Well I've set up a date with JJ so we'll see how it goes. 

For me, it makes a difference if the escort is staying overnight.  In those cases, I prefer a king.  Although I sleep better without body contact, there's just something special about knowing that it is possible.  And it makes things easier to helping your guest take care of his morning wood.  ☺️

Some may think it is a pity that the erection was my own.  Now that I am well into my seventh decade, the traditional morning erection is not a tradition like daily, it is more a tradition like Christmas, it comes once a year.  From age 11 to age 55 or so, it was an unusual day that did not start with an erection and an emission.  Since  then, there has been a slow but steady decline in the frequency of erection in the morning and emission to quell the desire.  Even rarer are the mornings when I awaken to find myself already pleasuring myself.  This morning when I awakened to an erection it was as though an old friend had come to visit.  We greeted each other with a warm shake of the hand and then we fell into a rhythm of communication that is easy, familiar, not at all forced and yet surprising and very enjoyable.  I am not sure when I will be visited again but I look forward to it eagerly.
So, those of a certain age, when did those morning erections  stop being a daily occurrence.  Are you left mourning in the morning for the lack of return of your old friend?  
For the younger posters, are you still taking full advantage of self advantage or is the day started without a bang?  
 

I slept on the sofa at a room at the Hacienda one night.......really nice place.......(my forum weekend roommate needed me out of our room for a night and another helpful forum member came to my rescue......just like back in college!)

In a breathtaking departure from my normal practice I have just made flight and hotel reservations months out from the event (flights considerably cheaper, Inndulge not so much).
I'll be flying in and out of LAX and plan to rent a car to go to Palm Springs, and I've booked Inndulge from Thursday to Tuesday. It's a bit early to be excited but I'm looking forward to another great weekend of friend- and, err, fellowship, and to making new friends. Bring it on!

Today on Facebook, Matt Colunga (owner of Johnson's in Wilton Manors and Tampa) teased that a Miami location with full nude will be coming this fall.

I think it depends.  If the first time is bad, don't go back. I had a mediocre experience with a provider whom I find very attractive.  I gave him a second chance and had the same experience. 
I have another provider whom I have seen four times.  The first three were excellent and the last not so great.  I'll give him another chance.

I didn’t take the comment that way at all.  It wasn’t a matter of comp but of respecting an escort’s limits and trying to stretch those.  

That's a bit of a generalization that I doubt everyone here would agree with.  

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.

Working on reservations….
Is David’s Pool party usually on Friday?

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.

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.  

The call to "expose" escorts sharing information is totally irresponsible and honestly pretty hypocritical given the forum that we're on. Please take a moment to consider what you're suggesting.
Mr Number is just one of several safety methods used by workers to protect themselves in the course of offering unique talents, experiences, pleasures and expertise. It's part of a centuries-old (at least) tradition of informal knowledge networks and bad date lists and meant to protect escorts. Things have changed in some places, and naturally, I acknowledge that clients take their share of risks as well when arranging to meet and meeting providers. But in most contexts, sex workers of any stripe take on much greater physical social, legal, personal and financial risks.
As someone above said, many (mannnyyyyyyyy) people messaging escorts never intend to meet or pay.  Every day, people text me out of the blue with expectations of rapid, extensive, unpaid sexting or phone sex, or worse. While most of the clients out there are genuinely good people trying to to do business, there are unfortunately a significant number of "clients" who are not... People who seek or choose to stalk, harass, rape, assault, doxx, scam, harm, and, in extreme cases, even kill sex workers. Not to mention, SW remains illegal in most places and police around the world still expend heinous quantities of cash in their efforts to entrap and charge sex workers.
Perhaps an example would help. I am based in Toronto. I was approached, by online message and text message, by Bruce MacArthur, whom most people will know was a sadistic serial killer preying on gay men in Toronto for at least a decade and who killed at least one sex worker and brutalized another with a metal pipe. If I had not cross checked his info with my peers at the time, I would not have known about the various red flags that had gone up in the community and would likely have met him. Similarly, somebody I once declined to meet after a cross-check later restrained and raped another provider who was not plugged into these info networks.
If someone can't see why tools like this are important, then I suggest they do some deep, deep thinking about their priorities and their capacity for empathy.
Of course, I'm not calling anyone on here a killer or a rapist. I love my clients and by and large I've found I can develop mutual trust with a guy independent of any lists or comment boards.  The information on sites CoM and MN is ultimately that — information. Escorts (and anyone with the app) can take that info and use it to make safer and better informed decisions — it's not as though you're cancelled forever because one person said you never booked, we all recognize that not every client is going to book. Tbh, I don't think I've ever seen a number that has negative comments from just one provider, and if I did, I would never write someone off based on one or two comments. What's most useful is seeing if there's a pattern of behaviour or red flags that we can take into consideration to protect ourselves.
Sorry for the novel, just was feeling aghast that anyone would think this is controversial or worth disparaging
