@Lucky I want you to know that you’re not alone in feeling this sadness and frustration. Living through the AIDS epidemic was a time of unimaginable horror and heartbreak, and it’s sad to see how those memories fade from collective consciousness, especially when the passage of time dulls the urgency for those not directly impacted. But for those of us who lived through it, the weight of those experiences remains with us, and it’s important we continue to remember. @mike carey Your words beautifully capture the importance of keeping these memories alive and honoring the collective and personal experiences of those affected. I feel the sadness and weight of this history alongside you and others here, and I appreciate your thoughtful effort to highlight this. It’s vital that we continue to speak about and share what we lived through, so that it’s not forgotten, and that those we lost are always remembered. Remembering isn’t just about looking back—it’s also about honoring the courage and resilience of those who came before us, ensuring their legacy continues to inspire and educate future generations. Spaces like this, along with organized efforts within our community, offer a chance for us to share, reflect, and support each other in keeping these memories alive.

I saw Wicked today and thoroughly enjoyed it. I was quite impressed and consider it one of the best stage-to-screen transfers. My only quibble was the extensive dialogue breaks during the Defying Gravity number—they really disrupt the momentum of that song!

That is what has struck me about this forum, which I really appreciate. Thank you again! I also neglected to extend my thanks earlier to @56harrisond; I’d be remiss not to acknowledge his posts as well. I’ve enjoyed them all!

This is one of my favorite angles in porn.

His eyes aren’t just something to look at—they’re something to drown in, endless and overwhelming, like diving into an ocean you never want to surface from. His face, solid and safe, carries a kind of handsome that feels timeless, the kind that anchors you, a quiet strength framed by the rough beauty of his scruffy beard and broad features. He’s the kind of man who makes your pulse trip over itself, leaving you unsteady in the best way.

No experience with him. My suggestion would be to reach out and get a feel for yourself if his profile interests you. The clean-shaven photos seem to be from about a year ago. His ad copy is thoughtful and appealing, especially if that setup and connection align with your hopes for the encounter. That said, the tone of the ad feels more mature than I’d expect from someone his age, which is why a quick chat might help. See if his vibe matches, and don’t hesitate to express any concerns about timing upfront.

Megan is such a talent. She was an amazing Glinda! I enjoyed her in 9 to 5, and I’m looking forward to seeing her in Death Becomes Her.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out. The fee for entry has sparked backlash from the Catholic Church, which argues that charging for access to a religious space contradicts the values of accessibility and inclusivity. The issue is further complicated by France’s 1905 law on secularism, which prohibits charging for visits to religious sites. The Church has also raised concerns about the difficulty of distinguishing between tourists and worshippers, a distinction the fee would create. They argue that enforcing this could harm the cathedral’s mission to remain open to all.

All the time! I didn’t even know this existed until two months ago. Reviews provide a good baseline, but ultimately, I rely on my own interactions with the provider, their ad copy, pictures, and my gut instincts.

I just wanted to take a moment to acknowledge this incredible forum and everyone who has contributed to keeping it alive and meaningful. I stumbled upon this site while looking up the Neil LaBute film and was pleasantly surprised by what I found. As someone new here, I’m truly blown away by how special this space is. To all the moderators who volunteer their time and energy—thank you for making this possible. And to users like @marylander1940, @Whitman @Danny-Darko (and others whose handles I can’t remember), who fill my days with a variety of stunning pictures of sexy, gorgeous men—you’re appreciated more than you know. Thank you for making this community such a joy to be part of! Hopefully I’ll still be around in 15 years. 🤞

Marcus is wonderful—kind, sexy, and the kind of man who makes you melt in his arms. He’s deeply passionate and approaches his work with unwavering seriousness. Intuitive and fully present, he has a way of making you feel truly special, as if you’re the only person in the world. With his gorgeous body and the perfect tool for the job, he’s great!!

Feels very a propos.

Since October 5… 2024! 56 days for me. Fair to say this site is important to me too.

I would guess his age is listed this way on RM due to the filter settings. If he used his real age, it could impact his visibility in search results for people looking for younger men. It’s a business decision. Age in gay years is like dog years—every year feels like seven. It’s a shame in many ways. He should be proud of his age and the experience he brings. By not being upfront about it, he risks disappointing clients who are expecting someone much younger when they open the door. Personally, I’ve always been drawn to older, more mature men. Even when I was younger, I gravitated toward the older guys.

If I were sad, alone and desolate… yeah, I’d appreciate his 11.5 inch cock too!

Agreed! This was beautiful!

Are you seriously saying there’s “no such thing as hate speech?” What exactly do you think calling someone “dirty f*****” is? It’s textbook hate speech—language meant to degrade, insult, and dehumanize based on their identity. If you’re not prepared to call it what it is, why bother posting about it at all?

What’s the fiber count on those shorts—zero?

You’ve had four or five great appointments with someone you’ve described as one of your favorites. Maybe it’s worth revisiting after the dust settles? If you trust him and you’ve developed a rapport, maybe it’s worth trying again? In the meantime, definitely explore your options. Happy birthday!

Thanks for the review. I often find it hard to separate such well-known actors from the iconic figures they’re portraying. For instance, when I watched The Iron Lady, I couldn’t help but see Meryl Streep playing or imitating Margaret Thatcher the entire time, rather than losing myself in the character.

Photos are definitely real. I’ve seen him twice—last time was about a year ago. I have no doubt he still looks just as incredible—this man keeps himself in shape! He’s a sight to behold: very masculine, alpha, and all muscle. When he wraps his arms and body around you, you’re done. I thought he was friendly, kind, and we kissed. Beer-can-thick cock and he knows how to use it. Recommend!

If you’re riding, you’re pretty much in control. And when you’re in positions where the top sets the pace and depth—if he’s really attentive and caring—you’ll find yourself taking him balls deep, even a massive cock, because you want him. And for those bottoms who clench or grip his cock when he leaves it buried inside, while locking eyes? Brace yourself! You’re in for an ass-pounding that feels like worship. 😉

I hear what you’re saying about valuing gestures of real support over just words, and I get how that sentiment comes from lived experiences where advice might have felt empty or unhelpful. But I’d like to offer a different perspective on this idea. Sometimes, it’s precisely when we feel like others can’t directly solve our problems—or when their support doesn’t come in tangible forms like paying bills—that we need to lean into the advice being offered. Not all advice is created equal, of course, but dismissing it based on whether someone’s materially invested in your life could mean missing out on insights that might resonate or help. We don’t always get the messages we need in the ways we want to hear them. Sometimes, those who can’t walk in your shoes still see a path you might not have noticed yet. And it’s not about someone thinking they know better—it’s about caring enough to offer a perspective you can consider, reject, or adapt to your reality. Advice doesn’t have to come from someone who pays your bills to be valuable. Often, it’s the people who can’t “do” much for us who end up saying exactly what we need to hear. Consider moving some of your frustrations offline, away from a group that’s mostly made up of clients. I offer my thoughts in that spirit—with respect for your experience and a belief in your ability to keep thriving.

Having spent over 25 years as an equity partner at an Am Law 100 firm, 14 of which I served as head of my practice group, before transitioning into private consultation, I can assure you that I personally handled consultations—free of charge—and never delegated such matters to paralegals. The General Counsel of a Fortune 500 company, when considering a law firm for high-stakes legal matters, is not going to reach out to a paralegal. They need to speak directly with someone who can grasp their business needs, navigate complex legal issues, and offer actionable advice. I was the one clients like the General Counsel would contact - by phone, by e-mail, and in-person. They sought my expertise, not that of a paralegal or first-year or mid-level associate, for that critical first conversation. No, my “dick” isn’t visible, but what is visible is my extensive CV and bio, showcasing my role as head of my practice group, and they reached out to me directly, trusting my expertise. It outlined my credentials: the schools I graduated from, the bars and jurisdictions I’m admitted to practice in, articles I’ve written, conferences I’ve lectured at, my pro bono work—qualities that encouraged clients to contact me personally, ensuring they received the highest level of service. My map? That’s my office locations, where clients can easily find me. As for reviews, I’m proud to be ranked on respected platforms like Martindale-Hubbell, Super Lawyers, Who’s Who Legal, Legal 500, and AVVO. These rankings reflect my reputation in the legal community. I can relate to the time and effort involved in inquiries that don’t lead anywhere. The hours spent crafting a pitch and presentation to secure representation are far from trivial. I’ve spent days, even weeks, preparing tailored presentations and pitching to potential clients, only to find that after all that effort, the client either chooses another firm or, in some cases, has already made their decision before we even had the chance to present. It’s the same level of commitment, research, and time investment. In this line of work, it’s about building long-term relationships, not just securing one-time transactions. And yet, despite all that effort, sometimes we don’t even get the opportunity to pitch before the client has made their decision. It’s frustrating, but it’s part of the process, and that effort often pays off when we land the right client. I respect and appreciate the decisions you’ve made that work best for you. I think it’s important to recognize that what works for one may not necessarily be applicable for all. Being open to feedback and considering a range of perspectives can offer valuable insights that lead to broader success. My advice? Seek trusted counsel from close friends and fellow providers—offline. I wish you much success.
