    Not everyone has the stuff to be a bottom: the role means enduring a lot of pain and stigma.
    But the lifestyle also brings great satisfaction and, at times, moments of exquisite, unparalleled joy

    I was 39 years old when I got out of prison. I tutored over 400 fellow prisoners. They younger ones called me Mr. Chuitt. There's a time when you learn you're an old timer and you're respected because you did all that time without drama and you managed to do some good along the way.

    St.Paul's district aka Ledbetter Heights aka "the Bottoms" home of notorious street gang "the bottom boyz" BXBZ Also known to locals as an area within your best interest to avoid so you don't end up on a tv show like "blood bath in the bayou."There was a big bust there in 94.Well over a million in cash seized,loads of drugs and weapons including bodies found under houses but it would appear that after that bust their ties with the CIA were completely cut so you guy's should be ok disrespecting them on the internet as they no longer have the connections to track you down👍

    Coming out like this as three black men openly acknowledging that they are bottom boys is huge for the gay black community. We face a lot of stigma among the black community at large who can be extremely anti-LGBTQAAIP2S+. For these guys to come on the podcast in front of the world and show that they were bottoms in prison makes other guys feel more confident about it too.
    I'm one of the Top Boyz myself and we need our Bottom Boyz like these. These guys are a bit old for it now, their bottoms are probably not what they used to be, but it's really the enthusiasm that counts. A good power bottom is a prize at any age.
    Shout outs to these real ones.
    Local: Burned.
    Ones: Real.
    Yewsummin: Masked.
