Balding?
I found it too patronizing.
Sex workers have had a big stigma in any society, sorry for the troubles, but you were really naive if you thought things were going to be just fine by choosing such career.
And even beyond that, even if you look past as if it was "like any other job" (it really isn't), not everyone is going to have an easy time about it, even his boyfriend who seemed very open minded didn't felt exactly ok with seeing it. You need a certain exhibitionist mindset that most people don't have about sex, and no, that doesn't mean you hate sex, as he seem to imply many times.
I would love to see some real statistics about the industry though, and impartial view of pornography, the real percentages of people who scort as well, drug and alcohol abuse, overall mental health, etc, etc. I wouldn't expect the results to be terrible, but I also wouldn't expect them to paint a nice picture.

It might be my imagination, but over the last half year I've slept with three guys at different periods. Consequently, I also have ended up performing oral sex on them. I swear that it seems to me each time I blow someone almost the next day or day after that I get a sinus infection. During or after oral I sometimes worry that I have swallowed a hair which sometimes leaves my throat feeling a little irritated. Any thoughts?
Everyone claims to be clean and I have been tested for all the fun stuff.

Hard to say. It could be a sensitivity to some form of body wash or soap that he used. It could be bacteria colonizing your sinus that are normal when found on a penis (or GI-associated bacteria if the penis went somewhere else before oral entry), but are disease-causing if in the oral cavity, especially if you are/were immunocompromised at the time.
It could just be coincidental.

Nah, though it sort of looks that way. It's been like that ever since I was a child.

I saw it mostly as an appeal to our humanity, personally. We put sex in this particular category, and sometimes it's baffling why. It's a form of hedonism, but there are sane attitudes towards hedonism, and to try to avoid empty platitudes the attitude behind it seems to be the real culprit. Sex is kind of like fire, it can become greedy and destructive and consume everything, or it can be harnessed and make the world a warmer place. And I say this as someone relatively 'prudish', I don't mean that as an underhanded way to say that everyone should be okay with it so much as offering some personal context, I think sometimes viewing sex as this base thing is too easy when really it's not without its own kind of nobility, even though sometimes it doesn't seem that way. Like in more classical or archetypal terms 'courtesan' seems like a totally valid and respectable vocation, and certainly a necessary one (does this make sense?). I'm not knowledgeable about this subject at all though, but I agree with the spirit of what he said. But I've been such a gd bleeding heart lately, everything has pulled at my heartstrings.
Use your hair emo style.
Seriosly, my hair covers my forehead at times, so it never looks big

Something so strange is happening to me. At any moment I feel like I could cry from some kind of happiness. It's like my spirit has been ennobled. I used to read about the wounded healer archetype and just think of it as a noble idea, but I get it now, it's like my psyche reached some progressive level of integration. I didn't know people felt like this (outside of doing entheogens). Now I know at least part of the reason I was driven to spirituality, there was this latent potentiality underneath my state of unhappiness I don't know why I'm talking about this here.

Are you having an orgasm?

You must have amazing orgasms! (lol no) I don't know what's happening, it's a bit uncomfortable actually, like you develop a center of gravity within a particular perspective that you have, but suddenly that has shifted. I think the crying thing is to relieve some of this stress because it's kind of overwhelming. It might be because I was emotionally numbed for such a long time that now there's this weird rebound effect.

No, I know what's doing it, it's been a really consistent and reproducible phenomenon for me lately. A part of me is hesitant to actually talk about the 'how' though considering that it might be some product of individual psychology or something. I don't want to seem like I'm 'selling' anything if that makes sense considering it might just be something that's working for me. Does that make sense or does it seem like I'm trying to have it both ways since I'm still talking about it lol? I'm finding it hard not to talk about it tbh or I wouldn't be.

Mindfulness of breathing meditation as taught by Thanissaro Bhikku. In a nutshell you're just collecting your awareness on some spot within the body (not visualization or anything, it`s interoceptive), while you observe the subtle breath sensation throughout your whole body at the same time with an emphasis on attending to the easeful or pleasurable dimension of these sensations. The analogy is kind of like how if you put a candle into a dark room, it lights the whole room, but there's still a focal point. The breath has a lot of sensations that aren't directly tied to the passage of air, I think this is what the taoists call "qi", it's like a subtle sensation of movement or energy that you can feel everywhere if you pay attention and let your mind calm down a bit.
The key point for me was collecting your awareness in this focal point with a sense of ease or 'non-doing', if you apply a really rigid effort it doesn't work. For the one point that seems to have an amazing effect for me (the direct centre of your head, you find it by making an 'MMMMmmmmm' sound and scanning the inside of your head, the part that seems to vibrate last is supposed to be the spot, it's kind of hard to find because there's really nothing to grab a hold of here). Don't collect your awareness anywhere in your head if you are prone to headaches, though. Focusing too hard is a sure recipe for headaches for me, and I`m not even prone to them. Here's the common list of locations presented by Ajaan Fuang, Thanissaro's teacher.
http://www.accesstoinsight.org/lib/thai/fuang/itself.html#appendix
For some reason these other locations don`t do anything special for me. I've been meditating for over a couple of years and I've never had results like this, I have no idea why this is so different for me.

Just an insider from popjustice forums, said "Spice Girls 2014 is coming" and also an announcement coming in "much less" than a few weeks. He's reliable.

Well despite how unfortunately the lyrics are, it's never an excuse for homophobia. So good on you for doing that!! :] :]
I still don't know why people find this video so offensive, It's just some harmless fun song with a sexually explicit video some gay artist made, it's not like it's the only song like that.
I guess it's mostly homophobes who have a problem with it.

Tbh I'd be popping my boy pussy to this song if the lyrics were a bit better. LOLLL!
He's quoting the song. And setting himself up for blackmail by GAF quote.
I'm debating whether or not to show my sister this to hear her reaction.
Ah. Thank ye.

This video confirms that I:
1) Have a strong dislike for the term "boy pussy".
2) Find men's asses to largely be a turn-off.
I don't see how it's any worse than the hundreds of videos with scantily-clad "dancing", though. (When we aren't factoring homophobia, internalized or otherwise, as the main reason, at least.)

I love asses but that video is just awful.
wait...
Those weren't girls!? I'm confused....
edit: oh boy, I found the whole thing hideous so I only saw a few seconds in and I understood something completely different, like give that boy "pussy" because he's in a dry spell or something like that, I'm not up to this kind of english D:

Yes!
I'm not watching The Red Road though. I planned on it but the average critical reception turned me off from watching it weekly. I watch waaaaaay too many shows as is and I don't have time to fit in a(nother) mediocre one into my weekly schedule. I do still sort of want to check it out eventually though, maybe when Netflix gets it.
As for the ratings, it's hard to say really. All we have are the premiere numbers - the ratings for the other two episodes haven't been reported. Sundance's other shows: Rectify, Top of the Lake, and The Returned weren't rated by Nielsen, so we can't compare The Red Road's premiere performance to theirs and we certainly can't compare them to the ratings of other shows on other channels. All we know is that it premiered to 342,000 viewers, which isn't bad, but it isn't that good either.

Madness.
Face, (penis), and upper body before all others. I wonder what the general trends about such preferences are, though.
Quality, maybe?
For me, face >>>>>>>>>>>> the rest. Being in the gym a lot, muscles don't do much for me without the attractive face to go with it. OTOH, even if a guy has a belly but his face is attractive, I'd still go for him.

bellies are not a negative at all imo
