Even without an NDA, if Geffen treated him well while they were together and is appropriately generous now that they are separating, hopefully the guy just leaves the details of his relationship with Geffen between them. No reason to harbor ill will or treat someone callously who treated you nicely. I understand that some might have the view that Geffen couldn't possibly have treated the guy nicely because he was using his position of wealth to get sex with a much younger man, but unless there's coercion involved I don't judge either party who wants to get involved in that kind of relationship. If I did, I wouldn't be a frequent visitor to this forum.

I wouldn't even go that route as it seems to present different legal problems since sexual harassment of an employee is illegal and it isn't legal in California to hire someone to provide sexual services on demand.

Unless the Mexican locals knew of places to get more from the US dollars than I did as a tourist, the places accepting dollars there always gave a worse exchange rate than available from my bank via ATMs. I doubt that many, if any, of these men were well off enough to just hold onto the money they were earning, so I don't think they were stockpiling US dollars as investment. This all did occur during a time when the peso was losing value relative to the dollar, though, so I guess it makes sense that some of them thought that even if they held onto the dollars for even a short period of time they would be ahead.

Many guys I hired when traveling in Mexico asked to be paid in U.S. dollars. It didn't make much sense to me since it seemed like they would lose money in currency conversion, but they seemed to think it was financially advantageous for them to be paid in U.S. currency. Only one refused pesos, though, after I told them that I wasn't traveling with enough U.S. currency to cover the cost. For the one who insisted on U.S. dollars, fortunately I had befriended a fellow American and he exchanged some dollars for pesos for me.

I have mostly used rent.men for quite a while and was not seeing measurements in the metric system like you. Are you by any chance using a VPN which makes the website think you are located somewhere else that uses the metric system, and maybe some recent change in that allowed Rent.men to identify you as being in the USA?

I'm pretty sure that a spouse under 62 can only collect social security spousal benefits if they are caring for a child under 16 or a child with a disability.

But your answer could be as simple as what I asked the psychiatrist when I was 17 years old: How did you come to know you're straight? On a gentler note, I still remember when my boyfriend's nephew asked me why his uncle and I were together and not with women. I simply replied that some men love each other the same way that a man and a woman can love one another. His mom approved of my answer (after the fact). It really is homophobia that equates being "out" with being sexually inappropriate or sharing too much information about one's sex life.

Just to clarify: Coming out doesn't mean you have to discuss your sex life any more than straight people discuss theirs. In other words, some people actually do have explicit conversations with others about their sexual activities, but plenty of people (gay, straight or otherwise) don't. Just acknowledging to someone that you are gay is not the same as discussing your sex life. I know that some people try to make that argument ("I'm not against gay people, but they should keep it private."), but when given even a little bit of thought that argument falls apart.

This guy is too young and wasn't married to Geffen long enough to claim Social Security benefits.

Are you referring to RentMasseur or RentMen? I've long noticed words like "sexy" being replaced with asterisks on RentMasseur. I'd be surprised if RentMen didn't allow such words given all of the other sexual information listed in escorts' profiles.

If I had the disposable income, I'd pay $1K for an hour with former Helix star top Luke Wilder, assuming he still looks good. Max Carter was never one of my favorites, but maybe he's the fantasy of some other very wealthy men.

I came out when I was 16. I won't go into all of the details here, but after meeting a few other gay teens and then coming out to some of my friends, I wanted to come out to my dad since one of the gay guys I knew had just come out to his parents and it went well, despite their initial asking of some silly questions. Unfortunately my experience did not go well, and I seriously contemplated running away from home when I was a senior in high school because my home life became even worse than the miserable existence I was already enduring. Fortunately a school counselor convinced me that it would be a big mistake to drop out of school to drive to San Francisco (that was my plan; I can only imagine what would have happened to me as a 17 year old in the Castro in the late 1970s), and told me that if things got so bad at home that I couldn't tolerate it that I could move in with her. So I stayed in school and stayed at home. Ended up seeing a therapist because our family doctor advised my parents that I should be assessed by mental health professionals; the psychologist was cool but the psychiatrist was a big jerk. I still have a funny memory of my session with him, though: He asked me how I knew I was gay since I had never had sex with anyone. I asked him how he knew he was straight before he first had sex with a woman. Fortunately my friends were all okay with me being gay, and I was already being bullied for being "a sissy" by some of the "jocks" since a very young age so my school experience really didn't change except that I was able to be more open with my friends.

I agree that a significant age difference shouldn't be an issue that anyone else concerns themselves with, assuming neither party is mentally incompetent. I briefly dated someone 25 years younger than me (I was in my early 50s and he was in his late 20s). We didn't work out as a couple, but more than a decade later we're still good friends.

One thing that occurs to me, simply based on the cities I'm familiar with: Palm Springs has a much lower population than many other cities listed, but it has a high percentage of gay men, particularly gay men of a certain age who may have both the money and inclination to hire. Maybe that's why the number of escorts there is so high relative to its population size. Having lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for nearly four decades, my understanding is that San Jose has a very minimal gay scene. The gay men who want to live in a city are likely more drawn to San Francisco since there's more going on here; otherwise they can live in any number of the 'burbs between San Francisco and San Jose. I don't know Atlanta (have never been as an adult), but it was known as "Hotlanta" in Michigan when I was a young gay guy -- basically known as the most significant gay city between Michigan and southern Florida. Maybe that explains why it has an outsized gay escort population?

Even though you said I was ok, I'd still like to apologize for stating that you had to be lying about your age. As a fellow fair skinned person, however, unless you are already aware of and taking actions against skin damage due to sun exposure, I'd suggest consulting with a dermatologist and following their advice. The sun is particularly harsh for people with fair skin, and everyone I've known who avoided sunscreen and hats while outdoors looks decades older that they are by the time they hit their late forties. I was stupid in my teens and early twenties, but I finally woke up and realized that even if I'm relaxing on a beach I need sunscreen and a hat AND still sit in the shade.

I'm not saying Joan's comedy was never mean, but her joke about the Obamas, when taken in context, was silly, not mean spirited.

Unless this guy has been on steroids for a while and spends all of his time in the sun or a tanning bed, there's no way he's even remotely close to early twenties. But at least he has clear photos so it's easy for prospective clients to decide whether they like his look despite the obvious age discrepancy. Age shaving is much worse when someone is just using torso shots (especially ones they have been using for decades) and doesn't have any face photos.

I filled out forms saying I was 5'11" for decades because my peak height as a young adult was close to 5'11.5". I had read that people get a bit shorter as they age, but I had never bothered to measure myself again until recently and height measurement isn't something that's routinely done elsewhere (unless you're arrested and they are doing a mug shot). I was sad to discover that my height is closer to 5'10" now.

I don't get it. The thread's title makes it clear what it's about. It isn't click-bait. Is it really so bothersome that someone started a thread that didn't interest you, or even that (perhaps) the majority of threads that get started don't interest you? Isn't it easy just to ignore them by scrolling past them? (I will say there's one poster here whose threads get on my nerves, but that's mostly because the thread titles frequently don't make it clear what the threads are about.)

Maybe something else in his response conveyed attitude or reluctance, but I just took from his reply that since he normally doesn't use condoms he wasn't going to go out to purchase them and wanted to make sure you brought one.

Chewing gum while giving a blow job? Sorry that that's the part of your otherwise hot story that sticks out to me.

I think a lot of it is genetics. Some people just have "baby faces" well into adulthood. Men from that type of gene pool are the ones who can legitimately be called twunks as they get older and put on muscle because their face still looks young. Of course staying out of the sun (especially if you're fair skinned) and avoiding or minimizing "partying" helps. The only other twunks are guys who simply put on a lot of muscle when they are still very young adults.

1. Hopefully you gave this advice directly to the acquaintance whom you recommended to the escort. 2. It seems to me that the escort could communicate the point without being too rude, if he hasn't already done so. When the client texts him to say he's "around," the escort can simply reply along the lines of, "Feel free to contact me when you are ready to hire me again." Only someone truly dense wouldn't understand that that means the escort only wants to be contacted for business purposes. If the client persists, then a more direct but still not rude reply might be something like, "I don't have time to hang out off-the-clock, but will be happy to see you if you want to hire me again."

Do you mean Google Lens or are you still using Google Image Search?

No, I wasn't responding to your comment. Someone else just gave me a thumbs up on my year old comment.
