I don’t care how a guy defines himself. I only care about what he’ll do with and for me in private. As others have mentioned, I enjoy a man who kisses deeply and passionately. And my ideal hire is a muscleboy who‘s ready to bottom for me and suck me off to completion. The closest I’ve had to a “straight” man was a rather handsome and well-muscled personal trainer in Australia. We connected via a mutual friend, met for drinks and he suggested we go to my hotel room for “some privacy”… He did all that I like and after I gave him his money, he went home to his pretty girlfriend and a young baby.

You have great taste in men @LD19847 And @tsgarp his ad states he meets at a rented flat near Marylebone

I asked @tassojunior because maybe you have been there before... maybe you feel it’s like Dubai… maybe you think foreigners are immune... but the laws in the Maldives against homosexuality are quite clear…“up to 8 years imprisonment with the possibility of whippings, house arrest, fines, or deportation”

Have you done this there before @tassojunior? I wonder how it will be viewed in a country whose official state religion is Islam.

I hope the weekend goes well for you @WolfCompanion You say you’re a “little anxious” and you may want to confide that to him. He may also be nervous. What may help you is if you say what matters to you - I’m thinking of a range of things such as I like to eat healthy food, I need at least 7 hours sleep a night, I’d like to have some personal time each day - and perhaps you can ask if he has made plans for you both. And to get it out of the way, perhaps you should ask for half your fee on meeting as it is your first time with him.

+1 @Keith Ambrose describes it well. When I hired, it was for a mid-afternoon or early evening date. I always found bottoms preferred to be pounded before dinner, less so afterwards.

+1 He works and I’m retired. We made some changes: as a ritual, we cook a large Sunday lunch together; we repeat this one midweek evening each week when we prepare a lavish dinner; and we have steadily drunk up all the grand wines I’d stored previously.

It could be the downside of OnlyFans (as far as we’re concerned). Perhaps he’s making enough money of OF and doesn’t see the need to do personal sex work

Some findings published in the UK a few days ago suggest that upto 10% of people who become infected with the virus suffer “long Covid”. Obviously, much more research is planned because of the range of problems suffered by people but I was surprised at the prevalence of long-term issues.

When the escort has bills to pay ?

I guess it’s true that a young man visiting NYC is likely to stay somewhere rather basic, like a hostel or cheap hotel. It’s why I always preferred to meet in my place.

Those guys must need to ingest a lot of protein on a daily basis. And the guy on the extreme right looks awfully like the bodybuilder Diego Sechi

Forgive my ignorance @Oaktown but what would it signify if this cute 21 year old “who likes to do everything” is living in a half-way house?

Oh Yes, @tassojunior I knew about Leo being with Reno. Leo is another ‘str8’ boy who likes to play with a gay boy. Prior to Reno, Leo was busy playing (aka showing cock, masturbating, kissing) with a former model, Andrea Moscon. I’m not sure whether Leo feels he’s fooling us or just fools himself. Leo also used Leo Stuke as his name for some time, but he’s been using Lemento as his surname for over a year now.

More likely, with the global pandemic, they were choosing to sit things out somewhere sunny with good hotels. Bear in mind @NohoDudeNYC the authorities may not like homosexuals but they also dislike nudity and public display. I think it was just over a week ago that 11 Ukrainian female models posed naked for a photo-shoot on a balcony - they were promptly arrested but luckily immediately deported.

A sort of scam. The first few nights went as arranged and he performed well with the guy who’d hired him. But one night later on, some drug (GHB possibly) was put in his fruit juice. As he related to me, he became conscious/realised that he was on a sofa and one man was fucking his mouth while another man was fisting him. He had no memory of these guys joining him in the room, and no memory of consenting to group sex. On the last day, the hirer was uncontactable so he phoned me to ask what to do. I was succinct and told him to get his flight back; he was never paid.

I think @NohoDudeNYC that all the cautionary remarks are justified. In a place where an unmarried heterosexual couple can be arrested and held in jail for exchanging a kiss on the beach, homosexual men have to be very careful to ‘fly beneath the radar’. You do not want to end up in a local prison cell. The only 2 experiences I can relate date from 18years ago. First, a young BelAmi type (sexually versatile, ripped muscled body) working in London was lured there for an all-expenses paid vacation and $7000 a week. I warned him but he was so tempted he didn’t think clearly. As it happened, he got stiffed…not in a good way. Second, my venereologist (now dead) was highly renowned in London and he told me of having to repair a couple of the girls who were badly hurt (by a member of one of the ruling families in the UAE) - he told me that usually the women were hired after dinner and when they left in the early morning, the gay male escorts arrived to take their place.

A member of the ruling family. In American terms @Jarrod_Uncut you might say a Kennedy or a Bush was American ‘royalty’.

I’m sure Reno G will teach Viggo S how to monetise his physical assets very quickly. Incidentally Reno is the cover model for the June issue of Attitude, UK gay magazine.

I agree @Trebor. It’s just my view but I’m fed up with self-proclaimed str8 guys like Nick Sandell trying to make money off gay men. I used to think Nick S was inching his way out of the closet. Now I simply find it tedious that he shows parts of his body for $ but doesn’t do anything. I’ve much more time for an honest-to-goodness sex worker who develops his physique and then uses his body to please his customers for $. IMO escorts offer a much more respectful service to gay men.

I’d turn straight to Ryan Gosling. If he resisted me, and if @LGatton failed, I’d turn straight to Ryan Reynolds. Both men are supremely attractive. But for?

Yes @Pensant. I always describe SA as a small, multiracial first world country surrounded by a much larger, mainly black, third world country. Violent crime is a serious problem. The great beauty of the Western Cape tends to lead visitors to think of it as a paradise...but when home invasions or burglaries occur, it’s unusual to leave witnesses unharmed.

Here’s a link to the main Cape Town newspaper https://www.iol.co.za/news/south-africa/western-cape/it-could-take-more-than-a-week-to-extinguish-table-mountain-fires-0989b23a-526b-493f-94bf-a14db8cf226c For those who don’t know Cape Town, such fires occur each year. The cause of this is alleged to be an “unattended vagrant fire”as various homeless people live on the slopes of Table Mountain and the other mountains that run on from it. This fire is unusual in that I can’t recall anything other than small blazes in these particular areas in previous years. It’s not clear whether the automated anti-fire shutters (to protect the most important part of the historical archives) did close in time. I am surprised there was no coordinated effort to rescue items before the fire took hold. They did organise vehicles etc to take 4000 students from other buildings on the campus. And if you’re a keen gardener, like me, bear in mind that the great botanical garden Kirstenbosch holds a much larger archive of plant materials in a separate research building.

Prague is a beautiful city and well worth visiting. @tassojunior has given you excellent advice @Caliboy95. But if your prime purpose in visiting is to meet attractive guys, be aware that Prague is NOT what it was years ago. The weather in January can be grim (with snow, daytime temperatures around 4C etc). The weather in Spring and early Summer can be lovely but it also means hordes of visitors (mainly German)...who may be competing with you for the limited number of working guys. The guys earn more money abroad so they are keen travellers.

We just watched “Palm Springs”, a movie starring and produced by Andy Samberg. It was funny and stylish. Only 90 minutes long. It uses that Groundhog Day/time-loop idea very well and it has a satisfying resolution. We saw it on Amazon Prime but it’s also billed as a Hulu Original.
