But, take comfort in being a "staff member!"

California Governor Gavin Newsom today said that the high increases in new cases of COVID make it more imperative that people over 65 with an underlying condition stay at home. He did not offer to get my groceries.

I was approached to become an escort in a large expat community in Southern Spain by the owner of the small apartment where I was living in 1973. Not interested because his motivation was partly my staying there much longer than I wanted. I had more than enough of the twice weekly bull fights.
 
And I didn't need the money.

When I was 17 (few decades ago...) and living in Milan, Italy, very cute and shy (and a gay virgin), being a young opera lover I once saw a small music store basically dedicated to classical music and opera. I went in to buy an opera in LPs (LPs...!!) and there was the owner, a man in his late 40s/early 50s. He was very friendly and taken by my unusual passion for my age. Married with kids. I spent a good hour there, he started to tell me stories about past famous singers, all the famous old productions at La Scala which he saw, he would put records on for me to listen to. At the end he actually gave me a record for free (...) and told me to go back anytime to chat. (...).
I knew I was gay and I never told anybody, but I wasn't at all attracted to him. I felt something wasn't exactly "friendly behavior", but I was genuinely interested in his opera knowledge.
After 2/3 times I visited him, he told me I was very cute, he asked me if I ever had sex with a man, I said no, he smiled and he closed the door of his store. He took me to the back room and I lost my virginity there. I really didn't enjoy it particularly, but hey, what did I know? Before I left he gave me 10,000 liras (about 12$ of that time) because he wanted me to "enjoy some fun with friends".
I left a bit in shock for the loss of my virginity and for my extra 10,000 Liras I had in my wallet (I think my parents gave me around that amount for a month as a "salary" for my pocket money).
I went back I would say once a week during a couple of months to listen to records, to fuck in the back room and to get my 10,000 liras (once he gave 20,000 actually!), until I realized I really didn't like to have sex with him and I also felt it wasn't a "kosher" thing to do (also because I was totally in the closet, we are talking about the late 70s in Italy...), so after the last fuck I told him I didn't want to do it anymore, I proudly told him I didn't want money that time, and that it was better for me not to see him anymore.
So yes, I "escorted" in my teens! ?
 
6/7 years later (I already had totally come out of the closet, started to really enjoy sex and I even had a boyfriend) one day I was passing by his store and I decided to go inside. He greeted me, looked happy to see me, he told me I had become very handsome but he understood there was no chance anymore with me, so we chatted about music and life for a bit and I left.
I left Italy 32 years ago, but I went back to see my family at least once every year since.
 
About 10 years ago one evening I went to La Scala in Milan to see an opera, and in between acts while I was making time in the foyer I saw this older gentleman together with a guy in his early 20s. Of course I recognized the older man, so I approached him and told him my name, that I used to be an old client (...) of his store and that I really enjoyed our chats about music back then. He told me he wasn't really sure he remembered me, but anyway he introduced me to his "grandson", and after 3 minutes of chit chat I said bye and left.
 
I am curious to know how many Euros was he giving to his "grandson". ?

This morning it has been announced that at least four of the pro tennis players in that Adria Tournament that I have referenced in previous posts in this thread have tested positive, including world #1 Novak Djokovic and his wife. They not only played the tournament with crowded stands of spectators and no CoVid restrictions at all on court, they also socialized in public in Belgrade and Zadar. It makes the very strict conditions that the USTA is demanding that players and their entourages adhere to at the US Open in NYC look more reasonable.
 
Croatia depends on tourism for almost a quarter of its economy, and they thought that holding the tournament in Zadar, a beautiful seacoast city, and televising it, showcasing the lack of CoVid restrictions, would encourage foreign tourists to return this summer. Bad idea.

What an unfortunate name for a sex worker site.

For those who don't do subtle well, "disk images" are very different from the pictures generally described as images.
 
DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES SHARE DISK IMAGES ANYWHERE.

Most of us have felt some regret having posted something. There is deletion available for that. But when someone else asks you to delete, I would consider the source as we respect some people more than others. If it was an administrator, I would take the request more seriously.

Finished Season 2. The 7 episodes went fast. I agree that the addition of Bette Midler made a big difference but I also enjoyed the roles played by Judith Light & her secretary.
 
If there is a Season 3, the show might be moving from NY to DC.
 
Does anyone want to play “rock, scissors, paper”?

I do not visit cemeteries and also do not plan to be in one.

Great news: The Politician returns for Season 2 on June 19
 
If it’s as good as Season 1, we can expect oodles of wit and glossy fun about Politics.

I binge watched it.
To me it is written for teens and 20's.
 
Victor is a sweet Latino dude. He has a nutty neighbor that's pretty good.

Just finished The Absolution by Yrsa Sigurðardóttir. It's pretty good.

No offense, but have any of you been to Brazil? Jacob would rate well there, but you'd find better.

It's about an Asian dictator who falls in love with an ignorant foreigner, writes him love letters, but ultimately decides to follow his dream of becoming a rocket scientist.

Congratulations Victor! And well wishes on your new season of life. It's a privilege to meet and know you. I appreciate your encouraging spirit. Keep spreading your positive attitude. Our world needs more of you!

In July it is rare to need a sweater at night. For me, the t-shirt itself is enough. But I keep a long sleeve shirt handy.

The term boy is a little unnerving.
 
They're guys. Men. Gents. Bros. Dudes. Hombres.
 
Boy used here strikes me in the same way I feel about the word moist

I've met a few people from this and the boytoy.com website. Probably one hundred men over the years.
It all started with the Gaiety in New York. Stella's soon became part of the evening. And, of course, the 20 Club which rose after the first two closed.
And then there was Palm Springs, where someone started a weekend type thing. I went to that a few times early on.

InnDulge has a good reputation. During the quarantine, the Hacienda Inn, which is very nice also, kept all of its employees on the payroll. I'd support a place like that.
The sex venues have day passes, so you can stay at a nice place at night and still go to them. Not that I ever have.
