OMG! Are there FOUR of them? Or am I just loaded?

Giving a gift should not be awkward if the intention is to experience the joy of giving. I love giving gifts; I don’t know why - it just makes me happy. I have gifted my providers with jockstraps, AC and/or other designer underwear, gift cards (my California providers seem to love gift cards for In & Out), gas cards - all kinds of things. I try to listen to what they have to say and get ideas from our conversations. The guys have always been gracious in accepting and quick with their thanks. In that regard I suppose I’m lucky.

I don’t find that unusual. I think it’s the provider’s way of keeping you engaged.

I will say as a client that it’s nice to see in the profile that a provider has 9-5 job (or something to that effect) and maybe a note or two as to when the provider is available. It sets reasonable expectations and (hopefully) prevents me from asking stupid questions.

While the head and face may be expertly barbered the bush remains thick and wild and that is HOT!!!

🎼 … gotta be going to that malt shop in the sky … 🎼

OMG! Those 70’s clones. When I turned 18 clones were still fashionable but I only got a small taste of the experience. I have photos somewhere of me with a mustache, trying my best to look like these guys. Forty some-odd years ago. {~sigh~}

To answer your question … no, you’re not weird.

https://rent.men/GingerViking I am happy to recommend Stijn (pronounced “Stein”), who is SFO based but who I saw in PV last fall. Dude is amazing! Sadly, though, his travel dates would suggest that he will not be in SFO when you are there. Still, I wanted to get his name out there. If you like men beefy and rugged and also romantic and uninhibited Stijn would be, I feel, an excellent choice.

I don’t know which I’d prefer more - sweet dude with a hairy ass or flannel sheets.

Now THAT is just precious!

As I am not a resident of Southern Cal I don’t have any restaurant suggestions beyond In & Out by LGB airport, for no other reason except for the hunky UPS men I see eating lunch there. Some of those shorts can barely contain the package(s), whether front or back. It gives “I’ll have a double/double” a whole new meaning. As for me, I like mine with “extra spread”. Happy Birthday, man. 🎂

I think I see a way that you can be made a member of the team, kid.

“Lived To Tell” by D. David Churchill who goes by “Dave Churchill”. A memoir by a gay man who “came of age” in Southern California in the late 70’s/early 80’s before the plague. Fascinating and entertaining. The main focus and meatiest part of the book concerns a 2-month road trip Dave took with 5 other gay men from Laguna Beach, CA all the way to Cocoa Beach, FL - and back. Six gay men - boys, really - in a 1969 Camaro convertible, each with about $250 in cash + OP shorts, Polo shirts and not one pair of underwear between them. They were young, beautiful and delightfully clueless. Upon returning to California they didn’t see each other again, and by the end of the 80’s five of the six would be gone. And Dave Churchill says as much as the book opens. There are some famous names sprinkled throughout, and as a gay man myself who came of age around the same time there is a certain romance in looking back at those days. No worries and no cares and having sex with no fear they used their youth and beauty as their currency, trading good looks and firm bodies for drinks, dinner, drugs, and, oftentimes, a roof over their heads. You’ll relish their freedom and regret what it cost them. The book appears self-published and as such it’s a bit rough, but I thought it was great. I’m currently on my 4th re-read.
