Actually Jason, I think the number of boys that experiment with other boys of puberty age is quite high. From the friends I had, have talked to as adults and other people as well, I'd guess the number as high as 50-75%. And I don't see why that would be a surprize to anyone. I mean you take a kid in the onslaught of puberty, with hormones raging, and he's hearing all these stories of circle jerks, blowjobs and actual penetration, and how great all of that feels. He quickly determines that the girls of his age are not where he's going to be able to experience these feelings first hand. However, many of his male friends are looking for the same experiences, and males of that age are generally more likely to view casual sexplay in a more positive light. Once it's determined that your buddy is not going to spill the beans about your fun times, it's all but a forgone conclusion. It's much more a matter of availability than preference. And why many guys feel guilty or ashamed about those experiences later is hard for me to understand. Homosexuality is about a preference for same sex partners, not about same sex opportunities, so doubting ones own sexuality, or feeling shame about youthfull playtimes just seems silly to me. I had sex with girls at those times when having sex with guys didn't present itself. I don't beat myself up over that Oh, and I had a girl crush on Wynonna Ryder. But I didn't want to be her. Being gay in Texas is a challenge, at least in this part of Texas. I just think of it as a time out of sorts, and that can be a good way to re-think one's priorities. I'm sure I could meet a nice guy in Texas, but then that'd be something to tie me down to Texas, and that's not a consideration for me. Luckily for me I'm in no hurry. Oh, and be careful. Women can react badly when dating a guy prettier than them.

Mmmm. Assholes!

This thread is good in that it reminded me that we sometimes talk about headphones here.

You give good phone! Break a leg Jacob!

Enjoy it Steve!

That's not the muscle that's supposed to get pulled on your Birthday.

Happy Birthday Ryan! Do something fun!

Just catching up in this thread. Sad, sad news. Sorry Mike and Nate.

Yeah, I've offered him my F5, which is basically done, but will need a few small modifications for speakers (just has K1000 output now). Most likely he'll get the PASS integrated though, and have a one box solution. Source is another story all together. Craig, whenever I finally build my own house, I will build a large subwoofer enclosure under the floor or stairway, that will vent into the main listening room. Most likely not a horn, but a seriously large enclosure, with 18" drivers.

Sorry to hear that. I'll never understand why education isn't the last thing to be cut. Haven't we learned yet the damage that does?

He's building a girl, in his basement.

Solid state will work better with small children, and for me low power, well built, great sounding gear means PASS. Although I bet numb's recently sold M22 would also have been a great choice for amplification.

Well I guess it's on then. Let the sawdust fly!

It may be old school, and there's a lot of newer stuff out there, but I've been feeding my pets Science Diet for decades now (since '87), and I'm very happy with it still.

Ice cream helps everything Grahame, but I'm preaching to the choir.

It's not uncommon for memory loss in a guy your age Al.

Actually, the idea he has in mind sounds really promising to me. The thing is, you can't be absolutely certain how it'll work in a particular room until you try it, but my guess is it'll work great. Sorry for the clandestine posts, but I'm sure he'll let the cat out of the bag soon.

Nice.

I do this all the time, but I agree with you, and there are fewer dinosaurs like me every day.

If it weren't for this attitude I'd never get a date. But seriously, did you think about my idea to use 10' Sonotubes, and make "Home Edition" Bazookas?

Something like this?

Awesome post! Glad you didn't embarras him though.

I'm not sure I'd call it aggressive, but certainly not a layed back signature.

Have a great Birthday Nate! You're legal to drink now right?

Objection overruled!
