An Actual Relationship

 

Morning.

A question from a Faithful Reader:

"I wanted to ask something deeper today. Lately, I keep thinking about how so many men feel lonely. It’s like an epidemic of loneliness. Many of us go through these cycles: watching porn, jerking off, scrolling apps like Grindr, hooking up quickly, and then back to the same loop again. It’s dopamine, dopamine, dopamine… but I wonder, what’s happening to real human connection?

I love seeing beautiful men and big cocks, of course – it’s hot and exciting. But then I look at reality and realise I don’t have those types of connections in real life. And when I try to, it often feels empty, like there’s no camaraderie, friendship, or genuine care. Just quick sex and leaving.

Do you ever think about this? What is the reality behind the fantasy we see here? I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with what you’re posting – I actually think it’s beautiful to see these men. But I’m curious about your perspective on why we feel so lonely despite all of this. Why is there so little talk about building healthy, human relationships alongside our sexual desires?"

The situation you're asking about has been developing over the years since social media began, and has only gotten worse since COVID. We have isolated ourselves. The idea of the hook-up apps, like Grindr, etc, are fine for their intended purpose: Sex; a lot of it anonymous, one-time things to satisfy the urge. But if we want social connection or an actual relationship, we have to get out among people. Even if we're introverts, we can still feel more connection and establish friendships and relationships by getting out of the house. By going and doing things which interest us, we'll "find our people" as the saying goes. Volunteering, joining a club.

I think a lot of folks think that being on social media is establishing relationships. The connections aren't close --- those "online friends" don't really care beyond typing a few words or clicking the emoji, Thus, the stay-at-home experience leaves them feeling alone and lonely.

That's my take on it, anyway.

What say you, Readers?

Tops the List

 

Morning

From 100F yesterday to 62F and windy today. Ugh. A/C repairs today. At least the guys won't be sweating their cakes off.

Senator Mike Lee (R) Utah introduced legislation that would make porn a federal crime.

"Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah) recently introduced the Interstate Obscenity Definition Act (IODA), which would effectively criminalize all pornography nationwide by legally redefining what it means to be obscene. For years, “obscenity” has been all but a defunct legal category that narrowly defines speech that remains unprotected by the First Amendment. Lee would explode this legal category, expanding it to encompass virtually all visual representations of sex.

Some critics have suggested that Lee’s definition of obscenity is so ridiculously broad that it could effectively criminalize Game of Thrones." [Bold is mine]

Worth noting, Google reports Utah tops the list of the most viewership:

"States often mentioned in lists of high porn-watching include Utah, Alaska, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida. It's important to note that these rankings are often based on data from specific online pornography sites, which may not be fully representative of all porn consumption."

I encourage you to read the short article - it's worth the few minutes. If he's successful, it could spell the end of all adult blogs - making us all susceptible to criminal prosecution and imprisonment.

A question from a reader wanting to know what show these gifs are from.

Correction: I posted that the gifs were from Shameless. The gifs are from The White Lotus, Season 3; Lochlan (Sam Nivola) masturbating his older brother Saxon (Patrick Schwarzenegger). 

Thank you erosart and Anonymous for setting the record straight.

I really must get back to watching it.

Answer Me This

 

Morning.

"OK, so answer me this ... Why is it that all the porn guys have perfectly pink buttholes?

Is there a special anal bleach/procedure that they use to gain/maintain their pinkness? "

Yep. They do get them bleached. Aestheticians can do it, but there are also gels you can get formulated specifically for that purpose. Musely --- the pharma company --- sells one ($33 US) with a prescription that (I think) they will give you via TeleHealth.

The adult entertainment industry uses all kinds of "tricks of the trade." The guys are prepped and fluffed before the cameras ever start rolling. And camera angles are used to their best effect to make their stars appear to be more "hung" than they truly are. Just things to keep in mind as you scroll the porn sites.

I hope everyone had a great Christmas / Kwanza / Hannukah.

And I send special thanks to Bruce and Bryn. Without the B Boys, there wouldn't have been any Christmas Chuckles. And, in complete honesty ---- the majority of Monday Giggles and Midweek Mirth are supplied by them.

 You didn't really think I'd collected thousands of those things all by myself, did you? Hoist a glass of Thanks in their honor!
