"F**k it. I'm paying good money and I deserve this just as much as anyone else!"

Sexual addiction (hypersexuality), yes. Porn addiction, no. But that may be because I have never seen the appeal of porn - it's never really moved the needle for me. (Terry Crews may disagree with my point of view - it's not a new topic for CNN: https://www.cnn.com/2016/02/24/entertainment/terry-crews-porn-addition-feat/index.html )

YMMV = went above and beyond my expectations based on ad and experience with other masseurs offering similar services. I use “Buyer beware” when basic service was disappointing or if i spot a number of red flags. ?

That is certainly part of the equation. Some of the more expensive fragrances I have tested smelled cheap and synthetic on me. You should test before you buy...

Pumpkin spice fatigue already?? Haha! ?

It is very alarming - I see it every day here in NYC and around the country when I travel (and I do quite a bit). Portion size is definitely an issue. So is the consumption of convenient processed food. It is also the type of calories that you consume - banana vs banana milkshake; not just how many calories. Watch this space... As for Bill Maher, well he does like to stir things up. ?

Jeremy Fragrance, the youtube personality, convinced me that I need a fragrance for every season. I quite enjoy it - makes me feel way more sophisticated than I really am! ? https://www.youtube.com/user/Jeremyfragrance

I've done some shopping there too - no complaints from me.

You can also use doublelist, but grindr and scruff are probably the best bet.

Now now, there is no need to resort to name calling... I am not chubby, i am so lovable it overflows! ??

The fact that you care enough about the guy to be worried says a lot about you! I dont know when compassion went out of style, but would love to see it make a comeback! It sounds like you have already done all you can do: reaching out, indicating that the channel of communication is open. If after the 3rd attempt you do not hear back, you should probably reallocate your time to meeting somebody else, expand your network and your ‘book of business’. Did he move on? Is he unwell? Either could be true and are outside of your control. Maybe he is out of town and you will hear back. In the mean time hold on to those fond memories and focus on your future. ?

I hate bullies!

Keep in mind that electronic communications like texting can be retained and could potentially be used against you. I follow a few basic rules. Make sure it is clear that you are paying for their time (not sex or anything illegal), never request any specific acts, rather state what you enjoy and ask if the other party would find that enjoyable too. It is a fine line. I am not an attorney but have seen every episode of “The Wire”. That counts, right? ?

This was in the USA Today: https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/columnist/2019/09/07/heres-why-you-may-need-burner-phone/2220461001/ There are many reasons to have multiple numbers and it should not encourage bad behavior. ?

I am not a medical professional but generally the risk is considered to be low. Oral sex is “low risk” in terms of HIV transmission. That means, you probably will not get HIV from giving or receiving oral sex. Having cuts or sores in your mouth, gum disease, having a sexually-transmitted infection (STI) in your throat, or recent dental work increases your risk. Although the chance of getting infected with HIV from oral sex is very low, you can get other STIs such as gonorrhea and chlamydia if you give or receive oral sex. You can prevent STI infection during oral sex by using a condom or dental dam. You can prevent further transmission of STIs by regularly getting tested and treated for STIs. https://www.sfaf.org/resource-library/hiv-faqs/

Short memory? Your earlier thread... ? https://www.companyofmen.org/threads/411-max-adonis.147302/

You are such a romantic! ?

You can always mention it here. It is not a review, true, but there are plenty of us that will do research here - it is certainly helpful to know if the provider has a history of being...eccentric.

You should follow this thread - start at the end and work your way back... https://www.companyofmen.org/threads/spas-in-nyc.137592/page-101#post-1780347 ?

He had me at “Viber”! ?

Allow me to correct your statement. “It took him twenty years to figure out what any reasonable person could have told him in five minutes.” ?

Your link may be unrelated to the topic at hand...?

One if my regulars are on Thumbtack - he asked me to write a review for him (which I was glad to do - applied a bit of discretion in my description of service ?) I have never used the app myself.
