Looks great, hope to visit some day

If I send messages, I'm very careful, I would write something like "Do you meet generous fans in real life?". The guys who are into that, know exactly what that means.

But have you gotten responses to that on OF?  The OF platform TOS police know exactly what that means, too, and it's what they are looking for.  If the CC responds at all he could be banned.  Better to DM on Twitter, Insta, etc.

A note on contact via Only Fans (not JFF or any of the others), as I understand it the platform enforces a strict policy against any discussion via messaging of in-person meets with content creators.  If the CC even replies to tell you that, they could lose their account and any money due them, without recourse.  I've read many tales of woe online (mostly by women) where CCs have been banned without warning because of a relatively innocent chat.  You might want to take discreet inquiries to other social media platforms.

I assume the ad sites collect and verify accurate ID info from advertisers, primarily to be sure the site gets paid for the ad.  This would include legal name and address, DOB, citizenship, CC info, etc.  All of that is behind the scenes.  What goes IN the ad is up to the advertiser.  Parsing ads for inconsistencies seems silly, they probably could be found on every ad there and are of no concern to the site.

There's always a "cat and mouse" aspect of erotic massage, to me it's why it's fun. A lot of providers will recoil from too many explicit "do you do this, do you do that" inquiries, especially from a new unknown client. If that's what you want, escort service is what you're seeking, at appropriate rates. As has been attested here many times, repeat visits with a masseur you click with often improves the experience, as provider and client both get to know each other's boundaries and expectations. Loading a lot of expectations on a first, possibly one-off, visit will often lead to frustration.

Agree that Pasha is an excellent masseur, the real deal. He has noticeably put on muscle in the past few years and really looks great.

See him for the massage and eye candy, not for any extras because there won't be any.

With his ad taken down so soon after your meet, it seems likely the provider had already decided to leave "the business," for reasons unknown to us, and having nothing to do with you. He might simply have not wanted to keep the appointment but didn't have the kishkes to flat-out cancel. That doesn't justify behavior, of course, but might be of some comfort that you simply engaged the wrong escort at the wrong time, and your interaction was collateral damage to his life choices in the moment. Chalk yet another one up to experience.

Small metallic implants under the skin of the penis are called Yakuza beads, among other names.  They may not be featured often by providers, but are not that unusual among fetish players. Like all piercing/genital mod styles, they are used to heighten sensation and focus attention on the goods. In some configurations they may provide an enhanced sensation to a bottom sex partner. Think ribbed dildoes or sleeves.

Hi Ziggy, welcome to the forum!!

Erotic interaction for money is illegal in NYC and almost all parts of the US.  A business openly facilitating such a thing is likely to be raided and its staff prosecuted.  Discretion is a virtue for posters on this public message board describing private interactions, which I think you'll see if you read some of this very long thread.  To the point, there is no business in NYC where a customer "can expect" more than the legitimate massage he's paying for.

Ad is expired, and has him based in Brazil.  It also says he speaks English and French.  The real Pigboy has been around forEVER, is Czech and based in Central Europe (although he certainly travels).  While he very well may meet with fans when he wants to or it serves his purposes in the moment, I doubt this is a legit ad.

Had a really great massage there.  Nothing beyond that in my experience.  I'd return just for the massage.

Looks like a chain of "strictly legit" day spas pitched mainly to women, and likely staffed by same.  Were you able to request a masseur, rather than a masseuse?

i didn't know that pneumonia only hit people of a certain age.

Not pneumonia generally, which is a symptom not a disease, and can have many causes.  The vaccines are specific to multiple strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae, which most impacts the very young and very old.  The vaxes also have limited efficacy, especially over time, hence the age restrictions.  They also seem to be evolving with R&D and clinical experience, along with the recommendations for use.  As always ... "ask your doctor."

I, too, have noticed profiles for former advertisers appear on RM as inactive long after they've moved on. Obviously RM wants to pad its onscreen offerings, but this seems weirdly unfair to providers. (Imagine that, on the internet!) Worse, RM has a banner inviting clients to pay for a renewal for the advertiser. What if he doesn't WANT to renew! I wonder if RM honors requests by lapsed advertisers to delete their profiles altogether. Anybody know?

Regarding the CDC cards, in NYC Walgreens said bring your card, but nobody asked for it and this round wasn't recorded on it. They did ask verbally when my last booster was. If you've gotten previous from the same provider, they should have that record, but my guess is the cumbersome hand-written cards have been abandoned, the crisis conditions that gave birth to them having passed.

Makes me regret not downloading them and I completely understand porn hoarders now.

Lol, never saw the term "porn hoarder" before but I guess I fit the bill!  All porn is ephemeral, there today, possibly gone tomorrow.  That's fine because by its nature, porn is completely disposable, watch it once and delete.  I try to delete at least as fast as I acquire because there are only so many TBs in the universe for storage.  But anyone who enjoys porn knows there are those special moments onscreen that we want to revisit later, sometime much later, and I keep gems in my collection that date to the 80s and even earlier, just because.

I got my (seventh!) COVID last week, scheduled super-duper old-man flu for next week. Waited on the flu simply because last week was a little early in the "season" for the NE US. Asked my doc about RSV, he was kinda meh, you don't really need it. The illness is (usually) mild, there is some concern about triple-threat COVID-Flu-RSV co-infections, but if vaxed for the other two that's probably really unlikely. It's also brand new in broad use, best to avoid version 1.0 of things, absenting a true public health emergency like COVID. Aside from age, I have no high-risk factors and a blessedly limited history of infectious disease of any kind.

Obviously everyone's different though.

is there any talk about side effects from this round? want to be mindful about when i schedule mine!

I have always had a bad day after, feeling flu-ish and generally blech. I assume this time will be the same.

More specifically, I have had no reaction at all except for 4 hrs. beginning 24 hrs. after injection.  For that small window of time I've felt like death warmed over, but then it passes completely. Weird, I figured it was only me, but I've seen similar stories posted online, so maybe not. In any case, whatever you've experienced before will probably repeat, I haven't seen anything about new side-effects.

Just booked mine in NYC for first week Oct.  Will get the super-duper old man flu shot later in Oct, timing seems key for that and it's a bit early for northeast coast flu cycles.

Had 2 COVID boosters last fall because they gave me the wrong one at first.  Hope we get it right this year.

No, there are and have been very few actual stars in the pornographic firmaMENT (as the great Lina Lamont might say).  As in mainstream media, a "star" is a performer whose mere presence in the enterprise brings in a substantial fan base as paying customers.  In the days of 16mm filmed porn it was topline performers, then box cover images on VHS and DVD formats.  Now with everything online, awareness of any performer is tied to his social media and fansite presence.  That's not really stardom in my book.  Maybe "Top 1%" and similar tags indicate popularity, but it's really more about productivity, and from all reports that kind of stardom is very ephemeral.

To paraphrase a great lady of the screen, "they had FACES then."

Was there several weeks ago for a groin grooming.  Good experience, very professional, but strictly business.  If you're looking for some kind of "extras" I doubt you'll find them there.

Porn gets made that sells to somebody, it's purely market driven, good intentions aren't gonna bring in paying subscribers. 

That said, there's something out there for everybody, especially in this age of post-studio era, do-it-yourself porn. I personally have always found conventional commercial porn, and the men hired to perform in it, deadly dull, of no real interest at all. I certainly have never paid for it. There's plenty of porn out there featuring performers similar to every one of the models shown at the top of this thread. (With the exception, perhaps, of the model whose features suggest Down Syndrome.) The markets for "niche" performers are obviously smaller, but they certainly exist.

Somebody just revived the venerable "Bear Magazine" brand, which was seen as game-changing in the late-80s. It was the first time a commercial producer really stepped outside the presumed tastes of gay porn customers of the time, and was met with runaway success.

Why wouldn't they just delete it?

I can't speak for his husband, but I suspect he's monitoring business accounts Bryan maintained simply to communicate the sad news as broadly as possible.  Bryan might have used the RMs (Men and Massage) as well as other accounts to communicate with clients.

Do we know if the family needs help with any arrangements etc? Or have they suggested donations to any causes that may have been important to him?

His husband (who goes by the name Snake) has been active on social media (FB, Twitter) on Bryan's accounts.  He doesn't have accounts of his own, knows little about social media and I believe is generally not known among Bryan's wide-ranging contacts.  He's understandably stunned and just trying to get his bearings.  Offers of help, suggestions of memorials, directed giving, etc., have been made online, but I think it will be a while before he can sort it out.  He's trying.

This is so sad. I've seen Bryan a number of times over a number of years in NYC. He was always sweet and generous, both as a provider and as a person. He traveled often, which meant he was off somewhere when I was looking to hire, but I was always glad when our schedules meshed. He was passionate about the comic books he authored. I'm not sure they ever got the traction he hoped for, but he pursued a few editions to publication. Among the many lives he touched and enriched, I believe he was close to his bio-family in NYC. I'm sure his sudden exit at such a young age has broken many hearts.  RIP, sweet man.

I think there's a difference here between client and provider.  OP, as a client you set your desired parameters.  Provided you are clean and not overly-perfumed (we've all encountered people who take it waaaay too far), I think it's your prerogative to groom for your meet as you see fit.  Providers OTOH need by default to provide a blank slate to accommodate client preferences, as discussed above.  In the west, underarm deodorant marketers have convinced us all that we stink to high heaven without daily (or more) application of their products.  I guess the default for providers would include deo, unless otherwise specifically requested by the client, but I think cologne, body oil or other artificial scents are a bad idea, again unless the client has made a specific request in advance.

There are, of course, providers whose brand includes a well-developed natural scent, but I guess that's a niche.  This topic is often addressed in the ads of more thoughtful providers.

I'm a scent pig, I love musky pits and asses and bushes and foreskins on a fit, younger guy in an erotic scenario.  But context is everything, and same can be off-putting, even repulsive, in a social situation or on the subway or in any other non-sexual setting.
