......how I feel about trying to find a like minded jerk buddy to meet up with for porn and jerking. Any other dudes finding it impossible to find locals? Very discouraging. I envy all the buds out there jerking together!

Dude, there are tons of guys here with the same prob, many of us over 50, and we still can't hook up with a local guy for some enjoyment. Good thing I have my hand

I met a couple cool guys on Craigslist who were like minded about masturbating, but haven't been able to hook up with anyone since.

All my jacking with friends was way back in high school. All the guys around here that I've talked to want more than just jacking. Nothing wrong with that but it's not what I'm wanting. Judy wasn't too busy with other guys about jacking to start with.

I'm guessing that there are few reasons. Geography is a huge one. It's probably much easier in more liberal and more populous metro areas than in smaller, more conservative regions. With this, I'm merely saying that it's a numbers game.

The other big reason, at least as far as I can tell, is the audience here. I read a lot more than I post, and I get the sense that, generally speaking, visitors here (including me!) tend to be the more cautious type. Many of us have our wild stories, but they're probably wild because they're out of character for us.

I'm definitely not saying that we're prudes at all. This site has probably spawned a LOT more JO sessions and hookups than people share. Still, it's easier, and sometimes hotter, to talk/type about it with a larger audience than it is to get intimate. (And damn, some of the threads on the boards are HOT!!)

I agree wholeheartedly. Of the actual in-person hookups Ive had, exactly zero have come from here. Having said that, all of my long term chat friends HAVE come from here. I dont keep an ongoing chat or pic trade with anyone that Ive met on any other platform. As has been previously pointed out, I think the general culture of this site lends itself to an audience that is a bit more thoughtful, educated, and perhaps also cautious; it could also be that most here are more into the fantasy than the actual real thing, but I do think an over abundance of caution is likely the main cause. In short - based on my own experience, come here for better conversation. But hedge your bets and look for cock elsewhere.

Thanks for the replies gentlemen. I'll definitely keep looking, lucky to have this site at least.

This is exactly my situation

I agree, it's hard, but I met two good JO buddies here on this site. Just give it time.
