Kevin, that's my understanding as well. Private browsing is supposed to do that (not keep any cookies or history, or cache pages).

I read this in a seminar we took on customer service at a previous job - they warned that "no problem" was a turn-off to many people, in that it implied that doing your job might *be* a problem. I never really noticed it until then, but have noticed it a lot since, and wonder why employers don't coach their employees to avoid saying that. A simple "you're welcome" works better, and I often go with "Happy to help".

Good question, and I don't know the answer. In a smaller market you could go back to the city listings and check where he appeared, in a market with lots of masseurs that could be tedious.

Gordon Grant. I saw him in a loop in a peep arcade, first time I ever realized guys could have muscles like they drew in comic books.

I don't think there's any issue with posting anything explicit as long as it's a link. There's some pretty explicit stuff linked to in the Gallery & Fetish Forums. Jon King was probably my first porn crush, but I'd say my favorite porn movie is still "Sailor in the Wild". Great scenes and each one had some sort of setup, it wasn't just meeting up and fucking; I know that's irrelevant to many, but I like it.

I forgot about that trick. Yeah, I could make that work...

I bought a shirt I really liked, 4XL which is usual for me, and when it arrives it's the dreaded "runs small". I can button it, but just barely. I called the place and that's their largest size for that particular shirt :-(

I haven't noticed it lately, but in the past it was common for theaters to NOT allow passes/promotions for first-run or special movies. The listings said "no passes will be accepted for this engagement". I'm not sure if they're still doing it as I haven't looked in the newspaper for movie listings in years; I check online. Anyway, this could be something like that.

As in so many situations, communication can fix this. If you realize you're going to be there early, text when you're 10 minutes away and say "I'm early, is that okay?" Unless you get a "sure, come on over" answer, go find a starbucks for a bit.

and a bit part in "X-Men: First Class", the raspy voice is especially pronounced there.

Sounds like you had an Auntie Mame in your family :-)

There's a graphic novel called "My Friend Dahmer", true story about a guy who grew up with Jeffrey Dahmer. He wasn't close friends with him, but hung out with him from time to time. It's been made into a movie that's showing now.

My uncle, a good friend of my Dad's that he introduced to my Mom's younger sister, and they ended up marrying. He was a charmer, but a drifter; could never hold down a job, would quit a job without another prospect because the first job "wasn't fulfilling him". They lived off my grandmother's charity for years, a fact we didn't know until after my grandmother died, and he left the family a few months after her death, saying "They'd be better without him". I asked his daughter once if she knew where he was, and she said "no idea. Probably dead".

hahahaha - thank you, but those pictures (if they existed) would burn out your eyes like staring into the sun.

Thanks for the flashback! :-) It makes me think of a line in one of Gordon Merrick's books, something like "He'd walked through the locker room like this sometimes, not quite hard but definitely more than soft". I remember seeing a guy walk through the showers and steamroom at my gym, and I did end up taking him home. Funny that some of the guys with the biggest cocks turn out to be bottoms...

Aquaman is Francois Sagat. You've got a good eye, I didn't recognize Johnny. Is Green Lantern in the non-porn Justice League movie?

Anyone else noticing that the majority of these pictures are guys who dress downward? This one's one of the few who have their cocks pointing up. There's a few sideways, as well :-)

Does he have an escort ad up? The links in the old threads all go to 404s, and I briefly looked over the Palm Springs rent.men listings (116 guys? Lucky you) and didn't see him.

I credit the local gay swim team with playing a huge part in my coming out. Great group of people, lots of social activity.

A few years ago, my younger sister and her husband were flying in Christmas Day, I was picking them up at the airport & taking them straight to my older sister's house for presents and Christmas dinner. All sorts of delays on their flight, so the three of arrived several hours late, to a house of children going crazy because they couldn't open presents and adults who'd been eating appetizers all afternoon. After we got through the presents, my older sister said "We've all been nibbling all afternoon and nobody's hungry enough for dinner, I'm just going to save it & serve it tomorrow" - leaving my younger sister, her husband, and I out in the cold. She's been teased about that ever since. The next year, I ostentatiously brought a turkey TV dinner, just in case.

I do go to the bar alone a lot, but it's one I've gone to for years, so I'm very likely to find someone there that I know and can chat with. And the bartenders know me.

I think you may find a lot of us are in that boat. Growing up knowing I was gay, I didn't try to date girls. I did get asked to Sadie Hawkins :-) A lot of us who come out late in life (36 for me) don't know how to date, flirt, whatever.

I think it's acceptable to say that you can't because you have family in town, and then just let that hang & see if she invites them :-)

Indeed. It's like when the dentist chats. At least the masseur doesn't expect you to know what tooth he's talking about when he refers to them by number.
