Remember Me. One of Ashford & Simpson's best compositions and Diana Ross' vocals as far as I am concerned. Not many break-up songs have this level of maturity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKsvF5OX7ug&list=RDlKsvF5OX7ug&start_radio=1 Lyrics: Bye baby See you around Didn't I tell you I wouldn't hold you down Take good care of yourself, ya'hear Don't let me hear about you shedding a tear You're gonna make it You're gonna make it Remember me as a sunny day That you once had Along the way Didn't I inspire you a little higher Remember me as a funny clown That made you laugh when you were down Didn't I, boy? Didn't I, boy? Remember me as a big balloon At a carnival that ended too soon Remember me as a breath of spring Remember me as a good thing Bye baby See you around I already know About the new love you've found What can I do but wish you well What we had was really swell I won't forget it, no, I have no regrets Remember me as a sound of laughter And my face the morning after Didn't the sky beckon us to fly? Yes, you'll remember the times we fought But don't forget me in your tender thoughts Please, darlin' Oh yeah Remember me when you drink the wine Of sweet success, I gave you my best Remember me with every song you sing Remember me as a good thing Remember me as a sunny day Please darling Remember me as a good thing Remember me when you drink the wine Remember me as a good thing Remember me as a big balloon Don't forget me, baby

I was very impressed with them the first time I heard their first hit single, "Yes We Can Can." I liked that song and the b-side ("Jada") so much that I asked for the album for a Christmas present that year. I was very happy that they broke through to even greater mainstream success in the 1980s, but I still prefer their 1970s records. Their first two albums on Blue Thumb are stellar, and I quite like Steppin' as well which had the moderate charting hit "How Long (Betcha Gotta A Chick On The Side)."

I know I had a crush on Kent McCord on Adam 12 as a pre-teen, but I couldn't articulate why I was so drawn to him. The first "real" TV awakening was with Christopher Knight, who played Peter on The Brady Bunch. There was no confusion what was going on because I had a wet dream about him). Mike Lookinland as Bobby was closer to my age but "Peter" is the one who caught my eye.

While I understand some people's needs to take extra measures to hide their identities (careers and/or relationships that could be ruined), I've never been in a position where I was concerned about that. Therefore I always used my personal phone number, and I definitely hosted at my own apartment a lot so it would have been easy for people to figure out my name. My main concern was safety, not anonymity, so the extra measure I took was always meeting guys in front of my building versus just buzzing them in and letting them come directly to my door. At least that way I knew the guy who showed up was the guy in the ad. I've never been worried that someone would want to go after me if something "went sour." I either developed a good rapport with someone and hired him again or I didn't. Even with guys I hired multiple times, only one ever became a friend to the extent that we spent time off the clock and really got to know one another. With respect to guys who won't go away, I've had that with a couple of guys who texted me occasionally for years after I hired them only once! I simply ignored their texts, figuring that they just had a marketing list and weren't really paying attention to who was on it.

I am not that motivated to log into a bunch of different sites when I'm on vacation. I could memorize the ones I will need. Also, you could always either send yourself emails with password hints so you can then check your email after going through immigration. I do think traveling internationally is a bigger risk for providers than clients since they might be identified by facial recognition software and then more heavily scrutinized. Finding one piece of information that indicates an intent to work after entering the country is enough to deny entry.

Why not just leave your phone at home and travel with a burner phone for this trip?

I never carried my wallet when I went to meet providers (escorts or masseurs) -- just my license, enough cash for the agreed upon fee, enough extra cash should I decide I wanted to extend my appointment or tip, and maybe one credit card in case I wanted to stop off somewhere on my way home. I stopped carrying my wallet several years ago. The only time I bring a wallet is when traveling by plane, and when I get to my destination I leave the wallet in the safe. There's not really a reason to have a wallet on one's person -- ID, insurance card, maybe one debit card and one credit card are typically all I need.

The obvious solution is for you to look for other men to date. It's nice that you've developed a friendship with this guy and you can continue being friends, but maybe take some of that time that are you are using to hang out with him and use it to seek out other men who might be interested in dating you.

Is this just with you logged into the Rentmasseur site or is his profile also not visible when you aren't logged in? I would definitely move on mostly because of the lame response you eventually got. You asked specific questions and then after a delay just got a "let's do it" response? If he's incapable or not interested in actually responding to your written message, how attuned would he be in person?

Your last sentence answers your question. A kiss is sensual and typically the beginning of something intimate. For some that sense of intimacy is something they'd rather avoid, and getting one's dick sucked doesn't elicit the same feelings of intimacy (at least for some).

I'm not sure your math adds up. First of all, it's going to take more than an hour for a content creator to put together an hour-long video unless he doesn't care about quality and just shoots and posts unedited footage. But once that video is done and posted, it (along with the other content on the creator's page) generates income without further work. Unless the guy isn't very popular (i.e., has few subscribers) shooting the video is more lucrative than seeing clients one-on-one. All that being said, there are many, many creators on OnlyFans who don't have a lot of followers. I think the average subscriber count is even lower than the 200 you used in your example. When someone has that few followers, they probably are doing another job (maybe even escorting). If someone becomes well known and has a lot more subscribers, though, they obviously make a lot more money creating and posting content than they ever would working as an escort.

When I first moved to San Francisco about four decades ago, I had a co-worker who used to go to a theater that played straight porn instead of one of the two that played gay porn because he said he had more success finding men to service at the straight place. I didn't understand it at the time but as I got older and more experienced I finally understood his experience. In a gay place with a lot of competition, you might have less of a chance getting lucky unless you're high on the stereotypical sexual desirability scale (handsome face, hot body) than at a straight place where the guy just wants someone to jerk or suck him off.

I've occasionally tasted some guy's semen that was off-putting but, for the most part, I don't find any of it particularly tasty or particularly nasty. Enjoying swallowing is a lot more about my chemistry with the other guy than it is about how he tastes. I know I've written about this guy before, but my favorite guy to swallow was this young college guy who loved getting rimmed and then would pull back to shoot in my mouth at just the right moment. I really enjoyed looking up at his torso and face as he came knowing that it was my tongue on his smooth, clean hole that got him so excited.

I've been a porn hound since I was a teenager. It doesn't matter if I'm regularly getting it in the flesh or not -- I enjoy watching porn. While I don't subscribe to any Fans pages on an ongoing basis, when someone catches my eye in a significant way I'll typically do an initial subscription for a month (or maybe longer if they have a decent promotion for a longer subscription). Most guys aren't worth returning to, for me, because they don't post enough new, full length content to make it worthwhile. I'll also say that subscribing to some guys' pages have saved me the cost and time involved in hiring them as escorts. I figure that if a guy can't seem to have passionate sex with someone he's likely more attracted to than he would be to me, I don't need to pay hundreds of dollars to be ultimately disappointed with an in person meeting.

It seems like in order to make your point you are trying to twist some of our words. Yes, the thread was begun with the premise that maybe if these random hot men knew they could get paid to have an orgasm that a lot more of them would choose to do so. Some of our responses have acknowledged that fantasy while giving a similar reality check that you are -- not everyone wants to do sex work (which is so obvious that it barely needs mentioning). However, it isn't logical to go from that truth and the fact that for many people the idea of sex work is still taboo to arguing that no one would choose sex work if they had other viable employment options. This has nothing to do with living in a bubble. Also, this site is "company of men" and descended from previous sites that were devoted to discussing gay male escorts so our points of view are naturally informed by what it's like living as a gay man. I have no idea what the life of a straight female escort is like.

To quote Dr. Seuss' Horton Hatches An Egg, "I meant what I said and I said what I meant."

I understand that. I guess what puzzles me is why someone would bother to become an active member of a site where the main topic of discussion is something they find derisible. Maybe they just get off on being antagonistic?

I'm frankly a bit surprised how many people who post on this forum are clearly biased against both sex workers and clients. The assumption that escorts cannot get any other type of job is silly. The assumption that all clients are so repulsive that escorts must dislike working is just silly. I'm not saying that those things aren't true some of the time (though, frankly, an escort with an extremely limited sense of which clients are worthy should look for a different line of work), but these stereotypes seem straight out of some trashy movie from decades ago: Junkies desperate for a client so they can get their next fix, and physically and personally repugnant clients whose only opportunity for sexual intimacy is by paying for it.

It's interesting that the updated article indicates he possessed "criminal tools" (in reference to the cell phone he used to arrange the meeting), not "burglary tools." The guy is an idiot for a variety of reasons, but I am glad I don't live somewhere where police use their resources to entrap clients looking for escorts. If they limited that work to those looking for minors I would be in full support, but spending time and resources to go after someone looking to hire someone who can give consent just seems wrong to me.

Funny that my first thought when seeing this thread was that same Peggy Lee song.

Just in case some people don't want to click the link to read the entire article, I think the broader point that should cause some concern for people in the Mahoning Valley area of Ohio: The prospective client responded to what he thought was a (heterosexual) escort ad but was instead contacting undercover police. He showed up with burglary tools, yes, which seems odd for someone as wealth as him and was arrested. It sounds like they already let him plea down to "disorderly conduct," but maybe that's because he's rich. Who knows how things go for those arrested who have more meager means. I didn't research the topic further, so I don't know if they just go after potential customers of females or if there is an equivalent program to attempt to arrest people looking to hire males.

Just trying to clarify your last sentence. Are you saying that escorts who can get and stay hard for clients you deem "not inspiring" are "pathological sex addicts?"

With respect to the "worth it" question, it isn't like once you sign up you are locked in for life. You can pay for a month and then suspend your premium status for as long as you want and sign up again in the future if you want. If there's someone I'm interested in who has a significant number of private photos, I'll join for a month and look at as many private galleries of men in my area as I can before the month is up. I personally don't think it's worth it to remain a member on an ongoing basis, but joining for a month occasionally is like paying for someone's OnlyFans page for a month.

I have to admit I've only been to Palm Springs once since 2019, and that was earlier this year. I enjoyed my meal at Trio in 2026, but I did think it wasn't as good as it had been pre-pandemic.

What a shame. Trio was one of my favorite restaurants in Palm Springs.
