Thank you Big-N-Tall for being 'diplomatic' on my behalf, but when someone is that uncouth to call me out in open forum without substantiating their bullshit claim, I'll call them out on it.
As unsupported as 'They're Wiretapping me!"

I just finished that pizza I ordered upthread in post #21.......popcorn (air-popped, of course) for dessert!
 
oh, how a popular, good-looking, in-shape, straight(ish) dude puts all the little worshipers into a melodramatic tizzy-fit

She was one of the last remaining real journalists

I watch the PBS News Hour almost every night--this is a total shock. I'll miss her sharp analysis, her cool demeanor and her radiant smile.

No agenda, straight shooter...
 
Gwen Ifill dead at age 61

Gwen Ifill, the longtime news anchor who had served as a co-host of PBS’s NewsHour and as moderator of “Washington Week,” has died after a battle with cancer, PBS has confirmed. She was 61.
 
"I am very sad to tell you that our dear friend and beloved colleague Gwen Ifill passed away today in hospice care in Washington," WETA president and CEO Sharon percy Rockefeller wrote in an email to staff at the public TV station Monday. "I spent an hour with her this morning and she was resting comfortably, surrounded by loving family and friends... Earlier today, I conveyed to Gwen the devoted love and affection of all of us at WETA/NewsHour. Let us hold Gwen and her family even closer now in our hearts and prayers."

Kissing alone won't make me orgasm. However, as one Mr. Tristan Baldwin stated in is ad (at one time)... "...kissing is my trigger." If someone is a good kisser, it turns me on to no end. So much so, if i orgasm and my partner kisses me deeply, I either stay hard or get aroused again immediately. A good kisser can have me sexing all night, if they are up for it.
 
I haven't encountered a "professional" (who likes to kiss) with bad breath. If a working guy states they like to kiss, I'm pretty certain they won't have bad breath... not the good escorts anyway.

I post a slew of photos in an attempt to give potential clients less of a fantasy about what I look like and more of a reality of what I actually look like. More photos give more insight into my appearance even on my bad days. I don't want to appear so hideous as to turn too many people away, but I am willing to present a more complete picture of myself rather than my best self and let the chips fall where they may. I would rather meet the people who will take me at my ugliest than the people who think I'm just borderline attractive enough to be worth hiring.
 
Showing less is ultimately sexier and more attractive than showing more, but I personally feel more comfortable presenting a more comprehensive image of myself rather than luring people in. I'm not trying to look my best on screen just to look worse when I meet someone in person.

Or anything by CCR, really.

My list isn't complete without this one, either. It's my favorite song, perhaps of all time...

I'm REALLY curious if anyone besides me here got into New Riders of the Purple Sage and "Panama Red"!!

And my list ain't complete without Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Have You Ever Seen the Rain."

Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd

I blew my dad's hifi speakers out playing "Light My Fire" on the Doors 13 album.

Well, the thread title says "band," but hopefully solo acts are legal, too.
 
The first time I heard "Crazy" by Patsy Cline, I was hooked for life.

JD Phoenix scoffed at the idea of meeting a 50-somethingish man in the Albany NY area who I've seen...oh....only like 30 or 40 times. Awesome client, clean, discrete, intelligent...married and on the DL...and apparently JD thought he looked too old and out of shape to see. Articulated as such in a text message to him. Way to win hearts and minds.
 
Does JD understand that not everyone you're meeting in a session, was born to be on a porn scene or on TV? While we're on the matter, someone feed that girl a cheeseburger, because in all honesty I don't think a twink like JD Phoenix belongs on a screen either. How does he like them apples?
 
TB

(For Escorts and Clients alike; take this as you will...)
 
Since it seemed like the type of unusual place that not so many of the guys on this board visit, I thought I'd take a few moments to share some of my experiences here, and keep guys from either making an expensive mistake / going into something knowing what it will be and what it WON'T...so they can concentrate on having a vacation, etc.
 
First- getting here is not going to be one of the cheaper destinations you'll find. Expect to find it around 800-1300 USD, from most places in the US, economy. Had a ticket set up from BDL(Bradley field in Connecticut, our small little airport), for just over $1000 to Hong Kong...so I looked up how much it'd be to make it multi-city, and stop off in Singapore for a time- only increased the price by $160 and change. So I would NOT do this place as a 'standalone' destination, but rather as part of a larger Asia itinerary.
 
Second- Hotels. No offense to the clients from Singapore that might be on this page; but they are very picky about the location of hotels. If you grab a place down by Sentosa Island(the resort area), you'll be too far away...even though the Metro out in Singapore is phenomenal. It'd be like staying out in Oakland, while you advertise in San Francisco- there are going to be a majority of people who just can't or don't wanna swing the trip. Also, you might find a great deal on Orchard Road or in the Geylang area of town on a four star hotel- but believe it or not, some clients are gonna find those locations unsatisfactory as there is female prostitution going on nearby(Case and point- for one day of my trip I was staying at the 4.5 star[believe me, it was NICE] Orchard Hotel, on Orchard Road. Right next door is the infamous 3 star 'Orchard Towers', also known as 'Four Floors of Whores'- where there are probably 400 female or transgender prostitutes randomly rolling around.) Many clients didn't wanna be anywhere near that. Also...if you grab too 'boutique-y' of a hotel, security at the front desk is most certainly going to wonder what is going on, as almost every hotel had the dreaded keycard-activated elevators. You'll have to do alot of tapdancing to stay off the radar screen.
 
Transportation- As discussed above, the MTR is phenomenal and everything worth seeing is pretty much a few blocks off the line. For those of you fitness guys out there, a great way to see singapore is to wake up decently early- like 630/7AM, and go for a walk or a run, several miles each day- and divide the city center up into quadrants and really walk and run across it all. The hustle and bustle and crowds don't start till 9 / 10AM, so you'll be on pretty vacant streets.
 
Food- American food brands will be ultra expensive out here. For a mixed drink and a pizza at California Pizza Kitchen(on the final day of the trip I was craving a taste of home)- it was the equivalent of $42.00 US. (Frame of reference- roughly 1.4- 1.5 SGD for every 1 USD.). There aren't a ton of huge grocery stores(called 'Cold Storage') here, there will be lines even getting into small places like 7-11's. The majority of people in Singapore stock up once or twice a month, then eat out quite a great deal. There are places like 'Lau Pa Sat'- an open market with all sorts of food stalls where you'll get chicken, race, soup or a small salad/vegetables for literally 5 SGD- 4 bucks US. Portions are just a hair smaller then US portions so I found myself eating more meals a day. Probably a good thing in the long run.
 
OHHHHHHHHHH- very good piece of advice here from a west coast client/friend in San Francisco- bring Rolaids, Tums, or some other sodium bicarbonate or bismuth/antacids or whatever it's called, to nullify the effects of all the spicy foods and stuff you aren't used to. In addition- medicinal charcoal is available cheap in the pharmacies to help food poisoning, as is 'arsenicum', something available at health stores here in the US- it'll help get used to the food.
 
Alcohol- very expensive here, if you are a drinker...buy it at the duty free at the airport and bring it in with you, otherwise, you'll get SHELLED.
 
Clients- VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY(Did I say VERY?) Conservative. They won't even wanna be seen on an open street with you...for fear of getting spotted or labeled or judged. Most have never done this before or very infrequently, so it'll require a massive degree of patience to deal with them. Also, because of language barriers(even though English is the working language over there), you'll want to kind of identify how long you're going to be playing for, several times over. Anyone who knows me knows I'm not a clock watcher- I always try and give tons of extra time...but alot of the younger clients here(another reason I don't prefer young clients; they don't understand the nature of this), seem to think they have you for the night. Perhaps that's because the female prostitution here is on that same level- by the night vs shorter session? I literally had a kid show up in my room and start unpacking clothes and opening my drawers and putting his stuff into them-(AT 6PM AT NIGHT MIND YOU), and I'm kinda like..."..Umm..what are you doing...?"- and his response in broken english(he was Indonesian vs. true Singaporean) was "I'm just making room so we have for space for our night together". LOL. Again, this is why I don't go for the young ones- they'd hard enough in the English culture let alone overseas.
 
Sights- Marina Bay Sands is an absolute MARVEL of construction. However, to see the full thing up top(A park, pools, mega beautiful...built like 65 stories up..), you have to be a guest there. Otherwise, it costs about $16 US to go up the elevators just to see the observation deck. In my opinion, kind of a waste- if I could get a room there for $250, I would have rather paid the 250 to see the entire thing, vs. just the 16 to see the observation deck. Problem is, thing was SOLD OUT. I kid you not, not even listing prices on Priceline; all three towers SOLD to the brim. Asian gamblers primarily from all over the Orient, with serious $.
 
Gay culture- About 4 gay bars in the entire fucking city, with none of them having nice terraces or anything outdoors to enjoy the temperate weather- all closed door cement ugliness to 'hide' what is within. A shame.
 
Just waking up and adjusting to the time change here on the East Coast, but I just thought I'd jot down some thoughts.

Drive NW about 35 miles. It's $1.37!!

Could be... the straight bit causes me some hesitation. When I hire, I want the escort to convince me that he finds me attractive and is into the encounter as much, if not more than I am. I know it is an act in most cases but I am buying a fantasy after all. I know that some guys find the thought of sex with a straight guy very arousing, but that is not me.
