One of the best things I’ve read here.

A link? Sure. An introduction? Absolutely. Throw your hat in the ring. By all means.
But when the details start spiraling into CACLSD metrics and why being cocky is justified because of it… that’s when it stops being impressive and starts reading like overcompensation.
Confidence doesn’t need a calculator.

Have fun… I’ll say a prayer for your hole!

6-inches?  I could carry you in my shirt pocket - do you live in Lilliput?   

Awwww that's a sweet story to read, true gentle giants very rare. 

I have no experience with this guy whatsoever, but I recall seeing this thread and pictures of the provider in sports gear who may be able to offer what you’re looking for. Some forum members mentioned in the thread may be able to opine, or you can reach out to the provider directly. Good luck.

To be honest, when I first saw his ad, he wasn’t someone I would have been immediately drawn to based on his tattoos and piercings. He also comes across to me in his photos as very intimidating. It’s just not typically my type. 
But there was something in his ad copy that caught my attention—he described himself as a “gentle giant,” and I thought, really? Okay, why not give it a shot?
Once we started texting and talking, I was really surprised in the best way. He was incredibly sweet and easy to connect with. When we met in person, I was impressed not just by how strong he was physically (rock hard body), but also by how true he was to his words—he really was the gentle giant I was looking for. Present. Engaged. Really cared about my experience. It was an unexpectedly great time, and I thought he was a lot of fun.  
The lesson here, and one that I was reminded of, is don’t always judge a book by its cover. I was very wrong about him.

Yes! This man.

That’s nice to hear you had such a positive experience and connected so well! Thanks for sharing the recommendation. Just a thought: since he initiated the idea of having a drink, it might’ve been considerate for him to offer to cover it, assuming he didn’t, as you mentioned buying his beer. Especially since that was outside the agreed-upon arrangement. Otherwise, it sounds like a really memorable meeting!

I think the younger generation, because they grew up with the internet, they are so inundated with all these unrealistic body standards. They’re constantly bombarded with hyper-edited images that make anyone feel self-conscious. And the kind of porn that’s available to them now is so different from what we had growing up—it’s everywhere, and it sets this crazy standard that can make people feel they need to look a certain way.
I also think a lot of straight guys—though definitely not all—seem to feel like they have to appear ‘masculine’ 24/7. If they even glance at another man’s body, they’re suddenly ‘gay’ or something, and that’s a big deal to them. Sad.

I agree that it’s not the provider’s job to police the client’s emotions, but as the professional in this arrangement, I do believe it is incumbent upon the provider to set and enforce clear emotional boundaries to ensure a healthy, respectful dynamic—even if it means ceasing the provider/client relationship. Why? Because for many clients, the provider is the fantasy come to life. For a price! You may be the best sex they’ve ever had or will ever have, the best cock they’ve ever experienced or will ever experience, or the best body they’ve ever touched or will ever touch.
For many clients, you may be the only body they can touch, and only because they are paying for it.
You are giving them your time, attention, and physical affection, and for many clients, that creates an emotional connection. For some, that would never happen if they weren’t paying. For a novice, it’s easy to see why many clients can become emotionally attached.
Knowingly leveraging a client’s emotional attachment to secure recurring business crosses an ethical line. Emotional attachment should never be manipulated for profit. Ceasing future interactions when boundaries are clearly crossed—and knowing when the attachment goes beyond the professional—is a necessary responsibility and obligation of the provider to protect both parties and maintain a healthy, respectful dynamic.

Negotiating a provider’s rate is uncouth—you’ll come off as cheap, which is far worse than any concern they might secretly have about your looks.

In our society, masculinity is often tied to physical attributes, particularly the size of a man’s penis. This fixation can lead to feelings of inadequacy among men who believe they don’t measure up. It’s an unfortunate narrative that equates worth with size—whether it’s a big house, a big job, big money, or a big dick.
The famous gay porn film “The Bigger the Better,” featuring Matt Ramsey and Rick Donovan, says it all in its title.
These ideals are especially prevalent in traditionally conservative areas, where rigid norms overshadow diverse expressions of male identity. This creates challenges for those who are gay or don’t conform, as acceptance tends to be limited.
In contrast, urban settings offer greater acceptance and a wider array of identities, allowing individuals to embrace their authentic selves. This raises the question: how can we redefine masculinity to celebrate diversity rather than conforming to narrow standards? We need to foster a culture where every individual feels valued, regardless of their physical attributes. Hopefully, I will see more of this change in my lifetime.

Sadly the screen for some feels more real than in the flesh. Different generation.
