No info here, but wow, craigslist! There's a blast from the past!!

A quick Google produces this, which includes Dr. Foshee, Dermatologist (and maybe others). You probably prefer a male provider, but advertising to an LGBT etc population as she is, you can be sure you're not bringing her anything she hasn't seen before. https://www.pride214.com/gay-friendly-doctors "Asking around" is important, too. Gay friends, other providers (like a PCP), community support resources, hell ask your favorite bartender. Gay men are hardly under-represented among dermadocs, there are probably dozens in practice in a huge metroplex like DFW.

And using Google Images, it seems the pictured model's name is Raymond Zommer

Google Images is still available and functional for me in the US, using Firefox, Edge and Chrome. It may be country specific if you're not US-based, or using a VPN that puts you in the US. I know that doesn't answer your question about an alternative, but I doubt there is one as the technology relies on Google's amassing and cataloging, well, everything in the known universe.

In NYC at least, there is a great difference between the services of a masseur in a spa setting, where a generous tip is appropriate and expected (100% of the fee or more, depending on the quality of the service), and the services of any provider in a private setting, where the provider is getting the entire agreed upon fee. I might add a bit to the fee for a masseur or escort who goes the extra mile, ahem, but I don't feel any need to tip someone who provided service at an agreed price for $180-$300 or more for an hour.

ThisVid.com You can make your uploads private and only "friends" that you approve can see them. The site player does not allow downloads. However, AFAIK anything that can be streamed to a computer can also be downloaded/saved using one of many third-party browser add-ins. In my experience the bandwidth for the site is often trafficky and trying to stream from there is very stop-and-go. Sometimes a download is the only way to watch vids smoothly, especially longer ones. Also, some of the content posted there is REALLY raunchy, there doesn't seem to be much moderation, so you're in wild territory.

I do think this is a trend in GBTQ etc etc spaces of all kinds (can't speak to the L part, as that's fraught for a lot of reasons, and not my wheelhouse). The promoter of the monthly naturist event FCGN in NYC is clear in promotion that all bodies and expressions are welcome and safe there. Now it's a social, not sexual, event which of course matters, but it's fundamentally pitched at gay/bi men. When I have gone it's been mostly cis/homo, but there have been a few women, transfolk and various gender expressions in attendance (and naked). I've also been to sex events where transmen were present (discreetly, wearing shorts of some kind, and not active in the play), and have received notices of other sex parties that make it clear that gender variance is respected. As an older GM, I think maybe some of us get cranky because what we want no longer wants us very much. Fair enough. But I'm mindful not to project that on younger people, who have a very different life experience and worldview, which includes a broadening view of sex and gender.

In the boner sweepstakes market, Levitra (vardenafil) runs a distant third in popularity after Viagra (sildenafil) and Cialis (tadalafil). As others have suggested, it probably just isn't in your drug plan formulary while the other two are, at least as generics. My plan lets me check plan prices online, you might want to run the others by your plan and see what you would pay. I pay $5 for 18X20mg tadalafil, which I can refill every three months by mail order. I quarter the 20s, yielding 72 daily doses.

Reading this again, there's a LOT missing from this "police blotter" report ... The incident happened almost 8 month ago. It took an 8-month investigation to get to an arrest? This is what the Miami-Dade prosecutors spend their time doing? Why was the arrest at 3 in the morning? On a FELONY assault charge?? And he's held in custody without bond?? The therapist has been licensed since 2011 (when he would have been 19 yo). Not new on the block. Hard to imagine he wasn't scrupulous about "extras," especially if booked through a mainstream site. Of course, the scenario immediately suggests gay panic, where the client was into it until he freaked out about it. As others suggest above, how did we get to "mouth on peen"? Was client draped? Was there genital touch prior to MOP? Was there any communication about any of this? It's too minor an incident to ever get any news follow-up so we'll never know. But it's too bad this kind of chilling, sketchy story floats around out there without any clarity.

oh for fuck's sake

If HIV status is a dealbreaker for a client, or even means a change in requested services, such client must assume ALL providers are HIV+ and take steps accordingly. Self disclosure has never been reliable. To each his own where appetite for perceived risk is concerned, but in our age of PrEP and U=U, this kind of drama seems (happily) retro.

Thanks for sharing this, sounds like you found an excellent and expert provider. You seem to be self aware enough to know the attachment you feel isn't real (for you OR him). Book again as time and finances permit, and if you haven't already, explore non-commercial avenues for the kind of play you seek. That could lead you to a real community of friends, playmates and (maybe) lovers to extend beyond the 2 hrs. with your pro.

Well it depends largely on where you are! If by chance you're in NYC, https://www.bearpartynyc.com/ might suit. Crowd is diverse but skews older, the event is for bears and their admirers. No guarantees of course, but I doubt you'd feel out of place.

That of course depends on the dosage, which I believe widely varies depending on the procedure and the patient. The first scope I had many years ago I asked to be kept awake to watch. I was very lightly sedated (and embarrassingly chatty as I recall), enough to relax but not lose awareness. The doc commented that he likes when patients are awake enough to respond to requests to shift or reposition a bit. At the other extreme, the dose I had for hip surgery had me totally out for 2 hrs.

I don't have a specific recommendation, but there are groups and facilities that broadly sponsor gatherings around the topics mentioned. On the West Coast there's https://www.thebillys.org/ In upstate NY there's https://www.eastonmountain.org/ and in Georgia, there's http://gayspiritvisions.org/ All of these host gatherings, retreats and workshops throughout the year around different themes. You might explore their calendars for something that would interest you.

I think I've always had Propofol over five or six go-rounds. I've found it very "clean" in that I wake up ready to fart and go eat, no groggy aftermath. They call it "twilight sleep" for a reason, I've been awake or woke up during the procedure a few times. No problem for me although YMMV I guess, the show on the telly can be interesting. As with some other things, ahem, it's the entry that's a little rough, once you get going it's no biggie. The air they use to inflate the colon causes gas pain, but that's hardly unfamiliar to most of us. As others have said, it's the prep that's annoying, the procedure itself is nothing, and well worth it for peace of mind. Colon cancer is among the most curable of cancers, and yet continues to be a leading cause of death for want of early detection.

Woulda shoulda coulda gets none of us anywhere. Be in the now and create the life you want for yourself, starting today. Make an inventory of your abilities and interesting things about you that others might share, drawing them to you. Are you a good cook, avid reader, green-thumb gardener, Star Trek nut, etc.? Emphasize the plusses, not on your (perceived) minuses. Focus on meeting and learning to socialize with gay/bi men, without loading it with expectations of sex or romance, at least at first. Volunteer at a gay organization, join a gay book club, etc. Depends of course on where you live, may not be readily available if not in a big city, but the internet is your friend. Finally, and maybe it's a cliche, but this is a big period of transition in your life. If not already doing so, find a gay-affirming therapist to help you unpack all this stuff. There are a thousand details that strangers on a chat board can't possibly process. Geography is not an impediment, since lockdown many therapists have remained available via Zoom etc. Contact a big-city LGBT+ org for help or referrals. Good luck to you, and congratulations on your new journey!

Allen Silver recently published a memoir that gives a lot of information on his journey to a career as a sex worker (among other things), in his case at a somewhat mature age. A Man of Use

There are several different weekly parties that meet at Paddles, on 38th Street, and in Park Slope. This is one of them. https://www.bearpartynyc.com/

I never was a drug person, way to cautious. However, these young people thought they were doing coke on a vacation romp, something their parents and even grandparents may have done to "party" when they were young. That doesn't indicate any kind of drug dependency or "problem," it's kids being kids. The fentanyl is what they didn't know about, or count on. It's the state of affairs with "street drugs" in the US right now. I don't know the solution, but I don't think pathologizing users that are casual at most is really useful.

Natural, definitely. But then I'm an ursaphile, so it follows. Trimming is ok, but no interest at all in shaven bodies. There's nothing worse that an even moderately hairy man with a completely bald crotch. Blech.

OMG thank you for this RH, ripe pits are my poppers

I keep 2X20mg tadalifil (Cialis) dissolved in 8 oz of apple juice in the refrigerator. Take 1oz (5mg) per day. The multi-day effect of Cialis means I'm always good to go. I've never had problems with side effects. Everybody is different of course, but works for me. With insurance, tadalafil 18X20mg costs me $5 every three months.
