It might also be that younger children feel more free to be different. Many parents are stricter (out of fear that they don't know what they're doing, perhaps) with and have more defined expectations of the first child (in case it's the only one)... so the younger kids are more independent, adventurous and more likely to explore new things.

For those who met him, is that his apartment in the photos, with the bookshelf behind the bed? Because it also appears in the ad for AlejandroMc: AlejandroMc - Pornstar Performer, Rentboy, Gay Massage in New York City, NY | RentMen RENTMEN.EU Pornstar Performer & Rentboy in New York City, NY - AlejandroMc: MASCULINE / DISCREET Are they a couple?

Maybe it was to protect the other guy.

If they fly non-stop to Las Vegas, where prostitution is legal, and then make the argument that they're not taking business away from locals, with testimonials from clients who prefer escorts with foreign accents... they should be allowed in!

What was the story with David Forrest, in the end. Did he set up actual meetings or was it a scam?

Maybe it means "prepaid." (Ad says "2 for 1" which should be the opposite of pricing "per person," but maybe I'm taking things too literally.)

I think the OP issue is about something specific to the Hollywood Hills and other residential areas with sporadic cellphone coverage. The drivers are entirely dependent on the navigation to find their way out of the winding streets, afraid of getting lost or unable to contact you before they pick you up if they lose service, or after dropping you off, and unable to get their next ride after dropping you off... which also would explain why the map shows them not moving (they are moving, but the app isn't updating their position). There was a different problem for awhile in 2021, which was a huge shortage of drivers, long wait times and fewer cars available, so some drivers were dropping requests because of the distance to pickup if a much closer request came in on the other service, but that has largely been resolved now that there are plenty of drivers out there.

I also think our idea about what's handsome changes, influenced by popular media and advertising. We find more beauty because the influence of these is wider and stronger (more present, more engaging) now, so more people aspire to those ideals.

On the diet side: Weight loss is simple math. Drop 500 calories a day, you'll lose 1 lb a week. You don't have to change what you eat, just how much. You can eat the same number of meals a day, just smaller portions. OR you can stop drinking and stop snacking. That would probably get most people there. Finally, eat slower. It takes time for the stomach to tell the brain it's full, so if you eat fast you don't get the message in time.

Are people seriously looking on Grindr for other guys who are in the same gym at the same time? I'm a tech-forward guy who believes iPhones have made our world a better place, but this makes me sad. I have a private trainer who comes to my house. I've been thinking about going back to the gym, but this thread has set back those plans.

The problem with this question is the absolute nature of the question. Aside from some very good points made already (for example, it might not just be that you die earlier, but that you suffer for years before dying if the prostate cancer spreads), there are different treatments and many different outcomes and don't all necessarily involve giving up orgasms or a reduced sex life or satisfaction. Studies show that radiation treatment, for example, results in fewer short term side effects (urinary incontinence, erectile disfunction) but increasing ones over time (as the scar tissue heals). Surgery (removal of the prostate) has a longer recovery, but with gains over time, often maxing out over the next six months to a year. My own experience with surgery: 1. the worst side effects are immediate and then show rapid improvement (didn't love the catheter in for 2 weeks, although grateful it was inserted while I was still in surgery) and only used small, unobtrusive pee pads for another month. 2. The improvement starts fast and then slows down, which made me think I wouldn't fully recover, but somewhere between 6 months and 8 months out, I'm fully functioning (no urinary issues, full erections and satisfying climaxes... with the follow caveats). There are mental adjustments to be made. Sex won't be the same, but that doesn't mean it's not as good. It's taking time to get my head around the lack of ejaculation. Cumming was always a sign of virility, a turn-on, and I was an impressive shooter (over my head... onto the pillow... with multiple ejaculations that strong. Now I have the same climax feeling, but nothing comes out. It's strange, anti-climactic, so to speak. Maybe some people would find this is a benefit (no clean-up; no question about spit or swallow). For me, it's a big mental adjustment. It takes a little longer and more stimulation (physical and mental) to get fully hard. On the other hand, after I climax, my erection stays longer and I'm ready to go again much sooner. I don't feel drained, literally or figuratively. So, I feel hornier and harder right after. Huge plus. For me, it wasn't a choice of longer life or better sex... I likely ended up with both, although both are a little different than they were. Certainly my gratitude for being cancer-free and not thinking about something that might be growing and spreading in my body is powerfully positive. Sexual confidence is still gaining, but shows every sign of being what it was before. Having said all that, I'm 65, in excellent health otherwise, low BMI (6'0 165), fit and generally happy. And I live in a city with excellent hospitals, so the surgery was probably done by one of the best. None of this is meant to replace medical advice or serious research. I just wanted to offer that, in my experience, the question isn't necessarily an either/or proposition.

There should be a more direct link between debt and the asset it's financing. For example, you wouldn't take a 10-year car loan for a car that has a 5-year value life. Stocks and the real estate rental market aren't necessarily in sync. Both can have significant rises and falls, and the causes of those aren't linked (e.g. over building in an area can cause demand to drop, with no connection to how the stock market is doing. So the question is: how long will it take for rental profits to repay the margin loan, how long is the margin loan (many have a specific term, and renewal could be eat a very different interest rate), and how will that timeline change if the rental market changes? So, basically, there's more risk than just a margin call. You could be looking at a prolonged period of zero or negative profit (losses) with a decreasing ability to repay the loan.

I think anything that makes you feel better about yourself will help a lot. I believe a lot of our (esp. gay) sexuality has to do with how we feel about our own bodies. Sure, exercise, fitness, wellness, etc. but there are also so many small ways to see yourself as more physically attractive - clothes, haircut, posture - and more attractive in other ways that really count despite our culture of adonis-obsession - positivity, showing an interest in others and their stories, eye contact, smiling and laughing. I'm not sure that paying for sex will help. It might give you practice and teach you techniques, but it could also backfire and make you question whether the person you're paying is attracted to you. I know that's a controversial statement in this forum, but you're in a vulnerable phase of discovery. And a potentially exciting one!

What does the tattoo say?

I like seeing the masks... they pretty much guarantee the photo was taken within the last two years!

300 £ ? Is that very high for London?

I always thought it was "deep seated," but I like your version better.

I'm thinking that he might be gay, but this is a way to set limits and remove any expectation of more than he wants to offer (in the ad, he says he'll be nude, allows mutual touch and will give you a hand-job release.) That seems a smart strategy. Maybe he's in a relationship and those are the limits they've agreed on...

When traveling and in a new city for a couple days, I usually look around at RM ads to see who's around. If I like someone, I go off-line and send a text to their number, something like "Hey, I'm in your city and would like to meet." 9 times out of 10, no response. If I have time, and find them really attractive, I'll maybe text again, saying something about me (GL, very fit, top, etc.). That never gets a response from those who didn't reply the first time (again, 9 out of 10.) Do you have a better method? Is it me, or just the way the market is these days?

Thank you, Unicorn (and others who responded.) I always respect and value your input to medical discussions here. I have read several studies and am well-advised by doctors in all three areas. There is a particular lifestyle perspective that is also valuable to me - that of sexually active gay men. And even while there are some PRO (patient reported outcome) surveys available, doctors don't always present (or fully know about) the short- and medium-term concerns that patients face undergoing these treatments. Again, I completely agree with you about the dangers of relying on limited and personally biased experiences, but the handful here have already offered me a couple good questions to take back to professional advisors before making a decision. I'm grateful for that!

I'm curious to hear from anyone who has had prostate cancer treated: - which treatment you chose (e.g. surgery, external radiation, brachytherapy (internal radiation) or something else (cryotherapy, hormone treatment, etc.) - how unpleasant was the treatment experience and immediate aftermath (next couple weeks) - how are you doing now (how long ago, whether you suffered side effects and whether those are improving over time) Thanks!

Why Great Barrington? If you're in NY State, isn't weed now legal? Or maybe you're in Vermont? Just curious. I never thought of GB as a weed market.

A few thoughts from inside the business: It takes a lot of belief in yourself to survive the casting calls for both actors and models. You're judged, at first, purely on your looks, nothing deeper, more profound or personal than that. If you actually get to "act," that may change, but you'll still suffer a high percentage of rejections based on the most superficial aspects of who you are. Acting is not a natural talent, not even for those who are considered to be "naturals." Training - voice, movement - will prove out in the end. Getting work as an "extra" is not a great route to acting. The "background" world is so isolated from what's happening on set that you won't even learn that much about how production works. Most extras have no interest in the process or product - they're just doing a day job that offers some scheduling flexibility, better pay and benefits than Starbucks, but also a lot of competition. Maybe in LA, Atlanta and Vancouver there's enough work to pay the rent, but, again, it depends on your look! Most of all, however long someone is willing to pursue this dream, it's essential to have and develop another set of employable skills, whether through education or craft, side jobs or hobbies. By far, the large majority of prospective actors realize that they won't be stars and can't make a living (don't quote me on this, but I believe the statistic is around 90% of SAG members, already a successful milestone, earn at or below the poverty level, and most don't work enough to maintain healthcare eligibility.) You don't want, at age 35 or 40, to embark on a new career with little or no experience, education or skills to offer.

I like "7.1 inches"... that's very precise, considering few people can agree on where to measure from!
