I have fond memories of living in South Florida in 2000 when it would cost $16 to fill up my car. Of course, oil was $10 a barrel, so that helped.

I went to Acapulco in '85 with my then boyfriend and while it was fun, we didn't get a gay vibe there at all. On the beach in front of our hotel, all the guys were straight, many gorgeous but with their girlfriends. We didn't find one gay club. Also the water was filthy. I wouldn't go back.

Rio may be an exception. It's pretty authentic Brazilian, imo. I suppose you could quibble about whether it's a beach resort, but the beaches are a large reason why tourists visit.

I would think housing is the biggest factor if one is just moving to say LA, NYC or San Francisco. Fine if you bought a place 10 or 15 years ago, especially just after the real estate meltdown in 2008. But trying to get into the market today! An escort making 1000$ an hour and with a Rolodex of well healed clients could manage, I suppose, but yeah, 250,000$ a year lawyers just starting out will struggle.

I like Bruno's equipment, which is home made.😜

I checked out his semi private photos and apart from the ones showing his equipment for SM the ones of him naked are quite alluring. And I guess the ones of him dressed for domination scenes would be a turn on for this so inclined.

Didn't she form her own studio? United Artists?

I read his ad on RM and it seems he joined on Jan 3rd and in two months has been a busy guy. All positive reviews and coming in steadily from different clients, so he gets around. Lots of gushing reviews.

I've tried several times to contact Cade on RM when he was visiting Canada but he never responded. Seeing his current ad on RM, there is no rate listed and here in Canada, if he had one posted we would see it. That being said, when you see the dozen or so recent porn awards he lists, $1000 doesn't seem far fetched. It's sort of like Hollywood, once you earn an academy award, you don't do films for $50,000 any more, you add a few zeros.

I don’t think it is in her power to make the sale. Currently she is paying rent to the estate of her late husband for an apartment in, what one of her husband’s children, who is also a prince, calls the servant’s quarters.

I read in the NYT today that a Roman villa dating back 5 centuries, the Villa Aurora, is on the market for $500 million. It stands on 30 acres in the centre of Rome! It also boasts a fresco ceiling painted by Caravaggio, hence its astronomical price, apart from the location. It’s a distressed sale in a way. The current occupant is a 72 year old former American Playboy centrefold, who married an Italian prince, now deceased, who had two previous wives. She became a princess but has no money to either buy out the other heirs or fix it up, as it needs some work. Being an historic property, the authorities are on the case to ensure leaks etc are attended to promptly. The prince’s sons are trying to evict her. Now if only there were a Russian oligarch to swoop in and buy it but I guess that is no longer in the cards.

You bring an interesting perspective to the discussion. Btw, how was Sean Xavier? I wish he was still available just based on his film performances.

I have always made it a point to have sex on my birthday. When I was younger it was either with a boyfriend or a pickup from a gay bar. As I now live alone, I hire an escort and usually for an overnight. My mother had a very difficult birth with me and after more than 24 hours of labour, had to resort to a Caesarian procedure. I think of her ordeal when I'm getting plowed and thankful that she went through with it.

I still wear Speedo racers, I guess they are called. I just called them speedos and didn't realize Speedo made trunks as well. I prefer the speedos as they don't drag in the water as trunks do since I like to do laps. Once I invited an escort who was extremely well hung to my pool in a private club and he insisted on wearing a pair of shorts. He apparently didn't want to show off his magnificent basket. I'm sure the old ladies would have been impressed.

Yikes. What an overreaction. Sorry it ruined your night. And the first line in his RM ad is "easy going is an understatement". Ha!

Me too. Although I wonder what the expectations about the overnight were that the provider didn't agree to. In my case, I like several rounds but also allow the escort to sleep too. I'm never expecting non stop action during the overnight but don't mind some action if I happen to wake up in the middle, which I always do anyway when sleeping by myself to go for a pee.

I've just finished a biography of John Huston and he looks like the young John. But more than half a foot shorter than Huston. Huston was a great Hollywood director and also got more (female) ass than a public toilet seat in his lifetime.

I’ve had a premium membership for a number of years. I find all my providers on RM so the cost is minimal. With membership, you get to view semi private photos without asking, not private ones, where you still have to ask. Sometimes the private ones are the only ones with facial pics. Sometimes semi private, it depends on the escort and how he advertises. With premium you get to view any videos on the ad. Another plus.

Apparently the use of lubricants is significantly different between vaginal and anal sex. Anal has higher percentages not surprisingly. But then anuses tend to be tighter, except for those into being fisted. So I'm not certain how those trade-offs work but I know I insist on lubricants, being a bottom. I think ultimately it depends on individual factors such as how vigorous the fucking is and how prolonged. Anything overused or subject to extreme conditions will fail in the end.

The FDA has approved the first condom specifically for anal sex. The male condom called One is produced by Global Protection Corp. and it's president said that most people would be surprised that up to now condoms are not approved for anal sex. Apparently the FDA had said that condoms had to have a failure rate of less than 5 percent and earlier studies had shown condoms had shown failure rates higher than that. The new One has a failure rate, defined as slippage or breakage, of less than one percent. The companies making condoms that meet the requirements will now be able to market them for use in anal sex, something they couldn't do previously. This was reported in the NYT today and I thought it newsworthy enough to raise here.

How about "menco.org" It's simple, incorporates men and abbreviation for company, co.

Actually people from outside refer to the city as NY, NY. Even Frank Sinatra referred to it as such. Only people in Manhattan think of themselves as being the real NYorkers. 😅 Moderator note: this line of discussion is getting off-topic. Let's rein it in or start a new thread in the lounge.

This proves that San Francisco is more expensive than the other four burroughs of NYC, my original point. Manhattan is the exception. If you averaged the cost of living per capita across the 5 burroughs of NYC, I wonder whether SF would not be more expensive.

NYC has 5 burroughs of which Manhattan has the highest cost of living. The poster said NYC, not Manhattan. Not all NYC escorts live in Manhattan.

I've arranged this as a client a number of times over the years and pay each escort their standard rate. If their rates are different by say $50 or so per hour, I put the money in separate envelopes with their names before the encounter. Never had a problem and some of these I have seen again with a different escort partner. Mix and match, I call it.
