  2. There seems to be a mini-trend among hairy content creators to keep back hair intact. In the day, it would always be shaved or waxed, but now I see a lot of muscle bear types letting nature be. For myself, I had some back hair in my 20s and 30s, which I hated. Went through the Nair phase (awful) and finally started having it waxed. After time it just stopped growing.

    Agree about Ed, one of the hottest transguys out there
  5. Sean Maygers appeared in a number of musclebearporn vids with the Angells, Will & Liam. The text on the site suggested there was some sort of "throuple" arrangement. (Keeping in mind, or course, this is porn, hence everything is a performance.) That would have been in NC when the Angells were based there. The arrangement seems to have ended amicably, eg "Sean's Last Video." The Angells have since relocated to Palm Springs, but I haven't seen SM in videos since the NC days. As happens, real life might have reared its sometimes ugly head to force a withdrawal from sex/vid work. Or, as OFTEN happens, the provider may have simply turned a page in his life and rebranded, leaving sex work and "Sean Maygers" behind for new pursuits.

    Def somebody I'd like to hire if he ever came to NYC ...
  7. Until today I was able to download JFF content for guys I follow using the Video Downloadhelper addin for Firefox. Now it's not working, the download seems to be blocked. VDH still works with other content, although I haven't tried it lately with OF as I'm not following anyone there. I've tried various workarounds to no avail. Anyone else experiencing this? I much prefer JFF to OF, but will not pay to follow content I cannot download, so may have to change loyalties if indeed they have found a way to block downloading.
  8. Charlie, I think it's fair to say the Everard was in a completely different category
  9. "Hangover horn" is real for some people. I think it relates to generalized anxiety that can be a symptom (among many) of alcohol withdrawal.

  11. I think it was the other way around, Old Reliable was "old school" in his selection of models. Hurles was a friend and protege of Bob Mizer, whose long-running Athletic Model Guild (founded 1945!) was the largest and most durable of "physique photographer" studios post-WWII. AMG recruited young men "on the move" in LA, in need of cash and with little to lose. A series of court challenges in the 60s and 70s decriminalized "obscenity," opening the way to more mainstream commercial porn production and marketing, away from the realm of peepshows and mob control and plain brown wrappers. Thus came Target, Falcon, Colt, etc., in the 70s and 80s, following the lead, of course, of the much larger straight porn industry in Southern Cali. Old Reliable was something of a throwback to those earlier days (Hurles and Mizer shared a number of models), with the notable innovation of home video and audio recordings into the mix. I doubt Stonewall, which only became a "thing" over the course of the 70s through the efforts of gay rights activists, would have even been on the radars of any of the men involved in gay porn production, either in front of or behind the camera.

  12. In the case of DaddyPhoenixXXX, one has to wonder why take the bandwidth to express that particular restriction? Gay- or bi-identified transmen make up the tiniest of demographics. Of that tiny subset, how many seek to hire providers? How likely is it that a transman would ever approach him as a potential client? There may be a backstory here that we don't know of course. Perhaps some encounter with a man without a penis so traumatized the provider that he feels compelled to shout to the universe, never again! But as has often been discussed in these pages, we all have preferences and biases, both providers and clients, and there are kind and respectful ways of honoring them. They don't have a to be explicitly expressed as a condition of engagement.
  13. Two caveats about Costco that snagged me last summer when I joined just to get the hearing aids. One, they are out of network for insurance purposes. If you have coverage for hearing aids, as I do, you may run into an unmet out of network deductible, as I did. My mistake, but I was OOP an unexpected $600 to satisfy that deductible. Second is that Costco accepts Visa cards only. If you shop there regularly you know that, but I don't and was planning on a nice cash back rebate from another card that wasn't possible.
  14. I second the Costco rec. I understand they no longer offer their popular house-brand Kirkland Signature, but they do still offer several other name brands at steep discounts. And the test is free! The new availability of OTC hearing aids will rock the industry, and likely Costco's marketing will change, but for now I think it's the best deal out there for prescription aids.
  15. Word comes of the death on 4/12 of David Hurles aka "Old Reliable," who pioneered real world gay porn in the 70s and 80s, featuring rough LA street trade showing and jacking, rather than the sleek, well-groomed models then in vogue in commercial porn. He was in the vanguard of home video producers, selling his homemade VHS tapes very early on in the home vid revolution by mail and eventually through distributors. As a young gayling I was obsessed and tantalized by some of his models.

  16. Markets vary, of course, but that's a crazy price for a simple pedicure. I get one every 5 weeks in NYC for $40 which includes a generous tip. Your provider might be offering a "spa" treatment including polish for that price, but you might inquire about a basic pedicure. Most places offer a manipedi combo for less than the two services separately.
  17. Was just there as a client with a new provider last week, on the 5th floor I believe. The space was small but functional (difficult for the provider to freely move around the table). The air was strongly scented with citrus, not objectionable per se, but the intensity was a bit much. It's a "legit" space where providers and clients are mostly women, which I don't really care about but I did get some looks. My provider was VERY chatty for 90 mins., and didn't do much to moderate his voice, or his very sexual patter. That's a topic for a different post, but when I left the room, three women were standing right. there. at a computer station. I'm pretty sure the soundtrack of my session was widely overheard. Again, I didn't so much care, if anything that's a problem for the provider, but those more concerned with discretion might be put off. As with many others, this provider is a refugee from the 14th St spaces, and I'm afraid the atmosphere there has spoiled us for very different facilities in the city.
  18. I dunno, as a client with a new guy I usually provide basic stats (height, weight, body type) and a headshot, usually after the appointment is made. I do this because if roles were reversed, I think I'd want some idea of who was showing up at my door. And as @DWnyc indicates above, if anything about me makes a provider not want to see me, I'd rather save the fee to spend elsewhere. (I hasten to add that my perspective is from a position of privilege. Nobody is going to reject me because my ancestry is mostly Irish. Men of color, with disabilities or other special considerations have a completely different experience of bias, and I acknowledge that.) I absolutely don't expect comments or compliments on my appearance, that's not why I send it. However, I take the comments from providers above to heart, and may have to rethink my policy if it comes off creepy or needy on my part.
  19. No specific recs, but I think if you filter the sites by age, say 40 or 45+, and select and communicate carefully, you'll get guys who are experienced in that kind of role. Based in SF and AFAIK no current plans to be in NYC, you might want to watch for a visit by AllenSI: Sacred Intimate WWW.ALLENSI.COM Allen S.I. Sacred Intimate one of the original "daddy" stars of the silver screen, he still sees clients and is a wonderful man to spend time with.
  20. No means no. I'm not inclined to be confrontational IRL, but have never had a problem pushing back as firmly as necessary in a sexual situation when unwanted advances weren't satisfied with a polite decline. One thing about bath houses, and to an extent any kind of group sex event, is that people are not always on good behavior. When everybody ELSE seems to be having sex, the little head starts to overrule the big head, and often alcohol or drugs are in the mix, clouding judgement.
  21. Why would I care? I show up on time, clean, respectful and sober. Pay as agreed, tip if warranted. That makes me a 10 in this world, regardless of how the provider plays off the clock.
  22. Hi nbtuc, welcome to the forum! Just a note, if your plan is to top your provider, you're looking for an escort session, not a massage. Many providers, including the fine suggestions FrankR makes above, offer both services, but at different price points. Clear communication on both sides when booking is important.
  23. Right or wrong, to me in this context PNP means meth meth and only meth. Other "party drugs" (of which I admittedly have no first-hand experience) don't provide the quick, intense, sex-enhancing high of methamphetamine. Meth addiction is a major scourge among gay men, and its use is largely tied to sex. Recovering addicts often say they cannot experience sex sober like it was when they were using, and have to learn all over again how to enjoy sex without the high. It's hardly surprising to see it featured one way or another among providers and on the hookup apps. That is NOT to assume that any provider advertising PNP is an addict or otherwise deeply involved with the drug. Doubtless there are clients who wish to use during sessions and want a provider who is cool with that, but it does indicate that the conversation is open to whether and how meth might factor into any encounter. For me, it's absolutely a big old red flag.
