Deadlift1

Update: I've lost some 30+ lbs. It's been fairly consistent weight loss over 6+ months
I've gotten the lecture from well intended coworkers about unknown long term side effects with new medications. My response is simple: I know what the long term side effects will be if I don't make this change from my own experience: Sleep apnea, lower back issues, high triglycerides, high blood pressure meds, multiple abdominal hernias, family history of early cardiac death / disabling strokes.  
My doctor asked if I have a specific goal in mind, I just want to be sub obese 5'8" 180s. 
Will I continue to be on this drug for maintenance after goal weight?  Unknown. I'll make the decision later in the year with input from my doctors. 
For me, this continues to be the right decision with manageable side effects.  

He's handsome as f#k

Nothing like watching fresh-faced Phil Mattingly in the morning to kick off your day. He's the type of guy you would enjoy watching walking naked from your bed to the bathroom to shower and get his day started, until you coax him into returning to bed for another hour and calling in 'late'.

I enjoy watching him every afternoon on CNN reporting the news. Can we just say he's probably the sexiest man on cable news TV these days ? 
 

I'd like to know the same.

This older millennial can't either...
....which is why he has a modest condo. Mortgage payments are like half of what some of my friends pay in rent.
As for the latest Chicago price update, I'm seeing professionals, including young ones, drop their prices below 300/hour (or 500/2hr) more often. There's something off about the economy. I bet everyone's been paying with credit and savings the past 3 years, and the bills are coming due. For both clients and providers.

You do you, as they say.   You might find, as you age, that you will need to find a new version of you to do. 

LOL sounds more like you're trying to date him.

Great topic!  

Well said. As with SSRIs, I think the market will be bursting with better versions in a few years.
 
Interesting point on bariatric surgeon and negative articles. It will be interesting to see where that field goes now that non-invasive alternatives are available. As for the negative articles, I wonder how many are coming from insurance industry shills as well.

My diet plan is called Assrimpecs… I basically rim ass for 1/2 hour and lick some pecs for a few mins and then feel Completely satisfied~ I typically lose approximately 4mls each time… (whatever that weighs). 
 It’s a plan I can stick by and there’s no Max out limit… eat as much as You want~   
 The side effects are: a boner~ 
 Assrimpec… Works like a charm~  It’s magically delicious~   
 

Unfortunate, yes, but capitalism.
It's not just upper class gay men who can pay for access.  It's anyone with the cash.  This is America.
The same situation is also happening to those who truly need adderall vs those who have vanity scripts.  The shortage is kicking the mental shit out of a lot of people.
Silver lining:  The drug companies will ramp up production (unless they see an even greater profit from keeping it in a shortage).  This hopefully won't last long.
There's also competitors who will formulate their own, perhaps better, version. 
Gotta love a free-market economy  
 

I have used Mounjaro, a similar drug. I am not diabetic or pre-diabetic. I chose to take it for weight loss (and insurance did not cover it). It is not a fad diet type of thing like we’ve seen in the past. It works very well (along with choosing a proper diet and plenty of exercise). I lost 50lbs using it. My mother recently started using it and it’s going well for her (she’s 1 month in). 
 
I think some people do have ill side effects from these drugs. You have to start with a low dose and ease into to make sure you won’t have these bad side effects. If you do, simply stop the drug. It might not work for you. From what I understand, it has worked well for lots of people, way more than those you hear about in the news with the bad side effects. 
 
For me, it suppressed my appetite. I didn’t crave foods and almost had to remember/force myself to eat. It slows digestion so you feel fuller longer. It’s an amazing drug and experience for someone who has always loved food and indulged. 
 
I lost my weight over a 6 month period, so it wasn’t anything too fast. I think I avoided the “Ozempic face”. Lol. I also play a lot of tennis, so I think the exercise helped me from losing too much muscle mass. 

Try to stay in Airbnb.  U basically check yourself.in with a code.  No one cares.  Get a small 2br for less than a hotel.  Ask the guide of that take care of the two men in one room problem

Hot!

Currently at Blow Bar. There are a couple cute dancers but I’m having a hard time enjoying myself when 60% of the crowd seems to be straight women and straight couples grinding on each other. All the girls are screaming and the dancers are definitely focusing on them. Probably not the right spot for me. 

I lived in Iran in the 1960s when I was in my '20s. There was lots of consensual gay sex going on with high school - '20s - '30s young men, as girls were pretty much kept under lock and key. And then there were the bathhouses, where most everyone went on a weekly basis for cleanliness...and where a massage in a private room was 25¢, and another 25¢ to get fucked by the masseur. Let's just say I got a lot of massages. Illegal, immoral, whatever...they don't pay any more attention to their mullahs than we do to our ministers and priests when it comes to cock. 
This was during the Viet Nam war, when the US military put out a guide to brothels in the Far East, for G.I's on R & R. Both Taiwan and Bangkok were notorious for sex tourism, so I returned to the States via Asia. In the cab from the Bangkok airport to my hotel, the cabbie handed me brochure after brochure for brothels with women. Seeing I had no interest, he reached into his glove compartment and pulled out half a dozen brochures for the brothels with young men. I picked out a brothel, went there, and had a choice of maybe ten sexily-dressed boys vying for my attention. I payed the "madam" the fee to take him for the night. When I returned to my first class hotel with him, the doorman and other hotel workers smiled ear to ear. My boy told me they would have been very disappointed if a client ever came back to bed alone. We spent three days and nights together, even went to his house and met his mother, whom he was undoubtedly supporting. All so terribly civilized. 
Bangkok is still a great place to hire. Taiwan less so, perhaps because gays are so open and accepted there you don't have to pay. 

Be sure to stay near the Beyoğlu
Lots of young handsome guys to ogle, and nearby to the gay saunas.
 

Istanbul does have a scene.  I would use standard website: RentMasseur, HUNQZ, and Jock2Go.  There are gay bath houses but I have not been in a few years.  

I have noticed that you can be disappointed when you hire for sensual or erotic, I always hire for therapeutic, which often morphs into sensual or erotic.  If it doesn't it's OK because therapeutic is what I hired for, after all.

Id say 99% are "bi-sexual". All anyone ever says.There's a different definition of "sex" here as in a lot of cultures. 

Merry Christmas from Prague. Here for a month.
