+1 Life is complicated enough for a gay man. Have to disagree with that. Aggression and entitlement are far more prevalent these days. Simply watch the Karen-on-airplane videos on YouTube for the last 10 years of air travel. You'll see people behave in public in a manner I've never seen before. And I flew for business most of my life. And end up like Oscar Wilde? Certainly not a bad way to live, or offer as an example. However, when it comes to sex work among gays and gay-bar life, it helps to get street smart. Pick your venues with care, and know your place within them.

Sorry. OT again. I like lime a lot. I just happened to be at Fairway Market today, a grocery store I don't normally go to. Lo and behold Duke's was on their mayo shelf. Next time I need mayo I'm going to try it. Thanks for the mention. I love a good mayo.

What I meant by growing old, is facing the choice of accepting or rejecting the coarsening of our culture. When I was younger, I saw everything through rose colored glasses.

Sorry, not on Grindr. Lots to be sad about these days. Growing old is a bitch.

Interesting discussion. If I had the money, I'd rather spend it on watching him work. Sexually, he's not my type, but I can see why a lot of guys and gals drool over him. Whenever I have seen him in interviews, he always comes across as some version of manic. There is that laugh. As a sex worker, I don't think I would enjoy being intimate with him. I don't think the word savor is in his vocabulary. Plus, he's way too young. OT: I never heard of the brand Duke's before. I see it has no sugar, and uses more egg yolk (which may make it more fattening). I'd be interested in trying it.

I don't think social grace rules of yesteryear apply to social media of today. Today, I'm surprised when anyone exhibits good manners. I don't own a smartphone, so I've never been on Grindr. I heard it was for hot, younger guys looking for sex. If that is mostly true, and you're not hot and age appropriate, then I would say there's some glutton for punishment at work here. Disrespecting boundaries is a huge turn-off for most gay men. Huge turn-off. It's even more intense for sex workers. Someone who assumes you can introduce RM banter on a place like Grindr, without permission, is not thinking. IMO, this shortsightedness is begging for rejection.

The body seems amazing, at least for my taste. Love his legs and butt. If he's got a nice face, nice personality, and a lot of talent, I could easily see how falling head over heels could be a thing.

I'm still trying to get through it. Unbelievably boring. Had no idea who Nicki Glaser was. Still don't care. Her cleavage is not pretty. I didn't need to have it shoved down my throat. I can't believe this Globe organization continues to have any clout in the industry. It all seems so fake and gratuitous to me. No one seems to want to be there. I can't believe Jodie Foster won for True Detective. I thought Night Country was awful, laughable. It was painful to watch to the end. I did see Sofia Vergara in Griselda, and I thought her performance was 10 times better than anything Jodie Foster offered on Night Country. IMO, the Globes are a joke.

They can be very frustrating. Sometimes you just have to give the game a rest, and maybe re-visit it later. That's what I've always done. Me too. I always book for massage. That is my history. If sex ever happened (and it did many times), it was always a welcome surprise. If sex was that important to me, then maybe I would have looked at escorts. Frankly, I never had difficulty finding free sex, so hiring an escort didn't really enter my thought process.

That is so nice when that happens. A great compliment to you. Thanks for sharing. Absolutely. Very true. But smart customers know how to play the game and read the room. It's the other guys that require a lot of time and patience.

I failed to get beyond his poor communication skills. I asked my usual questions, but did not get answers. In fact, I specifically requested "therapeutic only," and he responded "I do happy ending." I have no interest in HE. He also failed to provide prices for 60/90 minute versions. He didn't bother to respond to my follow-up email. I wasn't expecting that he would be licensed, but you never know unless you ask about certification. He completely ignored the question. Scheduling for the HE guys has to be a nightmare. No two guys cum at the same time.

Showing respect for someone else is difficult to do if you don't respect yourself. Sort of like love.

Sexual experimentation among human beings can get complicated. It's not for rational thinking. IME, these odd occurrences are mostly one-offs. Weird stuff can happen when the lights are low, and a naked body is lying beneath. I'll never forget my first straight guy experience. When I asked him why, he answered, "I'm curious. I have an open mind." He's straight with kids till this day. I have no proof that anyone's stories on the internet are truthful, but I do have my own peculiar experiences. I've had some surprising shit happen. I stopped trying to figure some of it out long ago.

It's not unusual to find many in NYC, but I've been lucky enough to find them across America, too. I used to travel for business, and often stayed in hotels that offered spa services. Many fun memories from my youth. I always loved the ones that were a true surprise.

I have often heard providers complain about the "grabbers." You can tell by some of the discussions on this board, many men are too hungry for anyone's good. Their appetite for sex is insatiable. They grab instead of touch sensually. It reminds me of men who scarf down their food. Get it in as fast as you can because I need to feel the pleasure as quickly as possible. It's a message of desperation. These are not fun or enjoyable customers. I don't care what they are willing to pay. If you are this type of guy, it is not easy to change. Because change requires a behavioral adjustment, and many refuse to see the forest for the trees, and face their own truth. The best and safest way to deal with a client like this is to let him go.

I've been with a few "straight" guys who were in experimentation mode. They are a difficult lot to figure out. IMO, the less you say the better. These are not normal gay thinkers with whom you can discuss and rationalize feelings. As Jamie21 said, if you break the "spell" in any way, it could all go south and end. Nothing great lasts forever anyway. I have never needed climax, so this would be a great massage for me. In fact, my body responds to massage in a manner that makes if very difficult to climax. That's why the massage always trumps anything else for me. But I still feel any sensual build up is a healthy thing for my body. If I could find something similar for that price, there is no way I'm going to tamper with it. I would enjoy it while it lasts.

Good luck with that request. There are way too many guys here who require some sort of guarantee. Many also have a laundry list of things, included in their fantasy, that, if not part of the service, will cause great anxiety. Personally, I have never learned how to control human behavior, especially the behavior of a horny gay man. Like I said, good luck with that.

The view from his apartment is a rare find, but during massage, the view matters nothing to me. He uses the word professional in his ad, but no mention of pro-training. He offers 4-hands as well. Wonder who the other guy is? He sure is good looking with a nice lean body, so I imagine he does quite well. Claims to own 2 tables. Not easy to do in a NYC apartment. The boy invested.

I imagine for muscle worshipers he's a wet dream. Lots of photos. Great smile. Can't help but wonder what his pits smell like, or better yet that butt. Looks like he's got nice hands for massage work. Anyone know if he's licensed? It sounds like the HE side is more important to him since it brings in the upsell. Bad news for us guys who care more about massage talent.

OMG. My body could never tolerate that. I absolutely hate getting the chills.

I'm sure Streisand was not under-sexed. Rumor has it she needed a large cock to get pleasure. My gut is telling me that Streisand will handle sex discussion a bit differently than Cher. Also, Streisand is not aging well, and she hasn't gone the distance on plastic surgery the way Cher has. I have no clue how their current "looks" drives youth appeal. I think both books deserve a read, but I'm almost their age. Plus, Cher offers club remixes. Streisand showed little interest in dance music.

He has a beautiful, veiny, uncut cock. His ad says he's certified. My only precaution are the comments about not going "deep." Relaxation is not enough for me. My muscles need a good, experienced manhandling.

There's only one Cher. Plus, Cher offers a lifetime of dirt. She had sex with many more Hollywood men than Streisand did, and she's fully open to spilling the beans. Streisand is far more private and reserved.

Nothing to do with patience for me. For anyone with cataract/floater/detached retina issues, this feature induces a lot of anxiety. I can't stand it, and I can't wait for it to go away. I should also add, I love snow in winter. Built many a snowman in my childhood.
