I love Bandelier -  the pine trees smell like vanilla...  

I had a boyfriend (briefly) who looked like this guy, red hair included, back in the 70's. He left for London to pursue a career in dancing. Failed at that and became an architect. Died of AIDs in 1994. His name was Bruce. I recently donated a quilt his mother had made to a charity. I hung onto it all these years but it only meant something to me.

exactly this 
similar to a house on fire while the residents argue about which tv channel to watch
it’s not a right side or left side issue - it’s both sides, together with insidious systemic corruption.  which is why the partisan arguments & polarization is so terribly misguided.  But, that’s precisely what they want - a public largely distracted from the big picture and tearing each other down while the thieves are at work
back to the original post re: SF - it’s very complicated and a complete understanding of SF history is required in context with extreme economic disparities exacerbated by the various tech booms.  I suspect few are interested in these complex discussions, but rather 2d analysis to confirm what they already believe about the city

Does he intend to continue escorting after you marry? Do you intend to keep hiring when you are in the mood? Are you both in agreement about whether or not monogamy is part of the arrangement? Will you both agree to keep talking honestly about issues like these? ( If you protest that they will not come up for either of you, you are both fooling yourselves.) Have you met any of his friends? Has he met any of yours? What will you tell people when they ask how you met? (Believe me, they will.) Are you comfortable about telling the truth to friends? Do you have a lawyer with whom you can discuss the legal and financial situation frankly? Like it or not, marriage is a much more social affair than sexual interaction is.
I am not a nay-sayer about the possibility of genuinely falling in love at first arousal: my spouse and I decided on the day that we met that we would be together forever, and that has lasted 55 years--though not without rough patches, which both of us had to be willing and able to work through. I would still advise you to go slow before making any commitments that would be really messy to disentangle. Vegas777's suggestion above may have been made humorously, but it's not a bad one.
