People who are pos undetectable have to undergo regular testing to ensure they remain as such. They receive a test result which is dated and can be shown to sexual partners It is incumbent on partners to ask if in any doubt. I would think that most if not all rational people who are infected but on meds that keep them undetectable have a very strong incentive not to forget to take their pills. After all their own life depends on it.

I would guess that rents are the biggest factor now as everywhere, not just in the large cities, they are skyrocketing since the pandemic started to ease. Here in my small town new 2 bedroom apartments are going from $2500 to $3500, compared to $1200 to $1500 just a couple of years ago. Toronto and Vancouver are even higher and Montreal not far behind. When I raise this with escorts its only the ones who have been in the biz for a longer period who own their own homes. The younger ones are renters and often have roommates. One I hired before Christmas told me at dinner that he had bought his two bedroom condo in the trendy Plateau district almost a decade ago for under $200,000 and now it was worth $500,000. And he rented the second bedroom until recently to another escort who I had been with 4 years ago several times. He kicked him out for just cause. In other respects both had similar careers in the biz and were similarly high profile, doing porn with major US and Canadian studios and charging similar rates. One invested wisely and the other not.

Nice report. Just one clarification. On RM outside the US we get to read all the comments posted on reviews automatically. In the US you can use a mechanism to gain access to these comments as well. Just don't ask me how it works. Lol

On my first trip to London in 1969 as a young man, I stupidly bought a pair of nice leather sporty shoes at Harrods. I tried them on in the display room on a nice plush carpet where they felt good. At home the first time I wore them my feet hurt after about an hour walking in them. I still have them to remind me what a fool I was. I never wore them again and even today hate buying shoes.

When I was working in Europe 4 decades ago, my employer gave me an annual clothing allowance which I could spent every year. I used it to buy expensive items in Paris (Daniel Heckter), Milan and Florence ( Armani, Fiorucci) as examples. Those would be items I liked for casual wear like leather jackets and belts. For the office I bought mid range suits and shirts as I didn't want the boss to think I was being extravagent. My claims always went through without question.

Years ago I used to tip 15 percent for decent service at restaurants and hotel chabermaids and 10 percent for mediocre. Then I got to know people in thw hotel and restaurant trades and they of course encouraged me to up my tips. I did once I understood their reasons. Now the range of tipping has gone up so that I regularly encounter 18, 20, 25 other. I tip 20 for good service and 18 if something was off. If the service were truly dreadful I would go to other and enter a lower amount. Last week I was at a nice restaurant with an escort and the bill came to $218 with tax. The waitress was friendly but she made a mistake by not asking me how I wanted my rack of lamb cooked. So I gave her 18 percent.

You are spot on. Every race has its people who are racist against another group.

I don't think even the Pelosi's had 7 perimeter cameras. Are you a mafiosi? Lol

Like you I don't spend huge amounts on individual items of clothing. Once I bought a leather and fur reversible winter jacket for $200 dollars at an estate sale that was in like new condition. The leather was supple and top grade but it was the fur that turned out to be Russian blue point sable. $25 to 35 Thousand brand new. I still wear it and it has held up beautifully.

The same sort of appropriation of native culture went on here in Canada since the 19th century (we no longer refer to the term Indian in Canada without causing a brou haha). We are still in the process of excising names on sport teams and other cultural institutions that depict images or names of natives or Indigenous people as they are now called or First Nations. We are also extirpating the names of colonizers( usually British but some French as well) who exploited the natives in some horrible way such as sending them to residential schools or allegedly giving them blankets contaminated with smallpox. Our first prime minister, Sir John. A Macdonald, who was once revered, is now widely reviled and he didn't even own slaves. The woke wave is in full tide in Canada.

I've been with some guys who are north of 8" and most were pretty good at keeping it up and hard. But then again I am an alluring bottom, especially if I keep the lights low. Lol.

Fifteen years earlier LB had the same vibe described in the mid 90s. Two summers I made an extended stay in August in the town lasting from 2 to 3 weeks. They had a lovely old yellow painted stucco hotel I think just north of the Little Shrimp which backed on the water. Nothing really fancy but comfortable. And in the centre of all the action. You could hear the ocean surf at night when you opened your window. I met some incredible guys and visited their homes like in San Juan Capistrano.

Oh yes, I have fond memories of Laguna Beach in the early 1980's. The Boom Boom Room and the Little Shrimp. And the great cruising on the beach after dark.

Places have their time in the gay sunshine and then fade. Look at Key West. SF has changed a lot since I used to go there 40 years ago for some gay fun. South Beach the same story from 30 years ago.

I've only started using Uber in the last 6 months and only sent one to pick up an escort a couple of weeks ago. There was a mix-up on his end as he had another client also trying to book him at the same time who also sent him a Uber. He got on that one so I cancelled and only had to pay $6 plus tax. I could see on my phone that the driver was approaching his hotel when I made the cancellation. I'm not sure that the passenger can change the destination when someone else has paid for the ride. The ride is already on your credit card when the itinerary is set by you. A different destination would involve a different charge which you hadn't authorized. In my case it all ended happily for me as when the escort realized he was at the wrong destination he came to my hotel on his own and was just a little late. He was great fun so glad he showed up.

You refer to him as they but the ad doesn't indicate a couple.

I'm assuming he sent you pics showing both soft and hard status. If they were all erection pics maybe he was telling the truth.

The fresh cod is all I have ever eaten but I have seen programs on how the Spanish (and Portugese) dried and salted their catch of cod before the days of refrigeration. This was done on the banks of Newfoundland during the fishing season and they returned to home with the preserved fish in the holds of the ships. Their cooks then reconstituted the fish by hydrating it and then cooking it. I understand it didn't have much of a salty taste as other sauces were used to cook it.

Did you eat any salted cod? The Spanish have been fishing cod off the coast of Newfoundland since before Columbus. The cod moratorium has severely restricted that activity in recent decades though as the cod disappeared.

You hit "gold" at the Mint 😀

You see that in a lot of films.

I had sex with him once when I was living in Miami. He also did live sex shows in Coconut Grove.

When I was with Trev a couple of times very early in his career, I found him to be 110 percent engaged with me ( and another escort who was part of the action part of the time). Also when we went out to dine he dressed up suitable to the luxury restaurant we ate at in Montreal. In the bedroom he was an uninhibited sexual partner sharing his manly attributes with me and the other provider. We had a blast and each of us was left fully satiated. I can't imagine he has changed. We stay in touch the odd time.

Is that restaurent where you ate in the old Chinatown portrayed in the film of the same name, directed by Roman Polanski? Or does that Chinatown still exist? The film was set in the 1930's.

On Sleepy Boy they often have very specific intos checked off. Wrt cum things like cum on you, cum on me, cum in mouth, you, me etc. I only look at the site the odd time so forget the exact terminology. I'm surprised a porn actor would object to cum on his chest. What a wet blanket!
