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?

Edging, handjobs, milking can all be hot ways to spice up a sex life. Allowing someone else control of your orgasm can be a fucking amazing thing. I was never much into getting edged, but had one incredibly long edge session with a client and it was sexually bonkers. 3 hours of being right there. It was great. Massive pop shot.

Before he leaves his country, you need to inject some direct reality into this situation. Ask him, point-blank, if this is paid time or his vacation. Ask if there will be intimacy involved. Communicate everything you might be wondering as to avoid a potentially uncomfortable situation. This is where 90% of problems start. Avoid those issues now.

The thing an intelligent sub realizes (somewhere, deep down) is the he's always in control. You stop the flow of money... You end the scene. Period. It's just a game, a play, a back-and-forth. A sub should never put all of his eggs in one basket and allow an unknown alpha to ruin him financially. Like walking up to a blackjack table, decide how much you're willing to lose and when you hit that amount, get up and leave.

I don't have a domain name suggestion, but I always suggest KISS. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KISS_principle

The way the show jumps back and forth in time is interesting. The Shakespearean twist is nicely implemented. It feels natural for what's happened to their world. It was also fun that they used a building I grew up in as one of the filmed locations. I second the recommendation

Not true. COVID has changed many, many people. One year 'off' and the world clearly stopped giving a shit.

It's easy to see the upload date on the photos. That's (usually) the map with RM photos.

I use this as a pre-workout: https://puruslabs.com/products/noxygen

Nitrates (NO3) are what make beet juice helpful. However, based on multiple studies, you're likely better off taking a daily vasodilator. The same pills or powders that bodybuilders use as pre-workouts.

This is like shooting fish in a barrel. When will just admit. This is why we don't drink and post. Escape goat. I'm assuming this is a special breed of goat used in Vegas magic acts.

Let me quote.... Myself. Cost of living is going up, especially in major cities. Rent, gas, utilities, groceries. Inflation is real. Perhaps not '80s real, but it's here and ticking upward. This means every service will have more inherent costs and will likely up their prices. In terms of escorts, how much is enough? Well, that's a per-person issue. It's incredibly tough to sit here and judge what someone 'deserves' to charge when you don't know all of the particulars. Ultimately, clients have to make their own judgement call without making it personal. If the price is too high, just say thank you and move on. There's no need to come here and get super passive-aggressive about what you were quoted. There's also no need to come here and use an escort's pricing structure as an excuse to make ugly personal comments.

Pajamas? Underwear? What are these foreign things you speak of?

The rhyme scheme was bad enough to resemble a Lloyd Webber work. Not quite schlock enough to compete with Wildhorn.

Well-worn, but on topic...

Strong agree. Rent had the perfect storm of a PR campaign. The score, lyrics and book were a mess. Granted, it was a show that got a lot of younger people into the theatre and to this day was a break for many Broadway performers who have had solid careers. I respect that.

I'd hope a lot of current working escorts have these same protocols.

This subject is brought up monthly. Perhaps it's time to roll them all into one gigantic, comical masterthread. Inflation, especially for escorts living in major cities, is a reality. Clients might not like it, but rates will continue to rise as cost of living increases. $300/hr is quite normal. $350-400 for a stellar, well-reviewed guy isn't unreasonable.
