In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, the guys cap off the ending of Pride Month with a look to the future. Stonewall was approximately 50 years ago, so the cubs peer into their crystal balls to imagine what the world will be like in another 50 years. From the good, the bad and the ugly, listen as the guys share their predictions on the status of the GLBTQ+ community as they become bitter old men.
Show Topic
50 Years From Now
Some might say a lot has happened in the 50 years since the Stonewall Riots; others might say not enough. What if we attempt to shift our gaze into a crystal ball and forecast what may happen in the next 50 years to come?
In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, we are joined again by Daddy Hadrian to talk about current events in social media. Earlier last week, Tumblr decided to ban NSFW content as of December 17th and Facebook has changed its terms regarding “sexual expression”. The guys discuss how this impacts both themselves and the community at large.
Verizon owned Tumblr has announced they’re banning NSFW content starting Dec 17th. [Oath Inc. is a subsidiary of Verizon Communications that serves as the umbrella company of its digital content subdivisions, including AOL and Yahoo!. Verizon acquired AOL on June 23, 2015 and Yahoo!’s operating business on June 13, 2017. Within Oath, AOL and Yahoo! maintain their respective brands.]
What do we think of this policy/content change?
Does anyone know the numbers? As in, what %s of user accounts/posts are NSFW vs SFW.
As noted in Section 8 of our Community Standards (Sexual Exploitation of Adults), people use Facebook to discuss and draw attention to sexual violence and exploitation. We recognize the importance of and want to allow for this discussion. We draw the line, however, when content facilitates, encourages or coordinates sexual encounters between adults. We also restrict sexually explicit language that may lead to solicitation because some audiences within our global community may be sensitive to this type of content and it may impede the ability for people to connect with their friends and the broader community.
Do not post:
Content that attempts to coordinate or recruit for adult sexual activities including but not limited to:
Filmed sexual activities
Pornographic activities, strip club shows, live sex performances, erotic dances
Sexual, erotic, or tantric massages
Content that engages in explicit sexual solicitation by, including but not limited to the following, offering or asking for:
Sex or sexual partners
Sex chat or conversations
Nude images
Content that engages in implicit sexual solicitation, which can be identified by offering or asking to engage in a sexual act and/or acts identified by other suggestive elements such as any of the following:
Vague suggestive statements, such as “looking for a good time tonight”
Sexualized slang
Using sexual hints such as mentioning sexual roles, sex positions, fetish scenarios, sexual preference/sexual partner preference, state of arousal, act of sexual intercourse or activity (sexual penetration or self-pleasuring), commonly sexualized areas of the body such as the breasts, groin, or buttocks, state of hygiene of genitalia or buttocks
Content (hand drawn, digital, or real-world art) that may depict explicit sexual activity or suggestively posed person(s).
Content that offers or asks for other adult activities such as:
Commercial pornography
Partners who share fetish or sexual interests
Sexually explicit language that adds details and goes beyond mere naming or mentioning of:
A state of sexual arousal (wetness or erection)
An act of sexual intercourse (sexual penetration, self-pleasuring or exercising fetish scenarios)

Re: COL465 – No Pic, No Chat ~ Bruce Hicks: Hey guys. Love the show. I will admit that the reason I don’t post my face on a profile pic is because I am discreet (or down low as some call it). I am a single, bi-male but I have decided to stay in the closet with it (Some may call me a coward, but I am okay with that). When I do talk to guys, I will give them a face pic via inbox when they ask for one .But even then, I feel uncomfortable doing that because I’m afraid someone who is openly gay will recognize me or screen shot my face. I always try to feel the person out to see what kinda of vibe i get from them before sending my face pic. I tend to avoid those that like to gossip or expose others and aim for older bears because a lot of them are not really into drama & gossip. So, I know with me being discreet, I don’t get as many responds and I’m okay with that because from my experience, those that are openly gay have no problem hooking up with discreet guys. Any tips for us discreet guys or do you have any stories of meeting with discreet guys? Love your podcast. Hope to see you all at one of the Bear Runs this year.
In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, the cubs bring the year 2017 to a close with a special review. Listen in as the guys give their highlights and lowlights of the year, both personally and based on the show. Was this year all that or just meh?

Re: COL444 LTAS: Bottom Friendly Food. Hey guys, I know this is not the usual happy type of email you’d normally get, but I wanted to say a big Thank You. I had a 2 hour drive on Monday from Louisville to Cincinnati as my Dad’s Time was running out, and I listened to the podcast on the way up. You guys kept me entertained and kept me from thinking of the bad stuff ahead. I guess you never really know how you touch people’s lives…this was one that helped me when I needed it. Thanks.
