@tristanbaldwinso glad to hear from you.  And you still look amazing!!!  Would love to come visit some day!

He sent me that pic too, MAN I loved seeing him tanned and swole and relaxed — almost as good as being in Playa del Carmen myself! 

Gentlemen, 
@tristanbaldwin posted an excellent message to get his thread back on topic. Please, respect his wishes and stop the hijacking. Thanks! 

That's what I was thinking, but you said it better.  The photos are also a bonus.
 

What a sweet, well-thought-out, intelligent post.

Fuck, could the guy get any more handsome? 
Now, I gotta figure out how to get to fucking Hartford
before he ends up on the "One’s that Got Away" list. 

@tristanbaldwin
you Sir are a class act through and through 
We've never met each other because I am South Jersey based but I've been following you since your days of BGEast "Aryx"💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽and always fantasized about seeing you in person 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽👿👿❤
LittleAlex from South Jersey 

I am so glad to know you’re doing well and keeping busy. I really need to fulfill my fantasy of meeting you. Let me know whenever you are down here in LA for anything. I will make time. Not sure how and whether I’d be able to go near where you live but will check with you if I have the opportunity to travel there. 

Love to see action photos of the legendary Tristan Baldwin laying pipe! 
 

He sent me this this am, he's on vacay, told him it literally HURTS my eyes to look at him he's so fuckn perfect😀
 

Tonyko...I've always enjoyed your posts. You sound sexy.
And I agree Tristan looks amazing. He is simply sex on a stick. A stick I want to lick up and down!!!

(Apologies in advance for the long winded one…it’s the end of the night and who knows when I’ll get on here next…)
Well…..a perfect time for me to actually inject myself into this conversation! Like a bad family dinner that just changes moods INSTANTLY when you start talking about the black sheep in the family…! The COVID conversation is never going to be a fun one, on ANY side of the fence. 
A wiser escort once told me…never vent your true feelings about politics or any of their derivatives on this forum…because you’ll immediately ostracize half(or more) of the people who regularly post. In addition, he said the best posture was to assume that everyone here is better educated, and has more diverse life experiences then you. 
Well, he was absolutely correct on the latter- I find that the average person I’ve connected with from here is a standout, on virtually any rubric you use. On the former…he broke his own rule of wisdom and promptly got himself banned for clashing with the previous forum owner. 
So anyhow….now that we’ve got that little ‘aside’ about politics and it’s ugly stepchild Coronavirus out of the way(I’ll comment once on it by saying it forcibly changed my life…but probably for the better, in the long run), I’d like to just give a tremendous ‘Thank You’ to all of those who commented for me ‘in absentia’, by keeping my little memories alive and well. 
Physically- I feel I’m in great shape; having a more grounded life and the ability to control your meals makes for a huge difference. Negatively offsetting a lot of these physical ‘gains’, is clearly the fact that I’ve drank to a far larger amount during COVID, then prior. Coping mechanism. However, I’d like to think I have it under control; as I have to function 5-6 days a week as a well driller / installer; and then a night or two dancing. Factor in 1-3 clients if I’m able to accommodate….and it’s a life. Not a great life; but tons of potential for a future in the company(owned by one of my best friends, a fucking stud himself IMO). He’s nearly doubled his numbers since  I came onboard, while also lowering his advertising budget- because the repeat work from his past 7 years is snowballing with momentum. Each year will get progressively better, as long as we stay sharp. 
For those of you around the country who’ve wanted to see me…trust me…I want to see you too. I wish I could be traveling around like I used to; but those days are most likely behind me. I may detach out a two 3 or 4 day jaunts a month to the larger areas, like San Fran, LA, Chicago, Florida, Chicago, or DC. Or, if those of you out there are able to get to NYC or Boston, I can come down with little to no problem, if you can host. Alternatively, if you are able to take the train to Hartford or have a car, you’re welcome at my house….if you can contend with two 12 lb. balls of fluff. Brave that gauntlet, and I’ll gladly entertain you with tons of free time, and a meal…nobody leaves this house without eating…
Will try to find the time to get on here more….the web domain had seemed to shift, and I didn’t follow it as aggressively as I should have. 
Am back now- will certainly try to stay current! Much love to all of you for keeping this hobby as alive as possible. ❤️

I told people years ago that this guy was ‘bad money’ After three guys I know who can’t write reviews, had a miserable time with him, What happened subsequent to that? His volume INCREASES LOLLLLLLLL. Everyone thinks their session with the guy will somehow be different....?

Hair is unfortunately shaved / skinned off after dancing gigs this weekend....but feeling like a SAVAGE as of late!

Physically- I feel I’m in great shape; having a more grounded life and the ability to control your meals makes for a huge difference. Negatively offsetting a lot of these physical ‘gains’, is clearly the fact that I’ve drank to a far larger amount during COVID, then prior. Coping mechanism. However, I’d like to think I have it under control; as I have to function 5-6 days a week as a well driller / installer; and then a night or two dancing. Factor in 1-3 clients if I’m able to accommodate….and it’s a life. Not a great life; but tons of potential for a future in the company(owned by one of my best friends, a fucking stud himself IMO). He’s nearly doubled his numbers since  I came onboard, while also lowering his advertising budget- because the repeat work from his past 7 years is snowballing with momentum. Each year will get progressively better, as long as we stay sharp. 
For those of you around the country who’ve wanted to see me…trust me…I want to see you too. I wish I could be traveling around like I used to; but those days are most likely behind me. I may detach out a two 3 or 4 day jaunts a month to the larger areas, like San Fran, LA, Chicago, Florida, Chicago, or DC. Or, if those of you out there are able to get to NYC or Boston, I can come down with little to no problem, if you can host. Alternatively, if you are able to take the train to Hartford or have a car, you’re welcome at my house….if you can contend with two 12 lb. balls of fluff. Brave that gauntlet, and I’ll gladly entertain you with tons of free time, and a meal…nobody leaves this house without eating…
Will try to find the time to get on here more….the web domain had seemed to shift, and I didn’t follow it as aggressively as I should have. 
Am back now- will certainly try to stay current! Much love to all of you for keeping this hobby as alive as possible. ❤️

(Apologies in advance for the long winded one…it’s the end of the night and who knows when I’ll get on here next…)
Well…..a perfect time for me to actually inject myself into this conversation! Like a bad family dinner that just changes moods INSTANTLY when you start talking about the black sheep in the family…! The COVID conversation is never going to be a fun one, on ANY side of the fence. 
A wiser escort once told me…never vent your true feelings about politics or any of their derivatives on this forum…because you’ll immediately ostracize half(or more) of the people who regularly post. In addition, he said the best posture was to assume that everyone here is better educated, and has more diverse life experiences then you. 
Well, he was absolutely correct on the latter- I find that the average person I’ve connected with from here is a standout, on virtually any rubric you use. On the former…he broke his own rule of wisdom and promptly got himself banned for clashing with the previous forum owner. 
So anyhow….now that we’ve got that little ‘aside’ about politics and it’s ugly stepchild Coronavirus out of the way(I’ll comment once on it by saying it forcibly changed my life…but probably for the better, in the long run), I’d like to just give a tremendous ‘Thank You’ to all of those who commented for me ‘in absentia’, by keeping my little memories alive and well.
