Thanks for the responses. Expectations have changed since the long forgotten days of aol dial-up!

It has been doing that off an of for me over the past 10 days or so. I had to just refresh it a couple times but then it started working fine but occasionally does make you have to repeatedly accept the terms and conditions. The first time 10 days ago, it was almost as if you had to accept the new terms and conditions for every international domain name for the site.

He got older. He retained his talent (and smarts) and probably appealed to everyone in a a different way. Perhaps some, maybe even many, found him sexy all the way through.

He was pretty good on stage in "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof."
 
I went for his sex appeal, and stayed for his acting

Watching the FX series Trust has caused me to spend a fair amount time reflecting upon Brendan Fraser. He has played his part endearingly and well. On the other hand, I can't stop thinking about how hot he was when younger. Am I wrong to miss the hot guy of George and the Jungle and Gods and Monsters? Should I applaud his acting chops?
Many women in show business justifiably complain that as they age their careers suffer. Should we be happy he's proved himself more than the proverbial pretty face or lament his lost youth?

Another factor that can inhibit performance is the effects of PNP. Be wary of cliques of younger guys that travel together. If they party together and/or with clients all night they're worn out the next day.

I've never used its Pro service but have met lots of guys through the dating profile both home and while traveling. While Scruff and Grndr get more traffic A4A looks great compared to Manhunt. That site of happy memory has tanked.

I have been inexplicably enjoying this show since it started. Maybe its because the storyline is so ridiculous, but it is refreshingly unique.

A tuxedo is an item that can often be found in a consignment shop. Plan ahead and look in high end consignment shops. You can obtain a quality tux that will last for years after investing a few dollars in tailoring. A used rental will pay for itself once used twice. In summer (only summer!) a white dinner jacket can look sharp with the same pants, shirt, studs, and cummerbund from your tuxedo. Also, do formal wear justice and get patent leather shoes.

Good taste! 3 hotties

I admit that I was initially drawn to this series by Ricky Martin. Then, I got interested in the story. Now, I can't believe the frequency and length of commercials! Even though I dvr it & fast-forward the commercials, they are excessive. Netflix, streaming, etc. have spoiled us. I don't doubt that fx needs the $ to cover such high quality production costs, but I think I'll wait out the rest of series and see it on a commercial free forum. Anyone agree/disagree?

The Comfort of Strangers (1990) stars Rupert Everett at his sexiest. Erotic not gay themed but a homoerotic sub theme as the couple played by Christopher Walker & Helen Mirren both seem to fancy Rupert. It's also set in Venice which is a plus.

Looks pretty damn fine here, but that was probably a staged photo shoot. In this past weeks episode we had a flash of his buns as he jumped into bed with a cute young guy and had his way with him in from of Gianni. And, yes, it probably is a hairpiece to reflect the '90's. It looks awful.
 

It would not be surprising if Ricky was wearing a wig to represent the hairstyle of that period. Ricky's real life current hairstyle is much more Trendy....

Thanks for the post. I saw Funny Gay Males at the Club Cafe in Boston. It was probably in the late 1980's and we thought it was revolutionary! I wasn't aware of his health struggle.

This thread contains much helpful information. Two years ago I stayed at CCBC and completely agree with CoryMonroe's comments. Years ago I stayed at InnExile and it was very cruisy, especially at night. Then I heard it went straight, and now is part of All Worlds. Does anyone have any recent experience? Thanks

Yes there are. Discretion varies from place to place.
 
I've watched and sometimes photographed full-on sex at Helios, CCBC, All Worlds, Vista Grande, Canyon Club, and Inn Exile. I've observed more discreet sex at other places that mostly ended up moving into a room. It's been a long time since I photographed or visited one of those resorts, so I can't speak to current policy. Many of the places have new owners or no longer are in business.
 
A simple email or phone call to any of the current clothing-optional resorts will yield answers to any questions. But honestly, if you simply compare websites, like CCBC to Hacienda, you can easily tell which hotel encourages open sex and which hotel does not. It's not that difficult to figure out.
 
CCBC is probably the most famous bathhouse style resort. It has survived several decades. They have all sorts of outdoor spaces to play. They even offer a map. Many guests leave their room doors open for visitors to come and go as they please, much like a bathhouse. CCBC was always much busier than the former bathhouse ever was.

I can't think of a new or more interesting way to say so, but I would like to add my thanks to Nate and ArlVa for organizing things this weekend. This newbie almost chickened out and is so glad he did not. Every person at brunch was friendly!

I've enjoyed the responses. The lack of consensus is not surprising. I do appreciate being able to indulge in a gay storyline once in awhile.

I never thought I could handle it but after I was abducted by aliens and subjected to anal probes on their spaceship I got used to it.
