    bostonman got a reaction from Luv2play in Overused and empty words   
    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.

    Can we please get rid of the phrase "going viral?" Especially in our current era?

    Your post is totally fine. And yes, in my experience they have had very good hygiene. They have also been very in tune with their bodies and seem to be very proud of the genitals they have. And, they've all been very supportive of the idea that I'm pretty brand new to this and want to learn. So hopefully you'd find yourself in the same kind of company, with a transguy who is eager to help you learn something new and different. :-)
    And btw, I have thoroughly enjoyed my experiments in "dining" down there. No, it won't ever replace sucking dick lol, but speaking as someone who enjoys using my tongue all over someone's body, it's nice to have finally gotten the chance to do this.

    The opening music of Der Rosenkavalier is literally about sex - including a rather orgasmic horn fanfare towards the end of the prelude. 
    There's also some literal "sex music" in Shostakovich's "Lady Macbeth Of Mtsensk" with a trombone comically giving us the graphic story...:-)

    I listened on Sirius, following along with the vocal score. LOVED it. 
    I had seen Aucoin's opera "Crossing" when it was produced in Boston a few years back. I was very taken by the music, but found the story and libretto to be sub par. This time, I feel he has a really good match in Sarah Ruhl's libretto based on her own play. I'm looking forward to the HD transmission.

    It’s a tough thing. I’d love to hire a black guy with a big cock if he intrigued me in general. But all these self-proclaimed “BBC” guys tend to present themselves in very unattractive ways, personality-wise in particular. I guess there’s a big market for that, otherwise they wouldn’t do it. But I find it a big turnoff.

    Different people mourn and commemorate in different ways. For a man who has had several heart attacks in his life, I'd say 91 is pretty damn good. And I would think he's led a pretty full life. But still, losing him is very sad. For me, extremely sad, as I've spent so much of my career with his music, and his work has influenced my life a great deal. Even as that legacy lives on, it's still hard to face the fact that he's gone.
    I'll be musical director for a production of Into The Woods this spring - it will surely be a bittersweet experience so soon after his passing. (Callback auditions are mid-January, not very long from now.) But I'm also extremely glad I get to spend a few months with that score again - it will be a great way to commemorate him. 
    I'd say we not judge words like "tragedy" and just let people feel as they choose to feel. `
    And of course, much as Hammerstein was a mentor to Sondheim, Sondheim was a mentor to the young Jonathan Larson, who was just shy of 36 when he died unexpectedly, just as his groundbreaking musical Rent started previews off-Broadway. "Sometimes people leave you halfway through the wood." In the case of Sondheim, we're incredibly lucky to have had his talents around us for so many years. But he was working on another show - which now of course we will never see. (Though hopefully a song or two will be leaked?)

    bostonman got a reaction from + FrankR in TV Commercials You Hate?   
    They are all awful. The emu thing has just gotten tedious. The latest batch of "Flo" ads I've never even seen all the way through (I just mute them and turn away from the TV). The worst ones may be the "Car Shield" ads with Ice-T, which don't even try to be funny, they're just bad. 
    The only ones that I did actually find funny for a while were the Progressive "sign spinner" ads (the guy playing the sign spinner is kinda cute lol) - but even those have overstayed their welcome. 
    The really weird thing is how it feels to me that the car insurance ads in particular (and the ads for cars themselves) seem to have picked up a lot in the last year. So - during the worst of the pandemic, people were staying home more, travelling less, and yet this was the time to sell cars and car insurance???

    bostonman got a reaction from + glutes in I am tired of being called Hun Honey Darling Love & Babe.   
    I have a regular who will sometimes use "Babe" with me and I find that kind of sweet. 
    I'm allergic to "Hun" - I've had (female) clerks occasionally use that, and I find it weird. 
    In my own professional life, as a college professor, but in theatre, where things often are much more casual than in typical academia, our students all tend to refer to us by first names, which is fine. But I love when I get emails from freshmen calling me "Professor" lol. (I tell them my first name is fine.)
    The oddest thing was a theatre director I worked with for a long time in a youth theatre company who often used to refer to me  as "Mr. [first name]" - especially around the kids. It made me feel like a character on a kid's TV show or something.

    I have hired a few, mainly because yes, as a very orally-centric guy, I do have an interest in exploring "down there" but never had with a cis woman - but I really liked the idea of trying it with a trans guy. (As I've told them, I really like the feeling of the male presence, even with the female parts.)
    It's been fun. All three of the trans guys I've met have been very friendly, very sensual/sexual, and very eager to help me broaden my experiences. 
    There are two trans guys currently advertising on RM in Boston, one I met recently and the other I hope to hire in the near future. The one I met, a few weeks ago - I told him that not only would I love some more experience (with some friendly guidance as well), but that my real dream would be to be able to bring a trans guy to orgasm. He told me (as the others have also) that just oral probably wouldn't be enough to do that. But guess what - I wound up giving him a clitoral orgasm, which he seemed very surprised about. That made me feel really special, lol. 
    I am sure I will plan to continue hiring trans guys - I'm glad that they are more visible than they used to be.

    Yes! Absolutely loved it. It's a very powerful piece, beautifully performed and directed. I thought the music was gorgeous. And, one doesn't typically go to the opera to see a step dance, but wow, that was fun!
    Unless there are issues with rights and royalties, I have to imagine the Met will release this on DVD. But at very least, I'm sure it will be on the "on demand" site soon enough.
