WELCOME HOME. 😋

Thanks @Maxx00 for the excellent report. Good to hear the place is busy (and that it still qualifies for the "full nudity" list!)

Great report Maxx. Buffdaddy doesn't like the smoking situation 😒.  Yes you would  think 2024. I guess the local police are not enforcing the 2am closing time. I use to promote at a bar in Scranton PA. They had the clocks set 20 min ahead. One night the cops did come in like 10 min after 2am to make sure  no drinks were being served. I'm glad the place was busy. I still  wanna make a trip there. 

So, quick update: Stopped by briefly on Friday night around 1:30am, knowing they close at 2am (if Yelp is to be believed). I was shocked how busy they were at that time! Took far too long to find street parking, especially with the way streets are set up in Pittsburgh.
Anyway, finally made it in at 1:45am and the place was packed, almost uncomfortably so. They showed no signs of shutting down for the night. Made my way to the stairs and the second floor was even more crowded, mostly men but a few women. There were, indeed, four completely naked guys dancing on this tiny square bar, pretty much one at each corner, all appearing to be in their early 20s. One with a partial sleeve tat was HOT, lean but muscular. Another with dark curly hair was extremely cute, twinkish but defined. The third was cute and standing at attention the whole time. He seemed to be really enjoying himself. The fourth was not what I would consider to have the body for this work, but more power to him.  There were a few more shirtless guys in the crowd but not sure if those were other dancers or just patrons getting in the mood.
As I mentioned, it was packed and difficult to move around or even find a place to stand where you wouldn’t be in the way of someone else trying to move. Couldn’t get anywhere near the bar. Oh, and smoking is definitely a thing at this place. Having had lung issues in the past, knew I would need to be careful. Can’t believe this still exists in 2024. The bar room was pretty small but across the hall was an even smaller room with a few standing tables. Wasn’t as crowded but that’s not what you come to see.
After about 10 minutes of feeling really uncomfortable in such a smoky, crowded place, and getting a good look at the dancers, I fought my way through the crowd and out the door. Never heard anything about a last call or any indication that they were closing soon. Maybe the closing time is dependent on the crowds. Found out the next day there was a pride parade the next day so that may have contributed to the crowds. Was going to go again Saturday but, with the crowds I experienced Friday so late and it lacking the potential of a more “personal” experience (and my hotel around 30 mins away) I decided to pass. I may stop by earlier on Sunday before I leave town Monday morning. I’ll update if anything different to share.
So, in short, too crowded, too smoky, mostly cute nude dancers. Glad I went, but nothing to make a special trip over. The experience I had at BJ’s a couple weeks ago may have spoiled me. 😁

There's a lot of guys on Grindr who claim to offer massage+fun meets and "only" require a small deposit.
Most of these are scams to get your credit card information.
Half the time it's obvious because they forget they're trolling in the US and they quote in Euros

Aging has zero to do with bad karma.   I know plenty of ugly assholes who constantly tempt fate.
That said, age catches up to everyone. 
If you can't find a way to transition from a cute young guy to a handsome older man, it can be a rude awakening.

That’s horrible providers respond to you this way. Pervasive ignorance around disabilities makes life much harder.
I see clients with disabilities, both physical and neurodivergent. One of my regulars has cerebral palsy. Another is on the autism spectrum. One has parkinson’s disease. Some others use a wheelchair, cane, or other assistive devices for various conditions.
My studio is not 100% accessible by California standards, but I chose it in part because it has accessibility features. Everyone benefits because it makes things easier to use, whether you have a disability or not. My architect background informs so much of what I do! I like my disabled clients and want them to feel comfortable and welcome. Any provider worth your time will do the same.
Disabled clients want escort services and massages the same as everyone else. I see accommodating them no differently than accommodating other needs and preferences. I help them on and off the table, transferring to the shower, and getting dressed. Many times they don’t want help with things like getting dressed, as this is a way for them to maintain their autonomy. In that case I allow more time for them to do what they need to do, and remain patient while a client does tasks a little slower than others.
Andrew Gurza puts out a lot of interesting content around being gay and disabled. He talks frankly about sexuality and openly about hiring. Anyone interested in these topics might check out his podcast Disability After Dark.
Disabilities manifest in so many different ways. You don’t always know by looking at someone that they are disabled. My partner, for instance, suffers from many chronic conditions. I won’t get into it all of the medical specifics here, but basically he has physical limitations, like he can’t sit, stand, walk, or drive for long periods. No step ladders or anything requiring balance or significant coordination. No heavy lifting. He works half time from home because that’s the most he is able to do. He spends a lot of his time recovering from physical exertion, even from basic daily life activities when he pushes himself too hard. You would never tell by meeting him for a few minutes or passing by him in a grocery store. He started using a cane recently, so maybe you would see that, but he is embarrassed to use it outside our home. He’s only 43 years old.
We need more compassion and understanding toward one another. This work requires empathy, respect, and adaptability. We serve everyone. Online we focus so much on how different we are on the surface. At the end of the day, we’re all just people. People with people needs. I may not be saving the world, but approaching this work the way I do gives me a strong sense of purpose.
Good providers will not shun clients with disabilities. Try to shake off cruel commentary as best you can. Keep looking. We exist, and we care.

Yes, indeed, I'm looking for a guy (to hire) for years. My search started befor covid, I always write in de first message I'm in a wheelchair because I have a muscle disease. All guys I contacted didn't reply or didn't want to meet. Last year a guy replied "I don't do diseases"....
 
 

Me: guilty as charged…
Now please get out the handcuffs.
