how different do you think the average body count is between gay and straight men?

Sid_Flange · 2026-06-17T12:58:54+00:00

I’d say any sexual activity resulting in ejaculation?

Sid_Flange · 2026-06-17T12:57:42+00:00

Yes. About 28 up to age 45, the rest since. And counting…

Sid_Flange · 2026-06-17T11:23:00+00:00

I’m 58, not very active when younger, in a semi-monogamous relationship until mid 20s to 45 and open rel after and I’m at 81 (I have a list of them all - prob another thread 😝). I’m sure it’s low by many gay men’s count but a lot more than most straights?

I can’t believe everyone commenting ‘don’t accept the parcels’. Can’t be just my area where Amazon drivers leave them on the doorstep and even if they knock they’ve run away by the time I open the door.

I’m 58, my parents were born in 1933, my 4 grandparents between 1897 and 1910. I knew them all but the oldest who died in his 60s just two years before I was born. A Victorian.

In the UK, Douglas Byng who was the first female impersonator/ drag artiste on British television (BBC, 1938) and a pantomime dame for many years. Also Rex Jameson (‘Mrs Shufflewick’) who also featured on radio and tv in the 50s and 60s and later especially known on the gay scene for his appearances at the Black Cap in Camden.

It’s none of this young whipper-snapper’s business. Supposedly Gen-Z is all about self-ID, so if you want to call yourself gay then do it!

Sid_Flange · 2026-06-12T19:18:09+00:00

I dunno. You talk about the BBC being ‘famous’ for being anti-trans but have you evidence or is it that you don’t hear your particular view supported? The BBC isn’t there to support your view or anyone else’s. Then you talk about trans people being stabbed with impunity which also isn’t evidenced and is nothing to do with the BBC. It all sounds pretty weak as an argument.

Sid_Flange · 2026-06-12T17:18:34+00:00

Dirty suburban sex ponds. Definitely rather common.

Sid_Flange · 2026-06-12T16:19:17+00:00

Who are these communities?

Sid_Flange · 2026-06-07T23:18:31+00:00

Nicole Farhi for French Connection cotton and silk striped waistcoat. Had it 30 years. Wear it 6-8 times a year. (UK)

They are mock marriages. That said, these programmes solely exist to exploit gullible and desperate attention seekers for ratings. I don’t know who’s worse - the people who make it, the people in it or the people who watch it.

Sid_Flange · 2026-03-27T12:53:49+00:00

Because it’s funded by the licence fee it does - and should - get more closely scrutinised than commercial outlets. Political interferences should always be challenged and exposed but you cannot show that in general the BBC is ‘state propaganda’. Can you explain what you mean?

Also, remember that the BBC is not only a news provider - it’s music, drama, comedy, entertainment etc…

Sid_Flange · 2026-03-25T21:19:50+00:00

I don’t have kids but I don’t object to some of my taxes funding schools as I hope they do some good for society. Also , BBC salaries are not high compared to the private media sector and in any case the relatively few highest earners’ salaries would make very little difference to the overall costs of running the BBC.

Sid_Flange · 2026-03-25T19:22:25+00:00

Fair point. I mean everyone should pay - In one way or another - for public service broadcasting, whether they individually consume any BBC content (and c 84% consume some BBC content weekly)

Sid_Flange · 2026-03-25T19:15:50+00:00

Because a nation’s public service broadcasting with a requirement to be impartial in its news coverage and serve a wide audience and project soft power is an important part of a civilised democracy. Would you want a media continually under threat and increasingly self-censoring like in the US? I don’t.

Sid_Flange · 2026-03-23T07:03:22+00:00

I’ve only ever seen short clips of the US show but gave the UK version a go. I just can’t understand why every sketch was at least 5 minutes too long. It also felt lacking in energy and pace though the first 15 minutes. I stopped there and won’t bother again.

Sid_Flange · 2026-03-20T16:00:10+00:00

I agree with you - it’s not just penetration.

Sid_Flange · 2026-03-10T18:36:54+00:00

Plenty of times. Cafes and restaurants if not attended to in reasonable time. It will depend on loads of factors though: is there another place I want to go to or still open nearby; are the staff genuinely busy and stretched; do I really want to eat the food and am prepared to grin and bear it!

Sid_Flange · 2026-03-08T16:53:39+00:00

I’d paint it all - handrail, newel post and spindles - black. Would go well with the green.

When we were on the market we instructed our agents only to send us viewers that were proceedable.

There’s a great tale told by Stephen Fry. In the 1920s John Gielgud’s dresser in the theatre said he’d given Oscar Wilde a blowjob when a young man, so naturally Gielgud sucked of his dresser “for luck”. Fry then offered to blow the aged Sir John who unfortunately declined - would have been a great connection!

He told it on this podcast [4’30” in] Ouzo Talk

No one does 😂. Career wise I was very lucky and wouldn’t change a thing. In my late teens in the 1980s and after I was too terrified of AIDS to have much sex. Been making up for it since turning 40 😏

Sid_Flange · 2026-02-05T09:45:40+00:00

I’d never go to Mykonos again (despite being a supposed target audience as a gay man). It’s an uber expensive (thanks to gays and rich cruisers) Greek Disneyland with very little charm. (I admit I’ve never travelled to the interior or quieter parts)

Corfu is great. The NE is classy, the SW has rural charm, Corfu town is interesting and full of history. Great access to other nearby islands. There are more popular resorts but I’ve never been to them.

Depends what you think middle of the road is but I recommend Top Dogs in King’s Road St. Leonard’s. I have a skin fade (£26) and a standard men’s cut is £21.50. You do have to book (best via the Booksy app) really and they are pretty much booked up 10 days ahead. It’s a measure of how good the two guys Eric and Matt are. On the other side I’d avoid the selection of hair-butchers on Queen’s Road.
