I suppose it is a cheap way of marketing - most of us now have 'all you can eat' texting plans, so there is no real cost involved. It may even be effective - if it wasn't, they wouldn't do it. I have a few 'regulars' that will reach out to me when it's been a while or if they come into town, but those are personalized, directed at me specifically and I am okay with it - not the big blast 'throw jello against the wall and see if it sticks' approach you mentioned. They should remove you from a mailing list if you request it, if not they can get into a fair amount of trouble (TCPA applies and although I am not a lawyer, I understand that it has teeth to it if they don't have your prior written express consent...) Most mobile phones now have the ability to block numbers - if they won't stop misbehaving, you can try to block the number.

You tell 'em @sexymonk!

No, would be my default answer. Unless it is specifically requested as a gift AND I am convinced that the recipient would care for the pet, I would not consider it.

Discussed here on the site before - did you run a search? https://www.companyofmen.org/threads/411-sergen.132595/#post-1442920 Seems to travel a lot, no fans have spoken up so far...

Indeed, they are quite popular - I had to wait a few weeks to get them from the New York Public Library, but they were worth the wait! (Keep in mind, the last book in the series was published 10 years ago and they still have a wait list for a few weeks to this day!!)

I am willing to wager providers will relocate to a different section of CL. Perhaps under “services” and “therapeutic services”? We are a creative and resilient bunch!!

CNN reported yesterday that the book sold out and a reprint is already in the works!

Yup, back from vacation in Brazil. Bumped into him on the street last week.

Anthony is back, well reviewed here: https://www.daddysreviews.com/venue/usa/pennsylvania/anthony_2_philly He has a profile on rentmen under Philadelphia.

But...how will I get the oil stains out of my sheets??

Do I want to be a gentleman? No. I want to be Harvey Specter!

I wear cognac colored dress shoes with a navy suit all the time. Looks fine to me - the fact that I enjoy a good cognac has nothing to do with it (I do declare!) Get a lot of compliments on that specific pair of shoes, just fyi...

I know a few masseurs that split their time between locations (eg based in NYC but spend a week every month in Miami). I dont consider them ‘traveling’ masseurs - only those that run from city to city are ‘traveling’ by my definition. I avoid those. In my early days I was adventurous enough to try a few but I can only recall one case where it worked out to my satisfaction. He disappeared soon after...

“Oh no, not by the hair on my chinny-chin-chin!”

He’s been around NYC for at least a year - have seen ads on multiple sites...

I have no personal experience, but take a look at this ad on A4A: https://www.adam4adam.com/profile/view/hotgroom

End of discussion as far as I am concerned...then again, I’ve been told I can be rather frank at times!

Very cool!! Does it come in chrome??

Don’t believe the old saying “you get what you pay for”... I’ve had great experiences with masseurs at a lower price point (and I’ve tipped generously) and have had horrible interactions with high priced faux masseurs. I do make allowances for circumstances - am I hosting/masseur traveling? etc...

Reminds me of this segment by Bill Maher:

I admire your adventurous spirit! CL has a bad rep....

Yes, it happens...

I am tempted...

I always thought the Santa at my local mall was creepy, but this defines creepy!!
