I should have been more clear, I only do this with people I'm planning on contacting anyway, and have always followed through on reaching out to them, so there is no cat-and-mouse.

I think I would too. I have my profile set to invisibility, but when I'm planning to contact someone, I will change it to visible, and visit their profile, just to see if they will reach out to me first. So far it's never happened.

I installed it, it runs, maybe you should take the plunge? It would be good to hear from people who had issues on previous versions, such as yourself, @gallahadesquire , @Kevin Slater , @poolboy48220 , @sync ...

I'll be honest, I'd rather see y'all rub sticks.

As a client, I would not consider booking an extended session for a first meeting, even if the guy was highly regarded or even personally recommended. That's the best call for me because even though I do my best to not be an a-hole as a client, I know the reality is I don't like most people and most people don't like me. I should also say, if I did have to cancel with a guy on short notice, I would feel obligated to work out mutually acceptable compensation. Fortunately this has not happened so far, I guess that's an advantage of leading a very boring life.

What an oddly specific edit made after the following two posts. It's almost like someone is attempting to make one bar look bad in the most casual way possible, like it was just an accident. Anyway, the edit is factually wrong in a hilarious way. Sunday is the one night of the week there are two strip bars open in DC, so customers have a choice. Which means the customers at Rockhard choose to be there and somehow the event is surviving even with competition. Of course, I don't agree with the premise of the statement anyway. No one needs to go to a stripper bar, it's not a grocery store. If it was not fun, I would just stay home. But I've been most holiday weekends this year, and it's been entertaining enough, so I've gone back.

OK, got it, it satisfies your ego to go on so, even if you are factually just wrong. But let me be clear, if your messaging implies this is a 'gay' problem or a 'sex' problem, or a 'gay sex' problem, we are not on the same team.

This is the recipe I follow, it's a bit of a process, so I tend to make a larger amount, although it's never lasted long enough for me to need to consider if it could survive being frozen. https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/member/views/cooks-illustrated-creamy-gazpacho-andaluz-50091152

Yeah, the contact limitations at Secrets make it not very appealing for me. But if you are going out on Thurs-Fri-Sat nights, it appears to be the only option.

I remember reading a Savage Love column where a women said she was turned on by hearing men using the bathroom. She wanted to know if listening in through an air vent in a public restroom was ok, where she couldn't see them and so they would remain anonymous to her, and they wouldn't know she was there or who she was. Dan emphasized that consent of all parties was the critical element that would make it ok, so as @gallahadesquire points out, that would include the escort knowing the video was meant for more than the private use of client who hired them.

And less expensive! I use diluted vinager to wash vegetables I'm going to eat raw, in a salad, or when i make gazpacho. It's amazing how much ... stuff... is left in the water.

cdc.gov: HIV Among Gay and Bisexual Men CDC seems to think it's around 10%. They include MSM in the numbers even though they say gay and bisexual.

Free floating factoids about infection rates without concrete next steps come off as homophobic fearmongering, of which there is a long, sad history in regard to HIV, so it's understandable that people will push back. So, I'm curious, aside from announcing this to a fairly well informed forum, what other actions are you taking? I should also point out that I believe you may have backed into a gambler's fallacy. wikipedia.org: Gambler's fallacy Which is to say one's chance of infection in a single encounter is dictated by the activities that take place within that encounter. This is a message of self empowerment, that each person has control over what they choose to do and not do.

I guess the joke's on me then!

Interestingly enough, I had reached out to veteran acquaintances directly already. As it happens, I'm also not in NYC.

It's not cool to alter quotes to put words in other people's mouths. Just sayin...

Suit yourself, but it's a common topic of conversation around here. I myself wouldn't care if your opinion was that is a qualifying reason, you would hardly be the first to say so, but you might want to consider your reply says a lot more about you than it does about me...

How about a concrete example? I hire for the fantasy of the BFE, so if a guy is not able to make that happen, I'm not going to hire him. I'm not going to look down on him, but I'm not going to hire him either. Does that make me a dickhead?

How much milage are you planning to get out of a single incident of bad timing? As far as I can tell, the few guys that have been disappointed at Rockhard, because it's a strip club, not a sex club, or that it's not free, or whatever, would have been even more unhappy at other places where the policies regarding customer/dancer contact are even more restrictive and they aren't free either. I go to a strip club for the dancers, so things like bad segues between dancers don't really faze me. I certainly don't go often enough for them to be making a living off me but they are still open, so it seems there are enough people paying regularly enough to keep it going. Since I linked to the master list for DC, we can all see there are other choices, that was never in question. And if one is going out on a night other than Sunday, Rockhard is not an option at all. So when you say there are other options, are you saying there are better options? If so, please consider sharing your direct experience with that, it was the question the OP asked. Don't hold back now!

I think kissing is more intimate than rimming, maybe that's a perspective that makes sense? Having said that, for me, that intimacy is not a product of how vigorous or deep one goes. It's possible to have meaningful kissing without getting the roto-rooter treatment and I believe not all guys understand that.

Ha ha, Flip or Flop Forth Worth is done at Eggplant Picture & Sound. I say more eggplant!
