We- and by that I mean, I- are well-aware of off-broadway, off-off-broadway, off-off-off-broadway and fringe. But 80%+ of tourists stay in midtown and don't venture out further. That no one here has yet mentioned Oh, Mary! at the Lucille Lortell makes me a little sad.

Just because you know the words doesn't mean it's kosher to sing-along. You sit. You clap. You piss at intermission. You get an overpriced beverage. You clap again. You stand. You leave. Welcome to a Broadway show 👍

Any show that the audience is encouraged to sing along is not a show I want to see. Broadway audiences have become shit shows.

That's what you tell yourself, but that's not the truth.

I'm aware of where Portugal is. I've been several times. I've traveled throughout Europe, where tipping culture is greatly appreciated considering their costs of living. One small eatery owner in Lisbon not accepting tips does not make for all European ideology. EDIT: Just read the restaurant's reviews on google and I think I'm good. Any place that has multiple bad reviews for racial discrimination and an owner who clearly likes to intimidate patrons can suck a dick... And not in a good, life-affirming way. She seems like a c*nt. Not shocked at her reaction to being offered a tip. Perhaps a xanax would have been more appropriate.

Tips for any human being doing a job is appreciated. And it's Asia where tips can be seen as offensive, not Europe.

I'll put together a longer post with suggestions in the next few days, but wanted to say it's nice to see someone travel that doesn't base their entire experience around getting laid. South Asia is brilliant and has a lot more to offer than cheap sex. You're already getting some great suggestions

Yeah, he handled it better than I would have. Then again, I have very little to lose and enjoy telling trolls to go fuck themselves

The app has been a shitshow for a month. They'll eventually get around to debugging it.

You're overthinking this. 'No, thank you, I'm not looking for company' will suffice. All very simple.

Actually, strike me out of this one, thanks. If I knew I was going to be part of a public elimination competition, I'd have said no much sooner.

This is the demographic that's most at risk, both to themselves and to others.

But the whole point of this thread is to take personal responsibility for your health, which negates whatever your sex partner does or doesn't do. Sure, anything can be faked. Anything at all. We know this. It doesn't change the fact that I still take the time to use every single tool in a medical arsenal to protect myself.

I got some wild stories that would make anyone think twice about getting near him. And it's Justin.

No, it's unfortunately really not that simple. How many people has the escort or client had sex with since the test? There's also a gestation period for things like HIV: A test can give a false negative anywhere from 18 to 90 days post-exposure. An NAT HIV test is the most surefire way to go for early detection.

Yup.

The reality is that you need to be on a form of PrEP if you're fucking or being fucked by another man. It's readily available almost everywhere now. Both escorts and clients alike lie to themselves and each other about their sexual responsibility. Only you can protect you.

... Or, even a soul in Seoul, if the shoe fits.

I remember going there years back. It was small, but it got the job done. It's been closed for awhile now. I'm good working out shirtless, but would prefer it be outside or in a non-AC gym. It's tough to get your body warm when they blast the AC. World Gym/Steel seems to be the de facto gay gym now. When I'm in PS, I usually just hit the Orange Theory at The Vineyard.

There are many escorts who can handle a multi-day hire right out of the gate. It's what they do best. The comments here are speaking mostly to the hourly guy who you pay to leave, not to stay for dinner. Longer term hires are something that most here have very little experience with, so take any negativity with a grain of salt. If he's even taking clients at the moment, I'd say that Russ is the right combo you're looking for. He's very smart. Very funny. Handsome.

It was a hobby that earned him a very good living. He had saved nicely from his previous career, but M4M brought in a tidy sum of ad revenue.

For those who dislike the thick nature of SPF, let me recommend Korean and Japanese formulations. They're like clear jelly, blend in perfectly and protect very well. https://japanwithlovestore.com/collections/sunscreens https://www.byrdie.com/best-korean-sunscreens-4801000

It's really best to use a whole separate SPF made specifically for your face.

Spray works. It's a little creeper asking strangers to 'get your back' Plus, we all use cell phones, all the time, and most people don't want to get their hands greasy.

Isn't this just Darwinism at play? The world can only hold so many stupid people at once. The books must be balanaced.
