“Yellow” and “red” are for us. Easy & doesn’t break the mood
red/yellow is all I've ever used; they're one/two syllables, everyone who is in the scene knows what the fuck they mean, it is just the easiest way to go.
that said, I've used "yellow" much more than "red" because wanting to pause is more often a thing of "this limb is falling asleep in this position, can you move me?"/"done with that toy please, can you go to another one?"/"im thirsty as fuck, pls give me water" than "im done. end scene."

For those kinds of things (limb falling asleep, something needing a break) I was taught “mercy on my _(body part)___” is a great way to keep the mood going esp in a d/s situation. I do it with one bdsm partner (that’s how I learned about it) and it works great!
Only saw a handful of clips from this series (and been meaning to check it out completely so maybe I'm part of the problem) but I wish this got more seasons haha. Most of the sketches/clips I watched felt pretty relevant and also funny. This one is a prime example with the confusion from the dad but wanting to explain things and just works in a way that isn't meant to downplay all the changes/updates to things in recent years. I feel like the main problem with so many people is the fear of any sort of change. "I grew up and things were like this so why are all these other things now different???!?!?!?!"

I wonder if it is a fear of change or just not understanding and being left out of the loop. I totally get this video when I see well meaning folks my age or a little older trying to talk to their kids about important topics when they really have no idea anything beyond their own bedroom. They are really trying to give the talk they wish they had when they were kids and just need someone to sit down and teach them a class on it and not look at them like they are idiots.

Oh, it totally makes sense what you're saying about the ones who are open to new ideas/change but are just trying to navigate it all. I can only speak from my personal experience and I see a lot of my family being less open and more "why is this a thing...this wasn't a thing when I was younger (though it was...you just didn't know) so it shouldn't be a thing now.". Being left out of the loop is certainly something I can see contributing to the whole conversation.
I commend all parents who choose to adapt and learn new stuff if in comes to it. I'm sure it's not an easy task but I do tend to equate it to previous generations and coming out as homosexual. Having an open mind and trying to understand versus trying to condemn and possibly "reverse" that thinking is always going to be better.
Better education all around is needed but I think we're still in a weird culture war where so many people just want to deny progress and feelings and try to define things as "the bible says one man and one woman" and all that junk. Any parent who is open to their child's ultimate happiness and well-being (even if they are confused or conflicted) is a positive. I just know too many who are in denial of any kind of change/progress so that tends to bleed into my views.

Oh yeah, I'm sure there are plenty of the people you describe out there, too. I think those people are totally fucked in the head and really need therapy to deal with their own shit. If you are going to say you hate your child or reject them because of their gender or sexuality then you are going against all parenting instincts because you have your own issues you haven't dealt with. I'm sure some people disagree but if you are a good parent, you will love your child regardless. If you aren't, or you have major issues you haven't dealt with, you will let others (media, religion, whatever) dictate your actions and feelings.

In the interest of education: "Homosexual" is a pretty outdated term at this point. Its roots are in the clinical pathologizing of same-sex attraction, and it doesn't encompass same-sex love (homophilia). It's also how "homo" became a slur, and nowadays the term is typically used most by those with an anti-gay agenda. Most queer folk I know would greatly prefer "gay" or "queer" (which interestingly enough used to be a slur and now has largely been reclaimed by the gay community). Same goes for "trans" instead of "transexual". No offense taken whatsoever but wanted you to know!

And this is where I feel like I differ with members of my family. I see something like this and file it away as "Okay, adapt and evolve. This is outdated, this is more accepted....etc". and keep moving on. To get into the racial side of things there are clearly different terms for describing certain races that have changed and evolved over the last few decades to be more accepted and "correct" or whatever. And they probably will continue to change.
But that's the point. Language and society is always updating/evolving/changing. I have a problem with certain people who refuse to even acknowledge or attempt to stay up to date and make jokes or complaints about how things are "these days". I am not always as up to date as the culture but I am open to learning. It's the folks who feel like any change at all is an attack on them that are super frustrating and I've dealt with it in my own life on a number of occasions. Even just any discussion about "pronouns" now is a problem at times.
I do remember it feeling a bit weird when I was explaining an upcoming TV show made by Lena Waithe a couple years ago and I directly quoted an article/review and referred to her as the "queer writer/producer/actor" or whatever it described her as and my mom thought she caught me and was like "You can't say that!" and asking her what the "Q" in "LGBTQ" stands for. But it definitely was a moment of thinking "Yeah, that used to be not cool but seems to be taken back" in recent years.
(EDIT: After posting I thought about making sure what the "Q" means and now looking up it could also mean "Questioning" so live and learn. Either way. My point is language changes lol. Be open to the change).

Not as sexy as I would’ve liked, but we’ve been careful as the numbers have been high here in NYC. They’re finally going down again so we’re gonna get some action in this weekend for sure

If you're not opposed to apps I'll recommend joining Feeld. It's a good way to get your foot in the door with the kink/sex party/poly community, and is pretty active in Brooklyn
There are definitely other avenues to getting invited to parties and such but its an easy way to get to know some of those people
Feeld is prob fine to navigate as a hetero-leaning dude but omg as a queer/bi poly girl, it was a nightmare for the brief period I tried. so many unicorn hunters and pushy couples looking for threesomes. i had no luck on that app, sadly.
Update on this viewpoint!
A recent date suggested I give Feeld another try because he said our local area has way more people on it than used to be there (when I first tried the app early or mid 2020 I think it was), and a solid number of like actually poly folks instead of just swingers or folks looking for a threesome.
So I redownloaded it a few days ago, and I've gotten into a few pleasant conversations so far including a sexy older woman who is interested in going to a Quaker silent meeting with me sometime
Maybe this app has more promise now than it used to!
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.
