Sad news out of New York. Celebrated activist and playwright Larry Kramer died yesterday, just shy of his 85th birthday. RIP Larry. Thank you for your fierce leadership!
It was the HIV/AIDS crisis that gave birth to the New York Jacks, a place for men to find a safe outlet.
There are masturbation groups all over the world now.
But, because of the CV-19 pandemic, those are shuttered and many turn to virtual buddies.
Rather gives new meaning to Masturbation Month.

RIP Larry and thank you for everything.
Thanks for the lovely photos, as well!
I have been many times to the Philly Jacks, always a great time. Too me jacking off with other men is one of the hottest things to me, watching a guy enjoying touching and pleasuring himself, and getting to know his cock.
Over the last two months I have had several hot sessions online with guys. It's been a new experience and I can't say I dislike it. I really like the guys who like the slow reveal. When guys say that that things out right away, it spoils it for me.
I read about him. Great man, may he R.I.P.
I think it’s awesome there are masturbation parties.
Oh, I did check Chaturbate. So. Much. Fun!

He was certainly a trail blazer.
rain, rain, rain. Can't complain. Chased a black snake away, don't need a pet.
hugs and bisous, stay well.
Larry Kramer was an interesting ine, since I've heard it both ways.
Some gay lib types, center-right Johnny come latelys, never liked the guy because he predicted AIDS. (Similar to the anti-mask crowd today.) If you consider anonymous anal sex central to gay identity, he's not for you. But for those of us in the non-penetrative side of things, he also expressed the frustration of the 80s, and provides an alternative in the form of organized circle jerks.
I think, given some of his research (or lack thereof) habits, Larry's legacy is going to be a mixed one at best. But discredits, aside, let's give credit where it is due... he did shine a light in a time of darkness. And for that, we need to be eternally grateful. Have a goood weekend.
For sure, it's a sad news.
Larry Kramer was the Martin Luther King of the hated people that AIDS most affects: gay people and people of color.
I quote him: "I do not mean dislike, or feel uncomfortable with. I mean hate. Downright hate. Down and dirty hate."
Dying from pneumonia is not the best death (if there is one) but he had a long life, and I hope he will rest in peace for eternity.
Hugs and bisous, my darlings Jean and Pat. I love you a lovely weekend, with no black snake for instance)
@ Jean - It's been 106-108F here. A few stray clouds. (I owe you an email.) Snake? I don't like snakes. Nope. LOL.
@ mistress - Can't go wrong with a Jacks club. Ya just can't. :-)
@ Sixpence - Glad you've found Chatterbate...uh, useful! :-)
