I ended up with the Phantom Wave and so far it's great.

Check out the deal on Phantom Wave at Fort Troff

Looking at either the P-Spot Pointer or the Metalhead Plugger from Fort Troff.  Has anyone used either of these?

What's yours?  For me it's my balls for sure, followed closely by the taint.  Drives me crazy when a guy works my balls and licks underneath before he fucks me.

I want to thank everyone for not hijacking this thread to snipe at each other and instead answering my original post about insomnia!🤣

Hope this is ok to post here.  I asked in the health thread but got no responses.  Has anyone experience insomnia caused by COVID.  I think that's what I have.

Has anyone experienced insomnia brought on by COVID?  Never had sleep issues before but I sure do now.

Ben Archer (in Chicago) was my favorite.  Saw him a few times and then he disappeared.  I heard he died but have never been able to confirm that.

I know this should be directed at the specific people who say that, however I can’t help but bring it up because I’ve already heard it (or shall I said, read it in text messages) now like 3 times over the past year. 
 

I’m sure I don’t have to explain why prices may be a little more than before. But some of these guys saying this, haven’t seen me in a year or more. The most recent: guy is a semi-regular but we’ve not met since December. 8 months, a whole new year and age older later, we’re having a discussion about prices up.

For me: I haven’t gone up just because everything else has. In my case, it’s been a combination of increased prices and fewer bookings. Some of these guys are expecting full service sessions at $150-200 an hour. However, I need at least $250-$400 to be able to offset the cost I spend on hotels, commute, etc. So at times I have to request 90 minutes or two hour minimum. 
 

On top of that: I’ve known the industry since 2008. At that time, $220 was fairly easy to get. I was also (my own critique opinion) not as put together and attractive as I am now. But here we are 15 years later, and some seem to think rates should remain the same or go lower?

I’m spending more on everything, yet don’t have the dependable salary I would imagine many clients have. And this started before Covid and inflation. For me, my expenses have been up ever since the “rental market” started to get hot in 2016 in many cities. I remember around that time, I did a hour session: having drove from one city to another (100 miles) and booked the room to host. I was only left with like $120 after the room. And that was my only booking that weekend if I remember. That’s when I realized: 1 rate isn’t going to be doable in all situations. 
 

And even a $50-100 difference isn’t necessarily a major move. But it still has an effect. I mean, my haircuts are costing me $10-15 more. My vitamins, protein shakes, and “men’s health” products are a little more right now than before too. Do clients expect us to just eat the cost of these things, with no sort of awareness that we might also need to adjust our prices? Do clients want a malnourished, soft dick guy with bad hair and nails to service them, because we can’t afford our essentials?

Then it’s like: somehow we’re supposedly to magically be able to pop out loads…while servicing 2-3 clients (hypothetically) a day to offset the lower rate.

Fortunately there are those out there that this doesn’t apply to, and most new clients I see are accepting of the newer prices I have. And this isn’t to poke at other clients or imply they are cheap, however I think there needs to be an understanding that sex work is expensive. I’m not some loaf of bread or gallon of milk that people buy everyday. I have so many companies taking money out of my pockets every month, I’m not out here just rolling in cash.
 

If things were conducive to do so, I would be asking for $500 to 1,000 minimum for meets, until I was certain lowering it could reach a higher volume. Last thing I want to do when I’m in a region with fewer clients and more advertisers, is LOWER my sessions. Seems it would equate to less bookings for less made 🤷🏾‍♂️ 
 

I don’t think it’s right to make it seem like an escort is being greedy, when we’re not immune to the price hikes either.

Also I remind clients: our rates, or at least mine; are not permanently inscribed in stone 🪨 we have the right to adjust our prices occasionally as we see fit. Especially if it’s been a lengthy amount of time (more than 6 months) since previously met or booked. Like I’ve related to hotels and airlines (I don’t fly, but gas changes just as often): their prices change almost everyday, and I’m subject to those same fluctuations directly out of my pocket.

I change my price/rate structure every so often because I get bored repeating the same thing. What incentive is there to know you can’t change your price after a few self improvements or seasonal adjustment 🤔 

Your posts remind me of the old joke about the waitress at the fancy country club.  When the meal was over she went to the guests and said "Was anything ok"?  Are you ever satisfied with anything??

I wouldn't use it for anything that needs to be factual unless I could check for accuracy.  I have used it to help me write things and it's been great.  I asked it to write me a humorous poem for someone's birthday, giving info about the person, and wishing 5 seconds I had my poem!

Jarrod.

You do nothing but complain about your business.

Lots of people have read your long posts and tried to offer suggestions to your many gripes.

I am just one of them. But it seems you don't want answers. You just need to vent and keep repeating the same problems and never adjusting your approach. I'm sure plenty of other members agree.

The "comprehending" and "listening" are advice you may (or may not) take for yourself. People are trying to help you but you don't hear anything because you always get defensive instead of listening and learning.

No one is attacking you, so you should lower your armor for a minute and think about the things people are saying more carefully.

Best of luck.

You've nailed it but I have to admit I find his rants entertaining!

I don't mind the new arrangement but I don't like the new question section.  It shows when a question was asked but not when the last post was added.

Love to get off watching this video!

I met with Ben Archer a few times in Chicago and they were some of my best hires ever.  He then disappeared and I was never able to locate him.  Someone told me he died but I was never able to verify that so I don't know if it's true.

There is a gay chat site I go on that has a room for guys interested in phone sex.  It's hit or miss but I've had some hot sessions with guys from that site.

I use the do not disturb function buy my phone allows calls from anyone listed in my "favorites" so I don't have to worry about missing important calls from certain family members

The email address on my profile is one I don't use anymore.  I'm ok continuing to use it for this site but I don't remember my password (for the email) so I can't sign in on the account to get any mail.   Will I need to switch to another email address?

It's because those are not forums.  They're external links to different applications.  

I put the links there to make it easier for people to find the gallery application (so that it is not just in the main navigation menu).  

Thanks Rob. With my limited tech skills I never would have figured that out!

Apologies in advance if this has already been asked and answered.  On the home page, to the right of each topic is an indication of the last time someone posted on that topic.  This is not true for the public and private gallery threads.  Any reason for this?

Thanks

I need a new toaster oven and I'm thinking of getting an air fryer/toaster oven combo.  I love to cook and I'm worried I might not use the air fryer.  People who have one tell me they love it and no longer use their ovens.  Anyone with a combo care to comment on their experience?

Thanks

I've never met him but if you want to check him out, there's a great video on xhamster with Finn Daniels and Drew Sebastian.  One of my favorites!

Looking back on it, though, I kind of wonder whether some of my favorite TV shows had more to do with the handsome male actors than the shows themselves.  Could Kent McCord have been why I liked Adam 12 so much?  Why was I so drawn to Don Grady's "Robbie Douglas" character on My Three Sons when there were kids on that show much closer to my age?  Ditto Wally, played by Tony Dow, on Leave It To Beaver.  Now, some of these shows have aged well enough that they are still shown regularly today, so one might argue that I simply liked these shows.  But when I look back on my early childhood it really does seem that my favorite actors on my favorite shows were all visually compelling.

I never thought about this before but this hits it right on the head. It explains completely my choice of tv shows when I was 10 and 11, before I realized why--Bonanza, Rawhide, My Three Sons, Ben Casey etc
