It's not a gay practice for one thing. And the blurb on the clinic website says he's married with three daughters. I realize none of that definitely says he isn't gay. But to me it's suggestive enough that I'll consider him straight until it's proven to the contrary. The last time I lived in the Dallas area 8 years ago, I went to one of the more popular 'gay practices'. I'd like to go back to them. But their office is about 25 miles from where I'm living now. My neurologist is also about 25 miles away. I don't mind (as much) the neurologist being so far away because those are scheduled visits. But I'm more likely (mainly) going to be seeing my internist if I'm not feeling well. And if I'm not feeling well, I don't really want to drive 25 miles to get care. As for letting him know I'm gay, it's a big step. As I said in the last post, I've let some physicians know in the past. But I think the only ones I've seen on a routine basis that I've told were all gay. The others were just occasional Urgent Care docs. I realize this is a no-brained for most of you. But when you've been closeted most of your life, this is a big deal. As of right now, I'm not exactly closeted. But I'm not really out. My closest relatives know. A few people from high school and college know although I'm not really in contact with them very much at the moment. And just about any social contacts I have currently have been thru the hook-up apps, so they are all gay or bisexual. And there haven't been many of those. I've probably met 6 guys since moving back to Dallas a year ago. And only one of those have I met a second time. And with that guy, the first was at a restaurant bar. The second time was at his house a week later. I think he was expecting sex. But my myasthenia gravis was acting up at that point (basically I was ill most of January and February). I was extremely short of breath due to the myasthenia affecting my diaphragm. Even talking in short sentences was making me breathless. I almost went to the ER three times for respiratory distress. But I improved enough each time, so I didn't go. The last episode where I thought I might have to go to the ER occurred while I was at his house. I left his place much sooner than either of us expected. I haven't talked with him since. So while I'm not completely open, due to my social circumstances, I'm not hiding from a lot of people. Gman

I plan on asking him about PrEP. I've been on it several times in the past depending on my insurance. But I don't think I've ever really talked to a, I'm presuming, straight primary care physician who will be seeing me on a regular basis. I mean I've told Urgent Care Doctors occasionally. And my original primary care internist who 1st put me on PrEP was gay as well as the one after him. My last primary care person to put me on PrEP was a nurse practitioner who was a lesbian although I didn't know that initially. I found her by looking at a list of caregivers who prescribed PrEP in the Tacoma, Wa area. So this may be the 1st time I also admit to a non-gay physician that I'll be seeing routinely that I'm gay. I'm only 58, but I guess it had to happen sometime. Gman

KC was one of the escorts who got away from me. I remember there was a lot of talk about him. I might be misremembering but it seems to me I remember a lot of people weren't sure how honest an escort he was. I lived in Madison, Wi during 1997 to 2001. I think that may have been where I first came across Hooboy although I had been looking at escort sites for years. Does anyone remember the old Escorts4you.com? I think that was the name of the site. It predated Rentboy. I never thought I'd be able to/be brave enough to hire an escort. But I had looked at KC's website (I think it was on AOL) for years. I've always been attracted to handsome muscular guys. And I decided I wanted to try to meet him one time when I was on a weekend visit to Chicago. So I called-this was probably 1998 or 1999- he said he was shopping with his mother. He called me back later, but I missed his call. It would take another three years before I got up the courage again and actually met with my first escort. Gman

I don't realize that Ace didn't run it anymore. I guess that explains why it's so bad. I probably haven't looked at it in at least a year. Gman

There was a bodybuilder, surfer dude years ago who advertised on Rentboy in Florida. I can't remember if he had any reviews. But I had lusted over his pictures forever. He had basically checked every option about what he was into. I hired him for a weekend. We weren't even 1 hour away from the airport and from the way he talked I figured out he was straight. I finally asked him if he was more into guys or women. He said women. I really don't think he was even bi. He wasn't into kissing even though he had marked it down. I asked him why it was marked down. He said someone had told him he'd get more clients by marking all the options. The strange thing was all during the weekend he'd ask me if I was having a good time. I'd think to myself, "Well I'm having as much fun as I can considering I'm paying to spend time with a straight guy which is not what I'm into at all. " The other thing I found strange was that he would ask me if I wanted to try to top him. By that point I was disgusted with the whole thing. Plus I doubted he would have been able to relax enough. And I lose my stiffy against closed holes. So I didn't even attempt it. Gman

I think I can express my feelings about this ad best in a song. Or two Gman

One thing to consider-if you have surgery outside where you normally reside-surgeons really don't like taking care of other doctor's surgery patients except in emergencies. If you did go outside the country, check and see whether they might have an affiliation with someone stateside. Gman

Ad is gone as of now. Gman

I just read this thread. I don't have any suggestions. But I wanted @FreshFluff to know I'm sorry about her having to have surgery. And I wish her only the best!! Gman

Sorry, I couldn't resist. And in reference to the spunky ad... Gman

I always wanted to hire him. I spent a lot of time on his website when I was first looking around at possible 1st experiences. Unfortunately he's a strict top, so we never met. Gman

It says he's only been a member since January a year ago. I could have sworn he's been advertising for years. It seems to me I talked with him once. He didn't seem to be into kissing-or at least wouldn't promise it without 'chemistry'. And I notice it isn't listed on his list. Gman

Not by me they don't. Gman

Sigh, you realize your destroying my reputation as a tutor par excellence, but here you go. http://daddysreviews.com/search/Active/Devin/devin_corr_ps Gman

My rule of thumb was always to add 6 or 7 years to escorts of a certain age. He claims 34. So that pretty much fits into what I like to call Gman's Rule. Gman

Ricky's ad says bisexual. So does this mean in his case bisexual = straight? Gman

I'm going to guess it's a fake ad as this guy is from the Netherlands. Gman

I think the ad is down as of now. Gman

Is the guy in pictures 3/9 and 4/9 supposed to be the same guy as in the other pictures? Gman

He has a nice physique. He doesn't list it, but does he offer osculation? Gman

You can get them all over the place -Walmart, 7-11, Walgreens-Trac Phones are one brand. You buy a card to get the minutes. Gman

Does anyone else besides me dislike pictures of guys with earbuds in? Gman

That was so sad about Alexander. I saw him once when he lived in Seattle. I won't say it was my best experience ever. But it was a nice time. He was very client oriented. Gman

Still there for me. Gman

Welcome to the Message Center, @checkitout. One thing. You might want to ask in The Spa section as this guy's ad is on Rentmssseur, not Rentmen. Gman
