  1. The problem is that it may not pass the duck test.
  2. I don't think so. Early in the epidemic, the safer sex guidelines were draconian. In sex clubs, guys would stand several feet apart and beat off without touching or kissing. It wasn't shame that caused them to do that. It was abject fear. Part of the reason for the extreme guidelines was that the health care establishment didn't know what they were dealing with. There was also a feeling, though, that another agenda was also driving the guidelines, getting gay men to stop doing all those things that straight folks found so distasteful. Early on, much of AIDS policy was driven by these mixed agendas. Eventually, they realized that saving lives was the priority rather than getting gay men to stop having fun.
  3. In theory, verbal contracts are enforcable, but most lawyers will tell you that, without a writing to memorialize the agreement, you don't have much of a case. That's one of the grounds upon which Stormy Daniels is challenging the NDA with Trump, that he didn't sign the written contract.
  4. To each his own. I think he's had better moments. I find smarmy unbecoming on almost eveyone.
  5. A And, in fact, Cialis 5 mg is approved for BPH.
  6. A guy at the gym told me how good I looked the other day and asked how long I had been working out. I said, "Oh, forty years or so. " He seemed a little nonplussed.
  7. I don't care what anybody thinks. I always say how old I am.
  8. FF tops that otherwise don't do anal are not that unusual.
  9. I don't think the intent is there for extortion. You aren't threatening to reveal that you and the other guy had sex if he doesn't pay you. He is offering you consideration in return for you voluntarily forgoing your right to talk about your sexual encounter. Essentially this is an NDA with payment of hush money. In the Stormy Daniels case, nobody is questioning the legality of such agreements. Daniels's position is that the agreement is inoperative for a number of reasons. Nobody is questioning the legality of paying hush money. But on the question of prostitution, the totality of circumstances may well reveal an intent to exchange money for sex, in spite of the signed agreement.
  10. Where's the intent?
  11. That's not quite it: Q: How do you make a whore moan ( get it- hormone?)? A: Don't pay her!
  12. That's the whole point though. Unpaid sex between consenting adults isn't illegal. Avalon is proposing that you create a (perhaps) credible fiction that the payment is to keep quiet about a perfectly legal sex act. I think if the payment occurred too close in time to the act, such as immediately after, it would be difficult to establish convincingly that the payment was hush money rather than payment for the act. Especially if it was found that either of the parties had entered into other such agreements. It's a variant of the disclaimers saying that you are paying for time rather than sex.
  13. My USPS branch has twice lost certified letters.
  14. Love the way he's popping out of his shirt.
  15. In SF, the UPS drivers are a mixed bag. Some are some are pretty hot and others are more ordinary. My current UPS man is a trim, cleancut young Asian guy. I'm always glad to see him. The best UPS drivers ever were in Denver. They were consistently over-the top-sexy. It seemed that they had to be hiring them for their looks.
  16. I said it works for me. If I lived in a high-crime neighborhood, I would find a way to pick packages up - UPS store, Amazon pickup locations, etc. When I had an office outside of my home, I always had packages sent to my office. Now I work from home, so I don't have that option.
  17. Knock and leave the package works for me. Even though they are in a hurry, the UPS guys are always friendly and mannerly.
  18. They can be seasonal. I have a circulatory problem in one leg because of multiple DVTs. In winter only, I have a major problem with cramping in that leg. Spring comes and the cramps disappear.
  19. I didn't find physical therapy that helpful when I was rehabbing from spine surgery. I worked one-on-one with a Pilates instructor who had a rehab credential - much more useful.
  20. I get brief glimpses of that world from time to time and it always astonishes me. Not long ago, I was looking at Masculine Jason's profile (https://rent.men/MasculineJason) and he had a photograph of a brand new Rolex on his wrist that a client had given him.
  21. Limits to what?
  22. This conversation reminds me of me thirty or so years ago. I used to like to ask drag queens and trans women very intrusive questions about themselves. Somehow, I thought that the fact that they were different entitled me to ask things of them that I would never ask anyone else. In one of those flashes of insight, I realized what an asshole I was being and felt terrible when I realized that I was assuming that they weren't entitled to the same privacy that everyone else is. This thread has that sort of feel. For the most part, personal income is off limits as a topic of discussion except among people who know each other very well (I don't know how much any of my siblings make), but somehow, it's OK when its escorts.
  23. I accept age shaving as part of the territory. Either he looks good to me or he doesnt.
  24. We may have read the post differently. I read it as multiple properties, as in income properties. You may have read it as multiple residences. Multiple income properties meant multiple cash flows. Multiple residences means multiple uncompensated mortgage payments.
