Greetings all. Now that I have returned home and reflected on some of my personal highlights of the weekend during the flight home, I thought I would share some here: 1). There are many, many wonderful attendees, some I have now known over 10 years, some that started attending after we missed 2020 due to COVID lockdown, and a few newcomers. The diversity of the attendees I think is what I really enjoy the most be it professional backgrounds, ages raging from 20s to 90s, geographic, and racial. 2) Some of the best conversations (for me anyway) occur around the breakfast table each morning at INNdulge - hearing what (or who) the guys did the prior evening, recommendations for dinner while in town, what’s coming to Broadway, and updates on past attendees that were not able to attend in 2026. 3) Dinner at Trio is always nice. The relationship @Oliver has built over the years with the current owner makes this a great evening. And everyone that shared thoughts about this year’s meal were outstanding! I will place a little plug in for Trio for anyone looking for a place to dine. For those of you interested in the stats of the weekend: 25 individuals attended dinner at Trio Saturday and 33 attended the pool event on Sunday.

Due to the privacy and respect of all attendees, photos are not permitted at the pool event on Sunday. several years ago, an attendee did take some photos with the consent of the individual the was the target of the photo; however, individuals in the background had not agreed to be in photos. Since then, we have adopted the practice of not having any at the pool event.

There are a handful of guys I know that have had appointments with the same providers I have. In fact, there is a masseur in Columbus that I recommend to all of my friends and a few have scheduled appointments based off my recommendation.

Flew down to PVR for a few days in the sun. The flight down was half empty, a reflection of tourist safety concerns. Those concerns were unfounded. As a plus, I had no issues getting into places for dinner or cocktails. I took is some shows at Coco Cabaret and Act2. I enjoyed AirOrtic (Coco) and Puppetry of the Penis (Act2) and would recommend both. I also saw a one night show of Are You Smarter than a Drag Queen. I think it is going to be in P-town this summer. Go see it!

Just returned from four nights in PVR - completely easy to get around as tourist traffic still hasn’t picked up. Good news is visits to 69 and Wet Dreams made meeting the dancers easy. However, there were fewer customers, so I could barely take a sip of my cocktail before another dancer was asking for a shower tip or private dance. Both were fun!

He currently advertises as a top, and in his recent Q&A the discussions are focused on him being a top. Yes, at the time I first found his ad 15 years ago (or so) he did advertise as versatile.

I think the answer is always variable. Individuals by nature are all different - on this massage board we have individuals that are extroverted and others are introverted. When meeting with a client/provider, the best advice is two things - be yourself and do not create a false persona that you will need to support in future meetings. If you are naturally quiet, don't force yourself into talking and sharing information. If you are naturally a sharing person, be yourself, (but trust your "spidey-senses" and limit your sharing if something doesn't seem to be on the up and up.) If you are asked something you are not comfortable answering, just say so.

I find it weird that Monday's post mentions videos, but when I go to the ad, there are none. Something doesn't line up.

This is how the host city greets its guests? (Admittedly, I find it pretty funny.)

I attended last Friday's semi-final game in Atlanta with my alma mater decisively handling the Oregon Ducks to advance to the national championship game in Miami on the 19th. The crowd was definitely partisan towards the Hoosiers and the atmosphere was electric, especially on the first two plays. The solid tackle by Indiana on the kick off returner was cheered by the crowd, to be followed by Indiana's Pick 6 to have a 7-0 lead in the first 10 seconds of the game! From there everything kept going. Looking forward to Miami-Indiana game next week! P.S. Whenever there was a Chick-Fil-A ad with the "eat more chicken" slogan (Chick-Fil-A was the corporate sponsor of the game) you could hear fans yelling, "eat more duck."

InnDulge is always a good choice. I have also visited Santiago and Descano and would recommend them as well.

I plan to be in Palm Springs in April. I plan to have a reservation that includes the second weekend of the month as that was the weekend of Oliver's pool event last year.

When I'm in NYC, I have gotten manscaping services at Hush Manhattan. They also offer massage services, but they are separate menu items. I've had some occasions that the massage was provided by a different guy than the manscaping/sugaring services. It's been a little while since I have traveled to the city, so I have not been to their currently location. husHmanhattan - Spa for Men | specialize in sugaring | 333 West 52nd Street suite 802, New York, NY 10019, USA

I saw Oscar earlier this year in Columbus. Massage was on a bed, and it was decent and at times good. But for the most part, I felt like he was going through a checklist of what his massage routine was. HE was included. As I drove away, I thought, "I might book another session on one of his future visits to town" rather than "I can't wait for him to visit again" but not "I won't ever book him again."

I have a regular masseur that will turn his ad off one weekend every month when he is spending time with his family. He tells me that he doesn't get requests for appointments (except from a regular like me who doesn't look at his ad anymore) so he's not getting complaints about not responding the same day. It seems to work for him.
