Me too. He's absolutely sexy. Goofy/sexy.

Ha. Funny :-) Honestly, Were I to give you a non-erotic massage and then you had a massage from my guy, I doubt you would be able to tell he's better than I am at massage therapy. The only reason I know he is is because I'm a masseur too, so I can detect the differences, small as they may be.

I'm an excellent escort and masseur, but I don't look like him. Jesus, he's got..whatdya call them? Cumgutters.

Oral without a condom is one of those things most of us, myself included, tell ourselves is ok but, given the prevalence of antibiotic resistant gonorrhea and chlamydia, certainly is not. And so the next best alternative is to get tested, regularly.

Epi, I also recommend the extra step of driving somewhere else. Not because a change in scenery might boost your mood, it won't. But because I don't want you walking somewhere where the ground is so uneven that you have to look down constantly. You seem very self-aware, and you know that any kind of fall, after 75, can be catastrophic. Someone I'm very close to took a "tumble" at age 78, and the rest of his life will be severely impacted. Either walk in your house, or drive to a flat surface. That would be my recommendation. BTW I fully recognize that you started this thread more to vent and commiserate than to seek advise, yet you are a good man and we are concerned for your health. And also, men, gay and straight, live for giving advise. As Seinfeld said, if you see two men talking, you are almost guaranteed that one is explaining something to the other. Stay safe.

wow. Really Really great smile. That's the smile we all wish we could give.

Don't know why I'm piling on this thread. My masseur is straight and he charges more than I do, and we went to the same massage school. It's hard for me to say why, but as good of a masseur as I am, and i do have hundreds of hours of training and 15 years of experience, he is a better therapeutic masseur than I am. My point is that not all non-erotic masseurs are equal. if a masseur, like my guy (non nude and non erotic), is especially skilled and/or trained he has every right to charge a lot. I would never give up my straight masseur no matter what other extras I could get from a gay guy. My masseur does not advertise on gay sites. Now, as to why other masseurs, unwilling to give extras, would advertise on a site that caters to extras, they're simply being opportunistic. Competition is fierce.

I know you're joking. Seriously, though, do not support Massage Envy, they pay their Masseurs horribly. Or, if you do go, Tip the masseurs directly, do not include the tip on the final bill. And please tip them as if you were seeing them privately. Those guys are definitely taken advantage of, I remember a friend of mine saying "I have a master's degree and I'm being forced to fold towels and sheets, for free, on my off time."

I wish I could say it was Jason Bateman: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000867/ But it was Ricky Schroder. I guess I liked the cleancut ones when I was a young one. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005401/

When RentBoy and MassageM4M doubled down on really sticking it to the escorts, charging as much as monthly $300 and $200 respectively, I would often run a search to see how many of my new clients recntly arrived from either site, and if it was a low number, I'd let my membership lapse for a few months. Rentmasseur and RentMen are much more respectful in their billing than RentBoy and MassageM4M ever imagined being, so even now When I'm not seeing clients, it makes sense to support them and support myself by continuing to list. Seriously, fuck you RentBoy and Massagem4m.

Here's my story: https://www.advocate.com/politics/commentary/2006/07/17/your-service In the article, I was coy about "when"; it was 1999.

I definitely follow up with a HELLO SAILOR kind of email when someone views my private photos, but not simply my profile, regardless of where he is located. It just seems polite and good business.

I have always felt bad when clients start emails or texts by saying something like, "I hope you don't mind clients over the age of XXX", because it indicates to me that they've encountered escorts who do not become excited by older clients, and that's unfortunate.

Smog is the thing I like least about East Asia Travel, Breakfast is the second. I basically just eat fruit and instant coffee.

Wonderful story Charlie. Congratulations and Thank you for sharing it.

When you first told this story years ago I pasted it into my journal because I loved it and didn't want to forget it. I need not have bothered, in the interim I've thought of it many times.

no, thank you. I'll look into it.

The name of the song is "K**Ds" so, yes, Youtube makes the still-image that you press to start the video a C***D the picture because it's the start of the video. I can't control that Youtube Did that. But, as I said, I'm done sharing music. I'm not arguing . As far as I'm concened the conversation and the incident are over.

Actually, I'm out of the music business. I got chastised that one of my songs wasn't appropriate. Though I would have fun contributing to the MC again, it'd been a long while. Have fun on the musical train with out me.

If anyone saw Billions tonight, you'll know why I'm thinking of this song:

Young and ENERGIZED

It's OK to be angry.

I don't suppose anyone would be surprised that I like fucking to this song. Funny thing, when I listen to this song I just feel cooler, I feel taller. It's the kind of song that imbues confidence in the listener, though I'm not sure how.

This song has always done it for me. And the video is fantastic.
