Just communicated with Pierre, who reports that he'll be in NYC for much of the month of August.

I wouldn't be mad if one of y'all felt inclined to share this gent's IG with me via PM...

@Mount N Do? Do you have any insights to share? (My interest has been piqued as well.)

In their own place. And I'm generally into beefy guys over 30, but have been known to enjoy all sorts. Quality of connection (attentiveness, engagement, professionalism) matters to me more than type...

I like to tip. And generally prepare myself to do so before the session begins. (These days, it's usually in the ballpark of 13%, depending on the gent's hourly fee.) Mostly, I slide the tip into the compensation packet after the session, while the gent is freshening up and/or dressing to leave. In the post-meeting exchange of courtesy texts, some gents note and express their appreciation for the bonus. Some do not.

I'm looking to book a weekday afternoon massage this week in midtown Manhattan. I figure there should be lots of options but, given that I don't usually hire for massage, I find I'm not especially adept at figuring out how to figure out who's working from where.

I just miss Mark...

Curious if anyone here is following this show on MTV? (I'm just starting it today...)

Totally hear you on the tedious thing, @LeonTrotsky. I think I'll start a new thread for Are You the One to see if there's interest...

I'm a pretty stubborn BB watcher, but I don't think I can do it this cycle. The casual racism and toxic-bro stuff is just wearisome. Perhaps as a replacement, I am experimenting with this show on MTV.

@alexslaveboy: I think 200lbs is actually probably about right. He's lean but not slender. Definitely substantial, with a really strong attitude (not in a bad way, mind you). I was surprised to see that he was in his early 20s (which someone else here confirmed was true) because he felt more seasoned than that. I seem to recall that someone said he's in the mix (on RM and at Adonis & BuffDaddy's) when he's between exclusive relationships with generous patrons. I can't remember the name we used when the forum discussed him before but here is his expired ad.

I met him at an Adonis event a year or so ago. At that time, he was definitely on the lean side.

Any intel on this Orlando gent? Killian Knox: https://rent.men/KillianKnox

I suspect you'd do well (A) if you were willing to "stay open" between 3-6am and (B) if you ran a listing on the apps. And, depending on the location/campus, if you'd be willing to spot for Lyft/Uber...

@ncc1701d -- as I read your most recent, I wonder if there's a word or phrase missing?

I just had an encounter that was 90% "non intimate" -- dinner, a show, walking around the city -- and, for me, it was mostly about enjoying the time together (and to give him the opportunity to see a show he truly loves)... I suspect very few folks noticed us or me (though I did see some folks clocking him) but I got no "armcandy" jollies out of the experience, nor was I seeking any.

twink pits!

So sorry to miss this one. I have a soft-spot for this odd little show and suspect that the Encores format is perfect for it.

Putting aside one's feelings about GoFundMe, the timing of the father's retraction of financial support places this young man in a complicated snarl. To be clear, in order for this young man to have received the measure of financial aid from his chosen school that he did, the father would have had to complete and sign a fairly complex form, confirming his financial relationship to his son. Putting aside the fact that most admissions cycles are long-closed for the 2019-20 school year, any 4year college (public or private) that this young man attempts to attend this fall will use that same fairly complex financial form to assess the measure of loan and grant eligibility. By the time this form is due for the 2020-21, this young man will likely be able to be considered financially non-dependent on his father (unless the father continues to claim his as a dependent on his tax forms). I mean, if I knew this kid, I'd encourage him defer enrollment from his school of choice to take what is today called a "gap year" and spend the time getting financially untethered from his father so that he can be considered for more comprehensive financial aid next year. But, as I did, I'd also try to be kind to a clearly naive and sheltered 18yo just graduating high school who has just had a pretty big rug pulled out from under him. As for that controlling, cruel, self-centered prick (exhibitA) of a dad... no kindness for him.

I think in the old days of the Gaiety/ShowPalace it wasn't unheard of for gents to meet clients between shows, but those venues were configured very differently than most contemporary gogo or stripping situations.

WOW. @Lookin's "The Cat in the Drawers" is quite extraordinary... (The laundress stanza rhyming heiress/terrace will likely give me giggles for a while...)
