YouTube Comment:

  • COL635: LTAS: Sex Starvation: Oan R. – “I feel like there should be a thing at the beginning differentiating this from starvation sex. Not a very well known kink. But it is a thing.”
  • COL636: LoR: Love Languages: Oan R. – “My thoughts on different things with this kind of matches Gary’s and Damon’s. I usually like gifts if it’s something I need or ask for. And as for touch and interaction, I generally am more receptive if it’s someone I know and have talked to and traded experiences with.” “The thing I find interesting is just the different places “5 Love Languages” has been applied.” “I actually didn’t know about parallel play, so thanks for that.”

Voicemail

  • 203 area code – SW Connecticut: “No, did you know if you whisper to Alexa, she whispers back? I learned this in the creepiest way possible. I was just saying something and whispering and then Alexa just whispered out of nowhere. And I was like ‘who the fuck is that?’ big man.”

  • Re: COL535: The Santa Fantasy – Jay Yospa:  A couple of observations: not growing up Christian I could be wrong, but I think in the song I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus, Santa in this instance isn’t the real Santa but how kids see Santa-which is their Dad in costume. So Mom isn’t poly, she’s kissing her husband in his Santa suit. After all, Dad (and Mom) are ones really putting the presents under the tree. (I hope I’m not shocking anyone with this revelation). Also for movie Santas, it’s tough to beat ex-pro wrestler Goldberg as Santa in Santa’s Slay. A fun, but silly horror movie worth, if nothing else, watching the first scene from.

  • Re: COL418: Handsome vs Sexy – Berty Bertface: Damon hit the nail on the head, handome could mean “physically you are wow and i want to know more”, sexy could mean “you’re hot, lets fxxk”. At least for me.
  • Re: COL450: Gay Genetics – Berty Bertface: Interesting show. Being a gay man has not been as easy as most of my hetero friends. Society made it seem wrong so there was shame, guilt attached to my younger self. Where i see science stepping in would be parents choosing to alter genetic code to avoid homosexual children. For me the question is, because there is not anything wrong with us so why changes us?
  • Re: COL537: What’s Going on December 2019 – Berty Bertface: Happy New Year guys! Thanks for all of your hard work. Cheers
  • Re: COL503: Gayming Characters – Berty Bertface: 1:19:53, Gary spoke about ai. If ai is to be as close to us (humans) as possible, could ai develop sexuality, gender roles etc? Then evolve to develop the need to bond with other ai, and eventually form hetero, gay, bi etc. ai? Sexual orientation is a fundamental component of our identity, so ai may need this too? As far as gayming is concerned for me, am gay and not bothered if my avatar is a trans-biscuit so long as i can achieve my goal completing the objective.
  • Re: COL538: 2019 Year in Review – Berty Bertface: Another great podcast/video guys. Especially Gary’s piece towards the end of the show. Comparison is the thief of joy, no one I’ve known has ever had it all worked out. I believe there is no harm in the admiration of another but be cautious when comparing yourself to them. I hope you guys fullfill your plans for 2020, chin-chin.
  • Re: COL472: Giving/Taking . . . Compliments – Berty Bertface: All three of you are pretty fxxking awesome. Take that as you will.
  • Re: COL471:Where is the body? – Berty Bertface: Not sure anyone is completely fine with their bodies, but it is what it is. It makes me sad to hear about anyone feeling shame towards themselves. My first crush/awakening happened during school, during gym class. I am medium build, he was the big kid in the class/school. Absolutely gorgeous person inside and out. We were friends but i always wanted desperately to tell what he truely meant to me. I am certain many larger men are not aware of their secret admirers, but i wish for this to change so we can all enjoy ourselves and each other.

From right after Christmas…

Hi, guys.  I’m about 2 months behind in listening to your podcast, and I’m having a problem with Chester’s “I’ll Tumbl For You” links.  Whenever I try to open one (current example), I get “The URL you requested could not be found.”  I tried following Chester’s “The Cub Up There” blog back to the date of the show (slow-scrolling thru 2 months of backlog), but I couldn’t find anything there that looked like what he described on the show.

Is it possible that Chester deletes his Tumblr posts after the “Cubs Out Loud” podcast?

Keep ’em coming, & merry holidays,

From after COL398 ‘Bud Sex’

Hi there cubs!

First of all, Happy New Year and thanks for having Hadrian read those stories a few episodes ago! It definitely made the cold weather somewhat warmer 😀 Second, I just finished listening to the Bud Sex episode you just released. I also briefly read the scientific journal article afterward. Being that you have indirectly summoned the COL scientist (thanks for the title, Jeff), I considered writing about a few things relevant to the discussion.

  1. Defining/measuring sexual orientation: A few of you mentioned the Kinsey scale to define sexual orientation. As revolutionary as this scale was back in the 50s, it does not represent sexual orientation accurately. Consider it more of a legacy instrument than a good one to define and measure sexual orientation. More recent models have proposed at least 3 dimensions to sexual orientation that can explain most of what we observe: identity, behavior, attraction.

        Identity refers to how you define yourself, in this case, sexually. If you identify as gay, bi, straight, queer, etc. that is your identity.

        Behavior refers to what people do sexually. In other words, who are people having sex with?

        Attraction refers to the gender you are attracted to.

Further, imagine that these 3 dimensions can be measured on a scale (for example, 1 to 10) instead of a “yes” or “no.” For example, I identify as gay (10) and do not identify as bi (0), straight (0), or queer (0); I have only had sex with men (10) and I have not had sex with women (0); and I feel very attracted to men (9) and a little attracted to women (3).  Now, based on our understanding of sexual orientation with these 3 dimensions we can conceive the existence of men who identify as straight, have sex with men and women at different levels, and feel attracted to both males and females at different levels. That is what sociologists, anthropologists, and the community at large may consider MSM, brojob, or bud-sex dude. Consider also those guys who identify as gay (8-10), who have only had sex with women because of social expectations or other reasons, and may be attracted to men way more than to women. I have met bears who were married, had kids, ended up getting a divorce, and are in a current relationship with another guy. They do not consider themselves as bisexual. The combinations are endless and could also encompass asexual (identity) people who are not interested in sex (behavior), but like people of their own, opposite, or both genders(attraction). I have found in my own research that this model captures way more information than a simple yes/no or Kinsley scale. Also, with this more comprehensive model, there is no need to challenge anyone’s identity because of who they are having sex with. Science is not barely catching up. In psychology we have had this and similar models for a long time (probably 30 years) but since it is more complicated to understand and does not raise much controversy, popular publications outside the field pay little attention.

  1. Sample size: Yes, 19 participants are not much and all of them are self-selected. Both things affect generalizability. Unless you have millions of dollars to conduct a study or you are gathering data for a census, this limitation is common, especially on research using interviews as the method to collect data. This limitation does not prevent the information to be valuable, especially when it elicits new ideas and a few hypotheses just like the ones Hadrian presented.

As usual, if you have any extra questions please let me know.

    5. Joking Hazard

  3. Gaming at bear runs?
    1. Absolutely!  They feel that official time slots should be part of the event schedule
  4. Where do people find other gamers?
