Yes. On the plus side, you don't have to use as much as with some other brands. The negative is the glass bottle. Dropped or broken could literally be a mess. 

Both.
I love seeing guys I know repeatedly. My attraction for them grows and grows the more we know each other on a mental and physical level.
However, i also like meeting new guys here and there. I met a few new guys this year who turned out to be awesome. I hope to see all of them on a regular basis.
I may meet 2 new hires next week.
Part of the reason i like to meet new guys is after doing this whatever number of years, some regulars retire. I've been blessed that some of those retirees still see me (platonically, for business, or both). 😛 The rest just disappear. So I have to add back to the team, so to speak.

I guess one can't say only gays make catty comments:
Talking about the American Gigolo reboot Monday night at dinner with my spouse and 2 straight couples, one straight guy got a laugh saying, "I'd do Richard Gere in a heartbeat but I'd do Rosie O'Donnell before Jon Bernthal."
 

I'm not sure that the Russian Roulette analogy is appropriate when double vaxxed for Monkeypox. 

Having visited Akyreyri, I would guess he was traveling with someone, perhaps a client. There were only 2 or 3 on grndr so there couldn't have been much of a market.

I'm the same age and versatile. I only hire tops. That's because I can hook up with younger bottoms, especially since I'm rather hung. But there is competition for tops. 
Have you considered a bathhouse or sex parties? During the decades-long HIV scare I never considered them. However, with Prep and U=U, they are an opportunity for older guys to play. At a venue like Clubhouse II or resorts in Palm Springs and Fort Lauderdale you will find a mix, admittedly older, of tops, versatile and bottoms.
If you are fixated on only younger guys you may be disappointed.

Luv2play is right about Tony Serrano. It's been some years but I did meet and very much enjoy him. I also had a great time with Marco Napoli. Although he's proudly Italian-American, he's not the type I described, which admittedly may be a result of the passage of time.
Nick Capra has that vibe. I'd take a chance on him but don't believe he's escorting or traveling.
 
 

Good comments. I also realize I may be trying to turn back the clock. The CK jeans and blow dryers aren't coming back anytime soon. 

Previous forums have discussed Italian Americans, even invoking the Guido label. It is a look I fancy. They don't have to be Jersey Shore muscular. In the 1980's and 90's guys like the young John Travolta and Tony Danza looked great in tight jeans. Remember the NYC cop who posed in Playgirl? Manhattanites may have derided them as BBQ's (Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens) but the look wasn't limited to NYC.
Are there any present escorts who have that look and vibe? Age no issue if they've aged well.
 

Thank you Epigonos for your report. Living on the east coast I have only been to Palm Springs a few times. However, I realize that the visits have been spread over many years. I first stayed at InnExile around 1990. I've since heard that it went straight and then gay again. Does anyone know its present status?
I also stayed at and enjoyed InnDulge under previous ownership. Last few visits have been to CCBC. Yes it's out of the way but I had a lot of fun.
Lastly, the Palm Springs gathering may be just the push I need to visit again. Gay bars are vanishing everywhere as have my favorite gay resorts in Fort Lauderdale. I think it best to enjoy them before they're extinct.
 
 

I spent a few days with someone who was well regarded on this site but has apparently retired. It was soon after I began Prep. One morning as I was about to get out of bed he grabbed me and said, "Are you going to clean out and brush your teeth?" I was indeed, as I had done so the previous mornings which led to much fun! He started to kiss me. Then he grabbed the lube. He could tell I wanted to check, "down there" but told me to relax. It did take me bit to relax because I'm so anal, pardon the pun. Once he came he said he was staying inside until he came again. And he did. 
I remain amazed at what a barrier breaking session that was. Needless to say, while I think good hygiene is also good manners, Im not going to let worry ruin the moment.

Finally, a therapist who could really get me to open up to him.

No. Nor is their nose hair trimmer. A case of creative marketing over product quality. Anything by the traditional brands (Norelco, Braun, Panasonic) is better. 
 

I like the idea. DC/MAL is always at risk of flight cancelations if we get a storm. Florida reduces that risk. I might suggest Fort Lauderdale over Palm Beach as it offers more venues: bars; baths; clothing optional resorts and gay restaurants that can accommodate large parties.
 

The massage was excellent and he is beautiful. I wish it were on a table but the pros outweigh the cons.

Just an update...
Although I love having "regulars" I rarely see the same guy in the same week. But I just returned from my second session, and it was wayyy better than the excellent first one. More relaxed, more relaxing, more flesh, more touch... etc., etc.
At the risk of sounding like a "shill" for him, I endorse him a second time. He told me that he is visiting Washington, D.C., and Boston during the month of August, btw.

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! 

He has no phone # listed. I emailed and he said we'd have to have a video chat first but no details as to when, how, etc. Too many fish in the sea to go through all that.
