Even if the thread is fake, it's fun and funny. The Catholic Church would love you. Look at the good abstaining has done for them. I don't know the age of the OP, but it may be really too late for all that life. Good advice. I see lots of ads that say, "Great with inexperienced," or something like that. There will be a lot of guys who won't want to touch you. They won't respond to your inquiry. There may be just as many up for the challenge. No, one hour is not enough! Paid "dates" could be a ton of fun. When you meet the right guy, pay him to guide you through the process, and take it slow and easy. Don't worry about the cost. If you find the right guy, the cost will be worth the experience. Prepare to pay. Just don't fall in love with a provider. At 14, I knew what I wanted and why, and I hadn't seen much porn, certainly not gay porn. My high school gym locker room and showers were enough angst for me. Can't imagine the pain and loneliness of the closet. Can't imagine the pain of going through life without having experienced the joy of exploring sex. Yes, sex can make a horny man crazy, but I wouldn't want it any other way. Some of the best sex I ever had was crazy sex. Bring it on.

It's too bad we have to worry about the shady characters in life. They exist in many businesses. However, when it comes to business sex, the feelings can rise and be quite emotional and scary. This was a difficult thread to follow, but it reminded me of a time when I left myself vulnerable, allowing company with a very sexy addict (the most gorgeous cock and balls) who always needed more money. Our "friendliness" grew to the point where I let him sleep on my couch on a few occasions. He never abused me in any way, and I never gave him more than $20 at a time, but when I looked back on my youthful carelessness, I wondered how I could let myself get that vulnerable. That's the power of sexy genitals on a good-looking guy. Today, I do everything possible to guard my life against unsavory or disturbed characters. No time (or energy) for drama. I've been out since my teenage years, so it's not easy to relate to closeted behavior. It seems to me, nothing much good comes from deep-rooted lies. I've been in domestic situations that required going to the police and finding a lawyer. This term "serious extortion" is laughable. Cops and lawyers are mostly interested in big-ticket items. Unless you know someone personally, cops and lawyers are going to laugh at this situation, making you feel much more foolish and stupid. I would argue that visiting a psych therapist would be more beneficial. Now that I just finished Season 2 of the ridiculous Reacher, I'd like to go through life with the body, the strength, and the talent to slay all the dragons on my own. It's so much easier that way, when all the bad guys fear YOU.

Hell, sometimes I needed porn to get me through a one night stand, and the guy was often good looking. I guess when you're paying, it's a bad look. I think the advice about doing smart research is good advice. When you're paying, it's never good to deal with a non-professional, no matter what the service is.

Not fair. I did hate the camera angle but I actually thought he sounded hot and playful. Not easy to do. At least he didn't sound like this:

Most incomprehensible thread I've ever experienced. Here or anywhere. The gabby and loud customers (in a NYC apartment building) are the most obnoxious and irritating. The walls are so thin in so many buildings, neighbors can hear almost everything. Folks in the service business often have to be very careful, because doing business in a residential apartment can be problematic.

I do not want to be near someone who is under the weather. I don't respect people's self-diagnosis. Most sick people insist they are not infectious. I never believe them. If you attempt to dupe me in any way, it will hurt our relationship. I have private health issues that need to be protected. They are not obvious, but I'm fully aware, and it's my job to do the protecting. I particularly need to protect my lungs, and avoid bronchial infections at all cost. NYC is a cesspool of germs. Far too many people do not cover their mouths when they cough or sneeze. Children can be a serious hazard, along with grocery cart handles. I see people on the buses and subway, all the time, who hold onto public metal with bare hands, and then pick their nose, wipe their eye, or touch their face. I can't afford to be around folks like that. When it comes to health or money, I will always choose health. I have always hated work when I am under the weather.

I have heard so many great things about this film. I think Denis Villeneuve is a serious talent. However, I have tried to watch this movie three times, and I keep falling asleep within the first 30 minutes. The first attempt I didn't last past 10 minutes. I find it very frustrating that the story does not grab me. It all seems so fake and plodding to me. I never got past the first episode of Game of Thrones, either. Maybe fantastical fiction is not my thing.

This was a challenging one to sit through. Bradley Cooper sounded like he had a cold, and after a bit that began to annoy me. Outside of West Side Story, I've never much liked Bernstein's music. Carey Mulligan was terrific. I thought Cooper really looked the part, and his conducting appeared very real. I'm sure a lot of work went into making this film.

I did not enjoy this film. I did not understand the hype or praise. I never believed for a minute that she was guilty of murder. I also didn't believe a case should have been brought against her. I thought is was all phony and ridiculous.

I have heard this comment from a lot of people, especially people who aren't keen on musicals. I never saw the show on Broadway, but I'm thinking about catching this.

I don't know anyone who loved it, but I intend to see it.

It's gotten great press. It's on my list to see.

Or love. But none of that stops the guys who live for drama. No matter what you say, you can't talk them off the cliff. I have an older gay sibling who lives for drama. Falls in love with every cute guy he encounters. He's overweight, depressed, and feels lonely. He loves to gossip and create drama. He's unhappy and bored with his life, so he uses drama to create excitement. It's dysfunctional behavior steeped in deeper, more complex issues. The worst part is he sees a therapist. I have no idea what goes on in those sessions, but there's never been any evidence that they help. Most people in service are actors. The best customer service is great acting at the highest level. The act of caring performed by an actor is an illusion. Acting talent has the power to seduce. It's not a bad talent. I think it can be quite useful, and profitable. The challenge is on the customer not to be duped. You must know your place in any transaction. Some men are weak and fall prey.

I saw the movie for a second time. It's not as funny/shocking the second time, but I still laughed and enjoyed the crazy ride. The pacing and the performances are seriously close to pitch perfect. I had not realized that Toros and Garnick were at Vanya's New Year's Eve party, where they would have seen or encountered Ali. I also didn't realize how many hats Sean Baker wore. Not only did he write and direct, he's co-producer, casting agent, and he's the movie's editor. The movie is cast to perfection, and the editing is sharp as a tack. It's a very impressive film that is going to make a ton of money. Sean Baker is a major talent. The music in the movie is amazing also.

A good idea? No. But sometimes you have to learn lessons the hard way. Exactly. If you keep the fantasy short and simple, there's a ton of fun to be had. Some guys live for drama, but mixing money with relationships can get tricky quickly. Mixing money with friendships can get treacherous. It took a few mistakes in my youth to learn the damaging traps to avoid. As an old romantic, I still struggle. I'm in love with my Queens butcher, where I go for specialty meat items. He's a Latin/Italian mix, and I think he's so hot. I swear he flirts with me all the time, gifting me with occasional free meat. He's married with kids, but I melt when he smiles. I would love to offer paid service to him, but I would die if the offer ruined our relationship. Many things aren't worth death, especially the best, however small, relationships. I'm in love with my Asian dry cleaner's son. I've known him since he was thirteen, and now that he's in college, he's hot as hell. He is so sweet and kind to me, it is incredibly easy to assume he's available for other things. He knows I'm a good, loyal, and respectful customer. But what might happen if I tampered with that trust? If I made a play and failed, not only would I lose his trust, I would lose his family. There are many scenarios where the fantasy kills if you make the wrong move, even in relationships where sex is the commodity. My heart is too sensitive to ever be that reckless again. Now, I'm only interested in the fun, fun, fun. No drama.

I thought the movie was a fun roller-coaster ride. Thought the performances were amazing. I found Mark Eydelshteyn oddly attractive, with a very sexy twink ass. Wish he would have done full frontal. His nude flip was impressive. I can see why this film is getting much critical praise and attention. I thought the ending was very touching, and totally unexpected. Mikey Madison's career will probably soar.

In earlier years, I had thoughts about giving others massage. Friends used to tell me I had a nice touch. If I had a larger apartment, I would have invested in a good table, not only for myself but for others. Maybe then I would have taken the thought more seriously. I don't know where you live, but NYC has MMX. Not only can you learn more from a place like that, you can meet and work with other like-minded men, and possibly find the needle in the haystack you're looking for. Maybe there is something similar in your area, or you can plan a learning visit here and explore further. If I had the energy, I would jump.

Yep, we're back to that. There never really was a black and white interpretation, was there? Even being street smart, it was never good to assume or expect anything. As far as I'm concerned, these words were there to feed a fantasy, and many providers knew how to do word-play (mostly between sensual and erotic). The words were part of the search seduction, and they provided a few guys the ability to charge more. Any guy who took the words seriously did so at risk of disappointment. Lots of disappointment expressed here on this board. The truth is, a guy never knows when he'll encounter luck. Obviously, the hotter clients typically have more fun. Asking is only fun if the response is "yes." I avoid asking because hearing "no" would kill the fantasy before the service even starts. Several providers would ask if I wanted more, and that was welcome. Because then I knew they were interested in going further. There was no negative interruption. Until it becomes legal, we're stuck.

Closed down? Where did that come from? I have no idea what is going on internally at RM. Even if they provide an explanation, I doubt I would believe it. I was a recent Premium customer, but I have not received any communication from them regarding this change. Maybe it only went out to providers. Nonetheless, I'm not surprised.

I always understood it to mean the following: Sensual: Provider may touch sensitive areas without engaging in sex acts. Erotic: Provider will provide HE, and he may get naked and let you touch him. Many also believed it was an open door to the possibility of penetration. Obviously, the words were just another word-play marketing tool for providers who wanted another read-between-the-line choice. Now, there will be less choice, leaving many to wonder further what they will actually get for their money.

Exactly. Now watch the changes begin.

That sounds like fun. I wish more would be interested in doing this. I once had a masseur in San Francisco who used an undressing ritual soon after you arrived. It was amazing. We undressed each other, and I'll never forget the way he touched my junk as he was sliding my underwear down to the floor. So hot and sexy. That was a very memorable massage.

@mike carey LOL, I never feel bad about hating user interfaces. I did not grow up on computers, so for me, it's like learning French. However, my brain still works (thank God), and when something is shown to me, I can learn. Thank you for showing me, Mike. I had no idea Theme existed, or what it could do. Interesting feature. Now I know how to avoid the snowflakes next holiday season. Much appreciated!

I don't remember that. I think the word "twink" rose significantly when porn went to the internet in the early 90's. It became a growing, dominant porn category, and studios began specializing in reaching out to those customers. Today, young, skinny guy porn is everywhere, with some studios only producing that. Same here. Never liked alcohol much. Never liked the smell of a bar. Stripper clubs were fun. Those places smelled more of man sweat. Loved that.

That's really lovely to know. Thank you for the note. Now if only I could figure out what all that means, and how to do it. LOL. I'm so not made for a tech world.
