Five Suggestions. I have personal knowledge of all of them. And I think they would all be great. Oh and by the way, I agree with AJ Irons. I'd probably also agree with Dane, but I've never met him. I'm on my iPhone so, I can't give links- but all these guys have easily found reviews on Daddy's. 1. Arek from NYC- wonderful guy-he is quite handsome and his physique looks like Aquaman or the Green Arrow brought to life. He travels frequently- so contact him as soon as possible. 2. DavidSF- now living in Palm Springs- he travels a lot too. Very nice- wonderfully friendly- has gotten even better looking over the years. (Actually I hate that about him - ;-) ) 3. Tyger- from Portland- another frequent traveler - sees his escorting as a healing process 4. Raul Manzo- from Chicago- a nicer man you couldn't meet ( but really you could say this about any of my suggestions) 5. Andrew Justice-from Peoria or thereabouts nice and tall -the guy you want to take home to mother I hope these suggestions are helpful. Gman

And then there are those of us (ME! ME! ME!) who never wore tight t-shirts and never went cruising. But Charlie, I say if you still have the body for it, you should do it. Gman

I am not in the speedo crowd- never have been and most likely never will be unless something drastic happens and sometime in the next 10 years and I decide to either get a stomach stapling or go on some massive body reshaping- which truthfully ain't going to happen as I am now 53- and I 1st started telling myself I was going to get myself in shape at age 14 without ever being able to accomplish it. And even if I were in shape it's possible my underendowment would keep me from wearing a speedo. But my question is how comfortable are they. They don't really seem so. I tried some semi skimpy underwear recently for a once in a lifetime f-ckbuddy relationship which is now over. They weren't very comfortable. I prefer the way my granny panties feel. Now that that one time relationship is over, I'm about to throw those two pair of skimpies away. And while I often agree with Juan, in this case I feel too much self-confidence is a bad thing. There is no way I would inflict the sight of me in speedos on anyone. I wouldn't want to be responsible for them being struck blind- or for those who weren't blinded, drowning themselves because of an inability to eradicate the memory from their brains Gman

But when I was in London years ago, I recognized the ingenue of Andrew Lloyd Webber's 'Aspects of Love' out on the street. She was such a pretty fresh-faced red head. And I recognized Tom Landry one day outside a football stadium. Actually my brother probably pointed out Tom. But I agreed. Still I understand what you mean. But not living in NYC, LA, or Chicago I doubt it's very likely to happen unless I'm hiring or at a club featuring someone. Gman

I was just wondering if this was a common occurrence if you live in WEHO- running into 'porn stars'. I mean I doubt I would if I lived there #1. I don't watch a lot of it- so even if I did I wouldn't know who many of them are unless they escort #2. I've noticed non-bald guys appearance can change drastically with a hairstyle make-over- so again I probably wouldn't recognize them unless they looked very close to their escort pictures # 3. I doubt I'd be at the gym or out clubbing very much. You'd more likely find me at the local Barnes and Noble. I wonder if I'd see any porn stars there. Gman

This guy has been talked about for years. At least 99% of it has been negative. It seems to me that over the years, maybe one or two people here on the Forum have liked him. But for starters I'd say that his pictures are way over 5 years old. Gman

Please call me Gareth- or even Gar. I was giving general instructions. But I appreciate your info on Chrome. I will have to try it it out. Gman

It's not that hard to 'Copy' and paste a link. I'm going to assume you have a pc. If you have a Mac, someone else will have to advise you. So when you are on a web page, go to where the address for the page is in your browser. Take your mouse and click on the left button. Then drag the mouse cursor across the web address so that it's all lit up in blue. Put the cursor then on part of the blue web address and click on the right mouse key. The words Cut/Copy/Paste should appear. Click on Copy with your left mouse button. Come to the Forum. Start your post. Where you want the link to go on your post - click the right mouse button. The option Paste will appear. Click on Paste with your left mouse button. VOILA !!! You've 'Paste'-d a link. Gman

It's really easy. Just copy the link in your browser window and paste it here. There are fancier things you can do on this Forum like turn his name into a clickable link to his ad. But you don't have to go that far if you aren't interested in doing that. I think this is the escort in question. http://www.rentboy.com/Listing.aspx?lu=dcbeau Gman

Well-duhh. She should have known. I mean it's common knowledge that it's two countries. South Africa and North Africa. Gman

I thought I was bad at geography. But my lord while I'm still awful at it, I'm not as bad as her. Still I'm from a white middle/middle class background with a fairly stable family life, middle class good school (at the time although I've heard it's gone downhill since) when there was still some discipline in the classroom. And if by some chance I had really screwed up, whatever punishment was meted out by the school would have been a fraction of the trouble I would have been in at home. If Kellie was really dealing with a father in jail and a Mom who abandoned her, then possibly she had a lot more issues in dealing with life and surviving from day to day that might make school 'larning' more trivial in the general scheme of her life. And if she had that kind of family life, we have no idea what kind of nutrition, drugs, or alcohol her mother might have been on during the pregnancy which might have affected Kellie's development. When I was taking German in college, there was a, strangely enough, blonde headed girl--attractive. At one point she said she wanted to major in German. But she was horrible at it--just horrible. There was a class discussion one day. One of our instructors was from Switzerland. She mentioned William Tell. The blonde potential German major in my class said, and I quote, "Oh yeah, I think I've heard of him." I was so shocked by that, I've remembered it to this day. Now maybe I only knew it because we had a collection of children's books when I was growing up that had his story in it. But I don't know. I would have thought I would probably have picked up the story anyway sometime between kindergarten and college. On the other hand--Wikipedia says Kellie was on the beauty queen circuit/maybe a cheerleader. Maybe being pretty was handicap--no one made her learn. Gman

I've corresponded with him. As far as I can tell from correspondence only, he's on the up and up. Gman

I almost asked why even bring this guy up in the Deli, but I decided it wouldn't be a kind question. So I stopped myself. Gman

Without more information, a picture or even a link, I don't even have an inclination to search for him. But maybe it's just me. Gman

Current NY Times Article It seems very apropos considering this thread. Rise in Unprotected Sex by Gay Men Spurs H.I.V. Fears http://www.nytimes.com/2013/11/28/health/unprotected-sex-among-gay-men-on-the-rise-health-officials-say.html?hp&_r=0 Gman

If the studios only use the Antibody test, which is the only immediate test, then there can be up to a three to six month window where you are actually positive and can infect others, but the test will show you negative. If the studios use a nucleus acid test, the window is reportedly decreased to two weeks. I wonder what tests the studios use. Gman

The other problem of course is the super sizing of portions. Big Gulps and the like did not exist when I was a child. There were no quarter pounders- hamburgers were thin patties on smaller buns. I also am not sure if there were free drink refills. Along with the loss of the family sit down meal, less physical activity, we have increasing portion sizes snuck in on us by tr fast food industry. Soon where once 2 small McDonald's hamburgers were a normal meal, now it's two quarter pounders or two Big Macs that are normal. Our expectations of normality have changed. That's why I was for Mayor B's proposal in NYC. Of course I don't live there. I still would above been able to get my Big Gulp Gman

No what I would hope and expect if the escort is a stand up guy is that he would let the guy know ahead of time that he couldn't work with the client and would never charge him in the 1st place. Gman

I didn't mean to restart a firestorm. But while I agree that normal business shouldn't be allowed to discriminate. Whether escorting is legal or not- it's a whole other ball of wax. If escorting is carried through to it's ultimate conclusion- that involves impinging into someone's personal space in a way that not even massage does. It's one thing to say I won't massage you because you are White, Black, Asian, Chartreuse and an entirely different thing to say I am able to kiss and be intimate with everyone. Following that line of reasoning, the escorts should have to take female clients if a female wanted to meet with them. And you know there are legally permissible forms of discrimination in state and out of state college tuitions come to mind. So would it be nice if there were no prejudices in this arena, yes obviously. But having an escort who is uncomfortable performing probably the deepest intimacy there is with a certain type of client is vastly different from refusing to massage someone or refusing to supply flowers or cakes to a same sex wedding. And also just as obviously this should be conveyed to the client before the meeting ever occurs. Gman

It's not that I condone discrimination. I don't. But this job/profession/avocation of escorting hits so close to what the escort does on a personal basis. I just don't know. It seems to me that if there is a type you know you aren't attracted to on a personal basis, and you know that you wouldn't be able to get beyond those feelings in a paid basis either--then this might be one of those cases where discrimination is ok to practice. I mean I would hate to end up hiring an escort who totally hated my type--either physique or ethnicity. It probably would lead to a not very fulfilling session for me. And as clients we do discriminate with our wants to. I mean for most of us there are escorts we would never hire for reasons such as to include race, physiques, looks, habits/practices, etc etc, etc. Gman

And speaking of Alec Baldwin--would you taste his Schweddy Balls? I know I would!! [video=youtube;-QCCnEbCS4U] Gman

I really liked Beetlejuice!!! Sylvia Sidney was a hoot in it. And I really loved Alec's look in the movie- nerdy hunky. He looked more like the nerdy hunk next store that you could fantasize about. http://www.wearysloth.com/Gallery/ActorsB/860-1435.jpg Gman

I'd never heard of that movie ( I just found out it was a miniseries not a theatrical movie). But here's a clip for your viewing enjoyment. Alec is shirtless for most of it. ( He's a lucky guy- even in middle age he seems to have pretty much the same frontal hairline). I wonder if he is still that hairy- but maybe now polar bear white. [video=youtube_share;LuqyPapaxRs] All I can say about the younger Alec Baldwin is --- http://cdn.andertoons.com/cartoon-blog/2011/06/woof-book-dog-cartoons.png I was always really turned on ( secretly) by the younger Alec. I loved seeing him. Surely he and the studio heads knew about his gay appeal- what do y'all think? Gman

I hope you aren't saying that like it's a bad thing. Gman
