Every article is good, every one, and books are my priority, therefore short flights are the only time I can get through the Economist, so unless consistently I'm flying 3 or 4 times a month, which has not been the case for years, it's just not worth the expense and frustration, they pile up making it impossible to fuck guys on the edge of my desk. Priorities.

The New York Times, while possibly diminished currently, remains the best source for longform journalism combined with breaking news, as well as the best, and this is the most important to me, investigative journalists, math wonks, and global news. Additionally, every link you posted makes a point and also nobody with a brain would deny that that cartoon was just awful. Further, twitter does nothing but get people and companies in trouble; I wish it would disappear and I know it won't, I don't have that power. Yes, the New York times gets facts wrong, and yes that happens to all papers more often these days. Yes, the NYTimes lost some giants, and I miss them terribly. I loved Bari Weiss's articles on Israel, a country I like very much. I was skeptical of her complaints about bullying only because it seemed as if she needed to pick a lane: were people her age and younger becoming too sensitive (generally, not regarding Israel), which she often argued, or too insensitive? It's hard to make a case that both are true. That's not to imply the internal bullying against her didn't happened, Slack is a horrible bitch-fest. Many suspect she left to join forces with Andrew Sullivan in some new venture. I guess we will have to wait and see with that one. Taking your toys and leaving, VERY LOUDLY, does not seem very graceful. If I hated everything about The New York Times I would continue reading it for Jeffrey Gettleman a master writer, reporter, human being, and bureau chief.

Sometimes this is the only way I can come.

A very good friend of mine turned me onto the Chin. I utilized it before, but never focused on it. Now I do; yours, then mine.

Me, NyTimes since 1991

Armpit Armpit ARMPIT!

Loved it.

I've seen every episode of Buffy, Seasons 1-5 (I like to imagine seasons 6 and 7 don't exist) at least 10 times. Enjoy. Also, if strong superwomen get you, please watch Xena. The arc is amazing, and when you think about how young Lucy Lawless was, it's kind of mindblowing.

now THAT is a pink hole.

As Bill Maher said, "wearing a mask on your chin is like wearing a condom on your balls."

A beautiful young New York woman was so depressed that she decided to end her life by throwing herself into the ocean. But just before she could throw herself from the docks, a handsome young man stopped her "You have so much to live for, said the man. Look, I'm a sailor, and we're off to Europe tomorrow, and I can stow you away on my ship. I'll take care of you, bring you food every day, and keep you happy. With nothing to lose, combined with the fact that she had always wanted to go to Europe, the woman accepted. That night the sailor brought her aboard and hid her in a lifeboat. From then on, every night he would bring her three sandwiches and make love to her until dawn. Three weeks later she was discovered by the captain during a routine inspection. What are you doing here? asked the captain. I have an arrangement with one of the sailors, she replied. He brings food and I get a free trip to Europe. I see," the captain says. Plus, she adds, He's screwing me. He certainly is, replied the captain. This is the Staten Island Ferry.

Tender kissing, or lack thereof, is one of my flaws. It is very very very hard for me to kiss lightly. I make a conscious effort to kiss lightly, and before I know it, my tongue hunts for his tonsils again. It's something I've worked on, unsuccessfully.

18/93 My beloved 93 y/o client and I are patiently waiting for covid to somehow resolve so we can resume where we left off. He's been my client since he was 73.

We have no idea how protective these Vaccines will be :-( If it's 40% effective will people in risky categories be comfortable hooking up randomly? Should they be? How about 60%?

When I watched the first episode I just couldn't stop thinking how entitled these kids are. I worked for the US Military in Europe in the early '90s and had a lot of interaction with the Army Brats, they never would have behaved so openly disrespectfully. But, I have to remember, if I go back to the show, that it is FICTION. Ha ha. And also times and children have changed.

In the late '90s and early aughts it was easy to get $300 flights LAX--JFK and the Chelsea Savoy and Waverly Inn were $125.

Wow. I haven't done Danseur for years. I gotta get back to that. Gotta find someone flexibile enough but with a lean enough ass. I'm really enjoying going through the positions website. Thank you again.

I'm cycling through all the positions on that great website, thank you for posting it, seeing which ones I've engaged in and which ones I plan to. I've mentioned it in other threads, but fucking a guy "sideways doggie style" while putting my foot on his head is totally hot.

George Saunders pointed this out from Silas Marner: "On rocky isles gulls woke." In one line it describes what most writers would take paragraphs to set up. And I love that the punctuation is purposely wrong.

O Mi god, I forgot to say it's ALSO best for access to his dick while you're fucking him. Don't forget the bottom's dick!

When I traveled I never did. But, hotels and flights were much cheaper then and I very much enjoy travel.

I've heard, I have no idea if this is true, that the presence of condoms and lube in the escort's pocket/backpack is often used as evidence that they were going to the hotel for illegal behavior.

I love every position. Before covid I hadn't been doing Lotus as often as I used to just because my mattress isn't as firm as it used to be. It's still firm, but for lotus to be most comfortable it's best on a very firm mattress or on a very cushy yoga mat. I've fucked guys on my desk, on my table, on my floor, on my chairs, in the shower, outside (many times). All locations that don't result in arrest are good locations. All conceivable and attainable positions are good. But, my go to, is definitely missionary. It's best for kissing while fucking it's best for eye gazing while fucking it's best for holding the bottom's face holding the bottoms chest playing with the bottom's nipples and I feel it's the best position for inexperienced bottoms vs the more vaunted "on your stomach" because even though there is perhaps occasionally a bit more rectal resistance, it's only a bit* and that is more than compensated for by the intimacy of being face to face like a couple of Bonobos. *put a pillow under his ass, that helps a lot.
