Two months ago I rented one of my apartments to a porn couple. Now if I see them fucking hot guys on twitter, I’m distracted wondering whether they screwed that mirror into the wall.

I spent a week in Santo Domingo a few years ago, and I loved it. I do not speak any Spanish, and that was a bit of a challenge sometimes; but mostly it was fine. Remember that lots of Dominicans travel back and forth to NY, so a fair number of people speak some English. I never felt unsafe walking around, but I am a fairly cautious person and probably avoided anything risky without even thinking about it. I went out to two gay bars while I was there, both fine, neither of them anything special. Dominican men are very handsome and sexy; I was in heaven just looking.
 
You have to leave town to go to the beach, I think. I spent a day at Boca Chica, which is not far from SD, not at all glamorous, and quite cheap - lots of budget hotels aimed at European travelers. Boca Chica is where I experienced the only really bad thing about the trip: endless hawkers walking the beach, constantly trying to sell you something. I got that a little bit in the city, with tour guides and vendors aggressively offering their goods and services. But at Boca Chica it was nonstop, including many prostitutes (only women, unfortunately). The only way to avoid that is to make arrangements to spend the day at a hotel with an enclosed beach - it does not fend off all the vendors, but cuts down on the traffic a bit.
 
I did not have sex while I was in Santo Domingo, although I was approached a couple of times on the street in SD by guys who were clearly available for the right price. I was staying in a place where it would have been awkward to bring someone back to my room. A week is probably too long to stay there, but I definitely recommend it if you're looking for something a bit more adventurous than the typical resort vacation. There are caves with cave paintings not far outside of town; I would love to get to see them sometime (and I would definitely hire a guide for something like that).

I have a better question, in terms you may appreciate better: Cur vis similis assino videri?
 
Your inability to see why what you said was offensive says a lot about you. And your further inability to accept that it was offensive after having it pointed out says even more. You might likewise ask why you want to bury your own head in the sand on that matter.

I stayed at the Room Mate Valentina hotel on Amberes (where there are several gay bars). I requested a room on a high floor after reading online about how noisy the street can be at night (with all the clubs), and that worked out well. The room was clean and comfortable, the staff were helpful, and they did not hassle me about bringing guys up to my room.
 
I had a good time at BB Show Bar on my second visit, when I hired Adriano (great escort/masseur - review submitted) to translate for me. I had gone on my own earlier in the trip; I don't speak Spanish, and that made it too hard to chat or negotiate private dances with the strippers. Adriano was a great translator and go-between, as well as good company.
 
I hired several guys while I was there, all from either mileroticos.com or rentmen. Prices seemed to range between US$75 and US$150; I think you could negotiate lower prices, probably. I had 3 really good experiences, one so-so (but that one was a combination of language barrier and me not having been clear in advance about what I wanted).
 
I love Mexico City. The metro is really easy to use, there are great museums, good gay scene, and it's so cheap. Can't wait to go back.

This was all I needed.

I am sorry people are missing the real issue here. Mrbeefymuscles is your avatar a pic of you?

OK, team members...he's legit, pictures are accurate, but the photographer is a real pro. Very little English, willing if more exuberant than professional

Everyone is welcome to make their own choices but when I hear things like “I know them” to insinuate that they are safer is a mistake. I’ve had COVID and was around people “I knew”. Fortunately symptoms didn’t require a hospital visit and now I have antibodies. But if I am with a stranger or even someone I know who is also seeing multiple other strangers up close, I’d want him to wear a mask.

How many Fortune 500 companies that posted a billion a quarter in profit. They can’t survive two weeks and need to be bailed out. It’s funny what we expect from normal people isn’t the same for multi billion corporations. I thought corporations are people??

Cabaret L'Expose in Montreal appears to be optimistic about their post-Covid 19 chances. They just posted pictures of the renovations they have been making to the club, along with the new shirts they'll be selling. I hope they're right!

It's just their COVID19 closure announcement that they're shutting down temporarily. The last line says "hoping to see you again as soon as possible."
 
Did they just post this? They must have been closed for weeks.

They're not a charity. What do you expect them to do? Their mailing list I would imagine isn't so large that they can make it cheap right off the bat and I don't expect them to do something where they are sure to lose money. Maybe as they do more of these there will be sufficient numbers they can lower the price and still turn a profit. Or maybe the "Adonis experience" simply doesn't transfer to a webshow and it's not worth the effort to them. They're trying something in response to customer requests.

This forum is going to be awfully quiet if you gentlemen choose to remain hard-headed. The inconsistencies in the news should be enough for one to stop hiring, tentatively. I couldn't forgive myself if I took a client to then find out he fell ill (and died) because I was asymptomatic. Or..if I was a client and a few days later was on a ventilator (or not, because they're running out) all because I just needed to get my rocks off. Imagine being that thirsty. It can wait. It's not the end. I just encourage everyone to take a time-out. Porn and a good lubricant are your friend. I don't trust my health in the hands of a client, regular or not.

At least telling “lonely john” to contact the escort again with a new or different identity is better advice & more palatable than your other habit - searching for ancient ads that might still be online from guys that get your interest & hoping that they will agree to accepting a published rate from xx# of years ago.....for a few reasons, that just seemed a bit weird as well as being a time-waster on your part.....you admitted to having just 1 single success with this approach after what seemed like a lot of effort & research by yourself

I watched the show on-line for about 90 minutes on Saturday night. I was impressed with how much muscle was on display. There was not a single repeat dancer during the time that I watched so I guess they had a lot of guys working that night. The club itself did not look that busy but the January through March period is typically their slowest time of the year. Calvin was the biggest of the guys I saw. Phillipe is back and bigger than even. He looked too bloated to me however. A newer latino Rico was looking good. Regulars Franco and Zack were in attendance....and looking good. I didn't see Jasper, Malick, Tyson, or Tommy but they could have been there since I did not see all the dancers on stage. Good to see that Stock can attract such an array of muscle talent even in the depths of January.

I have had that experience, too, when all my communication with the masseur was via text (my preferred method). When I really want to post a review, I just exchange a couple of emails through the site with the provider (after the fact, and explaining why I am doing it). That seems to work, and I am able to post a review..

In dollars? My guess: -6%. ?

Thats not what I said but if that was your takeaway....you’re simple minded. Congratulations.

Depends on comfort/trust level between the escort and client, and if it’s mutual.

I'm sure he was at one time.

He's 40?

I had a great massage from Aleks on Friday. Nice guy, good massage technique, very attractive, very sexy. I will definitely see him again.

A “punch card system” sounds even worse, we’re not selling frozen yogurt.

I once had a masseur attempt to turn my orgasm into a therapy session. I needed to be louder, more animal-like, cumming isn't supposed to be polite, growl, roar, let it all out. It was jarring and bizarre (and distracting), considering the rest of the massage had been perfectly normal. I will not be repeating with him.
