it's not that everyone is bi, but I think at LEAST 25-30% are bi under the right circumstances, which means if you hit on a lot of straight dudes, you're likely to get a decent amount of action

Just get a lapdance. A lot of times if they are available they will offer you their number unprompted.

Straight dumb guys can be fun. Straight dumb guys who are doing it from a place of desperation rather than "hey this is easy money" makes me sad and also a bit nervous and I try to steer clear.

The taps from thousands of miles away are usuall bots. They hack the location function so it's not working properly. Often you will look at them 10 minutes later and the distance has changed some impossible amount. But there is also a function to look at profiles in another city, so it could be a real person who will be visiting and using that. But it's probably a bot trying to get you to follow an outside link to a pay website or some malware that will take over your phone, so in general block and move on.

Maybe it was something you ate that day?

Some of the dancers are definitely bolder than others. I'm a little surprised that a straight guy would initiate sucking though. That makes me think he was telling you what he thought you wanted to hear...

Sorry, I should have said "aren't what you're looking for." I just meant it's not going to be physically possible to do what you want to at the nude parties.

Rich is gay or possibly bi but def into guys. A few are gay I'm reasonably sure but tbh i don't usually bother to ask the question. I think there are straight guys who enjoy being felt up and so can give a good lapdance.

If you want to be able to scan the scene quietly from a corner, the nude parties aren't for you. Go to Evolve, get there before the show starts, and snag yourself a seat at the bar. You can use the mirror to look around...

I went there. It's better than the last place in that it's not as narrow, but it's still pretty snug for the number of people. But what's Tim supposed to do realistically? He needs a certain number of dancers to make sure people come, and there need to be a certain number of clients to ensure the dancers can make money. I really doubt there are any larger venues that aren't in buildings that don't want this type of business. Short of making it a truly private guest-list-only event with a high admission, I don't see the limitations of the current setup being able to be addressed. NYC is not friendly to this business at all and we're lucky to get what we get.

It gets a little confusing that some of the dancers introduce themselves by something other than the stage name Tim picks for them...like I'm pretty sure Drago told me he was Ivan....

But is that an "addiction" as it's clinically known or is it a manifestation of OCD or "stimming?"

Regarding the crowding it's just an unfortunate reality of Manhattan real estate, I don't think that aspect of it is something we can reasonable expect to improve barring either a real estate crash opening up other spaces, or a very well-heeled patron with a fetish opening up his space to Tim. I think there was only one venue that wasn't wall-to-wall people and it lasted about a year.

I think there's a difference between habit and addiction. Like I think plenty of people who get classified as "addicted" to porn are perfectly fine when for some reason or another they don't have access to it for a while. You don't have withdrawal symptoms.

Some people seem to be using "gender" as a synonym for "personality."

New Paradise Men's Spa does trimming and waxing or sugaring. Waxing lasts longer, but if you have sensitive skin, you're going to have breakout issues. I got massive back acne when I tried to get my back sugared(like waxing only with a sugar paste that's at a lower temperature so supposedly less irritating).

How much if that figure is people who just died a year or two early, or if they did die very early, did so with a sudden heart attack and didn't at least linger for years costing hundreds of thousands of dollars? I mean, it's cheaper to die of a massive heart attack than to live long enough to have yearslong bouts of cancer.

The time jump just makes everything make no sense. Setting it in present day when Murray Bartlett was 5 years old in 1976....

Yes, they are part of Amazon, and many of the zappos people were unhappy when that happened, because they were a much more...um, cheerful workplace culture and now Amazon is kind of assimilating them into the Borg.

Many, many men compartmentalize sex, this shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who's seen what goes on in gym steam rooms or bookstores. I think there are men who have had sex hundreds of times with other men without exchanging a single word or knowing the partner's name. I think for some of them it's really just a form of enhanced masturbation. It feels good, so they do it.

I would assume "rimming" means they are open to being rimmed and not necessarily the reverse. It's not that hard to figure out why. Let's be real, not everyone has a camera-ready asshole, I've been sent some downright scary-looking pictures on Grindr. Hell, someone blocked me after I suggested he see a doctor because he appeared to have perianal warts.

I once saw a dating profile where under the "likes" someone said "Myself and people like me." ugh.

I understand doing the hookup for the bucket list, but I find it creepy when couples start deliberately trying to look identical. Seems narcissistic.

What's depressing is going to Vegas and the only people hitting me up on Grindr are the escorts...

Have y'all considered the possibilty they were your unknown half-siblings?
