Great topic! I agree that Swiss Navy travels well. Walgreens and CVS both carry a lot of different lubes these days if you’re gonna buy on arrival. (Find them next to the condoms.) Their “store brand” may not be “sexy” but it’s not expensive and gets the job done. If your City has a “gay store” (think Off-Chute in Phoenix or Skivvies in Dallas) they often sell “trial size” lubes which are small and travel well in zip-top bags. Swiss Navy’s little tubes easily slip into your pocket (you never know who you might encounter on the patio at The Anvil in Phoenix) and Sex Grease is sold in a little sachet. Makes it easy to always have a variety on hand.

I just finished David Pevsner’s memoirs, “Damn Shame”. Mr. Pevsner is an actor/writer/entertainer who has appeared on stage and television (and cruise ships!) with varying degrees of success. He also admits to working as a provider for a time. He became more well-known once he began posing nude at a more mature age in photos that he then posted to his Tumblr account. (Tom Bianchi photographed him on several occasions.) His stories are very interesting; stories of stage and screen are always amusing and in this regard he does not disappoint. (He appeared in one of my favorite films, “Role/Play”.) But there is a certain narcissism, especially in later chapters, that I found a bit off-putting. I’m certain Mr. Pevsner won’t care what I think of him or his book; after all I did buy it (Kindle version) and read it. It was by no means a waste of time to read, but I’m not sure exactly sure if I liked it.

Please. My mother continued to smoke and drink when she was pregnant with me. Which explains a lot. Tylenol would have been mild in comparison.

OMG … the snow on his chest …

Here’s an interesting aside - I opened my Marriott app today only to be greeted with a special of 50% off Marriott’s MGM Collection hotels in Las Vegas. Book by Sept 26 (2025) for stays through Aug 31 (2026). These include Aria, Bellagio, Cosmopolitan, and Vdara. None of those are my usual Vegas haunts, but that is significant discounting. I think the consumers have had it with the price-gouging and being nickled-and-dimed. Service levels, too, have dropped off. A lot of service personnel, while still friendly, seem unhappy behind their smiles.

Damn! That's some serious bush!

PREACH! Learned that one the hard way. More than once. Just a slow learner, I guess.

Wow. 89. Pretty damn amazing. So glad he was able to take the novel "Ordinary People" and turn it into a great movie. As an actor, he may have never been better than in "The Sting". And what physical beauty! RIP, Robert Redford.

Like @purplekow if they are flipping the bird in photos I move on. Also, if the posting suggests that the provider wishes to be “worshipped”, I know that I will be expected to do all the work and I go to the next. (Nothing wrong if you wish to worship or be worshipped; just not my thing.) More than words if I see neck or face tattoos and/or gauged ears that’s another “pass”. You know what I would like to see? A smile. Smiles are so sexy! Plus underwear and/or swimsuits; sometimes (for me) it’s more erotic what you can’t see versus what you can. That’s enough for now.

I used to drive my parents crazy telling them to “Kiss mah grits!” My mother told me that I didn’t know what that meant and to stop it. My father used to ask my mother, “Where did he pick THAT up?” I loved Flo! (Alice was too serious; Flo was more fun.) Polly was nominated for a Tony playing “Big Mama” in “Cat On A Hot Tin Roof” and while I didn’t get to see her in it I can totally envision her in the role. RIP, hon.

I’m no doctor but this concerns me a little. If you’re not yet 40 that seems too young to be getting up 2-3 times a night to pee. Prior to 40 - hell, prior to 50 - I was still sleeping through the night without nocturnal bathroom visits. Sure, 8 hours dry became 7, which later became 6. Now at 61, 2 times to pee is normal, 3 if I had iced tea at dinner. “Edge and Vitality?” Pshaw. Fund your retirement, keep (or get) your credit card debt under control, get 6 months of expenses in reserve, make sure you have at least 1 good suit in your closet (don’t forget a white dress shirt, conservative tie and lace-up dress shoes) and f*ck (or at least cum) whenever you get the chance. But talk to your primary care physician about all those nighttime bathroom visits. At your age that doesn’t add up.

Looking good, Lieutenant! A Sailor in dress whites can still get me hard.

Took me a minute but now I get it. Although I believe Rose was nude. Except for the heart of the ocean. Still ...

I have to agree with you on that. 😀

I am fascinated by the exchange and conversations contained within this thread about this particular man. And I’m asking myself why I’m so intrigued. Perhaps I need a hobby …
