Years ago, I bumped into a young man with whom I’d shared many kinky role plays at my local 24-Hour Fitness. We just acknowledged one another.

I wasn't very interested either. But I'm not very interested in many things others love, like football and traveling. And I have interests that others couldn't care less about. So to each his own - glad some of you gentlemen enjoyed it!

Yeah. Look at all the trouble the former guy got from dating hookers. Stay tuned for the details that will start coming out after April 15 in a New York courtroom. 😛

Just hire per hour, get in, get off and get lost. Don't take them on a cruise with you if you think you might run into someone who knows you and he'll spread the word that you hire guys for sex and that terrifies you. 
Many times, I've introduced guys I've hired at restaurants to acquaintances as " visiting nephews", friends, etc. To my friends I would simply tell them the truth and recommend the guys because I don't care what they think! Obviously, a restaurant is not the same as a gay cruise, sauna, etc.
How do they know he's a provider? Age difference? 
Would a discreet escort be equally embarrassed about being seen by a friend in a gay cruise, sex party, etc. with someone who just can't pass as a date/friend, etc.?

^I do the same when I see clients around because you never know if the client wants to maintain discretion regarding how they know you. Maybe he is with a spouse that doesn’t know. Or perhaps they simply do not want to engage outside the context of a session. For these reasons, it’s up to the client to approach me. I’m not ignoring or avoiding the client. I’m giving them the option to maintain their discretion. When they engage with me, I reciprocate.
^I suggest the same approach as above. You respect their boundaries and hopefully they do the same. Maybe acknowledge them with a nod or something. Otherwise leave them alone unless they make it clear they want to engage with you. You both know why you are there. Let him be. 

This is great news…. 
No one wants to be walking around with a hard dick, and then not remember what to actually do with it….. 

I embrace a James Bond mindset... YOLT.

I ran into a client at a naked beach in Mykonos one time. He was with his partner. It didn’t seem to be a problem. 

It's a small world. All of us see people from realms in our past out and about. In a case of seeing a provider, leave them be UNLESS they engage first. Their obligation to you is over until you see them "on the clock" again, so be respectful of their "off the clock" time.
Last year I had an embarrassing instance of seeing someone I used to work with in a neighboring grocery line. I said to the person I was with that if I fast-forwarded in time 20 years from now, that lady over there presently looks like one of my former co-workers. She unfortunately overheard me and angrily said a brief hello. She had aged that badly in such a short time frame, and I wished I kept my comment to myself!

If your life is such that you can’t be seen out with a hooker….. don’t go out with a hooker.
No judgment. No shade. Just fact.
If you choose to go out with a hooker, you will be seen, you will be judged, and there will be shade….the question is, do you care?

I keep it very low-key and professional.

I suppose "Hey There" is better than "What's up, slut!" 

When the quad axel was only being talked about, long before anyone did one in competition, I thought it was just a pie-in-the-sky fantasy.  Now that I've seen Malinin nail the jump, I still can't believe it even after rewinding and rewatching it a half-dozen times.  And it's not like the other five quads are like falling off a log.  Even the last series, the triple lutz step into a triple axel, boggles my mind.  Congratulations to Ilia and family for his first world championship!

I was pulling for Yuma Kagiyama because I LOVE his overall skating (and he's cute as a button), but hats off to Malinin. There was just no beating him yesterday - it really was a fantastic, history-making skate.
Also thrilled that Kaori Sakamoto three-peated! This was a fun and exciting Worlds overall!

Fun story - thanks for sharing!
 
I go to an open gym session where some of the guys will go shirtless, and there's one guy in particular with the most incredibly built and toned body... I feel like I can't even look his way, though, because if I dare to sneak a glance I will just STARE. So I feel like I'm constantly averting my eyes - and sometimes it feels almost like he's aware of it and purposely trying to do things next to me. It's like floating a pizza in front of someone who's trying to diet. There's a part of me that loves it and a part of me that's like, "Would you PLEASE just leave me alone?!"

March 26th  will mark the 3rd Anniversary of daddy/ @Guy Fawkes passing. I was just reading through the numerous tributes posted in this thread and reflecting on the contributions each one of you have made to keep his memory alive.
When @HooBoy passed @Guy Fawkes took control and worked tirelessly to keep the site going. Unable to purchase it he created a new site and transferred all our posts and reviews to the new one. We were all so appreciative for this as it kept our community together. When daddy suddenly passed I thought this was the end  but, fortunately, contacts were made and daddy’s labor of love continues through all our eyes. 
Cheers to daddy! I truly enjoyed my years working along side with him and I’m certain he’d be so pleased knowing the site he created is still up and running! 🥂 🍾 
Thanks to all the supportive members who stuck around to watch as the show must go on! 
RIP my old friend. 🙏

As we approach the 3rd anniversary of Daddy's passing, I want to acknowledge the great work on behalf of a small team of volunteers who keep this community active and thriving!  The days and weeks following daddy's death were fraught with uncertainty - and this community nearly perished.   This community pulled together and found our way through - got access to the site code, migrated the site to new technology, and developed a new support structure.  We even came up with a new name for our community!  While every volunteers' contributions are valued, I wanted to especially acknowledge @RadioRob our tireless webmaster.   He does his work with no fanfare, no drama and almost no downtime; and he seeks no recognition.   @RadioRob we are grateful!     ....CompanyOfMen 
RIP Daddy

Johnny Weir was beside himself!!
 
Was exciting to see such an amazing performance.

Ilia Malinin executes six perfect quads in competition.  Breath taking.  The sport has been pushed to a new level.

I’m the same. I don’t like to stare at someone who is good looking. That would be in circumstances where there is no likelihood of a hookup. Of course in the old days of pickups in gay bars when I was younger, a little staring often paid handsome dividends.
I had to watch myself yesterday in the locker room because when the black kid got out of the shower he was towelling himself in front of me. I had already caught a glimpse of his beautiful ass when he went into the shower and now I wanted to get a glimpse of the package in front. Without being obvious of course. 
 
I got my chance without making it obvious and was not disappointed. It hung long and heavy in a nice dark bush. Yum. 😋

For those who dislike the thick nature of SPF, let me recommend Korean and Japanese formulations.
They're like clear jelly, blend in perfectly and protect very well.
