It's funny. I believe that my first inkling that I was attracted to guys was when I was 5 or so. I had a friend named Steven, and he had an older brother named Chris, who may have been around 9 or 10. For some reason, the one thing I seem to remember about Chris is that he wore a watch (something I don't think Steven or I did), which somehow made him seem more grown up to me, in addition to his age. Somehow, that was attractive to me - though at that age I had no understanding of sexual feelings yet - I just knew I liked being around him. It's just funny that the watch seemed to play into that.

I'll be listening tonight on Sirius. It's a beautiful and fun score. I wish, though, that I had more affinity for the opera seria format in general. The long strings of da capo arias get tedious for me after a while. Agrippina has a few very short "teases" of ensembles, but I wish there were more.

Damn!!! :p:D:)

Of course, my initial idea in posting this was to talk about more unexpected moments, but the cruising spots are fun to hear about too. I have another incident from back when I was in high school. We were on a 2-week trip to Europe with our high school jazz band and choir. The (male) drummer was dating one of the girls in the choir. On the flight home, I was sitting 2 seats down from them. Most of us fell asleep during the flight. I woke up at one point and was able to notice her head bobbing up and down in his lap. I guess they were taking advantage of everyone being asleep lol. I toyed with the idea of trying to watch, but then thought the better of it, afraid they'd see me watching. So I just closed my eyes and went back to sleep. It's a shame, though - he was hot, and so was she to be honest. I've always regretted not trying to watch lol. A funny footnote - she's now a Facebook friend of mine.

Could have been - but once things got going, I never saw them look up toward my window, so if anything it was probably more a "what the hell" than any attempt to put on a show. I also tend to think that if they were really doing it for my benefit, they would have found a way to show more.

I had an odd experience last night which leads me to think about our curiosities about others having sex. Aside from porn, etc, if you could take a sneak peek at others doing it, would you? Or would you not want to see it? Or would you feel like their privacy is more important than your curiosity? I live on the 3rd floor of a 3-family house, at the end of a street. Beyond the house, visible from my kitchen windows, is a parking lot area, recently redone - I have no idea who's really supposed to be able to park there, but in any case it's usually vacant at night. Last night, as I was about to head to bed, I waked into the kitchen and happened to notice that there was a car, engine running, in the lot, facing my direction. I had to assume that maybe there were 2 people going at it in there, but of course I couldn't see anything. But I looked out for a minute. Then, just a bit curious, I turned off the light to see if I could get a better view. No such luck, but shortly after that, the car started to take off, heading away towards the entrance, then it stopped again. I figured they had seen someone (that is, me) looking, and decided this wasn't safe to do. But after a minute, the car turned around, and came back to the spot it was before, but facing the other way, so the back of the car was facing me. So indeed, maybe they had noticed me, started to run, then decided to try again. Now I was intrigued lol - but obviously I couldn't see anything at all, so there was no reason to keep watch. But then - I came back into the kitchen a minute or two later, in time to see the that a guy had gotten out of the car. (It was a cold night, but ok...) The passenger door was open, and he was facing in towards it. Ok... ...but then I saw his hips begin to thrust a little. Aha! It was hard to tell whether he was getting hand or head, or fucking, but clearly it was sex. The thrusting got faster and harder, and it became clear to me that he was fucking the young lady in the car (I did see her get out of the car later, so I know it was a girl). At this point, I got into high voyeur mode lol - I dared to open the window, and even hike the screen up, to be able to see a bit better. (Remember I'm 3 stories above them.) There wasn't really much to see aside from him moving his hips, but I did hear a bit of grunting as well. He was really seriously going at it, lol. Then, not long after, he pulled away - again, I couldn't see detail, so I can only assume he finished inside her. He zipped up, got back in the driver's seat...she stepped out for a moment then got back in...and they drove away. The funny thing is, I saw so little of the actual sex, but of course my mind was having fun filling in the details. And there was the thrill of having gotten away with seeing it happen. Maybe I felt just a little guilty lol - but hey, it was there to be seen, so why not? Anyone else have an unexpected chance to watch something like that? Especially if you're assuming they don't know you saw them?

Fuck yes! Wishing we could find more action shots like these. Thanks!!

Do you mean a prior meeting? Clearly anyone caught in these stings clearly seemed to think they were going to meet one...

Yes. No question about it. There was also this (see link below) from a few months ago. I don't know this guy, but I know people that do. I have no info on what has happened with him since the arrest, but I assume it's not good news for him. https://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/nyc-crime/ny-broadway-musician-sex-case-20190907-yuwp3k2snrafte24stohytytci-story.html

Agreed. Except it wasn't Taymor (she did the current Magic Flute) - the Butterfly production was Anthony Minghella.

I like that, by the way. Berg wrote it as 3 separate acts (5 scenes each), but I really like it as one act. It keeps the tension in the drama.

I was unable to see this - but you've underlined the 2 major criticisms I've been hearing - the overbusy nature of the production, and the puppet. In terms of the puppet, though I've always been a defender of the same concept in the Met's current Madama Butterfly, there it fits nicely into the production with an Asian theatrical technique. I'd still prefer a live actor, but I can understand the stylized approach. But I don't think I'll feel the same way about the child in Wozzeck, where I don't see how the puppetry ties into the concept of the piece at all. In terms of the production itself, it sounds like there are two shows going on - one by the singers, the other being the set itself. I'm hearing similar things about the new production of West Side Story - that the visuals distract too much from what the actors are doing. I wish directors would trust their casts to do the work instead.

Bumping. Thinking of going for it, but really would love to know if anyone has met him.

This is one reason why I only hire escorts who are willing to talk beforehand (i.e. before meeting) about what I would like to do together. I do understand that some escorts feel more protected by sticking to the "hiring for time only...no talking about details" kind of thing, but I don't feel comfortable in that situation. If I were hiring someone for a "BFE" session, I would still want to discuss what that meant for me, making sure he was on board with that.

I see an odd trend here, with the new Rosenkavalier also set during the same time period, and a bit too heavy on war symbolism for my taste. (The ending is AWFUL.) Maybe eventually everything the Met does will be set during WWI?

I've always been a very orally-inclined person. I don't get into rimming, but I love to let me tongue roam anywhere else, and also love to get blown, though I tend to give more then receive. I've met a number of guys over time who say they can't orgasm from oral sex. For some of them, I've helped change that. Makes me feel proud, lol.

I think for a lot of people it's just human nature to want to know the first name of someone you're in an intimate setting with. Some people love totally anonymous sex, and that's fine, but a lot of us may feel they can be a lot more intimate when on a true first name basis - even when knowing that "stage names" come with the territory in escorting. That said, sort of like Zachary's example earlier in the thread, I would assume escorts choose their escort names because they like something about the image that name implies, etc. So it's not so much that they're hiding behind a name, rather they're creating an image that they feel will be attractive and sexy and alluring. Maybe they actually like that name better than their real name.

Yes - except for the kind of roleplay situations I mentioned in my above post. But then again, I've always really loved the name "Kevin" lol - so if that turns out to be someone's real name that I don't know about, I would hope they'd tell me lol. (And yeah, I like saying someone's name during sex too.)

Being a fan of roleplay, I definitely get this. Some escorts choose to go by other names to keep their real life identities private - but some, like Zachary, are having fun creating a whole alter ego. And in that sense, I agree, if I'm hiring Zachary for what he can uniquely offer, I would expect to be with Zachary. (And I tend to think that even if I found out Zachary's given name, that I'd still want him to be Zachary when we were together. It's all part of the image.) And of course, if Zachary allowed for nicknames (Zach, Zack, Zac, etc) that would be cool too. I've done roleplays with FB's (or FWB's) before, and it can be fun to play in and out of those identities. I've been in situations where we'd plan accordingly - do I want to make it with the real guy tonight or his character, lol. Can be goofy/erotic fun.

For some reason, I love a guy in sneakers. But flip flops can be fun too, given that you can see a lot of the bare foot that way. I really have no interest in dress shoes or boots, etc.

I'm cut, although I do have a little extra skin that got left, but it doesn't cover the head at all. I will say that uncut guys tend to fascinate me - especially seeing the skin slide back and forth over the head. Maybe it's more because I don't have a cock that does that lol? I have met a few guys who really can't retract their skin very far, soft or hard. I definitely prefer when they can.

I sure hope they're not using that to do the deed...

I would agree. But I think some directors feel that "updating" would also have the same effect. For me, I'd rather first get to know the kind of setting the composer most likely envisioned. (I know that's a generality, but I assume everyone knows what I mean by that.)

Anyone have any info on this guy? https://rentmen.eu/Tall_Damien Thanks!

I saw this movie some time ago - I remember liking it. I don't remember all that many details, except somehow I do remember when X's real name gets revealed at the end.
