People are allowed their opinion. Under no circumstances should anyone be silenced for having a difference of opinion. Both sides are quite confident they are right....so who gets to decide what's removed? People have different perspectives and quite honestly Jarrod, this conversation is most frequently against YOUR side. So I am speaking in your defense. Even though I disagree with most of your viewpoints on the subject. I will always defend your right to share it. Were this to be "moderated" based on majority opinion, YOU would be the one silenced.

It's sad after so many years of bigotry to start calling gay people "strange" or "weird' now that we've demonstrated its perfectly normal. If you want to call a hairy dude in a pair of heels and a frock, queer...then I could get on board. That's always gonna be weird. But there are plenty of gay and bisexual peope who lead perfectly normal lives. So why refer to them under an umbrella of weirdness ?

The photo request is a red flag. Regardless of the deposit issue you were right to disengage when he asked for a photo. He shouldn’t need a photo. I don't agree at all. Too many of you feel that an escort should be able to perform now matter how hideously grotesque the customer may be. That's just a ridiculous expectation. Most aren't looking for a hot date but they do have a right to reject the most repulsive or refuse certain types of sexual favors to men who are so ridiculously out-of-shape they can't find their ass or dick.

Although masseurs make less than escorts, I don't think the profession is a "waste of time". I don't make $400 an hour myself...but then I'm also not cut-out to be taking it up the ass daily for a bunch or old-fat men. Fucking multiple strangers for cash is not for everyone. Massage requires some exertion but a hand-job happy ending doesn't and also doesn't require you getting it up for a bunch of men you don't find attractive. You can easily have three or four massage clients a day...but can you cum four times a day with some old-fat dude who you're not attracted to ? Seems to me that massage is the easier choice of profession, not escorting.

Nobody ever says "they had it coming about rape. But plenty of people don't define Monday morning regrets as "rape".

Exactly. I have ZERO interest in kissing a hire. It would literally be a turn-off.

Although I didn't always agree with @unicorn I am saddened to hear he was feeling unwelcome. Some people have a tough time dealing with opposing viewpoints and prefer the safety of an echo chamber. I understand that's why several members moved their profiles over to the "the other site". I will miss @unicorns professional medical viewpoint/contributions to the site 😥

Correct. But who suggested they didn't? The presumption about Canada's public health system is that you simply need to wait for extended periods for surgical procedures and you don't have access to the best. Not that you can't pay for it once you get it. I assume all those who cross the border for premium care, do so with a fat wallet in their pocket.

You're mixing up topics. MY sexual tastes are different than yours. Absolutely. So "disagree" away, about that. But the fact-of-the-matter remains that "kissing" is not part & parcel of every sexual encounter with a provider. YOU may prefer it. But it's NOT guaranteed to be on the menu. This is like going to a five star restaurant and complaining there's no salt and pepper shakers on the table simply because you're accustomed to eating at the diner.

Likely true. But my comment is about the direction of the country as a whole, not just about health care. The rush to absorb refugees is overtaxing an already struggling system of public entitlement programs. Public Health-care is a part of that. They have a bit of old-school family dynasty connections to local government and their concern is in reaction to whispers from within the system, not the news media's version of "offical" truth.

Exactly. CHOICE is not rape. "Coercion" is still choice. Nobody had a gun to their head and there are very few allegations of drugging anyone.

Then I don't know why you brought it up. They obviously aren't. I am talking about young men knowing what they are getting into and making a decision about going forward or not. Blackmailing someone or drunk/drug raping someone are different topics. The A&F issue is primarily Monday morning regret, not rape.

I have to disagree. Being someone with a wide range of sexual interests and also a person who is NOT looking for anything resembling romance in a hire...I can very confidently report that "kissing" is NOT some sort of goes-with-the-territory component of every sex workers repertoire. If a pro advertised "BFE"and then told you "I don't kiss"...then yeah. That's false advertising. But a satisfying sexual encounter can most definitely exclude kissing. As a matter of fact I RARELY have EVER desired to KISS a provider. Totally NOT my thing with a hire.

My friends in Canada have money. While most Canadians do not. So yes...it's a viewpoint from a particular segment of society that your friends may not share.

Allegations aren't the same as facts. You jump to assume that this actually happened.

Personally I am very much disgusted with this me-too garbage, being applied to every bit of "next morning regret". You willingly put yourself in the position to exchange sexual favors for career opportunity and cash, you have NOT been "raped". You may regret your decision years later but this was YOUR DECISION.

We all have people who we desire and some who we have a chance to meet. But this kind of obsession is unhealthy when that object of desire makes it clear they are not interested and you can't let go of the fact your opportunity has passed. Mourn the loss and move on with your life before the disappointment consumes more of your time than it's worth.

You are definitely insane if you're not reading his silence at this point and continuing to contact him. Let it go.

Throughout the world you will find that for most "str8" guys....KISSING is the line in the sand that makes you "gay".

Another example of why your mother always told you to CHEW your food.

If people cluster into groups then the group gets tagged. If you maintain your individuality, you're simply called by your name. The choice is yours.

New York's subway is pay-one-price. It's not priced by district and distance the way many systems are in Europe. Just use your phone pay app on entry and you can travel anywhere on the system with that payment. There are various free transfers from bus to subway or subway to bus, as well.

Absolutely. I advise all my younger friends and family to avoid the labels. You be you.

Marsden already has cute kids.

Since when is the n-word "endearing" ??? It is used as a way of "climbing on top" of someone. It may be done between friends and in a joking manner..but it's still a challenge, not a compliment.
