Link to his ad in the OP is corrupted, at least for me, so here it is again. https://rent.men/IAmMagicWayne

It's reading as in 'I only read Penthouse for the stories'.

A reminder to avoid politics.

No warnings for now, but a reminder that there are two elements to this thread, Cade Maddox and Playgirl magazine. Discussions of either of those are relevant to the thread, other male celebrities and their media (or other) escapades are not.

Yeah, but you can't order the foie gras from the menu of his Michelin Starred resturant from his sushi truck.

Perhaps strange if you base that simply on him being the same man running both ads, but it's totally understandable if his aim is to keep a firewall between the two types of service. In that way he establishes firm boundaries between his massage and escort services. He's said in effect, 'This is what I offer in my massage services', and that anything he might do in any other professional capacity, or that he might do in his private life is off the table completely (pun intended). It prevents any 'give an inch, take a mile' dynamic that a client might want to pull off. Whether any of us agree that his division between what he does and what he does not do is reasonable, is immaterial, he gets to decide.

For anyone wondering (those in certain jurisdictions, including the province of Alberta, the relevant jurisdiction in this case, would probably know), the 'R v' part is the abbreviation for (in this case) 'Regina versus', as criminal prosecutions in Canada and the other Commonwealth Realms are conducted in the name of the Crown, the Queen at that time. (A prosecution today would be 'Rex v'.)

Ah, incomplete sentences! Did he mean 'I have/had swum ...' or 'I swam ...', he should have been consistent and said 'I have/had run ...' or 'I ran ...', although he implies he swam repeatedly ('since age 5'), and doesn't make clear whether running was a habit or a one-off. When it came to editing, he flipped his narrative style and said he 'was an editor of ...' rather than he 'edited ...' If he'd said he was a swimmer and a runner [since age five] he could have avoided all that messy confusion over past tense and past participles! However, I suspect having his ad parsed was not on his bingo card when he wrote it.

This forum is a gold mine for unexpected new snippets of information.

I'm sure @Jamie21 will welcome some serious academic and procedural analysis of the efficacy of the points system used in this client assessment tool. Anything that would refine the methodology and add to the system's accuracy would no doubt add to its value to escorts and the fairness if offers their clients.

Same. Not recent encounters, of course.

Well, now I understand how these things work, much appreciated @Jamie21!

I hope you can make it.

I assumed so.

Any discussion about marital property/community property most likely depends on whether assets were held personally or in trusts or companies. Trusts and companies are separate legal entities, not necessarily property brought into a marriage. Trustees have a fiduciary duty to the trust, not to any beneficiaries. They may be completely immune to consideration in divorce proceedings, or at least easily demonstrated not to have been co-mingled with marital assets. His high-priced lawyers would have no doubt considered how fire-proof those arrangements were when advising him on the need for a prenup.

I have no required prescription medication, but in future I intend always to pack my PrEP in my carry-on. Some things can, in their absence, significantly affect a trip abroad.

He may well be able to restrain you, without the need for an order. I would welcome such an attempt.

Probably not a good idea, rudeness seems to have become the standard in this thread, and it serves nobody well. There is a serious topic here, and it deserves calm and restrained comments from all sides. Replying to rudeness with more rudeness inflames rather than calms, and calm is what's needed. Rudeness can be called out without resorting to more rudeness to do so. If a level of restraint can't be maintained, the thread ceases to serve any purpose.

That's something reasonable to ask, and others may be interested in previous accounts of meetings with him. The two purposes can coexist in this thread.

Welcome to our forum, @TxDaddyBear. Responses of the type made about you are, regrettably, inevitable in a forum such as this. Most here are able to accept that others have different desires and preferences and are able to respect that. I'm sure your experiences here will improve, even though there may be some lapses.

I've seen RM ads for visitors to Palm Spring, but not in our Visiting Providers forum. That seems to follow a pattern that's been apparent for some time, escorts are not using it. The Deli is the best place to discuss who might or might not be in town this weekend, the Providers forum is for them to announce their visits, not for us to discuss whether they might.

This has elements both of the ups and the downs of air travel, physical and emotional. I arrived in San Francisco on Sunday evening, but my checked bag did not. I had last seen it at the Virgin Australia check-in desk in Canberra, also on Sunday, but 36 hours earlier. The signs had been there. Virgin is not a usual partner with Cathay Pacific, there had been minor glitches at check-in and again getting Cathay boarding passes in Brisbane, bits of information had disappeared from the airline's record, minor and easily resolved but annoying. The first sign that something significant had actually happened, a sign both good and bad, was that Cathay paged me at baggage claim with the paperwork already started. My bag wasn't there, but they already knew and were ahead of the game. I signed the forms, gave them my contact details and went to my hotel (complementary toiletries there, and the loan of a plug adaptor, thank you). By early Monday afternoon I had Cathay's reply to my e-mail, telling me that Virgin was shipping my bag direct to San Francisco on a United flight (UA97) from Brisbane (confirming to me that it was Virgin that had dropped the ball). It arrived on Tuesday morning. All good? Not quite! By the time my bag had completed it's arrival formalities, it arrived at Cathay just in time for them to call me as I was about to board my flight to Palm Springs. Simples, it turns out. They said they'd FedEx it to Inndulge overnight. FedEx promised morning delivery, that didn't happen, but the bag duly arrived and we're having an emotional reunion. Lost or delayed luggage is not pleasant and it is, at the very least, inconvenient, and I chose to buy some resort-compatible (and 35°C compatible) clothes to fill the gap. What I've taken from it is that some airlines can deal with it professionally and expeditiously, Cathay Pacific now confirmed to me as being one of them. I don't know how common this is, but I'm batting 1000 on professionally handled baggage issues (only a sample of two, the other being Qantas, that one caused by an AA connection). I count the whole experience as 'glass half-full'.

The dire predictions have moderated somewhat, high teens no longer (aka low 60s), now into the 20s (70ish) on Sunday. Not ideal pool weather, but overcoats no longer needed (unless you like that sort of thing). Perhaps the predictions will improve further!

Should be easy enough on the LIRR with that time.

This, and also perhaps an urge to play the agent provocateur.
