This feels like a typical Rich Campbell move. Devil's advocate: I'm sure he's hurting, like a lot of the travel industry. He needed to get this off the dock.

This is for commercial or business accounts only. If it's reimbursement or personal cash transfers, this new rule won't apply.

Mask up. Being denied entry back to the States would be a PITA. PV has a lot of cases at the moment.

I'll answer this from a white escort POV. Yes, we do. For many clients, white guys embody the 'all-American' stereotype that they're searching for. I think that's changing, slowly, but it's been the industry norm for a good long time. With younger client money coming into the mix, I do think we're going to see a trend away from that. It's needed to progress for awhile, but to do that, people's definition of what they find sexually attractive needs to evolve as well. Because it's something that is so incredibly personal, I can't blame anyone for what they find 'sexy,' but I always encourage people to explore and push outside of their box. I've done this with several longtime clients, motivating them to see a wider spectrum of guys to really figure out what works best for them and to diversify their sexual playbook. I can't be everything to everyone (and, frankly, don't really want to be).

I was a late '90s teen, but still felt that as an multi-sport athlete, we used gang showers and weren't uptight about being naked around each other. These are your teammates... They're like your brothers. It's not weird at all. Like @Tygerscentsaid above, it's also about the family environment you're raised in. I had two incredibly open-minded parents who encouraged me to just 'be me' and that translated into being super comfortable with my body from a young age. I was definitely that guy in HS and Uni who never wore a proper shirt. To this day, it's just what I prefer. To quote Absolutely Fabulous, some of this newest generation feels a little too PC, flagless, sexless, anodyne and milky white. Those attitudes definitely extend into apps like Grindr (and further, the bedroom). For people who were raised with porn-on-demand, it's astonishing that they're so fucking useless and robotic in bed. Perhaps it's because of.

You can't really compare until you've seen both, entirely. Watch the remake. It's not the original, but again, it's not trying to be the original. It's a companion piece.

Piggybacking on this, I also like DearJohn, as it's got multiple connotations and isn't sex specific.

It's not OOB, there's just no evidence. No link to an ad. No review. No prior meet. Nothing. At least the last link you posted is to an actual for-rent ad. That's something concrete.

Victoria's gonna have a shitfit over this one

Very correct. He was fiercely private and not prone to trusting a large group of people.

The steps at the Parthenon are slippery enough without having to navigate them covered in lube.

Fuck, I knew I should have just posted an Egon GIF

Wasn't that a rule in the Ghostbusters films?

Agreed. There have been a lot of posts lately, clogging up various sub-forums that don't really fit the bill.

I haven't been this engaged in testimony since they put Christine Vole/Helm on the stand.

First, I'd also suggest using a 'burner' app. I use this one, amongst others: https://www.burnerapp.com/ Second, client blacklists are real. The ones I know of are private and invite-only, as, naturally, they have incredibly sensitive info on them. They exist to just warn within the industry and not to doxx people in a public square. If you're truly concerned where your personal info might be posted, I'd also suggest looking into a service that finds and works to remove it for you. There are many of them out there, some of which do a solid job of keeping the aggregators at bay. Here's one I've had good experiences with in the past: https://joindeleteme.com/

I just imagine him using a Wii to keep his serve in good shape.

I feel like this thread could use some advice from the other thread...

Saget was a fantastic stand-up. I hope people remember him as much more than just 'Danny Tanner' One of the funniest Comedy Central roasts was his. When comics roast comics, it's always a treat.

Kicking the can a bit here. A sexually obvious title would be a bad idea: That's way old-school thinking and if the site wants to continue to attract younger clients and escorts, it can't be something so overt. Simple, yes. Creative, of course. An easily-cloaked acronym, smart. No ampersands. No spaces. No dots. Nothing longer than 12-15 letters. No camp. A readily reserved .com, .org, .xxx, etc. Putting any form of 'men, male' or 'man' might be problematic if the site ever wants to expand into trans territory or if there's ever a decision made to include by-birth women in the discussion. Females have participated on the MC in the past, giving us a needed balance/viewpoint. Don't only think about what the small group of people here want: Think about what this site 10-15 years down the line needs while at the same time trying to regain some of the incredible traffic that's been lost over the last decade (plus). It can't be hokey. It can be sexy, but it shouldn't beat you over the head with it. I realize I'm not giving exact names here. I never intended to. What I'm doing is bringing in some practical talk and hoping that whatever is settled on is something that will stand up in today's internet and escort industry. Not Hooboy's era. Not Daddy's era.

Agree. It was insipid fun, stuffed with a very weak social justice message. I wanted to punch every cast member in the face: I sorta felt that was what the writers were going for. However, unlike Succession- where the writing incredibly transcends your dislike for the Roy family- White Lotus didn't have that talent behind it, neither on the writing nor acting side.

As countless acting coaches will tell you, acting is reacting. If you're not reacting, well... You get the point. S11 is minimal, that's for sure, but it's fascinating. I can't say there's anything else like it on TV right now.

It's no more or less strange than people paying for sex. It's just another form of pleasure. As I've said before, it's might not be your cup of tea, but it's likely someone's. I don't judge. That wasn't always the case. When I was younger, I turned up my nose at things I didn't understand. With time, I've tried to change that. One man's trash, indeed.

You took the title right outta my mouth. This is ripe for an absurd acronym. I also like the .org touch. Could we also get away with .edu if the mods hand out honorary degrees?
