  1. I am sure he is just concerned about noise from renters creating problems for neighbors and, thus, problems for him. I had an upstairs neighbor evicted several years ago because the inconsiderate slobs thought nothing of renting their small 1-bedroom apartment to groups of 4 young people at a time who would make a ton of noise until it was time to go out to a bar and then make a ton of noise again right after the bars closed. In other words, I had about 3-4 hours of quiet per night most nights. At first I just thought someone new had moved in upstairs who was inconsiderate, but it didn't take me long to realize that every time I went upstairs to complain about the noise a different person answered the door. The final proof came when one of their renters was outside my apartment in the hallway with her suitcase and her stuff strewn all over, with my supposed neighbor standing over her telling her. Guess she overstayed her booking so the "master tenant" made her pack her suitcase in the hallway. I decided to open my door to ask what was going on and my supposed neighbor said the woman was a friend who had just been visiting. I told her that I was aware that she had been having a lot of "visitors" and it was quite disruptive to other tenants in the building. The landlord was quite interested to find out from my identifying their listing that he was charging them $1,500/month rent and they were taking in more than $3,000/month. Within a couple of months, they were gone and a new actual tenant moved in. I'm not entirely anti-VRBO/airbnb and when I visit LA I typically look for an apartment because I can get something nicer than a hotel for less money. But I would never create a nuisance like most of the renters of the place above me did, and the "hosts" usually are very clear in their listings about limiting the number of guests, a ban on having parties, etc.
  2. I quoted you because my experience is different than yours. Instead of suggesting that the person worried about a masseur trying to top him simply not worry because it NEVER happens, I think he should instead be reassured by knowing that he can set limits with which he is comfortable.
  3. What a bummer! After I posted the above, I watched two more episodes On Demand. Now it looks like the show is no longer available On Demand, at least not from Xfinity. Had I known the show was going to vanish in a week I would have watched the rest of the series that day!
  4. Well, if that was an attempt at humor, it failed on me.
  5. Why would it be a "miscarriage of justice" when a murderer is convicted? I get that you are stating that the guy's wife (whom you affectionately call a bitch) probably "planned it all," but unless she is the one who pulled the trigger as well then it's difficult to understand your sympathy for him. My quick research shows that Kimberly Smith was initially given probation for her role in this situation but then later was sentenced to three years in prison for violating the terms of her probation. I'm honestly not that motivated to read even more details about these people or this case, but it's difficult for me to comprehend how you could argue a position that somehow the person who didn't actually fire the gun deserves to be locked up but the actual shooter doesn't.
  6. I have had a few masseurs top me, and some have tried to enter me without putting on a condom first. I don't want to create paranoia because unless the therapist is a rapist, the client can control whether the therapist can enter him. It's pretty easy to tell as a client if the therapist is trying to top you and unless you are totally spaced out it also should be quite obvious whether he took any time out to unwrap a condom and wrap up his dick. Either wrapped or unwrapped, if you don't want the therapist to penetrate you then say so and don't just go along with the flow as his dick starts pressing against your hole.
  7. Just stumbled upon this thread. This man is so sexy but I had no idea who he was. Fortunately an image search revealed it's Davood Ghadami, who is apparently well known "across the pond" but perhaps not so much in the USA.
  8. Man, that so-called music playing during the slideshow was just horribly annoying. I didn't listen to much of it, though, since I just kept skipping forward in the thread to see the names of the eight men listed. Topher is hot, as is Dato. I could do without all of the rest on the list. Like any list of the so-called "best" of something, it's just someone's opinion. As we can see, most people here don't agree that the 8 men shown in this video represent the cream of the crop.
  9. Since he deserves to be seen without clicking. http://d2948ivoqgnz9i.cloudfront.net/photos/146688.jpg
  10. I'm captivated by Austin so much that he deserves a photo here.
  11. If I'm in a blond college jock mood, I agree that Nixon is an excellent example of that.
  12. I don't think I've had a "type" for quite a long time. There's such a variety of sexy men that it would be impossible for me to pick one and say he represents my ultimate type. I like some of the purdy pictures in this thread, though.
  13. I'm happy you started this thread, Kman, since I hadn't noticed that I only got to see a few episodes. I searched and the show is available on Xfinity OnDemand (and also Amazon Prime, though I would have to pay extra for it there). Now I can resume watching the series. I think the producers assembled an interesting cast for this series, with varying personalities, skills, and back stories. And there is at least one seriously sexy man in the series, Jelani Mizrahi.
  14. Shocking. For the first time in a long time, Google Image search was actually useful. A reverse image search of the first photo in this ad led to one website (in Chinese) of a model named Jordan. The photo collection has other shots that were also used in Robertoros' ad. Obviouisly this doesn't mean the ad is a fake; maybe this model has decided to offer massage services. But the photos are definitely from some model's portfolio. https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=zh-CN&u=https://m.sohu.com/n/479453952/&prev=search
  15. Yes. Those of us who have been around for a while have a natural skepticism when a model-handsome guy has a new ad. It isn't that handsome men like that never decide to enter the business, but so often these ads are frauds that it's reasonable to be skeptical when a new ad pops up and the guy looks like he could be a cover model.
  16. Forget about passing muster. I need ketchup! (Just a little friendly ribbing.) The problem with believing everything you read online is that anyone can post just about anything. Dolph Lambert was obviously on holiday with Elton (along with a lot of other people). Does that mean Elton paid George Duroy to get Dolph to be there? Maybe Dolph just welcomed the opportunity to hang out with other hot young men along with not-so-young but prominent gay men? I think one website I looked at indicated that Dolph was dating a singer signed to Elton's label, so that could explain how he got connected to that circle. At any rate, I understand your fascination with BelAmi models. Many of them are strikingly sexy. They have featured so many hot men that I honestly cannot pick a favorite.
  17. That is the correct way to view Prime. If one doesn't want to buy physical items and get faster delivery of said items, Prime doesn't make a lot of sense unless you don't have access to much entertainment from other sources (physical copies of movies and music, cable/satellite/streaming service). In that case, $10 per month wouldn't be a bad price to pay for Amazon's rather limited catalog.
  18. I seldom even try to use it any more since (a) some websites make it more difficult to search their photos and (b) when I am able to search photos, I almost never get any meaningful search results. What was once a great tool is now worse than it was when it was first launched and men with erections would match photos of people handling brooms.
  19. If it ended at thirty minutes, I guess you could have just handed him half of his stated 60 minute rate. It's one thing when someone lists a dollar amount but doesn't specify a duration, but when a provider says (as this one does) $120 for an hour and then he ends the session early (which is quite different than a client having a happy ending and deciding that he wants to leave), he cannot very well complain that you aren't paying for an hour of service. Or, if he does, you can point out that only 30 minutes have passed so you assumed he was only interested in working for a half hour for some reason, offering him the opportunity to continue. But I get your point. Sometimes it's easier just to pay for an hour and leave, with the knowledge you wouldn't ever book the guy again because of his poor business practices.
  20. I quite enjoyed this show but I don't think I caught all 10 episodes. I thought I had programmed my TiVo to record the entire season but I must have just set it to record a few episodes so I could check it out first. Hopefully it's available on demand or the shows are repeating.
  21. Thanks for reminding me about how useless masseurfinder has become.
  22. The link in the first post of this thread is still active.
  23. In other words, twice as much as the rate listed in his ad. I also think that $200 per hour for an erotic massage (I assume that's what he means by "mutual nude") is too high since there are many other men offering that for less, but if he can get that rate then who am I to judge? Well, I will judge this: At least make it clear in the ad that the $100 rate is therapeutic only and that other options are available for a higher rate.
  24. I just remembered another film I walked out of, though for this one I stayed in the theater for almost the entire film but just could not take any more so I left when it's final sequence began. The film was Pasolini's Salo, 120 Days of Sodom. To my young adult mind at least, without any redeeming qualities unless you enjoy seeing people -- particularly children -- abused in the extreme. I only have vague memories of it at this point (thankfully!) but I recall sequences beginning with titles like "circle of shit" and "circle of blood." I know that some critics hail this film as politically insightful, I just found it an indulgent excuse to show physical and sexual abuse of teenagers. When it was clear that the film had reached a point where the victims were going to be murdered, I just couldn't take any more. It didn't help that the film looked so realistic. I have no idea what the actors were actually subjected to, but the torture looked so real that it was extremely difficult to watch.
