Not that I dislike the look -- I like it quite a lot, actually -- but it's interesting how limited the "look" is. If you look at the past winners circles, everyone has dark hair and everyone has a bit of skin pigmentation but not "too much" variation in either direction. No need to apply if you have dark or fair skin or if your hair isn't black. Sort of weird that an "international" competition seems so limited in terms of appearance.

I've never seen such a thing. $50 for 24 hours access? I know their personalized videos are horrible overpriced (I could hire someone to spend time in person with me for less than the cost of a customized video), but I've never seen a subscription rate that high. I also have never noticed a "gotcha" in terms of clicking on someone's profile. Most guys on OF show absolutely nothing unless you click that you want to subscribe, and unless you're asleep at the mouse it's pretty obvious you're subscribing for a certain amount of money. I suggest that if you want to browse a little, stick to Just For Fans. At least there when you check out someone to whom you haven't subscribed you are likely to see brief teaser video clips, video descriptions, the dates of page updates so you can see whether the guy is actively posting, and maybe some photos to give you an idea whether you want to subscribe. On Only Fans the only thing you have to go by is the number of videos the guy has uploaded; you might end up subscribing only to find out that the guy posts nothing but the same short clips he posts on Twitter (that happened to me once).

If you receive your package, consider that a success. Right now in my condo building there are about a dozen packages misdelivered by a variety of carriers -- USPS, UPS, FedEx and Amazon's own delivery service. I used to try to track people down on social media to tell them their package had been misdelivered and offered that they could come by to pick it up, but it was happening so frequently that I was spending way too much time doing this and frequently wasn't able to find a way to contact people anyway. I also used to contact Amazon and they basically won't do anything else you are the person whose package was lost/stolen...they won't even request the driver to return to pick up a package they misdelivered only minutes ago! A call to other carriers results in the same thing -- a waste of time on the phone, sometimes an assurance that they will send someone out to pick up the package the next day, but the packages are never retrieved. So now they just sit there, accumulating dust until someone who lives here takes or discards them. I can somewhat understand Amazon not caring as it's probably easier for them to just send a replacement to the person whose package is lost once that person calls. Unless it's an expensive item they probably don't care about it. One would think the carriers would be more interested in making things right, though, since I assume they end up paying insurance claims on stuff that goes missing because they delivered it to the wrong address. Maybe I'm wrong about that, though. I can understand misdelivering a package for a similar address, but sometimes the street number and street name have no similarities, and the deliver address isn't even in the same neighborhood. Quite shoddy work on the part of all of these carriers, and this isn't limited to this time of year when shipping volume is higher.

If a friend or family member of the deceased stumbled across that page, I'm sure they would quickly figure out what the site's about and stop reading. I guess that's to say that I doubt it's causing much harm to those people. It certainly isn't causing the level of harm that the deceased promoted when they were alive, so I don't have much of an issue that this site exists. It does seem to be more about celebrating some people's deaths rather than educating anyone. That being said, the people who are firmly anti-vax aren't going to be convinced by anything posted on a website that doesn't already align with their point of view.

I've never flaked on a provider. I have had a few providers fail to show up at my place at the agreed upon date/time who then never responded to my texts/voice messages asking what happened. A couple of times I have gone to hotels and called providers, as instructed, to either get the room number or have them come meet me in the lobby only to be ghosted. It's horrible that there are game players on both side of the equation. As someone else posted, this also happens in the online dating world. Some people just like being assholes.

Definitely the money for me as well. I was actually trying to find a way to redo this question that would tip the balance towards having sex with five famous men, and I think it would have to be this: I still get to choose 5 famous men, but I get to have sex with one of them every month for the rest of my life. Assuming one lives another 20 years that would still be about $4,166 per encounter, but maybe that would be worth it to be with a fantasy man every month until I die. I'd still probably take the money, but I imagine there might be more takers of the 5 men if it involved more than 5 encounters.

I'm not a provider, but... Seriously, I get why many providers wouldn't want to participate here, at least not under a screen name that can be associated with their escort persona. Some providers, such as yourself, have participated here without creating a negative image of yourself. There are others who have turned me off as a prospective client by being patronizing or contemptuous towards clients.

Carpenters - Intermission

I'm surprised that no one has hired this sexy young man, or at least that no one has hired him and posted anything about their encounter here.

The Saddest Little Boy In The World. In case you haven't seen this hilarious short (yes, I have a dark sense of humor), here's a brief description from the dvd listing on Amazon: Timothy Higgins is having his worst year ever. Always picked last for the team, this eight-year-old lives in a world of friendlessness, suburban complacency and prescription drugs. Now his ninth birthday party has arrived, and he prepares to upstage the musical chairs and birthday cake with a show-stopping suicide.

I'm a little confused. I thought this was one of those sites where videos are already being shared for free without copyright holder's consent/knowledge. I mean, their terms make it seem like they either own the videos themselves or that users are posting content they are legally allowed to share, but there's obviously a lot of studio porn there that's frequently posted without properly identifying itself as such. I doubt Bel Ami is obscuring its logo and posting its content for free with no studio or model names displayed. If they are keeping track of downloads, it's more than likely due to them wanting to prevent too much bandwidth being used by a single IP address in any given period.

Given access? Isn't it still possible to view this site without even logging in?

I'm definitely a 6 (or at least 5.9) on the Kinsey scale. I've never been into women sexually even though I was much more comfortable with girls/women than boys/men in my teens. But I've never felt a yearning to be with a woman sexually. I can recognize a beautiful woman, but I am not sexually aroused by her. I see a handsome man and I want to put my legs behind my head. 😁 I occasionally like to watch straight porn and am never turned on by the women, even the beautiful ones. In fact, if the scene focuses too much on the woman (and, naturally, a lot of straight porn does) and I don't get to see enough of the man's face and body I will lose interest. I'm watching it for the men after all. I do think that most people are between a Kinsey 0 and Kinsey 6, though. In other words, most people are probably bisexual but it just isn't discussed much because of societal pressure. It doesn't really matter, though, what most people are. If you are attracted to someone, explore it.

No. That's why I put quotation marks around that word in my reply. I hope my intention came across: While I am not doubting the OP's genuine belief that he's making an offer to help someone he perceives as in need, the whole thing just makes me uncomfortable since it's presented not only as commercial transaction (importing versus someone immigrating) but also the underlying assumptions are rather patronizing. That's why I suggested to flip the script to see how he would feel about being offered such a scenario if the tables were turned. Unless I was in very dire circumstances I would, at best, view this as a naive but well intentioned offer and, at worst, highly insulting -- as if I needed to be rescued by someone who lives in a more affluent country without much thought given to how disruptive that would be to my life.

I want to see a graph or chart from Kevin Slater showing the breakdown of how the $1,000 would be spent/invested.

I like cilantro such much that I typically request extra cilantro when ordering a burrito. It's an important component of a good pico de gallo, and adds a lot to some southeast Asian cuisines. What would a banh mi be without it? I've never understood the "tastes like soap" complaint, so maybe that it just a genetic variation where some people perceive cilantro's flavor that way.

I wouldn't. I generally dislike tattoos, but especially those on the face, neck and fingers.

Well, at least your tastes are consistent. You've asked about this guy before a few times in relation to his massage ad which uses the name BodyworkbyWill. At least I assume it's the same guy since the phone numbers are the same. There does seem to be a fair amount of feedback on the forum under his escort name, starting a few years ago; not sure if you searched for Warren Parker or simply looking for someone who hired him more recently.

Many years ago I had a very cute friend who occasionally hired guys, many of whom would refuse to accept money from him after the fact because they wanted to be a sexy buddy, not someone who only had sex with him when he felt like hiring him. I know that isn't the same as the escorts hiring him, but it's a pretty clear indication that they wanted to have sex with him.

Has he been to visit you for an extended trip, for at least a month? I don't know if that would cause a problem for him, giving up his job or taking a leave, but it would give you a better idea of what it would be like to live with him in your place for a bit longer of a period of time. I also suggest flipping the script in your mind, if you can, to see how the offer would appear to you if the tables were turned. Do you think you would perceive it as a great opportunity from a generous person who has your best interest at heart, or would you be hesitant because (a) you would be disrupting your life by moving somewhere you only know one person; (b) you would be financially dependent on the person who is "importing" you to his country; and (c) you don't really know what's going on in the other guy's mind/heart in terms of what's behind the generous offer. I think that if someone is truly miserable where they are, maybe any risks like that are worth taking. If he doesn't feel like his situation in life is that bad, however, it's actually quite a risk to give up everything under circumstances like this.

Not sure about all of the other services, but I think a lot of them allow the recipient to just pick up cash at a place near them (assuming the service is available in their area). My recipient just had to show his ID and the confirmation number at a Walmart near him and was able to pick up cash there.

I sent money to someone in Mexico a few times last year. I used Xoom, mostly because it's part of PayPal so it was easier for me to transfer funds since I already had an account set up. I also looked into using Ria and xe.com; not even sure if I was aware of Remitly. I wasn't sending a huge amount of money so I wasn't too concerned about fees or exchange rates (plus I was just sending a gift of a certain U.S. dollar amount, so the fees just impacted how many pesos the recipient got), though I did look at that information and my memory is that there wasn't a huge difference. Looking right now, though, Remitly is offering a higher exchange rate for Mexico as a promotion for new customers, so if I were making another transfer today I'd probably choose them.

Reminds me of a sociology professor I had who basically said that employers pay employees to set themselves (particularly their emotional selves) aside. His point was that workers are not just paid to accomplish a task but also to do so without letting themselves get in the way of work. My favorite escorts have been men who are a good mix of being genuine and providing fantasy. If someone is too detached, it's very difficult for me to have fun. I have no delusions that these guys would have chosen to get in bed with me if they weren't working, but a good escort is someone who can create pleasure in the moment with clients and not convey, even subtly, that the only reason they are there is money.

Unless it's a chihuahua saying, "Yo quiero Taco Bell." 😀

Here we go again. I don't think anyone really knows the "average rack rate" since the rates aren't available on Rentmen. I'm guessing there is a wide range, but my hiring is so limited now that I wouldn't hazard to guess an average. I doubt it's as high as $1,000 minimum for two hours, though. I don't begrudge a guy for trying to make as much money as he can. Maybe this guy is trying to capitalize on his twinkish, somewhat androgynous looks while he still has them. Particularly if he ends up making "partying" a regular part of his life he could go from twink to haggard looking fairly quickly -- I've seen that more times than I can remember.
