LTA… The Future of Events

Since the inception of the leather, bear, and kink communities events have been a way for people to come together and share time and space to make memories. With over fifty years of events having occurred, a lot has changed the landscape. From the digital revolution to worldwide pandemics, now we’re looking at how things have evolved. But has it all been for the betterment of the experience for attendees? Are there areas that need work? What opportunities are there for the coming years of activities?

COLFB223: Bear or not Bear – Is this really a question?

Hello, Ladies, Gentlemen and NBs. SOMEBODY’S GETTING MARRIED! Which means we’re taking this week off while Damon walks the aisle, Gary tries to catch the garter and bouquet, while bears ravage the reception buffet. But have no fear! Today we’re time traveling to nearly TEN YEARS AGO in August of 2013 for specia-mercial episode including previous hosts Eric and Robert! From three days away to the old-school NBCS, let’s flashback to COL Episode 223.

  • Hey guys, this is Q. I am calling because in reference to your last podcast the fantasies episode and specifically with Gary asking about massage tables and the weights or at least the like what is the weight limit of typical professional massage table? So. Four hundred pounds is typically the least amount of weight that a professional massage table can hold the table of I have has a working weight of six hundred and fifty pounds and I’m actually in about a month or so going to purchase the table that has a working wait fifteen hundred pounds because I do a lot of work on the table where I’m actually on top of my client myself. So I weigh 250, you know, they weigh 300 that’s 550 pounds and some doing a lot of work on the table. I need to make sure that it’s not going to squeak or do any of those, you know, making those weird or break or any of those things. So 1500 pounds is probably the maximum amount. I’ve heard of a table having a professional portable table. But yeah, so there you go. There’s your information. Thanks guys. Love the podcast..

Thanks for the episode! Sorry I’ve been busy lately and just got to the episode this morning! I hadn’t even realized you’d posted a whole episode reply or I would’ve carved out the time to listen to it already.

First off I would say sorry, I knew when I sent it one of the episodes I was referencing was quite old, and you may have grown in opinions since it was recorded, but since I was taking time to send the email I wanted to hit on all my thoughts, just in case.

I’ve attached a good picture of someone who has received bottom surgery. It’s not me, I have all my original parts, haven’t had surgery. If you’re wanting other pictures for reference I’d honestly recommend watching porn with trans guys (though often if they’ve had bottom surgery it’s kinda like playing Where’s Waldo since it can be difficult to really tell) rather than googling, because on Google you can get some somewhat gruesome pictures taken mid-surgery. And to educate some more on what I meant by you can’t really tell until they cum, basically just that, during sex you would treat it just like a cis man’s penis, only when they orgasm there wouldn’t be liquid cum, just the other tells like moans and body shakes.

I have a lot more thoughts on the episode I’d like to share, but if being on an episode is something that I actually feel up to being able to do I think it’s been more interesting in that format.

I’ve also attached a couple pictures of me (which if you bring up this email you can talk about, but please don’t post anywhere) do you know who you’re talking to.

Thanks, 

P.S. sorry for all the typos in this and my original message, I typed them out on my phone and my autocorrect mangled them a little bit.

P.S.S. Hello, I’ve talked it over with some friends and decided I think it’d be good to come on, if the invitation is still open, and you’re still wanting a chat with a trans bear.

COL473: More Fats, More Femmes

In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, the guys talk about the diversity of the bear community. In its over 30 years of existence, the guys give their opinions how much or how little it has changed in terms of inclusion, diversity, body positivity and more. Is this a trend heading towards inclusivity or a sign of the end of bear times?

  • Re: COL472: Giving/Taking… Compliments
    • Woofy – I have a habit of when I get a compliment I have a compulsive need to throw one back, even if I’m not interested. Something I need to work on, to just accept the compliment with a thanks.

Social Media Comment:

  • To Jeff: RE: COL472: bostonareabear on Bear411: “Are you gonna talk or are you gonna gloss your lips?” Funniest line of the last COL podcast.
  • To Damon: RE: COL471: Gonzo Gonzales “I just heard your podcast on body positivity and wanna thank you for thinking of me. I was in tears. Love you so much.”

Show Topic

More Fats, More Femmes – we like to see diversity, but …

    • Where is the diversity in the Bear Community?
    • How much have things changed in nearly 30 years?
    • Are we satisfied with what is represented today?
    • Is Tumblr the new bear porn for showing the reality of bodies and sex?
