And I was unaware of Gaten Matarazzo's musical bona fides.

I can see why. Very intriguing cast... Cheyenne as Wolf/Prince & Shanice as Red, especially.

Just booked a place to stay for next year's gathering! Not sure I'll be able to swing it but, since I had to put down a non-refundable deposit, here's hoping!

If you ever decide to each a class on the topic/technique of Guido-chasing, @studchaser, please sign me up!

Maybe my all-time favorite guido scene is this video from MaverickMen

I don't know a lot about CTW, @Kman, and most of what I do know comes from the ongoing coverage of the crisis on HBO's Real Sports. That said, my first thought upon seeing your question was: "hasn't it been shown/suggested that CTE exacerbates -- or is exacerbated by -- a predisposition toward mental illness?" A quick search yielded this article that does suggest the interplay of the conditions might be a factor.

my masculinity isn’t frail & I love all men Get me that on a pink tshirt, @hypothetically! I'd love to wear it to the gym.

Yes. Because.

@Kman -- sorry to hear what you're working through, but very impressed that you're doing so with such openness and clarity. Not sure that it will be useful, but your experience with your friend put me in mind of this recent article, which I found to be a powerful account of experiencing a loved one's mental illness. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/08/magazine/cousin-kill-me-male-violence.html

I get this ad on FB all the time. The product's of no interest to me, but the way the light catches his pit hair always catches my attention...

But searching "Kellan Lutz package" does yield a pleasant array of views... http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IeEkufcr8sg/S-9nTrAmH6I/AAAAAAAARE4/W0hq8uuW3YM/s1600/kellan-lutz-vpl5.jpg And, yes, Lutz is slated to appear as part of the ensemble of a new CBS show called FBI: Most Wanted

I've worked with four trainers in three different cities (all in their mid20s) since I started getting serious about 4 years ago. All four have been totally hot, totally straight, and totally gay-affirming (ie chill/comfortable). All counted a number of middle-aged gay dudes among their clients.

the previous play was Afterglow. Here's the website (with ticketing information) for Safeword. Tickets are also reliably available on TDF.

@Rudynate - that's exactly what I'm struggling with in a coaching process I'm doing right now. (Except, for me, it's not skinny/big but fat/fit.) I'm really struggling to find my way to the fit-guy mindset.

It occurred to me that I should update this. The gent finally returned my text, with apologies for having gone radio silent. We continued to exchange text messages to configure the details of a meetup, especially since my other obligations continued to shift the timing of things, up until my arrival at the meetup. The meetup was one of my best in four years of hiring. The next day, we exchanged some pleasant "morning after" texts. We have yet to speak on the phone. I prefer to text and will initiate a phone conversation only upon the gent's request. In my experience (and as a former phone sex operator/performer, I know the phone well), being ghosted has little to do with the technology...

Thinking of you, @VictorPowers!

Love this. So. Much. Keep us posted, @Rudynate!

It used to be that I wanted to hire the kind of guys I liked watching in porn. I've recently realized that my preferred porn guys are now quite different (age, body type, etc) from the gents I'm most interested in hiring. Admittedly, my taste in porn performers has changed over the years but this shift does seem to be about something other than simple aesthetics... Curious if others have noticed similar (or different) patterns...
