That's actually rather cheap. Nearly all my art / photography books were $60 to $80 and that was years ago.

Right. Not the same thing.

Maybe you don't understand sexual self-identification. Men who identify as "straight" - date women / marry women and are primarily romantically interested in women. It doesn't preclude any casual sexual activity with men. I've known many straight men who occasionally enjoy a little mano-a-mano...and then go home to their wife. Biologically they are probably more bisexual than straight. But self identification generally focuses on the individial's romantic life more than their sex life.

Maybe your tastes in porn stars aren't as exclusive as others 🤔 Seems like every time I come across a listing by a porn star who excites me enough to splurge, the quote is $800 to $1000. Which just never seems justifiable to me. So I always pass on the opportunity. I'm sure some B-list performers will take less.

The term "pig in a poke" was first used in the Middle Ages.[3] At this time, it was common to sell meat or small animals in cloth bags or sacks called a "poke".[4] Sometimes people simply bought the "poke" without looking inside; and sometimes people who thought they were buying pork or a small pig were surprised to find they had been sold something else. The idiom pig in a poke is about what happens when someone does not look to see what is being bought or sold.[5]

He has a Twitter account ( which I follow) but you can't direct message him there.

Stock photos of different guys.... kinda easy to recognize you're getting a pig-in-poke provider.

Would be nice if they had a therapist who actually did Traditional Thai massage. This seems to be marketed more and more by places that have NO idea how to do Traditional Thai massage !

When you grow up good looking...you know you have your pick of other good looking people. So you start sifting through the best of the best when you're looking to get laid. That means you're rejecting plenty of perfectly attractive men or women and this makes you not even consider the less fortunate as a sexual partner. That's why most beautful people can't escort. They can't get it up for an ugly person.

....."Hello. I would like to pay $200 for you to change your self-grooming habits."

I think the biggest example of clueless MBA executive meddling is JC Penney. As you mentioned with Crabtree...they went after a customer that wouldn't be caught dead in a JC Penney store. Meanwhile alienating a couple million loyal customers. Complete stupidity and they've spent years trying to climb out of that hole.

Porn Stars normally charge twice the going rate. More fantasy / More $$$

For me as the client: I rarely hire escorts as most don't appeal to me. I have a niche interest in the college athlete look. So I am looking for guys who I wouldn't easily guess that they are same-sex-oriented. I am NOT interested in anything remotely romantic. I want pure down-n-dirty sex but I DO find it important that they are turned on too. So I would say that actual attraction to mature men is must.

*Yum*

Taken over by Authentic Brands..and being "reimagined" by their (previous)V.P. of schlock-fast-fashion: Aeropostale. A formula for disaster.

Many long-standing retailers have been brought down by Corporate take-overs that focus on mass marketing and cost cutting that render the business unoriginal and ultimately uninteresting.

Exactly. When Mitchell Gold first went into business their collection was innovative stylish and tasteful. Over the years it went very mass-market and they started churning out more "on-trend" looks. Once Corporate took over, they didn't have a clue about design and merely copied every tacky trend that showed up at the bi-annual High Point Market show and assumed everybody would buy the glitz. Another fine example of how the MBA's can destroy a company quickly when they don't understand anything about it but numbers.

I agree. I always find jewelry on men to be unappealing and signaling a lack of the very "chic" many are trying to portray.

So disgusting. Who would PAY money to fuck a fatty ?

I fail to see "victory" in type-casting. "Out" Gays being cast to perform straight roles is the greater accomplishment with more job opportunities. I personally admire straight men who don't shy away from playing gay. An actor should challenge themselves, not seek roles that are closer to home.

The US can't produce a decent product for a decent price any more. They should have all been allowed to go bankrupt bank in the early 2000's.

I hope he learned his lesson from Kit Connor and tells everyone to piss-off. Actors have a right to privacy, same as everyone else. ( Abeit I will allow the often cited exception for homophoic hypocrites).

Porn is fantasy. I don't fantasize about the fat neighbor. He fantasizes about me.

Even outside the guy-4-hire industry, "sexting" is a nuisance. I have this one guy who hits me up at least once a year for the last 20 years on the hook up sites. Always the same routine ( and the same profie photos) Wants to see my dick and tell him what dirty things I want to do to him. Some people just enjoy jerking off at home with never any intention of meeting.
