Agreed. "Purity" in language would be that which is closest to it's origins. But few languages haven't changed over the millennium. The broad range of German dialects is a good example. Most educated people in Germany know "Standard" German but that's not necessarily what's spoken at home. Same way lots of people may know how to understand "proper" Spanish, but don't generally use it. For most languages there is however what's called a "NEWS STANDARD" which is the dialect and accent in which the national news is reported. When you neutralize Spanish ( which is how Telemundo tends to be) you end up sounding like a Mexican News Reporter. Wealthy Upper Class Mexicans tend to adopt the style of speaking, and consider anyone who only speaks with a strong regional accent, to be low class. ( Mexico has a very stratified society with a lot of focus on identifying your economic class ).

Same for me. I lived in LA for a year when I was 20. I must have fucked half of Hollywood at one of those bathhouses. Lots of actors on-the-DL. Some quite famous now. I remember one night, there was an incredibly hot crowd. I was there for at least six hours and came so many times I lost track.

He's a bit older and beefier in "Who's the Boss". I preferred him, young, fresh and tight. His character in "Taxi" always wore tight jeans in a t-shirt so we could admire all those yummy curves from his boxing years. His ass always looked amazing in those jeans. But then, I've always had a thing for Italian boys with a nice ass.

That's an interesting choice. Nearly all of my Spanish speaking friends always joke that they can't understand Puerto Ricans because their accent is so strong and they "swallow" so many syllables, that it becomes unintelligible to anyone unfamiliar with that island accent.

Taormina was my favorite destination in Sicily. So charming. I was marveling at the fact that the shops and restaurants didn't seem to include one single international chain. So unusual to find a tourist destination these days without an infestation of Corporate branding.

It's the excess skin from formerly being obese. They would have to cut it out. You can get rid of the fat below but the skin doesn't reduce in size on it's own.

I concur . Too general a question for a single answer. A lot depends on the base price.

That flabby belly would indicate he's more of a former fatty than a fitness model.

You posted a question on a forum. I am not "arguing" I am answering your question about how a transactional relationship can be and sometimes IS more than just the transaction. If you don't want to hear people's opinions then why did you ask ? Perhaps you should change your heading to a statement of opinion instead of a question since you're not interested in anything but making your own point heard.

Yup. I don't know who does these German translations but they destroy the "poetic" essence of the phrase and turn it into the most generic words possible. "My heart is broken at the loss of your love" will be translated as "I'm sad to see you go".

All relationships involve someone GETTING something and the other person GIVING something and vice-versa. That's the definition of a human relationship. If someone has their rent paid, and other person is offering sex, the person giving sex is getting security and the person giving rent money is getting satisfaction. If this is an ongoing thing, where the two parties are reliant on one another to take care of their end of the deal and this not a once in a while transaction, it's a kind of relationship, not just a transaction. Honest.

I keep my German speaking skills fresh by watching German show too. It's somewhat frustrating when you're more fluent because you see all the mistakes they make in the closed caption translations !

When I was a kid my dad used to take us for long car rides, exploring the mountain roads of Pennsylvania on the weekend. You'd occasionally pass by a little shack along the deep-forest roads in the middle of nowhere with families hanging out on the front porch who all pretty-much looked like this. Was always fun and spooky to witness as a kid. My brother and I would have nightmares thinking that one of them followed us home. They always gave you a dirty look, as if to say what are you doing driving on MY road ? I'm sure they would see few outsiders on those back ( unpaved ) roads.

Is it ? or is the exchange just a little more obvious when its financial ?

You are assuming that everyone who likes to be taken care of is a prostitute. There are many people who never adjust to the responsibilities of being an adult, who seek out older partners to take care of the rent in exchange for sex. Some will be leeches but there are people who genuinely LIKE their sugar daddy ( or mommy ). To insist this is always purely transactional is rather pessimistic.

"Immersion" being the key word. You'd be more immersed in Spanish speaking if you were downtown in LA, than Barcelona.

Yes, I do miss the politics forum. BUT my comment was more sociological ( which politicians tend to use as a political tool ) but not truly political. I was a little shocked that anyone feels comfortable these days to declare that the country full of white people are far better looking than the country full of indigenous people. Not even discussing whether there's a truth in the matter. More curious how this is socially acceptable, in today's woke society trends. Back to the topic...I agree that Columbians tend to speak Spanish in a clear and easy to understand version that suits a Latin American take on the language. Castillian always sounds grandiose and pretensious in comparison.

Subjective and pretty racist, considering Columbians tend to look more White/ European in their heritage, while Mexicans often look more obviously mixed with indigenous peoples.

Well, then considering they speak Catalan in Barcelona, you'd not likely be learning the Castilian accent.

I remember Brent. Hooked up with him several times. I wonder if Zac is kinky enough to handle the role ? 🤔 He was into some extreme stuff.

Yes. That has always been my understanding of the term. Basically turned on by dirty/naughty/uninhibited sexual fetishes.

I don't follow a lot of Instagram hotties, but this young man was so interesting with his looks and talent, I wanted to keep track of his career.

Tony Danza on reruns of Taxi.

Well, that is true. But it has nothing to do with prostitution. There isn't a speedometer for fucking for money. So your only Achilles heel will be documenting the transaction through written conversation that can be sourced.
