This could impact the hobby more than covid-19, IMHO.

I agree. I see myself reducing hobby frequency as this number rises.

It has always been "keep them stupid, afraid, and dependent on us" for the government, and anyone else notice it really took off right after pride month.

Not for us old farts and some veterans. The smallpox vaccine we were given is over 85% effective in preventing monkeypox. The smallpox vaccine was given to the general public until 1972. The military gave it until 1991. It is also pretty easy to spread https://www.cdc.gov/poxvirus/monkeypox/pdf/MonkeyPox-sexually-active-InfoSheet-508.pdf.

It depends upon how much the government wants to make us afraid of our own shadows. It's an election year and the strategy of one of the two major parties is to convince voters to believe that the government is the only one who can solve your problems. Create a problem that only you can solve can be an effective approach.

I've been making jokes about monkey pox for the last 3 weeks. Not so funny, any more (ha).

I've been wondering about that. This puts all massage parlor & strip club activity at risk. If you're straight, you're not officially in the risk group, but then coming into contact with any materials / clothing (not to mention kissing or touching) any stripper / masseuse who may have been exposed from an infected (possibly bisexual) customer, boyfriend, or family member could also transmit MP, from what I understand, or is that wrong? In other words, it's more socially transmissible than other STDs that require genital contact.

Those sanctIons really are doing us so many favors, perhaps we should start giving the clothes off our backs to "send a message" to Russia.

Maybe this will get these lazy women off only fans and back to doing real work as providers with reasonable rates.

Only fans and other sites like it need to go as it only made these women greedy and do no actual work for money from idiots who do not have a clue they are getting nothing for their money but are inflating the ego of women who used to be actual providers.

I can't say this is surprising. I haven't seen this kind of inflation since I was a young man, and regular gas is now selling for over $5 a gallon down the street for where I live. Mongers are getting squeezed. Maybe providers will finally adjust their prices accordingly if they want to stay in business.

A former MTV reality show star from the series, "Making the Band" was arrested in Maryland on sex trafficking charges.

The warrant for Kevin Barnes AKA "Chopper" came from Las Vegas police and was served in Anne Arundel County.

According to TMZ, an undercover detective in Nevada posing as a sex worker says the rapper direct messaged them on Instagram with an apparent offer to make money through prostitution.

In court documents obtained by TMZ, police launched an investigation after seeing social media evidence of a potential sex trafficking operation. The undercover detective said they had a phone interview with Barnes where he said he would make them part of his "team" and "stable." At one point, police say he demanded a fee. Court documents say police felt they had enough evidence to make an arrest and issued a warrant.

Barnes was taken into custody earlier this month in Linthicum, Md.
