I doubt a doctor would do a virtual visit for someone they have not already examined. However, I can tell you how valuable they have been for me since I got Kaiser -- and not just since this pandemic started. When I had Blue Shield insurance, every little thing required a trip to the doctor's office (where I always had to wait way past my appointment time for the doctor and where, of course, I had to pay a copay). Need to review the results of labs and potentially start treatment with something? Go to the office just to get a prescription. Have an ongoing issue like asthma and need another inhaler? Go to the office to get a new prescription. Have a concern that you might have an STD? Go to the office just to express that concern in person, and then get referred to a lab for screening. With Kaiser, my lab results are posted on their website. My doctor will message me if something is of concern, and I can order a prescription to be delivered via mail if I need something. If I need a refill of something, I can request it on the website and it either gets filled (if there are refills available) or a message is sent to the doctor requesting him to authorize refills. For something like STD screening, I assume that if the patient's report is murky a provider might want that patient to come in first for screening, but most STDs require lab work and not just visual inspection anyway. Why not just have the person go to the lab? I have saved a lot of time and money by switching to Kaiser and feel like I get better care. My doctor is responsive. I can see him (or someone else) if I want, usually the same or the next day -- I'm talking pre-pandemic here; I think right now they are trying to keep everyone away who doesn't absolutely need to be seen right now -- but if the delivery of care can be done via message, phone call, or video call then I can do that as well to save everyone time and money. I think the difference is that Kaiser doctors are employees of Kaiser and get paid the same whether they see you in person or provide care in some other way. There is no financial incentive for a doctor to insist that someone come into the office for something as simple as getting lab results. For providers, I can see this has a downside -- if you have a busy independent practice, I assume you can make much more money than you would as a Kaiser doctor. For a patient, however, I see no downside. I always had difficulty finding a doctor I liked who was accepting new patients when I had other coverage, and once I was an established patient it was frequently difficult to get an appointment without waiting at least a few days if not a week.

I have been using my own bags most of the time for nearly 40 years. It shouldn't take a government mandate to inform people that single use bags are a waste. I'm not saying they have no purpose ever, but I've never understood people's aversion to going to a store prepared with a bag or two (or more for a large shopping trip). I understand the caution right now against reusable bags. Initially I read that some stores were having their cashiers only bag into single-use bags -- customers had to bag their own purchases if they brought in a reusable bag. Going all the way to banning customers from even reusing their own bags seems a little silly if the notion is that the outside of the bag could have COVID-19 on it. So could the customers' hands and people are walking around the store shopping as usual (which sometimes includes touching items they don't buy as well as shopping carts/baskets, self-checkout register equipment, and payment equipment).

Same here. I have Kaiser insurance and they are basically trying to get everyone to stay away from their facilities except for people who work there and patients who absolutely must be seen in person for diagnosis or treatment right away. Otherwise everything is being done online or via telephone and prescriptions are being mailed. I, too, would not want to go to a medical facility right now unless absolutely necessary in order to prevent infection either direction (me getting exposed or me, potentially being a carrier without any symptoms, exposing others).

Tanner was (is?) so cute and I love his enthusiasm. My favorite scene of his is with another Sean Cody favorite of mine, Jess. I know some don't find Jess particularly attractive and I've read that he identifies as straight, but I find the latter difficult to believe given how quickly and how frequently he cums when he's fucking men.

Wow. Tough crowd. I just rewatched the scene because I hadn't noticed Nixon having a "belly pooch" when I first watched the scene. I still wouldn't say he has that much body fat that it's fair to say he has a "belly pooch." He's got a little more body fat but I'd say the gain is very slight.

If the airline cancels a flight, the passenger is entitled to a refund. If you choose to cancel your reservation and you bought a non-refundable ticket, you aren't entitled to a refund. Maybe some airlines are giving refunds to customers who change their own plans, but I think most of them are simply issuing travel credits and eliminating the change fees they normally charge. The expiration date of travel credits is typically one year from the date of original booking, but according to this site a number of airlines have changed their policies given the reality that a lot of people won't be able to travel before their credits expire.

What? Based on what I've read, the bill specifically includes self-employed and "gig economy" workers, something that is quite different than typical unemployment insurance coverage. It seems like if you are a masseur who suddenly has no work you can file for benefits. From what I've read, such people would be eligible for the extra $600 the Fed is kicking in for unemployed folks plus half the average unemployment benefit in their state, though that's just information I read in the news this morning before the House further tinkered with the bill.

I know what you mean about feeling sorry for people who have trips planned. There are still some guys listed on Rentmen as visiting San Francisco in the next couple of weeks and even if you ignore shelter-in-place orders, there's nothing to do here right now outside of one's house other than pick up food from a to-go restaurant or grocery store. Beyond that, I'm sure some guys are still hiring masseurs or escorts but the market surely has plummeted due to both economic stress and people wanting to limit potential exposure to COVID-19.

I wouldn't call them a deal breaker, but they are never a positive for me. I don't mind minimal ones on arms or even the torso, but when body art starts to cover up too much flesh I am turned off completely. I absolutely hate tattoos on the neck, face, and fingers and would never give someone who had tattoos in those areas a second glance.

I played the video only long enough to see how cute he was -- about 1 or 2 seconds, I guess. Yes, he's cute. I'm not particularly interested in watching YouTube videos of people rambling on about their mundane lives, though. If a video like this helps other people in his age cohort (or even younger guys), then good on him. As an almost 60-something gay man who has been out of the closet since his mid-teens, though, listening to another "coming out" story is extremely low on my list of things to do.

What? The lone erection shot in his ad doesn't make his penis seem small, but I know how photos of erections can sometimes be deceiving. From the neck down, he looks quite delectable to me. From the neck up, I'd say he's quite average looking -- certainly not model-good-looking or someone who can command top dollar. But that's just my perspective.

It seems like since Sean Cody has somewhat lost its way since the purchase by MindGeek. I didn't appreciate all of their models equally before that time, but they generally did have a type -- young, clean-cut jocks. Now their models don't look different than what you would see in most other studios' shoots. When I see newer Corbin Fisher scenes, it seems like they have retained their focus on that type of man.

You are funny. Given the number of digits, I wonder if he simply entered a phone number in the rate field (even though the phone number listed in the proper area is a completely different number).

The Urielx ad has at least one photo of a German soccer player. Kudos to the scammer placing this ad because at least several of the photos they used weren't traceable using Google Image Search. They made me work a little harder to verify this one was a scam. If only Rentmen put at least a little effort into photo verification (the first ad took a few seconds to find a matching image; the second about a minute), lots of people wouldn't put themselves in positions to be ripped off by people like this.

By the way, if you want to contact the person whose photos these actually are he has his own website where he's trying to sell a cookbook. It has a phone number and email address. I'd be shocked if his response is that he is the one who posted the rentmen ad.

Searching by the first image, I found the Instagram page of a model in Germany. I then searched that name and found the guy's Facebook page (not very active) and other social media content. I think I say the same thing every time: I suppose it's possible that some drop-dead gorgeous guy with a widespread presence on various social media platforms (maybe even making his living by being an "influencer") has decided to travel around the U.S. working as an escort, using the same photos because he doesn't care that his followers discover he is working as a gay escort, but... Nevermind; the possibility is just ludicrous.

I could swear that the photos are familiar but maybe under a different name. I couldn't find a discussion about him under his current Rentmen handle or the "jeffreyybk" he uses under "contact me," though the latter does bring up his Instagram account. Searching his phone number brings up a lot of TS escort links, but clicking them just brings up generic pages asking me to continue onto a site with listings so maybe his phone number is just listed somewhere on those sites and isn't connected with an actual TS escort ad. https://rentmen.eu/AsianForRent

I haven't tried any other way but I can give you a tip about the hidemeproxy site: If you are on a Windows computer, use Chrome. You'll still likely have to click the acknowledgement twice, but it will let you in. I could never get it to work with Firefox or Edge.

I share information that I would feel comfortable writing in a review -- that's it. And when someone inquires about a guy I saw many years ago I am forced to say that I don't remember details in sufficient clarity to be helpful, which is true unless one is asking about someone I hired at least several times and there aren't many men in that boat.

I also think it's a great thing that if someone doesn't want to work as an escort that these platforms are available for them to make money. I don't begrudge anyone preferring to have sex with select men for money versus having a Rentmen ad and accepting a wider range of playmates. As a sometimes client (though, truthfully, mostly former client at this point) I also appreciate that some guys enjoy escorting and others would prefer not to do any kind of porn because they don't want images like that available online for the world to see.

Okay, Dalton, you need to stop. First you show up here looking all kinds of sexy and then you have the nerve to be articulate and (seemingly) a nice guy on top of that? You have some nerve.

For some strange reason, that's the way OF is -- well, at least you have to give them a payment method before browsing content. At least with JFF you can see who's posting content before even creating an account, though a lot of content providers don't even offer previews so it's difficult to tell with some of them how good their content is even though you can at least tell how frequently they update their page.

The products are basically identical. What differs significantly is the calculation of the % of recommended daily amount. This is likely because there is no single RDA for vitamin D3, with a range of 10-20 micrograms. 12.5 is 125% of 10 and 62.5% of 20, which accounts for the discrepancy in labeling on the two bottles. Maybe they changed the shape of the pill slightly and the look of the package, but the pills are equivalent in terms of potency.

Last Friday or Saturday, a lot of fresh faces (and bodies) showed up on Rentmen in San Francisco. Whenever an influx like that happens, I'm extremely skeptical about all of them. I pity anyone who's genuine who just happens to begin advertising when the scammer(s) decide to overrun the site with new ads. A name change within the first few days of advertising is a big red flag to me.
