"An imperfect market".....

....is the term that economists might well use when  describing either the collection of men looking for sexual contact with other men at a secluded area of your local public park or the men & women seeking each other on your local Craigslist. I see that on Investopedia it's defined as "A market where information is not quickly disclosed to all participants in it and where the matching of buyers and sellers isn't immediate."
I was discussing this with a friend today, using the example of the men sitting in their cars on the west aisle of the Boundary Road parking lot at Central Park. (It's the rainy season, so almost no-one is venturing onto the trails of the wooded areas).
Not only do they not seem to appreciate that no-one can see through the glare of their rolled up car windows. but there's really no mechanism to indicate what they're interested in. In my case, it's older uncircumcised otherwise straight men who are interested in getting sucked off. I'll admit that's a rather small sub-group, which is difficult to find....but perhaps that's why the "imperfect market" analysis springs to mind.
I suppose it could be addressed through the use of indicators, such as coloured decals placed disceetly on the right, middle or left of the car dash, but that begs the question of how such a code would be disseminated.

Any thoughts/suggestions?

More on "Toilet Sex in Hong Kong - not" & "Protocol at the Urinals"?

I see from the stats that these are by far & away my most two popular posts.
No-one has commented or rated either one, so I'm not sure why. But if anyone would like more on either topic, let me know.

Totally off the mark replies - and more

On an ongoing basis I keep ads on Craigslist, in my case seeking Asian women and older uncut Asian men.

Even though my ad for men says I'm only looking for Asian men over 55 who are uncut & otherwise straight, the overwhelming majority of responses I get are from openly gay circumcised Caucasian men in their 20s. What gives?
A friend of mine says it's because these people send out replies to almost every ad, presumably in the (vain) hope that the person posting the ad will actually be interested in quite the opposite of what they're ostensibly seeking. Possible, I suppose.

The replies to my ads for women fit into totally different categories. Firstly, there's the standard three or four from prostitutes. Then there's a predictable few from Caucasian women who write to advise me that I'll rot in hell - presumably because I note in my ad that I'm "partially attached".

I did have an interesting one from a Filipino woman a month or so ago. Interesting in that she didn't ask me what "partially attached" meant - and almost every woman does. She seemed like a nice person....and I was interested. So I said that I didn't want any misunderstanding to develop & I was concerned that she hadn't asked. And her reply was "my intention is boyfriend and girlfriend relationship only no more than that". So I met her. She was slightly plumper than I was hoping for, but she was clearly interested. So two nights later I took her out to dinner & then back to my place. She was terribly horny. She squealed like a stuffed pig and came rather quickly. All that was fine, but she then became very "needy", writing to me twice a day - and that's something I just wasn't willing to deal with.
So I'm out looking again.

Accepting who you are

I'm not sure that's exactly the right title for my thought, but I commented a short time back that a number of men want to pretend that they're "there for some other reason".
Certainly if one's safety is at risk, I can understand that. But as I was reflecting on why that might be, it occurred to me that some of them may not be entirely comfortable with who they are....or something along that line. As you will have gathered from my earlier posts (& photos), my emotional & romantic responses are totally heterosexual, but I've been sucking cocks most of my life.....and I'm comfortable with that - & who I am.

Travel thoughts/advice

In an earlier post I had bemoaned the fact that there's no travel advice available that's really targeted at the non-gay traveller (e.g. the otherwise straight solitary cocksucker who seeks his excitement in dimly lit public washrooms...i.e. people like me).......and no readers have volunteered anything further. So I thought maybe I should offer a bit of my own.
A daunting task really.
I've been to so many places (about 50 countries at last count), some worthwhile, most not - at least for the sort of activity I get up to that is.........cultural, gastronomic, scenic & historical attractions notwithstanding.
If any of you out there are planning on travelling, drop me a note as to where you're going & I'll offer up whatever I know. Almost all of my experience has been in countries where the men are uncut, but I've travelled a lot elsewhere and have some experience in seeking out the uncut sub-groups (e.g. the Mexicans in Southern California).

Pretending you're here for another reason

This is kind of a corollary to my "Nobody Talks" posting.
There's a large percentage of the men hanging around obvious spots, whether it be the public washrooms in Eastern Europe or certain sections of public parks here, who pretend that they're there for some other reason. I'm not sure why that is. I mean we all know why we're there - and while I can appreciate not advertising it, avoiding all recognisance, even to the extent of polite conversation, does seem a little excessive. It's perhaps made more noticeable because some men will exchange comments on what's doing further down certain trails, how much action there was yesterday, the best days & times, etc., while others won't even respond to a polite "Good Day".
I'm not sure what's operating here....or why it continues to amaze or bother me.

Cocksucking miscellany - urge, taste of uncut cock, women, etc., etc.

Sometimes I have zero interest & at others it keeps me awake most of the night...planning a trip I've always wanted to take to Kiev, that sort of thing. I don't know why it comes & goes.

About the time I was moving back from Eastern Europe I did a mental calc. of how many I'd had over my life. Having started before puberty (no, I don't know why either) and it having been an on & off kind of thing, it was obviously quite a rough estimate.  Let's see, roughly 1.5 each Saturday & Sunday from 2000 to 2004, very rough estimates for all those preceding erratic years....and so on.
I was somewhat bemused when I toted it all up & it came to 888....and there's been a number since then, but again, erratic.

Somehow I ended up on some Q&A sites recently discussing - or at least asking about -  taste. It's difficult to give a definitive answer, especially since I only do uncut (& I'm quite conscious of health & hygiene), but in my experience it can vary from mild Gorgonzola to salty, but not much else. I think a lot depends on diet....but that's not a very scientific observation, as I usually don't have them fill out a questionnaire.

Have I ever had good blow job from a woman? Well, not nearly as good as I or another man can deliver. But then a woman doesn't have much to go on....and very few women are all that desirous for the experience in the first place. I did have an Argentinian/Hungarian ladyfriend a few years back who seemed insatiable after a few glasses of wine, but, like most women, she wasn't all that skilled. My friend HKG (there's photo of her in action somewhere here) is desirous, but she's a little hesitant to let herself go.
I can usually get off when cocksucking (& when pussy-licking), but I've never had a woman reach that height.

Does size matter? Yes, contrary to the popular image of what constitutes maleness, I think large is actually less satisfying. If I can't keep moist lips lightly pursed around it, I'm not all that effective - or interested. When it works well, they're hard as a rock & come in about a minute - and so do I.
Of course, the "rush" leading up to it is a really big factor for me - probably for them too.
