This show is great. It's got authentic Chicago grit. As a native, I will say a couple of the accents are spotty, but the writing is good and the camerawork is superb. Totally makes up for any small quibble.

Do you have to put pictures of his ass into landscape mode just to fit it all in?

I have started blocking on RM, but only other escorts who use the system as an industry-based Grindr. GTFOH with random messages and the 'trading services' or 'filming content' BS. I have zero patience for that.

In contrast, how about 'what's the smallest screen you've ever watched porn on?'

I believe you have your answer already.

There really are shades of the HIV/AIDS crisis of the '80s and how the federal govt (and by extension, individual states) ignored it. It's an ugly look. I truly hope they ramp up the crisis response better than what we've seen so far.

There are still private blacklists for the assholes. The Mr Number app has a bit of review-like capability. Earlier variations of this board had a private escorts-only board.

I got it in Toronto on a recent visit. Texas is sorta fucked at the moment with large cities falling way behind the eight-ball. My advice: If you're a sexually active gay man who has no plans to limit his conquests, I'd suggest a weekend trip somewhere you can get the jab ASAP.

What's most interesting is that for as 'all-inclusive' as younger generations can be about some things, their attitudes about sex remain somewhat in the dark ages. I feel like older gay men are much more at ease with sex. Maybe that's experience and having had time to experiment with everything under the sun. I guess in 20 years we'll see how it turns out for the current crop.

There's a lot to be said for your response. As a professional sex worker, I'd reckon it's our job to be up on the latest and greatest when it comes to protecting ourselves (and by extension, our clients). Vaccinations and front-line defense, any and all, are a must. Hep, COVID, monkeypox, PrEP, flu shot, etc. There's a lot out there that's available (and free) that can make your life and long term health in this industry a lot easier.

No, don't lie. Just be honest and up-front. If they can't handle your chosen profession, they're not the one for you. YOU dictate your life and happiness. Always remember that.

This is the correct, realistic response. Human beings often times let their urges dictate their actions. Monkeypox be damned. HIV/AIDS spiked through our community in the early '80s, but that didn't stop guys from continuing to fuck bareback.

Have you been to a Broadway show or in an airplane lately? People have turned into couthless animals since COVID hit.

This is the way. It's not about quantity, but quality. Lower numbers, higher rates, better experience for all involved. It's not easy to make that jump, but when you do, it changes escort life drastically.

1. Rate covers time. You're also expected to pay for airfare (if flying him somewhere). And yes, that rate should mean that his time is exclusive to you and only you (unless ya'll discuss otherwise). 2. The answer to this can be all over the board. Just talk with your potential date and see what his personal time needs are. For me, I hit the gym daily and that's a minimum of an hour. It also gives me a chance to quickly make private calls and return any text messages. 3. My advice to an escort is don't give a client a discount if you're not going to also give them the usual 110%.

You can't (or aren't supposed to) freeze or burn pigment issues. Those procedures are for raised skin abnormalities or skin tags. That's why BBL and IPL are the go-to for pigment issues (ie, age spots).

Her money. Her rules. Let her be. I'm no Kardashian fan, but respect the hustle. They're billionaires with a clear work ethic. Those who can, do.

You get what you pay for with Spirit. Honestly, their reviews are such complete and total shit, I'm shocked you even gave them a shot. My condolences.

Gladys deserves all the awards out there. She's a legend. If you haven't seen her live, I highly recommend it. She's still going very strong.

Ambien. Xanax. Nyquill. Duct tape... Which comes in handy in multiple ways with clients.

As long as we're talking laundry, the other step in solid cleaning of clothing in the washer, as well as general washer hygiene, it monthly hot water/bleach cycles (with no clothing in the drum). If you haven't done this, you really should. What's inside of your machine is probably pretty nasty. You can also buy tablets, but good ol' fashioned bleach OR (not and) white vinegar work just as well.

Fire Island is an interesting little bubble. While I enjoy the quiet solace that can be had there, I don't much do the circuit weekends or want to be around the constant one-upmanship that a lot of the folks bring into the mix. It's exhausting. Would agree that Cherry Grove is a ton friendlier.

e-sim has been around for a bit (since 2016), with US carriers finally adopting it over the last year or so. Newer iPhones are capable of a dual-SIM setup, using e-sim specifically. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT209044 I wouldn't say it's easier or tougher than finding a suitable international plan with your own carrier. It's just another option, as well as a whole other line for those who want to work two mobile numbers from one cellular device.

Beanie was never the right fit. She let a lot of people (who knew better) tell her she was right when she wasn't. While not a huge fan of Lea, she's going to kick the living shit out of this role. Huge ticket sales.

Tell that to my financial advisor and stock broker. They'd have a good laugh. Escorting is a career if you're a smart one.
