MmM, I understand why you would ask this question, but I'm not comfortable answering it. And here's why... Simply put, I think that it's unfair that there is (what purports to be) a FB photo of Arthurpro on here. I thought that the board prohibited posting of the IG of escorts - and that that would extend to anything that might divulge the identity of the escort. Escorts are people too - and we should not do anything that might compromise their privacy. You certainly can ask him to Facetime with you if you need to confirm exactly what he looks like. I'd like to think that I'm a credible, longstanding member of this form and, that said, I just gave an unequivocal rave review of Arthurpro which should leave no doubt that he is real and that he is quite special - and should put to rest the speculation about this that has continued for many months. I stand by my review. Arthurpro is a gem, a gorgeous, competitive-level bodybuilder. And if that's what you like, you will not be disappointed.

OK guys - I took the plunge - so this is a follow up to my own posting yesterday. I am really surprised that he's been flying under the radar, given how some of us on this forum (myself especially) lament that there are very few true competitive bodybuilders available. That said, he is gorgeous in all respects - face, physique and personality. And he was such a nice, warm, friendly guy that I almost forgot that this beautiful bodybuilder was standing in front of me. For those of us who love beautiful aesthetic muscle, his physique is stunning - and I would say run, don't walk. He is not to be missed. He's in NYC for the weekend, but he comes here from time to time. Feel free to PM me.

Arthurpro's photos are stunning. That said, given that there are so few ripped bodybuilders on Rentmen, it's a little surprising that there hasn't been more "traffic" on this forum about him, particularly by guys who have actually met him. To be fair, there are some positive reviews of him here, but they mostly seem to be from newbies to the forum. Has anyone (particularly the more seasoned members of the forum) seen him lately - and can comment on whether his photos are accurate/current and how the experience was?

Has anyone seen him recently? If so, is he as ripped as his photos? Thanks.

I agree. Those photos are spectacular. He's so my type, if he's for real. His ads don't include a phone number, which seems a little unusual.

Perfectly stated.

For the very muscular escorts/masseurs: Has it ever happened that a client shows up - and he's even hotter/more muscular than you? How has that affected the session?

So maybe there's hope! LOL

Thanks @diehard_002. Very helpful indeed - appreciate all of the details that you provided. Too bad about the straight vibe, but as you said, who knows, maybe he's become a little more comfortable over time.

Has anyone met Diesel, who appears at Spunk NYC at the Monster and Pieces? He has a very ripped, muscular body and is usually in the weekly emails that Spunk sends out with photos of some of their dances. Looks very hot. Wondering how his lap dances are - and if he does privates.

Now I'm REALLY confused. I've seen the CDC's ambiguous guidance about the preference for spacing 28 days between the Covid booster and the monkeypox shot. But I've seen absolutely NO guidance on the need to space any particular amount of time between the flu shot and the monkeypox shot. Can anyone point to whether one has to space out the flu shot and monkeypox shot?

I'm planning to be in Barcelona for a week in mid-October for some fun. Please let me know if you plan to be there - and if you might want to meet up/hang out and explore.

Any update from anyone who's been to Thermas in July/August (in light of monkeypox)? Has Thermas been active or quiet?

Thanks for the update, Kevin. You called it correctly!

Ah, thanks for pointing that out, robear.

Thanks for pointing that out, Robear. The guidance that I've seen only goes in one direction, i.e., wait 28 days after your monkeypox jab before getting a Covid jab (to minimize the myocarditis risk). Although it stands to reason that you would need to wait 28 days after your Covid jab before getting a monkeypox jab, I haven't seen any explicit guidance that imposes such a 28-day waiting period. But I'm not a science guy, so this is just an educated guess on my part. Has anyone seen explicit guidance on a 28-day waiting period after a Covid jab BEFORE getting a monkeypox jab?

Thanks, Jim and Kevin. Your analysis does make a lot of sense. I do wish that the NYC Health Department would have put out a statement to that effect. After all, people have been relying on getting their 2nd shot after 28 days - and all of a sudden, they jump to 10 weeks. They really do fall short on their messaging efforts. A little more transparency would go a long way.

Thanks, Jim_n_NYC, for the info. I guess that it makes sense that they want to provide 2nd doses to those who received their 1st doses earlier on. I'll continue to try to locate a venue for a 2nd shot within a 100 mile radius of NYC.

Does anyone have any info on where in the NYC area (NYC suburban counties, NJ, CT, PA) a NYC resident can get a 2nd dose 28 days after their 1st dose, if we don't want to wait 10 weeks?

I saw him in June. Agree 100%. Beautiful physique, smooth and muscular. Photos are accurate. Super nice guy, very sexy, very relaxing massage. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Will see him again after I get my monkeypox vax.

Hi BenjaminNicholas, I'm pretty much in total agreement with you. Like you, I go to the gym to achieve my training goals - and I really enjoy getting in the zone during my workouts. But, unlike so many others (who I assume are there to make some progress with their physiques, ESPECIALLY at the very "scene-y" gym that I go to), I don't immediately default into my cellphone after I complete a set (pet peeve: the guys who text for 5 minutes after a set while sitting on a machine. RIGHT???). And I'm not suggesting that guys should go to the gym to turn it into a social, bar-like atmosphere, but I guess what I find so perplexing is that the gym seems to have become the polar opposite. So I think that the point of my posting is not so much the lack of flirting or cruising (and I think that you're correct that many guys just don't seem to know how to anymore without a phone in hand), but - wow - the lack of any real social cues going on. Case in point: if you ask someone to "work in," it's like you're speaking a foreign language! (although that might be a consequence of the pandemic). Perhaps my commentary is more specific to the gym that I go to, given how I've described it. I'm just really not sure at this point.

Yeah, I check out my Grindr too while I'm working out, but not incessantly, and very discreetly. But can't you do both? Maybe not, especially because everyone is peering into their phones and has their AirPods in their ears, conveying in essence a "do not approach" message. Do others agree that the gym is now a Grindr zone?

A recent post on another ScottVersHung thread has noted that his rate is now $1,000. Still wondering if anyone has seen him lately.

I go to one of the gayest gyms in NYC - and most of the guys are in very good "gayborhood" shape - some standouts for sure, but the vast majority are nicely muscled and toned (and almost kind of look the same!). I was working out the other day - and while people tend to use their smartphones a little too much while working out - but in-between my sets I noticed not just 1 or 2 or 3 guys staring at their cellphones, but EVERYONE was, without exception. Also, I've noticed that I hardly ever see anyone talking to anyone else. And there seems to be almost no eye contact whatsoever, as if everyone is making a concerted effort to NOT notice or check out anyone else. So I'm wondering if I'm alone in this observation - or in a throwback to what Carrie Bradshaw might type at the beginning of a SATC episode: "Do guys even discreetly check out or cruise or flirt with each other at the gym anymore (while working out, not in the locker room, sauna, etc.)?"

Yeah, I've seen the links from Rentmen profiles to their Onlyfans page. I think that that's the business model for a lot of guys on Twitter; they post some of their nude photos or a 10-second video of a porn scene that they've filmed - and then entice the viewer to join their Onlyfans for the full video.
