I listen regularly during exercise. At the gym, which we may not see for awhile, I use earbuds. At home, in my basement mini-gym, I listen through a bluetooth speaker. In fact, it's the reason I haven't put a TV in.

Youngboldone: You're not rambling...you're expressing the sentiment of many us.

I think Steve yabsley makes the point about our reticence to hire, the 14 day incubation period. If we hire someone aren't we at risk that anyone he came in contact with in the previous 14 days puts us at risk?

While stuck at home during this pandemic, many members are undoubtedly taking matters into their own hands. That's easy enough. What about solo bottoming? Do you clean out before using toys? I have some dildos but I usually use them after a douche to get ready for an encounter with a top. If I try using them now in lieu of a real companion, should I clean out? What do other members do? While there is no other party to object I certainly don't want to make a mess.

When I saw "TV" in the thread I did not think it would be about television

Can't wait!

I consider myself blessed to have a full head of hair at my age. I confess to being a bit vain about it and have rationalized my expensive hairstylist. Now I am starting to look like I did in my High School and college yearbook photos.

I like DiGiorno's thin crust a lot. I think it's better than many of our popular local brands. The toilet paper and some shortages are artificial in the sense that there is no supply chain shortage. It's the result of panic buying or hoarding. The flour shortage is real. People are baking at home like never before. Bread is a tough thing to bake. More people than ever are trying because they have the time. That's why yeast is also hard to find. My local market never seems to have 5 pound bags but often has 2 pounds. I know from picking things up for elderly neighbors. This will have to go on a lot longer before I attempt baking bread.

Thanks all. I will pursue.

I am sure that I used to watch Graham Norton's show on occasion. I have Netflix, Prime and HBO. All I'm finding are a gameshow on Prime and and some clips on YouTube. If I'm missing something I would grateful for any help or suggestions. Thanks

Since it gave her strength through multiple crises my role mode remains Rosalind Russell in Auntie Mame.

There is a big risk that I might prefer cooking and cleaning to sex

I've heard from 2 regular providers recently. One texted me that he was "only seeing guys who work from home at his place." Apparently he thought his version of risk reduction might entice me to come over. No thanks! Another sent a "how are you doing?" type message clearly stating he was shut down for the foreseeable future. He asked if my housemate and I were having sex yet followed by emojis and a follow up text, "Blizzard Rules apply!" I hadn't heard the term before but it got me wondering if roommates and platonic friends are now fooling around or does it just happen in porn with incredibly hot bodies and cheesy dialogue?

Has a bad review on Daddy's on March 26 as A.J. Picture now removed. Just advertised in Boston under a different name. At least 3 names in 1 week and a poor review. How do you spell Red Flag?

Pensant, you make gluttony, drinking and gambling sound like bad things!

My sample size is admittedly not scientific but almost all of my professional colleagues are cancelling planned summer travel. I note that those with kids acknowledge they may never use the credits they receive. If travel is safe by August and September there should be some crazy bargains.

I was intrigued by your comment purplekow about the aging process and whether it was a reason to switch from top to bottom. I am versatile with an overall preference for topping. However, I hire only tops. The Boston area, and most places I've visited, have plenty of bottoms. For a guy in fifties, who stays in shape and is decently hung, I do pretty well getting hot bottom guys. Attractive talented tops are not knocking down my door. I wonder though, as I get older, at what point is it ill advised to douche and stretch my hole?

What's the best available version of Pirates of Penzance?

Condom use, with or without PrEP, has been discussed on other threads. Let's face it, while none of us want to get an STD, fucking without condoms is easier, feels better and allows for more flipping and spontaneity. In addition most positive guys are now undetectable. That means the situation is very different than when a lot of us started having sex. Having survived the 90's and early 2000's I will always recoil when I hear of young guys talking about taking multiple loads and other crazy risky behavior. I will be forever grateful for being careful when the alternative was ominous. As much as I may fret about some of the side effects of getting older it does indeed beat the alternative.

A question, if I may, for fellow PrEP takers. Does it make better sense to continue or to take a break from Truvada if we're on a sex hiatus? It has been one week today since my last sexual encounter with another man. We're both fine. Part of me says, "Why bother taking it if inactive?" On the other hand, should I insure myself against a weakening of will power and succumbing to a hot RM ad? What are other forum members doing?

I like both as I suspect most of us do. Having said so however, I do prefer to receive. Blowing hot guys and 69ing is fun but if the guy doesn't turn me on it's nice to just lay back, relax and let him go to town. After blowing a load (or 2) I am usually gracious enough to tell him that that was the best BJ ever!

Just watched Such Good People with a few bitchy but fun friends. We may not have practiced proper social distancing but the alcohol in our cocktails may have killed some germs. Anyway, our consensus was that Randy Harrison remains smoking hot since Queer as Folk! His chiseled face, strong jaw and overall sex appeal wear well. Maybe he has been typecast but are we naive to think he doesn't have crossover appeal?

Thanks for the comments. The hotel he was staying at can exceed $200 a night in peak season but presently has rooms through Hotwire at $65. Having said that I was NOT trying to exploit the present crisis. As I stated my hesitancy is rooted in his being totally unknown and from my own history. A gamble with https://rent.men/Rafaek paid off. Emboldened, my next unknown was not only straight despite listing as bi but bordered on homophobic. I foolishly paid upfront and got half back after arguing. He quickly vanished from the scene. Thank heavens for this community, frank advice and scam warnings.

The human sex drive is clearly not fully governed by the logical side of our brain. First, I am now (due to the virus) without my part-time job, which funds my travel & hiring. In addition to the lost revenue, I also understand that escorts & Scruff hookups can be infected without knowing so. But I am still having trouble accepting and processing it all. Maybe when we learn of people we know getting sick we'll wonder why we resisted.

I recently exchanged texts with a new RM advertiser in Boston with no reviews or mentions here. He quoted 300 per hour. The few times I've got burned are when I took a chance on an unknown. I might have gambled for less $ but why risk it when I can call reliables who charge less (although I tip them)? I know Boston is an expensive city to stay or live but am I behind the times in terms of pricing?
