  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.)
  9. 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.
  10. Chewing gum while giving a blow job? Sorry that that's the part of your otherwise hot story that sticks out to me.
  11. 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.
  12. 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."
  13. Do you mean Google Lens or are you still using Google Image Search?
  14. No, I wasn't responding to your comment. Someone else just gave me a thumbs up on my year old comment.
  15. Since my comment from over a year ago just got a reaction from someone, I checked out this thread again and thought I would add this into the mix (though it's probably not "news" to anyone here): Some people can have a pretty active substance habit and not show outward signs of that if you're not with them 24/7. With that I'd say this: If you absolutely don't want to be with someone who might be using something when you're with them, then it's probably wisest to avoid providers whose ads list PNP since I don't see any reason why someone would include that in his ad unless he's at least open to the possibility of mixing drugs and sex.
  16. Makes sense to me. I think your description of your fantasy as a "big slutty party" made me think you were hoping to arrange an orgy.
  17. I have no advice, but just something to clarify during your research: Are you looking for guys who will only be expected to dance in a Speedo or thong or something, or are you looking for guys who do more than that? Also, are you planning to pick up the entire tab for your guests' entertainment or is the notion that guests could negotiate their own deals for "private dances?"
  18. Chef Geoffrey Zakarian was 61 when this video was posted. Yes, some guys remain lean and muscular as they age. That's always been true. If we're going to make a "what men look like today versus yesterday" type of argument, I think we'd have to be honest to say that the average man is in worse shape now than 30+ years ago.

  19. I was initially sympathetic with you but I don't understand why you'd find this odd. You found the guy on an escort/masseur site, yet you think it sounds odd that he indicated he expects to be paid and wonder if he's trying to monetize his sex life? I'd say he's an escort who is poor at planning in advance for whatever reason, thus he's failed to follow through on what you thought were firm appointments. Then he's reached out to you when he's available in the moment because he views you as a prospective client and he's ready to work at that time. I don't find anything unusual about this, but I do agree that it's disappointing that some people aren't just able to say that they don't want to schedule advance appointments so it's clear that it only makes sense to attempt to book them when you are ready for an appointment within the next hour or two.
  20. I'd suggest that asking in that manner is probably not the best anyway. A lot of men who have sex with other men on the "down low" would likely still check the "straight" box. That being said, I do think it's helpful for health care providers to know about their patients' sexual practices since different screenings/tests might be indicated. I specifically chose a gay doctor decades ago because I wanted someone with personal familiarity of health risks for men who have sex with men. My previous doctor was okay, but he basically acted like my sex life didn't exist. What I find interesting is that every time I see any provider at Kaiser Permanente (apart from maybe eye doctors) I am asked questions regarding alcohol use and domestic violence.
  21. I don't think that many twinks actually become twunks. As a twink ages and gets more muscular, he will just be a muscular man (jock, stud, hunk, etc) but no longer a twink. I know some delusional gay guys like to think they are twinks past their mid 20s, but to me a twink (and therefore twunk, which is just a muscular twink) is someone from 18 through early to mid 20s. As an example, by the time Brent Corrigan put on muscle he was well past being a twink.
  22. My now deceased father had a younger wife who helped him as he aged and got more health issues. He was able to remain living in a private residence with her until the last couple of months of his life. One of my exes' parents moved into an assisted living community in their 80s. The wife (who needed more assistance) wanted this but the husband was reluctant. Once he was there, however, he was happy as a clam since living in a community setting allowed him to make a lot of friends. I never visited where they lived, but it sounded like a good situation to me. They had their own townhouse with the ability to be as independent as they wanted to be (e.g., cook their own meals instead of going to a dining hall), but obviously support was available to those who wanted or needed it. While I've long thought that a Golden Girls type of situation would be a fun way to live my older years, as I approached that age I began to see all of the potential downfalls. An actual assisted living community sounds a lot more appealing than living in a private residence with a few friends.
  23. That's the real issue. I have a laptop from 2015 that I haven't even modified that generally still meets my needs. The one problem is that its CPU isn't whitelisted to work with Windows 11, so Microsoft is basically making it obsolete by ceasing support for Windows 10 later this year. I'm sure it will still work for at least a while, albeit at increased security risk when going online.
  24. Looks roided out to me. Along with being "straight," the hostility might just fit into some clients' fantasies.
  25. I've only been sore once, and the guy I was with was girthy and pounding me hard.
