Wow this was the first time hearing this. Oh boy. This show is not gonna last long. They got the whole feel of it wrong, especially with that number. They’re banking on a known IP that wasn’t a “smash” to begin with for NBC (couldn’t resist the pun). Next time the lights dim on Broadway, you can bet it’ll be this show getting the last curtain call—and not in a good way.

I see your points, interesting observations. I really love the music in Dear Evan Hansen, but I thought the story was weak. The movie was awful!! I agree with you on La La Land—it was okay. The Greatest Showman felt surface level, but I still got caught up in the music.

This take reeks of entitlement, like condoms and lube are just inconveniences to the almighty top. Confidence isn’t demanding sacrifice; it’s ensuring mutual pleasure. Try generosity—it lasts longer than spit.

This isn’t niche—it’s just selfish. Prioritizing that extra bit of sensation at the bottom’s expense—especially if you’re well-endowed—can be uncomfortable or even harmful. Lube exists for a reason, and going without, can cause real issues. Use saliva - something!! If the goal is mutual pleasure, it’s important to consider what works for both partners, not just what maximizes your own sensation.

That stuffed monkey would give me nightmares.

👏👏👏

You should have their undivided attention the entire time you are paying them. Period!

They are. They really elevated dated material. Of their work, what do you consider a miss? I saw Dogfight off Broadway and enjoyed it. Derek Klena has turned into a nice leading man.

If my partner needs a stuffed animal to sleep, I volunteer as tribute. But if I have to fight a teddy bear for bed space, we need to reevaluate this relationship.

No reviews in 7 years? Since inception? Wow.

The sound of Christmas at my house doesn’t begin until Johnny Mathis is playing.

The last time that happened for me was about 40 years ago. LOL

I love you Callas, but I don’t know what to make of this review. LOL He’s a top 5 favorite of yours, but he smells so bad that it made you uncomfortable and you didn’t kiss him because of it? Was it his breath that smelled of death or was it body odor? Or both? So basically at $500 per hour, he’s great if I just put a close pin on my nose and kiss anything but his mouth?

Understood! 👍🏻

Providers are offering something that often goes beyond what the average person might have in terms of physicality, and I think most providers would agree. When you scroll through platforms like RM, you’ll notice that most of the men featured tend to have sculpted bodies and above-average attributes. Beauty is currency, and if you have a big dick, that’s another layer of currency. So, when a provider puts an ad up to the general public and opens the door to a client who may not meet that same standard, it shouldn’t come as a shock. The provider is opening the door to a human being who may have a different body type or size than what’s common in the escort space. Providers who enter this space know they’re offering something unique, and that uniqueness is the very thing they are capitalizing on. Some do it better than others, and those that do are the ones who, I’d argue, are very empathetic. They’re aware that the clients they see may not always look like the idealized images online. I think most providers understand what they’re getting themselves into and shouldn’t be unpleasantly surprised by the variety of body types or features they encounter. If they are, then they’re probably in the wrong profession. That’s why the few providers I’ve become friends with who’ve retired never bothered asking for stats.

Hey @56harrisond - is he a porn star?

If I understand correctly, a sex therapist provides counseling, advice, and therapeutic techniques to address sexual issues. A sex surrogate, on the other hand, can engage in physical intimacy with a client as part of the therapeutic process. However, this is done in a very controlled and professional environment, with clear boundaries and under the supervision of a licensed therapist or psychologist. The goal is to help the client address emotional, psychological, or physical challenges related to intimacy and sexual function. The sessions are designed to help the client feel more comfortable with their sexuality, overcome specific issues (such as sexual dysfunction, trauma, or intimacy issues), and gain greater confidence in their sexual and emotional life. These terms weren’t prevalent when I was coming of age; if they did, I certainly wasn’t aware of them. I lost my virginity to an escort and sought one out specifically due to past trauma. I would say he acted, for me, very much like a sex surrogate in that regard.

Welcome to legal challenges. Proving intent is often tricky, especially in discrimination cases. Direct evidence (like an explicit statement of bias) is rare, so most cases rely on circumstantial evidence, patterns of behavior, or disparate impact (when a policy disproportionately affects a protected group, even without explicit intent). BUT, the escort industry operates in a very legal gray area, particularly here in the U.S. (I should clarify that), making legal challenges difficult, especially in discrimination cases. Providers, being independent and often working in jurisdictions where escorting is prohibited, don’t have to adhere to the same anti-discrimination laws as businesses that serve the general public. Even if discrimination were to occur, the nature of the business means that legal action is unlikely, as most individuals wouldn’t risk bringing a case under these circumstances. So, bottom line: it’s highly unlikely that someone would pursue a discrimination lawsuit in this context, particularly given the legal risks involved.

The legal implications of requesting a photo depend on the industry and the intent behind the request. In employment law, asking for a photo with a resume can raise discrimination concerns under federal laws like Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. Escorting operates in a completely different legal gray area. Without going down a rabbit hole, let’s just say providers generally have more discretion in choosing their clientele, as they are not considered public accommodations like beauty salons or spas, which are subject to anti-discrimination laws. A provider asking for a photo is usually about comfort, safety, or personal preference rather than unlawful discrimination. Ultimately, while a business open to the public must be careful, an independent provider has more freedom to set their own terms.

I agree - it’s not common, but it does happen. Even with the money you’re paying, you don’t mind if a provider looks at porn or closes his eyes? That part has never happened to me, and I must say, I would not like that. Sure, are they probably fantasizing about someone else when they’re fucking me, perhaps. But if they are, they do a good job in pretending they’re not. I would hope that they are enjoying it as much as I am. But who knows.

That’s the perfect word: delightful. It really was. The new songs are great! I really like Pasek and Paul of the newer generation of songwriters.

A provider has every right to request a client’s photo if they choose. It’s their prerogative, and if they state it in their ad, even better—then the client can decide if it’s even worth pursuing without wasting time. Personally, only a handful have asked for a photo, and while I don’t exchange pics, I offer a FaceTime instead. That approach works beautifully, except for one provider who had the audacity to charge me for a FaceTime call after I politely declined to send a photo. Ultimately, I get the client sentiment: you’re paying a lot of money for a service, so your looks shouldn’t matter. I get it. For some being asked, that could already set a tone and be a dealbreaker. And for many providers, that’s absolutely the case—they take you as you are, no matter how you look or how old (legally of course), and everything is great. But some providers prefer to see a client first for their own reasons, and that’s their choice. Just like it’s yours to accept or move on.

I think it really depends on the two people involved. Anything is possible if they approach the relationship with honesty, communication, and love. Success will be relative to what each person values, and I don’t think it can work if both aren’t on the same page. That’s true for any relationship, really.

I saw this today because of your review. Your review is spot on. Agree with everything you said. I really enjoyed this. Thank you.
