thedanNYC

if you read my blogs and comments throughout this site, you may have figured out that I love to eat my cum and edge for hours, Perhaps I should have said that in the reverse order. Anyway, I am here in Buffalo NY for a visit and had no where to go until noon. So of course I used this opportunity to sit at the desk and get on line and edge for a few hours before going. I was well into a nice edge (about 2.5 hours worth) when housecleaning started knocking at the door. I ignored the knock not wanting to loose the edge I had. I thought that since I had turned the upper lock that whoever was there could not get in. Well, she kept knocking and I kept ignoring until she came in. So cool. I was at the desk and nude and obviously bating and she poked her head in and asked if I needed anything. I just looked over and responded that I was fine as is and she left. I knew that there was some exhibitionist in me, but this event sort of proves to myself that I liked it more that a little, I never stopped stroking thru the exchange with her and certainly was not embarrassed. My cock never lost it's edge, rather, got a little closer proving that my cock liked the "exposure". just a cool moment that helps me understand myself even more that a few moments before. 

Travelers from the United States, Canada and dozens of other countries who do not require visas to enter the United Kingdom will soon need to apply for digital authorization in order to visit or transit through the country.
The electronic travel authorization, called ETA and linked to a traveler’s passport, costs 10 pounds, or around $13, and lasts two years. The requirement was introduced about a year ago for nationals of Qatar, Saudi Arabia and four other Gulf nations and will extend to more than 40 visa-exempt countries starting January 8. It will eventually apply to all visa-exempt travelers wishing to visit the United Kingdom, including those from the European Union.
Travelers connecting through airports in the United Kingdom who have final destinations elsewhere will also need to apply for ETA, though this policy is currently under review.
The ETA system is part of a mission to “deliver a more streamlined, digital immigration system” that will enhance border security, according to a news release from the British Home Office.
Here’s what you need to know about ETA and the process to apply.
It’s not a visa.
The ETA is for short-term visits under six months and only for visa-exempt travelers; the full list of applicable nationalities is available online. The ETA does not replace existing visa policies, which require citizens of dozens of countries and territories to apply for and receive a visa to enter the United Kingdom.
British and Irish citizens, visa holders, and those granted permission to live, work or study in the United Kingdom do not need to apply for the ETA.
The ETA doesn’t replace the need for passports to enter the United Kingdom.
The application process has already opened up.
For travel on or after January 8, applications are already being accepted online or through the ETA app.
All travelers, including infants and children, will need ETAs, though applications can be submitted on behalf of other travelers.
To apply, you’ll need the applicant’s passport and photo and payment. Credit cards, debit cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay are accepted forms of payment. You’ll be asked to answer a set of security questions and to provide contact information. Details about your travel plans are not necessary.
Most decisions will be rendered within three days, according to the U.K. government, and travelers will be notified by email.
The ETA is valid for multiple journeys over a two-year period, but if your passport expires earlier, so does your ETA. It’s linked to your passport, which means there is no physical document.
Rejected applicants can apply again.
Travelers who have their ETA applications rejected can apply again, and they will be told why their application was unsuccessful.
However, applicants who are not granted an ETA will need to apply for a visa. There will be no appeal process.
Europeans will be required to have an ETA as of April 2.
Applications for travelers from 34 European nations will open on March 5.
The ETA is distinct from ETIAS.
The European Union is planning to enact a similar program for visa-exempt travelers, called the European Travel Information and Authorization System, or ETIAS. That program has been repeatedly delayed, and is now expected to begin sometime in 2025.
This travel authorization, required to enter 30 European countries, will cost 7 euros, or roughly $7. This will apply to an estimated 1.4 billion people from countries including the United Kingdom, Australia and the United States who can currently travel visa-free throughout much of Europe.

I highly doubt I’m going to be traveling overseas again; there’s really no reason for me to go to Staten Island, Manhattan, or the Bronx.
Even if I decide to for some reason, all I’ll need is my EZ-PASS.

I’ve been lucky enough to hook up a few times with a guy that worked at my hotel. He was up on Grindr and took a break to get broke off in my room 🤣

I've watched some of those videos where a guy is "innocently" jerking off in his hotel room when room service comes. I found them interesting from a voyeuristic perspective (wondering how the waiter reacts) but mostly creepy. However, I recently had two unexpected experiences with *willing* staff at two different hotels!
 
Room Service
 
I ordered room service, and heard a knock on my door right after I got out of the shower. I looked through the peephole and saw that a guy was making the delivery, so I figured it'd be okay to open the door in my towel. The guy was very friendly, and I thought I noticed him checking me out a few times during our brief chat. But I didn't make any moves because I didn't want to offend him/get into trouble if I was misinterpreting the situation. But when I signed the check, he asked whether I would like for him to pick up the cart in about an hour. I'm thinking "Hmm, they typically say nothing at all about that or to call room service at any time/leave the cart in the hallway, right? Interesting." So I said that'd be great. He opened the door to leave but exited somewhat slowly...all the while looking at me...so I knew it was on.
 
I spent the next hour eating and wondering was I was hallucinating his interest? Should just leave the cart in the hallway just in case I'm wrong? If I keep the cart, do I open the door again with only my towel on or should I get dressed? In the end, I figured...if he's going to be bold then so am I. So when he came back as promised, I opened the door naked. He came in, turned on the "do not disturb" sign (it was turn-down service time) and got naked. We jerked each other off, and he left.
 
During the typical brief "how are you this afternoon, sir?" conversation we had when he first came into my room, I mentioned that I thought I might be getting a cold. And wouldn't you know...after milking me dry, he came back with a bowl of oranges so I could get some vitamin C. Bonus!
 
The Club Room
 
I have top-tier status with SPG, so I get club room access when staying at some hotels. You know, that special room where they serve free breakfast, lunch and dinner to fancy people (read: moochers)? Well, as soon as I walked into this club room (different hotel from above), I saw this cute attendant. He immediately came over to say hello and ask my room number (that's his job). But then, like the room service guy, he lingered and made small talk as I went through the buffet line. Then he came over to my table and kept chatting me up and making eyes at me while I ate (this is not his job). When I asked him where the bathroom was, he said he would show me... He actually walked in with me and said he had to use it quickly too. And surprise, surprise, we ended up jerking each other off at the urinals...right there out in the open (definitely not his job, but I wasn't mad)! It was a thrill for both of us.
 
Have any of you had any experiences like those?

No, not as many times as you want, only for 90 days in any 180 day period. So if you are there for 90 days, you have to wait a further 90 days before you can return and the limits apply now before the ETIAS comes into force. And it's not the EU but the Schengen area, and although for most travellers it's effectively the same, the overlap is not complete. It includes non-EU countries like Switzerland, Norway and Iceland, and excludes EU countries Ireland, Romania, Bulgaria and Cyprus. Gibraltar is not in the Schengen area. French and Dutch overseas territories, like those in the Caribbean (and St Pierre et Miquelon!) are also outside Schengen.

I posted this in another thread about bellboys but it fits here, too.
Once while staying at a high end hotel in San Diego, a bellman brought up breakfast, I'd say in his early thirties, athletically built and handsome. I was in a bathrobe with a pair of boxers underneath. My laptop was on the desk and happened to be open to Adam4Adam. He noticed and commented. Something about his comment let me know he was interested, and before you know it the robe was open and he was on his knees. He both deep throated and swallowed.  In chatting briefly afterwards I found out he'd done some gay porn.

Dan the agent provocateur!

Sounds good! I am submitting my application to be the official Company of Men travel correspondent. Fly me all over the country to see what I can uncover.

Reading all the stories in this thread makes me really wanna try to get with a staff member next time I'm staying at a hotel. I think gay guys make great employees in hospitality because you have to be friendly, empathetic, and talkative which is something straight guys are not always the best at.

They actually expected the market to be the same in Berlin as it is in Zurich? That's so interesting to me. Not even the price of water is comparable in those two cities.

There is no change to visa requirements for the Schengen Zone, but new electronic travel authorisations will be required by visa-exempt travellers from an as-yet unspecified date in 2024. The authorisation will allow you to enter via any of the 30 Schengen countries and stay in the zone for up to 90 days in any 180 day period (the 90 days is cumulative, the count does not restart if you leave and re-enter). The UK and Ireland are not part of the zone and have separate entry requirements you'd need to meet.  There are details on this EU web page.
What is ETIAS
TRAVEL-EUROPE.EUROPA.EU The rules of travel to Europe have changed. Starting from 2024, some 1.4 billion people from over 60 visa-exempt...  

Here's a couple that are a decent size.  One has no issue being ridden, and the other is into swinging.

Just reading your post gave me heart palpitations - my Saturday night consisted of sitting in front of the TV with a pot of macaroni and cheese.  The disaster for me was not soaking the pot in the sink and now having to scrub really heard this morning,

That would indeed be amazing!

For what its worth, I do have an update
First of all NO money from them (as if i will get that back)
When this happened I filed a dispute with Venmo  - where I clearly stated I DID SEND the payment but turned out to be a scam. Well Venmo mis-read that and thought someone scammed my account and they suspended my account. 
While finally talking to someone at Venmo who could explain this we had an interesting discussion.  For me to get re-instated I had to do a few simple things.  While not giving specific details and talking in general (person x and person y) I learned their venmo is suspended as well.  They have to go through ALOT more hoops to get re-instated vs. what I did.  ONE of these steps is to explain to venmo why they are not reversing the fee (Recall I sent them the text thread which they stated multiple times they would refund me).
So while its likely I won't get my money back, if I caused them some pain or inconveniences or pain then HELL YEAH as they f-in deserve it.
Also if I can help even ONE other person on here avoid this then that helps as well

No need to.. Trust me I have them
I merely wanted to warn others of these guys, which I have done
Nuff said

Y'all who'd like an intermission might squeeze in watching a long movie next time you're taking a break from...sightseeing....in Switzerland. Intermissions are still a thing there.

Anything but body fat is acceptable to wear 

I have. 

Just the tip?
