Hey bigoz this is an old tradition in this forum, to deteriorate all topics to light talk and jokes i.e. It really works fine i am glad the moderators here don't intervene spoiling our fun.

Kikapu I thought the city of gays in USA was not San fransisco but Los Angeles/the city of Angels, no?

From what Karma mou said-that she will survive- do you know what's the No1 fantasising of women while the are having sex? It's they do it with the one they love but.... there are 10 more guys waiting in queue. True guys it's proven scientifically. A woman fantasises to knock out 10 men and still hold on. "Banishtiri"/voyeurism is in human genes from prehistoric times...

NB. Is this word "banishtiri" from village cypriot dialect coming from turkish?

Pyro, when I first joined the forum last year you were a serious man who used to bother himself only for Cyprus issue...Wht is happening man?? Alzheimers or what

Anyway, I hope everything is fine with you..

For belly dancing u lost the chance, I am already back from Cyprus
But still U can contact GorillaGal, she is the best in the continent of America I' m more into tango or waltz nowadays:wink:

As for ''banishtiri'' , it is not Turkish word, it must be from the Greek verb ''banizw (μπανιζω) ''

May God you never need to use tht verb as long as your wife survives

City and County of San Francisco has a population of 800,000, and of that, 15%-20% are Gay. Los Angeles , New York and even London may have more Gays, but I believe San Francisco has a well established Gay neighbourhood (Castro District) where Bars and Restaurants as well as where many other establishments are, as well as professionals working and living in and around Castro District.

Karma mou I was always teasing some women in this forum, I hope I haven't crossed the line. As for Alzheimer, no not yet, I still remember when I was breast feeding

For belly dancing I always like the Real thing not some American imitation...

Kikapu I believe it's better for a society to accept gay people and let them live free without prejudices. In Cyprus almost everybody hides and most get married with straight .
I noticed at around the age of 40 those people revolt, and they return to their old sexual preferences, many divorces around, and many tragedies.
I was shocked at about the age of 40 realizing what was going on. At first that made me angry, then I just realized this is Cyprus man, the place where everything goes wrong.

I have met few men in their 40's who were married and had children but were still "GAY" everything about them. I never knew their private life of course, but in San Francisco, it is very easy to tell a Gay person ( man and woman) from a straight ones, because they live in a very safe and open society and they should.

Do you think the reputation of San Fransisco has something to do with it being the "hippy centre" of the West during the "flower power" times of the 1970s? I remember there was even a song made for it by Scott McKenzie...

This is a little late in answering the above, but what the heck, it's a slow day.

I was not implying at all, that the City of San Francisco is famous because of it's Gay population. It is that the Gay population has made San Francisco the "Gay Capital of the World" because of their strong community and their individual contribution and commitment to the city in every aspect of the city, including local Politics. The very first openly Gay SF board member was Harvey Milk back in late 1970's who was gunned down along with the Mayor George Moscone by a disgruntled ex board member and ex police officer Dan White, in 1978. Since that time, Gays have gained a lot of political influence in the local government.

A lot of the Gays of San Francisco just happened to be here, because of the wars in Korea and Vietnam, where San Francisco / Oakland was the gateway for shipping troops out to these places across the Pacific. The military of course does not allow Gays to serve and those who were found out to be Gay, were given Dishonorable discharge, so rather than these people going back to their home states, with such a record from the military where they would be ostracized in some of the "Bible Belt" states, they chose to stay in San Francisco instead, and as they say in the movies, the rest is History.

Yes you are correct, that the Hippie Movement in the 60's and the 70's also put San Francisco on the map. I always heard of Height Ashbury, but never knew what it was, until I moved to San Francisco in 1979. It turns out, Height Ashbury are the names of two street crossing each other so it it actually Height & Ashbury close to the Golden Gate Park where a lot of the Hippies and anti war movements activated from. You know all the slogans, "make love not war". Well, along with drugs and music from that era, the sexual revolution was also became to be. Sex was everywhere and so was some of the great music by local song writers and musicians, such as Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead who lived in this neighbourhood along with Jefferson Airplane. If you visit Height street today, you will find it to be very interesting indeed. You will still find shops that sell Hippie and other wild clothing's as well as Tattoos and Beads along with a Free Medical Clinic. Appropriately, on the corner of Height & Ashbury you will find today, the world famous Ben & Jerry ice cream shop, whom the owners are from Vermont but also very "Hippie" minded.

If we go back just a few years earlier, say the 1848, where San Francisco had a population of only about 1,000, but with the finding of Gold in 1949, it grew to be 50,000 in just couple of years, because everyone came from all over the world, to find their fortunes, because the heard the voices of "There's Gold up on them Hills". Well, 150+ years later, the whole of the Bay Area consists of 7 million people and still growing.

It's a great city indeed.
