I don't know much about gayforpay, but, recently I was introduced to HardTomXXX. I had never heard of him or seen his photos before. I instantly fell in love with his face. Then his body. And OMG, that cock. Soft or hard, it's a major thing of beauty. I did some research. He's got a ton of videos online. I couldn't believe it. He does almost nothing, except get hard and let lots of guys service him. He seems to have no problem getting hard, and he often smiles, which suggests he's got an easy sense of humor. He lets guys lick his pits, but no one stays there for very long. It made me wonder about his scent. He lets guys lick his ass, but again, those scenes don't last very long, and there isn't much ass-licking passion. I dug a little deeper, and I see he has an expired Rentmen page, with a London location. It made me wonder if anyone here has experience with him. I doubt I'll ever meet him. But talk about fulfilling that straight guy fantasy, this guy ticks so many boxes. For me, it starts with the face. Anyone know more?

I think compliments are OK, you just have to be careful with the wording. Maybe better to say "Hot pics," than "I think you're very handsome."

It may be important to differentiate between TV viewing and using a Smart TV to view streaming services. This isn't the 1960's anymore. It has only been a few years where we can view Oscar nominated movies in the comfort of our homes, just weeks before the Oscar's. To me, quality of life often means having quality culture in your life. I have always loved the movies, well, visual storytelling to be more precise, and I designate the best of the best as quality culture.

Party pooper. 🙂 It's much more fun to come here and diss the rejection. Everyone needs a little therapy now and again. I was told this was a red flag. Telling a stranger that "he's very handsome" before meeting him implies you are not attractive. Of course the provider could be absolutely wrong, but red flags are still red flags.

I doubt anyone is surprised that Netflix is raising their prices once again. I sincerely doubt the streaming wars are going to end up being beneficial to the consumer. I sure do miss the DVD-in-the-mail days, when you had easy access to all those wonderful special features at no extra cost. I think paying for a service that forces you to tolerate these endless ads is insane. It won't surprise me if YouTube goes this route. When it comes to ads, Hulu seems to be the greatest offender. It feels like there is a 2-minute ad every 5 minutes. Streaming seems headed for ad dominance, far worse than network television. If you don't want the ads, you better be rich. Those high monthly fees will ad up very fast. Amazon Prime has an endless catalogue of movies. Once you finish with the few good ones, there's an abundance of mediocre garbage to sift through. I guess this is true of most of the services today. These companies can't produce content fast enough, and fast content usually means shitty content. Can the marketplace accept what's coming? The only way to fight back is to end your subscription, and tell them it's because of the ads and the rising monthly cost. How many American couch potatoes are willing to do that? I may have to go back to reading books. A quality life involving a TV is difficult to find these days.

Sorry if that's true. I always do a search before posting, but who knows about this search feature. Nothing came up.

I finally saw it, just before my third free-trial expires. I hung in there. It's well crafted, but kind of slow going. Once again, it's a film about relationships. The father is a famous film director, while the one daughter is an anxiety-ridden stage actress. In many ways it's a beautiful film. Several critics said it was their best film of 2025. Would love to know what others thought.

In the early days, I think Studio 54 used to say "your outfit doesn't qualify."

I'm not usually a fan of Will Arnett, but I thought he did a great job in this film. It's a slow-going film about relationships, so it probably isn't for everyone. I always enjoy Laura Dern. Andra Day was good, too. I like what Bradley Cooper did with this.

Very interesting movie. Hard to believe the formerly jailed director managed to stay out of jail while making this film in Iran without permits. I can see why many critics loved this movie.

I don't think it's legal to turn people away based on looks. I think keeping them on the line and not letting them in is a way to skirt the law.

This mystery is growing on me. I like Richard Jenkins as a detective. Peter Sarsgaard plays older gay really well. Jason Bateman has a very strange body. Super-skinny arms. They show him shirtless and in bathing trunks, but he's oddly not sexy to look at almost naked.

Sorry, but that analogy doesn't work for me. "Dress code" in a restaurant is an instruction, it's not a judgment. Restaurants don't care about who made your dinner jacket, or how you look in it, as long as you're wearing one. This is not the same thing as a sex worker attempting to discriminate based on looks.

Damn, his body looks great. He's got lots of workout videos on the internet. Has anyone been with him fresh from a workout? Does he have seductive body odor?

I thought this was something smart to consider. Thanks for saying it. Criminal activity has always been a step away from sex work by default. If deposits do become a thing, that spells easy money for the criminals. How could they resist from jumping on that band wagon? The vast majority of victims would never file an official complaint given the circumstances. My former partner was a celebrity hairdresser. For engagements estimated at $1000 or more, he required a work order, which was another name for a work contract. Both parties had to sign, and a 50% deposit was required before work commenced. I believe this is standard procedure at this level. It was a legal document there for protection, for both parties. I doubt you could have something like this for illegal activity. So there's no point comparing a legal, "professional," situation to anything else. Deposits without legal papers to back them up require an enormous amount of trust. As it stands now, I don't think that kind of trust exists in the American sex work community. If you do send a deposit, it's like booking an airbnb off of craigslist. You just have to assume it's gone forever, until it isn't.

Oscar viewership drops 9%. Who didn't see this coming? I know a fair share of "cultured" people who have not yet seen most of the nominated movies. That's what I call lackluster interest in NYC. Sorry about the pay wall. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/17/business/media/oscars-academy-awards-ratings.html

At 57, that's around when it starts to show on men. Considering much of the story is centered on weird, possibly kinky sex, Jason is reluctant to show us anything. I know they're using it for the character, but I can't believe how much weight David Harbour gained. Harbour is showing much more skin than Bateman. (Edit) I just found out Harbour is wearing a 30-pound prosthetic belly.

Plus Barbra could sing her Oscar/Grammy-winning song. Good luck topping that, Jane.

I know I'm very old, and the brain no longer understands many things, but, I just read that Chaz Bono recently got married, and they created a website to crowd-source funding for their honeymoon. In the meantime, Cher shows up at the wedding, supposedly wearing a $300,000 diamond ring. Is it me, or is something odd about all this?

I didn't realize Jane Fonda was at the Oscar's. She had a word or two about Streisand speaking about Redford.

But why do they deserve such harsh judgment, especially from people who don't work in the industry? People who make movies commit years of their life. The sacrifices can be enormous for all the artists and craftspeople involved. Most of those jobs are barely middle-class incomes. No one in the film business can make a movie on his or her own. I absolutely hate when the orchestra cuts off a speech. Fine, take the show off network TV, and let it run for 5 hours. I'd probably still watch. No matter how the speech is crafted or delivered, I enjoy learning more about some of these artisans and tech geniuses.

I saw a YouTube video talking about the changes that were coming. I don't usually eat fast food, so I had no idea that Burger King was having problems. I remember as a teenager, I preferred their burgers over McDonald's. I love grilled beef.

Several critics were talking about the sound problems in the show, saying it was inexcusable. When Streisand was escorted to the stand and began speaking, I could barely hear her. I had to turn the volume up. It was interesting that for the singing, she was given a different microphone. The whole presentation seemed strange, but I'm glad she's still getting gussied up and going out.

That's an over-simplification. Everyone with an award in show business can benefit financially. People in the arts aren't the only professionals who use award recognition on their CVs, bios, or promotional packages. It's very much a part of the PR process for all concerned.

I'm a longtime Streisand fan. I think I once owned every LP. I always admired her perfectionism. At 83, the instrument is nowhere near the same, and I'm surprised she bothered to sing. Normally, she refuses. I don't have a need or a desire to listen to famous singers sing past the age of 80. I did enjoy her personal tribute to Robert Redford, but I'm one of the few fans who did not love the movie, The Way We Were. As for her looks, it seems to me she has thrown in the towel. I think she could look so much better, but she doesn't care what I think. I don't think I've ever missed an Oscar episode. I've been an avid movie goer since my teens, and I've followed the Oscars just as long. I watch more movies now than ever, and I pay attention to who does what behind the scenes. So I enjoy seeing creative people I sort of know get recognized. The stage design of this show was awful. For actors, they had these very dark panels slide down with photos of the nominated actors, but everything was so dark, you couldn't tell who anyone was. The camera shots of the actor panels were so quick, there was no time for the eyes to focus on anything. It was a visual mess, and I found it all very frustrating.
