So all of a sudden, motherfucking Republicans want to just say, oh, I would like to come back and I'll be able to answer that question. Or I plead not. They claiming they're not saying they're pleading the fifth. They're basically saying like, oh, that's a good question. Unfortunately, at this time, I can't answer that. And it was like, that's all the hearings. But when Hillary did that shit, everybody was up in heels.

Yeah it's i it's it's crazy like it's like everybody who's at the hearings on the republican side are not talking about nothing they can't answer a simple question it was like was you on the text was you in the tech group sorry i i great question unfortunately i can't answer it what do you mean you should know like you don't know if you was in a group chat or not so like how do you just like i mean if these are like elected officials how do you not just like oust them.

These is Trump people. Yeah, they're not elected officials. They're not elected officials. These are Trump-appointed people. Exactly. Part of the Defense Department. So, like, Tulsi Gabbard is the head of this Defense Department, I believe. Huh. But, yeah, it's very messy. You better get your poppers while they last. Oh, no, the poppers. I know. I gotta rack up and put them in the freezer.

So, this is from Out News. By Mayrood. Trump is coming for your poppers. The Trump administration has started coming for poppers. Double Scorpio, a company that sells lube, clothing, and accessories, as well as Double Scorpio Cleaner, a popular brand of poppers, has announced that it's stopping all operations following an FDA search and seizure at its offices. The FDA is currently under the purview of robert f kennedy jr who is in the past has said that he believes poppers causes aids.

Double scorpio, poppers causes aids double scorpio wiped its social media and website and replaced it with a statement posted on march 13th 2025 saying double scorpio has stopped all operations following a search and seizure at our offices by the FDA, and that the company believes that the FDA has performed similar actions towards other manufacturers and sellers of the product. Thank you to everyone who has supported us these last eight years.

We've always cared about making an authentic product and being engaged with a supporting community. The statement continues, we are very proud that we managed to build a brand that people can trust.

We don't want to see that trust exploited that link that links listed here will be the only channels where we will communicate from going forward thanks for everything and remember keep supporting queer businesses creators and your local queens according to a news site fast company several other merchants say they spoke to confirmed other companies experienced similar crackdowns pack west distributing one of the producers

of popular poppers brand rush rush and they got rush rush calling all sluts rush and, That's fine. Rush or Gakka poppers anyways. I like Rush. I like other ones better. I mean, there are better ones, but it's iconic. Has also wiped its website. Replacing it with a graphic showing the company's logo. Dang, what the fuck.

Poppers, also known as alkyl nitrates, are chemicals that, when smelled, relax or smooth muscles in the body, including the sphincter muscles in the anus, and increase heart rate and blood flow, often leading to a sense of euphoria. They are a popular party drug, especially in gay communities. The Food and Drug Administration is an agency with the Department of Health and Human Services that regulate clinical investigations of popular products under its jurisdiction,

such as drugs, biologics, blah, blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Are they wanting a sale? That's all I need to know. Do they link me to a sale to go ahead and give me some discounted poppers before? In 2021, the FDA said it was advising consumers not to purchase or use nitrate poppers, which can result in serious health effects, including death. However, it never cracked down on producers in this way.

The FDA is currently under the guidance of Trump's new Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Kennedy is known spreader of conspiracy theories, including that HIV does not cause AIDS, that COVID-19 was designed to spare Ashkenazi Jews, those from Eastern Europe, and Chinese people, and that Lyme disease is likely a militarily engineered bioweapon. In one video, Kennedy can be seen saying that AIDS was not a virus, but was spread through the paupers used among gay men.

The virus is a passenger virus, and these people are dying mainly because paupers, he said. A hundred percent of these people who died in the first thousand with AIDS were people who were addicted to poppers, which are known to cause capsicum sacrum in rats. And they were people who were part of a gay lifestyle where they were burning the candle at both ends.

What the fuck does that mean? When asked about this statement, in 2023, White House House Press Deputy Secretary Andrew Bates told the advocate that AIDS is a horrible tragedy and we can never insult the hundreds of thousands of Americans whose lives are stolen with extreme conspiracy theories that dangerously undermine public health.

Yeah dang that's wild r.i.p poppers i stack up i mean but the reality is is people aren't gonna stop using poppers right you know like because we import poppers in right unless they're gonna go store to store and hold people like store owners accountable to not sell poppers what if the manufacturers are getting shut down then how well i would imagine not all poppers are made in the u.s i'm sure like europe has their own poppers

and they're not imported from the u.s so we'll probably have to get them from other countries i mean i feel like right they were always supposed to be illegal that's why they call them like vcr cleaner yeah because it's not supposed to be sold and you're not supposed to buy that and so like i mean it's true like if you walk into a sex shop and you ask for poppers they're not allowed to sell it to you yeah they can't sell it to you anymore yeah though yeah

i think you're right but now it's just being enforced yeah so that's weird that they actually shut down these these poor vcr cleaner stores and i have to clean my vcr and now i don't know where i'm gonna get my vcr from because now the vcr cleaner maker doesn't make it anymore and i'm sure i can clean my dvd maker with that and other electronic devices yeah yeah and that's just weird but you know what i would i mean if you want to make up weird shit i would say that it causes cancer,

not AIDS. Right. Like, hello? You don't know the difference between causation and correlation? Come on, sis. It's a Kennedy. But, like, really? I'm like, that's some batshit crazy shit for you to say. But I did see somebody was like, not racking up, but like they end up going by a couple of vials of VHS cleaner. Just in case. Yeah. I mean, the reality is like everything is going to cause harm, right? Like all types of things that we ingest.

Like, yes, puffers, they're inhalants, right? They're going to be classified under that. and that's why they got banned because they fall under the inhaling category. But alcohol, which is legal, causes harm to people, right? But you're not banning that, you know? I mean, also air pollution. Right? Climate control. Yeah. What you going to say? The FDA got so much shit they can go after. They just want to harm gay people. Right? It's like... It's the one thing we have. Yeah.

Our one joy. Our one joy, Papa. I saw a video where it's like, now we're really going to get to know who are the power bottoms. Damn.

Get ready, girls. Jesus. I mean, but like anything you're going to outlaw, you're just going to create black market for it. You're going to make it push underground. I mean, that's also true. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, they did that shit with alcohol and bootleggers. Yeah, exactly. Right. And what are you going to be drinking? Alcohol.

Right exactly weird i mean people are just gonna like find other ways like they're just gonna i remember there was this guy that i was with he was like trying to get me to like to smell the dust off spray with him so i mean like people are gonna find weird yeah yeah that's inhalant too right yeah you know i'm sure if you yeah i mean and like, I'm not going to give advice to these companies to be like, you should just, switch it up and say you're a dust off. No, just say it's an essential oil.

Throw some some kind of oil that will just These are for comedic purposes. Drinks. Anybody go. Buy the queer LBC essential oil. Do not smell it. you're supposed to dab it on your neck.

Jesus but yeah I just think it's weird that you're telling people what they can do with their bodies, I also think like if you're gonna crack down on poppers you don't need to like make up this weird shit about how it causes HIV what the fuck there's a much more scientific based, reasons to ban it like it causes brain damage because of blindness you know like like i like i just also read an article about how jfk had like a gay love or not a gay lover a gay friend that

lived in the white house with them and he was like like deep in their family basically and then then i've seen in the comments somebody wrote like oh yeah that gay person used to do a heroin with rfk jr and then i'm like well is that why he's like making this weird shit up because like he has been around gay people and like he's just like seeing gay people die and like he's like it's cause the paupers yeah right but it's like, sis is a how do you not think

diseases are diseases yeah viruses also like how are we having people in congress not believing in science and then they're making laws that require scientific knowledge right like I don't understand I don't understand how you can bring in a piece of science and then the center would be like nah I don't believe that. Yeah I don't understand how you can argue on science.

Come on like I don't know you have to see both sides because I don't believe in it no, this is a crazy thing is like this idea that like we need to see both sides, constantly like in every like realm I'm like I feel like straight people are constantly like. When we have these conversations about these kinds of things, they always wanted me to see both sides, and they can't imagine that they can be wrong. They think that they're still right because that's how they see it.

And it's like, just because you see it a certain way doesn't make you right. It just means that you... I'm not opening up your mind to newer and other folks. People are fucking crazy. Like, you don't believe things? I don't get it. They believe the only thing is their rights. That they're right. That's the only thing they believe. Like, fuck it. Yeah. But did you guys hear about... You guys are Disney gays?

Or do you consider yourself to be Disney gays? No. No, I just know a lot of Disney things. Okay, so you don't go like to Disney. I mean, I had like an annual membership when it was like affordable, like way back when. But yeah, I wouldn't call myself a Disney gay. Okay, well, that's good. Well, no, that's well, I mean, good for Disney. Because Disney shareholders rejected a proposal from anti-woke organizations to cut ties with the HRC, which is the human rights campaign.

So Disney shareholders have voted to reject a proposal from a white right wing organization that would have had the company cease participate participation in human rights campaign, corporate LGBTQ plus equality rating program. So according to Variety, the proposal for Disney to withdraw from the HRC Annual Corporate Equity Index came from the Free Enterprise Project of the right wing organization National Center for Public Policy Research.

A page on the organization website called the Free Enterprise Project the original and premier opponent of the woke takeover of America corporate life. The proposal, which was presented at Disney, annual shareholders meeting on March 20th, claimed that a perfect score on the CEI can only be attained by a betting by its partition, divisive and increasingly radical criteria.

It also noted that the several companies, including Lowell, Ford, Jack Daniels, Harley Davidson, Tractor Supply and Toyota, ended participation in the CEI. Not Toyota. Damn. I'm not Toyota. I thought that's true. Right. Because I thought they was always, maybe I'm getting them confused with Hyundai. But I thought Toyota was LGBTQ plus friendly.

So in a statement on HRC's website, Eric Blom, Vice President of Corporate Citizenship at the organization, said that the vote was a clear statement of values from Disney's shareholders. He also pointed out that the shareholders at other companies, including Costco, Apple, John Deere, and all those other ones we named, have voted against efforts to roll back DEI. Like Disney has also come under fire recently though.

Cause I don't know if y'all, I don't watch the show win or lose, but they took a trans storyline out and replaced it with a Christian loving individual. So now the character is still in the, like the series, but it's not as you can tell, but it's not like a storyline. So, however, HRC has also been facing heightened scrutiny from LGBTQ plus people lately.

The organization announced in February that it would be laying off 20 percent of its staff amid heightened attacks on the LGBTQ plus community from the federal government. Roughly 50 people were let go, leaving the organization with 180 staff members. So Disney is the shareholders is doing what's right, which rejected the proposal. But still, like with some of the stuff that HRC protocol is not looking too good. Sounds like it. But yeah, I love Disney.

Would you say you're a Disney gay? No, I went once. Nino? No. I feel like my boyfriend is like a, or my boyfriend, my fiance is like a secret Disney gay. And because I shame him, he like doesn't come out of the closet with it more. Like I feel like he was like baiting me a lot in early in our relationship with Disney.

And i was like definitely like standoffish and really like no i'm anti-disney because i feel like the whole disney like disney adult and like disney gay is like you have to like go to orange county to be that and it's also like there's also like other like weird layer of like i feel like people in like in orange county like if you have like a like a year past like it's like this like, hierarchical system of like i'm better than you uh-huh if you don't have one

you're like and it's kind of like girl calm down because it's the only because but also disney is like the only form of like entertainment or culture that orange county has really oh i feel like. Yeah i can see that it's the biggest thing it's like their major like hub for like entertainment other than sports venues or like bars, breweries. Disney only bailed once, so I don't really know that much about it. I mean, the reality, I think they had to do this because of the Disney gaze, right?

It's a whole phenomenon, right? You have to show up and show out for a community that supports you a lot. But I feel like Disney is also a mixed bag where it's like hit and miss, right?

They'll do big things like this, but then they'll pull representation or or they don't speak out when they have like a lot of power you know i feel like it was like i remember that we had done like read articles before where it was like disney had done something and then all the gays like rebelled and then they were like shit i think that was the the x-man not even that like even like other shit where like they had like i I don't even remember what it was. Fuck.

Oh, God. But like Disney had done something and then like they retracted it. Disney always doing something. Because the gays revolted. And then I think Disney's like, oh no, we have to stand firm in our gay demographic because we're failing and we need every penny we can get. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, like they pick and choose on what they want to reject or approve and shit. Yeah. You're going to stand on business, stand on the business 100. That part all the time. And just be like, fuck it.

But I also feel like, and this is like not related to Disney, but I feel like I see in the media too, like certain people will like court the gay community and be like, I love the gays. As like their career is failing as like, like an attempt to like bash onto like a community to like give them money at like the last minute. That's cute. No, we choose. We choose. Right. Jennifer Coolidge. We choose who we help. That sounds so true. because you can try.

You may get a couple of dollars here and there, but if you don't get the community behind you, then you're going to have to be authentic and be real about your shit. Yeah. Because I remember seeing Young Miami doing that. And it was like, girl, we already found out that you were tied to Diddy. But I think this is also a good sign because I think companies are recognizing the power that the people have. Look what we've done in Target.

Look what we've done in Starbucks. you know like our financial boycotts are being really effective and now companies are acting accordingly and i think that if we continue to put pressure on people and protest using money you know we're gonna it's gonna we're gonna make some change have you guys been protesting with your money yeah i haven't stepped on target in forever same like the other day i needed some like hardware stuff and i just

found like a local hardware store we need lumber they still exist they still out here yeah yeah they still out here mmhmm Harbor Freight actually is not donating to Republicans I looked it up, It's good to know. That's good, yeah. Harbor Freight for your tools. Until they cut that check, go ahead and throw that out of there. Home Depot, however. Do not spend money at Home Depot. And Lowe's, we just found out something about Lowe's in this article.

I want to know about, like, Ace Hardware. Did y'all hear about yet another Republican pedophile? I did, what the fuck? So, according to Mira Lazen of Aaron in the Morning, Republican Minnesota State Senator Justin Eichhorn, known for authoring anti-trans legislation and proposing a bill that would classify hatred of Donald Trump, a.k.a. Trump derangement syndrome, as a mental illness, was arrested yesterday for allegedly attempting to solicit sex from a minor.

According to a statement from the Bloomington Police Department, Eckhorn believed he was arranging to meet a 17-year-old girl from prostitution but was actually communicating with law enforcement officers. The chair of Republican Party of Minnesota, Alex Pleshash, said in a statement on Twitter, As Republicans, we hold elected officials to a high standard. So, while Senator Eckhorn is entitled to due process, the seriousness of these charges warrants his resignation.

Public trust and accountability must come first. Definitely. Sicko. Sicko freak. Did you see a picture of him? Yeah. Like a creep. I can't believe he, like, got caught up in... Caught by a predator. What is that show? To Catch a Predator. Pretty much, yeah. Like... I'm just, like, shocked that, like, this administration is pursuing this man. I mean, I think they have to. I mean, at this point. It's too obvious. It's too obvious.

Like, you made a name for yourself with this. Because I remember he. How much arrangements is. I know. I've heard of these two bills that he's trying to pass. And then a week later, he got arrested. Oh, damn. So, like, he made a name for himself before this. And then. So, he was too big. Like, maybe if he didn't make a big hoopla about trans people, then maybe he would have gone away with it. He probably been able to blow that shit under the rug. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Nah. That's what. Gotcha. Yeah. That's what it is. Mm-hmm. That's what karma is about. Yeah. But, oh my God, I can't with this, was it Trump derangement syndrome? Yeah, what is that? I think I have it.

Every sane person who has a moral compass has it that is your deficit is having a moral compass and values i mean i'm definitely ever since he's gone in office i definitely feel deranged, i definitely feel on edge that that's a normal and healthy reaction, but i think it's just ridiculous and i think this really highlights, how mental health is part of the system because you can do something like that and be weaponized you know against you and it's been done before right

it's not just this right like being gay was in the dsm being being trans is still in the dsm you know but now they use it in a way where it is like to get your your gender affirming care which is dumb but women women were called hysterical and that's because they're being sexist and they're standing up to the patriarchy right like psychology is definitely like a puppet of this for the system and I say that as a psychologist.

Damn yeah that's weird unfortunate yeah very unfortunate well now fuck him but in regards of the senator but i know what you're talking about yeah but i'm glad i'm glad he got arrested, very glad now let's see if anything happens with the arrest though well the police the police officer the one that that released a statement saying that his police department takes these allegations very serious and yeah we know you do motherfucker yeah that ain't gonna do shit because once they get to the

judge the judge don't give a fuck what you talking about, you know what I'm saying so you the police officer the police department can do everything they want to we don't need facts we don't believe in facts right but once they get into the judge you already know yeah very sad, Very disgust. Freak. Sexual pervert. Deviants. Degenerate. Rotting in hell. How many children have you hearted? Right? This is not his first time. Right?

Like, all of a sudden, he's just... This is the first time he's ever talked to a little kid. Mm-hmm. And, like, what? Yeah. Because he... Why would anybody suspect you in the first place? Mm-hmm. Because I don't know why... I don't know in Minnesota the age because I remember them saying, like, if you come to the I guess the district he went to to go have this meetup was called like the orange jumpsuit district.

So, like, if you want to have meet up with an 18 year old, even if that that's still something as a senator, you shouldn't be doing. But I don't know what the legal age in Minnesota is for that. I think it's 18. They addressed that in the article. Let me see. Right, it's like 14 anyways. I mean, shit. Then if that's the case, then shit. Stand on law. Stand on. Oh, well, it's going to be felony charges. So they're using the federal

government. So the state can be a little different, but the federal, they're charging him federally. So they're going by 18. Oh, okay. La mail. Well, what did they say? What's the state law? It didn't say the state law. Oh, okay. It just said the federal law. So it must be the, oh. Yeah. Oh. They said you're a federal employee, sir. He said you work federally, don't you? Dang. And I hope, I hope they, they make him resign too. If he gets away with it, at least a resonation.

I mean, people have been fired for less. Right. Let alone you disgracing our system with a scandalous scandal. In other news, will you be adding either of Grindr's two new health-related updates to your profile? By David Hudson at Queerty.com. Grindr is going hard on promoting DoxyPep, besides offering the option to post one's HIV and vaccination statuses. Users can also add condoms and DoxyPep to their profile. Read on for the instructions. The move is part of Grindr for Equality, G4E.

It also looks like it says gay, kind of. Grindr's Social Impact Initiative. To accompany the move, the app is rolling out a series of videos to raise awareness about sexual health. Because they're so good at spreading disease. Allegedly. Just kidding. Doxypep is short for Doxycycline.

Doxycycline doxycycline post exposure prophylaxis it involves taking a single dose, 200 milligram dose of the antibiotic doxycycline within 72 hours of a sexual encounter to reduce the chances of acquiring an SCI such as gonorrhea, chlamydia or syphilis the sooner you take it after the sexual encounter the better a recent study from Northern California found those people using doxypep mainly men,

reported a substantial drop in STIs, around 80% for both chlamydia and syphilis, and 12% in gonorrhea. Last November, the CDC also noted a 2% drop in STI infection across the U.S. Experts believe the increasing number of gay men using doxypep contributed to this overall fall across the general population. Doxypep doesn't protect against infections such as herpes or HIV, so other STI prevention methods such as condoms and PrEP remain important. Here's the Grindr video.

Awareness on DoxyPep alarmingly low. Yeah, I noticed that. In a blog post, Grindr said awareness of DoxyPep remains alarmingly low. In a November Grindr survey of a 10,000 gain by users, 26 had never heard of DoxyPep, and another 45% reported little to no knowledge. What? By giving users... You don't want to... Guess how many straight people know what DoxiePep is? 0%. Oh, yeah, because it's not targeted for them. Right.

By giving users the option to include this profile information, we're shining a light on vital STI prevention strategy and chipping away at the healthcare barriers that keep people in the dark. Prevention shouldn't be reserved for those in the know. It belongs in every bedroom, every conversation, in every corner of our community. That's right. No one is obligated to disclose their sexual health status or prevention plans. You control whether to share this information, but you're able...

Yeah, except for you're probably sharing the data anyways, bitch. But you're able letting other Grindr users know and are people who are selling your data to. But if you're able letting other Grindr users know you're on Doxypep or that you use condoms can spark the sort of open dialogues that help break down stigma and close the knowledge gap. How to update your health profile. If you want to add condoms or DoxyPub to your profile, go to the edit profile section.

Scroll down to health practices where you can now add I'm on DoxyPub to your profile. This just sounds like an advertisement now, but I'm sharing health information. Scroll down to health practices here. You can now add I'm on DoxyPub to your profile along with other options. If you're unable to... If you're unsure how to access DoxyPep, speak to your health provider. Not that they probably know about it either. Since the fucking... Didn't they scrub the monkeypox off the fucking CDC website

or some shit anyways? Oh yeah, CDC is getting scrubbed. The CDC also has a health... Has a webpage with more information and a database of places to get DoxyPep. Okay, well good. For now. For now. Well, that's... I mean... Does that help anybody? I don't know. I mean, I think the most upfront you are, the better. But Sniffy's has that feature. Grander, you're late to the game, girl. Right? Why is this spotlight? Yay. I mean, maybe it's just an ad. I mean, it's a great thing.

Go health awareness. Health awareness. I guess it just signs the light on that nobody knows what DoxyPep is. I'm surprised, to be honest. I'm surprised. Well, not really, but I know... To be honest, I kind of am not a little surprised. I feel like... For the people who know, and then the people who are not out there in the streets like that, ain't gonna really know that. Yeah, I feel like... But I also feel like we're in a more like... No, I'm not gonna say that.

I just feel like... No. We know more things than other people. We're smarter than other people. Yeah, but I don't think it comes down to the smarts either. I think it's just we're also people who are, you're right, it's hard to describe. But I feel like it's almost, well, okay, so what I guess I'm getting at is, in my mind, things like sexual health and sexual knowledge is, like, things that you have to be, like, well read up on.

And, like, you have to, like, like, people don't have, like, AIDS knowledge or HIV knowledge, like, off the bat. Like, you have to be, like, involved, like, actively involved in learning about that.

And like i feel like as like gay people we are kind of actively involved in having to learn about like that kind of stuff i feel like i learned about like hiv like went like on purpose like when i came out of the closet because i was like oh like if i'm actually gonna be doing this like i have to like learn about myself and like learn how to keep myself safe because i can know that's like a thing but i mean i don't even know if that's like a lot of if a lot of gay people do that

in general or if that was just me no i think a lot of i would hope that a lot of, queer individuals do that for the knowledge portion of it because i also feel like learning about hiv was like something we did when we were younger because that's like when you go to college and you learn about that kind of stuff and they have like condoms in like those like well i don't know where you went to college well i mean shit i learned this in high school well i mean they

teach you about condoms in high school, but they don't teach you about HIV, I feel like. Did they? Well, this probably went because when the pandemic... I don't remember. Yeah. I feel like they did. I feel like I... I was educated, but this was in high school. Plus, I graduated way before you probably was born. Maybe they didn't. I just was a bad student. No, every student is good.

Every student is good. But yeah, I knew about it, but I just didn't really need to pay attention to it because at that time I was in the closet. So it's like, I ain't going to get it.

But yeah, I just... Yeah. I feel like you have to like Be like learning about it, Like that knowledge just doesn't come to you Yeah yeah Cause like so like if you ask a straight person anything about HIV They have no clue They don't know what it is, Well excuse me you're giving me this face like I guess they do but I mean I don't know what kind of straight people you talking to Well the straight people that I experience Like they don't know anything about it They don't even know

what like What is the other one?

They don't even know what PrEP is They don't even know that exists well prep is not gonna be well it should be for everyone but the market doesn't market it to them so i know the straight people who do know so i see what i guess i see what you're saying because, if you want to know you'll find out because i literally think that straight men only are concerned with getting the chick pregnant that they do not understand the other other consequences yeah right because the straight guys that i feel

like that i do talk to i feel like a lot of them when they talk about sex to me, they talk about they don't use condoms. And you said with that, then you know that they're not using, you know they ain't on prep. Yeah, so it's like, they're kind of just like, oh, well, she said she's on birth control, so it's fine. It's fine, yeah. And I'm like, oh, is it fine? You're not going to catch anything at all? Clear. Clean.

They don't have the idea that it's out there. Right. Then put you on that doxy prep, then you're really good.

Yeah, me do whatever you want. but yeah i guess i'm not i feel like i don't even think that a lot of gays know about it because i feel like i i don't know i feel i feel it's a higher chance that if you're on, on prep then hopefully your doctor should be talking to you about like doxy prep because i know where i go to which is kaiser when i'm surprised like how good they are like at least the doctor i have like it's doctor dedicated to

like infectious disease as a specialization and like sexual disease. Okay. So I get my prep from them and then they talk to me about DoxyPrep. But I knew about it before he talked to me. But yeah, they had that conversation with me. Because I feel like I've heard like other stories about like gays talking about to the doctor about PrEP and then the doctor being like, well, you shouldn't be like having like unprotected sex. Oh, yeah. That's just homophobia.

So it's kind of like I'm also not a lot shocked that they're like DoxyPep would even be known either. Yeah, that's true. Some of these older doctors and shit, they don't really know much about it. Because I remember when I first got on PrEP, my doctor was like, I don't know anything about this. I'm just going to write you a really ongoing procedure. Prescription for it. And I was like, sir, but so where I go and get my test, my blood test?

He's like, oh, I'll go ahead and refer you out for that. He said he don't know nothing about it. Yeah. But I'm just going to give you this medicine anyways. Well, because I came in and I was like, this is what I want. And this is what it's for. And then, you know. Doctor, dang. Yeah. What else can he get me, shit? He was an old ass doctor. So it was like, at least he was honest. At least he didn't affect the funk.

But I said that to say this, is that you also have to talk with your friends and your counterparts and use your community for your community. Because I didn't really know much about DoxyPrep until friends told me about it. Same, yeah. You know what I'm saying? So, like, at least your community, you should be around well-rounded individuals that think like you so that if something comes up, you have a support group and your community with you to let you know what it is. You know what I mean?

So, thankful for my friends who told me about it. And I followed up with my doctor, my new doctor. I don't have the old motherfucker no more. But, yeah. So, yeah. It's all about knowing, using your community. I mean, that's important. Have you guys ever taken it? Yes. Doxy prep? Yeah. Have you never taken it? Well, you said no. Well, you can't get no reason to take it. Yeah, I'm going to take it. You have a fiance. But yeah, doxy. Any other gay? What else we got? Oh, did y'all?

So the last time I did use doxy was because I had traveled away. You know, I usually use it when I travel. You know, when I go out and pee. And when you went to Mexico? Right. But did y'all hear about from the LGBTQ plus nation that seven countries are now warning trans travelers about visiting the U.S.

Because of Trump I would have never thought I mean I'm glad they are doing that but I would have never seen the day I would have never thought of the day that, we would have they finally getting woke I think they finally getting woke to who we've been talking about as if we were ever safe for these folks for them folks Shit. Yeah, that was crazy. But six European nations have issued travel advisory warning to transgender citizens flying to the U.S.

Over recent U.S. policy changes, directing directing federal employees to no longer recognize trans identities. These nations are Germany, Finland, the United Kingdom, Denmark, the Netherlands and France. Most have advised trans and non-binary travelers to check with the US embassies before traveling to the United States of course because our.

Psycho fucking our president is going through some crazy shit so the state he's going through some shit well the whole this we're going through some shit because of that motherfucker, so in addition to targeting gender expansive expansive individuals the current administration has also targeted immigrants. So even immigrants who are in the U.S. legally or those just visiting have been prosecuted and detained by ICE. As such, Germany was one of the first countries to issue travel warnings.

The decision to uphold the travel advisory came after ICE held several German citizens visiting the United States. One of the citizens, Jessica Brochet, was held in the U.S. for 46 days since January 25th. It was never stated why they were being held Ambrose was denied a translator, adding to the confusion. So they've just been continuing to just do that, but I'm glad these countries are issuing warnings to their... I mean, I feel like that's a good list to be

like, oh, maybe I should go live there. Right. These people care. You guys care about trans people. Warning them about us. Yeah. Fuck. They were like the land of the free. Nope. We're not classified as that anymore. I don't know. So be careful when traveling. I mean, you should also, matter of fact, you should always look at the county, the country that you're visiting or the country, whatever, wherever you're going, it's always best to look up if there's any

warnings because sometimes you just never know. Yeah. It's always a safe tool to do. Tragic that we are the ones that are the shithole country. Not tragic, but ironic. I mean, we've been. Is it though?

Right. it's understandable I mean look how we've been treating black people since they've come to this land look where we've been look around, nothing fucking new helping your eyes but I'm wondering when like when are we starting to get like human right violations you know, like when you get like your upside down triangle to where I mean, what do I say Oh yeah, I think these queens have deserved a break. Music.

Hey y'all, Christoph here And we just wanted to say thank you for all the love and support But don't forget to go ahead and give us a 5 star review A like, a heart, a comment You know they all help the podcast a lot From all of us here at the Queer LBC We greatly appreciate you Now back to the show. Music.

Stimulators have you had one do you have any what's the tea sis let's get into it do you guys use sex toys, when's the last time you used a sex toy honestly oh my god I think for me it's been years it's been a while, right it kind of seems like, we'd really be doing sex toys like it feels like a lot to get like something out of the out of a drawer, but then it's also the cleanup up yeah you know like i feel like i used sex toys a lot when i was like younger now what am i talking about i

actually probably i used a dildo like a week ago i'm sure no so recent so recent so yours recent mine's probably like yours probably like a year or two ago yeah what did you use i so i I think I told y'all this story before, but it was because I used a dildo, because I wanted to see how it was to be a verse top. And then I was like, I can't be a verse top if I hate that one. Yeah, fucked. So I was like, let me go ahead and try it on myself.

So I went and picked one up, tried to get like the smallest one and, you know, the one that looked like it won't hurt. And, yeah, put that motherfucker to work. Put her to work. Right. And I think that was the last time I, you know what? Before that, I actually, like, I think, not before that, but it was, like, with that, I bought, like, a butt plug. Oh, yeah. Because I think that was, like, because that was, like,

that's smaller and shit. Like, at least I could just, like, see how this works. Yeah. I like that. That's a good transition. So I did that first And then Went to work, Wrapped it up. Send it back to Amazon. So question. So do you need just like one bottoming experience to be? A verse top. Yeah. Right? Or would you continue to use it? I feel like you need to be a practicing verse to be. Right? A verse. Like once a quarter to keep your membership. I count, motherfucker.

But no, I don't know. I say top. Because that can't be a verse top. because then if a motherfucker say, now it's your turn, I'm like, what the fuck? You have the cobwebs. I wasn't expecting this. Right, okay. Some verse. But yeah, like, but I do not shop Amazon for my sex stores. I go local Long Beach. Yeah. Broadway. Oh, I love that one too. That's meant to go sex shop. Which one? The one on Broadway. Romantics? No, no, no, no. Oh, there's another one? Is it called Romantics?

Yeah, the one right next to the bar? By the bar? Oh, okay. I was thinking about the one that's further down on Redondo. What is that one called? I feel like it's like I thought it was Romantics, but maybe I'm... The one that's like by itself? Yeah. Like, and it's right before like that. The freeway? It's a Redondo. No, no, no. Like, it's still downtown. I mean, like... Isn't it still Broadway? Yeah. You know what? They might have closed.

There was one there like, in that little like far, far down. That's where I used to go get everything. My lube, my poppers, my condoms. You're a video cleaner. My video cleaner. None the more. Yeah, I was just going to say...

Was good to use but what is your what did you use the last time you oh i also bought acting like i don't like i'm like oh okay no i'm like so this is what you don't know anything or like i haven't used anything well i actually bought something new to me more recently was i had bought this it's called what is it called it's called a good chastity thingy oh like the chastity lock yeah the one that you put like on your it's like a, cock cage so basically.

You put your like your ball sack through this like hard loop it's very hard, it's like painful it was very painful actually the one that I bought, was this like I don't know what kind of plastic it was but it's like a black plastic it wasn't like a metal one Because I was actually too scared to get the metal one. Because I was scared that the metal was going to hurt more than the plastic. Because you felt plastic had more wiggle. I guess. Maybe it would, like, I don't know. Be a little flexible.

Right. Not hard metal against your skin. But, which I guess for some people they like that. But I'm a little pansy. So anyways. So it's like this black plastic apparatus. And you put your ball sack through it. So it basically like, and then you hook on this other piece on your flaccid penis. So then you get this lock or this key, and then you lock it in place. So basically this thing is like, it's almost like a cock ring is like around your balls.

And then the other part is on top and then it locks it together. Oh, so it's not a one piece. No, it's like a two. I've seen those. You got to assemble this motherfucker. Yeah. It's like Transformers. So then it's like one like knob but i got it because i thought it looked cool.

What was the purpose for get it so i got it to surprise my fiance with okay and because i know that because we had talked about like getting one before like back in like our early stages but like we just never did oh okay and so then i was like oh and then i just like was like thinking about it and i was like oh that would be fun just like bust it out like randomly without even telling him like i'm gonna just get it yeah and then

he can just find it on me oh yeah so then basically i put it on well actually this was a process because he didn't find it the first time. So basically the first time i put it on actually hurt myself really bad because like so So...

I'm not trying to say i have a big wing or anything i'm just saying that the biggest one that they had available was still like small and so the thing like rips really tight around your balls and so like i didn't realize that so like any kind of movement you make it's like you are like inches away from like whipping your balls and like choking your balls out oh my god And, like, feeling, like, ah.

So I'm sitting on the, so I, like, put it on, right? Because, like, I'm expecting, you know, that something's going to happen that night. So I put it on. And then, anyway, so I'm, like, sitting on the couch with it on. And I have to, like, hobble over to the couch. Because it's, like, already, like, hurting you. And then, so I'm, like, sitting in, like, the most, like, awkward position. Also trying to, like, look normal.

Like, it's so stupid. because i was just trying to spring it on him but then anyway something happened where like i had to get up suddenly and all of a sudden i was like wrenched my balls really badly and i was like, and i like locked out and i was like uh and like he's like what the fuck is going on over there and i'm just like oh i just i'm really sore like or something i just like made up some reason why like I heard. Oh, okay. And then... Not that I just slashed open my neck sack. Exactly.

I almost cut my balls off. So then I was like, you know what? Fuck this. And I actually, like, I just, like, went to the bathroom. I took it off. And I was like, I'm not playing this game right now. I'm not doing this anymore. I was like, fuck this. So then I was like, no. And then I was like, and then I kind of got mad at it. And I was like, I'm not doing that ever again. But then I still wanted to try it. So then I was like, fine. I'll try it again once more.

And then, so I put it on. And, oh, my God. Again, so stupid. So I put it on.

Knowing that i'm gonna get laid and so basically we are getting into bed and then i like go to the bathroom real quick and i put it on and then i like hobble over to the bed very sexy and then i get into bed and so like i have all my clothes on still so he can't see that i have okay and then all of a sudden he's like like the fucking dog just starts going all crazy and then he's like can you go can you go get the dog can you go take the dog outside i was like

oh my fucking god are you fucking kidding me it's like a fucking joke so then i have to head out of bed like so stupidly and i'm like sliding out of bed all dumb and like hobbling out pissed the fuck off that now that i I was like, no, I don't want to get the fucking dog. Right. Shut your little something, you're going to wait till the morning. And then I have to walk the dog outside while I'm trying to hobble with this thing. And she's also jerking me around.

And I'm like, you fucking bitch. You're going to fucking rip your head off. Finally, I get back to the bed. Get in there. He starts touching me. He starts pulling his pants down or putting his hands down to my pants.

And he feels the thing and he's like what what is this and then he's like extremely excited and then he like like rips my pants off to see like what it is and he's like what and he's just kind of like taking it back and he's like how did you how did you get this and like what but he was like really into it and so it paid off and he's like well how do we like then so like i showed him the key and I was like here you open like this and I showed him the whole thing. And then he kept the key,

I kept it in a, I just put it in a, in a, what is it? Like a jar? I don't know. It's like this like owl shaped mug that we have. And it's like right by, it's like right in like the center of the, of the room basically. So I can access it to put it on and then he can also access it again. Okay. Okay. But it paid off. Was it expensive? I feel like there was type of. No, I think I can't, it couldn't have been more than $30.

I want to say it had to be like 20 bucks if anything, but yeah it was cool and I used it again and it was funny because the next time that we messed around he immediately went to check for it to see if I was wearing it, and I wasn't and I was like lol bitch you wanted more yeah. So then I did have it on a second time which he also enjoyed thoroughly but, it's like a lot to like, one, put it on because you have to know. But also, I'm not just gonna be waiting around with this thing,

wrenching my balls every second. Oh, okay. So it's like, I have to know that I'm in the zone. Bigger size. And then it's also like, I have to pull it out and put it on. So it's like, you ain't got to. I don't have to. You choose to. Because I feel there are people who wear it like consistently, right? Like throughout their day.

They do. Maybe I want to try to get the other one Like the metal one Maybe that one does not wrench your ball sack Because That is not part of my kink Putting my balls in a vice grip. But have you and your fiancé Went about toys together?

We went to We actually went to the pleasure chest together Oh okay Old school with me um yeah because it was actually we went there like early on in our relationship, i was like let's go to the pleasure chest and then so we went and we made the trek out there because actually i feel like that's my favorite actually sex store i think just because it's like all like extra oh okay they have like a lot of stuff i feel like what i don't know if i've

ever I've seen a pleasure touch. Yeah, me either. No? Mm-mm. It's the one, it's on Santa Monica Boulevard, and it is, I want to say it has like a big like... Is it the one in WeHo? Yeah. Oh. I was thinking Long Beach. Right, me too. But I also didn't know that was what it was called. Like that's on the main by the bars and shit? I want to say it's like halfway to the bars. I want to say it's like more closer to... Halfway between Target and oh okay you talking about all the way down there?

Yeah yeah over there by Hammergameries closer over there yeah but maybe even further down like more like between I don't know where the fuck it is Crescent Heights. Oh okay but it's really big and they have a lot of crazy stuff.

I like that place where else do you like what's the last sex toy that you encountered doctor the last one was a prostate massager oh yeah so i got a prostate massager i tried a few different ones but the one i really like was like this brand called the narrows and so it's it's shaped differently than a lot of like prostate massager so there's like you insert it but it's not like a big dildo or anything like that it's just like enough to kind of like it's kind of like

a thick finger um it's hard to explain but yeah it curves in and then yeah and then there's like a bowl beneath it and that's where the prostate is supposed to sit on it and then it has this thing that sticks out and it like rubs your taint gives like your taint a little massage too okay did it work for you two for one yeah a little two for one i mean i i feel like i use that to kind of like understand my body and understand my prostate better so i can like can you use it can you make

yourself can you make yourself come from that alone yeah oh yeah when i have anal sex yeah it's one of my special skills okay but from the prostate massager alone yeah i could do it from the prostate massager. Too i had one before because like i bought one like a long time ago but it was like this like. That was like a nub on like a long stick. And it was like, but it was like hard plastic. It wasn't like, yeah. Oh yeah. Mine was hard plastic too. That's the one that I like.

Cause I have one that was, that's also like with silicone cover, but I don't like that because you could only use waterproof loop. And I don't think that's great for anal play. Yeah. You, you need like silicone or like oil based depending on like what you're doing.

Oh wait does that deteriorate it yeah it deteriorates it oh I'm probably doing that probably you shouldn't use them you shouldn't use you can't use silicone lube with silicone toys, it's water based only with silicone toys water based only, lame because if you use silicone it's going to deteriorate the toy and then does it deteriorate inside of my body or is it just to keep the toy nice well i i had i had a dildo that got exposed to silicone.

Lube and what happened was starting to happen to the dildo was it started to get like i can't think of any better word than like manchas where it kind of like was clumping and it looked like it was yeah and gummy and it just felt kind of sticky it just felt really weird and i and i couldn't I can't imagine inserting it into myself because it's just going to create more friction. And what was that going to do? I think that can cause harm, probably. Yeah, probably. Yeah. Interesting.

Yeah, yeah. Ew. Oh my God, I had this... Never mind. I had this fleshlight. Don't get one. I'm gonna make my own. I'll see you can do... DIY. A flashlight. A Pringle can. I was like, it was... When was this year? I don't know what year it was. It had to be like, I don't know, 2010 or something. Whatever year Charlie St. Cloud was on my mind. And I was like on a no-men brigade. And I was like, I'm... Fuck dudes.

I was like, I don't want to date anybody. I don't want to even fuck a guy. I was like, fuck guys. And so I was like, I want to buy myself a fucking bunch of sex toys and just watch porn. And I'm going to do me. Fuck that. And I'll watch Charlie St. Cloud on repeat. And that's going to be my romance. Fuck y'all. Goodbye. Goodbye, world. And then so I bought a flashlight. And I bought a really expensive one, too, just to make it worth official.

And it was like $99 and it was like top of the line and it looked really sleek and nice and, it was amazing and it had like multiple like fast and slow settings. Also it was not like one of the most good ones. No and it was like this motherfucker move on his battery operation. You gotta charge that bitch. Oh shit okay. And it was like up and down and round and round. And like It had, like, these, like, I don't know how to describe it, like, silicone suction or, like.

There was like a little feelers. Yeah, little feelers. Little phalanges. Yeah. It was like a bacterial type of thing. Like an inside out bacterium. And then, you know, it was just like slobbing on your knob. And so you just had the porn screen up. And then I had a little VCR cleaner with me. And I just went to town. And it was like, I was living life like it was golden. Clean that VCR good.

Clean up that VCR. and then it was amazing but then because like the little what does it call it sleeve it was like clear but then it turned this disgusting like yellowish color over time but i was actually adamant on cleaning it like because i did not want that shit to get gross yeah so i was really adamant on cleaning it immediately too so it still like turned this like gross color and then i don't even know what but i don't think that

i ever left it like gross right and then one day i just like got it and then i like smelled it for i don't know why i smelled it for some reason, but don't ever do that and then i almost like vomited and then i like threw the entire thing away and it was scarred for life because it was just so foul smelling how'd you let it dry i. Probably just like yep there you go that's probably number one probably on the box of don't do,

I mean I wasn't trying to like have it on display I still lived with my family at the time tell it down girl I did I was cleaning it properly you probably was like, so it was a horror story oh no but it was great Get one. $99. Any other... I'm trying to see... Like, I don't... So...

Want to buy more sex toys i should buy more sex toys then huh yeah explore i've tried double-sided dildo oh yeah yeah it's very interesting i don't know i don't know if it's for me just because like i don't know i get scared or in my head i'm like what if this thing just gets like lodged all the way up in me and it gets stuck there because you hear shit like that um yeah right the suction, so I don't know I tried it but it was just too much in my head with it,

I had one and like every time I ever busted it out with a guy like they never wanted to use it they always like they always are like what a double sided ditto? They're always like who did you use this with? And I'm like no one because nobody ever agrees to use it with me also what do you think about this dick like the same thing same concept right.

This has been with less people it's so dumb like just wash it off, I'm fucking bored but yeah nobody ever wants to use it that's funny everyone's scares don't get stuck in their booty that's why I guess so it's so funny because like I showed my friends when I got it.

And they were like what the fuck they were like shook but do y'all cause I feel like I use sometimes when I hook up with motherfuckers i use their sex toys on them i mean which you're supposed to do right you know what i'm saying yeah yeah i know a lot of people get weirded out by sex toys i feel like people do get weirded out by sex toys it's probably because it's like so it's just like an actual penis right in front of you yeah yeah yeah because i mean yeah like to see a

penis in like the in the raw in like the wild the wow that's wow bro if you're not primed to be like having sex like say you're just walking the street and some dude shows you his dick it's kind of like whoa usually it'd be like taking it back probably taking it back home taking it back so i think like maybe seeing the object is like also like the same it's like we're so like stigmatized against penises or or like.

Genitals yeah that like even seeing an object of one is like still has that same shock value a little bit and then like to even like touch it right to even grab onto the dildo feel i feel like that to even go into a sex shop for some people and to even like be able to look at the dildo section without without feeling any type of way like i feel like that takes like a special kind of person sometimes i know get your ass in here see if they got some dick straws.

It's like start here they do be having some good shit though they do be having some good shit like if you got like you know like for birthdays or like a gift like a wacky not a wacky gift but a, Fun, explore your body and sexuality type games, in a sense. I feel like there must be like Spencers. Yeah. Like, almost like that type of thing. Yeah, Spencer vibes. But more, you know, they gotta put that shit in the Spencer's. I mean, Spencer's sell dildos, didn't they? I feel like they did.

Yeah, they had a little sex shop. They saw some like weird like sex paraphernalia yeah I know they had a section in the back you never go in the back but it was also like they had like stuff that was like jokey sex oriented too yeah that's true so it was like kind of confusing like what the it was like Bachelorette yeah type of vibe right they sent mixed signals on like what sex was right is it a joke or was it fun,

or is it terrifying or is it in the back and you can't look at it What is going on? Weird. I mean, I think sex toys are cool. I think I just prefer a person, a real penis. Oh, definitely. Yeah. What about nipple paraphernalia? They clamp too hard. Right. What have you used? My body is so sad. I don't know the brand, but they were kind of like clamps. Someone gave it to me as probably a gift. Was it metal or plastic? I think it was plastic.

Like, I remember I tried it, and I didn't even go, like, full, where I just, like, snapped it on. I'm just like, I'm going to lightly let go. And I'm like, nope, not for me. Not for me. They hurt. You? Nothing. No. Hell no. I've used a whole bunch of things. So, what have I used? I remember I went to this one. I already explained this hookup before, but.

This group thing and then this guy's had a couple different nipple apparatuses he had like this, they're like these metal clamps with like these plastic pads on the end so they don't rip you off yeah yeah and then they were like attached to like like a metal like necklace almost chain and so like you had like put them on but like those hurt because they were like a lot of pressure i'm like i get it you print pain and pleasure no this hurts and this hurts in a distractingly bad

way yeah and the person that is getting done to has to like it right yeah like but then he also had like these like electrode ones that they were like i don't even remember how they went on but they were like they would send you like an electric volt and i was like thinking like i was like oh that's cool like there was this guy from hollywood i was like that's cool but no also like this is a lot there's a lot to be doing and then i've also had like

the nipple suckers um which are fun and then i've also had these like big gigantic nipple ones that like you like put on and they like twist, but those are just like painful and they just really don't do anything for me, and then what else is there in the world. I think that's it as far as like nipple toy yeah.

Ever use like I guess you want to consider this a toy but isn't like a nipple piercing a toy per se because don't you stimulate yourself, when it's on you I don't have one but I was like I would feel like you don't have any I guess that's jewelry yeah, but it can be classified as a toy, maybe would you ever get a dick piercing no mm-mm yeah I wouldn't get that either no Like with the fucking dragon tail. So like, did he have like monster tails or some shit? Using them as dildos?

Oh my God, my girlfriend keeps showing me that. And like you insert like eggs into like, there's like plastic like dinosaur or like dragon eggs that you like insert into the vagina through the dildo. No. That's something different. What? What are you talking about? I'm just, I don't know what it was. This is just like a dildo, like, a tail, say that a dragon had a tail.

And it's about the width of my arm. It's going to be a suction at the bottom of that on the floor or on the table or wherever you want to put it. And you sit on it like a dildo. Like the dragon dildos. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. No, no, no. Not their genitalia, their tail. It's their tail, not their genitalia. I've seen that people are instead of getting like octopus tentacles. Oh, I've seen that. Yeah, like something like that. But I thought that was a dragon tail.

If you're into octopus play. It could be that shit. We probably talk about the same one. Octopussy for real. Yeah. I see the big dildos they have at sex shops. And I'm like, kudos to whoever can take that. That takes work. You deserve it. When I see those, I just kind of feel like I immediately have this weird, sad feeling for whoever bought that. And I'm just like, damn, whatever happened to you that you bought?

You kink-shaming. Just like, dang, you bought it. But nobody even bought it because it's still on the shelf. They said, we keep those motherfuckers stocked. Be surprised. I have no idea how many of those we sell. My heart. You know what I've seen also? It's not so much a sex toy, but...

Whatever it's i've seen lubricant with thc in it oh yeah yeah i saw that dispensary and i'm like does that actually work that sounds like a waste right of money but also i know you can put beer up your butt and get drunk i also feel like if you are buying thc, THC? Mm-hmm. Lube. Not CBD? Not CBD. THC? If you're buying CBD lube, like, you're probably already smoking weed. So, can you even tell, like... If you're gonna feel it or not? Yeah, can you tell? I was like, I don't know.

I did buy a CBD one, but I was like, I don't think you feel anything. It's almost like if you rub it on your elbow, like, if you know how to use ointment. Yeah. With CBD. Mm-hmm. With your grandpa. Right.

But yeah other than that i don't see how it would dr mikey buy some what i'm investigating, i feel like that would work better for the bottom than yeah definitely it's definitely for the the stoner bottom unless it helps with like keeping you hard and shit have you ever you You put sativa on it. I'm ready. I'm ready. Getting all prepared. Have you ever used those flavored lubes? No. I used one and it was like gross. Yeah. I don't like the smell of them. So definitely didn't want it.

I bought one, but I've never used it. It was like super. Because it's peppermint. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, that's spicy. I got a strawberry one. Oh. It was like super sticky. and it's like it's super artificial tasting and it's like I'd rather just taste dick I don't want to taste this ruins the fun kind of but also like. I really don't like lube in my mouth. Right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't want to fucking taste this shit. Has anyone ever used a sex doll or sex robot or sex doll?

What do you call it? Blow-up doll. Oh, blow-up doll? No. Have you ever seen anything like that? I haven't seen one in person. Yeah, I've only seen one on TV. Right. I can't remember if I actually seen somebody having one of those fake plastic asses before.

Oh yeah like the little just and it's just the ass yeah oh yeah yeah yeah i can't remember if that's actual memory that i've seen a guy have that in his place before or not or if that's something i've seen in a porno because i'm like do people really be buying this shit but i guess so people do i imagine that would be pricey too right also that's a big amount of space that you to dedicate to high stowing it away. Right.

Well, maybe they don't have to stow it away. Maybe, right. I feel like if you buy that, you probably, I would hope, maybe you don't have roommates to live alone or... The wall decoration. Right. It's hidden in a tan upon it. Oh my God, that would be sick. You have like a row of them on the wall. Yeah. That would be great. Yeah, those, like, I remember when I would see, like, because they also used to use, like, blow-up dolls as, like, a joke all the time.

Like, straight culture uses that as a joke. Yeah. And I always was always, like, when I saw that, I would be, like, grossed out or, like, sussed out. And being, like, is that what you get off to? That big, ugly face? And it's, like, I guess that's what a woman looks like.

I feel for me it's like this is what you like it's it's like a non-responsive, being you know like unconscious but also it's like why did you need to go so far as to draw like a fake image of a person it's like you could have just like fucked the couch like, like a normal person like a normal person I used Fuck Fuck, right between the couch seats, does the couch count as a sexy toy. I'll furniture I'll furniture your towels with sex toys okay oh shit as a couch of sex toy. I made my own before.

You know they had like that Kona Willy? I've done that before. No, what is a Kona Willy? Kona Willy. You basically just take a... Kona Willy. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I've seen that. You take a mold of your dick as a sex toy. Yeah, you got to read the instructions properly. Oh, explain your experience. I mean, so like I was doing it and shit. So I read the instructions. I was doing it for a gift.

And then I was reading the instructions and it was like, it basically tells you like, you know, you have to mold the substance. And so then while that's doing that, you need to get yourself aroused. And preferably, I think they say like use like, what is that shit called? Cock ring. And at the time I didn't have a cock ring. So I was like, man, I don't need no fucking cock ring.

And so then like I got hard and shit and then like I put it in the tube and so then I was just like, oh like did I start like doing shit around the kitchen I'm like damn dick gets off so it was just like it was like it didn't work properly so I was like god damn Mona Lisa smile I should have been right do you guys like hawk rings I don't I don't I don't get it for me, I mean some people It helps with like maintaining their erection Yeah,

But also this shit hurt Yeah they hurt Definitely It's a lot of work I'll focus on the pain like Oh my god not me acting like I don't know any new sex toys So I kept seeing this one. Like on basically being sold around Instagram. It's one, it's a, this one on adamandeve.com is not paid advertisement. It's called the Ask Station Remote Thrusting Power Plug. Look at this. So basically it wraps around like your dick. Ain't that what you get? No. No, that's not what I have.

But that's to simulate your prostate while you're probably like topping, right? Yeah. So, like, basically it wraps around your ball sack like a cock ring, but it turns around and goes in your butt and it's, like, a vibrating pulsating. So, it's almost, like, fucking you. Okay. But it's, like, kept on you. So, it's, like, basically a self-efficient model where it's just on you. Oh, okay. It's just fucking you. Automatic.

And it has a role control. so basically like you put it on and you put it up your ass and you don't even have to touch it anymore and it's just like fucking you and it's like a machine is fucking you almost but i bought it and it was great and it was fan fucking testing and i was like holy shit this is this is modern technology but the only problem with it was is that it like immediately stopped working and like the way that you charged it was like a really weird charger

which it had like two little dots that you had to line up and it like would immediately fall off it was like some made in china kind of bullshit and. Like, it just stopped. It just wouldn't charge anymore. After, like, I think it only got, like, five uses out of it. And then it stopped working. Oh, it wasn't battery operated? No, you had to charge it. Oh, that's crazy. Mm-hmm. You okay? Yeah. I thought somebody said that. See, this is the one that I had.

Oh, interesting. That looks like a sword. Oh, okay. So it's, okay. But that's not battery? No. It's self-stimulating. What does that mean? I mean, you just have to assimilate yourself. Do the work, girl. Yeah. What else is there? Dang. And those are actually recent sex toys, too. That's like stuff that I bought in like the last year or two. Me acting like sex toys are extinct. What else is there? Fucking anime.

If you guys want to send us some sex toys, feel free to do so oh anal beads have you tried anal beads no they look like they hurt no I've tried anal beads they actually don't hurt yeah because it's, like the I don't know it's just like smooth right like yeah but like it's very it's interesting sensation like to get in but especially coming out because it's like oh then the plop, you know it keeps going like that but it's a It's a very...

I liked it. It was fun. What is, like, the point of, like, having the space in between the ball? Because the clack, clack, clack part is, like, what is, like, detouring me. I'm like, why is it, like, clack? Oh. I don't want to have. No? I don't know what the point is, but I know, like, I think it's still kind of, like, because when you do it, you can pull it out slowly, and it takes, you can, like, just stretch your things.

What's that sphinxer muscle your butthole and it kind of helps with the stretch then it kind of clamps down yeah i remember seeing a guy like have it in and he was using it and i just was like i don't want that and i think i don't know if i did use it or not and i've okay is it all coming back to me maybe it maybe i did use it and i remember it hurting and not liking it or maybe that I just made that all up. But if I do remember... Or maybe you just need to allow yourself to enjoy it.

Because it's also, you gotta also be comfortable within yourself to use sex toys on yourself. You know what I'm saying? I'm not a sex therapist, but I know you gotta be comfortable with doing so. Have you ever used like a penis pump? Do those even work? I have no idea. It seems like Austin Powers bullshit. Well, the science backs it up, but it's not gonna get like very big. Kylie Jenner living on that one. Nice little plump. Nice little fluff as they say. Fluff away.

Yeah, I just seen like a bunch of weird looking cock rings. Oh, yeah. Oh, octopus, monstropus, tentacle dildo. Yeah. But also, what are your thoughts on these like penis extenders? Have you seen them? Have you heard of them? I've heard of it from a straight friend that one of the guys that she used to date had a dick extension. And she didn't even fucking know. I don't know. Why? Because, you know, he would always want to have sex in the

night and at dark and this, that, and the other. And I was like, oh, shit. But it's like, it wasn't like, it was just like a little bit, but still, nonetheless. Was she not investigating enough? Right. I feel like I could feel that in my hand. But no, but I think, I think he'll, after, like, probably oral, he'll probably, like, hurry up and put it on and, like, try to please her and shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Might as well tell her at that point. I mean, she's seen it.

I ain't changed it. Dick fish. Dick me down, dude. Fuck it. I also wanted to buy one of those and just experiment with it and pull it out on my boyfriend randomly. Hey, I mean, you did. And be like, look at my gigantic dick for no reason. One day you just pull down my pants and a gigantic dick whips out. Imagine. What? I'm like, who is this? It grew 10 sizes overnight. I didn't get it. I think I was trying to get one. I just don't want to get one that's like, I don't know. I wonder what material

they're made out of. Exactly. Because I've had like a dildo that was like hard plastic and I've had like silicone and I definitely prefer silicone because I just feel hard plastic- doesn't have to give definitely yeah you know it's like this is what you you got to fit around it and the other way around but then i was like thinking like you know how they had like this like massive thing about like oh your black kitchen utensils are definitely killing the fuck out of you oh i heard about that

so it's like what was my black sex toys also most definitely probably microplasting up into my ass especially after that silicone lube on it i mean that's definitely happening isn't it yeah as it as i'm literally huffing vcr, I'm worried about the fucking microplastics. Priorities. Priorities. Solution. Just keep huffing the beach as cleaner. And you'll forget about the microplastics. But yeah, we probably should stop buying dyed things, huh?

Especially toys. Right. But why the government ain't coming after sex toys? Y'all coming after poppers. why the government ain't coming after a lot of chemicals you know what let me not give them no motherfucking ideas you know the water in Flint, Michigan, why don't you do a all the guns killing kids this is we'd snag it off to a tangent.

Any other sex toys any other sexy thoughts go explore go try things be open to sex toys yeah and, yeah do your research too because these sheets are expensive uh that part, but you'll have fun do your own research ask questions, I feel like the person who is open to sex toys and the person who is open to the sex shop are a blessed folk thank you that's all I'm saying, and you should have a yeah because I feel like people who are open to sex toys

are sex positive people I just feel like that they always are because I feel like to have like enough balls to quote unquote balls to buy, something that is so seen as like I don't know taboo right, means something I was introduced to sex toys very young because my well not very young but like I was like a freshman I was like a freshman in college like four years old, thank you Dr. Doozy how well. Yeah, but my aunt used to like throw on like sex, not sex parties, but like... Sex toy parties.

Sex toy parties. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've heard of those, like Tupperware parties. Right, right, right, right. So that's when I first came to know sex toys. But then at that fucking young age of 21, I won't really... Sex toys is for people who need, I guess like in that mindset of like, oh, like they need help in the bedroom.

But in reality, it is... for the bedroom you know what i'm saying like it's there to improve and assist and guide you to your sexual sensation yeah i feel like early on i was more introduced to the idea of sex toys through women because obviously women have majority of the dildos and so that's how i learned about it And I remember learning, I remember watching that movie, The Slums of Beverly Hills, and she had this scene with a dildo.

It was like her masturbation scene. And they were like dancing with the dildo. And I remember that being like a really funny and like big deal scene because it was like one of those coming of age scenes.

And the idea of like discovering masturbation, I guess, and using the dildo to do that for, i guess i guess for a girl i don't know where am i going with this i don't know that's when i remembered like sex toys but i would definitely say like i started to explore sex toys once i got in a relationship so i agree with that it's an aid and and like it's a far something to like add you know yeah that dick i sometimes i'll see like porno and like i'll see like a guy and he's like has

a dildo and he's like giving a blowjob to the dildo and i'm like what do you guys think of that this practice makes perfect i mean it's porn but i'm just like that doesn't taste good, are you really getting are you getting off to that are you trying to make me get up to it because you're acting like you're getting off to it but i don't imagine me getting off to sucking on a dildo have you guys ever sucked on a dildo like it was a like you're giving it a blowjob no right

No, but there are sides out there, maybe. I mean, right. Side's got to get the URL fixed somehow, girl. Or training. Oh, yeah, training. I told you this is a guide. You don't want to go there and choke on a big dick and throw up. Like, now you embarrassed. So you practice. Has anybody ever choked on your dick? Yes. Yes. For my amusement. One time, this guy, like, choked on my dick, literally, and, like, threw up. But I was, like, face-fucking him really hard. Oh, I'm seeing.

And then he was, like, upset. And then he was, like, you can leave. Well, because did he tell you to stop and you didn't? Or why was he upset? I mean, I did. He was just, like, he threw up and he was, like, over it, I guess. I mean, also sexy. Yeah. a little killer there's chunks I'll I was like just wash it.

I'll take that out I can wait I'll take that out I'll take that out on my way out thank you any other sex toy thoughts any other sex toy things I don't have any Degos mm-mm, well everybody from all of us here at the sex toy network The Queer OBC. Long Beach, how you doing? Are you okay, Long Beach? What's the latest Long Beach? Is there any Long Beach? You know what? Did y'all see that they, Brit opened up there. Well, the old Brit new place is coming up.

And I guess there's a lot of stuff going around because it's called Man's Room. So like a lot of people don't feel like that's very good wording to be using in this climate because people want to feel safe and welcome and in a in a gay space on broadway but when you call it man's room it's already like you know people are saying it's already difficult for women or and the lesbians to feel safe going to the gay bars and especially when you call it the man because they don't identify as man like

so am I not welcome? You know, like that type of thing. So that back and forth has been going on online. But... They didn't say like when it was supposed to open up though. I also think about the idea of like, are like trans men going to feel included? Because obviously they're men, but like, I feel when you're that like man's room, it feels very like patriarchal, feels very like. Yeah, exactly. Man only. See, but like also, I don't know if it's like labeled, but I'm gonna see if

I can show y'all. Because it's basically the, you know how the Brit used to have, like, the Brit on the marquee? Yeah, yeah, yeah. This doesn't. It's just a symbol. Mm-hmm. But that's the location at the old Brit bar? The old Brit, yeah. They're rebranding it? It's a whole new space. Because in the daytime, it's going to be a coffee shop. And then at nighttime, it's going to be a bar.

Yeah that's a bad name for a coffee shop men's room right you know what I'm saying they should have just kept it as the Brit and just like redone it in a better Brit version, but people still have that mentality of like I'm didn't fuck with the Brit when it was here so why would I go back you know why was it bad I don't know anything some people know just you know when you go to different places you have an experience

and you just be like you know what I'm on I don't want to fuck with it no more, for the new ownership sign, is that the point so this is the place that has that that new sign and it's just like a logo it's like a looks like a men's room sign of a man with like the rainbow behind it yeah oh i also thought that was kind of like oh yeah and an unfortunate looking graphic yeah i was not a fan of the graphic to be honest oh see so so technically it

don't like on that it don't say that but i don't know if it's going to be like on the, above the door on the building itself but that's a big ass sign that's already very like feels very exclusive, you know not oh I see what you're saying about a, man sign yeah it's just like man I mean I get it they're like gay men only but it's also like that yeah you're also saying oh I see what you're saying I see what y'all saying what about the lesbians. Like the others aren't Yeah, that's about it.

I don't know what else is going on in there. Who? Prelimed. But we'll see if anything changes. Because I don't know if it, they don't even really have an open date or anything like that. Canceled. Canceled before it opens. Any other Long Beach news? Nope. All right then. From all of us here at the Queer LBC, I'd like to say thank you to our sound editor and engineer, Chelo Azul.
