LOL! Sometimes I've been the buzz killer, I admit.

I'm glad to hear that he's doing something to create good memories of Thanksgiving. Since I wasn't part of it until I was an adult, I was very surprised to find out how many people get depressed, stressed and sad over the holiday season beacuse of family issues. I was always under the impression that the holidays were a time to leave differences aside and just love each other, then I think of my family and upbringing, and it all made perfect sense.

I'm sorry I'm about to ruin your fantasy. If I got a dime every time some guy or gal flirted with me or someone from my crew back when I was in the construction business, I'd be rich. I think that the flirting thing is way too common for most people in the lines of work that require entering people's homes, to care. Of course, many of those men are great eye candy, but in my experience, those who actually "act on" the flirting are for the most part shady characters that have gotten fired from the job fairly soon after they start. I had the police come pick up people from my crew several times, some for stealing things from residences, one of them made a copy of a homeowner's key. To me that's all they are, good eye candy and most of them men who are making a living. Since I was in that line of work, I am mindful and respectful of the guys who come to my home to build or fix things. I actually found that they are way friendlier and get closer when I don't show any signs of interest or flirting.

Same to you and to all.

I don't see why you should mention it. Enjoy it for what it was, and in the future don't have expectations for the same thing to happen. He is in the business of providing what you got, so payment is expected. I'd continue seeing him but with the understanding that at the end, he is a provider and that is his business. Any indication of any more personal should be discussed sensitively.

Yes, it's wrong if you have a sense of caring or decency towards your relationship with the father. You might have to choose if he's not ok with you seeing his son. That is, if you are a person of integrity. If you're not and you are ok with lying to the father and continue seeing them both, then by all means. It all boils down to your personal morals and values. Personally I don't play games with people, and I value the meaning of my words, especially when it comes to relationships (casual or otherwise), but that's what I'd do. Other people find it exciting to be involved with both and keeping it that way. Best wishes.

Banks can be as discriminatory as any other institutions. I've been denied access to my own money, refused to open accounts, and bee blocked, and other similar things, and its' simply because of my definietly-not-an-escort-service busines. Apparently any freelancing that places certain amount of money in short time rings bells and requires some kind of justification. Same thing with customer service. Apparently I look like a person with no money to tellers, that is until they access my accont info and I immediately see their change in demeanor and attitude. Those things happen to many freelancers in many fields, and honestly it's quite stupid since that has not changed any single one of those industries or people. It just annoys the heck out of all of us.

For a massage, massage type of music (meditation, zen, etc). For the rest, I guess I can say more about what I don't want/like than the other way around. A few months ago I posted about a bad provider that had the Steven Wilkos show blasting in the background, so no, not that type of thing. Also for a massage, if you stream, get the for-pay option that doesn't disrupt the Zen by blasting car insurance commercials in the middle of the session. Also, depends on the surroundings. In a hotel where walls are paper thin, music might help.

Do you get good business from that site? If the answer is no, then don't bother. Maybe a free account just for presence.

I find this question interesting, but not easy to answer. "Out of my league" might not be the reason a provider might not answer back. In fact, in many instances the point of hiring a provider is gaining access to types that are normally not the ones that might be part of our lives (trying to be sensitive here). That's part of the service that they provide. Being the fact that for a newbie you have been able to connect with several providers that seem to satisfy your needs, I wonder what specifics you have that those providers are not giving you, also if such specifics have been expressed to them. As for your level of experience, again, that's part of the service that many providers offer, to put you at ease and give you some of the experience that they do have. I think the intimidating part might be communicating your lack of experience to them, or feeling that you must have some self-imposed standards. I'd suggest to just reach out and communicate your specifics, and not to blame yourself (or what you desire) if the provider doesn't reply. There are many reasons for them not to reply. One more thing, regarding personal safety: not much experience with providers doesn't mean no experience in life. Of course be cautious abour coming across as naive, as some ill-intended providers might see that as an opportunity to exploit you in a negative way.

First, my heart goes to you and your spouse. I am not in the same situation, as I do have siblings, but I cannot count on any of them. I have a great relationship with my inlaws and I feel comfortable that they can or will help me if I lose my husband. Have you considered having a conversation with your spouses relatives? Bringing that subject might not be easy, and it's ambarassing, but having clarity might help you make the necessary plans for the future. I'm also glad that you are bringing that subject up now, not at the time when you are already alone. I think this might be the time to start making plans and having conversations with key people (I imagine that after 55 years, many of your matters around the business of life are in order). It is scary for many of us being old, sick and alone. That's particularly terrifying for gay men of the older generation, especially looking at the way the so-called "community" is now. I think reaching out to people now might be useful for you to have a clue of what you could expect should you find yourself alone.

I try to be honest and informational in my reviews. I have had great experiences, for the most part, and even with them, when people ask me I always specify that my experience was good, but that certain things are up to the provider to decide, including the chemistry between us (and yes, I believe that goiod chemistry between me and the provider enhances the experience). The one bad experience I had deserved the terrible review because it was a terrible experience from a guy who didn't have the right facilities, wanted "donation up front", had no materials (other than a 99 cents store lotion) and had a camera pointing at me. I think people should know about that, hence my bad review. It's not on you if people don't get the same experience that you did, or not like it the way you did. When people reach out to me, I always emphasize that those are "I" statements, that there's no way for me to guarantee the same level of goo or bad experience.

In USA, many states have specific laws against recording both video and audio in private, closed places without informing all parties involved. That's why you hear the "this call may be recorded" message when you call customer service. It varies from state to state, though. Nothing wrong with having cameras in open, private or public for security. I myself encountered a situation like that with a guy I booked for a massage. I'm glad that I saw the camera pointing directly at me about 10-15 minutes into the massage, and ended it immediately, in spite of him trying to convince me that the camera was not on. I gave him a bad review in rentmasseur (BTW, out of curiosity, I checked if my review was still there, but it seems like his profile is gone, good riddance. Probaby got arrested or something). After that, every time I am in a new place, I check for cameras. I may or may not be successful at seeing them if they are there, but that gives me a degree of security. The rest of your post is rather bizarre. An escort who tells the client to "get an escort"? Bottom linbe (to me) is that the world is full of all kinds of people, with good and bad intentions, and it's up to me to have caution and calculate risk (which there always is). I don't let that nonsense spoil my fun.

I do see the increase in popularity, which is valid (IMO). I also see how there are massages that can evolve into something else for a little extra. Like you state, I have known providers that don't want to be labeled "escorts", so the massage thing is some kind of cover. I'm sure that they have their reasons for it. Also, the massage setting seems to give the provider a little more control as to how far they want to go with a client. There isn't a specific rule about what people do (or get done) in an erotic massage, so the provider can decide. The same is true from clients who want extras but for some reason need to cover, so they "are not hiring an escort, they are getting a massage". That's my take on that massage-in-escort-sites-and-escorts-in-massage-sites thing. It doesn't really bother me personally, and I always get a sense of the massage skills that the provider offers before contacting and asking for specifics. Communication can help a great deal, though there are always suprises, good and bad. The thing is that there is infact, a market for that, hence the increase in popularity. It increases the need for others to have to navigate through communication, but there are reasons why it exists.

Great catch. I wonder what the background story is. Maybe some client from hell that is being passive-aggressive?

Talk about mixed messages! I did see that the erotic portion of his profile is greyed out. His listed rate might suggest consistency with not providing extras (at least now when I saw his profile), although that might be the rate for just 15 minutes, who knows. The smell thing seems to be the theme here. Go figure.

You mean, the Executives, Doctors, Construction Workers, Soccer Players, who also somehow find plenty of time to hang out at the gym's locker room? Yes, I remember the previous post about them. Thanks for the info, sorry you had a bad experience with them.

LOL! No. Actually, I just got my COVID booster today, and my employer requires having the flu shot, so I got it too. I just do not believe in the so-called sex addiction. There are conditions like OCD that resemble behaviors that some addicts display, but it is a completely different thing. And, BTW, in no way, shape or form am I discouraging anyone who think or feels that is a sex addict to take care of themselves in any way that they see it fit for their situation. I'm not preaching nor trying to convince anyone about my views, which are only that, my views, In fact, have a few friends who consider themselves sex addicts, some of them go to therapy and (I believe) 12-step programs for sex addiction, and one of them I even consider part of my family of choice. I do not have a black-and-white mentality about it. I just have my own beliefs. Exactly. And there are differences between those two. Treatment for OCD is different than treatment for addictions.

Personally I don't believe in porn or sex "addiction". It's all nonsense to me. I also agree that the app seems to have some kind of Christian flare to it, which is quite offputting to me. Even if I believed in the so called "sex addiction", doesn't look like that app is something that will create any long-term benefit. I wouldn't pick an app to manage that part of my life (if I evern feel like I need any kind of support agains something I like too much, I guess), leave alone picking a "victory partner". Chances are, I might end up f***ing the hell out of him. Hate the app, hate its premise, hate its approach.

Interesting that he has only one review with five stars (with today's date), but the rating shows 0.0. I guess RM's math is off? Or maybe the review shows but it's being reviewed?

What is your type of man, or does it matter?

Nuovo Olimpo on Netflix Watch Nuovo Olimpo | Netflix Official Site WWW.NETFLIX.COM In 1970s Rome, a casual encounter between Enea and Pietro at a movie theater turns into an unforgettable romance — until destiny pulls them apart. Just watched it. Highly recommend it. Sad ending in my opinion, but well-made and great eye candy.

Thanksgiving became a big even among my gay friends. I was unable to celebrate it until I was an adult, and I wanted to start my own tradition, so I came up with the idea of celebrating it (that was in 1993). I thought that my friends might not be interested in joining us because they had their own families. Turned out I was wrong. They saw it as the perfect excuse to leave their homophobic and unsupportive families early and join us. That was the first time I had a Thanksgiving dinner. It became a tradition and we did it for years. About a decade later or so it became geographically difficult, and some had now their own partners and in-laws who they wanted to celebrate with, so we ended the tradition. We have been friends since the early 90s, and Thanksgiving always gives me those fond memories. I was surprised to find out that both Christmas and Thanksgiving had so many people stressed over meeting with family when they didn't want to for many reasons. I've heard many of those stories. To me, celebrating them is a great thing.

To me, the best thing to address that is the "Available Now" button/setting in the websites. That can give me as a client a clue of who can be available sooner. Of course, that means available, not necessarily ready.

I was going to say that the no-show thing is on both sides. The reasons can be similar, involving personal insecurites, being precautious, finding better deals and having second thoughts about the expense. I disagree with the way point 5 is framed. Not having the means to afford a provider doesn't make the client a loser. Attempting at hiring while knowing well that it's not within his means might.
