I don't think Adonis has updated that page in many years. It's just for getting on the mailing list now

Curious, do you use condoms for oral also?

The "straight" guys who have selective mutism triggered by dabbling with other guys are the worst. Every one has their own very specific limits, expect you to read their minds and bolt the second anything else happens outside of those uncommunicated parameters. I don't miss those early days when I was messing around with them in bookstores.

I'm talking about someone who may not ever have the cognitive skills to comprehend what happened. Nonverbal, not able to communicate beyond whether they need food or to go to the bathroom.

Yeah not saying it's any less horrific what the abusers are doing, just that there's some hope the victims aren't necessarily perceiving it as suffering, depending on what happened. They should still fry.

I have a profoundly autistic relative and the fact he wouldn't be able to communicate something like this if it happened to him haunts me. On the flip side, he might not actually realize anything was wrong.

Never been to see the person but I'm pretty sure a couple of those pictures are over 20 years old. I've seen ads with that guy over the years but never took the plunge. If it's him, he's no less than 60 by now. And probably well over that.

It is kind of funny they're all sending each other dick pics but are afraid to change in front of each other.

You went on a little too long in the encouragement there IMO. Probably spooked him. Gotta keep it short and move on. "Good grief if I looked like you I'd never wear a shirt!"

Good grief people. 15 minute "privates" with Gaiety dancers were 150 bucks a quarter century ago. It's far from extravagant for a 1-hour massage. You don't tip a restaurant percentage for the kind of "service" you're expecting.

As for making it clear when you get there, declining any draping is also a signal.

Eh I think just letting them know what site you found them on is clue enough as to what you are looking for. If they list the rate you could, I suppose, confirm that. In general, the more explicit you are the more likely you are to spook them.

Um, I'm assuming the mask was so as to not be recognized. Some people have jobs that could be at risk if they are seen at such a protest.

In NYC about 20 years ago a hospital ran a pilot program to aggressively intervene with diabetics, providing them with nutrition counseling and additional followups, more coverage of the supplies, etc. And the patients had fantastic results...fewer heart attacks and amputation. But the dirty little secret is that heart attacks and amputations have a much higher profit margin and the intervention program was in the red. So they dropped it.

It's several things combining. Schools used to make kids shower( I suspect that was a backdoor public health requirement - some didn't have access to a shower at home and just making everyone shower got those kids clean without singling them out) so more people "got over it" earlier. Also with larger families back in the day most kids shared bedrooms and changing in front of someone else was not an unusual occurrence. But also increased awareness of "the gays" likely did lead some guys to cover up more. Schools stopped making kids shower, then they carried their hangups with them to college and because college is now a consumer experience, market forces took out the gang showers. So most guys get to their mid 20s never having been naked in front of someone.

Look, there's reasonable doubt, and there's shadow of a doubt and those two things are not the same. Is it POSSIBLE he didn't do it? In the sense that theoretically almost anything COULD happen, yes. Is it LIKELY? No. Him not being the perp requires a whole lot to have happened that we don't seem to have seen any signs of.

The thing about mental illness is people can look perfectly rational on the outside for periods of time. Relatively few people are clearly lunatic 24/7. I have some relatives with bipolar and most of the time they seem perfectly fine. But when they aren't, they aren't. The other interesting thing is something about mania interferes with memory formation. So one of them has zero recollection of the incidents that cause people to distance themselves from her.

I mean, there's still some possibility this is a psychotic break on his part which might explain the apparent gaps in planning. He's at the age where it often first manifests. Then again he's also at an age where a lot of men in particular think they are smarter than everyone else. He also could have not been trying hard to get away out of curiosity how long it would take.

You'd think he'd at least have colored his hair to change his appearance.

You're illustrating my point here. The finishing touches on these houses add little to cost of construction but add a lot to the sales price and cost of maintenance. Nobody builds starter homes any more not because there aren't people who will buy them, but because someone else will pay more for a slightly nicer looking house. But those people who would have bought a starter house are stuck renting(and rent control outside of NYC is rare).

If you click on appointments it takes you to their scheduler and if you click on the treatment you want then you select a provider and then you get to their available dates/times.

This. A lot of people who are relatively well off really have no idea how much things have gotten worse for the have nots. Life in this country is increasingly a lottery of birth. I think part of the problem is that there are a number of visible things that are vastly better and people incorrectly infer that therefore everything is similarly better. To wit: when I was a kid a 25 inch color TV cost 500 bucks. Today you can get a 50 inch flat-screen for half that. Vast improvement. But housing relative to income is vastly more expensive. Average income doubling means nothing if all of the aggregate increase went to 10 families at the top. And then if prices went up, the country as a whole is worse off, not better. I'm one of 6 kids raised by parents who fell almost out of the middle class when I was about 5. They cobbled together enough income from two shitty jobs each to keep the roof over our heads and we all managed to go to college. 5 of us graduated. I look at the cost of living in my town now and don't see how it would be possible for a couple to do what my parents did. And of the 6 kids, I and my younger sister are the only ones likely to be really financially stable in retirement. One will pretty much certainly be relying on me to keep her off the street, another is a cheapskate and resourceful so he'll manage, and another will probably scrape by. The other is already in a nursing home on Medicaid, and I'm terrified of what havoc is going to be wreaked on that system, because it would take me down too if her care suddenly stopped being covered.

Looks like a couple are on the New Paradise schedule now.

Anyone know if he's still around?

Perp walks should generally be banned IMO. How are they anything but prejudicial to potential jurors?
