Rod Hagen

Thank you FreshFLuff. It is a lot better, BUT it's still stubbornly there. I have appointments with two separate hand/elbow surgeons in the hopes that one of them will inject cortisone (I understand they are controversial, thank you Unicorn). And if that doesn't take care of it, then yes, definitely imaging.

Was thinking of something more like this:

Oh GOSH! So much here. Thank you all. I didn't get any notifications that people had contributed to this thread. Thank you. I'll start reviewing all of this right now.

It wasn't a deflection. You seem to see disagreements to your belief, ON this subject specifically (I'm not generalizing about you broadly) as deflections or only half-the-story. In answer to your question to me, Yes I would, absolutely. In practice, however, I don't have money. Friends and strangers give me money so that I then at least have some. Looking at other providers, for example, presumably Kevin does have money, and people give him money so that he has even more. This is a nice gig AND when the feelings are there they are real wether you see it that way or not. Either I'm lying or I'm not. It's what you choose to believe. Dude, I just spent every day of the last 6 weeks in the hospital (see other thread) with my Client/Friend, it's not like he's paying me to do that.

Urine isn't especially dirty. Also, just use Purell if you must. Sleep is the most important.

Urinal next to the bed will help you fall right back to sleep.

Porn, professional porn, has been using injectables for years. Right now I have Dynamite, from 1977 on one video player and a Czech Hunter on the other vp on the other screen. As Always, Czech Hunter's dick is a destructive missile (thank you bimix, trimix, Quadmix) and everyone in Dynamite is in Various stages of Tumescence, except of course Jack Wrangler, whom nature gifted with a super dick. Point being watch 70s porn, you see realistic boners, watch everything after ED medication, you see Medical boners, which is fine. Just don't believe that injectables are the last refuge of a desperate man. After all, Rafael Alencar is a spokesperson for the Injectable company Rev For Men, and he's always been a stud.

The reality is they often do become friends, for better or worse, and for me it's always been a good thing, the friendships, and some very close friendships, that have grown between some of my clients and myself. Yes there is money coming my way, additionally our lives are richer for our friendships. Both things are true.

Long ago when I was young I was hit on by an older man at the gay WeHo Starbucks, now closed. My apartment is only 5 minutes away so we walked over. When we got here I told him I was an escort, and he was fine with that. I wouldn't have done that if I'd lived farther away and therefore would have wasted a lot of his time, nevertheless it was opportunistic of me. I saw him several other times and we still email back and forth, so I don't feel as if I took advantage of him, because he clearly wanted more of me, or at least it doesn't seem as if he ever felt that way, in fact I asked him once, and he said no. The bar at the Peninsula Hotel, Beverly Hills, was for nearly two decades rotten with female prostitutes. And Gore Vidal (obvs not interested in them.)

Right, our back and forth has gone on too long. I guess 1. I don't like feeling like I'm being told what to do (who does?) :-) and 2. I think your young friends are so addicted to their phones that they can't help but respond right away! Ok, back to the original post.

I get that. But it's not how I see contracting with others. I don't feel like the guy who cuts my hair works for me, nor does the woman who cleans my apartment every other week work for me, they do something and I pay them. But when I was an engineer and I hired others to the team, they worked for us/me. It's just how I've always seen working "independently" since I started escorting. I see it more as working together. I guess it's because either of us can walk away at any time, but that's less easily the case when you are an employee.

So, looking at Sicily in early Fall. Any Recommendations? When's a good time to go when it's still warm enough to swim, but not Blistering hot?

Being Horny is not an emergency. You and the Zillenials, who can't STOP texting, you polled can say three hours or less is what is considerate/best, but that doesn't make it so, just as I could never claim reasonably, in these contemporary times, that several days is considerate. I wonder if it's exactly your kind of impatience that's responsible for our "old" professional classification, "Call Boys". :-) Bring me your dick, NOW!!!

I'm glad to hear, I forgot all about it!

No, sorry. Sounds like Unicorn has all the right answers on responses, ask him :-)

And, which ones are comical?

They (supposedly) were "The Christy Twins" : https://thisvid.com/videos/vintage-christy-twins-compilation-1970-s/

I used to work out at the same gym as The Odyssey twins. They were actual brothers. We would BEG them to fuck each other at every QED party, but just as in their movies they were happy to have sex near each other, and not uncomfortable touching, they just did not want to play heavy together, or at least not in front of us (or on film). https://www.xvideos.com/video5286502/twins-2_the_odyssey_twins_gabriel_and_oscar I love love love the Peters Twins. They seemed so authentically not just into each other, but passionately in love. Very sad the relationship turned, but I'm full of joy that they did have that time together and that they shared those times with us. There are SO many fake twins in Gay Porn, but I believe Wakefield, and these two handsome men, when they say it was their first time.

Oh my gosh I miss the days of Voicemail, when I would go on a trip and leave a welcoming message: "Hello and thank you for calling you've reached the home number of Rod Hagen. Unfortunately, I am going to be out of town through February 17th, so please leave a message, and I will get back to you as soon as I return. And in the interim, I highly recommend you checkout my website at www dot RodHagen dot com. Thanks again for calling, and I will talk to you soon."

3 hours? What the heck?! Dude, yes you pay me (eventually), but I work with you, not for you. Well, now I know that through the decades I've lost (many?) clients by taking longer, sometimes days if I'm Mountain Biking/Snowboarding/Traveling all at once, to respond. Which is great! Clients in a hurry aren't often a good match for me. p.s .Let me add that if I do take a long time to respond to clients, often or sometimes, I have no right at all to bitch about lack of business. But still, what the heck, three hours?! Feels like your snapping your fingers at us. If the urge is that urgent can't you just jack off and then plan better next time? :-)

I can't believe I typed "it's" publication.

I've told this story before. LONG ago a client I'd seen only down at his house in Laguna Nigel, once while the remodeling crew was on the other side of his home-office door!, was staying at the BH Peninsula. He was a nice and fun man , but also one of those guys who would often "joke" about not paying me unless I do this or that. Our appointment was for 4:30am and I wore workout clothing so that if anyone asked why I was visiting that early (in my 20s I was very insecure about being in fancy hotels, I felt everyone knew I didn't belong) I was just going to say I was his trainer. He had told me his room was off in a corner and he wanted me to knock on his door stripped entirely naked in the hallway. I told him that was unlikely, but I would if I could. As it turned out there were three other doors near his, and I could hear activity in at least one of them. I took off my tanktop, knocked on his door, and I know from the peephole I looked naked. He opened the door, VERY excited and then saw I wasn't naked. BUT we got things going quickly, and I saw him a few more times.

I love condescending. :-) Thank you. I'll stick with the Mobic, so far it hasn't given me a problem this round and I think it's helping. I do get bone Density scans, thank you, and so far so good. Thank you. I can't tell if it's getting a bit better because of the Mobic, or because I stopped doing the active, forearm engaging, Yoga for now, or both but I'm glad it's receding bit by bit. Glad yours didn't come back.

NSAIDS can cause stomach irritation, or heartburn. If it's not TECHNICALLY reflux that's only important technically. So, ok, I won't call it reflux I'll call it heartburn, which is more accurate. Thank you. How about this as a response, "Reflux from Mobic seems unlikely, you probably described heartburn, which NSAIDS can cause. I presume you are taking it with food as described on the bottle?" It's still a bit condescending, particularly that last bit :-) but still descriptive and helpful. I am aware of the significant concerns re: long-term PPIs, after all if you read the box, it says to use for only, I think 14 days at maximum. Also, articles come out OFTEN in the general press about all those PPI complication, and possible complications, which you listed out. And more! in fact I was once hospitalized with C-Diff. YUCK!. As of now, it's a quality of life question, because every time I try to rely solely on H2 Antagonists, I have horrible problems eventually no matter how careful I am with what I eat. In those instances of flare up, there have been times I keep the Liquid Carafate bottle VERY nearby so I do not forget a dose. My partner and my two ENTs are in the same boat. We WANT to get off PPIs, but then our quality of life sucks. What to do? Anyway, back to my elbow, while I go see to my poor friend at Cedars.

I would if I could figure out what activity is aggravating it. Normally, I would guess it was giving massages and/or Rock Climbing, but I haven't done either more than once in the last month and a half. Even though I always stretch and warm up my wrists at the start of a session, it may be Yoga. I've been doing very active Yoga for years now so that seems odd. BUT it does hurt when I hold my Down Dogs and Side-Planks, so wether or not that was the cause I guess it doesn't matter, active Yoga aggravates it, so I have to put that on hold for now. I can still do boring Yin Yoga. And I can keep swimming. And, if the rain stops, I can snowboard, so I shouldn't complain. Thanks! I get it, I Loved Video games when I was a kid, but I sucked at them.
