Both of my parent's have had their own unique commentary at times. My mother bringing up "Judas" during moments of discomfort or irritation. Dad much the same. I grew up in a household where some curse words were acceptable, "damn" and "hell" were used by them, but "fuck" would never be uttered. Even if I use it today, I'd be reminded I'm not too old to have my mouth washed out with soap.

I've actually never been to a "bathouse" before. One in Toronto was pointed out to me during one of my visits, but have never been in one. Interesting thread. Good information for those who enjoy them.

Interesting experience. Glad it made you think and you talked about it here. I have seen several men transitioning to women, the last being at Petsmart. I always make never to stare and never act like anything is out of the ordinary in any way. I always tell myself that I need to improve my understanding and never to react in any way, except in an open and friendly way.

Very sad to hear the news that Jimmy Buffett has passed at 76. 9/1/23 Several good friends are "Parrotheads" and I tend to hear the music quite frequently. Always enjoy it. Always will think of him and the "Endless summer" poster I have up in my bar area in his honor. RIP Jimmy!

Sounds like a fantastic time, I'm sure he will appreciate it. A happy weekend.

That's crazy and totally unprofessional. I talk about the need for professionalism at every level. You were a very able, very capable client who could have walked away an advocate for these two ungrateful men. Instead, a bad experience to report. I don't ask for photos from perspective clients, its always nice, but not required and I certainly don't need to know your age. You are hiring the escort, it isn't an approval process by them!

Whatever you elect to do, enjoy and have a fantastic weekend!

Haven't been in Vegas for some time, but know right where you are at! I was at the Bellagio, which was a blast. Have a fun time and a blast!

I raised my rates $50 an hour in the spring, but I hadn't raised pricing since I first started. I actually had a client ask me why I hadn't.

So keeping a healthful "balance" in ones life between work, exercise, family and friends and that which is important to you can be hard enough with a traditional job. For those who escort, how do you keep yours and how do you deal with some of the challenges with an environment that seems to provide anything, but.....balance. How about you clients. Being a fitness advocate at all levels, this is something I strive for in achieving excellent as much as possible. I like to quiz others on what works for them. One thing I've learned, ignore those little things that can cause irritation during the day. There are enough big things to work about in life than worry about things that really have no real importance in the scheme of things.

I hope you continue to improve on your way to fantastic heath and you are able to enjoy time in the gym!

Can't believe the Labor Day weekend is upon us! I always enjoy the summer months, but fall can be pretty awesome as well. Looking forward to a mix of work and some relaxation, time by the pool and work, both in the yard and client related work. Had been invited out of town with friends, but opted out this time. What plans for your weekend?

I’ve discovered that the conversation is part of the “experience “ and it turns them on. Doesn’t mean they won’t book you, butI kind of wonder. I usually curtail the conversation at some logical point. The other reason is they are inexperienced and uncertain. I’d rather pass at some point.

We have a number of family owned funeral homes here in Kansas. I see them all the time and have had family members a part of one. Interesting, but I would agree, I can see why this tradition would also be in decline.

I just chuckled at JT's comments. I haven't been here long enough to know who favors what topic. I've only been since 8/4. No reason to get upset here either. We all have different views, its about sharing ours and respect others. Thanks Benjamin.

I have my views, others have theirs. It is healthful conversation and I like to hear what others have to say. Pretty simple.

Dude, I don’t preach. I do things a certain way as a health and fitness advocate. If you do them differently, be my guest!

That’s awesome, I hope you had a great time

Interesting isn't it, a very personal and deep discussion about something very important to many of us (and finding it on a forum like this). Thank to all of you for sharing. Really awesome.

I will see what is offered. Yeah the one you purchased is a bit premature for me at this stage! LOL

I’d likely have you shaking when I got done with you… haha

I would hope you would be in the majority!

I find this really a great conversation. I'm an educated and professional person. My side work as an escort should reflect who and what I want to convey. That means the basics. Clean, fresh, on time, rested and a positive attitude toward the client. Sounds pretty basic for any kind of business doesn't it? If a provider "entertains" a client, the home or meeting place should reflect that professionalism. If you can't make the booking or aren't sure what the schedule is, the need to communicate that beforehand is important. The client shouldn't ever wonder what is expected as far as the basics of the service itself. In the end, the effort made by the provider for his client to have a great time, is satisfied, got his money worth and ..... would come back!

I assume to make an inquiry about a "lifetime pass", one just needs to contact the National Park Service?

I'm sure we have all had inquires about whether we "PNP" along with our services. Just had a potential client ask me if I PNP and I do groups. Not sure how each of you think about this. If I'm around someone who wants to "party", I generally politely decline. I view it professionally, but more than that. My own health and safety in that setting. I can't imagine being spaced out with someone who I may hardly know. If there is a group involved, even less so. I don't use drugs and have no desire to be around anything beyond Cannabis. The comment from the proposed client was that I would be "missing out" on a profitable time. Thoughts?
