I'm still here, buddy. But not showing up on your world map. I'm a West Coast US Dude. Like your site -- It's my cup of tea. Like the gfz. We humans have a vast repertoire of face, hand & bod gestures that convey a vast array of complicated emotional statements that appear & then disappear almost instantaneously that each of us recognize subconsciously, if not consciously. In fact, if you're talking to someone, & they suddenly go silent & remain unchanging for some moments, we tend to get nervous by their unchanging unresponsiveness. I had a male friend, Don, who was very handsome & bright. Both of us were born on the same day but one year apart We met in German class in junior college & became friends. It was difficult being around Don for any length of time. Was invited to his home once with other people. On entering the house with some other guests, I met his mother. After a brief conversation, everyone went outside on the patio. His mother held me back. She noticed the awkwardness I felt being around Don & explained to me that as a baby Don had extreme frequent seizures &, to remedy the situation, the doctors had operated & disconnected nerves to the (amygdala glands?) to stop the seizures. So that from that time forward Don had no emotional reactions to anything. He was a loyal friend, but I couldn't stand to be in his presence more than 30 minutes at a time. For me, being with him was very unnerving. He was married & divorced 3 -4 times. Each time with a new wife, he came to see me because his new wife wanted to meet his friends & I was the only one he felt any connection to. And then I lost track of him. An example of how extremely keyed in we are to our emotional makeup.

Passing Comment about 2 things that we as Gays need to address:(1) the bigotry in gay culture, & (2) the widespread presumption & acceptance that during sex a person is either assigned to active versus passive role (& the various sex cults that have arisen based on this premise) -- accompanied by the abandonment sexual versatility as exemplified by coordinated sexual activity. Example: As told to me by a friend that after spending a day with my friend, the Prince said to him, "Let's have sex. I don't care how we do it. I just want to have sex with you. You can be the woman or I will be the woman. That doesn't matter to me." What happened? Another day, another time.
