Can someone explain the intended appeal of this? Also, is this specifically geared towards men with smaller penises?

I can’t wait to see this production. She’s the draw. This show will likely close once she decides to leave. It will also be weird to step into the Majestic for the first time in decades without seeing Phantom.

Yes, twice. First, I sought the services of a provider after my college boyfriend committed suicide. I lost my virginity to this provider. He knew it was my first time but didn’t know the story about my boyfriend. I can’t overstate how amazing this man was and the gift he gave me. Of course, I “fell in love” with him, thinking this older man was the solution to all my problems. I wanted to see him again, but he had the wherewithal and wisdom to say no. Instead, he gave me the greatest thing he could have ever given me—his friendship. Not just as an acquaintance, but a real, true friendship. This man helped me in ways I can’t describe, taught me things, and truly cared for me. He was right. The second time was with a provider who quickly became a regular. It started as a comedy of errors—wrong hotel, giggles during sex, missed cues, shared laughs, and unexpected common interests. From the moment he walked in, this man made me feel at ease in seconds. He was insanely charming, funny, kind, and smart. Our sessions always went over—2 hours turned into several, several turned into overnights. He always looked uncomfortable taking my money. I’d leave it in an envelope on the stand, and he’d leave without taking it. I’d run out to hand it to him. Many times, he denied his fee, which left me feeling at odds and completely confused. When he refused his fee, I insisted it was his tip. I never had this problem before and wasn’t sure how to handle it. One day, almost a year in and countless, deep conversations and personal stories later, he asked if I wanted to see a movie or have dinner if I wasn’t busy. I looked at him stunned. When I didn’t respond, he rattled off in his very funny, yet serious way other alternatives if I didn’t want to do that, like go on a museum tour, hop on the Staten Island Ferry and view the Statue of Liberty, or get a caricature drawing in Central Park. I laughed. I should have taken that opening to really understand what this was, but when he then said, “Let’s go, it’ll be fun. We’ll go as friends,” I thought, okay, friends. I said yes. We ended up doing the caricature drawing in Central Park, followed by dinner. We went back to his apartment. We had sex, and when I say it was different, it was so different. When it was over, he looked at me. My heart was pounding. I knew in that moment I was in love with this man, but I didn’t say it out loud. I couldn’t speak. He didn’t say anything either. He just rested his forehead against mine, and we held each other in silence. After that night, I made the fatal error once more of not speaking to him and asking what this was and expressing to him how I felt. Instead, I said my firm was having a summer retreat, and I’d like to bring him as my plus one. And that I’d pay him. He said I didn’t have to pay him, but I insisted. He agreed. We went. It was the usual, obnoxious affair. Everyone was more interested in him than anything else. He was amazing. Charming as fuck. We separated a few times. I got pulled into different directions. He kept his eyes glued to me the entire time. I walked back up to him and said something I wish I could take back. I realized it the moment the words came out of my mouth. I said, “You fit right in. I knew you would. A lot of money to be made here. See anyone that catches your eye?” He turned and looked at me like I punched him in the face. He was silent for a long time. He said, “Yeah, a few.” When we got back to the hotel, I immediately apologized and said I never meant to hurt him. He was a proud man, deeply proud—his family had instilled that in him. His pride wasn’t just about self-respect—it was about being someone you could count on, someone who stood tall. I had wounded that pride, and I could see it in the way he held himself in that moment. I insulted him. And I hurt him. He said for someone so smart, I could be incredibly clueless. I apologized again. I told him I didn’t understand what was happening and didn’t want to lose this. He grabbed his bag, left the envelope I had given him on the bed, and right before he left, I’ll never forget it - he looked me in the eye and said: “I lied. There was one. Only one.” Many lessons were drawn from that experience—about myself, my almost methodical business stance on these transactions.

In the context of a paid escort, the dynamics are inherently transactional, which makes the emotional landscape very different. While it’s natural for feelings to develop over time, it’s important to recognize that the other person may not be emotionally available in the same way. If you’re starting to feel more emotionally invested, it’s crucial to set boundaries for yourself. I would probably ask myself: Can this relationship realistically provide what I need emotionally? If you took the money out of the equation, would the connection still exist? If the answer is no, it might be wise to stop seeing them before it becomes too painful. Remember, your well-being is the priority, and it’s okay to protect your heart. If the answer is yes, then have that conversation with the provider. But know that the feelings may not be reciprocated, and that could end the professional relationship right there.

The guy in the white shirt, with his mouth hanging open, holding up the naked guy’s left leg is at perfect eye level. He’s going to do everything humanly possible to prop that man up—even if it means grabbing the other leg with his other hand. Bottoms up!

I have to admit, I didn’t know what this was (yes, I know who ABBA is), but I had no idea what ABBA Voyage was about. I can’t believe it’s a 90-minute concert featuring them as avatars—looks pretty impressive. Is it creepy? I watched a video and saw they even created a special theater for the show in East London. From what I understand, there are tiered ticket options—my vote would definitely be for the dance booth tickets—did I get that right? A private section with your own seats for you and your friends, space to dance, and a bartender? Now that sounds like fun!

Kudos to the emotional support catfish twink.

You can’t avoid what other people may say. You have regulars, so clearly, it hasn’t been an issue—and that says a lot about you. This is the last thing you should worry about.

Attractiveness is subjective. What I find appealing, someone else might not. While it may catch my eye briefly, there has to be substance for me to maintain any real interest. Business IS business, and professionalism should always outweigh personal bias.

Some days, I feel old enough to think I’ve lived through those 18th-century revolutions myself, but fortunately, the founding fathers gave us the tools to avoid resorting to violence today. History does teach us a lot. Revolutions were often born out of extreme oppression and injustice, leaving people with few options. However, in today’s world, we have more tools—like laws, systems of accountability, and reform—to address systemic issues without resorting to violence.

The term “Daddy” can mean different things depending on the context and the person using it, but it generally refers to an older, more mature individual who exudes confidence, stability, and a nurturing or protective demeanor. For some, it’s about physical attraction to someone older and more experienced, often tied to a sense of security or wisdom. For others, it may carry a financial undertone, where the dynamic involves a desire for support or being taken care of materially. When younger people say they prefer “Daddy types,” it could be purely complimentary, signaling admiration for qualities like maturity, charisma, or life experience. On the other hand, it might hint at a relationship dynamic they’re seeking, whether emotional, psychological, or financial. The term “Daddy Issues” usually refers to unresolved feelings or patterns stemming from someone’s relationship with their father, which might influence their preferences or attachments in adulthood. But it’s important to remember that not everyone attracted to “Daddy types” fits this stereotype—sometimes, it’s just a genuine preference! Ultimately, it’s a spectrum, as you said, and context matters. If someone seems sincere, they probably are. And if their interest feels transactional, well, at least they’re being clear about it! Nothing wrong with cutting through the posturing and having an honest conversation to figure out where you both stand.

Agreed. For some, hiring an escort might address immediate physical needs, but over time, regular encounters can allow intimacy to develop. Repeated experiences with the same person can create a sense of familiarity, trust, and emotional connection—elements that I believe form the foundation of intimacy. This is why some people may find it difficult—understandably so—to separate the transactional nature of the arrangement from the emotional bond that emerges. After all, you are experiencing the very best of the provider every time you meet. Intimacy isn’t just about the physical act; it’s about feeling seen, understood, and valued. Providers excel at creating these moments, offering undivided attention and emotional presence. When these interactions are consistent, it’s natural for feelings of closeness to grow, blurring the lines between a paid service and a deeper emotional connection.

People don’t have to sympathize with the deceased, but premeditated murder is a crime. Period. Normalizing such behavior opens the door to future violence as a solution to injustice. This isn’t just about one person or incident—it’s about how we, as a society, respond to systemic harm. Unethical practices, like using AI to deny life-saving claims, require legal action, not vigilantism. Change through reform takes time—it’s frustrating! Always has been. Always will be. But, it’s the only way to create meaningful progress. We must demand accountability through the rule of law and address systemic failures. Justice must always be pursued within a legal framework to prevent further harm. I say that knowing the law doesn’t always get it right—but it’s the best system we have to ensure accountability and prevent chaos.

It takes a lot to make a movie, and even more to make a gay one. I applaud any actor—especially a straight actor—who is willing to lend their name and talent to help get a gay movie greenlit and its story told. (I’d also add his detective character from Knives Out to that list.)

The sad part about this case is that this young man felt the need to shoot and kill a man in broad daylight, not to mention the failures of our healthcare system.

https://goldenglobes.com The Golden Globe nominations are out. What did you think? Snubs? Surprises? My surprise? Hugh Grant snagged a nod for Best Actor… in a Musical or Comedy for Heretic, a psychological horror thriller where he plays a deranged madman who kidnaps and tortures two Mormon missionaries. Because nothing says “musical or comedy” like religious fanaticism, torture, and murder!

What a wasted life. Sad all around.

Keeping emotional boundaries is important for providers, I completely agree, especially when intimacy is involved. And for clients!! That said, as I mentioned, assuming personal boundaries weren’t crossed, if maintaining boundaries was the provider’s primary concern, it seems there could have been a more direct or professional way to handle it rather than pulling away or being subtle about it. Clear communication would benefit both parties—allowing him to maintain professionalism while still valuing the trust and consistency of a regular client. Subtlety tends to lose its power in situations like this—especially when there’s already been a level of intimacy involved. The act itself removes a layer of pretense, making subtle signals far less likely to land as intended.

As a man also up there in years, I understand where you’re coming from. But my advice would be: don’t make that assumption or decision for the provider. Even when I was younger, I couldn’t really know if a provider was genuinely attracted to me—and honestly, that was never something I could control then or now. Is my body the same as when I was 25? No. But I’ve learned it’s not about trying to get inside the provider’s head. That’s not something I need to question. At the end of the day, this is a business transaction. Let the provider decide how they feel about you, and I can say with certainty that for true professionals, it comes down to respect, decency, kindness, and hygiene. Focus on what you bring to the connection and the moments you share together.

Hands gripped on the sofa… the backwards baseball cap… yeah, he’s gonna feel it. 😍

Assuming personal boundaries weren’t being crossed, from a purely business standpoint, it doesn’t make much sense to me why a provider would push away a known, steady regular — especially after a vacation trip where he was paid even more. For the sake of argument, if his goal as you say was simply to secure a trip, you’d think he’d want to maintain or even strengthen the connection in hopes of getting more trips or consistent work. One thing to consider — and this is important for you — is whether you can truly move past this if you continue seeing him. If this situation is going to gnaw at you during sessions, especially when being intimate, you need to address it now. Otherwise, you’re spending money on an experience you won’t fully enjoy. Consider sending him that message (or a variation thereof). It allows you to gauge his response without making things awkward or jeopardizing future encounters. If what you really want is closure, then feel free to say what’s in your heart. Just keep in mind that’s a hard, if not impossible, road to come back from if you later decide you want to continue a professional relationship. Ultimately, the choice you need to make is whether you want to preserve that connection or express your hurt and disappointment at the risk of burning the bridge.

Eyes meet… that smile with the tongue… 😍

Age should not be a barrier to having a fulfilling sexual experience, especially with an escort. If it feels like it is, you haven’t found the right escort. They are out there.

Agreed. And I have enjoyed him 😊
