 I can no other answer make, but, thanks, and thanks.

Mr International Bear 2007 Here at The Complete Bear we have many reasons to give the thanks, but Liza and I would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the people who have made this a wonderful journey:

  • Rich Tramontozzi - for all his patience, being the "first" TCB model, and all the guys at I BR who set up tables, ran buses and always managed a kind word.
  • Harry Litt - for introducing TCB to the wonderful world of Lazy Bear.
  • Ken & David from CyberBears - for the advice on how to be a porn star (never look at the camera) and the exchange of ideas.
  • RustySpot who never once complained when I call for an ad on Thursday that goes to print on Friday.
  • TubeBear for always mentioning us on PlanetBears.
  • Buzzed Beef for allowing us to follow his quest for fitness.
  • Our models -Mike, Tom, Rich, Tony, Bob & Dan.

 Is chatting cheating?
 Hot & Heavy

Bear Couple My boyfriend enjoys chats on gay.com and bear411. I was told through a mutual Internet acquaintance, who didn't know we were together, that my boyfriend said he is single. His online profiles also leave off his relationship status. While they don't say he's "Single" they don't say "Monogamously coupled" either.

Anyway, I found X-rated pictures, as well as sexual e-mails he had sent to another cub that lives nearby.

I guess my questions to you guys are: Is he cheating? How do I approach him about chatting online? Do I even need to approach him? Do I need to stay in this relationship? Worried in Wachovia

We get asked about monogamy all the time. And it depends on the couple. Some need a one on one exclusive relationship. Some others are happy sowing the wild oats all over town. It's what works for you and what you are comfortable with.

Above all - it's about trust, which obviously has been breached in your case. You don't trust him, and you're looking for evidence of wrong doings - that's bad. Can you trust him?

His online antics may be nothing more than a little cyber cruising, but if that bothers you - you can try to get him to change (not likely) or it's time to move on.

Is cyber cheating? Here's what you told us-
  • 2% said Yes- that wood belongs to me
  • 47% said No - it's just cyber fun
  • 32% said Yes - if it leads to a actual meeting
  • 16% said Yes - If its kept secret or hidden

 The Coffee's a Bruin
 

If you're like me, you are a bear until you've had your first cup of coffee in the morning. The aromatic blend can tame the grizzly in all of us.

Decadently luxurious. Heavenly syrupy body in a laid- back orchestration of pleasant earthy, herbal and warm-spice flavor notes creates a pool of deep ponderance for your palate.

Indonesian based blend of all naturally processed coffees.

 Photo shoot with HIV + "bear" talent
 SF Bay Area

I am casting a "Print" project for the ad agency GSW Worldwide and the photographer Robert Mizono, we are working on a campaign for the pharmaceutical companyRoche Fuzeon/Invirase and we are looking to find a "bear" talent who is HIV positive for their ad campaign (see attached pics).It will shoot next Wednesday, Nov. 28th in a motorcycle shop in the bay area

If you know of any men in your area who is HIV+ and would be interested in being our talent, please let me know. We are looking for a Caucasian in the age range of mid 40s. We would need to see a current pic, face and body.

The rate we can pay for talent is $3500. The usage is for 3 years, US only, all pharmaceutical industry trade uses (print, collateral, trade show/display, and web/electronic uses). He will need to be held exclusive to the HIV treatment product category so we're sure he doesn't pose for any other HIV jobs while we're licensing his photo.

I will be out at the 'bear bars' on Friday night scouting for talent. I can meet any perspective bear at the Lone Star or Eagle this Friday night. Any leads, any direction or advice is welcome!
