I'm trying to figure out if it's you who's posting drunk or if I've been quietly drugged as I'm reading your replies

You do what makes YOU feel comfortable. Period. There's no shame or negative in attempting to help the people you care about. My advice is if you do give money, ultimately look at it as giving a gift. It's easier in the event things go South.

Some escorts have invested wisely and can weather this. Some will fall back on their education and join the real world. Real estate, marketing, design, computers, accounting. Some will find one singular client who will bankroll them. And sadly, some will be totally unable to handle the reality of this new normal.

I was getting into the swing of things around mid-2003. By then, things had normalized and the industry was chugging along. A lot of that was due to how popular Hooboy's website and board were: No one had really done anything like that before and the amount of traffic that was coming and going was just gargantuan. HB and Daddy worked their asses off to catch and contain that lightning in a bottle.

I agree. He adds a lot to this board. You might not agree with his opinion, but you've got to appreciate his erudite, matter-of-fact replies.

Yes, but they can only call if the infected person gives them that information. Otherwise, it remains the responsibility of the person who tested positive to inform.

As there's no public list of whom tested positive for what, it really doesn't make much sense from a safety perspective unless the person provides the names of the last several people he's had sex with, no? The link is an interesting read. It feels like it's mainly for demographics/stat purposes.

Hang in there. Thank you for the update I have a very close connection with Forest Hills. Spent a lot of time there.

I'm curious. How did that work? So, the escort tells the health dept who he's slept with and they notify you? Was he not mature enough to handle this himself?

Off topic question... How's Forest Hills holding up through everything that's happening?

Just go with it. He's like a fine hotel. The ambience of his personality just sparkles.

Well, based on his documented history with the Nazis, I'd call him a lot more than a pill.

Clearly, you didn't understand my reply. That's fine. Blind anger instead of critical, metered thought is not what this board needs right now. Blacklisting so quickly IS repugnant.

Actively promoting and actually working are two very different things. Before you throw the baby out with the bathwater, you should really send a message and confirm they're on a hiatus.

Let's not forget to also point at those who are actively recruiting and filming for their OnlyFans content.

You cannot stress out over things you cannot change or control. People are people. You can only protect yourself.

Unless we are willing to donate to a fund to support escorts who need help, let's just move on from this. Either side isn't seeing eye-to-eye and probably won't. If you're not stepping up to help, you're certainly not doing any good putting a scarlet letter on him.

Forgone conclusion. They're basically the Walmart of the industry. They can do whatever they want.

The most interesting/entertaining part of this whole situation is the influx of messages from guys who are looking for crisis discounts.

Just bringing this back to attention. Now more than ever, this forum is providing a place for people to come and communicate. It remains a great community. If you haven't sent Daddy a 'thank you' for 2020, now would be the perfect time. Or, if you've enjoyed spending more time here and want to continue to show your appreciation, there's no time like the present. Let's all help keep the engine going http://daddysreviews.com/donate

Large ships aren't my thing. But large or small, bottom line, you're still on a floating incubator. The industry will survive, but it'll be an incredibly tough sell from here on out. Viking, whom I genuinely enjoy cruising with, is offering ridiculous deals at the moment (free airfare, 2-for-1, no deposits, comped upgraded drink package, added money off). Even with the incentives (and all the tea in China), I wouldn't bite.

This is the kind of thread where gay self-loathing can be a little too evident. This blood discrimination shit needs to stop. If they're testing it (as they say they do) before sending it out, it's a non-issue.

Hahaha. No.

He's also still doing OnlyFans-type porn and currrently filming. He hit me up days ago to ask if I would want to film with him.
