I think emailed him from his website. He responded almost immediately. Then we exchanged cell phone numbers and texts.

I got together with him a few weeks ago. We played, essentially non-stop, for several hours.

You might try Tyger. He's in his late 40's. Skill, imagination, very agreeable disposition.

Another thought that just occurred to me is that people don't necessarily become wiser as they age. Client #1, at least in the area of sexual prowess, may not have been getting any wiser than the 20-somethings he was emulating, while client #2 had come to terms with his limitations. This conversation reminds me a bit of my mother. As a young adult, I came to realize she was extremely status-conscious - always concerned with knowing the right people, having the right job, living in the right part of town, having the right silverware, etc. and she was extremely dissatisfied because there was so much about our life that wasn't "right." I assumed that as she got older she would become wiser, stop pressuring herself and achieve some peace of mind. She never did - just craved status and its trappings more and more the older she got.

Some also go for really tall men.

Late middle age (or early old age) is an interesting territory to negotiate. You have to be careful not to give in to the pressure to apologize for getting old and to stay out of the way of younger people. But you also have to not delude yourself about the fact, that yes, you really are getting old. "Aging gracefully" cuts two ways. It can mean behaving the way other people think you should be acting at your age, or it can mean being the best you can be, for your age. I was more than 60 years old when I got my first tattoo. I realized I was finally old enough to get tattooed if I felt like it. A youngish straight guy who I am friendly with asked me if I might be having a mid-life crisis. I just smiled, shrugged my shoulders and said, "Could be."

India is a major medical tourism destination.

I have Kaiser - they won't do it. They don't think it is a proven treatment. If I could get an IR at Kaiser to do it, my co-pay would be $100.00, I think.

What a gorgeous guy!

I need a venous angioplasty and stent. India seems to be the place for that. In the US it would cost ~$100K. In India it would cost around $10K.

I started looking into medical tourism ~10 years ago because I wasn't happy with the cost of available treatment options in the US for a condition I had. Even then, Belgium was a major destination. Back then, I read, most of the medical tourists to Belgium were Brits unhappy with their National Health Service.

It's nice to know that the Belgian healthcare system otherwise gets gold stars. Now if they can just do something about the time patients have to wait for appointments. There was a study published a couple of years ago that revealed that average cost of a particular surgical procedure in the US was ~$80,000.00. The same procedure could be had in Belgium for less then $20,000.00. And that cost, I believe, included expenses for travel to and from Belgium from the US.

This is in Belgium? I thought the healthcare system functioned better than that in Belgium.

To me tonsil raping, is having your tongue deep enough into your partner's throat that you touch the back of his throat with your tongue. When you're both into each other that much, it can be great. But, as I said, that sort of connection is rare. So, practically speaking, it's kind of gross.

When you're with somebody who doesn't kiss, it isn't awful. Tonsil raping is great if the connection is very passionate, to the extent that both partners want to eat each other alive. But those experiences are singular. So, for the most part, it's off the table. If somebody wanted to start that way, it would be totally obnoxious.

I agree. I think it's pretty sexy. I'll play along.

Don't discount the human factor in escorting. In general, not just with escorts, you often encounter interesting rules people have about kissing. The one I like, is with closeted guys, or bi guys or whatever, is as long as they don't kiss they're not gay. They can even take it up the ass, and as long they don't kiss, they're not gay.

Fisting.

Maybe you just have a tender hole and need to go slow. Maybe you need a different lube. I know that FF bottoms all have strong individual preferences in the type of lube they use. Some even create their own blends of various gels and oils.

Only three years between procedures? What's up with that?

I'd clean out and go back to the hot stud that made you want it so bad. He sounds like a keeper. Just make sure he knows you're a beginner.

I don't know anything about Orlando.Is there any reason to go to Orlando, besides Disney World and Maxx?

If I were ever to go to Orlando, Maxx would be my "Top" priority.

I get a lot of compliments on my build from young straight guys. But they always qualify them with "for your age."

I get hit on by men around my own age a lot. Which is great. I didn't notice it until I became one of them, but there's a large population of successful, in-shape, well-kept men in their 50s - 60s who chase after each other instead of chasing after young men. I'm finding I really enjoy this group. Now and again, somebody in their 20s - 30s hits on me online. I have an interesting flirtation going on right now. A classicly tall, dark and handsome real estate broker, around 60, who I assumed was straight. But I'm not sure he is anymore. We've had lunch a couple of times and he sends me flirty emails. We've talked about doing a deal together.
