I woke up today with this on my phone. I know it must be one of my Message Center homies who spilled the beans. So whoever it was-fess up!!

Or my sister for that matter. It's such a strange concept to me when I think about the fact that i've only been having sex for 24 years. What prompted this? This reel just popped up on Instagram. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DUjMA97kW_e/?igsh=MWQ2NjNsZHMxbmU2Yg==

Thinking of the taste of beef stroganoff, it seems to me chicken would be a fine substitute. Also I love chicken cacciatore. I've made it a few times in an instant pot. I also like to order it at Italian restaurants if it's on the menu. But not every Italian place serves it.

He wouldn't deep kiss-or at least wouldn't deep kiss me when I saw him once. He said he didn't 'deep kiss.' This was probably around 18 years ago. For the record in case anyone wonders-my oral hygiene is good. And most escorts and non-escorts say I'm a good kisser. I'd never want to hire him again even if I were hiring. But I'll admit to being curious as to what he looks like now. It seems to me that even 20 years ago when he was using those pictures that they weren't up to the minute current even then. In his favor, however, I don't remember being particularly disappointed by his looks. On the other hand considering this is a probable 18+ year-old memory, I can't be sure. Possibly I wasn't impressed by his looks but the upsetting kissing is what has stuck in my memory after all this time.

I've often had it say offline. But then I send a message. And it transmits.

We obviously can't know what's going on in his head or his life. But it seems to me that NYC has enough escorts-that unless you just like trying to pursue things off the beaten track-I'd go for someone else.

The only disagreement I have with you is the term 'ripe'. I'd use 'mature.' And going by the pictures on that expired ad, he needs at least 10 to 15 years more maturing.

I used to think he was very attractive when I saw his ad on RM. Then I saw the Matt Cullen video on the GayVN Awards. I didn't even recognize him. Robert Pattinson has changed a lot too. I didn't even recognize him at first. He face has become much more narrow. This puts me in mind when Dylan Sprouse of the Suite Life Of Zack and Cody had a cock photo leaked by an ex-girlfriend. While it obviously wasn't comfortable for Dylan, his identical twin Cole tweeted "now they've basically seen me naked which is weird I guess."

You'd think someone would have informed RM by now-but maybe I'm wrong. But if someone has, and RM has kept the ad up-in spite of that-it's pretty heartless.

I once texted years ago when he was in LA, and he wasnt particularly polite. On the other hand i remember i had made some comment on his appearance. I don't think it was derogatory in any way. I think it had to do with his description of himself. I was probably out of line or at least he took it wrong. I'm sorry about his death. Addendum-I think I told him ginger lovers like me-loved fire pubes-and he shouldn't shave down there. I was most likely out of line. But I was letting him know what a lot of us liked.

That would be me. How dare guys be too handsome?!! There ought to be a law against it.

We had a uniform too. A white t-shirt with some kind of school system logo on it. Our names might have been written on them with a sharpie. And we had dark blue shorts that had the first letter of our name and our complete last name embroidered on them. But I don't think the underwear was mandated. I can def see that although not for my school. I came from a middle class area. We certainly weren't rich. There were lots of people whose parents had more money at my school and probably some who had less. There might have been specific students that they were concerned about. And while they were really strict about us showering in 7th grade (although I tried to get out of it as much as possible), they were much more lax during 8th and 9th grade.

I was just wondering -were you in athletics -or did all the males in gym have to wear jocks? And that brings up a question - from my non-athletic couch potato viewpoint-unless you're wearing a swimming suit without netting is there really any other reason to take off your normal underwear to put on a jockstrap? Other thoughts about the olden days at the Y or other places where all the males swam nude 1) If other adults or coaches in the pool were already nude, then it really wouldn't make much difference if the adults showered after the workout in a community shower situation. Everyone was already in the "altogether". 2). The explanation that males went nudo because the material of their swimming suits would clog the filters -well I don't totally discount it. But I presume that women's suits were made of similar material. And they weren't swimming nude. Did female only places just allocate more money to repair their filtering machines?

Unless you were changing into a jockstrap or a swimsuit, there'd be no real reason to totally strip. As for younger guys being more modest these days, we had a thread on that awhile back regarding the locker rooms at fitness clubs.

Happy Passover 2026 to one and all!!

Something to think about. Unfortunately talking (writing) about it might have jinxed the fbud relationship. I might be totally wrong. But he seems like he might be drawing back. If he does, it's upsetting. On the other hand it's been a nice several months. So at least I've had that. As I always say, better to have fbudded and lost than to never... well y'all know how the quote goes.

Thru A Hook-Up App!!! How do I know the guy was (?is) an escort? I hired him at least twice -possibly three or 4 times-around 20 years ago. One 'meeting' was either an overnight or a weekend. On one hand, I'm vaguely miffed that he doesn't remember. On the other hand, I realize it was around 20 years ago-not too mention that I'm sure he met a lot of people back then. Plus maybe my profile called out to him because something seemed vaguely familiar. (I remember being miffed at around age 16 when eating out one day with a bunch of high school acquaintances, and the dentist I had gone to since I was 6 years old walked into the restaurant. He said hello to one of my dining companions who was the daughter of a dentist. I went home that day, and told my Mother I couldn't believe he didn't say anything to me. My Mother explained to me that people look different out of the office. Is this not so, @purplekow? So with this in mind, I'll keep charitable thoughts for the (? former/present) escort. ) One thing that does make me feel better-apparently he's into us "full-figured" guys. At least he is now. And hopefully that was true 20 years ago. Back then I was obese -but not too far away from just being classified as 'overweight'. These days I'd be classified most likely as morbidly obese. He's aged too in the intervening years. But he still looks great-if more mature. I'd really like to see him. But I doubt I will. He lives about an hour too far away from me-esp as my car is a junker. Also I can't host at all-and he said he could only host sometimes. Even if another star arose in the East, and we did manage to meet. I doubt I'd tell him about our prior relationship-at least not at first. Still even if it was only a 'drive-by' remark on a profile that momentarily caught his eye, it was a definite shot in the arm for my self-esteem. And it did bring back pleasant memories. I had always wondered what had happened to him.

It probably was some degree of a vasovagal reaction-but most likely precipitated by the low blood pressure. When I went to bed Thursday night (actually Friday morning), my SBP agent taking it in the morning and evening seemed to be hovering around 151. Now my BP isn't that consistent anyway. But my usual BP meds are Telmisartan (an angiotensin receptor blocker) and a diuretic. Because of a hip that needs surgery, I've been taking Meloxicam -an NSAID which is not that great for kidneys in general, and it may antagonize the effects of the Telmisartan. The cardiologist has me taking hydralazine ( a vasodilator) as an additional medicine. Usually I only take 10 mg -3 times a day as needed. But I've noticed if I take it at bedtime-it usually doesn't do much for my blood pressure. So Thursday night at bedtime (really Friday early morning) I took 20 mg of hydrazine. I might also have taken 4 mg of Cardura for prostate problems but which also has a mild antihypertensive effect. I can't remember if I took it as I don't always I woke up about 5 hours later to get ready for my doctor appt. At that time my SBP was still 151. So I took my regular BP meds and 10 mg hydrazine. About an hour later at the doctor's office my SBP was 132. I received the Apretude and left. I made it to the lobby and sat down for a whirl because either due to all my medical problems or deconditioning, I get out of breath very easily. While I sat down, I started feeling worse. I felt clammy and lightheaded. I had a feeling my BP was going down. The security guard at my request brought me some water. I drank a small amount but still didn't feel great. I had an urge to (pardon the TMI) defecate. I stood up. I felt lightheaded. I made it to the security guard's desk. My legs started trembling, and I collapsed to the floor. The security guard called EMS, and the events played out as I discussed above. Was this response to getting Apretude? Please explain.

I was apprehensive about how painful it might be after reading about it online. But as usual the people with the most problems are the ones who show up more frequently on the online forums. . The injection wasn't bad. I take Repatha injection every two weeks for high cholesterol. You want to talk about a painful injection. So far so good after the Apretude injection. They say it takes 7 days to achieve protective tissue levels in 95% of subjects. You can continue Descovy or Truvada until then. To be totally honest I did have a complication. But I don't think it was due to Apretude. I collapsed about 30 minutes after taking it. I became lightheaded. I stood up. I became more lightheaded, and my legs started trembling. And I fell. But I think it was a blood pressure issue unrelated to the Apretude. My BP is not consistent. Sometimes my antihypertensives don't work. My cardiologist has me taking an additional medication at that time. So I did before I went to bed. But only had about 5 hours of sleep. My BP was still on the higher side when I awoke. I took my usual medicines, and the extra medicine. EMS was called when I collapsed. My systolic BP was 100. They took me into the ambulance. They asked questions. I started feeling better. My BP went up to 116. I decided to go to the hospital to get checked out. Eight or nine hours later, I stepped out of the hospital almost as good as new. But I think all this was the cumulative effect of the extra BP medication and not the Apretude. I will however be staying in my doctor's office for 30 minutes after the next injection to make sure.

Tadalafil 10 mg and Sildenafil 50 mg used to give me headaches. So I've started taking 5 mg. I may not get rock hard. But it usually seems to work. Plus if I'm pretty sure I'm having sex the next day (I have an fbud), I'll often take 5 mg of Tadalafil before I go to bed. And then another 5 mg the next day on my way to see him. Also while the tablets aren't designed for it-I'll often chew the tablet assuming it will get into my blood stream a bit quicker. It prob doesn't make that much of a difference. But in my mind it does. And what 90% of sex is mental, right?
