Just a couple of corrections: HB started the site from multiple late-night brainstorm sessions with then-escort Aaron Lawrence. Aaron is a smart guy who understands gaps in markets and he saw a review site as something that didn't exist and was needed. HB agreed. The message board became the branch off and both were wildly popular, with very strong daily internet traffic. That traffic is what allowed the site to financially self-support from ads and sponsored content. When HB died, his family had zero clue about this side of his life. It was tough for his mother, who was still alive. She was pretty 'old school' and when she found everything out, she was adamant about just shutting it all down. It was her prerogative. I can't blame her for wanting closure. It was absolutely devastating to her.

Some people don't want to be educated. This appears to be one of those people. We have decades of medical fact to base smart decisions on. If you just 'feel' you're perfectly healthy without the bloodwork to back it up, I can't deal in that level of foolish. Those people are the problem and frankly, the ones who continue to spread things like HIV and other STDs. Always know your status. The truth can sting. I'm not going to babytalk a grown adult.

We've truly gone into plaid at this point

There's your first mistake. I have all of Jersey blocked. Made life a lot better.

You can't put toothpaste back in the tube. He can pay reputation firms cash money to do this properly if he wants. It won't ever be 100% gone.

This is one of the dumbest, most uninformed things I've read on this forum in a long while.

I sat through this. I nearly regretted it. The ending was so needlessly showy. Sending her onto 45th was just silly. Chastain is a talent, but it was tough to connect with this production emotionally. It's just so hyper-minimal.

Babylon has now been released for viewing on Paramount+ Saw it the other night and thought it was long, but brilliant. Beautiful, one-take shots. The DP and Choreographer must have spent eons putting these scenes together. I wouldn't call it trash. It's epic, grand, overblown, sure, but not trash. Some great performances from familiar faces. It's also a very raw look at the transition between silent film and talkies, which must have played hell for the entire industry.

I wonder who the Biden admin will choose for the next TV judge

It depends on the series. Some do, some don't. With Lasso, they'll release a new episode each Wed (12 episodes this season).

Haters gonna hate. Like Hooboy once said, you know you're doing something right if they throw rocks. Creating a public persona, posting photos, expressing your views, selling yourself: These are things that aren't always going to sit well with random strangers on the internet. The worst thing you can do to your enemy is to ignore them.

To this, I say nicely done sir 👍 If you leased pre-COVID, the industry seriously undervalued where the future of the used car market would be. That said, used car values are beginning to stabilize with black/blue book values normalizing. As the industry is able to get allocations and availability in order, used cars become less important as they once were. The vehicle I just got rid of kept its value very well, leading me to one-pay this next lease along with the dealership cutting me a check for the remainder. All said, if you're in a lease and you have equity in that car, the time is now to roll-out into something new (using that equity to your advantage) or simply buy out the lease and walk away ahead.

Money factor on leases is not great at the moment. The deals they run in the papers and television commercials are usually the stripped down models with a decent amount of cash down. They have 1 or 2 of them on the lot, so actually getting that deal is next to impossible. Your best bet is to take advantage of the falling prices on the used-car market. The major issues with Carvana are soon going to flood the market with a ton of used vehicles, driving down prices.

CoolSculpting- as well as more invasive things like lipo- always tend to have high rebound statistics. You can't just suck out the fat and expect the problem to magically be gone. You first have fix your mental relationship with food to have long term weight loss. That kind of discipline is not an easy thing. To be honest, CoolSculpting is more for those who only have 5-8 lbs left to lose. It's most successful for very small pockets of fat (lower abs, flanks, fat on side pecs)

How does this qualify? He doesn't look surgically enhanced.

A beautifully shot travelogue with the mix of Levy's wit and humor, along with his somewhat reluctance to see the world. He's a bit of a curmudgeon, but a likable one. A curious one. https://www.apple.com/tv-pr/originals/the-reluctant-traveler/ I enjoyed the series, especially getting to see several places I've stayed at. As with everything Apple TV+ does, it's a gorgeous show and a visual love-letter to wanderlust.

All of these stories are horrible and I'm really sorry for any of you who went through them. It happens on both ends, unfortunately. I know many escorts who were stalked and threatened by clients or just internet randos. Some of it got pretty ugly. Some of those stalkers came from this very board. That said, I've always maintained that this is not the hobby for someone if they've got a lot to lose. It's entirely too easy now for someone to doxx you with the breadcrumb trail that's inevitably left behind just being on the internet.

Reading through this thread, I cannot imagine putting a needle into my dick unless I'm at gunpoint. Fucking is not important enough to me for that. As for the nasal spray, I was picturing someone spritzing their dick using the actual bottle. I guess I was wrong on that one.

I wanna see the video. Out with it. And don't give me that oh, it's just me eating tacos and sightseeing bullshit. We're here for the naked backroom action vid at CC Slaughters

A nickel ain't worth a dime anymore these days

Amex tends to be extremely pro-customer when it comes to chargebacks, so this is a way for Rentmen to prove the charge was valid from the beginning. It's a PITA for sure, but it protects them on the back end.

It's because you're using an Amex. Use a Visa or MC, and it won't be as problematic.

This is absolutely spot on. Fire Island is now where young gay Manhattan goes to all try to keep one-upping each other. It's exhausting as fuck to be around. Unless you own the house or know someone who does, I'd say go to P town instead. My most fond memories of being on Fire Island are when I was sequestered in a house, away from the mounds of social bullshit in town.

HB created the original board and review site to let guys share info on both ends of the spectrum. He was one of the first creators in his position to be directly pro-escort, going as far as to have multiple private spaces on the board meant for escort access only. He started both the board and the review site as a creative brainstorm with Aaron Lawrence. The real secret to his sauce... What he did better than anyone was understand how to properly monetize his site without charging a penny. Grated, at that time, it was a lot easier than it is now. The forum changed because it had to. Same with the reviews. We continue to roll with it.
