When I a was kid, my uncle and his wife visited a lot. They were very country and decidedly working class. My aunt had two younger brothers who were both thuggish-looking country boys and they both wore Wellington boots. Both guys were sort of like the guys you would see running the amusements at the county fair. They also wore dirty denim jackets. Those Wellington boots gave me a raging boner. I looked forward to seeing those guys mostly because of the Wellington boots, but both also had sideburns, waaay long before sideburns were a thing. They only looked rough though. Both were quiet and polite and never said much.

Oh Yeah!!

I will be there.

To me it is "mild" vs. "wild." "Mild" to me means affectionate, romantic, etc. "Wild" means edgy, piggy, kinky, exploitive.

Agreed - he doesn't look Arab or Persian.

I would never stay at INNdulge again. When I saw my lousy room, I went straight back to the office and said I would be checking out in the morning. Got a room at the Renaissance and had a very pleasant (if expensive) stay. Had the same full-service masseur visit me twice.

He keeps a low profile.

Im going to be attending this year for the first time ever. A friend will accompany me who I am guessing will cause quit a stir. he's fairy new to the business and is utterly charming very very fit and drop-dead handsome. I'm hoping his debut at the weekend will give his career an auspicious boost.

My grandmother had a fairly illustrious lineage - interesting when you consider the fact that she was an ordinary farm wife in upstate New York. She was a direct descendent of Walter Palmer - a founder of the Massachusetts Bay Colony and she had two Revolutionary War heroes in her lineage - both from the Babcock family.

I have checkbooks for three separate checking accounts. A few months ago, I wrote a check for the first time, literally, in years. I only did that because it was an exceptional circumstance in which sending a check seemed easiest.

Back in the 80's when I was staying with my father in Rochester, I went to Toronto often to get a big city feel without going to New York. The AIDS epidemic was raging here in the US, so bars and bathhouses were pretty quiet. However, just across Lake Ontario, in Toronto, Canadians were still partying down as if it was the 70s. It was just great to drive for two hours and be in Toronto where the bars and baths were jumping as though nobody had heard of HIV. One time, on Boxing Day, I drove to Toronto to go to the baths. Silly me, I didn't know that the entire country shut down and pulled in the welcome mat on Boxing Day. So, even the baths were closed. I didn't see any alternative but to turn around and drive home. Coming back into the US, the Border Patrol guys were extremely suspicious that somebody would travel to Canada on Boxing day and even more suspicious that I would be coming from Canada on Boxing day. They searched the car, had me come into the office to answer questions. I finally just told them I wanted to visit the gay bathhouse in Toronto, found it closed and turned and came back to the US because there wasn't a thing to do in Toronto.

Why, I never would have thought of that. Thanks so much.

These are almost all A4A hires who contact me. One guy contacted me and I gave a positive response. He took down his profile and started contacting me privately.

Mostly A4A.

Has anyone else encountered this? The process of hiring a provider just becomes more and more complicated. More and more, I'm encountering guys who insist on cashless, anonymized transactions - e.g. gift cards or crypto. They want advance payment in full prior to the appointment. If you go to their place, there are detailed instructions about that - call on your phone, don't knock or use the doorbell, etc. etc. There are more and more conditions and stipulations. The whole thing has become a complicated, joyless business process.
