It's actually part of erotic asphyxiation (Wiki article).

I'm not an expert and will never pretend to be, but I do breathplay with several providers, so.... *cracks knuckles* If the provider it willing, after tying them spread-eagled face up, I gag them with a thick cloth gag so that the majority of their breathing is through their nose, and in intervals, I hold and press down a pillow over their face (i.e 30 seconds with a pillow, then 30 seconds to allow them to catch their breath). If they want to stop, they give the safety signal of snapping their fingers. I don't like choking because it's possible to permanently damage the voicebox or larynx. For one provider who asked me to do it, after typing him up, I simply held my thumb over a portion of his neck and that was enough for him to get high off it (there was no need to wrap him in a chokehold or wrap my hands around his throat). However, believe it or not, the pillow is effective enough where it was give off the same high but a safer alternative where it won't damage anything around the throat or neck. Said same escort simply brushed it off when he started, saying it wasn't a big deal, but by the end, he was thrashing and groaning while being muffled by the pillow and gasping when allowed a breath, so he was caught by surprise at how much the pillow pressing against his nostrils made it difficult and he couldn't really breathe or scream out because he was gagged. As for doms, here's what I suggest: 1. Look around your area for doms experienced in bondage, but then try them out for a session without breathplay. I didn't think I needed it, but thanks to advice from fellow forum members, it really makes a difference if the provider and you have established some sort of rapport and history to get to know each other better. See if this dom respects you, follows your wishes, and gives you a good feeling in the way he handles his domination. After that session or two, bring up the breathplay. 2. Consent. See if the dom respects your safeword and immediately stops. Example: I had a session with two providers as a couple and though I explained the pillow breathplay session and they agreed beforehand, one of the pair freaked out when I did it to his partner, afraid I was hurting him. Both asked to stop for their safety, and though disappointed, I agreed to cut the session short and wished them well as they both left. As much as I would have liked the continue, if the provider wants to stop, I must stop for their safety and wishes. Whoever your dom will be, ensure he does the same to you. If you change your mind in the middle of the session, you are allowed to do so and check if your dom does the same. 3. I wouldn't recommend the choking, and would suggest the being gagged with a pillow, but if you must, after seeing if the dom has had any experience with it, try having your dom simply pressed with one hand across your artery or neck, enough to give a comfortable pressure without it hurting. And ensure your dom knows CPR and is aware of any medications or allergies from you should there be a worst case where he needs to call an ambulance. Also let your dom know if you have any injuries (I had to tie one escort in another manner when he revealed he had shoulder surgery). So be safe and research, but instead of choking, see if other forms of smothering could still get you off. If you find a dom, try him out for a session or two to get a feel for him before you decide if you can trust him or not. And ensure he respects your consent and stop immedaitely if you can't take it anymore. Hope this helps.

Is your friend OK?

I'm not too surprised considering for a while he was only doing Skype meetings and no in-person meetups. Still, I do wish him well and he had a long career, so if he wishes to end his services on his terms, then I'm happy for him. I did one Skype meeting, and he was great (he was willing to do one of my fantasies in the end) so I hope he'll be content in the next phase of his life.

I just had a discussion with a friend over this when I told him that I liked muscular older guys and daddies (and yes, I had maturedmuscle stay with me during the PS event in April so you can guess my type). He brought up something interesting. He pointed out that muscle and strength are associated with youth and vitality which is usually associated with younger guys, so if I like only like older muscle bears/bodybuilders/muscle daddies like maturedmuscle and not all body types of old/older men such as fat, skinny, wrinkled, or obese, then I can't really say I like old men. He says then technically, I only like old men who have youthful qualities. I disagreed on that, telling him that I usually only hired men around my age or older (so 40s or above) because I can find more subjects to talk and discuss over, and old guys can have muscle and bodybuilding is not solely a "young gay" sport. But that got me thinking if he has a point because then if I only like muscle daddies and not all types of old guys, would that technically be an aversion?

I know there was one post in another thread, but I've recently been getting into role-playing table top games like Dungeons and Dragons (on Saturday we played a five hour session at a friend's house over homemade peanut butter brownies and pizza and I loved it). The thing that I learned is that there are multiple genres of roleplaying games that are not just Dungeons and Dragons (I played Mighty Morphin Power Rangers as the Black Ranger and Marvel Multiverse where I played Iron Fist) like Vampire the Masquerade, Call of Cthulhu, Transformers, Lord of the Rings, and even G.I. Joe and My Little Pony. And believe it or not, all ages and genders are getting into it at the comic book shop I visit for sessions; I can't tell you how many kids, teenagers, and even Moms and Dads play with their kids (we had one five year old that impressed the DM with his unique ways of solving a problem; the DM actually said "I would have never thought of that"). It's fun to not only be on a quest with others but think of versatile and unconventional ways to get goals done and fight enemies (the DM basically rewards you if you think of a solution that surprises even them). Also, you plan your history and motivations of your characters and it makes the experience so much richer, getting lost in a character and realizing your role is a part of a grand saga. Plus, there are sites like Hero Forge that you can design your characters and they can 3-D print them and color them to your exact specifications so you can play with them during the sessions. Here's my two: a human acrobat Monk and a half-Orc, half-human nomadic wizard:

Vin/Danny just sent a text to me checking up on me because he was a bit worried when he noticed I was a little subdued from the PS event. I was really touched he took the time to contact about me and noticed. Seriously he’s got one of the biggest hearts in this industry, and I look forward to when we can meet again.

I believe he was previously known here as Briccmayo I’m surprised at some of the negative reviews; he previously had good things said about him earlier.

Me and maturedmuscle/Steve had a wonderful time (PM me if you want to know more), but I'm actually tired and glad it's over (there were a few setbacks on my trip), and as always, it's the people we met that made the biggest difference and joy. Making friends and meeting new people is the highlight of the trip, and I can't thank @Oliver @azdr0710 @sam.fitzpatrick and @David-SF enough for their kindness, attention to detail, gregariousness, and all in all making this year a wonderful success.

Just got back from the PS forum event with Steve/maturedmuscle. PM me for details but he's handsome, charming, polite, an excellent talker, and has a wonderful body.

I'm sorry but his friends actually tried to justify the theft? If someone doesn't want their picture taken, the first thought that pops up in my mind isn't to steal the other person's camera. If one of my friends ran a car off the road and then shot the driver in the head just because the driver cut him off on the freeway, I'm not going to come to my friend's defense. I assume once you showed Lawson's friends proof that Lawson agreed to the pictures and that he stealthed you and gave you two STDs, did they admit what Lawson did was pretty scummy? Or did they still refuse to believe he did anything wrong?

Many thanks to you and Todd for opening your home and hosting.

If anyone is interested, there's also a Farmer's Market in Palm Springs on Saturday (I discovered it last year): Farmers Markets in Coachella Valley California CERTIFIEDFARMERSMARKETS.ORG Fresh and locally grown fruits, vegetables, flowers, meat and more. All our farmers and vendors are certified so you can trust that the produce is organic and grown in an... They had an awesome juice stand and a stand that sold pretty good tamales and a bakery stand too. Plus, fresh fruits and stuff we could get for later back at your hotel room.

The escorts are fun, but what also makes this event fun is catching up with old friends and meeting people from the forum over food and fun. And there will be additional escorts who come to the pool event on Sunday even though they didn't advertise on the thread (either because they want to keep it discreet or wish to just come in on the fly). So even though there aren't a lot of replies, it's still a good thing. However, what about you @Lucky? Are you planning to hire and bring someone over for the event? Or invite someone locally?

I'd recommend Tarryl; I saw him at the last PS Forum event twice. Therapeutic and wouldn't take his shirt off, but so friendly and a good conversationalist and he really did well with the pressure on the right places upon my feedback. Who knows? Maybe the next time I can catch him shirtless. But the massage was good.

Oooh, I could use this! I need a place to workout during the forum event with my friend. I'll check it out! Thank you!

I have a question for Palm Springs gyms. I have a membership with 24Hour Fitness, but there's no 24Hour Fitness gym in Palm Springs. I may have to get a guest pass at one of the local gyms in Palm Springs to work out/lift weights (my guest might be a member at Gold's or Anytime but I'll check with him). Does anyone have a recommendation on which gyms to workout in downtown Palm Springs (or are close by) that offer good rates for a guest pass for 4-5 days? Thank you.

Found their old account on RM when they were escorting together as BrendanBrian: BrendanBrian - Pornstar Performer, Rentboy, Gay Massage in Cobh, Ireland | RentMen RENTMEN.EU Pornstar Performer & Rentboy in Cobh, Ireland - BrendanBrian: BrendanBrian But from what is looks like on their Twitter, Brendan and Brian are still together. Maybe they just decided to not escort together as a couple and Brendan feels he can escort solo while his partner retires.

The link is no longer working. Did he change his name? But name changing in the middle of his trip is kind of a red flag, and so soon after your post; I wonder if he's been watching this forum...

I'm not too familiar with spotting the signs, so please forgive me and know I'm being serious when I ask this. How could you tell this escort is PNP? His profile doesn't say he participates in it. And none of the pictures in his profile show "meth teeth" or bloodshot eyes, so I'm just curious what am I missing?

Actually, it's custom in Chinese culture to clean your house before the New Year to bring in luck, so it's not weird at all. Think of all the good luck that will come through.

I met a friend for lunch and a beer or two at a food court, and now I'm cooking spaghetti while surfing on my computer. Will watch a movie afterwards. But it's cold and staying at home with everything I need and want, warm and safe, is worth a lot more than staying in a crowd and watching a ball drop while partying. I also found that celebrating in the day on New Year's Eve is a lot more pleasant and less likely to get into a car accident (though if I am out, I leave immediately after 12:00 A.M. because the people from bars do not come out until the bars close around 2:00 A.M. to 3:00 A.M.). Surprisingly, I went to the gym at 9:00 A.M. this morning thinking it wouldn't be too crowded, but unfortunately, it was. I belong to 24 hour Fitness and during the COVID pandemic, they closed a few locations but the number of memberships remained the same. With the coming New Year, I'll go tomorrow morning early after breakfast, but I'm not looking forward to the New Years resolution people coming to the gym and taking up everything. It'll get to the point that I'll have to come to the gym at 8:00 or 9:00 P.M. at night to get a comfortable workout. I guess due to COVID, people realized how much they missed gyms and decided to not take their memberships for granted.

I'm sorry this happened to you; it sounds like he just bailed. Has he responded to any of your messages yet or did he go quiet completey? Actually, would RM allow a review of this? Technically, DavidTheNewYorker would have proof of contact and proof of the online deposit, so if he provided this to the RM admin, could they allow him to leave a bad review warning people of how RyanMaddox scams others to prevent this from happening in the future?
