  1. Different strokes for different folks. I'm not a big fan of the "jacked" look. I much prefer muscular and toned but not so muscular that it looks like the guy uses steroids. For example: Stu during his Sean Cody days was perfection. Stu after he left porn to do bodybuilding was much less attractive to me, though I assume those who like the latter type of physique think his looks improved immensely.
  2. I am not intending to minimize rape, but what you are describing is exactly what some clients are looking for: pay a massage rate and end up getting full service. As someone who wouldn't mind a hot masseur fucking me, I'd draw the line for myself as this: If a guy moves fast and aggressively, basically forcing himself into me without any communication from me that I'm turned on by him and would want that, not only would that not excite me but I would consider that rape. If the guy is escalating the eroticism and eventually starts playing with my hole, spreading my legs apart, getting on top of me, etc, etc -- then if I don't communicate in some way that I'm not comfortable with how far things are going, how is a masseur supposed to know that if he enters me I am going to consider it rape? I'm sending out lots of non-verbal cues that I'm liking what's going on. I know, I know: verbal communication is paramount and it would be best if the masseur asked if he could enter the client's ass before doing so, but at some point the notion that every step of the way needs verbal consent takes the fun out of the experience.
  3. Yes, that guy has basically nothing to add to the discussion and yet he's created and posted several videos where he discussed Austin Wolf. I'm guessing he's just hoping that will bring him views to help with his monetization, but after watching one or two of his videos why would anyone watch another?
  4. Your post reminds me of the quirky film "Repo Man" which has a lot to recommend it, especially a scene where a very becoming Emilio Estevez is wearing tighty whities. (Scroll to around 1:30 in the attached video to see him remove his pants.) At any rate, generic food and drink products like the ones you mention play a prominent roll in several scenes in the movie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrRN5UZm2Cg
  5. Cereal has to be one of the most ridiculously priced categories in grocery stores. Even the store brands tend to be overpriced for what they are, but the name brands are absolutely ridiculously priced. Why should a product that's basically processed wheat, corn, oats or rice cost $8 or more per pound when the cost of the grain is so much less? At any rate, eating oats is much more healthful and one can get Bob's Red Mill for at least 50% less $$$ at a grocery store (and save even more money at Costco).
  6. I definitely have preferred brands, but usually not a single brand. For example, if I'm buying ice cream there are many brands I find acceptable so I will buy, for example, Haagen Dazs when it's on sale versus a more expensive specialty brand. Better yet, if I just want a basic flavor then Trader Joe's has good vanilla, mint chip, and coffee ice creams (and sometimes specialty flavors like ube) at every day prices that are similar to sale prices for Haagen Dazs. I do prefer Heinz ketchup so I will likely buy that even if another brand is less expensive when I need to buy it. Oddly, my favorite cola is actually Safeway's private label variety but given that Safeway has jacked up their prices for everything I can typically find Coca Cola (my next preferred brand) for less at other stores.
  7. Yeah, unless the most damning evidence we've read about isn't allowed to come in during a trial, there's no way he'd get a better outcome with a jury.
  8. Something doesn't add up. SSDs aren't cheap and I doubt anyone would sell any system, refurbished or not, with a 14TB SSD for under $200. Are you sure it didn't say 1.4 TB SSD? Even with that size of a drive, the price you got seems very low considering it has an i7 chip, 32GB of RAM, and an optical drive. If you received it and everything works as it should, I'd say you got a great deal.
  9. Your post reminds me of a conversation I had with a straight woman in a gay bar about 20 years ago. She was complaining about giving head and asked me why I liked it. I simply replied that one has to get in touch with their inner cock whore, to allow oneself to truly feel the desire for cock. While she was amused by my response, I could tell it didn't really resonate with her. I just think she didn't really like cock.
  10. In my early 20s, I liked to collect stuffed animals. Judgment from some friends caused me to get rid of most of them. I still have my teddy bear from when I was a baby. He's in bad shape but he's not going anywhere until I'm gone. It isn't like I pull him out to look at him or touch him -- in fact, I kind of had forgotten I still had him until I recently rediscovered him in my closet. The only other stuffed animals I still have is a set of Teletubbies, and I bought those in my early forties after the whole "Tinky Winky is a gay role model corrupting our youth" nonsense made headlines.
  11. Dawson was the bottom in one of Corbin Fisher's hottest scenes, CF 9-XXX Workout, where Duncan, Kenny, Connor, Tom, Cain, Zeb, Marc & Harper all fuck Dawson bareback and then cum in him -- and not fake cumshots either like some orgy scenes use. Even though I normally don't like orgy scenes, that one is really hot.
  12. If you do the math, it takes a long time for the crossing point to occur (getting higher benefits by delaying collecting Social Security until 70 versus collecting it at a younger age). When I did the math, I figured out I would have to live past the average life expectancy for a male in the US at this point to start getting more money by having delayed collecting Social Security. I don't really need the extra money in this moment, but I figured I'd rather have the additional income now when I'm healthy enough to enjoy having it (I'm 63 and just started collecting this year). Who knows if I'm still alive at 78 how healthy I'll be and whether that extra money will matter to me. Everyone's situation is different, obviously, but I think the blanket notion that it makes sense to delay collecting Social Security until the benefit maxes out just doesn't make sense for a lot of people.
  13. You don't need a computer to print at home. I can print to my wireless printer from my phone if I want to. I typically don't do this because I do own both a desktop and laptop computer, but the functionality to print from my phone is there if I want to use it. Of course this is easy because I have internet service at home and a wifi network. But even if you don't have that and just use your cell phone's network, there are still printers that will work via Bluetooth or something called WiFi direct, that basically allows another capable device like a phone to connect to the printer's WiFi network.
  14. For pre-configured, name brand computers, Costco typically has very competitive prices -- sometimes slightly better specs than other places like Best Buy for the same money. The computer you linked looks more than capable for your needs. That's what brings me to this question: Do you need that much memory, that speed of processor, that much drive space, a touch screen? If not, I'm sure you could save money by buying something with lower specs. Just browsing the internet doesn't require much in terms of computing power.
  15. While your post may come across as harsh to some people, I understand your point of view. Having sex outside of one's marriage and keeping it secret just seems like the opposite of love.
  16. It's definitely a thing in Las Vegas, at least for female sex workers. I was surprised by the not so subtle comments and looks I got walking around the Strip area.
  17. I get it. I had sex in: Lecture halls. In a dorm room while my roommate was out (got caught once -- that was an awkward scene, to say the least.) In a bathroom at work. Public parks. Parking garages. On the beach in Kauai. While driving. In parked cars (got caught by a cop once, but I think he assumed that since two men were in the car that we must have been telling the truth that we were looking for a map because we were lost). Trying to be quiet in an upstairs bedroom while parents were downstairs. Now, maybe I'm just lucky that video cameras were very expensive when I was younger and doing all of this, so the thought of recording it didn't even enter my mind. Also, there was nowhere online to post things. Then again, I'm hoping that I just would have had more sense than this guy. It's one thing to have sex in public and enjoy the thrill of it; it's another thing to record yourself doing it where both your face and the environment leave no doubt as to who's in the video, and then to share those videos online.
  18. Is $500/hour really the average rate now? I'll confess I'm out of the loop because I seldom hire anymore. Using an online inflation calculator and using $150-$200/hour as the readily available rate in 2000, today's readily available rate should be about $270-$370/hour. It was also fairly easy to find hot guys on Craigslist or Adam4adam who charged less and, of course, there were the "porn stars" who had higher rates. Maybe the lower end of the range is harder to find now, and maybe the number of guys who think of themselves as "stars" has increased since people can create their own content for Only Fans. I would still hope that the average rate today isn't $500/hour since that not only far outpaces inflation but also, quite honestly, unless one is talking about the most amazingly attractive guy who can also provide a stellar experience that just doesn't seem to offer a value proposition.
  19. We all like what we like. It's funny that while I like a guy ejaculating into my mouth I really don't want anyone spitting into it. I don't mind the exchange of saliva during french kissing, but actively spitting into my mouth would be a huge turn off to me.
  20. When I was younger I didn't like the taste of cum so I avoided getting it in my mouth. Now I prefer to have a guy cum in my mouth, particularly if we are in a position where I can look up at his body and face as he orgasms. I know I've written about this here before, but one of my favorite escorts used to kneel over me and I would go to town on his ass with my tongue, and just when he was ready to cum he'd pull back and shoot in my mouth. Seeing his hot body and cute face as he exploded into my mouth was one of the reasons I hired him so many times.
  21. Just from a medical/health perspective, I think your two options are simply to continue to not engage in oral activity or to require the use of a condom. It might be best to discuss your limitations in advance. You can do so without being presumptuous that the provider is even offering the possibility of oral sex by simply being clear that you are only looking for whatever it is you're comfortable with, which sounds like massage with a hand job. Since a lot of clients who hire an erotic masseur probably consider oral sex a nice extra, I'm sure the providers who have attempted to initiate this with you simply think that you would be pleased by this "extra."
  22. I moved to San Francisco in the mid 1980s so started going to the Pride Parade and festival annually at that time. Because it was the height of the AIDS epidemic, a lot of the groups and floats that were in the parade were associated with that issue. There were also many cars carrying politicians, floats sponsored by local businesses that were connected to the community (bars, shows, etc). There was very little in the way of corporate presence. The same held true of the festival with the exception of the food booths and a few things like a local chiropractor hoping to drum up business and a luxury car raffle. The people who attended the festivities were largely people from the community. I don't know when the tide actually turned, but at some point the parade grew in length and began to resemble a long infomercial. Probably the worst memory I have is watching a very large Apple contingent, all wearing the same white t-shirt with a rainbow Apple logo but with nothing else specifically related to the community. On the one hand it was nice to see that Apple employees generally felt like the cause was worth participating in, but on the other hand as a spectator it was incredibly boring. And because there was so much of this, the parade simply became over-long, boring, and not community focused. The same thing happened to the festival. I also started to notice that a sizable number of festival goers weren't even community members or allies -- there were guys walking around holding a woman's hand, ogling other women and not men, and sometimes mocking effeminate men. I don't know if they came just to express their homophobia or if it was just another street party for them where they could get wasted in public. I really lost interest in the entire thing. These days I more likely to attend a Pride festival in another city (Oakland, San Jose) because their festivals still seem more community focused than San Francisco's. I write all of this to say that I don't care if San Francisco loses some of its corporate sponsors since, in my mind, that extra money and presence didn't really help the day's events.
  23. The hide.me site still works for me, but only if I use a rentmen.eu link. It does not work properly with rent.men links. Also, hide.me has never worked for me using Firefox; I use Chrome.
  24. Yes, if he doesn't want to show his face in his ad he simply shouldn't show his face -- not use someone else's face.
  25. I hired a guy named Bruce Warren about 25 years ago. I didn't realize that he had done any porn until after I booked him. He only did a couple of scenes back in the early 2000s. I cannot find a good photo of him online, but here's the box cover of one of the films he was in. He's the guy topping in this photo. Though you cannot see his face, he was truly model handsome. As you can see, he had a very nice, lean, muscular physique. Definitely one of the most attractive men I ever hired. Not sure why I wasn't able to insert the photo into this post, but hopefully the link will work. If not and you want to see the photo I'm referencing, just do a search for Bruce Warren Gaslamp video and then click the link for the gayeroticevideoindex site. https://gayeroticvideoindex.com/images/Covers/9/video21299.jpg
