I don’t think terms such as grandchild properly convey what may be an appropriate age for someone to be dating. I am 79 so presumably someone 35 could be my grandchild. They could bald and heavyset or muscular with a moustache and tattoos. Would heads turn if I walked into a restaurant or hotel with him? I think not. On the other hand if I walked into the same venue with a 125 pound 18 year old who might pass for 16, would heads turn? I would think so. Unless they thought he was my grandson and the setting didn’t suggest otherwise.

We stayed in a hotel in a leafy suburb of Prague, which was another thing I wouldn’t have done if I had been in charge of planning the trip. It looked like an old villa, lots of charm but completely out of the action downtown. One of my travelling companions hired an escort who had a car and he drove us around quite a bit but otherwise we had to use taxis all the time. I remember going to some very expensive restaurants. The trip cost me a fortune for a ten day stay. A couple of years later I went with one of them to Brazil but I got a lot more involved in the planning so that we stayed near the action.

I have the same setup in my second bedroom which is my playroom.

I never saw or used the poppers in tubes. By the time they were circulating in the 70’s they were in brown bottles and called Rush or other brand names. We used them during sex but also when we were out at the discos. Great party enhancement, but yes, sometimes a headache after. I stopped using them by my 40’s.

These escorts we met in Prague at that time were good looking and catered to a rich clientele. I just happened to be travelling with two older rich friends from the States who had been to Prague previously and knew what they liked. It was my first trip there so enjoyed the novelty of it.

Is that where he is staying or the clients? There are other great hotels in Paris as good or better than those two. And who would want to be in Paris this summer where the temperatures are hitting 40c!

I would think that rich and good looking clients for male gay escorts are a pretty rare specimen. I would like to see the evidence that proves otherwise.

Yes I felt it was high as well. The hotel I was staying in was 5 star and very expensive also. I was travelling with two rich Americans who liked their luxury. I was 20 years younger and would have been prepared to rough it a little , maybe a 3 star lol. But to get along I went along.

I’ve had a fair bit of experience with organizing threesomes with two other providers and me. What I find best, since I am a bottom, is hiring two providers I have been with and looking for at least one to be willing to flipfuck with the other provider. Also I get to participate in this and am not just a bystander. Recently I let my regular provider recruit another he had worked with but it was a disappointing experience as he couldn’t stay hard. The previous day we had another 3 some with someone we both had met separately. That worked out very well. So take what you will from my experiences. Every situation is unique. Chemistry etc.

If you are there now, hope you are well and were not hurt in the earthquake.

Colombia has been hit by a massive earthquake. 7.4 magnitude and early reports many casualties. I hope all our posters who either live or travel there are safe.

My doctor says lower is better. My levels are low based on the statins I take.

Not to get political but seeing your juxtaposition of Ronald Reagan and Pierre Trudeau Airports made me laugh. Their terms in office overlapped at the end of Trudeau’s 16 years in office and Reagan’s start of his two terms or 8 years. Their names replaced Dorval (the Montreal suburban location of its airport) and the National in DC.

The article states that the bathhouses were not closed down by the legal change in 1986, just that they had to close the private cabins. I guess some decided to close anyway since they were losing a key attraction of the baths. Bette Midler had only so much drawing power. lol

I remember visiting the St. Mark’s Baths in the early 1980’s. It was an overwhelming experience for this guy from Canada, although I was no country bumpkin. At the time I was living in Europe and just on a visit. I had never seen an establishment like this on such a scale. In the end I didn’t do much but just gape at the spectacle.

NYTimes reports that a group of gay state lawmakers are spearheading a push to bring back spaces in gay bathhouses to permit sexual activity. These spaces were closed down in 1986 to prevent the spread of HIV. They argue it’s legal in Texas and Florida but not NY. That’s ridiculous they claim given the changes in science and attitudes and practices regarding harm reduction . It will take a year for the legislature to adopt such changes and a lot can happen in politics in that time. Still, looks like change may be coming to that great city which never sleeps.

I just read up thread about Drakes and I think that it was the place we frequently the week we were in Prague in the summer of 1999.

I was in Prague in 1999 and recall paying $150 for escort services at my hotel. We met them at a club downtown whose name I forget. It was a very popular site and I seem to remember Higgins was connected to it or his lads. Can my recollection be correct?

I actually think they are providing a public service. Shrinking the portion size is just what consumers of fast food need.

Demonstrating the frog stroke.

I’m trying to remember when I first visited Palm Springs but think it was around 1994. The second time was maybe 1996. I stayed longer the second time with friends who had winter home there. All their friends were gay and one night they threw a dinner party for me and I met them. Another night we went with a group to a gay friendly restaurant. On both visits I had the impression these folks had deep roots in PS and that the gays were an affluent crowd with some influence in the place.

I’ve just said goodbye to my regular after another overnight. We’ve done this three times since I last posted in January on this topic. Our relationship is just getting better and growing. On the sexual side , we continue to to explore new experiences or extending ones we’ve made a regular feature. Our overnights are 19 hours, 5pm to 11 or so the next morning. Relaxed pacing allowing two meals. Try different restaurants to make each date novel in that respect.

As I scrolled down on my phone, I was waiting for the third photos.

Right on there. I didn’t replace my television set during the pandemic when it broke down and have been TV free ever since. Don’t miss it at all.

Churchill said that. But that was another time. Not sure what he would say today.
