I see some pretty interesting opinions here that vary quite immensely. I will say that yes, I did fing this site by accident looking for porn and I don't think I'm the only one. I like to read the gay stories and of course look at the amateur pics section, but what keeps me coming back are the forums and discussions.
As for friendships, I think there are some valid points on both sides. As has already been mentioned, I met Elvin here on this site and that developed into a realife (pardon the term) friendship most likely because we live in the same city. I doubt I would have met him in any other situation, and I wouldn't trade his friendship for anything.
There are others I have gotten to know beyond just the boards who I also consider real friends. They know who they are and I feel certain the friendship is mutual.
I will say that being online does give one a sense of security than can bring out parts of a personality that would never be present in the real world. There are many people (myself at times) that are so shy, they have a difficult time in social situations when in public or face to face that can only be overcome in a place like we have here.
All in all, I see this site as a positive outlet for everyone, especially for those who, for whatever reason, have only this place to interact and yes, make friends that otherwise would never happen.
