When I trained, they taught us how to massage the stomach. Once we'd learned, the other students would always try to skip it, and I'd never let them. Most Spas do not allow the practitioners to "do" stomach massage, which is ridiculous. Stomach massage is wonderful, and important. I never understand why private masseurs prefer to skip it.

Glennn was a client of mine, very nice guy; wonderful man.

Starbucks Sumatra, definitely

Perfect, thank you :-)

Like therapists, It's always up to providers to control the time. Your specialty, fisting, can NOT be rushed, and if you are going to feel slighted if not compensated when it does run long, you really need to make it clear at the beginning how time consuming fisting can be, and that while "I don't want you to feel rushed, I do keep a busy schedule (insert something about ha ha it's not ALL clients I'm not THAT much of a whore ha ha) and so it's really important that", well the rest is up to you. Yes, it's important that clients feel comfortable with you. Additionally, however, it's important that you not feel resentful or you will not enjoy escorting as much as we all want you to. So, create a compassionate, firm, playful script and stick to it.

Thanks Paul! :-)

You're right about that. I taught skiing in Europe, and they paid us shit, and nobody tipped.

Anybody remember Taveller? He was a wealthy, youngish, Lawyer. LOVED big dicked Tops. Overdosed, I believe. Fun poster. How about, before Fin Fang Foom, TruthTeller, the prick; anyone remember him? Mean as he was he was often funny. And even before TruthTeller there was Skeptic. Hey what was the name of the guy who worked for law enforcement down in San Diego? WoodLawn was impossible, just impossible. Totally inflexible.

Yes, that was him. Thank you

The days of great snow in December ended 15 years ago. Go in January or February. Gay ski week in Aspen is fantastic, I've been many times. And I'm not someone one who enjoys gay events generally. You need to think long and hard before going to Breckenridge. All mountains are high, of course, that's what makes them mountains. But Breck is at that point where almost anyone visiting will struggle against the altitude. I've been to Breck 20 times. I always suffered altitude sickness to some degree. One year it was so bad I drove to Denver and flew back to LA several days early. Then I discovered Diamox, which I think I've written about here. The skiing at Breck is fantastic. Anyway, Telluride is also very high, but it is so very very beautiful (again, Diamox.) Vail is wonderful. I spent many fun filled days there in the late 70s and early 80s. One of the first things you mentioned was the Koosh stuff, which is fine. If that's what you are looking for, hit Vail or Aspen or Telluride. If you want kick ass skiing, hit the Summit (Breck and A-Basin) or Purgatory or Crested Butte (crusty butt). Have fun!

Daily, I brew blended Starbucks Sumatra (2 scoops) with Urth Manhattan Mudd (4 scoops). Best damn cup(s) of coffee I've had in 44 years (yes coffee started for me at 4, I'm a Scandinavian farm boy) of drinking it. Unfortunately (possibly), I have to have both ground at the store and can't use a Burr at home, much as I'd like to. More important to me than PERFECTLY ground coffee is very very very very very good coffee that is brewing automatically the moment I wake. And, unfortunately, every automated coffee maker I've purchased that uses a burr grinder becomes clogged immediately because my favorite beans are quite oily. Yes, in the last 15 years it's become quite trendy to be mindful and stepwise when "creating" the perfect morning coffee. And if that brings you greater enjoyment and makes you mentally and emotionally centered, wunderbar. That process doesn't bring me pleasure. Smelling my favorite blend of coffee brewing as I walk to the kitchen first thing that brings me pleasure. So, daily I don't have the best coffee, because I don't grind it myself. But I have my favorite coffee my favorite way.

Who was the poster living in Minneapolis who died? He posted here that he'd struggled with his illness (cancer??) but that the fight was over and he said goodbye to us, then someone posted later he died. He was nice, I just don't remember his handle. Being from Minnesota, originally, myself, he and I talked privately as well. He seemed to handle his impeding demise really well.

If someone's only going to be with you for an hour or two, taking it slowly might not be the best use of their time :-)

I love Mexico, Central America, latin parts of the Caribbean, South America, well, I guess, I love Latin America. I've always wanted to visit Mexico City, but have not because whenever I check the Air Quality online, it's too low for me and my asthma, and this from someone who lives in LA! I was fine in Chiang Rai, I was not fine in Bangkok. I was fine in Hanoi, I definitely was not fine in Saigon. (Sadly, this condition has kept me from China as much as I wanted to visit there). How do you manage the AQ in CDMX? Some people say, visit in Winter. Then I look online, and the AQ sucks in the winter. But visiting places with bad AQ in the hot summer sucks too. What to do?

Add to this to that, most of us live in such ludicrously expensive cities. Oh well. Life isn't fun if it isn't a challenge.

Eyes wide open, absolutely.

This thread is funny. RentMen gives escorts publishing power because we pay them. That's exactly why Aaron Lawrence told Hooboy, nearly 25 years ago, that his site needs to be free. Also, Kevin was 100% right.

Library books are free everyone :-)

If you're not traveling through or living in a particularly internet-restrictive country, why use VPNs?

Fantastic movie. I definitely disagree with you and your friend about PA movies; he's a master filmmaker. He, André Téchiné, and Ferzan Ozpetek are gay directors who have a very special place in my head and heart.

I usually went to the one on IVAR, but I hit this one once or twice decades ago. Currently, there are so many sex parties around LA, the sex clubs and the last remaining bathhouses feel a bit archaic. Or, exclusive :-)

Oh Ha ha oops. March 2020.

I would say I was ripest as an escort at about 28. By then I'd had 2 year's experience, I was RIPPED, and I was still traveling and doing overnights and such.

Kona is fantastic. This is my favorite coffee in LA, either at Urth or brewed at home. If I get it at Urth I'll have them add a shot of espresso http://www.urthcaffe.sa/welcome/view_deatils/8
