Train travel in the U.S. was quite popular in the 1940s.  People regularly traveled all over California and the West via train when it was much more sparsely populated than it is today.  It's not that Europe has more density than the U.S, it's that the U.S. has more travel options with a great Interstate Hghway System and lots of airports.  As roads become more congested and flying becomes less of a luxury and more onerous, train travel will once again become popular.

Only when we get the population density of Europe will train travel be viable in the US. Those few areas of the US already with that density have successful train operations. It's a nice dream, but geography, economics, and selfish Americans doom it. 

I recently saw an interesting interview with a homeless advocate.  He works in LA, not SF, but I'm it's true everywhere.  He said that many assume that the homeless lost their housing because they have a drug problem, but he said many women become addicts after becoming homeless. 
Virtually 100% of homeless women get raped.  Many turn to drugs to numb the trauma of rape, and many get addicted to meth to help them stay awake and walking around all night, when the risk of getting raped is higher.  He didn't have numbers or studies to back this up, just his personal experience, but I can see how it happens.

Not charging sounds like an ethical decision and good customer service from the provider, given the situation.  Kudos to him.
I had a similar situation once with a provider who could not perform.  He also offered to not charge me.  I gave him some money right then and there for cab fare.  While I wouldn't hire that man again for me, I admire his business practice of not charging for a less than stellar experience.
A good lesson to learn from this is that with some forms of communication, less is best.  Especially don't send text messages when there is any negative or serious issues to discuss, as they can be blown out of proportion.
If I had wanted to see him again, I would have waited a day to let the negative feelings from the encounter cool off, and then text him to schedule the next appointment.  If I had no intent of scheduling with him again, I would just let it go and stop communication.

I think it’s called “fisting,” but I could be wrong.

This is what I wrote about him on another thread: I saw this guy recently and had a different experience. His massage was incredibly strong, which I like. And he seemed to be pretty skilled. But the rest was weird. Not friendly, an odd vibe. Apartment in an upscale building but there’s no furniture. the massage table is in the kitchen; he instructs you to put your clothes on the kitchen counter next to the sink. The walls are lined with white, poster-size paper with black Sharpie writing like a business brainstorm….or a serial killer’s plans. When it came to the ending it was also odd - I asked to suck his nipples as he jacked me off and he said no in an angry tone while forcefully pushing me away. Not a turn on. 

It never came up in the course of this discussion as to whether the son is a minor.  Although it may not change the dynamics of the situation, I feel If the son is an adult, he may be better able to deal with the let down.  I would be concerned to back away slowly as this will be an enormous disappointment to the kid.  He will feel as if he did something wrong.  Not an easy solution.

FWIW I’d simply say to the son that you’ve now met someone, a man older than him, who is rather jealous and doesn’t want you seeing anyone else.

Explain to the son that he’s done nothing wrong. You just have to sever contact while you’re exploring a relationship with this man. Express the hope that he’ll find another nice guy or a boyfriend.…and perhaps add that over time, things may change.

Keep there drivers license while they go to the car.  Guy looks like a dickhead.

It's definitely worth a visit.  I was there over 30 years ago, and had one of the hottest encounters of my life -- and to be sluttingly honest, I've had a lot of encounters. 

He's one of many.  Ugh!!

Recently I saw the movie Beach Rats. Kinda sexy, kinda sad. Seemed to be an accurate portrayal, IMHO, of the struggle many of us share with gay and bi teenagers. There was one scene of the main character looking at pics online of men looking for sex. He would cover his eyes with his hands, then spread his fingers out and cautiously peer through. It was like he wanted to look at the ads, but couldn't stand himself looking at the ads. KnowwhatImean? His internal struggles looked very real, very familiar. 

He sure loves playing dress up.  
 

He's one of many.  Ugh!!

He's one of many.  Ugh!!

Then you should book him, do that and write about “your” experience versus sitting on the sidelines critiquing what I actually did.  

My buddy checked it out said it was hopping after work.

Nick quoted me 250 for therapeutic 60 mins or 300 erotic 60 mins!

That won’t help. 
No matter what one does, or where they go, they will always take themselves with them. 
 
Jerrod needs therapy. 
 
I’m not being sarcastic or facetious when suggesting this either. 
 
Otherwise, no matter what profession he explores, he will always have complaints and issues. 
 

Very good advice.  I understand his frustrations, but he keeps doing the same thing with these loser prospects and expecting a different result.  Time wasters are time wasters.  Cheap bastards are cheap bastards. You need to use screening questions to identify them and get rid of them.   My favorites, in my business, are the ones who ask,"Why does it cost so much?"  I used to reason with them like Jarrod does, but a long time ago I realized I don't owe them an explanation and learned to anwer them "Because it does.  Anything else?" And then get off the phone.

How far offshore would a boat have to travel to run a floating gay brothel?

I much prefer they advertise on MF or Rent masseur. Im just not a fan of Rent Men. The constant re entry checks or advertising mixed in sucks.

He pulled off wearing a pair of espadrilles.  He's ok in my book.

It's not that they haven't tried.  It's just that it probably hasn't sold as well.
Guys don't watch porn to see themselves.  They watch it to watch the unattainable.  The fantasy.  
That's what porn is:  A highly unrealistic, hyper-visual, fantasy-driven medium.
This sort of marginalized porn has usually been shoehorned into a fetish category and as much as I'd like to see society evolve, it's not realistic to think it's going to change anytime soon.  
The gay community is mega progressive in regards to our rights, but we heavily inner-discriminate if someone doesn't fit within a classic frame of beauty.
