Ooo. You can explore my etymology anytime. Dip that big red felt tip into my Oxford comma and stroke my dangling participle. I'm putty in your hands.

As a protestant/secular high school kid when we moved to New York from the west coast I loved the abundant holidays schools would or could close for. The more obscure Jewish holidays, almost weekly Catholic holidays (I first learned about Maudy Thursday) and a spattering of Muslim, Hindi, and other days off, or at least days optional, or days spent learning about the holiday... which were very 'light' days, even in high school.

Do you still draw?

I had to make a presentation about a subject of my choice for Spanish class and I chose my experience modeling. The rote, "Donde esta la biblioteca" became "?!Donde esta tu ropa!?" I've read about medical models as well, who volunteer for hands on physicals, yes, that type of physical. I should ask an old roommate about that, he became a physician.

@Italiano was a congressman back then. "Circle Jerk"

I've inherited my old man's eyebags... he had surgery to correct his eventually not because of vanity (maybe a little) so much as they pulled his lower lids down and dried his eyes. I'm on my way it seems. What OTC creams have worked for you? There are so many on the market and the one I have does nothing. I'd like to put off any surgery as long as possible.

I'm a night owl, but my man, if I'm still there at midnight, I've fallen asleep. 🤣

I think thats a perfectly reasonable take for a desired outcome. But it will take legislative action protecting artists in all fields against abuse and especially AI (as the recent Hollywood strike revealed).

I'm reading the Boys In the Boat online so of course the algo pushed this photo of a 1930s Yalies crew to me in a social feed, unsolicited. I've added a snippet from the book as well. Taken together, I have a new sports interest...

I've heard lines develop, when should I get there to get in and explore before the crowd?

Odd take. Its not a monopoly. You can't gouge prices when there's a number of alternatives. But even if so, you're suggesting they gouge studios instead, so you can more easily afford them? Further, unless you've a strong following as this guy has, demanding more from studios ain't gonna happen. Horny young people for whom a $500 scene is month-, if not life-, changing money, will always be available. Also... one and done... when I was consulting, if somebody wanted an hour of my time, they paid $650. If they needed a project done or were going to retain me for several weeks, that rate would fall as low as $180 an hour. Studios can and do rehire performers for additional work. Same concept.

Something I've not seen mentioned here except perhaps implied by @BenjaminNicholas is the provider's perspective. If he has a successful OF and porn "brand" he gets to be exceptionally picky about who he sleeps with - likely even with the studios. Translating that to escort work, I'd charge what I could to pick the best clients, and short of asking for photos and a health screening, a high rate would attract (not always, my point is not absolute) a likewise discerning atypical client. A bad movie loaded with star power with a similar theme is the 90s flick "An Indecent Proposal".

Have a lovely evening in, and then have him paint your house.

Yup, this looks like my body in college. Would have given my last dime to have had 20 more pounds on my frame at the time. Today I've added 40 to it. Ah, glories of aging.

Your poster modeling job reminded me that I was late 20s having dinner on the patio of a casual mexican place when a male stripper performed for a bachelorette party. It must have been late because I was just a witness at another table with a buddy and AFAIK no kids around. (Not a private room, weirdly.) No big "sexy cop" reveal or anything, I don't recall even noticing his entrance until the girls started screaming. Some gyrations in a speedo for a couple minutes and then what appeared to be his chaparone (a guy his age that sat away from the action and seemed annoyed) gave him a robe. I mention it because at the end he made a loud show of the fact that he was a model in a college issue of Playgirl, passed it around, and presented the bride with a signed copy. I remember he was very full of himself and faked humility but in my memory had no particular right to be so proud..., but maybe that was my jealousy that he a, was in Playgirl, and b, got damn near naked in the middle of a restaurant. It's a weird circumstance but that's the way I remember it. Besides, if it weren't out in the open, how did I ever see it? The 90s, man. I wish I'd have been more aggressive with continuing my model work when my hair had color and my skin was taut but by then I was "building a career".

In a few months I will find myself alone in Chicago on a Friday afternoon and evening. I could hire a massage or escort, but I was thinking I'd try something new(d). I was thinking of going to Steamworks as an observer or, at best, a side. Never been to a men's spa and it'd be idle curiosity and voyeurism. I'm a fit-ish otter but too old to be of much interest to most guys anyway. I'd get there in the late afternoon and stay for several hours, renting a room. Can I just Uber there with ID, phone, beach shoes/sandals and a bit of cash in pocket (for entry and vending? The rules I've read are very anti-drug (check) but also assume folks will carry quite a lot in. I won't have anything except shoes, the rest in pocket. If I put my clothes and phone in the room does it lock? Friday nights are reasonably busy I'd assume so I could be pretty anonymous in the corner of a room. I know after a time I'd get the lay of the land but it seems towels are worn mostly. Is it worthwhile for an older less experienced curious guy to check off a bucket list or should I stick to massages or escorts? Or are there meet-ups or other things to consider?

Really? I may need to invent a business trip to the coasts. Of course, if I charge, the whole thing is a write off anyway... (I'm in Michigan.)

Have you posed in the buff? Would you today? I'm asking because an acquaintance is modelling at an art school in his city. He's a regular, weekly 2 hour lab sessions for students in sculpture and charcoal. He's late 40s, reasonably fit, a free spirit (think, burning man), so not a surprise. I think he just enjoys the experience as I'm pretty sure he doesn't need the money. He has cheekily posted some of the work to social media and much of it is very... detailed. So, I've been a bit of a nudist and exhibitionist from my youngest days - toddlerhood on up -I'm told that at maybe 4 years old I once escaped my babysitter's grasp after bath time and ran into my folks' dinner party screaming "naked baby, naked baby"-I was looking for a goodnight kiss from my folks. (Years later, around 2005, I was at a dinner party and the neighbors' three young sons nonchalantly jumped in the pool in the same state of undress and then casually approached the tables to pick fruit off charcuterie trays. It was amusing. Mom and dad were nonplussed. Brothers...). Decades ago now, I posed for an art class at my university a few times, maybe just three. My female cousin was in one of the classes - that's how I knew they were offering decent money (for a college kid). Of course she'd seen me naked many times before and after puberty because, well, if you can't be naked visiting relatives, where can you be naked? A couple times she, my girlfriend (her roommate) and her girlfriends would also go to the "res" - what passed for a beach - with their boyfriends and then of course, most of us guys, drunk and rowdy after sunset, would find our way into the water for horseplay in underwear or naked depending on each of our confidence, nakedness, and drunkeness. Once or twice the ladies joined us but bra and panties were the order of the day for them IIRC. Nothing more lascivious than that, I'm still naked often, sometimes at a resort, k-spa, always in a hotel room (for some reason), but I sometimes wonder if I could scratch that itch posing for folks for this art school workshop. Or maybe at a college... because when I think about it, it might be hard to find willing bodies now that no one even dresses out for school sports anymore. I dunno. It wouldn't be for the money, so it might seem a bit creepy (I'm a decade older than my acquaintance and not quite the free spirit he is) that an old guy poses for shits and giggles.

Yes, can we talk about sex, including those already-dated slide shows in middle school health class? The ones with the oozing STD sores? Especially on "pizza day" in the cafeteria. 🤌

It's Florida. Plus, palmetto bugs and german roaches are not the same. Which did they see? If you have a house, you have rats. If you have a restaurant, you have rats and roaches. I had a relative who lived in a nice doorman-monitored apartment 21 STORIES above Columbus Circle and she had roaches. All for $2400 a month in 1990 dollars. There's an old joke that says "if you want to lose weight, eat only Chinese food, but enter through the kitchen." I used to play poker with my town's health inspector. He once advised that "if you stay out of (area known for authentic ethnic, family run restaurants) and avoid (alas, my favorite Chinese place in another area) you'll be pretty much okay." My neighbor used to do QA for a junk food company. Look up how many rat hairs the gub'ment allows per cup of tomato sauce. Honestly. A roach? Unappetizing but hardly a biohazard. (Plus, what would they have the server do? Scream and run, fog the area? I don't think I'd say much more except to clarify roach v palmetto, apologize, and palm the carcass in a napkin.) Sushi restaurants are different but frankly pests vs bad fish is a toss up. And sushi is delicious.

The "anti-Trump"? How prescient.

I'm an older guy so I just tend to look at older dudes, my peer group. I appreciate a young stud aesthetically but I feel... I dunno, a bit leacherous if I were to hire anyone young enough to be my son or nephew. That's just me, not a judgement. Plus since there's a lot of age shaving online, it still gives me plenty of options.

Maybe not a skier but I know of a french pole vaulter with some regret.

Now going by Primal Play, FYI. https://rent.men/PrimalPlay
