There was an experiment with rats many years ago - the research team put a male rat in a box with a female rat - the male rat would "go at it" for a few days and then his rate of sex would decrease until he gradually stopped "doing the deed" altogether. Then they would take out the first female and introduce an entirely new female rat and the male rat would again start having frequent sex with the new female (until he tired of her). Moral of the story: we horny male rats often get desensitized and require new and exciting stimuli for arousal. I am guessing that your clients experience this same desensitization with "Only Fans" sites and, after a few weeks, move on to another provider. Don't take it personally - just try to provide some reason for them to stick with you - like maybe new and exciting partners, new sex scenarios, innovative role plays? Maybe you already do that?

Amazon pays its full-time fulfillment center employees at least $15 an hour. The company also offers employees benefits, a 401K, and other amenities that make it, on paper, not a bad place to work. But pay and benefits are not the primary reason most workers are striking. The problem is “the rate" i.e. how fast and proficient a worker must be, even to the extent that they are penalized for taking a bathroom break. For example, Amazon fired roughly 300 employees over the course of a year at a Baltimore fulfillment center for failing to meet productivity quotas, representing more than 10 percent of the workforce. Workers complain that they are treated more like robots than humans. Speaking of robots, automation will likely replace these workers in the near future, unless the robots unionize.

Bostonman - I was not referring to you but to Boy4 who seems amazed that an employer would block these types of sites. I was supervisor at a large health company and, even though it was not easy due to privacy rules (I had to justify my concerns with headquarters), I was able to obtain a printout of every site that a particular employee had visited during a designated period (an employee had accused this employee of spending a lot of time surfing porn sites). As Mr.E states, a company can legally monitor all of your activities on their network.

Why in the world would you expect your employer to permit access to dating sites?

I was in Indy Tuesday night and hooked up with a straight, white muscle boy on Grindr whose Profile indicated that he was seeking "Gen Guys" - and who provided a most copacetic encounter of mutual pleasuring. (I have learned not to discuss details of transactions on Grindr and to immediately request contacts to text me on my Burner app.) I was on my way back from Chicago where I was supposed to meet a guy from Friendlyboy who turned out to be a total flake and con-man -- he was "on his way" to our meeting when he texted that his expected "donation" was now doubled -- I demurred and, as expected, he did not show. Friendlboy is quickly becoming my least favorite hookup site.

I've had the Burner app for a couple of years but have never used the number for any type of verification. I only use the Burner number for texting and for receiving phone calls from escorts - and I've had no problems. You could send a text/email question to the Burner Support Team - they've always gotten back to me within 24 hours. I bet they would have an answer or a work-around fto solve he problem. I just did a Google search for my current Burner number and it revealed that the number is an "assigned number" from "Bandwidth.com" which, according to Wikipedia, provides "virtual phone numbers" for Google Voice and, apparently, for the Burner app. I'm guessing that these online sites (like Craigslist) are able to recognize that these are "virtual phone numbers" and rejects them for verification purposes.

In this case, I could understand the escort asking to be paid upfront.

From the photos on your RM page @BodeBrentwood , I'm thinking whoever was at Vishara Video that day got a mouthful. Is Vishara across from the bus terminal (I haven't been to NYC in years so my geography is a bit rusty)?

I just so happened to catch the BB show the other night (the one where the contest was to catch things like strawberries, meatballs while sliding down a table) and I have to say, it was pretty vapid. If it weren't for the eye candy, esp the southern boy (who kept quoting his mama) and the long-haired hunk, I would never watch. The plot line was confusing (I guess you have to watch from the first episode) and it all seemed like one big back-stab.

I also sent a comment to the admin of MB - and they immediately addressed the problematic profile.

Another red flag that I've noticed lately is when the photos of the escort display a muscular body (sometimes even a bodybuilder's body) and yet the profile description of "Body Type" is "Slim" or "Average." Also, if there is any lack of consistency in the photos (e.g. four of the photos show a young, athletic body but one photo shows an average-looking or older body), the least flattering photo is always the most accurate photo. Finally, a current "Pro" ad on A4A from "AlexANDBrice" (super hot photos) in Indy/Chicago: !TWO GUY'S HERE!We can host at our hotel or travel to you we give the best four hand body rubbs and plus so much more DEBT ONLY (VENMOO OR CASSHAPP) (MUST GIVE DONATION IN ADVANCE) BEFORE GIVING OUR LOCATION --- Just out of curiosity, I sent them a message asking if I couldn't just pay them cash when I met them and they replied: "Can't you read? Send the money first via Venmo!" Seriously???

MrEroticGuy, upon entering the client's abode, whips out his sizeable schlong and tells you to "touch it." I guess you'd have to be a pretty good actor to obey his command (without a hint of hesitation) if you were straight. Or else he thinks that police are not permitted to engage in any sexual interaction in connection with a sting.

It's my understanding that, statistically, there has been no increase in the number of American deaths in DR, despite news reports about people dying from alcohol consumption, shootings, etc. But...... The US State Department classifies the Dominican Republic as a Level 2 in its travel advisories, suggesting that American tourists "exercise increased caution" when visiting the country. State Department advisories are ranked between Levels 1 and 4, with Level 1 suggesting normal precautions and Level 4 advising that tourists should avoid traveling to a location altogether. Specifically, the State Department advises that violent crime "including armed robbery, homicide and sexual assault is a concern" in the Dominican Republic. But a concentration of resources like police specifically for tourists in resort areas make them more safe than urban areas like Santo Domingo, where Ortiz was shot. I have never been to the DR but would have no hesitation to go there esp as I suspect that tourist prices may fall as a result of the scare. I believe that the DR is a poor country that needs tourist dollars.

It doesn't cost anything to be nice to people.

Wow, Leon, from the sound of your name I thought maybe you were some aging radical reject from the 1960s, not such a young, sexy guy. Thanks for sharing your online profile and your hot pics!

I've only worked with a CPA who is a great tax preparer and tax specialist - knows all the ins-and-outs of taxes. I would think that a tax lawyer would only be needed if you have some legal troubles with the tax man - e.g. owing back taxes, garnishments, etc. My CPA is not only good at filing taxes, he also is a good financial advisor for questions regarding RMD's (required Required Minimal Distributions), long-term tax planning, etc. I would think that a tax lawyer is going to cost you more as they usually are reimbursed through "billable hours" which can add up quickly.

Thanks for the info - it will come in handy as I sometimes pass through Charlotte. It happens to all of us at some point. I wish we all had the presence of mind to just leave when we discover a catfish, regardless of whether the dude is good looking or not. But, if you're like me, you're so horny and have built up such expectations of a sexy adventure that you end up staying - when we should just walk out.

I also love House Hunters and have long been aware that the home-buyers have already purchased their homes and that the two alternative homes are most likely not even up for sale (I read somewhere that sometimes the buyers will visit the homes of friends and make snide comments about their horrible "tastes" as inside jokes). But, it's a bit of humorous cinéma vérité that combines stylized set-ups with down-home improvisation to unveil truths about the how petty, yet also compromising, humans can be (I mean, getting into a marital squabble over shower fixtures?). The fun comes in trying to guess which home will be chosen by listening for subtle clues in the dialogue and in the setup (Mavis wants a colonial but John is dead set on a Ranch - is one willing to compromise style for location?). A real positive for the gay community is the show's presentation of gay couples as just regular folks with the same tastes, peculiarities, and desires, as every other couple.

I had a college roommate who was so horny I used to call him "Homo Sapiens, Semper Erectus."

So it would be sort of a "Hope Chest?"

I have a feeling that publishing client information online may backfire on you - that no one will avail themselves of your services out of fear that you would disclose personal information about them.

Look who's a good boy

I was banned 2x but I don't think I was reported - at least not by someone that I contacted since I NEVER initiated any discussion of a transaction - I always started by complimenting that person on their pic, and let THEM take the initiative. I'm pretty sure that I was banned for using the word "gen" and "giving person" in either my Profile or my screen name. I went unnoticed for about three months and then one day BAM! banned. After that first banning, I think they monitored my convos which got me banned again for discussing a transaction with another local user who was about ready to give me his home address when BAM! banned again. So, my theory is that they do some monitoring but it is very cursory and random.... and yes, some people do get away with “4Hire??” -- but not forever. I have been on my good behavior for the last month (e.g. avoiding the "gen" word and asking interested parties to save any convos for text messages to my Burner phone); as I noted previously, all the benefits of a paid subscription have been restored to my account, even though I did not ask Grindr for them. I think they want your business ($67 for a year is a pretty hefty fee, IMHO), but they also want to avoid any entanglement with the law.
