If only Austin Wilde would post an ad!!!

The ManRay site is now $1Million+ condos. Cambridge’s only other gay bar Paradise is now a biotech company. I don’t think it has hurt applications but Harvard and MIT boys have no local gay bars. 😀

Actually, that is one of the survivors. The restaurant and bar are neighborhood hangouts and there are shows a few nights a week. Interestingly, Cathedral Station in the South End and "dbar" in Dorchester are restaurant/bars. Maybe that's the path to survival, at least in this area.

I mourn the loss of Gayborhoods in so many cities. Boston's South End had several bars, coffee shops and gay businesses. The last bar just closed and the gentrified neighborhood is almost all straight. DC had the respectable gay Dupont Circle and the notorious area later cleared for the National's ballpark. Even the Castro is shrinking. Who could have imagined a go-fund-me to save Twin Peaks? I'm glad Wilton Manors endures. Someone better silence me the next time I complain about it!

Any updates?

The Boston bar scene died pre-Covid. Some of it was due to high rents. Also very strict enforcement regarding nudity and action. Despite a young population and a large gay population two popular venues are also restaurants. Providence, RI is nearby, It has always been less restrictive than Boston. Nonetheless the vibrant bar scene is shrinking. The strip bars closed for lack of business and the dance venues are fewer and smaller. One West Hollywood bar has more patrons on a Thursday night than all of Boston combined.

No self-respecting gay man should ever approach a buffet line. What's next, wine in a box? 😀

Lots of good insights. The thought of staying sexually active remains a good incentive for taking care of oneself. Ironically, after years of never having sex with guys much older than me I now have an aversion to particularly young guys. When hiring, I'd rather have another go with some of the best known providers here, whose abilities are well known, as opposed to the newest flavor of the month. A couple of years ago I had one of the best times ever at Steamworks in Chicago playing with guys my age and older. I watched other guys my age repeatedly try to move in on groups that weren't welcoming them. I vowed never to put myself in that position.

Regrettably for me the Daddy thing never appealed to me in my youth. (If only I could go back and re-do!) In fact, in my twenties I probably thought 40 was ancient. I used to think sex was over at 50. That concept may have been reinforced by a number of straight friends and co-workers who let themselves go physically and implied that there wasn't much spark in their sex lives. As I get older I realize that was one of many mistaken notions. Especially in the gay community guys take care of themselves. This hobby is fun for meeting younger guys. Most of my encounters however, are with guys my age. Rather than chasing the Fountain of Youth I frequent venues where I meet guys my age. For example, I'm more Club House II than Club Fort Lauderdale! Recently, I met an amazing 73 year old fit top. His German accent and stamina blew me away. Although he's only 15 years older than me it got me excited to think that there may be more years of healthy sex ahead than I thought. My guess is that this community consists of guys who want to keep at it. Do any "older" members wish to share their age? Or that of friends? Can any providers tell us the ages of older clients?

Does he offer more than massage? Some time ago I heard or read that he transitioned from top to masseur only. Does anyone know present offerings?

He testified under a grant of immunity. The testimony should never have been allowed as evidence once given under that pretext. The rules were egregiously ignored due to the Me Too climate. The prosecution reasonably concluded that it was the best way for the victim to win a civil judgement. That isn't justifying Cosby's behavior. The rules can't change mid-game.

Terrific personality, sexy, cuddly & affectionate & fully versatile. Met recently and was VERY pleased.

Kris Lord danced at the now defunct Tramps in Providence before he filmed a couple of videos. He was amazingly attractive such that he stood out amongst a pool of handsome guys. And a killer smile/grin!

I was in a Provincetown restaurant last summer ordering a pre-dinner cocktail. I asked my companion if a Pomegranate martini would make me look more butch than a Cosmopolitan? He replied, "Honey, it ain't the drink." The waitress guffawed.

My first hire was with a friend. I naively knew little about the business beyond seeing ads in the personal section of the local DC gay rag. A FB invited me to join him for a birthday celebration. He had arranged a hire from an agency and we had a ball. That was so many years ago! A few years later a couple I was friends with hired a guy to liven up a small group party. I got his number and called him later. That was my first "official" hire. I think doing so with friend is a comfortable way to try it out.

Thanks kaboom. Your hint revealed a lot...all good.

I think Ewan McGregor was great and proved that straight can play gay and presumably vice versa. I also appreciated the way a mainstream production can acknowledge male sexual activity. You didn't have to be a genius to figure out he was size queen bottom.

I never understood the show's appeal. Seinfeld was creative and brought a younger hip demographic to network TV. What did Friends do that was unique? How it became a ratings leader and internationally popular still baffles me.

Recently watched based on comments here from JEC & Rod Hagen. Spoiler alert...ending broke my heart. Came out of nowhere. Well done movie.

Thank you Joe Mendoza for the pics. I unsuccessfully tried posting one with my initial post. Either he looks better today than ever or my perspective has changed as I get older.

Is it me or did Brad Pitt look sexier in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood than in his previous roles?

It is one more site whose time has come and gone. Its cruising listings continue to get updated. Personal ads gave way to Manhunt which was eclipsed by Grindr & Scruff. Squirt's heyday was the Manhunt era.

Did anyone see the clip of Lil Nas X on Saturday Night Live? There has been talk about his apparent wardrobe malfunction but nothing about the content. All male back up dancers and suggestive moves on a mainstream broadcast. I don't think this could have happened only a few years ago. Bob Dylan was right, "The times they are a changin."

Bump. In Boston now.
