Counter argument, they are better for the anticipation!

I read all the forums and will comment on posts in any of them without reference to whether it is the appropriate forum, but I am generally careful to start a thread in the right place. But I know others only play in a few, or even one forum, so I don't begrudge them starting a thread that is off topic for that forum. If it's particularly inappropriate, the admins will move it.

I think we need to be careful not to conflate the need for general diversity with wanting diversity in niche media products. In the mainstream media that purport to present a picture of whichever society they are in (be that the US, Australia or the UK), they have an obligation to reflect that society in all its diversity, not just present a sanitised (and often whitened) version of it. A niche media producer that wants to cater for a specific audience should not be expected to show imagery that is not what that audience wants. That should apply whether the audience wants black, white, male or any other specific type of models. (Should Ebony be required to show Indian models? [i don't know whether it still exists, just an example.]) To be clear, I'm talking about an audience that wants, for example, porn involving Caucasian men, not a Caucasian audience, they are different groups. So, Bel Ami can have whoever it wants in its scenes, but Neighbours should reflect the diversity of Australian society. Not that I watch it. (An aside, I'm watching the Open, and there was just an ad from one of our major banks featuring a wheelchair tennis player.)

The RM ad in question has been around since 6 Nov 14, so it's likely him. When he was last around he spoke of having been a bottom but wanting to limit himself to topping, so if this is him returning that all adds up.

And now we await @VictorPowers' approval of this message.

Thanks @BasketBaller, heart warming as usual. And thank you for removing one of the reasons I had to regret not being able to make it to the DC meeting.

... Or Perth or Adelaide.

The viaduct along the river bank would have been what pointed me in that direction (the rail line between Flinders Street and Southern Cross stations).

@Kurtis Wolfe even more respect for you now. I didn't see the need (or indeed the point) of commenting earlier, it was all about observers' comments on what had, or what appeared to have happened. There are boundaries everywhere, in personal spaces and in performance spaces. They never magically disappear. Consent is a constant.

Happy birthday, Hunter!

Autocorrect, I suspect!

Happy Birthday!!

The NFSA regularly features on ABC local radio in Canberra. It is truly a national treasure. It's worth looking at its web site. I see from the link above that their screening of Starstruck last week cost $5. Five Bucks!! The Archive is a government instrumentality, so it may not go down the commercial path of releasing the film on blue ray or similar media. Perhaps it should. For those of you thinking of visiting Canberra, it is one of a number of 'national institutions' that are seriously impressive and open to the public. The National Gallery of Australia, the National Portrait Gallery, the National Library, the National Museum of Australia, the Australian War Memorial and MAD (the Museum of Australian Democracy in the old Parliament House).

Perhaps some who take note of preferences for carbonated beverages?

Now there's something to look forward to!

Hey guys, have a great weekend of meetings and umm, 'meetings' in Washington. Sorry I couldn't be there.

As I see it there is no right or wrong answer. Communicate with your man. If you want a continuous attentive relationship with him on the cruise, tell him. Likewise if you only want him in your bed each night. You can negotiate as much or as little freedom for your escort as you wish. I note @Benjamin_Nicholas' comment and that may be the way to go, but it's not the only way.

To ensure that @Tarte Gogo sees you post...

It's a web-based phone application that can be used for voice (and video) calls and text messages. It uses the data allowance on your phone (or Wi-Fi if it's available) rather than the calls allowance on your mobile phone plan. (I use it to talk to a few guys in the US, and when I'm using my home internet it's effectively free. An hour and a quarter voice call used about 20Mb of data.)

How did you possibly find out about this guy?

As one of those who see the new day start ahead of the US, allow me. Happy Birthday, Fresh Fluff!! May the day bring you everything you wish for yourself!

I didn't realise that 45 escorted. Not my thing, anyway.

That's entirely up to you. On your dashboard there is a toggle switch for 'Profile Visibility'. It shows up as either a green tick (sorry, check mark) [your visits will show up on their profile] or a red cross [your visit will go unnoticed].
