Very sad. At it's peak in the 1970s Kodak employed 120,000 people. Seems rather embarrassing that such a massively successful company couldn't figure out a way to adjust to the digital age. As an example, tobacco company - RJ Reynolds bought Nabisco when cigarette sales started to plummet in the United States. Eastman Kodak appears to have just sat there and watch it's fortunes dwindle.

I got a lot of action there when I was a muscular athlete with a ripped six pak. Not sure anyone, who I would wan,t will be in the market for a greying 50-something dad-bod.

"I believe the best touch comes from intuition, presence, and a little magic. Think soft skin, calming music, and hands that know exactly where to go." Personally, I believe that the "best touch" comes from TRAINING, and then a bit of intuition. Clearly this fellow is just gonna glide his hands over your body and hopefully play with your dick.

I didn't realize the ramble was still a popular hook up spot. I used to get a lot of action there when I was in my late 20s. The risk is always the boys from Harlem who lurk in the darkness with knives, waiting until you have your pants around your ankles and threaten to cut off your dick if you don't hand over your wallet.

Absolutely agree.

I grew up there. It's not even "unseen"....we all see it. There is an expectation of "group-think" where you MUST do as others do. If you don't, you are to be hated for not participating. THIS is why I am so sensitive to "group-think" when I see gay men playing that same evil game. Group-think whether left of right thinking is suffocating.

Based on my travels - this map makes sense. Although I am confident in my guess that much of the negative feelings toward homosexuality in States like Pennsylvania and Florida is coming from regions that you wouldn't be caught dead in, anyway....😆

There are TWO approaches to that question. For ME...I DO genuinely like a good massage so YES, I will see if someone has a massage profile AND an escort profile. Providers on Rent.men also will offer erotic massage services, but you're never sure if that's just a type of foreplay to their sexual services. If you don't really care about the quality of the massage then it's a non issue for you. Generally speaking I ask "what style" of massage they do. If they have no idea how to answer that pretty much says it all. 😆If they only do Swedish, then that also tends to be a mediocre session. People who offer therapeutic sessions as well as sexual work, are not the most common, so always happy to find one of those.

What makes you think a provider can't cum more than once a day ? 🤔 Even in my 50's I can still cum more than once a day, and at my peak years I could easily go for 5 or 6 ( with the right company ) 😉 I understand that cumming with a client isn't guaranteed, but I am quite sure that a good escort can manage to unload a few times more than just ONCE a day ! All the Brazilians I've been with have had high libidos and never seemed to run out of steam.

It's not clear in your comments ( thanks for sharing ) how much sexual history you have and with who. The difference to a hire on a first meet is that you haven't had much time to get to know the person. An hour of chatting, with the knowledge of sex being ordered from the menu might seem awkward on your first hire. Overall this man sounds like he was considerate and professional. So you choice seemed well thought out. The issue of preferences for sex after developing trust/intimacy is something I am conscious of in my own hook ups. I have plenty of experience with anonymous sex, group sex etc...but right now in my 50s none of that is as appealing as meeting someone and getting to know them before hitting the sheets. I am also bisexual. I am married and don't have the chance to "date" people. SO what I have found that works, is to hire someone for erotic massage on a first meet. This takes the pressure off the expectations and gives you time to get to know your provider. There have been men who I hired multiple times, learned much about them, developed a friendly professional relationship before any sexual activity was included. Sometimes it was discussed and others it was merely a product of them opening themselves up to a more intimate session, to please me after being a good customer ( tipping well ) and showing them that I value them as a person not just a piece of meat. This takes time to develop such "relationships" and you can't always know where they will come from. But they are out there for you to enjoy. Glad you had a nice first experience. Here's hoping you will continue to find what you want in your provider(s).

Welcome @Tom C. Sinclair

I don't see why that would be considered "irrational". As a matter of fact, I gave this question some thought, and it occurred to me that I don't feel any turn ons or turn offs are irrational. They just are there. We all have our unique take on what we are into and are NOT into.

That tracks, because I can think of one provider who's been "25" for about 25 years. 🤣

Thanks Miss Manners. Some of us are INTERESTED IN OPINIONS about providers. If you think it's rude to discuss someone's looks you're on the wrong website. @Callas and I have similar taste in men, so I am always interested in what he has to say. Perhaps you could just BLOCK him, if an honest assessment of physical attributes is offensive to you.

SO you think a detective is going to give me a massage and jerk me off, waiting to see if I discuss prostitution later ? 🤔

I dont' agree with some of the cavalier opinions above. You never know when the law enforcement climate will change in your area. This is especially true in some parts of the US during election season. So for MY part, I NEVER put too much incriminating information in writing when reaching out to a provider. My standard approach is to book a massage ..see how that goes, and then if I enjoy their company, I may discuss IN PERSON for more and meet up again.

Does he have a new profile online ?

^^ THIS RIGHT HERE ^^

Stop with your sense of moral superiority and we can stay on subject.

I am bi, not gay, not lesbian. I am speaking about a group of people who I am clearly adjacent to, but pointing out I am not speaking as one of them. Once again.. you people look under every rock for something to feel insulted.about. Then you lash-out and put-down.

I would say Bozo was spot-on. The gays are always attacking windmills. Prior to this, in the 1970s and 1980s their missions were better targeted and well meant. Since they have achieved much for those of us in the LGB community who followed, they seem to be lost and looking for a fight. So they look for things to be insulted about and wear their righteous indignation like a badge of honor. The commentary above about Trans and cross dressers was off topic ...true. But it was emblematic of the way gays will go out of their way to feel insulted by someone who doesn't subscribe to their group-think. If I remember correctly, THAT is exactly how "mean girls" behave. They assume they posess the right answers to everything and try to put others in their place to feel better about themselves and their perceived superiority. I repeat: it is not ME who belongs on the mean girl list but those who made it.

Well...no. Thats not what I said. I said that trans people arent necessarily homosexual so they aren't part of the LGB community. There are men who are cross dressers but straight and Trans people who identify as heterosexual because they switched their gender so they wouldn't be considered gay.

Married with kids and running a business. I have very little free time to get a little same-sex-action on the side. THAT is how I started. Now that I am in my 50s, I still have a taste for the hot guys I used to hook up with when I was young...but its less and less likely that some gorgeous 20-something athlete will spread his ass cheeks for me without showing him my wallet. As others have said: getting what I want / when I want.

I'm saying I don't have anything in common with trans people.
