[ummmm]

We don't so why jump to conclusions?

[jackthehat]

I f you go back to the very start of the thread, you see that it is about TD having admitted to carrying out some 'sexual acts' on Webcam whilst on a break with Lance Black....

[jno]

I haven't heard that line since the 1960s, Togo.

[jackthehat]

I rather think that's where he's posting from, jno... :o)

[jno]

a lot of ABers are going to pop up on Bondi beach any minute now if they don't stop digging

[Togo]

//I haven't heard that line since the 1960s, Togo. //

But you can't remember who, or when I bet. ;-) Or where you were, because if you remember the 60s, you really were not there. 65 to 69 was 1 week as far as I'm concerned. (*_*)

Good to see that the majority of responders to this thread reject the idea that someone having online sex precludes them from being a fit father at some point in the future.

Tom made a silly mistake, but it's no where like as bad as the one that was made by Joel Dommett, who went on to appear in I'm A Celebrity.

Of course, Joel is straight so certain people won't criticise him in the same way that they do with gay people.

...because fundamentally - some people are hypocrites.

//Of course, Joel is straight so certain people won't criticise him in the same way that they do with gay people. //

Ohh but some people would sp, some people would indeed. Of course only to be cat called as judgmental in one scenario, or homophobic in the other. Neat trick from our luvvie liberals innit. Meeh.

[jno]

actually, I erred, Togo, it was 1970, in a Time magazine film review of The Boys in the Band: "The love that dare not speak its name is allowed to scream and shout..." I thought that was striking at the time; now I think it's nostalgia.

[Togo]

Wasted 2 hours and 18 minutes of jno's time for you all there. Haha worth a snigger,..... with Mr Naughty's approval.

Togo

No. I didn't explain myself properly.

Those who clamber up on their high horse proclaiming that online sex somehow precludes someone from being a decent parent tend top make such judgements about gay men, not straight men.

People who moralise about they gay site Grindr, stay silent about Tinder.

People who assign traits of promiscuity to gay men forget about Ashley Madison.

What they tend to do, is denounce gay men for sexual promiscuity when straight men would do exactly the same if they could.

Weirdly the same people rail against same sex marriage, where gay people want to settle down, whilst simultaneously denounce gay people as sexually promiscuous and incapable of long term commitment.

These people must be very good at rubbing their stomachs whilst patting their heads.

'Online Sex', forgive my ignorance but does that just mean talking about it via email or online chat?

[ummmm]

Web cam usually.

[EDDIE51]

You mean 'watch me w**** !

[Mamyalynne]

No, paper the bedroom wall.

[hc4361]

Is online sex cheating on your partner? Let's assume you never have contact with that person again so no relationship develops, is it any different to spending ten minutes with a porno film?
It's not the same as having sex in real life.

[jno]

sorry, Togo, I've been busy. It took all of five seconds to remember (I doubt it's online anywhere unless the magazine has digitised its archive)

[ummmm]

No...not the same but still completely unacceptable imo.

[douglas9401]

I seem to recall a time when the homosexual community referred to heterosexuals as 'breeders'.
How lucky we are to have moved on and to have been accepted by Sapphics and Friends Of Dorothy alike.
Prejudice can be soooooo limiting.

[jno]

it's cheating if you think it is, hc4361. "Does your partner know about it?" is probably the key question.
