aw, c'mon!.....How could you not go with the “Roughrider State"? Peace Garden State….seriously?

We’ve all done it to one degree or another. Don’t beat yourself up about it, but do learn from your mistakes. Feelings are ok. Losing grip on reality is not. It’s a fantasy. Nothing more, nothing less. You have always been and will always be wrong when you think "a mutual thing" is developing. This really shouldn’t be a newsflash for you. Still, don’t let it ruin your fun. Learn to enjoy the fantasy. What rooms? Where? Are you stalking him? I hope I’m misreading this statement because it sounds creepy and unhealthy as fuck. You need to remember that this is a "hobby". It’s not real life. Don’t let your heart get involved. If you start developing real feelings for a provider, I suggest you disclose that to them immediately. Then stop seeing them. He may be fond of you. He may even "like" you. But in the words of Avenue Q, he doesn’t "like you, like you, like you like him". I know it hurts, and yes most if not all of us have had to go through the difficult phase you’re going through right now. The good news is, if you can learn to navigate it and stay in control of your emotions, this hobby can be damn fun. Like REAL fun. But if you need or want love, look somewhere else. You’re fishing in the wrong pond.

At least a banana is biodegradable. I’m all for fucking fruits……grin

Disposable toys for masterbation? Really? The end is near!

Please, if the Ottomans (who had been ruling Athens for over 350 years) hadn’t turned them over to the British in the very early 1800’s the entire thing would be dust by now. The Greeks should thank the Brit’s for saving their heritage and be stupendously happy with the high quality reproductions that now sit in an Acropolis museum. Today it’s an idiotic political football. Nothing more. I hope the British protect them για πάντα (forever).

That show really was the unexpected highlight of my resent trip to London. Thanks for sharing. Strangely, there haven’t been any pics from the Yoko Ono show at the Tate Modern yet…….grin

I don’t recognize the room with the giant snowball chandeliers. Where is that?

Any attorney will tell you that "charged" and "sued" are a million miles away from "convicted". Verbal abuse in and of itself is not a crime. If the verbal abuse veers into threats of bodily harm, that’s another matter. But it’s a well established fact that merely calling someone a "f-ggot" is not a crime. Yes, I’m an ardent defender of the 1st amendment, even when it hurts.

Ummmm…they’re related. It’s just not an absolute or 1:1 relation. You need to do your homework and know what you’re buying. Most expensive things I’ve bought have been worth every penny…..because I did my homework.

Unfortunately, they’re both in the middle of the fucking desert. It’s just not my thing. For vacation? I prefer Vegas. For living? I’m gonna have to keep looking. If you made me choose….ugh…. Vegas for the variety and quality of restaurants. Palm Springs for the community. Also for the record, I would never buy a house on land that I didn’t own.

Just stumbled on this one today. It’s a small study of Chinese gay men who are primarily tops, but if the numbers hold up it’s damn impressive. After one year, no one in the circumcision group got HIV while about 4% of the control group did. Previous studies have shown about a 50% reduction in HIV transmission in heterosexual African males following circumcision. So I wouldn’t expect the "zero transmission" rate to hold up in larger studies, nonetheless it appears to have an effect. Circumcision for HIV Prevention Gao Y et al. Ann Intern Med 2024 May 28 Among men who have sex with men in China, voluntary medical circumcision reduced risk for HIV infection. The intervention was highly effective: No HIV seroconversions occurred among 124 men receiving circumcision at study entry, and 5 HIV seroconversions occurred among 123 men in the control group (P=0.025). No between-group differences in risk for other sexually transmitted infections (HSV-2, syphilis, and penile HPV) were noted.

Basing your entire business model on a "few bad apples", is an incredibly bad idea. For the record, I’m not talking to @Jarrod_Uncut, whom I know will disagree and ignore my advice. I’m talking to @Tony_tx, for whom I have a great deal of sympathy. We’ve all been there. Chalk it up as a learning lesson. Think about ways you can avoid a similar situation, without harming your overall business plan.

Here I am trying to plan a nice diner with you….and you’re out fucking every whore in town. grin

You KNOW you got fucked GOOD, when you can’t even type about it without your fingers going all crazy on you…..grin.

Why are you making me work? grin

The right to free speech and acts of physical violence are two completely separate things. They are often confused and it can easily lead to unfortunate outcomes. In the above scenario, you’d be spending a lot more time in jail and paying a much bigger penalty than the mouthy homophobe/racist. Not because of "systematic homophobia/racism in our justice system", but because you didn’t understand the basic difference between actions and words. In my world, you can say whatever you want. But touch me?…and you’re gonna get fucked up.

Please, the "Princess of Monticeto" doesn’t have cancer. She chose to leave the royally inner circle and all the protections provided to those within. Any attempt to blame the monarchy is pure "poor little rich girl" buffoonery.

Another example of escorts who confuse RentMen with Grindr.

Yes. Yes, you should. He’s an excellent Brazilian bottom….or so I’ve heard. grin

I loved: Operation Mincemeat WWW.OPERATIONMINCEMEAT.COM Official box office for Operation Mincemeat: A New Musical Opening in the West End at The Fortune Theatre. Previews From March 29th 2023 Tickets... I did not love: Standing at the Sky's Edge | National Theatre WWW.NATIONALTHEATRE.ORG.UK The multi-award winning new British musical is now storming the West End, set to the irresistible songs of legendary Sheffield singer-songwriter Richard... It wasn’t horrible, but I honestly can’t remember one song and I thought the cast was weak.

Been there, done that. I’ll see your drunk flip flopless feet on Duvall and raise you a pair of soaked jeans from "falling" into the pool at Bourbon Street just to flirt with a cute dude. It all seemed like a good idea at the time. Now there’s a shirtless, drunken, cold, wet, barefoot, walk of shame home back to the Island House that I’ll never forget. It still brings a smile to my face. And yes, my first (of many) trips to Key West was inspired by you @BenjaminNicholas. Thanks for the memories!

Any time! I’ll be around all summer.

Holy crap, he’s in NYC right now. Why didn’t any of you fuckers tell me?!?! grin
