This is not the definition of BFE. This is, however, the definition of bullshit. I'm really sorry you dealt with this.

You should see what you get these days for one of Zulu's coconuts https://www.wdsu.com/article/zulu-coconuts-have-quite-the-storied-history/3369297

If he's making it tough to get paid, he's doing it entirely wrong. Sorry you're dealing with that. You could speak plainly and say 'without first settling on a rate, I don't feel comfortable moving forward.'

Inexperience is understandable. A lot of guys see an ad and think only about the look, but not about a guy's entire ability to offer him what he really wants/needs. That's where this is the learning experience: Use it when you consider your next hire. Find a guy you like, but also an escort who's got a solid track record.

I wouldn't visit Charlotte for the simple fact that CLT has some of the worst Admiral's Clubs in the system

Considering you're going to get a wide variety of answers here from non-escorts, why not just discuss this with the guy you're considering seeing? Skip the middleman and have a conversation with the escort. It's the best way to start things off.

The appointment went South, yet you still paid his rent and bought him gifts. At any point in all of this, didn't a little voice in your head say You cannot bribe your way into a great session from an escort: Learn this with future hires. Also, do your homework, find a guy with a string of good reviews and attempt to get a better feel for who you're going to see. I'm sorry this ended up badly, but consider it a learning experience and not the final nail in the coffin.

In the TR everyone looks attractive because there's a distinct lack of lighting. It's a lovely trick. Sure, it's been the Dallas go-to for awhile, but the TR is pretty grungy and not even in an enjoyable Corner Pocket kind of way. The dancers look hungry (in a wide variety of ways) and I hope that Magnum, as it finds an audience, will become the go-to. It's nicely-lit, great bar, plenty of space, seating, back rooms, clean bathrooms.

https://www.myfairladyontour.com/ Caught this at the Kennedy Center last night. It's based off the LCT revival from last season. I had wondered how they would tour it, seeing as the version at the Vivian Beaumont was nearly in-the-round with a massive, two level set piece that would roll on and off from the very rear of the stage. Thankfully, this tour was not much scaled-back and Higgins's large home rolled on and then functioned as a turntable just as it did in NYC. Impressive touring stagecraft, for sure. First off, the orchestra sounded large, lush and they did the score massive justice. The cast was uniform and very, very talented. For a first stop, they all seemed polished and as if they had been doing this for years. Shereen Ahmed as Eliza was beautifully sung and found a ton of strong comedy in the show I never saw with the LCT cast. Laird Mackintosh was the standout as Higgins: His vocal rythyms were a bit like Rex Harrison, but clearly he could sing. His words were bell clear. His movements crisp (as he was a former ballet dancer). I really enjoyed his take on the role. Highly recommended if it's in your neck of the woods.

You're exactly right: I'm not 25 anymore... However, with good connections, healthy body, skincare, smarts and immense travel knowledge, it will continue to serve me well into whatever age I decide to retire from this life. I don't worry much about competition in this industry. I have my own niche- self-built- as long as I want it. Bottom line, someone can't take your place if they don't know how to.

King Spa and Spa Castle are mostly look but don't touch. Sure, you can attempt to treat it like a gay bath, but they will call DPD on you if caught doing anything illegal. That's an embarrassing charge. I enjoy the K-spa atmosphere, love getting scrubbed down and have always been good with being naked in public... That said, I don't go there looking to get off. The risk outweighs the benefit, for me.

My favorite illusion from a porn film was when a hung, muscular black guy made his dick vanish into a slight white twink's ass. Best. Trick. Ever. Even Copperfield was jealous of that one.

Exactly right. The clock is ticking.

This reminds me of people here in Dallas who constantly namedrop SMU like it means something outside of the bubble. It's funny how some people never learn that it's not where you go, but what you do with it that actually matters.

For those of us who play/played sports, a jock is a familiar and functional piece of clothing. We all wore them in soccer and baseball. I'll wear one now occasionally, but good graduated compression tights get the job done better for me. They also help prevent things like lactic acid buildup on really tough leg days.

The big difference between Stern and Imus is that Imus never learned to become a great interviewer. Stern is now one of the best in the industry, if not THE best.

I was told by FT that while they advise against it on their site to mitigate legal issues, it can stand up to a good, hard fuck. And for those couples where Tiffany just isn't the right look, this might be the perfect gift.

Fort Troff has some awesome, heavy gauge cockrings that feel great and can be comfortably worn for long periods. Their Raw Pup silicone ass sleeve is great for guys who want to fuck without a condom, but still play safe. 665 is also becoming a fast competitor to Fort Troff. Some great gear too.

It was only a matter of time. I bet PayPal dealt with a ton of attempted chargebacks. Added, PP has never been (and never will be) adult-industry friendly.

This shouldn't be a side point... It's the main point. Eyes = money on YouTube. Like him or hate him, if you feel something towards him, he's done his job well. Indifference is the only thing that can truly hurt a social media star.

This whole thread feels wealth-shamey and a little ironic considering the nature of this board. His money- His spending- His home. Good for him for finding a niche and making it work (very, very well obviously). Are there reliable source links on him being greedy and some terrible person?

Yes. If you buy into the industry, you're supporting the cycle. I don't say this with jugement, just as matter of fact. On a basic level, porn is great: It's healthy. It's enjoyable. In moderation, it's perfectly fine. The big problem with the industry is that it's still got the stigma of 'star' attached to it... Ego is a double-edged sword. The money really isn't the issue, but more troublesome are the strings of social media, industry politics that frequently leak out, the guys who self-medicate in a wide variety of destructive ways (drugs, steroids) and a hierarchy of studio owners/producers that don't give a shit about their talent pool. Even with the growth of performers creating their own content, it's a fickle audience and an ever-increasingly competitive market for their money. The truly smart guys are thinking ahead of the curve and can forecast trends in the industry. Eventually the OnlyFans bubble will burst, as even though there might be some great looking guys doing it, the content is unimaginative, repetitive and people tend to have very short porn attention spans.

In addition to 15MM being used as a Viagra-alternative, I'm also submitting it to the FDA for Ambien consideration. Read, get hard, blow a load and go immediately to sleep.

Great show, but also a beautifully shot one. Their DP is incredible. If you've got a 4K HDR television, this is the show that will show it off.
