Jockstrap

He was a webcam model 3 or 4 years ago under the name of Ramsses A

He's one of my favourite authors. And yes, it's batshit crazy and an amazing chaotic story. More England-centric but even more entertaining is Lux the Poet. So is Dreams of Sex and Stagediving (although that doesn't have the fantasy edge that works so well in Good Fairies and Lux). Milk, Sulphate and Alby Starvation doesn't quite get there, but has some great parts. Ditto Suzy, Led Zeppelin and Me. I've not had time to read Kink Me Now yet.

Diego Sans, particularly in his long hair phase

Thanks. This is a joint trip with a bunch of old laboratory colleagues from my PhD days so I'll not be looking to meet anyone. Useful to know for the future, though, as the ex-BelAmi guy I saw in Bratislava (DarioDolce) was incredible.

I'm re-reading The Good Fairies of New York by Martin Millar. Absolutely hilarious.

Exactly the opposite. It looks amazing...

I'm heading to Prague to avoid all the Coronation nonsense.

Lots of fun guys on RM in London.

Some previously mentioned films I love: Victim Latter Days Broken Hearts Club The Boys in the Band Priscilla Queen of the Desert plus: Torch Song Trilogy The Fruit Machine To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar My Own Private Idaho But I'm a Cheerleader

Vienna is very close to Bratislava, where one of the best escorts I've ever seen lives: the ex-BelAmi guy DarioDolce.

The threesomes I've had as hookups (always with couples) have always ended up with one person left on the sidelines a bit. Mostly it's one of the couple who's more into it, but sometimes it's the couple who are most into themselves. With escorts, I've done a three way twice. One, in Birmingham, was with a couple who were mostly into each other and it was pretty unsatisfying. Another, in London, was great. We talked about what I wanted beforehand and they did everything on my wishlist and more, after starting with an amazing 4 handed massage. I was definitely centre of attention and it was a great experience.

Absolutely. Without doubt the sleaziest places I have ever been to were the staff areas at some of the big clubs/bars in Manchester or London when I worked in the brewery industry 20-odd years ago. Heaven was a particularly low point. I doubt it's changed that much.

If they're a couple, be prepared for them to be more into each other than into you.

I've been Type 2 for 2 years, thanks to post-COVID. Managed well with Metformin and intermittent fasting. It's the last remaining post-COVID effect (the joint pain/swelling was the worst, lasted about a year after I'd been in hospital with COVID) and after 2 years, I'm resigned to it being permanent. Our diabetes teams (in the UK) use a lot of gliclazide, which I'm not really a fan of. I've seen some terrible hypoglycemic crashes with it. We also use a lot of empagloflazin, which also treats heart failure. A very useful combination for elderly patients with both conditions.

I wouldn't haggle with an escort in exactly the same way that I wouldn't haggle at a cinema or restaurant.

It happened to me once and rung alarm bells. This was a provider I contacted through RM in Munich last year. All his photos were 3-5 years old and he refused to send anything more recent, just said "I still look like this". Then, once we'd agreed a time he asked for a photo (he was coming to me, so no security cam etc. reason). When I said no, he launched into a massive homophobic rant. Bullet dodged...

There's an amazing British film called Victim from the early 60s. Pre-decriminalisation, the plot is all about blackmailers targeting gay men in London. Starred Dirk Bogarde and almost ended his career.

Thinking about it, he didn't let me in til he'd seen me on his door camera. Maybe he screens by appearance? Not sure what he'd have been able to tell about me, mind, as I was all covered up because of the heavy rain.

I did. Mostly 5star. Like you say, maybe I was just lucky.

I went to his place.

There are books I can read over and over and still be entertained: The Last Herald-Mage of Valdemar trilogy by Mercedes Lackey (fantasy with a gay lead character) Drawing Blood by Poppy Brite (beautiful ghost story) Liquor by Poppy Brite (gay couple setting up a restaurant in New Orleans) Blue Heaven/Putting on the Ritz/My Lucky Star by Joe Keenan (laugh-out-loud farces from the writer of Frasier) Lux the Poet/The Good Fairies of New York by Martin Millar (farces with a British punk and fantasy spin) The Watchmen by Alan Moore (iconic graphic novel that reinvented the superhero genre) Forty Years of Murder by Keith Simpson (biography of Home Office pathologist) The Chronicles of Amber by Roger Zelazny

ChrisOfLondon is a nice guy, enthusiastically Vers and great fun in bed. Communication can be challenging, though. He's not great at answering messages and, despite agreeing to meet up and taking a deposit, he cancelled with very little notice. He's fun and good at what he does, but I'd have a backup planned.

I met James Carson last week. Lovely guy, looks like his photos. His English isn't perfect but easily good enough to get by. He was happy to top and did a great job.

That said, I stand by the 5star review I gave him on RM.
