Agree, Kurtis, people are out of their minds on this. He is hot and attractive, not everyone likes him. That happens. The outrage is unhinged. If I were in NYC now rather than last month I know who I'd be calling (except he's in Montreal). (And if I were in Austin, I know who I'd be calling but that's a separate issue.) I don't think keeping the forum closed for the month would have changed anything.

I was tempted to say, 'Hold my beer'.

He's only just signed up for this, so that may not be where he ends up. But if he can get it, more power to him. That said, I've never paid $500 (AUD much less USD) but I have paid north of $1500 for an overnight with no regrets (I have regretted shorter hires). If those actually are his rates, it's an unusual hourly to overnight ratio, but hey, it's his choice.

It is what it is, and means as much and as little as the provider and the client chose to allow it to mean. I have regular contact with providers, not all of whom I have met for a session, that ranges over many issues and happens frequently. I also have contact with others that is specific, either to future meetings or specific matters (like travel to Australia). Just let the contact happen, don't try to force it to meet your expectations, whatever they are.

Excellent!

I second this! Happy birthday, hope you have a great day and great days over the next weeks with your boys.

It's 12 months since Parliament passed the law allowing equal marriage. Re-reading this thread has brought tears again. I don't begrudge other countries that have legalised marriage equality but I'm still proud that we and the Irish had a popular vote that approved it so it wasn't 'unelected judges' or 'elites' who delivered it.

Like so many others I am deeply saddened by Joseph's passing, and like posters above, I am glad to have met him, thanks to a forum function, last year in my case. It is quite appropriate that we are able to remember him here, hope that we can live lives as full as his, and honour him by enjoying the same sweet pleasures that brought him to us. It's a reminder, if one were needed of how much this forum enriches our lives as it enriched his.

If those who were donors to this site are a proxy for those who would pay to join the PWR forum, they were just as represented in the forum as it was as non-donors were. And posters whom I would chose to join for lunch and those I would not were both represented.

You often, nay usually, get that when you read @Kurtis Wolfe's posts here.

Mele Kalikimaka me ka Hauoli Makahiki ho!

@BasketBaller, I'm delighted for you, and look forward to the next instalments when the forum returns in the new year. And as PK suggested, at the lunch in January.

Logan has signature with his name and rent.men profile but there's no hotlink from it (you have to copy and paste the text into your browser).

No, I haven't.

Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder.

*Gasp* And rumour has it no range practice was involved.

I couldn't possibly comment! But I note your previous post above.

Damn, now I'm home I find out about things to see in NYC!

Lol, I'm sure you would. I already have a list!

@easygoingpal two very tempting men!

So, close to San Jose, and one of the attractions there!

https://m4m-forum.org/threads/2019-mid-atlantic-leather-weekend-18-20-january.135504/#post-1632575 Can I suggest anyone who is considering attending the DC lunch in January contact @ArVaGuy before the weekend to exchange contact details. PM me also, if you wish, and I'll pass your details on to him (in case he is not here before Saturday).

Yup, at the risk of going peak nerd, one round trip a week for 50 weeks a year on American at an average fare (net of taxes) of $90 each way would get you to Platinum Pro.

Did you hire him when you were here?

In the middle of last year, a Sydney woman had a DNA test. She received more from it than she had bargained for. At almost the same time, another woman, in Jacksonville, also had a test. Both had been born in London, one in 1947 and the other in 1951, and both had been adopted as babies. What their DNA told them was that they had similar ancestry. In fact, that they were probably half-siblings. The ABC made this great radio documentary about them. https://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/earshot/me,-my-half-sister-and-her-biological-mum/10461548 (Spoiler, it's not a gay story.)
