Yup - yet another first time poster coming out of the blue to defend a very unpopular escort. Just amazing. And not credible. We've seen this happen so many times. 
J.T. is that you? 

Ok - I'll volunteer.
 
(I'm not going to name the escort as I think that would put this too much in the review category. But I do want to describe the experience. I hope this is kosher for the site.)
 
Background - though I've always pretty much identified as gay, I did date a few girls in college, though we never went all the way. I'm a very oral-oriented guy, and one thing I've always been curious about is going down on a woman. But I've never gotten up the nerve to find a woman to hook up with for that purpose. Actually, I've always thought what I'd really love to do would be to meet with a M/F couple, and having him demonstrate and coach me - but also because having the male presence in the room with me would be both a turn-on and a comfort. So, as the presence of FTM's have become more prominent, I figured this might be a good way of experiencing both in one person.
 
The escort I hired was very handsome, boyish, friendly, and happy to help me fulfill my desires. After some making out, etc, - and I'll refer to him in male pronouns for now - he stripped down and let me have my first real intimate look at a "front hole" as it were. I have to say that I was much more turned on than I even expected to be. He showed me how to finger him, which I enjoyed doing, and then encouraged me to use my tongue. His only provision was that he said he didn't orgasm easily, and wouldn't fake it, lol. But he let me go at it for a good long time, and seemed to be enjoying it. I would have liked more guidance, to know for sure that I was doing it right, but given that he let me keep going, I have to assume I was doing ok.
 
So yes - it was intensely erotic for me, though I would have found it moreso with more involvement from him. (Though I don't mean to make it sound like he wasn't involved - he was - just not as much as I would have liked.) Would I do it again? I think so. And I would definitely say that, as I expected, part of the fun of the experience for me was that to me he was very much a "guy," just with female genitalia. I liked the male/male dynamic but with the ability to explore a different part of the anatomy.
 
I hope that helps.

I would disagree. I think it certainly is.

Oh, William, my dear. Foxy said it was the best thing THEY have seen in years. Not you. Foxy. Who probably didn't see the original Gypsy. Plus, "in years" doesn't necessarily mean "for all time," just "in a certain span of years."
I'm sure the original Gypsy was more than amazing. And we love your enthusiasm for the old days. But call off the dogs, please. 
 
 

I don't know how they did the transformation in that revival (which I think was largely a sub-par production), but in the original, Bernadette had a stage double (both of them wearing hoods so you really couldn't see their faces clearly) standing in during the scene. You *heard* Bernadette say the lines, but you weren't actually seeing the real her the whole time. Until the reveal. 

I worked with Jen some years back, in the Boston company of Nunsense in its last few years - she played Sister Amnesia. So funny, always. And a great lady also. I'm so thrilled to see where she has gone over time.

Her songs in "The Band's Visit" had a conversational quality that a number of Sondheim roles do also have - but not Bobby (Bobbie), who indeed really has to let it go and sing in a much more conventional "leading role" way. But I'd be intrigued to see Lenk play a role like Desiree, or Fosca. I think she'd be great in roles like that. 

They really shouldn’t say things like that. I do believe that some people would then continue to leave off their mask IN ORDER TO see if Lupone would  actually stop the show.

This is one of at least 2 moments where the cast album gives one a completely wrong impression on how a scene actually works. The other is "One Night Only" where, on the album, the Dreams seem to "steal" the song from Effie right in the middle of her rendition - and it feels like a true theatrical coup. But unfortunately, in the show, there's a scene that happens between the two versions of the song, giving the scene a very different feel. (Whereas the actual show version makes more sense in terms of plot, the cast album adaptation has a certain theatricality/energy that I really love.)

Me too. I finally had to block his number after his texting with me got very abusive. Then he texted me back on a 2nd number to tell me to  google myself to find out I was blacklisted (which was phony of course). I blocked him for a 2nd time. That seemed to do the trick. 
Never again. 

Moderator's note: This thread is about Company. Let's not have it go down the rabbit warren of a general discussion about standing ovations. It's fine to comment about whether this performance deserves one, but if you want to have a broader discussion, start a new thread on Standing Ovations.

I've rarely seen a standing O mid-performance in any show. I wonder if some people are taking Lupone too literally when she ends the song with "everybody rise...rise...rise..." etc, lol. 
And yes, standing O's are way too routine nowadays. But I will also say that the cliche of "the audience leapt to its feet" is never the case. In my experience, standing O's always start with a few people, and it gradually catches on - and for some people it's about standing only because they no longer can see in front of them, and/or they don't want to appear to be a party pooper when everyone else around them is standing. 
And invariably, there are some people who stand primarily because they want to be noticed. Much like the idiots who can't even wait for the last note of an aria in an opera to start yelling "bravo" - it's a part of an ego trip to be the first one to get there. Even if a "bravo" or a standing O are not really warranted.

Yeah - I find myself oddly drawn to that aspect - not usually, but somehow this time. But I think I'd rather have just the outward appearance of sketchy, lol, not the real deal. So I dunno...
 

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?

I'm probably not the best guy to answer as I have never been with a cis woman - but I will say in the trans experiences I've had there really has been no particular scent I've noticed. As far as taste, I sense a bit of sweetness when I really get my tongue inside, but nothing really around the clit/labia area. 
To be more blunt, no fish. But then again I've been told that that's more of a myth or at least not something to be expected if the area is clean. 
I would bet, though, that a guy used to cis females might be able to make a better comparison. 

Ok - I'll volunteer.

With Erik and Ben both calling attention to their big feet (yum), I’m thinking I’m going to have to try this out when they make their way to Boston soon. Hopefully my budget can support that lol. 

I will never forget meeting Russ. He was wonderful. Aside from the session, one other moment still sticks with me. This wasn't my first hire, but it was the first time doing it on a business trip in a hotel in a different city, instead of an outcall at my Boston apartment, and I was a little nervous. I remember going up to my room with Russ, and fumbling just a little with my door card to get into the room. Then I felt a reassuring arm fold around me, from that adorable big strong hunk I had literally just met in the lobby moments before. From then I knew I had picked the right guy. :-)

I wish I were into the facial hair - but it’s too much of it for me. 

I grew up with the ballet terminology of "en pointe" (very often Americanized as "on point"), and understood the other meaning of "on point" to mean "to stay on the subject." It was when I started hearing it in the context of hookups to mean being "good looking/in shape" that I thought was strange. If a guy asked me if I was "on point" I would tend to tell him that I wasn't a ballet dancer - which would confuse the hell out of them lol.
