I don’t think I worded that clearly enough- I meant that it’s not realistic for a client to expect a provider to turn down another client for any reason. For example, it is not realistic for me to expect a provider to turn down a poz client.

That’s great to hear coming from an escort!!

Absolutely, any business owner has the right to run their business as they see fit and set proper boundaries, but that also means that they would have to be willing to turn down potential paying customers, which is not a realistic expectation from the rest of us as clients. My point is that the financial component changes the dynamic from it being a regular Grindr etc hookup.

I totally see where you’re coming from and know I have stuff to work on, but I think the “ick factor” would still be present if it were a woman/vagina. I was raised Jewish and the only shame I carry tied to being gay is that I will not be able to live a traditional lifestyle with a wife/kids/etc. I HATE the label “queer” and you may not self-identify as such, but others would say that anyone who is not 100% straight is “queer”. PrEP has never been said to be 100% effective. It also hasn’t been around long enough for anyone to truly know the long-term effects.

Totally! This is part of why I hire: providers are more likely to be more cognizant of their sexual health. But the second somebody BBs with anyone after getting a test, it renders the previous test invalid. Exactly. Even if there was no health risk, there’s just something “icky” about it to me.

True! But my point is that providers have a different vetting process from other guys.

I’ve posted a lot on this topic so won’t beat a dead horse, but this is a point that I don’t believe I’ve hit before because it should be obvious: Generally speaking, it is a provider’s job to play with anyone willing to pay. This “anyone willing to pay” may not be truthful about having an STI, may not know if he has an STI, and may not necessarily even be asked by the provider if he has an STI. When you are playing with a provider, you are also playing with all of these men he has played with. While the provider can do everything in his power to protect himself, nothing is 100% effective.

This reminds me of a restaurant story: When I was a child, my parents and I regularly ate at a restaurant that gave 10% off on Mondays (except holidays). We ate dinner as usual on a typical Monday and when we got the bill, my parents noticed that the discount had not been applied. When they asked the waitress, she seemed surprised as well and took the check back to management. When she returned, she said “ohhh today is a holiday eve, so no discount.” We never ate at that restaurant again.

Sometimes these fantasies get triggered and it makes my day… “Greg” posted this sexy pic (cropped for privacy) today…

Wow, hope he’s real!

These points are part of why I DID like the book- I thought the lack of realism in the tone was exactly what the show needed to work.

Yep, my tipping in restaurants has changed a bit over the last few years: 20% the pre-tax amount pre-Covid. 22% the post-tax amount when we were coming out of quarantine. Currently I tip around 20-23% the post-tax amount. As @arnie indicated, I’ll tip a higher rate than that for an inexpensive meal (not the server’s fault if I order the cheapest item on the menu instead and of the most expensive).

Wow, out of curiosity, what was the tip-off? I know very little about these things.

No experience, but messaged a while ago- NYC hosting location is in Williamsburg… newer pics are incredibly hot!

1- No 2- No 3- No, BUT there’s one specific issue that if I get the sense a provider would have a strong opinion on in one direction (whether by him posting about it on X or having some key words in his profile), I would not hire him because I would feel unsafe.

I saw Smash last night and very much enjoyed it… the theatre was packed and the audience was very enthusiastic. I found the book, score, and performances to all be very strong. In another year, all three Marilyns could have been locks for nominations, but I can see why Hurder was not nominated in this year’s extremely competitive field since she was not given as much to do as the leads in other shows (this came across as more of an ensemble cast), plus the other two were so strong that her character was NOT the clear choice (which in context of the show makes sense). I agree with everything @Cooper wrote in his post including that “Boop” would likely be a better choice for the average theatregoer if one had to choose, but both shows were really fantastic IMO.

Hosts in Brooklyn, has NYC phone number- maybe just new to being a provider; not to NY?

I agree with this take- I would be surprised (and disappointed) if I were in your position, too.

He replied to me over a month ago that he is located in NJ.

Yes, look at the word within the word that the asterisks cover (“rape”). I’ve seen other sites censor the “hardon” within “Chardonnay”.

EXACTLY what I would do 🤤

@marylander1940 thanks for posting some amazingly hot guys, especially on this page… dammmmmnnnn

I just started watching “Idol” regularly for the first time since circa 2012… was VERY surprised (though not upset) that MKY was eliminated. I also agreed with the judges’ decisions tonight (though not with America’s voting).

I’m a Kinsey 6 and honestly don’t care if a guy behaves in a feminine manner; as long as he looks like a man I’m fine… so an effeminate twink would be fine as long as he presents as male.
