I have twice bumped into providers in social settings. In one case, I simply said "hi" as I walked by and he responded "hi" back. A few minutes later, he came over to my table and we caught up for a couple of minutes. He hadn't recognized me as I had shaved off my beard that we had when I had seen him three months before. In the other case, I was in the wait area for my barber with my nose in my phone. As the barber was checking out his previous client he called my name and I looked up. Standing next to him was my masseur from the previous evening paying and scheduling his next appointment. The massuer made eye contact with me and said "hi." It appeared he was with a friend, so I simply responded with a "hi" and he left. Fairly innocent that it allowed each of us to acknowledge recognition, but casual like saying "hi" to a stranger as we pass on a walk through the park.

I just watched Kelce, a documentary out today on Amazon Prime. With Jason Kelce at the center, it was an enjoyable view about an offensive lineman's season. The addition of his family as part of the story, especially the Super Bowl match up against his brother's Chiefs was nice. Not much on football strategy or play calling, but a nice peak into the personal life of a football player.

Isn't that Grindr?

Thanks for starting a conversation about this event @V_Marco. I will channel our dear departed friend Epigonos. He was fond of stating that if you have an inkling that you would enjoy going, just make the plans and attend. You never know when it will be the last year you can attend, and there are no guarantees that this private event will continue each year. For those readers who are not familiar with the event, it is an event planned by one of our members who kindly invites members of this Forum to attend. Although attendees usually have this website in common and Company of Men generously permits the event to be publicized here, it is not an event organized or sponsored by this site. So as soon as a date is announced, make your plans.

With your thoughts of the judicial system, I hope you are never the victim or a relative of one that is needs an independent jury to evaluate the evidence. You hadn't previously asked for the evidence of why I believed the victim did not change her mind. Here it is: (1) there were several witnesses that testified that she had declined his advances earlier in the evening, (2) both the victim and accused confirmed that the victim was asleep when the incident started, (3) the accused indicated that while they were long-time friends, she had said no when he had previously asked her out on dates nor had she expressed a desire for a sexual relationship with him, and (4) the accused admitted that he had never asked her to be physical with her, nor had the victim asked him to be physical with her. I agree with you that every juror is responsible the verdict that was reached. I used the full jury to demonstrate that when this jury was unanimous, it removed any doubt from my mind that the jury reached the correct verdicts. Lastly, I didn't mention the verdict on the rape charge. You wrongly assumed that we found the defendant guilty of rape. While the jurors believed that the contact between the victim and accused was non-consensual, we found the accused "not guilty" of the rape charge. Our state law requires penile penetration in the vagina for it to be rape. I didn't believe that there was any evidence of penetration as the rape kit only reflected the boyfriend's (not the accused) although the accused DNA did appear on the victim's bra and panties. Again, I rest comfortable that the verdicts we reached on each count were correct according to the law, despite the law, in my opinion, being flawed in this case.

Have you never served on a jury? I would think that you would know that a jury reaches a unanimous decision to reach a verdict and that I was not a sole decider. As you stated, you do not know the facts of the case, nor do you know the composition of the jury or the length of our deliberations. I have no problems sleeping for the verdict results. As to my use of the words "placing her hands" on him. If you review the video again, you will see that the emotional hugs were between many of the players and those in the receiving line. In this case, the kiss occurred after the hug and she placed her hands at his waist as the kiss occurred. It was the latter action that I was recalling when typing those words. We both have strong opinions, but in this case, I will defend my ability to assess reality objectively and open-mindedly.

@augustus, @BSR, and @BOZO T CLOWN I've watched the video of the kiss. Even if innocent, it was not appropriate. In the workplace, one employee doesn't spontaneously kiss another colleague on the lips to celebrate closing the biggest deal in the company's history. This is no different - and it doesn't matter the gender of the two parties. I had responsibility to sit on a jury in a rape trial where the victim didn't react when the act happened because she couldn't process at the time what was happening. This happened so quickly, that the lack of reaction and even her placing her hands on him should no way be taken as an acceptance of the kiss. And this was in front of a live audience both in the stadium and on television. I'm sure this wasn't a scenario given to the team members that could happen with instructions on the proper protocol to stop it from happening. Should she have slapped his face or kneed him in the groin? The team member that was kissed has stated that she did not enjoy it and was embarrassed by it.

This example is of scripted scenes when the women knew what was going to happen and had male directors giving them the instruction to act this way. Not a fair comparison.

Any time I hear this line in my professional world from a client or vendor, my "spidey-senses" start tingling and I know there will be problems. It simply reinforces that my initial decision to say "no" was correct.

As a client, escorts have flown to visit me (or meet in travel destination) once or twice a year. I feel if I'm requesting them to visit me, I'm willing to cover the airfare. I've found sometimes when meeting in a destination other than my hometown, I don't mind a provider extending their stay beyond our time together. Sometimes, flying in a day earlier, it gives us more time together on the first day, or lessens the rush to the airport on the last day. It can also provide some cost savings on the airfare as it may allow you to avoid a high demand travel date where airfares are higher. That is different than an escort contacting me to see if I've been interested in a session if he was visiting my hometown. In those cases I would expect the provider to cover his travel expenses.

Great idea. That seemed to work.

I am not receiving notifications when some of the members I follow make posts on the site. I checked my follow member list and noticed that members I began following after May 21, 2021 indicate that I will receive notifications; however, the other members I have been following longer indicate "No Notifications." Is there a way to enable notifications for those members?

I continue to see him when I visit Indy, although I've not been able to squeeze in a massage on every visit home. His manscaping services I'd give an A. His massage is an A as well; he often finds some knots I'm unaware of until his hands are on me. The extras he offers are good and also receive an A. These comments are spot on!

It's been in my nightstand to read for at least three years. I need to get to it.

I find the premise of this thread to be misguided. Full-time sex work is real life. It would be akin to saying that actors are not successful in real life.

@sf westcoaster - Cheers to you on this nineteenth day of June! I'm sitting down for my morning coffee thinking of many times we've started the day at Inndulge's poolside breakfast sharing stories and discussing current events (often as current as the prior night's goings on.) That start of the day is always a highlight of my trips to Palm Springs. Just wanted you to know that you are being celebrated in Ohio today. May you have the happiest of birthdays! "Sam"

Having seen @Epigonos's recommendation last fall, I kept planning to meet @COLTONN in Ohio, but just didn't get around to it. Then he appeared at @Oliver's pool party in April. He was well liked by many of the attendees, and I knew that I would enjoy spending one on one time with him. Last week, I was honored to host him in Columbus. He lived up to all of Epigonos's accolades and is truly a top-notch provider.

I have enjoyed my times with Josh. Joshnineplus - Male Escort - Ft. Lauderdale, FL | Rent.Men

Last time used the Cabana's Spa, you could enjoy the resort for the day without an extra fee for the guest pass.

I have sold some of my paperpack books - mostly gay mystery, but some erotica, at Half Priced Books. I was surprised as many of those books received a better offer than similar straight mysteries that I enjoy reading.

I sorta understand the response. If you wanted to talk, why not dial rather than text?

I've stayed at or visited on day passes several different clothing optional resorts in all three locations. I am approaching 60. In Palm Springs, I think you can pretty much be comfortable in any of the locations as long as you are picking the level of slutiness you are looking for. For me, based on stories I've heard from others, All Worlds is probably too much about the hook up and I've not visited there. In Fort Lauderdale, I would recommend Cabanas or Pineapple Point and have stayed at each several times - room availability often dictating where I stay. I've also heard good things about the Grand from friends over 50; however, I have not personally stayed there. In Key West, you should be fine at any location. Good luck in your exploration.

I get BeefyDude's point of view. I can understand why it would be frustrating for the OP to see five responses to an inquiry about someone's massage skills, but all that is mentioned are the physical attributes without any information addressing the question posed.
