I’ve also found that a lot of Korean guys are cut, I put it to the American influence as well. Interesting about Filipino guys and circumcision being a long standing cultural aspect. 

I’ve only had one provider come to completion, and I’ve probably only hired about 6 or 7 guys total. It was a nice surprise when he did, and it was a geyser!

Just saw Spa Castle has reopened after many months of renovations. Looked at the website and admission has gone from $50 on weekdays to a whopping $85! Talk about gouging!

Blowbuddies is a little TOO "diverse" for MY tastes.

I'm not into bears or daddies and the venue tends to start there and descend quickly to just old and fat.

I spent the hour pushing people away because I was the only fit man I'm attendance the night I visited.  Tried again years later and left quickly, having suffered the same result.

If you LIKE hairy bears then it's probably fun for you. There is a lot of activity as people seem to get down to business pretty quickly.

When I went, there were some hairy bears, but also hot white, Asian and Hispanic guys. I avoided the ones whom I wasn’t interested in and they left me alone. People were very respectful.

Is the Bb venue being discussed Paddles in Chelsea ?  
Not my favorite place, but it’s kind of take it or leave in NYC due to lack of options.  Seems like I remember one small bathroom only or maybe 2 - but not anywhere near what’s needed in that sort of venue & with the crowds when it’s busy. 

Maybe it’s changed ? - haven’t been there since before Covid. 

Paddles is now permanently closed, I believe. This is a much better location and space. 

I went to Blow Buddies last night and I’d say there were about 60-70 guys who showed up. I got there early at 6:00 pm and then more people showed up as it continued. Very diverse types of guys, something for everyone and I’d definitely go back. 

Horrible news, he’s one of my favorites in the porn industry, never hired him as an escort. Does anyone have a link to his GoFundMe? I assume there’s a link on his X?

I’m not a fan of tattoos, but if they’re small and discreet, then it’s okay for me. I hired a provider who had just one on his shoulder, and another who had one on his calf. Tattoos on hands, face, neck, sleeve tattoos are a turn-off for me. 

I hooked up with Jay Dymel at the now defunct West Side Club in NYC. I had no idea who he was, and then saw him online in porn after I met him. I think he was surgically enhanced, wasn’t he? 

The article I read said that she became “unresponsive.” Could be cover-up by her P.R. team for too many prescription drugs. Never was a fan of her or her music. 

He unlocked his private pics on RM without me requesting it. Has looked at my profile several times as well. Not my type though. 

I highly recommend the evening cruise when you arrive, if you’re not too tired. You walk to the pier near where there’s a Costa Coffee stand (the British coffee chain) and the boats are docked there. You barter with the guys who offer cruises, it should be around 100-120 Qatari riyals, which is about $30 for a 20-minute cruise on the Gulf. 

The Museum of Islamic Art is beautiful, but I’m not a fan of much Islamic art. The Souq Waqif is interesting, but I’m not a big shopper, if that’s your thing, it’s worth visiting. If I’m going to shop, I prefer London and Paris, quirky independent shops and incredible menswear in London. I’m not into buying tchotchkes or gold jewelry. And what would I do with an Arab sheikh outfit? Use it for Halloween?

The Pearl is interesting and there’s a little replica of Venice with canals and bridges. I also liked the Katara Towers, a really unusual piece of architecture. One side is a Raffles Hotel, and the other side is a Fairmont. Worth going inside. 

I stay in the West Bay because that’s where my company puts us up. I’ve traveled there on business but I’ve been lucky to have free time there. 

I’ve been to Doha five times. Awesome little city with incredible modern architecture. All hotel employees and everyone who works in the hospitality industry are expats, a good deal of them come from the Philippines, India, Pakistan and various African countries. Still, I would be discreet in public. No public displays of affection, no hand holding, etc. At the hotels where I’ve stayed in the West Bay, I’ve always been amazed at how some foreigners dress- short shorts, bare shoulders, etc. On the hotel beach, some female tourists were wearing thongs. A lot of local guys go jet skiing on the Persian Gulf, and they pass by the hotel beaches very slowly to catch a look. 

If you have time, take a cruise on the Persian Gulf in the evening to see the skyline illuminated at night. It’s about $30 US for half an hour and it’s spectacular. In February, it should be cool enough, in the 70s. I wouldn’t do it in the summer when it’s 120°.

The same arrogance that sunk the Titanic took 5 more victims! 

There's a reason why planes nowadays are built out of metal and not fabric and wood like a biplane. 

Cheap submersible don't last!

Will this incident affect other industries trying to save money using other materials?

Why The Boeing 787 & Airbus A350 Are Built With Composite Materials

SIMPLEFLYING.COM

---

The pair of widebodies utilize composites in their build.

 

Fortunately, in the aviation industry and for the traveling public, composites are safe in aircraft. The composites in the submersible most likely gave way to the sheer weight of the water at 13,000 below sea level. The B787 and A350 don’t have weight like that imposed on the fuselage in flight. The 787 has 15% humidity in the cabin instead of 4% as on previous aircraft, so you feel much better and less tired on long haul flights. The composites allow for a higher humidity level in the cabin because they don’t corrode like aluminum. Also, the 787 has a lower cabin altitude than previous models like the 777, so it’s less of a strain on the body. 

Carbon fiber composites have been also used on older models but not in as many parts as the 787. The 757 and 767, Boeing aircraft developed in the 1980s, had composite vertical stabilizers and they flew for years without problems. 

He’s been busy as of late, I follow him on OF. First he was in San Diego for a porn shoot, then he went to Tel Aviv on vacation. I’ve chatted with him a little bit on OF, seems like a nice guy from what I can gather. But I think he’s definitely more on the rough side in the sack, so if you hire him, I think you can expect a dominant no-recip top, judging from his videos. I don’t think he’s into a BFE even in his personal life. 

The control stick was like a video game console, just looking at that scared me. Plus, going down 13,000 feet in that tiny thing would be enough of a deterrent for me not to want to risk my life in it. I guess it didn’t bother the people who went in it, but it gives me the creeps. 

I’d recommend going to the saunas in London, Pleasuredrome is fun, have never been disappointed, and I’ve heard good things about SweatBox. I go to Pleasuredrome because it’s low-key (under the rail arches by Waterloo Station) and I like the space. Never hired in London.

Same goes for Montréal. I’ll go to Campus to get turned on, then walk down the street to L’Oasis. Always had much fun at L’Oasis, they used to fill the steam room with bath bubbles on Thursday nights. I remember Club 4-5-6 around 2000, that place was huge. I haven’t been to Montréal since 2018, so I don’t know what the scene is like now in the saunas but I’m sure it’s better than NYC.

He’s now found a second career doing porn, not just on OF. His first scene for RawF*ckClub was released this week. 

If you do buy any poppers, don’t buy them at Vishara, they’re way overpriced. I found a convenience store on Lexington Avenue between 45 and 46 Streets, and they’re much cheaper. Usually have good luck with Jungle Juice Platinum or Rush, the big bottles are $15 there, as opposed to $25 at Vishara. 

I passed him on the street a couple weeks ago. After he had passed, I wondered where I had seen him before and then I realized I saw him on RM! He looks like his pics. 

If I liked the guy, I’d be happy to have him for a little longer to chat. I had one provider who came to my apartment in Manhattan and he stayed an extra 20 minutes chatting and having a beer, so I thought I was lucky. Then he looked at the time and realized that he was late to meet a friend and had to leave. 

I visited another provider in Brooklyn and we chatted for about 20 minutes after and then I felt like I should leave, because I didn’t want to take up his time. He didn’t seem to want to push me out, and continued to talk with me. 

For me, a little conversation is nice, I always find something to talk about and intelligence is as sexy as the physical attributes of the guy. I met one provider in Hell’s Kitchen and he was very disinterested, was a terrible conversationalist and was anxious to have me leave because he had another client booked soon after our meeting. I’ll never hire him again.

Blame LVMH.  They tack-up everything they touch.

Luckily, they haven't ruined Rimowa luggage...  Yet.

A really good friend of mine works for Hermès, and loves the company. I remember when LVMH tried very aggressively to buy the company out of the control of the family, and the employees rallied behind the Dumas-Hermès family. In the end, the family took LVMH to court in France and they won, keeping them independent. All Hermès employees worldwide breathed a sigh of relief. I know how upset my friend was at the prospect of a hostile takeover, and I’ve avoided buying anything owned by LVMH ever since. 

I don’t plan on meeting anyone this weekend, but when I see a provider I’m interested in, I put their phone number in my phone so I already have their number without having to use the website. 

I very rarely use RM Messenger and usually text a provider directly, but it stinks the website is down on a weekend. 

I get the code 500 as well.
