I had an early afternoon session with Raffael a month or 2 ago, and he told me the same thing. While I love it when the person I’m with cums, I didn’t mind terribly in this case. I feel like some guys are more depleted than others after cumming, but…? In any case, the session was everything I wanted/needed otherwise, and I can’t wait until he’s back in NYC 😏

I wouldn’t say I’m experiencing burnout as I do enjoy the therapeutic part. But, I’ve been going to 27 since just this past Fall, and I’m finding that I’m less and less aroused. Not sure if it’s me, if I need more sensual and less therapeutic, if I need to go less often (1-2x per month now), or what.

These aren’t exactly what you’re looking for but check out gay author Louis Bayard’s last 3 novels, The Wildes: A Novel in 5 Acts, Jackie & Me, and Courting Mr. Lincoln. They all approach a well-known historical figure from an unexpected perspective, and are thoroughly entertaining.

Yeah - totally disagree with that. Definitely do not tip for subpar, but DO tip accordingly for good, great, exceptional service.

“For some men, reaching climax can take 30 minutes or more. Sex that lasts this long can be uncomfortable, painful and distressing for men and their partners.” I disagree 😈

I’m also pretty new and sometimes wonder if I’m spending TOO much time on this site 😜 thanks so much everyone!

I’m pulling for a Ben Shelton / Carlos Alcaraz semi in the bottom half, and a Stefanos Tsitsipas / Tommy Paul semi in the top. Obvs Medvedev & Fritz are still in it, but doesn’t feel like they have much momentum so far this year. Carlitos is gonna win it again (most likely).

There are a few player couples at the moment, including Tsitsipas & Badosa, de Minaur & Boulter, and apparently Griekspoor & Potapova. Berrettini and Tomljanovic were an item a few years ago. Of course Maddie Keys just married her coach who used to be on the men’s tour. And who knows what’s going on in the horrible (seemingly abusive) relationship between Rybakina and her coach, who has I think been banned from the tour.

I saw it in the theater last Fall. It’s kinda quiet and slow, but definitely a beautiful & powerful film, esp w these 2 incredible actresses. I thought it was an interesting choice/direction for Almodovar’s first English-language feature.

I just had my first session w Luca this week, and I mostly agree w @Occhiverdi, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and will repeat. I got the full hour, maybe a little more, and think it’s probably the most sensual massage I’ve ever had. He’s so incredibly friendly, sexy, engaged, etc. If you’re looking for therapeutic though, he’s probably not your guy.

I was hoping to watch the 2 players I love to hate — Djoker and Kyrgios — play each other in the 2nd rd, but it looks like Kyrgios’s career might be done. (Karma?) @Charlie when was Andy Murray ever sexy? 🤢 Tennis has sooooo many hot men - don’t think he was ever among them though. Draper vs Fonseca and Anisimova vs Bencic today should both be really good matches.

Some of the Brazilian masseurs have fled the Winter for Carnival. Color me jealous.

Any other tennis fanatics out there? Who are your picks for Indian Wells, men & women? Both feel somewhat wide open. I’d say Carlitos is the men’s fave, but he’s scheduled to meet Djoker in the Qrtrs. I know he’s a bit of a weirdo, but I love Tsitsipas’s game and hope he makes a deep run. Not thrilled that he’s slated to meet my husband - lol - Matteo Berrettini in rd 3. Would also love to see Ben Shelton go deep. For the women, I’m pulling for Madison Keys to keep it going; hope she and Sabalenka have a rematch in the semis. Bottom half of that draw feels like a toss-up to me, but it’s probably Iga’s to lose imo.

So, anyone who “tinkers” with their face has an illness? That seems harsh. Their business is so heavily reliant on their image — I don’t see how you can judge them for doing what they may think is necessary to keep earning a living. Some go too far of course, but…

I just want to put in a good word for Giovanni. He is super cute, v friendly/nice, totally focused on you, and gives a really thorough massage that includes going deep where necessary, stretching, etc. And I left happy both times 😉 Definitely recommend.

If I’m that masseur, I would then NOT consider you a preferred client, and would stick to the absolute basics if you ever came to see me again. But clearly I’m in the minority here.

First half of the movie is great; 2nd half falls apart; and at 3.5 hrs, it’s far too long in general. Brody is solid but hasn’t he done quite similar roles before (so not exactly trying something new)? Personally not interested in seeing him nude. I don’t love Timothy Chalamet, but think he was incredible in the Bob Dylan movie and should win the Oscar. But it’s all so subjective.

Agreed but talk about belaboring the issue. Pot kettle. and talk to my masseur who, though he may provide (unrequested) services that would make YOU consider him an escort, absolutely does not consider himself one.

lol - again, relating this profession to that of doctors, lawyers, plumbers and others with a reliable income, health insurance, paid vacations, etc. it’s just beyond ridiculous. Yes, it’s (most likely) their choice to do this, but try putting yourself in their shoes anyway. your dentist diagnoses a health issue and treats it bc that’s their job, and bc your condition will worsen if they don’t. your massage therapist decides to go above and beyond (not necessarily at your request; mine was a pleasant surprise) for whatever reason — that’s NOT their job. Will it kill you to reward them, as they have rewarded you?

I went to see a guy who I personally think is 🔥🔥🔥 for the first time about a month ago on the West side of manhattan for a therapeutic/erotic combo massage. His rate is $250. Had the massage been solid w basic extras, I would have probably tipped 10-20%. But we ended up having sex that I thoroughly enjoyed, so I tipped him 40% (bc he went well above & beyond the expected). I would have been embarrassed / felt guilty had I not, and wanted to see him again…soon. After I saw him the 2nd time, he sent me a price promotion for our 3rd mtg. I say tip all of your providers guys — and tip the ones at the spas even more — esp if they’re making you happy. If not - well that’s a different story. PS I do not get these comparisons to other professions. Doesn’t equate for me.

He’s fantastic — super nice, passionate, eager to please, sexy, great tools, w/in your budget. Highly recommend. Hope he’s here when you are. Also recommend TopMediterranean from your list. Younger and less passionate, but still hot fun. Enjoy!

I thought some of you here might be interested in listening to the prolific gay literary icon Ed White talk about his new book, The Loves of My Life: A Sex Memoir: https://www.kirkusreviews.com/podcast/2025-01-28/

I haven’t been in years but I believe The Cock in the E Village is still the best known in NYC.

The guy I met w/ accepted PayPal, but again, his rate was much lower than what it would be in the States / NYC, so still what I would consider a bargain.
