Because I also found it annoying it was very rare for me to upsell a person in the middle of a Massage. More often I'd say, because it's true, that I like to have an hour plus with someone for escorting and since we only have 20 minutes left, let's just finish having a fun massage now and then you can come back, SOON, for an Escorting appointment, or an escorting and massage appointment, and we can talk about how much that costs and what's involved later. But I'm a realist and if they were visiting LA and didn't indicate they return often, I'd sometimes shift to escort in the middle of the massage if they indicate that was what they wanted. Gotta be flexible, like you.

This was all really helpful, thank you, and I love the Chart. On top of regular testing I always tested when I got Prostatitis, just to rule out that. Since I posted, I doubled down on the pelvic floor exercises, particularly while in Happy Baby, and left the prostate alone, which is JUST FINE with me :-), and came much more often than I usually do and that seems to have done the trick. I'll continue to do the PF exercises and continue coming more often than usual for a couple more weeks. I'm glad to know I can, or at least did, get rid of it without massage. Thank you all again.

Saw it last night, Imax but not 70mm, and I'm ok with that. I often put tissues in my ears in concerts and loud movies, but this didn't seem too loud to me at AMC. It's good. He gets on the boat, he gets off the boat, he gets on the boat, he gets off the boat, then guess what he does :-)

That happens. I've told the story before of the 22 year old Married Mormon who got so excited when we were making out , clothed, for his first time that he came in his magic Underwear! There was no talking him out of his clothes after that. Follow up: several years later I had an appointment at the Westwood W, and it was him! And he was divorced! He and his wife stayed friends and he was still working in the office with her, and so was his new Boyfriend! HAPPY HAPPY!!! Very Glad I could help (and help again).

Lots of closeted guys came to visit me in West Hollywood, or I visited them.

Apparently 10 years ago Vinegar Syndrome remastered it. I looked around quickly and couldn't find that remastered version, so here's a not so great one: https://www.xvideos.com/video.halmeade1f6/boys_in_the_sand_1971_

I've been there many many times, and that's where our counseling and (re)seduction skills should kick into gear so that after cuddling and discussion we can repeat the activities and come out on the other side.

Why is it over all too fast after penetration? Lots of guys can get fucked for hours. Never really felt there was any such thing as too quickly. Things can start quickly continue quickly, get slower, get super fast, get medium speed, get slower again, then speed up, then repeat. In my interactions I've always pushed against this notion that starting fast necessarily signals that the escort wants to get "it" over with. I was resistant to massage when I started doing it. I was happy simply escorting and my attitude was that if someone wants sex they should hire an escort. Lying on the table, hoping the masseur will "do more", is not relaxing. As I continued to do massages, I used them primarily as a tactic to get men to come back for escorting, my thing, and it worked.

Which is why I said "significant"" health concerns. Those times when you end up in the hospital, because you fell, stroked, whatever, and you're told you have Kidney failure, partial paralysis, whatever, those kind of significant events don't leave room for going back to the America to reassess, that was what I was getting at. What I didn't say is that while home healthcare is probably equally expensive everywhere, my experience with nursing homes in the US, the ones which have to take medicare once they burn through all your money, is very positive in both California and Minnesota. New York City Nursing Homes accepting Medicare are terrible. TERRIBLE. But in general I'm not afraid of them in America and resigned to giving them all my money some day, because that is going to happen to each and everyone of us who doesn't die in a car accident or have a suddenly fatal cardiac event. But in other countries, how do they handle the presumptive asshole Expat who becomes incapacitated because of illness? I think about this every time I'm in a foreign city I prefer to ours, every article I read about how happy people are living in Norway.

In this thread The few personal success stories of people retiring to other countries, be they the characters in the posted articles or the future plans of Forum members, seem to be those who either are from those places or have spouses from those places. In those cases, yes duh it's simple because they're a citizen or the spouse of a citizen, and so whatever healthcare and longterm care exists there is accessible for those individuals. A friend of mine is American, but his parents were born in Ireland. So he's Irish too. Fuckhead. 15 years ago he bought a perfect-for-him modernist condo here in LA for not much money at all. Now that he's in his 50s, he's looking to the future and decided to fuck off to another country. Ireland. He was able to buy a very nice house there for 80k, and so since it's so cheap he can keep his LA condo. Fuckhead. So, he can live in Ireland, drink from it's tit as he ages and not have to worry about the complications of foreign healthcare as an Expat cause he's not an Expat, he's also Irish, but he can also fuck off back to the USA and his paidFor condo 20 minutes from Cedars Sinai if he needs to cause he's American as well. Fuckhead. For those of us unfortunate Americans without dual citizenship, but dream to live elsewhere, It's naive to think we can just flit off to the states if we need something major, because as we age most significant health concerns start as a crisis, and a crisis doesn't allow you to fly back to Arizona etc to reassess the situation. So, I still don't understand: putting the language and family and friends things on hold because they are in fact thing 2 and thing 3, how does one pay for healthcare and eldercare, even if you have a lot of money, if you are American and you don't have citizenship in the host country? I don't want to let fear keep me from doing something I'd love to do, I never have before (At 22 I flew to Germany without a return ticket and managed to find enough random work, cuckoo clock store and Ski Instructor, that I stayed for a year. I dropped everything to become an escort 27 years ago, and before that I dropped everything to move to California, knowing no one, for a new Engineering job), but I don't see a way to handle healthcare while living in another country without being a citizen there. And yet, people do. HOW?

The first few months escorting it was only outcalls because I didn't have a couch and I thought walking someone through an empty living room to the bedroom was tacky. Soon I bought a couch (I was already an engineer, so I don't know why I didn't just buy a couch, but I was always more comfortable watching tv on a chair), and the convenience of incalls quickly overwrote any fears of having strangers in my apartment. I get that clients might be concerned inviting strangers into their homes, luckily we forget very quickly and google maps just goes onto the next thing. Don't worry about it.

Gosh no. The desert is not for me. LA is too much of a desert already

Don't want to go off topic, but simply never understood how Americans navigate healthcare and old age when they move to another country.

Beautiful. God I love that Freakin' city. Would move there in a second if I could.

Oh that's brilliant, like the hankies of lore and yore. Personally, I run hot so I'm very fond of AC. Never understood why hosts sex clubs and parties crank up the heat. I've left parties because it's too hot.

The O-Boys and QED parties in LA as well as the Sons of Bachus parties in San Francisco in the late '90s and early 00s usually had 40+ participants, sometimes entry was restricted to a set time, and sometimes it wasn't. When the party is that big it isn't very disruptive to arrive late, it actually keeps things moving, like a current. Smaller parties should definitely close the door, nor exceptions, at a set time. I was always amused that people offer finger food at these events, Doritos etc. Do you know where those hands have been? Do have a firm arrival time if it's a "small" orgy.

I think Colin wanted to sit like this :-) (Gay-Film buffs will know what movie this still is from)

I was hoping Titus Welliver (Bosch) was the star, but I can see from the trailer he is not.

It's more of a filmed play than a movie and very well-acted, excellent dialogue, and quite funny and briefly serious. I liked it. Good gracious, Penelope is beautiful. I'm not at all familiar with Olivia WIlde, but she did a good job directing. Enjoy https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14173636/

Great sympathies to all those dealing with Prostate Cancer. I've had many clients in that boat. Not nearly as terrible, anyone here deal with Chronic NonBacterial Prostatitis? I've had it for 25 years, I never know when it's going to flare up. First Line Treatment was, and for some doctors still is, antibiotics such as Cipro or the one I really hate, Levaquin, even though the pathology has NonBacterial in the name. I had one urologist who was a huge fan of super duper vigorous prostate self-massage, which is really uncomfortable but for me preferable to awful antibiotics. Now it seems the interventions shifted away from prostate massage, because it actually irritates it, which makes sense, or heavy antibiotics and focuses on gay-looking poses like happy baby to open up the pelvic floor, or close it, or whatever. What do you do for it?

Wet Wipes and Doxy don't do shit against C. diff and trust me you do not want that one. Cedars quarantined me for three nights, and I don't have immune issues. Body to body contact is a risky game, biology can be cunty.

Yeah, afterward I realized that I was railing against a Penguin Advertisement, lol.

But is there room for a second Saiyan Prince?

Is this list an intentional Joke? I Feel as if the person who made it knows only contemporary books, most of which aren't very good (Martyr! is a strong book, but I'm not sure it's a very good book), and those few (actually, just one) historical books assigned to her or him in college. This list made me sad.
