    NYC monkeypox vaccine alerts -- 2nd dose -- 4 week window!

    in Men's Health

    I don't know how many 2nd doses they have or if it'll roll out faster than the 1st shots, but I imagine that they will come out quicker.  If that is the case, then I don't think it'll take as long to get people their 2nd dose...in other words, I think the 10 weeks for a second shot should shorten as they go along, hopefully getting to the 4 weeks that's ideal.  How long that would take though, is anyone's guess.

    Agreed.  I also suspect

    • there will be many more doses available now since one vial goes five times further
    • some folk will forgo that second shot (some due to skepticism of the new dosing and delivery, some because prior infection may count as a "dose", some because they feel one is enough)
    • some folk have already received their second doses, either through another jurisdiction or as a second "first dose"

    I suspect we'll see that window shorten rather quickly.

    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.

    For grins, I got on the site to schedule a second dose (here in NYC) and it says only taking those who had their 1st dose prior to July 3rd.  So, if any of you fall under that...go for it.

    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.

    Do guys flirt or cruise on the Gym Floor (not in the locker room or sauna) anymore?

    I think it all depends on the guy and what his gym goals are.

    There are days when I really don't want to be bothered when lifting.  I'm in the zone and it's a pain in the ass for me to have to stop and make conversation or even look at my phone.  I have Airpods in and a playlist that doesn't require me to screw with my device.  Just a set it and forget it kinda thing.

    Not that I haven't hooked up from a gym (or, yeah, in a gym), but it's not what I expect when I go in.  My main concern is pushing past plateaus and keeping in the best shape I possibly can be.

    Edit:  I also think there's a large subset of the younger generation that doesn't know how to flirt or easily converse on an in-person, intimate level.

    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.

    They’re all on Grindr and they cruise each other but via Grindr!

    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?

    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.)?"

    Is Onlyfans affecting the escort business?

    Unquestionably.

    Also, it appears some RM profiles exist solely for the purpose of promoting a non-escort's OF.

    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.

    IG of professional Brazilian bodybuilder in Miami.

    His Rentmen ad now says NYC. 
    His contact info lists a Miami phone number. 
     

    Maybe he’s the real deal.

    Thanks, @dutchal for finding that thread.  (I did a search before I posted this, but somehow I missed it.)

    It does seem from the posters in the forum that his physique was off the charts when they saw him, so hopefully someone has seen him recently and can validate.

    I don't know what to make of the multiple reviews from the same reviewers (in the thread that you found).  Regardless, I'm getting the impression that Mezzo is the real deal and a nice guy (even though one of our forum members had a less-than-stellar experience.  It happens.)

    Hey guys.  There was a short discussion about Mezzo some time ago, but he's had loads of reviews on Rentmen and Rentmasseur since, so I figured that some more forum members might have seen him recently.

    Looks like a bona fide bodybuilder to me.  

    If anyone has seen him recently, was he ripped and in competition shape?  Did he get into flexing and muscle worship in addition to massage?

    Feel free to PM me with any details that might not be appropriate here.

    Thanks!

    Hi Baron - I am 100 percent believing it.  What would be the source of information about them?  There are only 3 listings on RM, Havana, Cuba.  How does one go about finding the young talent?

    Baron

    Same question about Miami.  Where - other than Rentmen - would you find the hot (rent)boys in Miami?  Any bars where they hang out looking for hookups?

    I was in SoBe last month and was told go go dancers had been suspended until the pandemic gets better. 

    Thanks andymn.

    Anything else to report on the gay nightlife in Sobe these days? I realize that most of the gay scene has moved to Ft. Lauderdale, including some of the strip clubs.  But what’s left of the gay nightlife/gay vibe in Sobe these days?

    I hired him and his partner the other night here in LA for a 4-handed massage.  Both have absolutely amazing bodies.  I can't say if that photo is his (because he now has a few tattoos), but he certainly has the very same body - muscular, lean, probably 4% body fat.  He and his partner are originally from Cali, Columbia.  They live in Miami now. 

    And since everyone will ask, they offer both an erotic massage service (i.e., HE/MT) and full service options.  Not cheap, but I certainly enjoyed myself.

    He's in NYC now.  Has anyone seen him recently?  

    Yes, the photos in his Rentmasseur ad are smoking hot.  But, yes, I looked at the Instagram link provided above - and the photos in the Rentmasseur ad are also in the Instagram account.  The fitness model in the Instagram photos has no tattoos, but Love2GetMassaged mentions that the masseur that he saw DOES have tattoos.

    I'm guessing that the masseur might be using photos of someone with a very similar body, but prefers not to use his own photos.  At least that's what I'm hoping because that body really hits my sweet spot!

    So, has anyone seen him in NYC recently? (Is his body as hot as his photos?)  And any other thoughts, Love2GetMassaged?

    Thanks.
