A thread about him with recent activity, including someone who recently hired him and enjoyed their experience. Just know that if you decide to meet him that there is no way a 39-year-old will show up. Unless he lied about his age two decades ago to make himself older, he's got to be in his sixties by now.

Found this article. Guess my hunch was right, at least about newspapers that served less populated areas. They likely were free decades ago, at least basic ones. American Journalism Review - Archives AJRARCHIVE.ORG

Until this thread was started and I did some basic research, I had no idea that a basic newspaper obituary cost money -- by basic I mean two or three paragraphs -- and were treated as advertisements by newspapers. I thought birth and death notices were simply done for free as a public service. Did that used to be the case?

It's been decades since I've seen a Scooby Doo cartoon, but my vague memory is that he and shaggy occasionally caught the bad guys through some sort of luck rather than skill. So, in a way, Scooby may have been like Gilligan but he had better outcomes. I don't consider Scooby Doo a superhero since a superhero requires having some mental or physical trait that is extraordinary. Scooby talking is no different than any other cartoon character talking.

Certainly not the first trans character on TV. Maybe one can stretch the qualifications to make that true: First regular character on a series who initially presents as the gender conforming to their sex at birth who subsequently transitions. I'm not even sure if that's true, though.

Lots of people regret taking all sorts of jobs. I've had a couple of traumatizing jobs in my life that had nothing to do with sex work. Hopefully anyone who decides to escort who realizes it isn't for him simply stops and does something else.

Robbie Benson yes, Dan Benson pass. That has nothing to do with his age, though. Since when is 35 "too old" to sell oneself based on sex appeal?!

My advice is to not dwell on this. You have no idea why his adult children wrote the brief obituary and it isn't really anyone else's business. Can you just give him the tribute you think he deserves? I think if his children don't mind that you submit an obituary to a newspaper where he lived, you can write and have published what you want. Or just write your tribute on social media. Have your own memorial for him, inviting those people you know who were close to him. There are many ways you can honor his legacy without having to bring into question how his children responded publicly to his death. Just to share my experience of attending my father's memorial: Neither my brother nor I got up to speak because, frankly, neither of us would have had much positive to say about him. My sister didn't attend but had an aunt of ours read something she wrote; it was a very odd "tribute" that basically reminisced about the vacations we took when we were kids. I'm sure that many people who just got to know my dad as adults thought he was a fun person, but I'd argue that those who really knew him knew he was either unwilling or unable to connect emotionally, and those of us who were raised by him knew him as a sometimes violent person who was, for the most part, not interested in his kids' well being apart from providing food and shelter. I hope no one judged my brother or me for not speaking; we both thought it was better to not speak ill of the dead and neither one of us was willing to get up in front of a group of people and lie about our experience with our father.

While I think your inclination to offer a lower rate for just hanging out is admirable, I have to wonder if it wouldn't end up backfiring on you. You losing other income generating opportunities. The client demanding more of your time at a reduced rate than is comfortable for you.

I don't understand the interest in eating contests, either for the participants or the viewers. It just is gross to me to watch people be that gluttonous.

Sorry about my typos/poor grammar. I edited my post a few times to try to be as direct as possible without being rude and I see it doesn't make complete sense.

I'll just point out that according to you posted a similar "review" on Yelp that also has a previous negative review of the same spa by you. It certainly makes me wonder if you have an axe to grind against this place since I know I'm not likely to patronize a business again where I felt they deserved a 1-star review.

Mormonism is certainly a fetish for some. For a while, there was a porn studio named Mormon Boys where their scenes were fantasy hookups between church elders and bishops. I don't know if the Mormon church threatened to sue them, but they changed their name to Missionary Boys.

It happened to me once. I told the guy to ease up on the pressure and he'd do so for a few strokes, and then he'd go back to what was apparently his style. I told him I didn't like what he was doing and he joked that he was "an s&m masseur." I told him he should advertise that way if that was his thing since I wouldn't have hired him had I known that. It was all rather uncomfortable (physically and otherwise). I agree that it's likely that these guys just aren't properly trained in massage, and they have misinterpreted "deep tissue" to mean put as much force as they can all over the body in an uncontrolled fashion.

Imagine a restaurant with two adjacent tables that each accommodate two people. They accept a reservation for two, but have an empty table next to them that hasn't been reserved. Then they get a request for a party of four, and they book that and tell the party of two who has already reserved that they can no longer accommodate them. I've never had that happen to me. I have certainly encountered restaurants that won't make reservations for small parties, but when they do make reservations for parties of two they honor them. It just doesn't make sense to me that a provider would book an appointment and then not honor it, barring some unforeseen circumstance that doesn't include just getting a more lucrative offer. Sounds like that provider needs to better schedule his time in advance. For example, if he likes being available for overnights then don't schedule one hour appointments that begin after whatever time he would need to be available for an overnight. It's bad enough when a provider is flaky when you've never seen them before (and I've had my share of no-shows as well as men who cannot manage their time well and make me wait near their place because they are still with someone else or aren't home yet), but when it's someone you've seen before it's just puzzling from a business perspective. Who wants to cause a repeat customer to decide to take his business elsewhere?

I enjoy that scene from Can't Stop the Music...one of the few decent scenes in the movie. It's too bad that Victor Willis had left the group by the time they did this. I don't think there is any argument that his replacement, Ray Simpson (brother of Valerie Simpson of Ashford & Simpson fame), is a much better singer, but Village People songs don't call for a technically good singer. The kind of macho shout singing Victor Willis did was a far better fit for the group, and it's difficult for me to listen to VP songs where Victor's lead vocals were replaced by Ray's such as in this clip of YMCA.

To each his own. That's why I think it makes sense for someone (not just the OP but everyone) to do their research first and then ask about specific providers who interest them. Just because one guy claims he's hot & handsome doesn't mean everyone will react to him that way.

Assuming your inquiry is sincere, lseactuary90, I think you need to do more leg work to find what you want. I just checked NYC listings on Rentmen and if I'm not mistaken there are over 1,000 ads. Surely you could filter the search results based on what you like most, and then maybe make a list of 10 or so guys whose ads appeal most to you based on what they've written. Then search for those providers here to see if they have already been discussed and, if not, you can start a new thread asking about them. I just filtered the results to guys only 30 and under, at least 5'11" tall, and with a muscular build. There were still about 100 provider ads in NYC.

I usually reply, but there are certain circumstances where I will ignore the message: 1. Newish forum member who is asking for details about someone about whom I made a negative post years ago. I always wonder if those are some sort of fishing expedition, with the escort/masseur trying to identify clients who have posted not-so-nice things about him. 2. People whose questions are far too personal, i.e., they expect to provide details of everything I did with the provider in question. What makes no sense to me are the PMs about providers about whom I posted something many years ago when there are more current public discussions about that provider. I still occasionally get PMs about Rainer in Los Angeles even though I only hired him twice and I think that was about a decade ago. How am I supposed to remember anything beyond what I posted publicly back then, at least anything that I'd be willing to share in a DM? I do typically reply to messages like that, though, if only to say that since it's been so long since I hired the guy in question that I cannot recall anything other than what I previously posted.

As others have written, a bit of age shaving is so common that I don't really think twice about it. When it becomes problematic is someone claiming to be significantly younger than they are (no way around it, a well-toned, handsome man who is 50 is not going to look like he's 25 even if he has the best genes on the planet). For career providers, this is obvious to local customers because the providers either never update their claimed age or they increment it a year or two occasionally before reverting back to their previous claimed age. There are a couple of guys in my area who have been 39 for more than two decades.

Why does either of you have to be "wrong?" It just didn't work out.

I found a thread discussing him (in which he participated) on the lpsg website. Seems like he has a reputation for not being nice, especially when someone posts anything that challenges/questions him. The thread eventually evolved into him and those who are content to subscribe to his Only Fans page to mostly see solo content (from what I gather; I haven't subscribed). So I guess you "triggered" him by simply pointing out that he was advertising in multiple locations at the same time and asking where he really was, but it's very telling that he reacted so strongly to being called out for not really offering in person services but actually just attempting to drive OF traffic by calling you a derogatory name and then posting your phone number on Twitter. He disclosed that he has autism, but I think one can be on the spectrum and not be a complete asshole.

I understand your point of view, but I'm not sure you understood mine: I very well might be satisfied by an encounter where I don't cum. In fact, it happens not infrequently simply because I have delayed orgasms as a result of a medication I take. Unless I hire someone for an extended appointment, I'm almost assured I won't cum when I'm with him. But even when I could cum more quickly, sometimes I just enjoyed sucking men off. That was the enjoyment.

I agree about not putting anything in writing. I also wouldn't make the statement that you want to cum as part of the session about him. Simply present it as something you want and then if he attempts to redirect you again you can simply say that you won't be hiring him again because having an orgasm is an important part of a session for you.

Am I the only forum member who thinks this arrangement sounds pretty good?! $150 for a 2-hour good therapeutic massage? Sounds like a good rate to me since most guys where I live want more than that for one hour. The sensual elements involve him rimming you and letting you suck him off? As someone who loves sucking cock, I'd be very happy to have a masseur who has legit massage skills who's also hot let me blow him as part of the massage. Maybe I'd be a tiny bit disappointed about not cumming during the session, but I'd probably just get off as soon as I got home while looking at his photos and remembering the taste of his cum. I am not a "sub" in terms of wanting to be dominated, but I do enjoy making a guy cum as much as I enjoy having an orgasm myself. And I love, love, love looking up at a hot guy who has his dick in my mouth.
