  1. My cap is $300 and I feel that although I have paid that, the guys do not particularly give any better and maybe not as good as a guy who charges $250 or even $200. I have often wondered if you do get more for the higher rate. Maybe a better body or bigger dick, but there is more to good get together than that.
  2. Just happen a second time, first was a while ago. Someone sent flowers to the house . Before I knew what happened the flowers were in my hand and the delivery person was back at the car. She didn't even pause, and as unexpected delivery, I did not even have my wallet near by. Also service people do no longer seem to expect a tip, like the A/C guy. One told me when I gave him some money that no one does that any more.
  3. I think the more apt question is have you as a provider raised your rates. As an infrequent client, who does inquire at times, it is hard to get a fix on what various guys are asking and unless your are a repeat customer, what the trend is. Not having the time nor finances to investigate, besides being incredibly good looking or a list of stellar reviews, does $400 get you any better an experience than $250. Back when Daddy was operating, where the rate was known, it did not always seem like the more expensive guys did that much better, or maybe the cheaper guys were just about as good
  4. Went on it today and the listings in y towbn, Las Vegas, were very few. I guess that the escorts actually have to sign on and the have not. The search filters are easier to use and tell you how many excorts there are that fit your wants, but then the did not show up when you hit the search button.
  5. I was in health care, went to peoples home, now retired, was in some aspects more outgoing as I had to make it happen but in others more guarded. But also when hiring, I am not myself, especially when just hooking up with a guy. The dynamics are just different. Money has an amazing effect on how people act toward one another no matter how it is involved.
  6. It is one thing to remove a condom and continue with sexual penetration of any form without your partners permission, but as I naively read it I took it to mean you shot, you're done, you're soft and it's sliding off. You just want to embrace and not have it spill all over the place because you partner is not interested taking it to drip the cum into his mouth. Do you really have to ask then? Are you responsible to prevent it sliding off then also? Reminds me of a case where the guy was using a condom for birth control. The girl "got rid of it" and then used it to get herself pregnant. Guy was on the hook for paternity none the less. Is that illegal in CA also? Or are we still on that one way street?
  7. I believe Bill Gates also does not plan to leave a lot of money to his kids, also the Walmart family. It is not uncommon. While these kids receive top flight educations and lots of perks, they are intangible, they can not spend them. It is known that trust fund kids can have a hard time finding value in themselves. It is not that these kids will be destitute but does anyone need more that a million or two in the bank? It is only after you have to make hard decisions, like a Porsche or two weeks in Cannes, that one gets to appreciate money. What a Camry or Myrtle Beach, these kids unless they blow it, which they can are never down to this level. What can too much money do? Think Paris Hilton! But these kids, inheriting millions or not are well set up to make their way successfully. Self esteem and personal satisfaction in what you do get you happiness, not millions in the bank and maybe Anderson is wise enough to appreciate this.
  8. You need to show a bit more personality in both your pictures and text. I get nothing about you from your ad. Make me want to hire you.
  9. This is a complex topic. I am a retired physical therapist who did home care for 35 years and I have seen it all. There are good facilities and bad ones. I now live in a retirement community and most people are independent and active. However people continue to die around me. It is a fact of life no matter where you as a senior live. Even if you are in your life long home, your friends and church community will die off and the humor among the surviving is gallows. There is a grim acceptance of people getting ill and dying. Unless they were your bestie, you just shrug and carry on. As most people here are not from there, and even if they are their families are scattered. So for most, there is not even a memorial service, much less a funeral. It is held wherever the children are. So as we say, getting old is not for the weak. Staying in your own home depends on how much reliable community support you have. For me that is my car keys. I am able to fully manage my own home, cooking shopping and laundry. But you have two options. Either you eventually need help or you die before you do. If you choose to live long enough, where do you get that help? If you rely on paid help, well they are unreliable and you need a back up. If you can skip a day or two of help well ok, but if you can not, and you do not have children or another who can at least back you up, then you may have no choice but to go into a facility. One of the issues that hit me back when I was a student was that people would prefer to live alone as a shut in than live in a congregate care facility. This woman had to be carried down 4 flights of steps to leave her building and she did very well in the nursing home where she was getting rehab and could have stayed there. So while I will stay in my home as long as it is feasible, I realize that there may be a next step in my housing situation. I moved across the country into this development and looked at it as a new chapter in my life and as an adventure. If the time comes that I need to move on, I will have the same attitude. Fortunately I will have the financial resources to both keep me in this home as long as feasible and then move into a nicer facility. But life is a series of stages and to think that you have control is to fool yourself. You continue to have to go where life takes you, even if that was the continuation of your first job out of school or around the world. The only way to really survive is to look forward to new experiences and people. If you are mad and resentful you will just make yourself miserable.
  10. I just remember the polio epidemic and was a participant in the big double blind study to establish effectiveness. There was no anti vax nonsense then. The biggest thing about it was fear especially as the transmission was unknown. I remember not going to public pools as that was thought to be a source of the infection. However while the impact of the victims and their families was dramatic, the overall affect on the population was minimal. Life still went on because there was nothing known to prevent it and it really did not hit that many people. In 1952 the worst year there was half the current population and there were 58,000 cases and 3000 deaths.
  11. Right now maybe generally 30 but up to 45 minutes. It is a 10-15 minute ride out of my suburban area, but I can get to most of the Las Vegas valley including the strip and downtown in that time. There are enough guys in that area that I don't need to to to the few on the far edges. When I lived on Long Island, I would usually make appointments with guys in Manhattan as part of trip there, not a specific hour long or more trip. If I was working in Queens, sometimes I could grab a few hours to get into Manhattan from there. There were no RM closer to home but there was no need to go out of mid town.
  12. I have some problems and I was prescribed Tamsulosin. However I have had a life long problem with occasional dizziness on standing rapidly and it made it worse. Dizziness/lightheadedness is a side effect. I don't think I took more that 2 or 3 pills and stopped. My problem is usually able to be managed without medications.
  13. Yes I was and have fond memories. We bonded together quite well and looked out for each other. We were very average guys, no big jocks or BMOCS or the most popular with the girls. I had not really come to terms with my sexuality at the time, had a fascination of sex with men but only one H S experience. My school a "technology institute " was at least 90% male, science and engineering was not a big thing with women in those days, and the school was about 50% "Greek". (A funny aside, a woman who I knew later on is of Greek heritage. A bit naïve about college life, when she got there she heard about "the Greeks" this and that and was surprised that there were so many of Greek descent like here there until she realized what was going on) Women in the surrounding schools would generally not date "independents" because they were thought to be and generally were geeks, nerds and socially deficient. Actually they were brilliant but socially awkward and many today would be considered "on the spectrum". I don't even know if the public was aware of the term Autism then. The school social scene totally resolved around the fraternities and membership was kind of necessary for a social life. I am only in contact with 2 of the 14 guys in my class. Of the 14, at least 3 of us are bi or gay.
  14. Classic Turkish bath, also through out the Mediterranean area. Big beefy guys in swim suits lather you up scrub you down, and generally pummel you into relaxation while you are wearing a towel sort of. All very straight. When I was just a newbie in NYC and looking for a bathhouse, my first venture was into a Russian version of one of these in the east Village. Not knowing what to expect in a bathhouse, I was very circumspect in my behavior and fortunately did not commit and faux pas. I did not make that mistake the second time.
  15. The Olympians, particularly the runners but also some of the swimmers who are wearing unitards, are putting on quite a show. The thin fabric and apparently no jock is providing the world with an anatomy lesson, to my delight. It is fascinating to watch the runners with their junk bouncing around as they put it all out there in their race. I guess they are all right with mama comparing them to dad, and dad seeing what he gave you. My question is what is with these guys, the majority I would believe are straight. Is it a thing with runners to proclaim their endowment? I have seen ballet dancers with more modesty. I have to assume they know that they are leaving nothing to the imagination. The divers in their smallest of speedos do not show nearly as much, but then again when you balls hit cold water from 33 feet it is not an environment conducive for showing off. Any competitive runners out there>?
  16. Checked Raiden out and he now admits to being 27, but he does look like low 30s. Good looking guy but limited pictures.

    used leather

    I went to look at secondskin.co ( not .com) and they require you know a current member to join. They want to keep the site safe from the wrong people.
  18. Blackmail does not necessarily end with the first payment. You do need to contact the authorities. You might want to warn the people on the list that someone is blackmailing you about some pictures and they might not want to open suspect emails as it might be TMI for them. They might not want to try to unsee something. Not everyone want to see you naked. The worst that might happen is that you will have to endure comments from them: How could you be so stupid to do that!

    used leather

    If a guy no longer has use for his leather, is there a place that he can sell it? I mean like someone/place who deals with this stuff specifically, not just a random listing on craigslist. Just curious, nothing to sell or want to buy now
  20. Everybody wants the perfect and disses the good. Traffic congestion is a problem, so where do you put any form of mass transit. There is no room by in large for surface. I live in Vegas and the monorail is a visual blight, just because it is behind the hotels in their service area keeps it out of the view of most, but it is therefore by in large useless except for convention travel. The Casinos KO'ed it down the middle of the Strip where it might have actually worked. So underground is the remaining option. It does remain to be seen how viable the Musk system really is but he does seem to have overcome the biggest obstacle to it which is the prohibitive cost of tunneling. In Vegas, Musk is digging the tubes but if a hotel wants a station, they have to pay for it. So we will see. Also in Vegas his plan is for point to point travel, direct from one place to the other, not a rail type system of all the stops in-route. But if you are a tourist, do you want to spend an hour at 10AM sitting in traffic while all the good parking spots are being taken?
  21. First ventral is the term for front, as opposed to dorsal for back. I had two a few years age, the first was laparoscopic and the second a year or so later was open due to the scaring from the first he couldn't do the laparoscopic. Had some pain. He prescribed about a week of Tylenol with codeine. did not even need it. Don't think I even finished the first bottle after the second but he gave me some more, still have it years later but I think the Tylenol expired so it really should get tossed one day. Rapid recovery although lately get occasional pinching feeling at the mesh site. I often get pulled by TSA for stuff in my pelvic area, thought just the pants bunching, never thought it could be the mesh. Will look more closely next time. But the pat down is kind of fun, only in that the guy is so overly polite and formal nd so awkward about it and I really could not care, just hurry up and let me go.
  22. I sort of went to one in NYC without really realizing it many many years ago. Answered an ad in the back of one of the gay mags to meet a guy, called to make an appointment. It was operating out of a hotel, they had several rooms or a suite. I met a guy who offered me a guy who was not the one in the ad. Turns out it was an operation that was a straight brothel but they did have a number of guys for hire but apparently a limited selection at any one time. The guy was there all day to turn all the tricks came through the door.
  23. I'm vaccinated and only vaxed providers for me. There is enough shit that can be transmitted already and the more I can control ,the better
  24. What you say want is pretty vanilla in terms of activities You have not even talked about who(m?) is actually doing what to who. So if you want to talk, when you meet him just say that is what you want to do. " Hi, lets sit and talk for a while." Then while chatting if you feel you want him undressed, then undress him. If you want him to undress himself tell him to take his shirt off. Same about your getting undressed. But if you want undressing tell him to be dressed. That way he won't open the door in a jock. Don't try to tell him too much before because you will never talk just how much you tell him to nor will he just take his shirt off just when you want him to. Same goes for any other activity. He will never do what you want when you want it without direction, could only be a hand on the back of the head, but you will need to guide the activities. You could describe the general tone of the get together. Like I want to talk and cuddle a lot. If you were interested you could say I want a lot of hot and heavy action and I want to..... and/or be...... but probably need not go into more detail than that. Then again if you do not say too much it will be easier to switch to plan B if on meeting you get different ideas as to what you want. What I got from a question I asked about being a piece of meat, the guys not only feel that is part of the job but I feel that part of it is that in some aspect that is what they want from you. Everyone has an ego and they also want to feel desired and that they turn you on, that is why you chose them. Good luck on your adventure.
  25. Also not a provider, but I think you as the client get to choose what you want to do. Do what will give you comfort and closure or what ever else you want to call it. If you feel you owe him an explanation that is what matters. If you do not think you owe him that then don't. No matter what you do you have a 50% chance of being correct. How will you feel if you let him know and he does not respond. If you think you will be pissed, then do not contact him because that can happen.
