When the National Enquirer gets involved??

He's been discussed before. If you search for "16690" (the number in the masseur finder link you posted) you should find the following thread - it indicates that one of our members has seen him. Light on details, but you could reach out to the member for more info. https://www.companyofmen.org/threads/411-needed-on-two-ny-masseurs.153245/

I don't always agree with Bill Maher. But in this case he did make a strong argument for better training and calling out those good cops that stand by and do nothing while the few bad cops use excessive force. And yes, hiring practices need to be examined as well.

Well, he certainly voted with his wallet!

For a custom video I think $70 is pretty fair - have paid that before. For a non-custom (cookie cutter) type video I have paid far less. I guess @KeepItReal I would ask you to consider the following: 1) Is this truly a custom video or just a clip that is being made available to multiple buyers in an effort to raise some cash. In that case it is basically an OnlyFans type video without the technology platform. Given that an OnlyFans subscription is usually $10 to $15 and that you can tip $5 or $10 if you want, I guess I would say $25 is pretty reasonable for a cookie cutter type video. If the video is custom made and ...shall we say...spicy ...more time and effort went into that, I would say triple the price is fair eg $75. 2) What is the value of the clip to you; and the value of keeping a cordial and ongoing relationship with the provider? 3) Even if it is a cookie cutter type video, you can also tip later if you feel like you got a really good experience from the video. Hopefully these thoughts will guide you to a solid answer.

My neighbors ended up with too much celery. They ordered fresh produce from a restaurant; it had too much on hand and not enough business. Offered me some - made for a great cream of celery soup last night; made in the bread machine! (Yes, I cheat!) I returned the favor this morning by dropping off a bottle of home made ginger ale. Had to warn them - it has a kick!

Thanks for this. I have always given him a “pass” as some of his past pics appeared to be too good to be true and his rates are pretty high when compared to my regular masseur. Will reconsider.

My local store is in West Harlem. There are some items I have stopped buying; too expensive. Will stock up again when sanity returns.

Most of these OF accounts are not worth the time and money. Any recommendations of ones that are? Would love to find a naughty OF that’s updated frequently with hot content to distract me from current events...

I liked this song in the 90s during my “questioning youth” phase. The lyrics resonated with me. Today I like it because it turns out I am a sentimental old fool!! ?

Stopped by my local Key Foods today - they are the closest grocery store. Still no flour, eggs or cleaning supplies available. They did have beer - bingo! ?

How about a few favorites from QAF? Of these don’t get your heart rate up, I have failed as a person! ??

The academic in me wants to quote from the Uniform Commercial Code. The masseur can make any offer they want, it is up to you to accept that offer - or not. I do think the masseur should disclose upfront that the offer includes an uber ride. That way you are not surprised. I consider the offer in totality before accepting - just like I do any other purchase like internet shopping that includes a shipping fee. I would venture a guess that you also find shipping fees annoying - and you are not alone!!

Not familiar with that particular rule, but when I was in college I would have considered it - temptation would be high with hunky guys around.

Ive been thinking about it - I do need a haircut. Its either going with a buzz cut or end up looking like Mr T! ?

Dont miss the video imbedded on the page. As always, the opinion is worth the price you paid for it!

I have seen a number of straight guys advertise on Doublelist. Never took the plunge myself - not really my thing, but I would advise you to be cautious. When people are desperate, they do dumb things. Meet in a public place first. Tell a friend that you are meeting up with some body new and to check in on you if they don't hear from you after the meet. Be super cautious.

There you have it - the day we all knew was coming has arrived. New Yorkers are being asked to cover their mouth and nose while outside. Despite the discomfort I will now start wearing my N95 mask. ? https://www.ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/news/health-and-medicine/coronavirus-blog

Agree with you, mostly. I do have a few N95 masks that I have been using over the past few years as part of a home renovation. Hope you wont judge me too harshly if I wear them out on the street... ?

NYC reported significantly higher 911 call volumes. No doubt this is driven by the current crises. https://www.ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/news/2020/03/29/mayor-de-blasio-press-conference-3-29

I guess that makes me the outlier. Have always been comfortable using condoms. PreP does not protect against all STDs - even if you are on PreP it only makes sense to use condoms if you want to avoid those. Let’s face it - condoms also makes cleanup afterwards whole lot easier! ?

The CDC published a study in 2015, that is when I started taking Prep. It said that Prep is 99% effective - when you add the additional protection from condom use...well it is probably as close to 0% chance of transmission as you can get...

When I tried to do the math on how long it would take me to work my way through 30 lbs of peanut butter, my brain curled up into a ball and pulled the blanket over its head! Now my brain hurts!

Somehow I never really got into this show. Which I find surprising because, on the surface, it is right down my alley. Maybe now that I am spending more time at home, I will find a chance to sit down and focus on it...
