  1. I will go a step further as it is essentially the end of summer and my assessment is based on 4 months of observations, a dozen or more rounds by decision so to speak. Campus. Subtract Malik’s sporadic presence, still Campus by a long shot.
  2. Or read earlier in the thread, because well why not put all viral diseases under a coronavirus topic? lol The same RSV vaccine, GSK’s Arexvy, was approved in Canada 2 months ago. It will not be publicly funded and the word on the street is that it will cost recipients $250-300 for a dose. The inoculation temporal benefit tentatively put forward is deemed to be two seasons (15-18 months?), so avoid uptake randomly throughout the year as had been the CoV vaxx trend because you may just get one season of protection, for example, if jabbed in April. Or be mindful of north-south hemisphere incidence variables, etc. if you are longstay in the southern hemisphere Nov-Mar, the chances of catching RSV are much lower. I am considering it, but mindful of the point made by @Unicorn regarding age and the recommended threshold of 75 years, stated by an InfDis conference presenter, as I am not nearly 75, I am healthy and fit, and not around older folks or very young children this winter.
  3. The thing about Rentmen’s current Terms of Use is that sexually explicit content is prohibited across all components of the platform outside of members’ negotiations among themselves vis-a-vis the optional Private Gallery section. If this is actually a new overall regulatory update, perhaps reflecting that Rentmen wishes more distance, notwithstanding the consideration of profit margins raised by others here, then I would not advise that an Escort renew a costly GOLD subscription without determining whether the Terms of Use have actually been substantially revised along the image content dimension compared to before times. I don’t have a Time Machine to assess Terms of Use alterations. If they have been rewritten, or if their application will formally align with the clearly worded content restrictions, there may be more prospective changes as far as content allowance within Premium and Video Gallery image categories. Otherwise, I might see the recent changes as merely a tightening up of the positioning of pornographic, erotic, explicit, prurient, what have you, content according to their fundamental position of plausible deniability in terms of advocating commercial sex work (aka compensated time), and the advertising content typically associated with promoting same. In sum, are the recent changes punctuated as opposed to a preliminary step in a sequence? Will the status quo of ‘looking the other way’ from a contradiction between stated rules and actual content be upheld? Might there be more to come beyond first-line image content adjustment that is non-volitional from the point of view of many subscribers? Be mindful that payment equals Terms of Use acceptance. I realize that a bait-and-switch would be suicide for Rentmen unless there is a way to salvage the content that members desire, and Private Galleries may always ensure content preservation in that the platform offers a direct conduit between members. The fly in the ointment is not knowing if Rentmen, based in Europe, is feeling under pressure to revise its framework. This cannot be divorced from the very recent (mid-Sept) complex and controversial European Parliament vote, perhaps more symbolic than binding at this juncture, in which sex work was deemed exploitive and not legitimately valid as a profession, this vote yet falling short of fully endorsing the Nordic abolitionist model.
  4. There is a method for Rentmen members to be spared 40% of the membership fees for any duration purchased. It’s irrelevant to me but simple to figure out.
  5. Aah, right, not to confuse Man Premium League with Premier League. I also just realized the platform has the courtesy of not overtly labelling non-GOLD and non-PREMIUM, and that GOLD providers are listed first chronologically.
  6. That tracks somewhat like CAPTCHA identification. If they can see and ✅ for themselves the x-rated pics in the image grid it authenticates their user potential as non-robots open to transmitting affluenza.
  7. The Saturday-to-Sunday “White Night” event is for The Village zone, not just Campus. It’s a pilot project, and the date is aligned with Paris’ annual Nuit Blanche 1st Saturday of October. However, that might be co-incidental because most Canadian Thanksgiving weekends are the second weekend of October and I would think in future the White Night would correspond to Thanksgiving weekend and the now defunct Black&Blue event that formerly brought in circuit tourists.

  8. I think that the research wisdom is that any antibody level gives some protection; higher antibody levels give more protection; and previous infection adds more protection from re-infection than the protection infection-naïve get against first infection, assuming antibody level is classified/binned the same way, where S antibodies are induced by infection, vaccination, or both. At an individual level, remaining infection free or re-infection free theoretically rests on antibody level (controlling for other risk factors, as you already indicated is important), but breakthrough infection is possible for anybody. Your acquiring re-infection at what you think was a lower if not lowest personal antibody level does not substantiate the theory any more than a person’s non-infection over time at a negligible antibody level refutes it. I think that vaccination (re)uptake timing is arbitrary, that is, erroneously suggestive of the irrelevance of antibody levels because the relative hazards of infection risk predicated on antibody levels are extremely difficult to translate into a time-stratified model for vaccination. Moreover, it would be cost-prohibitive to repeatedly assess everybody’s antibody levels for the sole purpose of determining acceptable deviations in any direction from arbitrary vaccination timelines.
  9. Please check with your physician what you received. Do not go on hearsay. The updated mRNA vaccines were approved Sept. 12th. That said, you likely received the now outdated bivalent booster, and providers were calling it ‘the latest’ at the time (even recently) as the updated vaccine news was gradually getting on the news radar, and product typically not yet supplied for general consumption. But they were supplied in trials. Slim slim slim chance your physician had trial subjects, though study supply would/should be deployed strictly for them. Confirm anyway, I suggest. Always be clear about what was injected. If you need the updated version a bit sooner than 2 months (see below), for example a trip abroad given the current variant, it probably won’t hurt you, but you should seek formal consultation about such a move. The delay is as much to enhance immune response as to avoid adverse reaction. In fact, some people with a booster history will receive two consecutive updated doses to maximize protection. It’s not necessarily overdoing it to go off-label for a good reason and your provider is on board. The official USA guidance is minimum 2 months delay between the last bivalent booster and the updated vaccine. This suggests that you are certainly not alone in the timing of your latest booster (likely what you assume you got). Some folks simply hit the timing for a summer booster due to their particular (ie, 6 month) lapse from the previous dose. Again, upcoming and in fact already available doses are called updated, not booster, in order to line up the current reality and associated language terms with, say, annual influenza vaccination.
  10. Good news. I was incorrect in my forecast of approval timeline for the new Novavax candidate. The lag time has been 3 weeks. It was given Emergency Use Authorization today based on non-clinical data. I will likely consider this option eventually if approved in Canada. Novavax 2023-2024 COVID-19 Vaccine Now Authorized and Recommended for Use in the U.S. - Oct 3, 2023 IR.NOVAVAX.COM This Emergency Use Authorization and CDC recommendation makes Novavax's vaccine the only protein-based...
  11. As you can see, the first vid’s opening frame still image is not blurred. In fact, when See More is activated, the two first vids in the collection do not have the still image blurred out. It is only when All Videos is activated that all of the opening frame still images, including the first two, are blurred out. Therefore, as a Basic Client I detect that I have seen a few robust erections (or other more x-rated images) sometimes one and sometimes two, likely by accident and not design, as the Escort (I believe whether he has either Basic or Gold status) simply coincidentally had that representation at the very opening of a vid scene. Obviously, if done by design some tweaking may be necessary given the vid dimensions on the platform. Also mindful of dimming features relative to your baseline still, and the positioning of the encircled play button relative to the image content. Or simply create a video with the desired opening play frame. Actually, a video of any length can be created from a still photo. Using iPhone video feature that screenshoots, or iMovie. Again, the position and framing strategy applies. This may amount to a potential workaround that the site may sabotage and eventually blur out according to their agenda. Or perhaps they will sort out such content with their human assessment team or AI, whatever method is being employed. In which case the one or two videos with which you aim for stealth mode would be deployed lower in the video cluster, if not an across-the-board blurring for all advertisers’ vid collection. Actually, one’s second video exclusively depicting the desired image might be most applicable strategically because the hall monitors would need to engage the See More step.

  12. Erm, no. Let it go, or take a solitary path. You do a search and summarize if you like. This thread is rife with antipathy and the minutiae of definitional criteria of transmission terms are secondary to the topic question. I have no need or desire to cling to the coattails of Waterloo battle enactors. I have gone as far as I can to neutralize the discord by weighing in with what I perceive to be accurate data. Start a new thread if you will. I may circle back around the Day of the Dead, but that is the actual term with which I would describe the current status of this topic in the water. Such impasses are not uncommon. No shame, no blame. it’s been fun, but COVID is in my rear view mirror. I need to bone up again on prostate cancer surveillance and intervention decision trees. I have awareness of the diligent manner in which some contributors here attempt to offer insight in that domain.
  13. Some of the literature conflates contact with exposure, or is inherently contradictory about how either is distinctive from infection. As I understand it, if exposure occurred the pathogen entered the host. Similarly, if sunlight is implicated in skin cancer then something intermediary happened between being in sunlight and dermatological malignancy, because we all get sun. It seems to me that a tripartite distinction is in order regarding being surrounded environmentally by a pathogen, that pathogen having made a true runway touchdown onto a host, and whether it crashes and burns within the host at a minimal, barely observable or a benign level, or worse. If I went to my physician and told him that I thought I had HIV-related physiologically induced symptoms as a result of a verified receptive anal intercourse exposure to a trick’s jizz, without PrEP uptake on my part, also let’s say verifiable vis-a-vis the trick’s viral non-suppression (aka NOT undetectable), all in the context of my own historical HIV-negative status, I would have had HIV bouncing off my rectal wall for a period of time, [let alone seminal particles flying around and breathed in depending on the encounter; of course I jest absurdly]. However, the chances of infection seroprevalence in testing follow-up would be approximately 1.5%, as already referenced in other threads. That would be an exposure with low likelihood of infection and one might assign a relativistic value of robustness versus wimpyness to HIV transmission compared to other pathogens. PEP would be applicable but the manifestation of my reported symptoms, whatever their source, would likely be latent and fall beyond the PEP option window, so its role is moot for purposes of the example. The clinician would likely use ‘exposure’ nomenclature, based on my behavioural description, not say I had an HIV contact or was in contact with the virus, though neither of those is semantically outrageous. The clinician would inquire about interactive contacts. If diagnosed, public health would label a person as a contact in management terms. The assessment would obviously call for the conventional procedure for such STI testing. In this example HIV exposure is not infection because not all exposures result in infection. The relationship between exposure risk and the culmination of infection hinges on both exposure episode quantity and chance, and in many cases host variables, eg, other STIs on board, or for example inoculation in the case of CoV. CoV has low contagion wimpiness and exposure rates are high because it’s much harder to avoid infected human transmission vectors than to keep cum out of your asshole, for most. It is also unlikely that a single genuine exposure poses a mere 1/72 transmission probability of actual infection. However, like for HIV, CoV exposure does not guarantee infection (and subsequent manifestation of nucleocapsid antibodies that verify true infection seroprevalence). Obviously, infection denotes that exposure occurred, from a contact or from being in contact with the virus to such a degree that exposure ensued. Immunity surveillance data support the reality that the cumulative pandemic infection escape rate across all age groups put together is in the 15-20% range, yet higher for older folks. That metric diminishes over time as would be expected. There is no established arbitrary clinical or colloquial term for the breadth of that metric. It is simply an estimated absolute number between 0 and 100. It is reasonable to assume the exposure escape rate is less, and the contact escape rate is negligible and applies to lighthouse keepers and the like. If I pilfered 8 jelly beans from my little niece’s stash of 50 jelly beans, and claimed it to be negligible, a few, a handful, &c, consensus would be lacking as we stared each other down. Aspersions might be cast upon me, by other adults present, much to my protest, about my attempting to gaslight her. Her dentist might side with me regarding the amount significance. It would be far easier to purchase my own candy. The trend for infection escape among older folks may be attributable to more assiduous public health prevention adoption among older folks and their contacts’ sensitivity to illness severity vulnerability. That is a good thing if it is actually a central basis of lower infection rates because morbidity, mortality, and health system burdens are associated with this age subgroup’s infection incidence. Beating a dead horse, the query about SARS-CoV-2 infection-induced insomnia would prompt verification of infection that naturally proceeded in linear fashion from viral exposure.
  14. 150 to the house and no self-stim? In Montreal we call that Bastille Day.
  15. That, along with pay range, in Brazil multiples of the above. I can feel like a skinflint even with the occasional more opportunistic provider upsell trends. The Vancouver condom wrapping would itself have been predictive of the apologist battle …
  16. Again, impossible to establish a ‘going’ rate, but related discussion keeps the board lubricated I suppose. This summer in Montreal a bilingual Brazilian that straddles both sides of the border. 400USD in north-east USA quadrant listed. Offered 200CAD(150USD). Fun enough but would not repeat; nothing to do with the choreography and my sense was I didn’t get a ‘half-portion’ (the withholding or upsell attempt type of dynamic) based on amount, but just didn’t click. Yet possess the historical capacity to click at a repeat rate of 150-200 same guy bookings at 300CAD here. But sealing that recent deal by old-timey verbal phone convo took all of 2 minutes and I arrived on foot at the exact appointed time. So no time where for him time is money squandered. He earned commensurate with an upper price tier lap dance sesh. I merely sucked up 60 minutes of what seemed to be otherwise his late afternoon chill time. Next slide Toronto summer visit. OF dude lusted after for some years. Only ever profile earning more than 1 month ponied up by me among some half dozen or more total hottie inventory platform purchases over past few years. Ad-negative. 400CAD(300USD) of an early evening; and same deal the following mid morning. Rating; Top 5 spanning over 3 decades. An experience like that can tide me over for several weeks, months even. Moreover, embedded 1:1 memories supplementing cache of images. No problemo with forking over 400CAD regularly in Montreal for someone like that. As I already suggested, the unique option that may actually have the flavour of hen’s teeth level incidence can earn the equivalent of a single faithful punter’s provincial or federal income tax, tax-exempt for the other. That said, the fickleness of enthusiasm may come into play in unpredictable fashion. Market value is often illusory. It be like all meals would run at equivalent to St-Hubert tab for typical chicken dinner combo. Say what?
  17. You are likely quite right. I cannot place “R” although I was very regularly at the 2 clubs from 2004 and on. Alfie was exactly age 20 fifteen years ago. I am pretty sure that Alfie had rolled in to Stock with a buddy, also from Hungary, in their early 20s. In any case the friend danced for 2 summers and was in university, but Alfie stayed.
  18. In The Village, illegal semi-public transactional sex is facilitated for dozens of punters weekly within a few block radius. Doesn’t get much more liberal than that. Frottage+ is a cottage industry. Some circulating gatekeepers may come across as abrasive in keeping the house party afloat but that yard guard dog-grade village hyper vigilance tracks in this context.
  19. I finally watched RRR and thoroughly enjoyed it. What a wild ride.
  20. It was on my radar but I forgot to tune in. I should get in the habit of downloading at least 1st episodes of shows that I think could be good. Then there would be a list easier to keep track of and jog memory right within the app. One thing I like about Netflix and Apple is the option to speed through boring parts aimed at stretching out the length. My TV service has cut out Netflix viewing option on the set and I am reduced to my iPhone.
  21. So then, he’s keen on client background including mine.
  22. The history of stings in the area has been the targeting of hetero male johns and female sex workers, sometimes operationally distinct, other times overlapped. The concept of controlling human trafficking and dissuading men from hiring women seems to have been central to the police activities. While communication may be with a bogus that is male undercover yet posing online as female, it seems that in-person female undercover officers posing as escorts for the most art are finalizing the bust. No indication of charges related to MSM sex trade. Speaking of which the location brings to mind the Cape-located recent TV/streaming crime drama series Hightown. The main actor also had a small role as Tina in the movie Bros.
  23. Heck, in Colombia this year I texted a strip club host with whom I had already had back room fun time. I cryptically entered a number I thought he would automatically grasp as generous yet befitting, and representative of cash, given the previous club transaction, and expected a response of OK or 👍. He responded: “Did you write that you will pay me [X]?” Perhaps he wished to simply clarify denomination currency. Nevertheless, I shut it down and would have circled back to the club to keep communication about a hookup offline, but for the limited club opening nights and a more secure established connection with a Theatron Pelicula gogo.
  24. No point closing the barn stable door for this unfortunate lot.
