Dammit!
Guin got there first.
: pout:
I hung around the gay community (mainly male) for a few years, and I can attest that gobear’s assertion that ALL gay men sleep around promiscuously, is not accurate.
However, almost all of them do.
Its a fact.
Musicguy Is an exception.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that…

Secrets, secrets, are no fun…
Unless you tell everyone!
Nope.

Apologies in advance if this was a joke and for my sanctimoniousness on this issue; also, feel free to post this link in any thread/forum you feel it would be appropriate. Look at these pictures. Please.
Silly wabbit. Whoosh.
Wabbit, did you read this thread and the one that spawned it before you posted? This is the exact same crap that started this in the first place, and it did not need to be repeated.
If you think you are being helpful, you are sadly mistaken.
And the thing about maintaining Pit machinery is that it’s so easy. It pretty much runs itself, and just needs the tiniest spot of oil here and there.
Wabbit, I applaud you for demonstrating how easy it is.
Yea, y’all are probably right. I feel strongly on this issue for a number of reasons so perhaps it’s best if I just avoid certain threads and/or posters in the interests of keeping things relatively civil here.
You’re SLUTS!!! You’ll all get…
,…HERPES!!! (ehehehe…I said “herpes…” hehehehehe)
he’s a slut…ehehehe…yeah, yea…sluts!!! SLUTS!!!
He’s a Slutty McSlut!
Wow, Wabbit, for sheer cluelessness…
I quit. I give up. Nobody is listening.
Oh for . . .
Actually, it was Mona whose life was much like mine… at least in the first book 
But I do know where Barbary Lane really is, and I have met Maupin - so I am 
[silly TOTC aside] I am the only woman I know who was actually asked to enter a jockey shorts dance contest by the owners of the bar. I declined, 'cause a friend of mine was entered (and there was no way tits were gonna beat that cutie!) [/sTOTCa]
Thanks for your response, Gobear. If you are ever in town, let me know 
I have a question, and now that things are quiet in here I’d like to stress that this is solely for my edification. No points, political or otherwise, are intended. No warrenties are expressed or implied to the quality of my spelling or grammer, either.
Anyhoo, I was reading back on page one under Gobear’s post:
etc…
Well, I haven’t an opinion one way or t’ other, not having nearly any grasp on the subject, but I do have to ask: how do you tell? Descriptives of bars, chat rooms, and specific locals and night clubs aside; for all gay people who, like Musicguy, don’t hang out in those sorts of places how does one know they’re outnumbered by those who do? How do you tell, from the experience you have, that Musicguy is the exception? If experience, and the people you meet, are the only ways, that’s cool. It’s not like Gallup is doing a poll (or that it’d be accurate).
Thanks,

Perhaps gobear, matt, scott or esprix can be more helpful but I can share my experience. I have met others who feel the same way that I do so I know that I’m not unique (therefore, probably not worthy of a museum display sorry, couldn’t resist) I do get the impression that I am in the minority though which horribly limits my options. I would highly doubt that people like me outnumber anyone. And like I said in the other thread, there is a certain irony in spending your life feeling like a outcast for being gay, then finding out that your beliefs make you an outcast in the gay world too.
I’ll try to explain, best I can, why I feel the way I do. It’s not based on prudishness or being closeted because I am neither. It comes more from a desire to find someone that I can grow old with. That is pretty much my dream.
I’ve had the misfortune of having sex with someone that I didn’t care about. I knew them a long time, I trusted them, I thought they were a good person. They thought the world of me. But I didn’t really love them and as a result, it was less than fulfilling, it changed an otherwise good relationship, and I have always regretted it. After the fact, it seemed like a waste of time. Perhaps if I had waited until I felt love for them, we would still be together.
For me, if that love isn’t there, well…lets just say that the physical act just didn’t mean anything to me. I came to the realization that I needed to find someone that I loved deeply to truly be happy. In my life, that has happened 4 times, each relationship lasting from 3-7 years. I have nothing but warm memories about each of them and they continue to feel right to me, even if they all came to an end. Do I think everyone should model their life this way? Absolutely not. I am envious of all the great sex that gobear, esprix (you slut ), matt, scott (and whoever else I left out) have experienced. There have been many times when I have fantasized about having a variety of guys (in a variety of positions) to fully experience all there is. At the end of the day though, it’s just not me, and given the opportunity, I probably wouldn’t be able to follow through with my fantasy.
There is plenty of room for all kinds in this world. My best chance at happiness is to do what is right for me, regardless of social stigmas and what the “norm” is.
Sorry for rambling, just wanted to try an offer an explanation as to my unusual behaviour.
If I may. May I? Oh, thank you.
Dear, dear Wabbit, I implore you…
GO FUCK YOURSELF.
Thanks ever so!

Yeah, Wabbit - heterosexuals aren’t allowed to post safe-sex warnings in gay threads, no matter how strongly they feel. Didn’t you know that?
Of course, if I say “Hey everybody! I sleep around!”, you can post the STD links, 'cos I’m straight.
Man, you’ve gotta have rules. We can’t be treating each other as equals or anything.
FWIW, I took GoBear’s “museum” comment as being a sort of backhanded apology…trying to be funny and lighten the mood without causing any animosity, but still being stubborn. It was the “Wow.” before the statement that made me think that.
Yeah Gobear, I’m defending you because I read into your comment. I read what you were trying to say and interpreted it if not correctly, but at least giving you the benefit of the doubt with you being a long-term rational poster.
Sorta what you DIDN’T do for me.
I’m upset that you still seem to be focused on the domestic violence links I included with the same sex rape links when I have already explained that I was pointing out that violence among gays (in general) does happen, nothing else, no judgements. And I’m really PISSED that you didn’t acknowledge my apology YET STILL continued to harp on me in a DIFFERENT FUCKING THREAD!
GAH!!!
FWIW, I’m sorry I jumped on you so severely.
You’re coming to this thread rather late aren’t you? Didn’t have time to read of over the whole thread, eh?
No sooner do the apologies start going around than you leap in to start the whole mess over again.
You were right. You were being sanctimonious. But if you’re going to provoke shouting matches, could you at least drop the martyred, “don’t-mind-me-I-wont-post-anymore” tone.
