Related but off topic a bit... what is the appeal of an overnight? Maybe I'm being too literal but if we have dinner, wrestle for a couple hours, cuddle, sleep, wake, wrestle again, shower, and separate. Is that an overnight? Am I paying for sleep? Or os it like a sleepover where we play PS2 until dawn? How is it different from a BFE? Am I missing a great experience?

Big spenders. For me, about 1500 a year the last few years. I'm selective and make it a pretty big event in my mind when it does happen (for good and bad). Except for two escort experiments in three years, I just hire bodywork. There's one provider, my first, it turns out, that I'd return to over and over but he no longer lives in a city I'd regularly visit for work, so even more difficult to coordinate - and that has cut me back, along with disappointment in a succession of "substitute" providers who were okay but overall 'meh' in both the massage and vibe check departments. But if my #1 were local, I'd budget 5x that amount just for him.

He advertises shirtless on RM and indicates he is discrete. I don't need a therapeutic provider to be discrete if I'm just going in to work out a few knots. My gaydar is the worst of anyone I know (I'm constantly surprised by revelations) and even I know. He's feeling things out.

Can someone who is "down with the kids" explain, using words common to the 80s and 90s, what the what about a balding kid, a wig, and a cap... and what a mog is and... well, everything? https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/influencer-androgenic-exposed-viral-cap-snatch-1780717

I read something once that makes perfect sense, in this or (especially) the political sphere: "Once you understand the psychological concept of projection, the world starts to make more sense."

"Arbitrary" is not what we are talking about, so that still feels like a double standard. If clients are allowed to define "pros" as those required to take all comers, then why should clients expect limits to certain acts, behaviors, or levels of hygiene? We accept those limits, but not providers' "shallower" preferences. Consent, for any reason, is paramount and doesn't end with the promise of a Venmo payment.

Unpopular opinion: The mainstream "isms" don't apply in this business. Folks I would consider for desk jobs and folks I would consider for hand jobs is not apples to apples. Undefensible bias is not the same as physical preference. We clients have to give providers some slack to establish boundaries as we too select providers based on photos and brief bios.

I just checked and I'll be there on the 19th, a week before the parade but just the night before Pride Fest. Now I'm really concerned about crowds, especially at SW. Thoughts, @BeamerBikes, @ceej, anyone? Should I stick to the bars and street scene for the vibe or are bigger SW crowds better for my voyeuristic intent? When to check in to avoid lines? How busy is busy? "I drink and (overthink) things."

Apparently. As they told us in middle school, abstinence is the only guarantee.

Yeah, again, it is considered a mild infection and common among roughhousing kids, and teammates apparently. (I'm very nearly an expert now, as things growing on one's willy tends to get one googling like a Karen trying to justify not vaxxing her kids. 😒)

Who else was going to design all those Fab👏U👏Lous furs and loin cloths?

Fair point. I did read that when the bumps are found around the genital area in children, its a marker for physicians to investigate SA. But yes, I said that because its also spread through more or less casual contact. In fact I allowed that other 5% possibility from the health club. But I think that's more "pregnancy from a toilet seat" territory than a real likelihood.

Relatedly, I knew a guy in high school who proudly declared support for gay men because it improved his chances of scoring with girls... as it reduced the number of guys on the field, sort to speak. It didn't make sense of course, but he was hardly the type to pour over Kinsey studies to check his theories.

So I was just at the dermotologist after discovering bumps on my shaft. Viral infection, MCV, not a big (sex) life changing issue, but contagious. The bumps are painless but aestheically displeasing. Not an STI per se but troubling. I had four frozen off. Given my intimate knowledge of my own sexual history (such as it is) and the incubation period, I am 95% certain of the provider who passed it to me. So, obviously, my first reaction is to let the provider know. However, the symptoms are just bumps. No pain, no oozing, just bumps. Without treatment, it resolves in a year but as long as bumps are visible, it is contagious. I had mine removed to eliminate the contagion and to prevent self-recurrence. The provider may be aware. Its not deadly, herpetic, or even HPV. It could resolve on him in weeks (if he's had it awhile) or months (if he too had just contracted it.) I doubt its worth shelving (for him) escort work but he could simply indicate therapeutic massage work while things go their course. That would be the most responsible thing for him IMO but I take responsibility for my own health and behavior. This is why I'm cautious generally. I'm mostly a side that insists on safe play when it happens. I understand the risks, so I've gone the LTR and paid service routes since starting to explore MSM adventures a few years ago - for a modicum of additional confidence. I came of sexual age when HIV was acknowledged as spreading to 'genpop'. Forget middle school filmstrip illustrations. We jumped from pregancy and herpes scares to almost certain death between my 14th and 18th years. Maybe paranoia and PTSD but absolutely no random BB for me. And as a provider, you may be on meds for the worst thing STIs and HIV , but even if I trust "negative, on prep" (a big if) can I trust the last client they were with? So, there it is. My first virus spread by sexual contact and its not even an STI. My sex life is tragically vanilla. (Tragically, and thankfully.) I'm going to let the provider know (notification, not accusation) but I won't be returning. Be safe out there. Especially you guys dealing with the public. Thank you for your service. 😉

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?
