I try to ignore the news. We no longer have news sources. Mostly everything is manipulation. Opinion and speculation parade as facts. News articles drip with bias. So much information shared on social media is simply untrue. So, when you read the comments, what you are seeing is not a reflection of who the commentator is as a person; it is a result of the rabid manipulation machines fiercely at work on them and on you. 
I know someone who told me how important he thought it was stay informed and worked to keep on top of the news. Then I see what he shares on social media. A simple Google search shows he is reposting blatant lies. He is not the only one I know like that.  I just stay off Facebook and unfollow people who share politicially infused elsewhere.  

I grew up there. It's not even "unseen"....we all see it.  There is an expectation of "group-think" where you MUST do as others do. If you don't, you are to be hated for not participating. 
THIS is why I am so sensitive to "group-think" when I see gay men playing that same evil game. 
Group-think whether left of right thinking is suffocating.

I saw a client recently who was visiting London. A lot of my clients are visitors, usually from the US or countries where the cost of living is similar to here. However this guy wasn’t from the usual places. 
Before we start a session I do a short chat about their reasons for booking, any preferences, no go areas, injuries etc. Often it’s just a couple of minutes and all is straightforward. However this client shared with me some of his motivations and reasons for booking which were more in depth than usual. I won’t say what it was because it’s private and not so relevant to this thread (although it was very relevant to the session).
By the time we’d talked (and he really wanted to share this with me so I didn’t try to curtail the chat) we were well into the hour and he wasn’t even naked! In the circumstances I decided to extend the session so he got the full hour of activity although I didn’t tell him, I just decided not to rush him to finish on the hour. 
Afterwards he shared with me that he’d thought long and hard about booking with me because in his home country the cost of my session is the same as what he’d spend on a month of groceries. (Note that when he booked he’d never tried to negotiate). However he said he’d decided to go ahead and treat himself and he was really glad he had because it was worth it. 
These kind of meetings are really where I get a lot of satisfaction in the work, and it’s a reminder that hiring isn’t exclusively done by those with plenty of disposable income. 

Talk about the
Wayback Machine…
I was on holiday in Paris. A business acquaintance had referred me to an address in Montmartre. A distinguished man opened the door, and I handed him the both the card of my friend, by way of introduction, along with my own. 
I was shown to a sitting room, comfortable, candle-lit and warm. The gentlemen brought me a whiskey, and asked me to be comfortable and wait for 3 minutes, and left, closing the door behind him. 
It can’t even have been that long before a 20-something man entered from another door that existed behind a bookcase. Tall, hirsute and a little thick, capped off with a Leyendecker face topped with a mop of brown curls. He came over to me, and before I could stand up to look him in the eye and shake his hand, he had shed his robe and pinned me with his lips and chest to the chair. A flurry of mad contact and teasing led to the adjacent bedroom. 
Everything I might have wanted to happen, did, and the fair business concluded with a passionate kiss, a warm hug and a laugh. I saw him only one more time before returning stateside.
It was imperative to sail from Europe the day after, as Archduke Ferdinand had just been assassinated.

I am not experienced enough to answer that; however, I have worked for businesses before.  We sold a service to our clients. We would not have provided the service without pay, but that didn't mean we didn't care for them as people and meet their needs for the right reasons. The staff got paid to provide a service, but they cared about the people they were working for,  sometimes working a bit longer unpaid or taking client calls on personal time because they cared.

I want to soon go through the 411s and report and reply to notable guys I have met through my travels. It might mean digging up some old posts. Hope that’s okay.

I'd like to make him that sweaty, but without playing tennis. 

Add me to the no fingernail polish trend, as well as facial piercings. Not personally a fan of excessive tattoos or long, straggly beards. The first STI I ever got was from a man with a long, straggly beard, and it scarred me, I guess.

Last month, I visited Fire Island.  I stayed at an all-male, clothing-optional hotel. Upstairs, there is an area where sometimes guys play. The first day of my stay, I checked it out and saw a shorter (5’5”?), good looking latin man, maybe mid 30s, smooth with dark hair and some nice tats. He walked over to me and started to kiss me, pulled down my swim suit, and sucked my dick while taking off his speedo. I’m 65, 5-11, moderately hairy, and fit. While he was sucking me, another guy, maybe late 40s, slightly heavy, and handsome came over and joined us.  He had a nice big cock. The guy sucking me immediately switched to the bigger man, who seemed more into me than the hungry bottom. The bottom wanted the big man to fuck him, but the big guy interacted with me and came playing with himself, disappointing the bottom. I found it all hot and departed with a nice memory. The next day, I saw the same bottom near the pool trying to get a beautiful hairy-chested, hung guy around mid 30s to fuck him.  It didn’t happen. Finally, the following day, I went upstairs and saw the latin guy aggressively approaching a hot couple.  One of the guys was around 50, mostly smooth, and hung.  The other was maybe late 50s, hairy chest, fit, with a huge uncut dick. The bottom took turns sucking them like he hadn’t had anything in that mouth in weeks. He couldn't get enough. While sucking, he removed his speedo and the guys started to get more aggressive, which made him show his joy by sucking deeper. I left the area for a little while, but curiosity got to me, and I returned, sitting on a chair and watching them.  I think I missed the smoother guy fucking the bottom and cumming. What I did see was the hairy guy relentlessly pounding the moaning bottom, while his husband watched.  They fucked in 3 different positions, until the top exploded into the bottom. The cuck husband just watched, and no longer participated in their play. The bottom had a great looking, meaty ass and a perfect dick, that I never saw hard.
While this was happening, on the other side of the room, a handsome guy was on his knees sucking another hot guy.  I finished myself off watching all the action.

Some time ago, in the 1980s, a darling British twinkie and I were an item, he visiting here, and I there. On one occasion, we were visiting York, a delightful medieval Yorkshire town. We were staying in a B & B just off The Shambles, a quintessential medieval neighborhood. Medieval folks tended to be shorter than today, and the room was quite compact. We were in a top floor garret, and our bedroom aerobatics had the top bumping his head on the ceiling while the bottom, on his back, could brace his feet against the ceiling. It didn't hold us back too much, as we quickly were running out of both condoms and lube. We found a chemist just across the street from The Minster (that glorious early medieval cathedral) and I went to find condoms while he picked out lube. This being England, such naughty things were not out in public so I had to ask the clerk...a 70ish year old white-haired matron. "I'd like some condoms", I said. "Condoms? What are they?" she replied. "Ah, er, condoms" I replied. "Condoms, what are they? How do you use them?" "Ah, er." "Just tell me how you use them." Not getting any helpful information from me, she yelled across the room to the other clerk, a matron of similar vintage, "Florence, this man wants condoms...do you know what condoms are?" Florence replies, "Condoms, what are they for? How do you use them?" At this point, the bf walks up holding a super giant economy size container of Vaseline. At which point the clerk puts 2 and 2 together, and says, "Oh, prophylactics." We soon got over the embarrassment, and roared all the way back to our garret to try out our new purchases. He and I still have a giggle over it. And every time I see York Minster in some photogenic TV mystery show, I look for that Chemist's, just across the street from the holiest site in town. I only hope in 2025, the prophylactics are self-service.

I'd pay good money to just sit in a chair for an hour with this view and do nothing but watch him put it on and take it off, over and over and over, while I lick my lips.

Dantheman, escort located on Long Island (I think) and sometimes Florida. Not sure if he's still active (couldn't find him on RentMen) but had a huge crush on him. Not sure why, though, except for the face, arms, muscle, chest, butt, feet, big package, and a dominant persona; otherwise, so-so.

Hi everyone. I’ve been lurking for a bit. Thought I would finally join. I’ve been involved with this stuff for about 10 years. Thought maybe I could contribute.

From what I heard, MJ : The Musical didn't cover his legal troubles from the 90s - 2000s. That was the agreement the producers had with his estate in order to use his music on Broadway.  That's like doing a biopic drama on Nixon's life, and not covering Watergate. 
Another disappointment was 'Summer: The Donna Summer Musical' in 2018. One of the worst B'way shows I ever sat through (and I'm a huge Summer fan). They should have staged the autobiographical musical she wrote herself in the 90s called 'Ordinary Girl' - with the new music she wrote. 

I can't say I am disappointed to hear the news. The fewer of these insipid bio musicals, the more space for shows like Water for Elephants, Boop, In the Heights, and Next to Normal. 

Not sure if they have to be exclusively gay stories but here’s one from my college days:
I watched a couple have sex on my apartments kitchen floor back in college. I shared the apartment with a roommate and he invited a chubby, nerdy asian guy and his white, short rocker chick girlfriend to our apartment for drinks and food.
After a few hours of drinking, I guess the chick got incredibly horny. She grinded up against the asian guy saying how horny she was and started making out with him. Eventually she led him towards the kitchen.
She got on the floor and pulled down her pants. Didn’t look like she had panties on but it was hard to see because the asian guy was on top of her and covering the view. I really couldn’t really believe this was happening in front of me and everything seemed so surreal.
The asian guy pulled down his pants and underwear and slowly started to fuck his girlfriend. Again he was chubby so his ass obscured him putting his cock in his girlfriend’s pussy. Ultimately I didn’t mind. He actually had a really nice ass.
Felt myself get super excited as I watched the asian guys ass bobbing up and down as he fucked and the rocker girl softly moaning as she raised and spread her legs for him.
Got super hot and horny watching them. Would have pulled my cock out and rubbed one out but didn’t want to do that in front of my roommate. My roommate treated it like a joke, and timed them to see how long they lasted.
Ultimately I think it went on for about five minutes before the asian guy pulled out and came on her stomach. It felt so much longer and was one of the hottest and most erotic things I have ever experienced in my life. A couple partaking in spontaneous sex in front of me.
After they were finished the asian guy mopped the area of the kitchen floor where he and his girlfriend had fucked
