As usual I do not understand the point of posting yet another negative diatribe about what cannot be done or accomplished in your situation as a gay man. You are an adult, so either do something about your problems or shut up.

Perhaps he has blocked a spectrum of “types” and your profile has fallen within that range. Have you tried contacting him in another fashion?

Indeed it is unfortunate that drugstores cannot sell you a spine.

I guess this is you being “happy” again.

My thoughts are that the kettle is on to boil, even as we speak.

That's good, since he quite clearly stated he has no intention of being hired by you.

Your negativity belongs to you and you alone.

I have asked many escorts to please count their fee to make sure it is accurate. I would look at this as a way to establish trust and to feel relieved that both sides were taken care of, rather than insulted.

But you have left. Repeatedly.

If I am not mistaken, you retired from the Forum because of all the negativity. Perhaps you should take another, longer break.

I could not disagree more. A counselor who enables you to stay in an emotional and sexual dead zone because of "complications" and "history" and the convenience of being able to hire to scratch your occasional itch is not a particularly effective counselor. I would have fired my counselor immediately had he or she suggested I stay married because I could hire an escort every so often. The mere fact of history is no reason whatsoever to stay in an unhappy marriage, gay or straight. You should reconsider the advice AND the source.

I agree with Steven. I have been able to maintain friendships of varying degrees with a number of escorts. Other than a few minor snafus with scheduling or lack of chemistry, I have not had anything close to the number of problems some of the more prolific posters have experienced in the past and still seem to today.

It all ended when Baron was expected to buy his escort dinner once.
