  1. No, still plenty of free cabins that I believe are rarely tidied and cleaned, likely used for sleeping at times by escorts. One escort claimed 06:00 AM was a busy time after the clubs so I suspect some of them hang around. I believe the admission clock resets at 05:00 if the check-in previous day was prior to noon. €9.60 gets you a sheet and pillow and maybe a bit nicer than free. The room that is €15 is labelled B&D due to the bars and sling. I do not know if it is #1. I think the VIP room #8 was formerly a pro massage room. No evidence of a security guard as suggested had been added a year or so ago.

    OK you little lost lambs. I usually do not do reveals but since he is extremely well known and public, some clues: aka Kevin Ramos, 2013, Musclehunks Pics are mostly a few years dated. They are traceable thru the high-end photographer brands. He was recently on reality TV. I would say no guarantee the photos match the provider, but the true "Kevin" does not seem to worry about porn history affecting more mainstream opportunities. You never know.
  3. Basic private with sheet and pillow. Price €9.60 Large private downstairs with silly fake prison bars in the corner and sling likely teeming with strep and staph; has larger bed. Price €15.00 VIP street level beside the lobby fountain with very large bed taking most of space, toilet and sink, fridge, etc €18.00 (I wrote 15.00 earlier ... error). Worth it over the 15.00 option. I tried all 3 but prefer a longer session and the VIP. It really is comfortable and more mirror surround. All rates per hour. If you google and select images you can get partial pic of the 15.00 and 18.00
  4. Tattoo birthdate (1966) must be his mother's?
  5. Right about the 747 issues. My last trip, there were people not able to get on at Peel or the next one west due to passenger volume, even though an express run from Lionel-Groulx Metro station to the airport has now been added for travellers taking the Metro to that point. The trick, I have learned, is to get an early start and board closer to Berri-UQAM and take a seat at the very back where the standing sardine theme is less pronounced. Also guaranteed a spot on the rack. You can slide the side window open. Lucky for me, I reside close to René-Levesque and one of the stops further east not far from the route's starting point. I usually get to the terminal early and splurge on a relaxing Archibald meal with the cash saved. I cannot eat Economy grub ... revolting. Beaudry is scheduled to re-open this weekend, but with the work to continue until next March.
  6. I think everyone should get and accept that public aircraft are now playgrounds with off-leash privileges.
  7. [delete] Luddite here. I do not use a PC, only iPad. I cannot copy and paste a photo into here from my Photo album. I also cannot find the URL for any album photo. Tips?
  8. City-wide road infrastructure, construction, and repair involves about 5,000 kilometres, expected to continue another 8 years. This will not necessarily be evident for that length of time coming in from Dorval or in all sections of the downtown core. But it is long and painful, especially for cross-city commuters. I am back to the 747 Express bus rather than Über. $10 CDN, reliable, and often only 30 minutes. But I also live very close to one of the route stops that is easier to walk to-and-from ... a car takes much longer to traverse those same city blocks due to construction.
  9. In general, people will often debrief with a trusted friend prior to going to a Clinic. If you have a confidante, they may help assess the decision to pursue screening. Many folks attend PEP screening with someone they know. A lot of guys paying for sex do not have a reliable non-judgemental "tribe" member. The forum may not be the optimal debriefing place, but in the absence of ... the above ... In addition, many guys hiring commercial sex providers are mortified about disclosing this practice, notwithstanding that a clinic is likely accustomed to serving this population. I still wince when transparently verifying this theme at PrEP follow-ups. The OP was cryptic, but readily invited private input as surrogacy for a real-world confidante. OK in my books. Some people have a lower threshold of anxiety and may experience an isolated transmission phobia following behaviour that others view as negligible or zero risk. Someone may have AIDS phobia, have some insight into their "panic" state, and be self-conscious about pursuing transmission assessment or psychological help. I am not saying this is the case, but there must be some reason for the vagueness. Let's face it, fear of transmission is a motivator for protection. Fear can thus be productive but also take on an extreme shape. I think that what kept this thread ticking along was curiosity about what really occurred. My sense is that the OP got some advice behind the scenes that was useful if not technically formal.
  10. I think I have the answer. I checked Fugues magazine April edition online and saw a typed event listing for May 18th ... "Party District", an opening summer sorta circuit party on the strip with international DJs and 'beaux danseurs sexy'. I could find no banner ad on it, though. I believe it was formerly "Hot & Dry" on the Saturday of our Victoria Day weekend. I do not think it was strictly affiliated with Sky but likely similar to the Gay Pride parties in August, with loosening of venue boundaries in the interests of Village fest.
  11. I just telephoned a staff member at Sky Complex. He has no knowledge of the sign you refer to. As I said, I saw no such sign myself. Their facebook page does not display any such feature for recent and upcoming nights. They neither had, have, nor will have dancers/strippers.
  12. I do believe it is called 'screwnicorning'.
  13. Hamptonn really bulking up ... NYC. Davisphysique was in DC following Boston. Perhaps he is now a Colombian attaché'd to some politician's tongue. He looked his best IMHO 6-7 years ago. Perhaps they have a Latin American competition coming up. Hamptonn is still short his pro card.
  14. Having spent a great deal of time in Brazil, you cannot judge overall level of national attractiveness based on a slice of the population selling their attractiveness. My straight friends base their desire to visit Brazil on Victoria's Secret December TV show.
  15. I went by Sky on Thursday night and saw no "danseurs" sign. Some of the venue's components are weekends only but I was busy. I went to Stock but forgot to ask if there was new competition (ie Sky) I may be proven incorrect, but I do not think Sky has strippers with private dance options. They upgraded one component to a bistro at street level, but I think the other components have not been altered to add a dancer stage, etc.
  16. ... after it has become engeorgi'd from sucking on it.
  17. There is a little bit more info on earlier threads here. Search "Georgi". Besides, his surname Kiryakov is on his shirt and you can find him on IG, etc.
  18. I never planned it, but had a huge crush, in my 50s, on an escort who also was a novice personal trainer who was also getting some expert mentoring on program design. We agreed on a short trial of training, ended up mixing the two roles for 30 months. I had obviously been working out poorly for decades because I peaked at a low-body-fat but rather skinny size, and low but healthy weight for my height. For years I had dreamed of getting just that extra 10% that would still bring me to a weight (still) more slender than a swimmer build. Slowly, steadily, with an approach more geared to high resistance less reps, changing the routine every 4-6 weeks, I got to 17% greater weight than baseline. About one pound max per month on average. Not big by any stretch but appropriate for my frame. Half of workouts with him, half on my own, never more than two at a time on my own. For me, bending to his rigourous programs was exciting and the additional treats were incentivizing. I agree in principle that it was training heresy but it worked for me.
  19. ---- I went to Thermas about 8 times this month over a few weeks visit. Tried to hit every night of the week. There was no real difference among the nights. It was generally awful for selection or for doing a few guys consecutively. There was 1 max 2 guys each time worth hiring. Otherwise, the dozen or so escorts were surprisingly unattractive and out of shape compared to my previous visits 2012-2016, and compared to Rio, Salvador Bahia, São Paulo, etc. If it had not been for the few guys who appealed to me ... a stroke of luck that there was one each time (otherwise I'd have been flushing cash down the drain for the entrance) ... it would have been a total bust. The VIP room (€15) was decent. Junior (mentioned), a newbie friend of his from Rio Grande do Sul state, and an in-demand stud from Paraguay were highlights and made the trip worth it.
  20. Yes, I realized that after having boned up on some of the reading this week. You have a good eye. I might have walked off with misinformation or misinterpretation. In any case, I now stick to Tylenol. I am going to go over it again with a walk-in to the PrEP clinic pharmacist soon because my PrEP follow-up with the nurse is a few months away.
  21. Part 3 Consumer Information - see the paragraph on "do not take with ... NSAIDS". Gilead Sciences Product Monograph for Truvada, July 5 2018 Me: Ibuprofen may perhaps be a NSAIDS with lower nephrotoxicity than some others but it can be easily switched out for Tylenol or Aspirin? Some people pop such pills like candy, and my health care providers may be framing taking Advil (or Methocarbamol with Ibuprofen for muscle relaxation) as a prohibition rather than a caution?
  22. Hi, TruthBTold, I still think that what you described in more detail remains inconsistent with the guidelines for on-demand as I understand them. I say this in the spirit of longstanding townhall-type sharing traditions for gay men since the onset of HIV, traditions that have made their way into current fora such as this one, and are like an unstoppable train. The explicit proviso being such contributions do not stand in for properly sourced medical advice. Not to be controversial or out-of-turn authoritative, or erode your confidence in your health provider. The product monograph or pharmacist's instruction sheet is another means of ascertaining the correct regimen based on whether it is continuous daily PrEP or a current on-demand option endorsed in your particular country.
  23. I understand what you are trying to say, josh282282. My impression reading the OP was that has his physician was describing the now widely accepted on-demand PrEP regimen. That was my assumption because the OP had described enough features of that regimen that lined up with the instructions accompaning the Tenofovir-Emtricitabine bottles dispensed to me and thousands of others in several parts of the world. The OP's description fell short of the details of this IPERGAY research-supported regimen. However, he did not suggest that he was going to take PrEP willy-nilly without following the instructions for the version of PrEP he would ultimately select. I will risk a paradoxical bind at this juncture. You suggest that I did not elaborate on my on-demand PrEP preference, yet if I now describe that regimen you may be inclined to assert that I am trying to endorse it without the solid research underpinnings you seem to dismiss or be unaware of. But here goes: 2 pills 2 to 24 hours prior to first sexual activity, followed by 1 pill taken daily until 48 hours following the last sexual activity. My most recent course equalled 14 doses for 10 days of expected activity. Such cycles of usually similar length occur, in my case, a few times within the year. You rightly weighed in out of concern that the OP and others would not take PrEP properly. You described a consumption standard, 7-days preparatory PrEP, that remains consistent with the elective option of continuous PrEP uptake .... 7 days of consumption prior to having or resuming intercourse at a level of frequency supporting continuous (as opposed to on-demand) is not an imposition because it is likely going to be a one-time basis, or a less frequent but longer wait-period requirement in the context of sustained cycles of high-risk sex. On the subject of motive, you are imputing to me irresponsible or reckless intent. Unfortunately, this is just an example of WYSIATI bias ... what you see is all there is. Embellishing your point by needlessly conflating my rendering of the description of my physician's instructions with the proffering of amateurish clinical advice. I had already clarified that I was not giving a personal opinion but that I was following the guidelines that emerged from on-demand PrEP research. I am not the only forum member, by the way, that applies the principle of 'caveat emptor' to all consumerism including health care. A physician incapable of drawing on more sophisticated processing in order to temper cognitive bias and short-sighted impressions of me would not pass my 'acid test' for patient-centred care.
  24. The International Antiviral Society -USA panel is accepting of the on-demand 2 pill 24 hours prior to RAI uptake standard based on the Ipergay study. I believe the reference is in JAMA and easily accessed. For intermittent semi-spontaneous anal intercourse, 7-day blood plasma loading is unrealistic for many fellows at a practical level. Postponing a rare fuck opp don't work that way. We tend to want it and to want it stat. And as mentioned, PrEP is not intended to replace condom use. I do consult my ID specialist and switched a year ago from the 7-day single dose to 24-hour pre-coital double dose, even though I always know 7 days or more ahead of time when sex is going to occur, and even though cost is a non-issue for me. Granted, I neither expect readers to follow my decision nor the advice of a physician not in their care cascade. If IAS-USA and CDC want to duke it out on behalf of American MSM, fine with me. I am neither American nor USA-centric. CDC guidelines, while reputable and respect-worthy, are not global guidelines.
