Can someone who's been describe the protocol at Spunk? Is there a cover? How do you pay? What is an appropriate tip? I'm old enough to remember Stella's fondly, but haven't been to any of these current events.

I find my internal ignore function, housed in the scroll button of my mouse, to be very efficient, here and on all social media.

https://www.poppers-aromas.eu/ is based in France but ships to the US. I've found their products to be better than what's available domestically, although with shipping they're expensive and orders take a few weeks to arrive (pending customs). However, no matter where you get poppers, designations like "amyl" are brands, not accurate chemical descriptions. Even if the bottle is labeled with a "Contains ..." indicator, I don't think any government regulator consistently enforces the accuracy of such labels. AFAIK amyl nitrite, the original, is a controlled substance in the US and possibly in Europe. I don't think any small operator is going to risk running afoul of government oversight in such a tiny niche market.

As a consumer of manhattans (rye, not bourbon) and martinis (gin, never vodka) I have to say he's pretty accurate ... 🤪

For the record @Benjamin_Nicholas, I would TOTALLY follow a "Fans" version of "15 Minutes More," just sayin' ...

I agree with @arnie 's comments, with the addition that photos or videos of the session might involve an upcharge. Be sure to mention that request when negotiating the rate.

I have some good experience recently with https://www.poppers-aromas.eu/ Company is based in France, which means the shipping pretty much doubles the cost. However, it's packaged VERY carefully, with full customs declarations. I suppose there is a risk that customs will confiscate the shipment if they don't like it, but I've not had a problem. Their formulations seem to be different than those available in North America, even with the same brand names. More like "the old days" than anything I've gotten from a US supplier.

Indeed, "ethyl" is different that what most people mean by poppers. It's an aerosol gas that is typically sprayed on a piece of cloth and held in the mouth while breathing through it. It has a much more dramatic effect than nitrite poppers, a sensation of nearly losing conciousness. Pretty hardcore for thrillseekers, I found it neither pleasant nor erotic.

I've been called for both state and federal juries, and have served both as a trial juror and state grand juror. Grand jury was easier by far. In NYS you're committed to serve 2 whole weeks, but you have a whole parade of cases every day and decisions are a simple up/down vote on indictment.

ConsumerLab.com is the website of an independent testing lab that analyzes dietary supplements of all kinds. They recently published a report indicating elevated levels of lead in psyllium-based fiber supplements, including the market-leading Metamucil. The full report is behind a paywall so I can't link, but here is the summary: "ConsumerLab.com's tests of the quality of psyllium products revealed that 5 out of 8 were contaminated with excessive amounts of lead — as much as 11 micrograms per 5 grams of psyllium husk (22 times the daily amount permitted in California without a warning label). Lead was found in all products, but those with the least contained only 0.4 to 0.6 mcg per 5 gram serving. One product had an unusually high amount of filth in the form of insect parts. However, all of the products contained their claimed amounts of soluble and insoluble fiber." The brand with the lowest lead contamination in their testing was Yerba Prima (available at Amazon, Whole Foods, health food stores and online supplement retailers). Anyone using Metamucil or generic for occasional constipation may not need to worry about this. But if, like me, you take double the recommended dose every day, in part because of the hygiene concerns discussed on this thread, the presence of heavy metal contamination might be a big deal. Yerba Prima makes a number of related products (including a flavored fiber combo). I use the unflavored, unsweetened, powdered husks in my morning fruit smoothie.

This entrepreneurial website might be of interest to those following this thread. Learned of it through the tweets of favorite David-SF, but they feature the, um, scents of many models ... https://www.malethingsworn.com/profile/david-sfxxx

Several of the models from The Guy Site are amazing prospects but very few seem to hire, at least that I know of.

Nate Stetson is proud of his big caboose, and it serves him well

Ah, but there's the rub. "The sex was fantastic." But for some of us, sex without fresh manscent is like eating a pretzel without salt. Meh, why bother.

Disagree about Jake. Had some memorable sessions with him. Yes, he has a certain ... presence ... but his massages were over and above every time I saw him. I don't think he ever advertised as an escort, his offerings were always in the context of his massage services.

I've lived in a fifth floor NYC walkup for 30+ years, so no, three flights up is not a problem. Comes with the territory. Although you'd do well to let clients know in advance that they have to climb to get to you.

My holistic physician suggested this herbal supplement along with others to help control my blood sugar, hopefully to avoid medication. Won't know if it works for that until March when I see him again. However, when I sought it out to order (3 X 500mg standardized extract) I noticed the manufacturer marketed it to "men wanting to increase testosterone levels." Surprisingly, for the first time since lockdown I'm actually horny again, much to my surprise. Googling a bit, I find references to "increased libido" as a potential side effect. Works for me! Curious if anybody else has experience with this.

Bureaucracy in service of lobbyists for massage schools, and the banks that provide student loans to pay for it. Credential inflation in much professional training is rampant and big bucks for the business of education.

With the availability in the US of generic Truvada, I'm almost certain my insurance will require that over branded Descovy (which is currently covered). Watching for the 2021 formulary to check that. On a PrEP holiday due to COVID, won't go back on until the storm passes, so probably won't need to deal with that until the spring at the earliest.

Denver is also a city and county. And the capital of the State of Colorado. Historically part of the vast Arapahoe County formed by the Kansas Territorial legislature, it was created as a separate city and county in 1901.

Drake Jaden is now a physician in Florida. I guess his porn work helped pay for medical school.

Great list, @Geriatric Otter, jealous of your good times with fine men.

@MikeBiDude I can't speak to your coverage, of course, but in my experience when generic drugs become newly available, my pharmacy manager shifts over automatically unless the prescription is written "Dispense As Written", which I don't think doctors generally do.
