The sign looks fine. Sounds like drama over nothing. I enjoy eating there and checking out the items they sell up front. I'm a rewards member as well.

Don't have to do anything of the kind in my career, but continuing education is certainly a requirement and the focus is on other areas. That said, it probably is a combination of both, your employer is likely mandated to provide some sort of training and there are likely some employees that don't really understand the spectrum of "harassment" in various contexts. No doubt a bit of a challenge for you, if done in a repeat manner, but probably a good idea in the end.

Always fantastic to get good quality input from new participants!

There is certainly differing dynamics to this term. Bottoms may be "all in" on being submissive. They may be submissive in general and feel more complete acting out their want or desire to be treated in a submissive manner. Others may not be submissive at all. In fact, some may be type A dominant personalities, but really get off on taking the role of a sub to another in the bedroom. Other men who bottom simply roleplay. They may be a power bottom and lead the top or switch it up and be submissive depending on what their partner (or client) has requested or simply wants. One challenge that remains is that many top men perceive a "submissive bottom" as being a "submissive man" in general. That may or may not be the case.

I am not on here quite as often as last year, but I missed it. Always nice to check in.

I saw this yesterday, very sad indeed.

I have seen this in practice here. Probably for a variety of reasons. First and above all, things in writing can misconstrued very easily, especially if not clear in the first place. Probably wise to consider all comments and response carefully when placing to make sure all clear. Secondly, with differing points of view, experience and focus, very easily to misunderstand what a poster is trying to say. Added to that, people are people, we all come with our own challenges. Some may be resentful or jealous based on perception. I try never to take criticism personally, but I will say I have seen it at play here.

Great to hear the story and certainly sorry to hear he's retiring to Florida. You never know what possibilities may have been had. On the other hand, he gave you years of fantasy and appreciation. Enjoy it for what it is. Some men never get this kind of long term fantasy and you had it for decades. I'd of course want to give him a going away present.

As a provider, I've never had that experience, but my photos are clear and I always try and be concise with all representations. I've only had one experience with a client and a cancellation of a booking. He was 45 minutes late and I had another obligation. 15 minutes can be acceptable (with notice provided via text), but to show up that late. I just told him the truth and that was it.

I do have a friend who does this at his home. He teaches fitness and is nationally known for his focus on long term health issues. I found it curious when he shared some of his hobbies, this being one of them. I was a bit surprised, but he explained how and why. I have come to the conclusion it helps him (or hobbies in general) to be more balanced as an individual. I'm a gardener and work landscaping as one of my hobbies. It all does help.

Interesting conversation, thanks for taking the time to discuss. As a provider, I've had some very "real" intimacy with my clients. I think it is more about the connection between people than whether one pays or not. I really make an effort to convey certain things during the time spent. I think if a provider doesn't care about the experience of his client, he shouldn't be an escort or provider. I'd encourage you to consider exploring this. Whether you pay or not is between both of you. Don't set up expectations, but enjoy the experience with an open mind. You never know what you will find out there. Be optimistic, but realistic.

Interesting information to analyze and review. It does seem to make sense. Would be intriguing to compare "notes" and data from year to year and see about changes.

Always important to remember those who sacrificed. Wet weekend here in the middle of the country. A busy weekend. Wishes to all for a great holiday.

So I have discussed my interest in travel throughout the US Southwest and visiting a number of National Parks. Love New Mexico, Colorado and Utah. It all started with my parents and our visitation of numerous national parks in the west when I was a small child. Now I not only want to return, but to explore more. I talked about my visit of 2 Utah national parks last summer, "Bryce Canyon" and "Zion". We usually do a fitness photo shoot as well as I'm into that. So I've been talking "Yellowstone" and the return for the last 3 years. Weather and infrastructure in the park were problems and so I just decided to go elsewhere. I was there when I was 5 years old and will never forget Old Faithful and the smell. Some things you never forget. So, want to hear from others about what to see when at the park, areas I might want to consider for fitness photo shots and best entrances into the park. I might say the input from a certain member last year was VERY important to my enjoyment of Zion National park. It was all awesome. Thoughts please!

Interesting conversation. My own situation maybe wasn't that atypical. While in college and law school, I basically chose to ignore it. Maybe "not accept" the reality with some sort of inner explanation. We all do that it seems with this or that. As I got into work I certain event came up that made me realize I wanted to address this part of my life and so I did. I don't think I ever have really been one to "worry about others finding out" kind of thing. But I also don't feel the need to make everybody around me aware of my sexual orientation. I do my thing and I live my life with confidence.
