Feedback

• [Damon] From Ken (new Like on Facebook): “OMG I’m listening to the most recent show. I cant believe four of you think similarly to me about BDSM. I get so damned tired of these young men who DEMAND to be used, banged, and beat and bound the first night you meet them. I REFUSE. They get pissy with me and tell me I’m a pussy because I wont do it. I’m like dude you dont get it. No one wants to take time to allow you to know them and their body. WTF. Thank you. Thank your friends on the show too.”

“I just listened to your video and I just want to say that I can identify with the things you said here and even a few of the things I’ve heard you squeak out on COL. I’m new to COL, I thought you had a great voice for radio. (””)BearHugs(””) from Minnesota. ” Sent To Ben From Jovial Cub on Bruizr. (SEE DAMON AND ROBBY BOBBITT, TOLD YOU HE WAS MINE!)

Thanks so much for the hilarious response to my feedback. I laughed…really hard…at work while listening (on headphones, of course). I think I definitely would prefer your topping approach to Ben’s. Don’t know if I wanna get pounded…yet…at least.

Look forward to the next episode!

I cant express how much it means to me that you took your entire show time just to help me. I’m so thankful for the knowledge you’ve dropped on me, Shortly after my first email I decided to tell my mom ( not mentioned in the email since i only see her once every two months if I’m lucky). She was kinda accepting and will become more over time, but I have my “safe structure” you guys mention and it feels very good. I don’t plan to tell my dad for a few years,most likely after college, but at least I know i will eventually. Iv made some new gay friends in school once i came out more. Though there all “clones” lol. I plan on keeping your guy’s advise to heart forever.

Thanks. It means more to me than you know.

loves and Hugs: Connor

BTW some questions you asked of me.
I don’t live too far from champaign

The bears I’ve met are around the same age. Iv now realized that’s not the entire community, and it was kinda foolish to think that.

Hello, I’m a brand new listener. I’ve enjoyed your show so far quite a bit. I’ve heard several mentions to something called “Bruiser”? I’ve tried googling it, checking the app store, and I’m a bit lost. What exactly is it, because it sounds really interesting to me.
