Reading this thread makes me think of the biologists that track wildlife.  Maybe it would help if the guy wore a radio collar. 
 

Maybe I’m too cynical. I've been the victim too many times in the past of fake RM profiles. Gorgeous photos, numerous flattering reviews...until I dig deeper and notice the same reviewers on other fake RM profiles. Or I go to the time and trouble of making travel plans and reserving hotels to only be catfished. I stopped doing that a while ago when I discovered this forum. That is why I’m grateful for this little community, and in turn, I share what I can to pay it forward. 

THANK YOU!

A few books at the moment:
The Engagement (on Kindle) by Sasha Issenberg, about the long struggle for gay marriage rights.
The Pink Scar: How Nazi Persecution Shaped the Struggle for LGBTQ Rights, 
and a new biography of the first woman ever elected to Congress, Jeannette Rankin.

Now THAT I would like to read. Help me out here - what State did she represent? Was it Montana? I recall it was a Western State. What is the name of the book? Thank you!! 

Wonderful new show with outstanding performances, and Connor Storrie (Ilya) definitely deserves the Emmy for his performance.  They both do really, but the monologue in Russian was enough to give it to him.  The secondary storyline with the hockey player in NYC and the barista was adorable, and would be great to see more of those two as well in Season 2!

Hello,
I travel a fair bit - mostly work trips that I often stretch into a little leisure - in places like LA, NY, and Chicago. When I’m hoping to see a provider, I’d much rather arrange something ahead of time so I can plan around meetings and flights.
The thing is, most of my early, polite inquiries never get a response. It makes me wonder if the norm is more “reach out in the moment” than “book days out.”
Is that just how this world works? Or am I missing a key bit of etiquette here? I’m genuinely curious because I’d rather be respectful than clueless.
Thanks for any perspective.

Can't wait for season two.   I loved episode six where it was becoming more of a romance story than just two guys hooking up.    

I agree about Connor's Russian soliloquy.
 
Does anyone here on the Message Center speak Russian?  I was wondering how well he is speaking it. 
 
SPOILER:
 
 
 
But also the scene in Episode 6 of Shane and his mother talking outside the parents' cottage really broke me. 

I'd like to add Joe Ballinger to my list. Woof. 

Jason Momoa 😛
Because in my fantasy he's into me of course 😎
 

I've just discovered a few that I didn't know even existed: Ty Fox and Steve Fox.
They actually appear together in the last scene of a movie called "Fox's Lair", and I highly recommend it:
One thing I love is the aesthetic that is hard to find today - huge, muscular hunks, tan, smooth and no tattoos:
Some studios from this time period include Bijou, Vivid Man, Studio 2000, and Catalina.

A lot of gay men with money that would hire escorts that live in the Boston area or the surrounding areas (rich or upper middle class suburbs) in New England, but there's never been enough of them.  I think New England sometimes gets ignored in favor of Manhattan.
25% of the Manhattan-based ones should just come up here regularly, and Boston should always be a stop for any international escort coming to the United States.

For this reason, I now almost exclusively cruise on gay chartered ships, or with an organized gay small group on a ship.
I am really fond of OUTbound travel.  I've sailed with them once on a river cruise, and have two upcoming cruises booked with them for their full charter of Azamara Quest.
When I sailed with them on a River Cruise, the changes they implemented with the cruise line really made the entire trip more relaxing, upscale, and worth the extra price.

Thanks everybody. I’m boarding tomorrow. I’ll keep everybody posted on how things go. 🤞🤞🤞

Hi everyone. I’ve been lurking for a bit. Thought I would finally join. I’ve been involved with this stuff for about 10 years. Thought maybe I could contribute.

JFK Jr, would probably have accepted 1 billion dollars for a romp. Count me in!

I'd go back to my teen years when I was securely hidden in the closet and I'd be brave enough to come out and have my first gay teen romance -- something so many of us missed out on in high school -- with that boy I crushed so secretly over: Leif Garrett. (I'm pretty sure I could have him now for free but would pass; fame and time have been unkind to him.) But in 1977, my heart melted when I saw him on TV or the cover of my sister's Teen Beat. ... I'd give 16-year-old me that thrill.
