You might be truly aromantic. After all I'm sure there are straight guys who may only want sex. There may even be women who only want sex too. On the other hand saying you could see yourself having a non-sexual, but romantic, relationship with a woman seems to indicate that at least fantasy-wise you might crave affection on some level.
 
It seems to me this could be something that therapy might help you explore better.

To put it simply, no.
 
I don’t know where this urban legend comes from, but it’s ridiculous to think any undercover operation in the United States could come to a screeching halt merely by asking someone “are you a cop?” The very notion of that is preposterous.

I'm only marginally bothered by that practice.
 
Overall, I'm not a fan of censorship. So if forced, I'd say I'm opposed. Because all initial censorship is a slippery slope.
 
However, Disney is a private company. I wouldn't want the curious youngsters in my family seeing escort sites. Or porn. Inquisitive minds that watch every screen - phones, tablets, laptops - in their environment, including glances at strangers'. If the company can be very precise with blocking technology in public spaces, its ok with me. I'd have a very different reaction if also blocked in private spaces, like hotel rooms.
 
Do the airlines block adult sites? I wouldn't want to sit adjacent some guy watching porn on a plane. The porn wouldn't offend me, but I'd be judgmental about my seatmate's overall common sense.
 
And for those who don't know.... the following sites are blocked

At Mar-A-Lago

You never asked me

I had an escort tell me I was way to muscular for him. That did it. I immediately stopped going to gym, ate spaghetti until I was unconscious and had ice cream fed to me intravenously. Soon enough, I was the man you see before you now. No more rejections for being too muscly or too good looking. Most escorts simply murmur just loud enough for me to hear: "Oh good, he has lost that hideously perfect body.
I tipped the scale at 230 and then tipped it back to weigh the rest of me.
At some point we have to grow up and realize that we are not Vin Marco. Most of us are droolers I am sure the droolees are glad we are out there.

I've had clients as big as 400lbs, clients with only one leg, and colostomy bags. True compassion and acceptance doesn't have a "breaking point". I do expect a level of hygiene, but bad hygiene isn't exclusive to guys of size.

My breaking point is an overweight man who just lays there and expects me to physically move him around - not playfully throw him around, mind you, but roll him over because he can't or won't do it himself. Though you can basically remove "overweight" in that statement lol

Size doesn't matter to me. A client is hiring for a specific purpose/experience and regardless of their physical appearance I try to do my best to make sure they receive the exact service they requested. As long as you go into it with a positive attitude you are more likely to receive a positive outcome.

I loved the rope and I hated it at the same time. I couldn't for the life of me climb that thing, but I sure did enjoy watching the hot jocks in my class do it. It was a spectacular view from below.

Yes....not sure of my skill level. But I was sitting at a shared round table at a dim sum place one day, surrounded by locals, and one of the elderly Asian ladies broke off her Cantonese convo with her lady friends said “you know what to order and you’re good with chopsticks!” So there’s that

Posted this in the Joshua thread, but thought it deserved its own thread, since both spaces on Fourteenth Street and 6th Avenue are worth knowing:
 
There are two studios at that 14th Street site: the MMX Studio on the 2nd floor and the 3F Studios on the 3rd floor.
 
The MMX Studios have small relatively private massage rooms in addition to the large worshop space for yoga classes and massage workshops.

The 3F Studios spaces are more private and more comfortable.

And always a great massage and one of the very best in NYC - Pasha

"SOME LIKE IT HOT"
Jack Lemon and Tony Curtis often sat around in uncomfortable drag for hours waiting for Marilyn Monroe. They complained to the director Billy Wilder.

"I have an aunt in Poland never been late a day in her life, we can get her."

The moral issue is that the animal has no say in the matter. Bestiality is never less than an act of human cruelty.

I have made much better hiring choices since I figured out that PnP does not mean Piss'nPitts.

Because of its extended effect, Cialis can be taken daily on a low-dose basis. It's available in 2.5 and 5.0 mg. forms. The standard dose is usually 10 mg. The daily doses overlap to create a sustained effect. My insurance covers 6 pills a month, bizarrely without regard to dosage, so I get the 20 mg. and dissolve in juice to take 4-5 mg./day.
 
As to whether there is any practical reason to do that ... well, I guess I'm just a cockeyed optimist in that regard.

I pop my hip replacement at the sight of a hot guy. Fortunately, I've learned how to reduce it.

I'm 48. In 25 years I'm going to need two popsicle sticks and some duct tape.

So Chris, what you're saying is that if a prospective client would appreciate erotic touch in his massage, he should make his wishes clear to you first? I think at least some providers would be put off by that approach in that even a convo about erotic touch between client and provider (who after all really don't know each other at this point) could be construed as solicitation. I've always let the masseur take the lead, you seem to be saying you wouldn't do that.

I will NOT be talking you out of anything!

A friend took such a pic of me. Yeah, it really doesn't work for balding 48 year olds.

I see so many cute fellows with such huge tattoos, and they just make me loose interest.
 
When I was a teenager, I remember the lectures from my overbearing, difficult, screechy voiced mum who has basically been 70 years old her entire life. Most of them were not relevant to the life of any sane adolescent, but the one that actually made sense was her absolute loathing of anyone who got a tattoo. Everything from 'they did that to our people at the camps' to 'I want to make sure I can bury you in a Jewish cemetery when you die'....oddly enough, when she actually turned 70 a few years ago and got 'permanent makeup' applied to her eyebrows (making her look sort of like a wrinkled, terrifying version of catwoman) and lips (making her look like a vegas hooker at a long night of work) we had a blowout argument about that being the same / looking s bad as a tattoo.
 
I digress.
 
I buzzed down to Indianapolis to visit her last weekend and while in situ in my adolescent bedroom, I decided to sneak out for a meeting with a great looking fellow off of rentmen. And managed to not notice in his ad that he had massive star shaped tattoo messes all over his chest (oy) which was a letdown. (though he looked quite nice facedown, so all was not lost).
 
The entire time I kept thinking 'oh, god those will look terrible when you are 50' but on my way home realized I would likely be mostly dead by the time he was 50, so I did not have to worry about it.

I did the initial workshop when I was first coming out and it was extremely helpful; a few years later, I did a second one at Wildwood; met some wonderful men and furthered my development as a gay man; I'm not sure how it has changed over the years, but I think at least the initial workshop would be worthwhile.
