My first experience was not good - the dental dams I purchases were too thick and hardly had any sensation; go for the thinnest you can find (0.15mm). Since then I have gotten used to it and have improved my technique. It does take away from the experience, but I have not had any complaints! ?? Have not tried plastic wrap. ?

I had to google “bubbler”. From now on, that is how I will refer to a water fountain!! ?

Adam4Adam has a “PRO” section, i assume you mean the general population and not this pro section? I have seen a few guys on A4A that are looking for generosity and they are not in the pro section - have not hired from there. Have hired from the pro section with mixed success.

I usually stay at the Renaissance @ 999 ninth street nw. Great location, easy metro access, pubs and restaurants around. And no key card needed for elevator. ?

You should avoid grindr and Comcast and US Mail! ? There are scores of reasons why this could happen. I will agree that it is odd for a professional to not pay you the courtesy of reaching out if they can no longer make the appointment. That means they are effectively burning the bridge they just built. Sad, but it happens. Take a deep breath, shrug on the exhale and move on. (By the way, if there is a thread here on the forum about the provider - be sure to search for it an leave a comment about this behavior - you will save someone else the experience!) ?

Why did this experience freak you out? Apart from the visible syringe, was he acting weird, or clearly high (dilated pupils etc)? @poolboy48220 has a point about his judgment, but for me this falls into the category of ‘not my business’. I dont use drugs - never had a use for them and certainly dont keep any around the house, but I am not alarmed when I hear about people using them for recreation purposes. In fact, some would call coffee a drug, or cigarettes. The line gets very fuzzy so I try not to judge. ? Most testosterone treatments use creams or patches, but I have heard about injectables.? So my advice would be to not let this ruin it for you. You mention many positive experiences - ask him to put the syringe away, share with him that drug related paraphernalia bothers you and take it from there. ?

With the shutdown of sites (e.g. backpage and craigslist) options have become rather scarce for guys moonlighting. As such, I am a lot more forgiving. I block when I am not interested - only report if egregious - and I cannot recall ever reporting a guy looking for gen for this reason. Now bots - those bastards I report every time. Hate spam. ?

A wise gentleman once told me that if you do include language (“gen” or “generous”) or emojis (?) in your profile it is easy to get your account banned. Users (especially guys that you don’t respond to or reject) will report your profile, so if somebody message/tap you and you are not interested, block them immediately before they can report you...

Maybe I am narrow minded but I dont understand the need to tattoo your face, neck or hands. There is so much canvas elsewhere on your body... At least be able to cover tats with a dress shirt...

And I thought @KeepItReal was aiming high when he started talking about retiring on cruise ships! Lol??

"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. ?
