The usual. Mostly rent.men, but some on rentmasseur.com and masseurfinder.com

I'm amazed (and frustrated) at the number of new ads that are showing up in Detroit.

You, sir, are much more persistent than I am. :-)

I didn't see anywhere on there about when the 52nd edition actually came out. The books used to be named with the year, if I remember correctly.

Star Trek reference! In Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, Valeris (Kim Cattrall!) has a speech about workers threatened by automation throwing their wooden shoes, called "sabot", into the machines to jam them. Hence the word "sabotage".

It was a book, actual paper. "The Little Black Book of gay travel". A directory of all places of interest to gays organized by location. Bars (rated by what type, drag queen/leather/hustler), shops/restaurants, community centers. Maybe bathhouses, maybe local gay sports organizations? They'd print updated versions every year, I think. I had printed copies in the late 90's/early 2000's. It's an online subscription service now, I don't know if they still actually print it. https://damron.com/ I last used it maybe 10 years ago, a friend who danced at the Gold Coast was on a road trip and looking for places where he could stop in & dance for a night.

The william higgins massage videos always seem mechanical. But like pizza, even a not-great massage is pretty good.

Wow. Never heard of the guy getting the massage, Spencer Laval. New favorite :-)

Try this - it's a Blake Harper massage I have bookmarked, not sure if it's the one everyone is referring to. https://www.redtube.com/533012

it's crazy. My work just announced everyone is to work from home all next week, my Dad's retirement home just put a "no-visitors" policy in, and I'm getting all sorts of notices from every business I interact with about the precautions they're taking. Even the pizza joints are recommending online ordering and have the delivery guy just drop the pizza at your door and run. And there is a sudden rush of hot new visiting escorts to Detroit. Argh!

Are you sure? he mentions 4-hand massage, 300 isn't out of the ordinary for that, and otherwise says "Open to fulfilling your fantasy. Kinky (but not into physical abuse.) submissive"

Nice, a man who knows his various incarnations of HHGTTG. From Wikipedia I first heard it on NPR, I'd tuned in to listen to the radio serialization of "Star Wars", which was playing Thursday nights, and they broadcast Hitchhiker's following that. I missed the first episode, caught part of the second, and was hooked at that point. Judging by when those were broadcast, I'm guessing this was March 1981.

I saw my regular physician today, we did an elbow bump rather than shake hands.

"See your physician before getting a massage". "Hi, doc, is it okay if I get a handjob today?" :-P (that's a joke, for all of you who DO get legitimate therapeutic massages)

This might be it? I had no idea it was John Travolta. Working off nearly 50-year-old memories of when I saw this, I think it was before Welcome Back Kotter was on (1975) which would've been the first thing I'd remember seeing him in.

There was a Band-Aid commercial in the early 70's with a couple guys in the shower singing that their band-aid stayed on in the shower. 11-year-old me was confused as to why that commercial made my lower parts so tingly...

I turned off iMessages for good after a bug (years ago) made it fail to deliver an important message, but not give me any indication it'd failed. The person I was sending to had just switched from an iPhone to an Android.

When's International Men's Day? Lord, I hope it doesn't conflict with our local Straight Pride Day.

My sister's had a trip planned to Portugal and Italy for months, they leave Tuesday. She just told me they're cancelling the Italy leg.

I wouldn't say that. I wouldn't find this particular feature that useful because in my circle of contacts, nobody expects an instant response to a text; if we want to communicate now we call. But I can think of a handful of things that are obvious features that nobody's implemented: on the phone, send all calls not from your contacts to voice mail. I know that's available on my iPhone but it's buried so deep in the menus that I always have trouble finding it. on my work Outlook Calendar, a one-step notification that I'll be out of the office, that marks MY time as away/busy but doesn't mark the recipient's time as busy. I have to do TWO notifications for the same time, one for me that's "Busy/Away", the one for my co-workers that shows time as free.

I'm not disappointed, quite the opposite, but I'm surprised. I've always thought (backed up by absolutely nothing) that it's easier for someone who identifies as a top to bottom than for a bottom to top.

Any experience with this guy? https://rent.men/MidwesternBear

This Bailey? He escorted?! Oh, the angst I'm feeling right now at missing that. He only did the two videos as far as I know but "Bailey's Fuck Buddy" has always been one of my favorites.

Hahahaha, you took the words right out of my mouth. I'm picturing @VictorPowers on the couch, and asking <insert Viennese accent here>"So you topped. How did that make you feel?" Keeping mum as to whether he's naked on the couch :-)

Comedian Rita Rudner had a riff on this. "You've heard that neurotics build dream castles in the air, and psychotics live in them? My mother cleans them."
