Speaking selfishly, what would most interest ME is your reflection on what it was like for you then -- in the internet era but pre-app, pre-prep, pre-videocall, etcetera -- and how what it is (and is not) like now. It would also be amazing if you included (or threaded) your own perspective as a client (if you do indeed hire). Also: have you read Don Shewey's Daddy Lover God? Shewey's a great writer and it's a different take on the whole experience. Also David Pevsner's Damn Shame is pretty great. And if you haven't seen the recent film Sebastian, it's a must.

I'm fine with sharing my experience via DM (see my signature) but I don't share anything particularly specific, nor do I ever say anything bad.

Having briefly encountered the gent in question at an event, I'd consider it. Our connection was brief but sexy, sweet, focused, and memorably erotic. Plus he looked better in person than I expected. Which is only to say: if I was in the market to hire at this rate, this gent would be toward the top of my list.

Hopefully @alexslaveboy will chime in. As they say, he knows the territory.

Welcome, @njdude4muscle! Two questions for you: what part of NJ are you in? Are you closer to NYC? Or Philly? (The mention of DolphBB makes me think you're closer to Philly, but I don't want to assume.) have you conferred with @alexslaveboy? He's familiar with the muscled gents in (or passing through) the greater Jersey area...

I met up with Axel a year or two ago. Genuinely fun to talk/be with. Forthright and clear in all communication. More stunning in person, if that's possible. Among the best I've encountered. PS: Axel was still partnered with Damien Wolfe at the time, though it is my understanding that they've since split. PPS: I don't recall that Axel's nips were notably hot-wired, @pleasureseeker. But you should ask.

Understood. Just in Time was originally (conservatively) booked as a bounded run, contingent on Groff's presence in the show. But, yes, if Groff wins the Tony (which he might), I suspect it will soon announce additional ticket blocks through the fall. (Dead Outlaw just announced sales through October and it's not selling nearly as well as Just in Time.)

It's doing fine. According to the numbers posted by the Broadway League for last week, the show was at 103% capacity -- higher than even Clooney's Good Night & Good Luck and Denzel's Othello. The show's been doing a big national media push over the last week or so, so the ads might just be part of a campaign to build buzz for the show, especially among locals as we enter a summer where tourism is expected to be down. BTW: I saw the show. Bought my ticket with very low expectations. But it's far more fun/engaging than I expected and a powerful showcase of everything that's most appealing and impressive about Jonathan Groff. He's just next level in this.

Over the last few weeks, I've become mildly obsessed with The Luxe Mentor, a TikTok creator who -- under the cover of a face-blurring filter -- reflects on his years of experience as a high-end male companion. Curious if any of y'all have brushed up against this gent on your FYP or wherever...

Looking forward to an ATL trip in August. Any updates on the current reality at BJ Roosters? Also, any tips for this longtime stripper enthusiast who'll be hitting BJRoosters for the first time?

Anyone else watching this year's event? A number of crushable performers this year, but none more so -- in my view -- than Theo Van (Cyprus)...

Yeah. Doesn't happen a lot and I always say no -- mostly because I don't like the feeling that @FaustOust described as "auditioning" to be a client. I'm happy to provide an accurate description, and arrange to meet in a public spot, and sometimes I even mention of my handle/profile here or reference to one of my regular hires IF the gent seems mostly wanting to confirm that I'm legit. But I hire to avoid the self-esteem hazards of cruising so I am absolutely not inclined to pay for that as an unadvertised extra...

Agreed. Though I've not yet seen Boop or Smash, I'd prioritize MaybeHappyEnding or (my favorite musical of last season, now arriving to Broadway) DeadOutlaw...

He seems to prefer to use the RM messaging system. As he said to me recently: "I like to chat here first then open to move to text..." Since I was on the road and don't use the RMen website on my phone, it complicated the communication/back-and-forth for me, so our interaction stopped there.

That's my impression too. In addition to being ridiculously hot, Chase is very organized and sensible, so I have high hopes...

As an FYI: the (highly recommended) ChaseVirgo is hosting an intriguing new party/event in Philly on Saturday 3/21. https://www.instagram.com/p/DF5u65DPcXX/ Unfortunately, due to a prior commitment, I'm unable to attend. But here's hoping it becomes a regular thing.

One point of possible relevance: in the reported summaries I've read of the most recent demographic report from the BroadwayLeague, it doesn't appear that they sort the databy borough, esp re theatregoing habits of folks in NYC. So perhaps the producers are overcorrecting for tri-state commuters rather than those from boroughs other than Manhattan.

I think you misunderstand the notion of "commuter"... Plenty of theatregoers live in the great beyond while trekking in to work in the city. As for me, I'm in the city 2-3x a week on weekdays for work or other appointments and, when deciding whether to catch a show or just head home, an earlier curtain time makes a big difference. I can also attest to the many playbills I routinely see in the hands and pockets of folks waiting to board the 10pm trains back to Jersey...

Theatre producers are very alert to the fact that "commuter" theatregoers (those who live beyond NYC in other parts of NY or in NJ/CT) have simply not returned to their pre-pandemic theatregoing habits. Moreover, the periodic surveys that they're constantly sending out have confirmed that those theatregoers are less inclined to choose a show that has a later start time or longer running time that will require them to take a later train/bus. So they're not only thinking about NYers or tourists, but also those dreaded bridge/tunnel/burb-dwellers (like me) who have historically made up a substantial subset of the regular ticket-buying audience... As for me, I love a 7/730 curtain as much as I love an 8pm curtain. I also love an 830pm curtain and a 5pm curtain. I love a 2pm matinee as much as I love a 1pm or a 3pm matinee -- whether on Saturday, Sunday, Wednesday or even Thursday. I just wish there was a theatre listing service that allowed you to sort the available options by curtain-time...

Strikes me as a likely "house party" situation, not something in an actual bar or event space. BuffDaddy runs comparable pop-up events in Philly, with the location info shared only through direct communication.

I had what felt like a relatively light -- if quite gratifying -- year and my total nearly matches yours, especially after I factor in my forays to Adonis/BuffDaddy events. But that's typically not counting hotel/etc costs, because hiring is "an extracurricular" and not the primary purpose for most of my travel. And though I'd happily join the #DesperatePerv crew, I suspect I'm more of a #ContentedlyAveragePerv...

Any recent intel on Vegas options? And thanks for that summary overview of the big shows, @Nicedice!
