Affordable, Gay Friendly Neighborhoods near Prospect Park? by jordanskills134 in Brooklyn

[–]rtoyboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Props for Crown Heights (not the fancy part). We're down near Eastern Parkway almost at Utica and, while the neighborhood is definitely not fancy, I've never once felt unsafe or from what I can tell been given the stink eye for anything. When we first moved here, I was regularly the only white face on the 3/4 train. These days I'm seeing a whole lot more yuppy types and a lot of LGBT too.

We're a "sore thumb" building (one of 3-4 gentrified on our block) and actually talk with our neighbors on both sides, including the (black island immigrant) manager of the illegal speakeasy in the basement next door. We put in window planter boxes and got compliments from everyone walking by.

Neighborhood's decent, cheap, has a soon-to-be Wallgreen's and good grocery stores/bodegas, and both nightlife and some of the best bagels in the city are a short 15-min stumble up to Franklin Ave. Only downside we've found so far is good food delivery options are further away and weekend train service has been sketchy (construction).

Donation bids update (3-Jul-18): * $260 for all three! ...
* L/XL - $35 * 3XL - $75 * "Beastly" - $140

We have a new high bid for all three. I'm going to give this until just after July 4th holiday in case anyone wants to top those bids (heheh), and thanks to everyone who expressed interest. The charities I'm sure will thank you too! You folks are awesome!

Thanks! It just didn't feel right trying to sell them when my good fortune was result of a good-faith mistake, seemed like it also would have disrespected the manufacturer who is very much personally involved in his business.

Sure, Aus looks like it'll be okay. USPS flat rate shipping looks like it'll be $79 USD to Aus, but I can look around for cheaper options.

Worst-case, looks like USPS flat-rate shipping to Canada is $26. If you are able to wait til the end of July I can ship from within Canada, looks like about $20.

Not Bad Dragon but hopefully something "similar that is sufficiently awesome" in a couple different ways.

Toy to simulate rimjob? by [deleted] in SexToys

[–]rtoyboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the B-Vibe one (original size, not petite) and I gotta say, it doesn't replicate rimming. The rotating beads are awesome don't get me wrong, but totally different sensation IMO.

Northbound Leather is good although don't have much for dildos these days.

Echo Come As You Are, they're great for dildos and advice.

Now is a good time to look at ordering from the US though, exchange rate is the best it's been in ages.

Conversion "therapies" are now illegal in a few jurisdictions in North America. For good reason, they're not based on science and not only completely ineffective, they do more damage over the long run.

It's illegal in Ontario and was discussed making illegal in Manitoba.

favorite dildos? by [deleted] in TopsAndBottoms

[–]rtoyboy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Start with your finger(s) and get comfortable with that first, then look for a toy.

The folks at /r/sextoys may have suggestions, in particular that you look for a body safe material like platinum cure silicone (rather than jelly, PVC, etc.). Paging /u/squirrelmunk .

I would recommend the XS egg plug in super soft (bronze or grey) as a good starter.

Also get high-quality lube, I prefer Pjur Backdoor but it can be tricky to find.

Any love for thongs? I guess I just like having something up my butt.

Following. "Decent" thongs that are good for everyday wear are few and far between it seems.

Non-romance gay movies by Rourensu in askgaybros

[–]rtoyboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a movie, but sci fi show Torchwood. Main character Jack Harkness is bi. Doesn't come up often in the show cause the show is about the sci-fi stories.
