getting on with the Bel Ami escort gossip, a lot of people message me about "Tom Rogers" of Bel Ami since he recently had a "new" release. He visited DC a few years ago escorting, he's from the same town as my friends, and he grew up and is best friends with "Big" Tom Novolty of porn. "Big Tom" is very tall and muscular and advertises on Romeo more than this Tom. Past that not one of my favorites and most who've met Big Tom feel the same. It's hard to get one Tom without the other. Anyway, Cinderella Story, Tom Rogers is traveling all around the world for the past few months with a rich guy who is flying them business to African safaris, to Key West, to Malta, to Seattle, where they are now on an Alaska cruise. The "new" video of his that Bel Ami released last winter is actually 5 years old. They have a big vault of old vids never released. This is Tom Rogers yesterday: I'm glad he looks happy.

never worked in the biz but observed several friends who visit me long-term and are in the biz. fwiw a few things: 1. Pricing makes a difference in total income and turn over. 2 friends fairly identical but one is a famous porn star. The porn star hates working, the cleaning, the viagra (not trimix), the time waster ad responses etc so mostly sees regulars and keeps his ad off usually. The other advertises as a "masseur" on RentMasseur and charges half as much base but ends up making about the same total because of more clients and up-sells. Both easily make $10K/mo working about 2 or 3 days a week. There's a 3rd who's a famous porn star and does incredibly high turnover at normal rates and makes a fortune that he spends on wife, kid, cars and million-dollar house, but that's maybe unusual. Everyone's personalities and situations are different. 2. Location, location, location. That's not just for real estate. NYC, DC and LA are the top 3 markets by far but there are other ones that come and go. Clients in each of those 3 have completely different personalities. Florida, even in peak is overrated because guys want to go there and work. There are a few clients in Miami but the rest of the state is largely gays on Social Security checks. In fact it's mostly winter tourist trade. OTOH Las Vegas seems to be very good from what I've seen taking friends who work. 3. With Clearview and other background/security companies and even the feds collecting face pics from Rentmen of prostitutes for the facial recognition that is becoming pervasive I would at least hold a cam so as to cover a part of my face in each pic or something on Rentmen. Not a connection you want for the rest of your life. Maybe link to another site with pics or vids. Twitter allows a lot and even IG allows slightly racey photos. Or title yourself a "masseur". 4. The 'big whales" may be good for job recommendations and connections but rarely last and usually keep gifts to less permanent-value things. (see Geffen, Dave). my 2 cents as an observer.

and here's our sweet babuska hitching a ride home from work as the crane operator in the IG above:

All the ones in Brazil, Thermas in Barcelona (no strip show), the ones in Columbia have "massage tables" or cots, Paragonya in Zurich has mats on platforms (no strip show), Thermas even has a special room you can rent with a king-size bed with fresh sheets and a tv. I know the Eagles in Nice and Vienna don't have beds but have a back room sling if that counts. And there was the manager's couch at Secrets DC.

If you speak Spanish it may be easier. TJ is a sexual marketplace. There is at least one gay bar downtown with guys for hire but safety is not high. (or even moderate). I don't speak Spanish, but if you do it may be safer.

To be clear Wilton Manors itself is a small walkable place. In fact Johnson's is next to a gay area that is a former shopping center and there are gay places all across the street. Boardwalk and leBoy are at the edge of $5 Ubers. What it lacks is large chain hotels, although a Courtyard is close. But there are plenty in a $5-$10 Uber area. The beach at Sunrise, the Galleria and the small gay hotels there on the north end of Central Beach are $10 Ubers. I prefer the Las Olas area downtown with it's numerous restaurants and it's $10 Uber to Wilton Manors or the beach. The reason so many strip clubs moved to the Wilton area is that it's a mecca for retired older gay men. "Young" = below 65. The "cool" gay younger types center around Miami with it's huge mixed techno clubs. But at present it doesn't have any bars that are solely strip clubs and have lapdances.

I don't think it's "political" to acknowledge that food stamps being cut by almost $100/mo and the $300/mo child subsidy being eliminated together with amazing consumer inflation for essentials have forced many low-income workers into just giving up. The number of mentally ill people has not just suddenly multiplied. The vast majority of American workers have to drive to work and if I made minimum wage and gas were $4/gal I'd be tempted to say "fuck it" and live out of my car or a tent in their situation too, as many working poor are already doing. How working poor parents are managing with almost $400/mo less support per child is beyond me. I'd think of giving them to the grandparents to raise and pitching a tent out at Land's End too. Things are going really well for those of us lucky enough to be in the upper middle class. For those making $25K it's gotten a lot worse.

I think the mentally ill should be taken in and cared for well and nicely. But the explosion in homelessness the past few years is not from an explosion in mentally ill I don't think. While the upper middle class has doubled recently from 5% to 10% of the population, the "working poor" bottom middle class has taken it on the chin. Just recently the $300/mo child credit was eliminated and SNAP food stamps were cut $100/mo. We never hear about these things because it's not good PR for the government. But people on the border between working and being on assistance are struggling with inflation more than anyone. I think many are just giving up and getting a tent or sleeping in their car.

It's only been a few days going cold turkey off Prilosec after 4 years but I'm not having any noticeable reactions. I did take a Pepcid one day after a slightly spicey meal caused a little belching. I'll still use a Prilosec with any Viagra and a half day later. Now hoping they don't find anything wrong with Pepcid. (Spoiler: They will.) I guess the certainty of daily Prilosec/Nexium was too good to last and "as needed" is always the safer route. I still like our system a lot better than EU where very few things are OTC.

Even with Modern Monetary Theory a society has to decide how much of it's wealth goes to social benefits for citizens and how much goes to war. The US is totally overwhelmingly different than every other country in that. That's not politics, that's just obvious facts and plain sense.

Much better to ask him.

Velvety (Karel) probably drew more gay tourists to Prague for years than anything else. Many of us went a couple times a year just to see him once a day for a week. Unfortunately they "broke the mold" when they made him. Never been another to come close anywhere. A pic of Karel's modeling while he was still a pro hockey player a couple photos from the last time I saw him. He's 34 now. We still talk.

Headed to Berlin in a month and I hear the Axel has devolved/evolved into a sort of brothel. Providers finishing clients and looking for others in the halls, elevators and lobby. I'm wondering how this affects sleep.. Berlin (and it's guys) are so cheap I may get a room at the Hyatt and the Axel. I hope Pinocchio and Tabasco have gotten rid of some of the thugs that made it so dangerous. With all the arts I should do something besides look for sex. but i won't.

is that the same dick???

it's complicated

I'm getting off Prilosec now. Last few days since I read this I've been taking it every other day with just minor heartburn and belching a Tums cured. But to taper off more I intend to rely both on Tums and Pepcid or Zantac (Famotidine) mostly in the future with Prilosec a few hours before and after I use viagra. Are H2 inhibitors like Pepcid and Zantac safer, at least from the dementia danger? Will diet shots (Wegovy etc) interact with any of these badly?

You're using those EU keyboards where everything's in the wrong places.

So many times couples get caught with this question: https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cv2vDtKrniY/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Never thought of that. Is there an "Ocean Waves and Seagulls" track to listen to?

definitely a hotel hire or you'll be washing hairs and styling gel out of your sheets for weeks.

and look at the paragraph a Google search gives you up top. Google is so dead now.

A doc (not mine) at Kaiser mentioned to me several years ago that many people take Prilosec every day, as if it were non-harmful. I find the way to get off it is to skip a day for a week then 2 days and then just use it when severe heartburn happens, along with Tums the first day and with Tums after quitting as needed. Of course not eating much and not using Cialis or Viagra is required and I'm not giving up my Cialis, even if I have to starve. There's also the immediate-effect strong over the counter Pepcid. Glad I read this. I'll be tapering off asap and switching to Tums and Pepcid as needed with a couple days of Prilosec only when really bad. (And if I know i'll be doing a lot of Viagra I'll do Prilosec a little earlier and next day.)

That kid's straight out of central casting for an Italian-American movie. Tony Soprano's lost kid. A Fonz remake. Or a Jersey Shore parody. He needs to send his pics to Hollywood agents. Especially the hair.
