  1. "Nip it in the butt" has me intrigued. Tell me more.
  2. If I assume the app developer has integrity, they probably are just fetching stuff in the background constantly so that when a user wants to find a match for an image that can be done more efficiently. They probably aren't really harvesting website logons and passwords. If they were, that would be discovered fairly quickly and everyone would stop using them. Still, it doesn't sit well with me that someone wants more information than they need and I generally try to share only the information I need to. And even if that app developer isn't using all of the information they are collecting, if they are collecting and storing more information than they need to provide the intended service they could end up getting hacked and then someone else misuses the harvested information. This is why I chose to never use Facebook or Facebook Messenger on my phone and I never gave Facebook my phone number. I don't need to browse Facebook when I'm not at home and anyone who really knows me can send me a text, not a message through Facebook. I don't want Facebook mining any more of my information than I've given them. I've been looking into refinancing my mortgage recently and have checked rates at various banks. The websites that require me to start giving them personally identifying information before they will disclose rates just get closed out. And if an app requests overly broad permissions then I either choose not to install the app or, if it's an option, I disable some permissions even if it means some features don't work as intended. I know that they only way to truly regain most of one's privacy is to stop using the internet and credit cards, to "live off the grid" as much as possible. I'm not willing to do that and I realize that modern life has a trade off of lack of privacy in exchange for making some things more convenient. But I definitely set limits when some entity tries to get me to consent to something that isn't reasonable.
  3. One would have to be incredibly stupid and/or naive to fall for such an obvious scam.
  4. I searched Firefox add ons as you suggested and the top two (including one named Search By Image) required giving permissions I was not comfortable with. Why would an image search tool need "access to every website you visit?" Upon reading the definition of this, I was advised that that included user names and passwords. There's no way I'm going to install an add on whose purpose is to allow me to search that's going to potentially track my banking usernames and passwords.
  5. You asked about him in the summer of 2019 but didn't get a response from anyone who hired him. Then you started two separate threads on him last month (maybe you titled the second one "delete" after realizing you had recently started another thread asking him him). One person had experience with him but didn't recall much about it. Then you posted a comment in a thread another person had started about something else, asking about the guy. So you've obviously been interested in this guy for quite a while and there doesn't seem to be feedback available from forum members. Maybe you should just finally "bite the bullet" and then report back to the rest of us how it went.
  6. I never thought anyone was attempting to be insulting when using the term "scort." It sounds silly to me, but I don't understand why it would be interpreted as insulting.
  7. I suppose that's true, though Tom seems to post photos of himself in a swimsuit almost daily on Instagram.
  8. I'm hoping to retire at 60, if my finances appear to be in order for me to do so. It isn't that my job is absolutely horrible, but I so sick of the level of incompetence where I work that I really want to get away from where I work. I may end up working part time or just doing volunteer work after I retire -- I certainly don't intend to just sit on my ass full time -- but to not have a 40 hour per week commitment and to not have to do 75% or more of the work on a two-person team will feel great.
  9. So he wants $300 per hour to get serviced? Thanks, but no thanks.
  10. In other words, he's probably testing markets to see whether it would be worthwhile for him to travel by claiming to be somewhere he isn't. Or maybe he's a flight attendant who had a layover in San Francisco for a long enough period to have a client or two.
  11. Corbin Fisher and Sean Cody concurrently had a lot of sexy models. At least Corbin Fisher still gets some men who fit the collegiate jock category. Not sure what happened to Sean Cody, but they rarely feature any models that excite me now since they are almost all tatted up. Same with Helix, though they have gone in a different direction. Sure, it's always been a studio focused on twinks but at least there was the occasional twunk like Luke Wilder.
  12. Unless you deliberately bought a small dildo, it could just be that you are trying to use something too large -- particularly for someone who isn't experienced with having something up his ass. The last dildo I bought was so big that I was only ever able to get a small bit of it inside me and I have enjoyed bottoming for over 40 years. Of course it's also possible that you either physically or psychologically just don't like bottoming, even though it sounds like it isn't a psychological thing given your fantasies. All I can tell you is that the first time I bottomed at age 18, my boyfriend only used a little spit for lube because we didn't have anything else to use. My ass opened up for him right away because I wanted it so bad. Except for really huge dildos (I've never been with a guy who has a cock even close in size to the biggest dildos I've had), I've never even understood the need for much lube. A little bit really should be fine unless the top is going to be pounding away at your hole for a long time.
  13. What's interesting is that I previously would have just assumed that the person running the ad was a fake who just wanted to waste people's time. Now that I've known someone who is so disorganized mentally that he's completely unreliable when it comes to social plans I understand that some people are just so distractable that they will pay attention to what's in front of them, even when they have other commitments. Unlike most people, the thought doesn't even cross their mind to check their calendar for conflicts -- they just do what they want in the moment and then try to do damage control later if they missed something important. I'd say that someone with this deficit is ill suited to any type of service industry.
  14. Is it just me? I have no idea what you are talking about. Cade Maddox performed surgery on a porn scene partner to remove that guy's penis and turn it into a vagina?
  15. And you can use this to tell people your colonoscopy results.
  16. https://rentmasseur.com/LAs_Finest https://www.masseurfinder.com/massage-therapists/12857/ https://rent.men/Rainer - note that he has "frozen" his Rentmen ad so you cannot contact him through that site.
  17. I haven't created an account on Rentmen or any site that requires a credit card, so I guess I have to say 2. It isn't like I give my last name to everyone I hire, but I use my first name. My address and phone number could also be used to find my last name, I suppose, if someone were so inclined. Maybe I should have been more "paranoid" over the past 25 years or so that I've hired, but apart from one time where I called a phone number that got forwarded to police dispatch (after which the "advertiser" called me from a blocked number to warn me that I shouldn't be hiring) I've never had trouble with anyone.
  18. I've written lots of Amazon reviews, some of them 1-star. The only ones I had rejected were those that included negative comments related to damages during shipment or other delivery issues.
  19. And unlike many people, Paul Newman retained his good looks throughout his life. I'm not going to argue that I find 80-year-old Newman as sexy as 30-year-old Newman, but he was still quite the attractive man at 80.
  20. Previously discussed a few years ago shortly after they opened. Not many comments from people who actually went there, but there's no indication anyone had "luck" with a masseur there. https://www.companyofmen.org/threads/m-spa-san-francisco.140187/
  21. I hate to blame victims of scams, but sometimes one does have to wonder how it is that anyone can fall for some of the more obvious ones: 1. Someone you've never met who needs money to come be with you? More than likely a scam, but even if it is some lonely gay man in the middle of nowhere who wants a sugar daddy to move him to a more gay friendly city there is a way for a man like that to look for what he wants that doesn't start with a lame, generic message about looking for love and that your profile reveals you to be a perfect match. 2. Someone alerted me to this scam recently: Someone will message you on Facebook (or maybe sent a text) saying that you might qualify for a government grant. After a couple of messages back and forth, they say you qualify for a grant but that you have to put up some money for "processing." If it were only true that I could get the government to give me $750,000 for a $10,400 processing fee.
  22. I agree with you in spirit and that's also my outlook when it comes to my hiring, but I do appreciate that some people might have jobs that could be put in jeopardy if some guy got mad at them and tried to make trouble with their employer, particularly if they live in some backward area of the country. I'm sure the mere whisper that someone has hired an escort could cause trouble for some people at work. I agree that it would be safer for those people to simply forego hiring, but for those who want to mitigate the risk without eliminating it entirely because they want the experience an escort can provide I don't blame them for using burner phones and doing other things to hide their identities.
  23. The callbox is the same where I live. The code displayed when you get to my name does not correspond to my unit number. Given that it's such a large building, there would be no way for someone to know which name was mine if I just gave them the three digit code to ring me unless they scrolled through hundreds of listings until they found my code.
  24. If you are that concerned about discretion (and I know that some people might have reasons to be more concerned about this), then don't have people over. I have personally never been that concerned about my identity being found out, but I have always been concerned about physical safety which is why I always meet a guy outside my building if I have never met him before. Not that it provides a guarantee of safety, but at least I know I'm not letting in more than one person and that the guy I'm allowing inside matches the photos I've seen and that he doesn't seem obviously wacko.
  25. Stubble grows back quickly; a full beard usually doesn't. I can imagine asking someone who sports a very well trimmed beard/stache if he could be clean shaven, knowing that he might decline. I wouldn't even bother asking someone who has long facial hair to shave since I assume he prefers that look.
