I like to exercise some valve control on that end, if you know what I mean. Not good having things all stretched out with so much potential for bad things to escape at the wrong time. :p

Er, you know that's not really how it works, right? Look at the goatsex.ce guy interview, he could retain his bowels, and we saw what HE could do.
I missed that interview. And i do think tscenter really DOES know how it works. ;)

Could someone of their lifestyle answer something:

What do they do at these things? Is it just an excuse to have an orgy and meet "others" of the same preference/lifestyle?

I've seen various 'articles' removed from the aft portal of several folks who apparently have never heard of a pull-string. I've also seen more than my share of rectal abscesses, some of whom were obviously homosexuals with a predilection for very, very, large things.

Yes, sphincters are very resilient.....to a point. Keep plunging things in there that ain't suppose to be, and eventually....

i don't think I have to be of that life style to answer . . . . first of all - What things?
Party? Dance? Drink?

Clearly socializing is for (any) people who don't wish to be alone.

I doubt that many gay men in a committed relationship are into the club scene unless they both like dancing. However, many gays feel UNwelcome in the str8 'party' world so they create their own. There are as many differences and preferences in gay men and women as in str8 men and women. Generalizing is usually wrong.

An tscenter, you're the paramedic right? I am certain you have seen some pretty XXtreme things from all kinds of people. Extreme behavior brings extreme results. ;)

That's pretty much how gay men work. Get enough of us together in one place, sex will start happening.

"things" being what the title is discussing. Big 30,000 gay men party. I just thought it odd that they would have to start their own special "thing" at a city where they go to for this "party". It seemed kind of odd from a person's view point unless something was going on (thus the suspected orgy).

That is what I was thinking. The sex thing is a man thing. If women were more agreeable there would be much more casual sex on the straight side.

I don't think an orgy is the reason for the party. :p

Do you need a REASON to party? Does anyone?

And it is a 'given' that a lot of men go to clubs and are into the party scene for sex (drugs and r'n'r).

Though I did hold EMT Basic certification (until it lapsed), I never worked as an EMT. I worked in surgery and post-op, with the occassional stint in ER, Labor and Delivery, or Ortho Clinic, when they needed extra manpower.

Women are agreeable, and they love sex. The problem is communication between men and women. Now with gay people, that particular kind of communication is a lot more clear cut.

Also, gay people like to be in an environment where they feel that it's "safe" to let loose and be themselves. This, I think, is a natural tendency for everyone; we all like to be in comfortable, familiar environments as opposed to hostile or indifferent ones.

Thanks Dr. Ruth. Maybe I should have said if it were more socially acceptable. Yes women love sex but you will find very few who will throw down just for the hell of it. At least not without a little investment. Men are simply more hedonistic.

Whaddya mean by "out"? :Q

lol, out to Palm Springs. I made it out of the closet about 15 years ago ;)
Have you ever been to one of these huge circuit parties?

And it's gonna be PERFECT weather for poolside . . . low 90sF. :)


Hehe, your mention of Circuits Party reminded me of something I read a while ago.

The problem with these kinda parties is the amount of drug use going on at them. Crystal, E, Cocaine will be flying around.. I think it almost an unofficial subtext to the name "White Party."

FYI for anyone who cares, there are lots of circuit parties, this is just one of them. Fireball, in Chicago, is another, and there is one in Florida too, don't remember the name. Some are more big gatherings of DJ's and are kind of cool.. I would say the white party has the skeeviest reputation, from what a few of my friends have said.

Easter has always been a party weekend . . . it was originally the "rebirth of Spring" before the churches "christianized" it. :p

Actually, the gays have got the Spring Holiday right and probably a lot more fun too.
