I just wonder @PeterMxM whether that attitude might be related to the current pandemic with hotel management wanting to limit the number of strangers coming into the hotel. I’ve only ever encountered the policy you mention in Latin America (where it is definitely to ensure your safety and security). I dealt with it by always booking a room for 2 guests, saying that I might have a friend staying over with me.

Ah @Whitman, a nice pic of the lovely (and very amenable) Ethan Turnbull

Very interesting post @mike carey

Don’t beat yourself up @nycboi. I bet many of us at one time have fallen a little in love with the wrong guy. I feel it’s easier to understand your reaction to him if you consider this.Your body during sex releases chemicals and hormones. Think of orgasm as a bonding process. Your physical response doesn’t differentiate between a paid encounter (which you had) and making love to Mr Right (who you maybe haven’t met yet).

In essence, yes. Tho whether those featured guys exist IRL is another matter.

My gaydar says the one on the right (with the white sunglasses and the big gold watch) definitely plays bottom in that duo.

I think that’s the River Plate [uSER=3916]@xafnndapp[/uSER]. Colonia del Sacramento is a nice day-trip from Buenos Aires, and I guess you could spend a quiet weekend there. I didn’t know there was any gay scene locally. Certainly, all the social action, glamour and beautiful ocean-beaches are to be found further from Montevideo, with various resorts coming under the heading of Punta del Este.

Best post of the day @JayCeeKy tho I confess I stopped reading after

IME not all Eastern Europeans @orville. The London market offered different nationalities: various Slovak muscleboys who were enthusiastic bottoms; several Estonian muscled guys with a submissive streak; and some fit Polish men with a good work-ethic and eagerness to please. I never met a Russian service-provider so I can’t offer any insight.

At the very least @nycboi he could have sent a simple ’Thank you‘ in response. This lack of regard on his part tells you his only interest in customer service is during the time you’ve paid to be with him.

I just used to send a short text…along the lines of ‘Thank you. I really had an enjoyable time with you. I hope to see you again’. I noticed that the smarter, more customer-service oriented guys used to send me a short text with some complimentary remarks. They were the ones I saw again.

Give him a call and meet outdoors for lunch or coffee. You’ve nothing to lose and you may (re)gain a friend. (Re his problem with contacting you, it’s not a dealbreaker. Incidentally I don’t contact anyone on their landline as I message very often and call on my smartphone)

Relax @Axiom2001. It’s a very old pic of a young man who worked for BelAmi years ago. IIRC his name was Julien or something similar.

Just to add - as pure speculation - I wonder what has happened to Nick recently. To me, his cock looks semi-hard as if he’s just climaxed recently. Certainly, in the last 2 weeks, he‘s been photographed naked (with his cock out) more often than in the last several years.

I agree as I’d want to pump that bubble-butt @marylander1940. I guess tho that I’d be willing to let Nick suck my cock. And for those who haven’t seen the very recent pics of Nick nude outdoors https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1wswu-icTETi3Yys7Csqrb3HKAG5dOnI9

I don’t dispute that he’s handsome, and I prefer him in his slimmed-down form now. I was teasing you about not posting his new nude pic (outdoors at home, that he posted very recently) as you’re normally so swift ;-)

To quote Google: slang, a woman who accompanies a homosexual man to give the impression that he is heterosexual

That’s his beard @Trebor

I’m shocked @marylander1940. You seem to be flagging in your devotion to Nick Sandell. Is something wrong? I ask because I noticed that he finally inched just that bit further out of the metaphorical closet and he went ‘full frontal’. And for the curious, it’s decent but nothing amazing.

@Ajac was that when you first realized you have ‘come-to-bed’ eyes? ;-)

My 2 cents: you had an argument with a man that you’ve been “dating of sorts” for a short time. I’m not sure it’s helpful to allocate fault. You had transactional sex with this man. Then you went on to enjoy more sex with him, and you say you did “things outside of sex” together. So the boundaries became very blurred. Did either of you say anything about having feelings for the other man? He moved to Texas for 6-8 weeks for work. You say he could only spare 1 day if you went to see him there. It’s not clear who suggested you visit. At this stage, you’re definitely not ‘partners’; you’re just dating each other and it’s not exclusive because of your work. If it was your idea, then I feel you should offer to pay the cost of going there. If it was his idea that you visit, I’d expect him to offer to pay your travel costs. I certainly don’t agree with the last paragraph of your original post, essentially that gay men are unreasonable. I also don’t think that gay men are too sensitive or likely to take offence. Money is the major cause of disagreement among heterosexual couples (according to marriage/relationship counselors that I know). I can tell you that the reason I fell so hard 6 years ago for the young man I live with is that he bought me gifts, arranged surprise trips, insisted on picking up the dinner-check etc. These may seem small things but, as an older man, I had become used to thinking first of the younger man and used to always paying. His caring for me and his actions made me realise how much I wanted an equal relationship. I feel you have to draw clear and strong boundaries around your work (transactional sex) and your dating life (where sex and everything else has to be mutually negotiated) if you are to avoid future arguments and conflict.

How dare you @Trebor. You’re speaking about my future ex-boyfriend. He’s a lovely guy; he was a football jock and had to slim down to become a model.

Thanks @Whitman - I hadn’t seen that pic and it’s always good to see Alex smiling

If there was some difficulty or problem with the experience @Palidod, I think it can usually be discussed here without naming the guy. IIRC I’ve seen brief comments such as ‘I had a great time with (name of the guy). For more details, DM me’. A similar approach might be ‘I’d told him beforehand I’m a top/bottom but he said he wasn’t able to bottom for me/top me - what should I have done?’

He fills those briefs beautifully @Whitman
