  1. 2 Looks like he is trying to get to an appointment with Whipped Guy
  2. I live in WeHo and am in my 60s. When walking alone, approaching young men tend to avert their eyes (as if making eye contact were the cause of aging). However, when I am walking my utterly adorable Maltese mix- everyone smiles and talks to me. There is a particularly stunning straight man, who always stops to say hello and pet my companion.
  3. In the words of the old spiritual "Go down Moses..."
  4. I too have fond memories of buying Physique Pictorial at the newsstand on Las Palmas Ave, just off Hollywood Blvd. I was in High School and didn't identify as Gay yet. But I had to buy those magazines. Many years ago I had a friend from New York in town for a visit, he wanted to see an old friend and his partner. I was in my 20's then and these Gentlemen were in their 70's. They talked about old Hollywood ( they had both worked at Paramount), and produced boxes of photos of nude ( or nearly nude ) young men, some of whom I recognized (George Maharis, Jeffrey Hunter) they said it was quite common for the guys to make a little money, and connections by posing. The evening concluded with some films of young men sword fighting, doing gymnastics, wrestling, and in the case of a buck naked perhaps 20 year old Charlton Heston -dancing.
  5. All I keep thinking at these images of nude men straddling trees is "ouch".
  6. He had a profile on RM until recently. That gave the same generalized non-specific description he has on Masseurfinder. His RM profile closed with "no sex". He does not claim to have any massage training, and does not have a table. I suspect you will get neither a good massage, nor anything more entertaining. He does have a nice picture.
  7. A friend once wrote me a note with these words of wisdom- " As you climb the ladder of success, don't let the boys look up your dress" If your going to wear kilt good words to keep in mind.
  8. I worked as an usher at the Hollywood Bowl during high school. One night in 1967 on my way home I stopped at a magazine stand just off Hollywood Blvd. I saw a copy of Physique Pictorial with a Tom of Finland drawing on the cover. It changed my life. I'm still hoping that one day I'll encounter a man with Tom of Finland nipples.
  9. Not to hijack this thread- but Stonewall wasn't the first action of this type. The police abuse of gay people in other parts of the country were causing a incidents in Los Angeles and San Francisco. Here is the account of the events at the Black Cat Tavern in the Silverlake neighborhood of L.A. 1967: The bar was established in November 1966. Police raid and LGBT demonstrations Two months later, on the night of New Year's 1967, several plain-clothes LAPD police officers infiltrated the Black Cat Tavern.[3] After arresting several patrons for kissing as they celebrated the occasion,[4] the undercover police officers began beating several of the patrons[5] and ultimately arrested thirteen patrons and three bartenders.[5] This created a riot in the immediate area that expanded to include the bar across Sanborn Avenue called New Faces, where officers knocked down the owner, a woman, and beat two bartenders unconscious.[6] Several days later, this police action incited a civil demonstration of over 200 attendees to protest the raids. The demonstration was organized by a group called PRIDE (Personal Rights in Defense and Education).[7] The protest was met by squadrons of armed policemen.[3] Two of the men arrested for kissing were later convicted under state law and registered as sex offenders. The men appealed, asserting their right of equal protection under the law, but the U.S. Supreme Court did not accept their case.[8] It was from this event that the publication The Advocate began as a newspaper for PRIDE (Personal Rights in Defense and Education).[9] Together the raid on the Black Cat Tavern and later the raid on The Patch in August 1968 inspired the formation of the Metropolitan Community Church (led by Pastor Troy Perry).[10][11] These events pre-dated the Stonewall riots by over two years.[8]
  10. I came out in 1970, and got involved in the Gay Liberation movement right from the start. One of the discussions you heard most frequently was whether we should suppress Drag Queens, Transexuals, and effeminate men from appearing at demonstrations. There were always "normal" looking guys who could "pass" ( in the parlance of the time), who did not want obvious Queens to be on display as part of the movement. When we founded a Gay Students Union at my University, one our first actions was to found a speakers bureau to send panels to speak to classes, and other student organizations. There was a huge battle within our organization about who would be acceptable to send out to represent us. It was a very turbulent time. When it was mentioned that the Stonewall riots were largely fought by drag queens and Transexuals, some people did not want to believe it. On one hand I'm glad that so much has changed, and the strides our community has made. When I see two young guys, or young women walking hand in hand, and being affectionate it makes me smile. By the same token, young people today are so ignorant of what life used to be like, and the efforts, that have been made by so many men and women to achieve the freedom that so many take for granted. Some of those people were ones we would be very uncomfortable around today.
  11. I have seen Tristan for a long time ( I wrote his first review here). He has that ability that all the best escorts have of listening to you and delivering the experience you desire. Contacting him is the most difficult part of the Tristan experience. Besides being very much in demand for his escort services, he also has another business that requires a lot of hands on attention. I have adopted the "all of the above" approach. I usually phone, text, and e-mail. He always gets back to me. Be patient- he is worth it.
