  1. Not all of us are blessed with good looks or being in shape. We have to work hard for every encounter. Jon is probably the only escort still advertising and escorting from when I first started looking at escort ads around 1994 or 1995. I don't really care about age-as long as a guy is legal. It depends on their 'look'. If Jon's pictures depict him accurately, I probably would have been a steady client over the years if he had been a bottom or versatile.

  3. I apologize. When you asked the question, I didn't realize you might not have been a member back in the glory days of Alec and Ryan. Alec was a very popular escort several times-would stop and start. During his last incarnation, he had a boyfriend named Ryan. They broke up at one point, but both continued to escort separately. If you liked extremely muscular non-bodybuilders, they were two of the most popular escorts on the Message Center about 12 to 15 years ago. After they broke up, they did get back together. And I think they were together at the time they quit escorting. Sadly they have since broken up although I know Alec has found a new partner since then. I have a picture. Since Alec isn't escorting anymore, I've edited it down pretty severely. So I think it's ok to post. If not, the moderators can remove it. But if you like this, let me assure you the actual person was even more enticing But the topic of this thread isn't Alec, but his one time partner Ryan. Apparently a few people have heard he might be escorting again. It might just be a rumor started by posts like mine. But if he Is, I was interested in seeing his ad.
  4. No, that's why I was asking for info.
  5. I was just having a discussion with one of our illustrious members who thought he had seen a post that Ryan was now escorting again. Modesty forbids me from mentioning the nom de Message Center of the personage with whoM I was conversing. But is this true? It's all academic as I'm not in LA-assuming that's where he is. And I'm not hiring. But if true, I was curious. Thanking any info in advance.
  6. On one of the reels that piped up on YouTube, I remember him saying something about growing up in Texas but moving to LA with his mother. So I assumed his parents had separated.
  7. I think that's what I said. Luckily for me, I don't require haute cuisine. I'm fine with chains as well as Mom and Pop establishments or even Chef Boyardee (I mix their single serving can of spaghetti with their single serving of beef raviolis -and sometimes add Vienna Sausages for an extra kick). But you revealed what was redacted. Shouldn't @Rod Hagen be more furious with you than with me? And speaking of redaction-why was it?
  8. I've been to several old Old Spaghetti Factories or the very close to being an exact copy Spaghetti Warehouses over the years although the Warehouses in Dallas closed several years ago. I'm not saying they are the top Italian places in America. But really it's difficult to mess up spaghetti and meatballs. They're economical and give you a lot of food for the price. Then they should be. What were the blank lines @Rod Hagen. .

  10. Maybe The View Grand Dames just talked about the series-or maybe my Mom was mistaken. I'm still not watching it with her. I was just looking it up. The series premiered in the UK on January 10th. I wonder if there are plans for Connor and Hudson to appear on Graham Norton. I'll bet with his penchant on double entendres, he'd love them as guests.
  11. I was at my Mom's tonight. We always watch TV. We love the British Who-Done-Its often on Masterpiece. I told her about Heated Rivalry, and how it was being talked about all over the place. I described it as going farther than the 1st season of Outlander with a lot of butts. She said had seen 'butts' before. I said that was all you saw. But that there was 'more' not shown. She then told me she had heard of it because Connor and Hudson had been on The View. I said that some of the non-sex scenes had affected me emotionally-specifically when Shane came out to his parents. I did say that I don't she would like it because of the sex scenes. But that if she decided to watch, I couldn't watch it with her. Outlander, at least the first season-haven't gone beyond that yet, I wouldn't be able to watch that with her either. So that brings up a question. Are any of your parents or straight siblings, cousins, children , etc watching it? And if so, have y'all discussed it?
  12. Was it from an IV mishap perhaps? 🤔 My almost brother-in-law (in all ways but the marriage certificate) described it like going from sepia Kansas to the full color Land Of Oz.
  13. I'm 21 days past the second surgery. I've re-installed trapeze bar over the bed, so I can now go back to my accustomed sexual 'hi'-jinks. 😉😉 Ok you can quit laughing at the thought. Now for the real update. Last night I was driving home after dinner from a friend's house. He lives about 35 miles from me. The clarity I had seeing the highway exits at night were amazing. I hadn't been to his place in probably 6 months because I couldn't take the night driving on the freeway. I couldn't see either the exit signs or the exit lanes clearly enough. In fact nighttime driving in general was beginning to freak me out. Even after I had the first eye done, it was still difficult to drive. I still find it a real pain having to put on glasses to read. But it is what it is. I'll have to adjust. But it's definitely making reading less enjoyable. Aside from that I am so happy I finally had the surgery done. I had first planned it about a year and a half ago. But life got in the way. I couldn't 'see' my way clear at the time to having it done. It came down to the wire too because January 1st I started Medicare. I needed to get it done on my old policy, as I had filled the out of pocket maximum and the surgery wasn't going to cost me anything. Yesterday while driving, I was thinking what a miracle it was that 'we' have the technology to do this. An operation that probably took 15 minutes or less, but that has improved my life 1000%.
  14. Take a look at his IMDB page. He guest-starred in a lot of TV SHOWS. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001957/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk
  15. I'd say being sad and disappointed made him upset. On a personal level-if I'm upset, something like disappointment or sadness is probably what led to it.
  16. I really liked Antony Hamilton, but don't you mean 'successor' and not 'predecessor.' He came after Jon Erik Hexum. I don't remember him from 'Cover Up, but I do from 'Mission Impossible.' And of course most people didn't know he was gay. Anyone remember Hart Bochner from 'Apartment Zero?' He's not the handsomest guy on this list. But he's definitely up there. I think I watched the movie to mainly see him. As a child and beyond I was always fond of his father Lloyd too. He was in a lot of movies and TV shows when I was growing up.
  17. I just screenshotted this from the People App. It's Hudson Williams at the Golden Globes. I'm not saying he isn't handsome here. But I'm actually more attracted to him in his Shane Hollander guise (minus the picture with the submissive collar on). The earrings in the above photo just don't do it for me. But as I've said before, I don't like jewelry in general. Watches detract from a man's hotness for me too (a holdover from when I was young).
  18. For some reason this reminds me of the poster for The Boy In Blue I never saw the movie, but it's when I fell in lust with Nicolas Cage. And I've never forgotten the poster.
  19. I'm more enamored of Keanu now than I was back then.
  20. I first loved him as Philip Brent on All My Children!!
  21. Sigh -I haven't watched Episode 6 again. I will. But as I've said before, every time the scene where Shane and his mother are hugging comes up and Shane says, "I tried," meaning he tried to be straight -it brings up memories from 13 years ago for me. Even recalling it without it being in front of me, it chokes me up. How many times did I say that to myself-if only I could ... How many times did I not say anything because while on one hand I was sure my mother wouldn't reject me-but what if she did? And even when I did somewhat come out-I still had to get my sister to tell her, because I couldn't face up to it. Since then we don't talk about me being gay very often. She knows my one main (platonic) friend is gay and likes him quite a lot as do my brother and sister-in-law. And I've frequently told my Mom when I go on an occasional date. I'm not sure how things would go if I were ever lucky enough to have an actual 'boyfriend.' I think my Mom would be ok once getting used to the idea-or if not quite able to manage that -still would be gracious for my sake. I think my siblings would be ok. I'm not quite sure how a very conservative niece-in-law would take it which might bar me from family gatherings at my nephew's house and my brother's house (it's his daughter-in-law). But the chance of me getting a boyfriend will most likely occur at the same time pigs and donkeys start flying, so it looks like I'll be welcome at most family gatherings for years to come.
  22. I can't believe how obsessed I've become with this show. But it is fading a bit. I'm probably going to watch episode 6 again, and then hopefully put it by the wayside for awhile. But there had been things bothering me for Episodes 1 and 2. I had the impression that there were long intervals between their meetings. But I didn't see how even an fbud relationship could really sustain itself with so much time apart. But apparently it did. To help me I charted their meetings in Episodes 1 to 2. Here is my summary. I obviously have too much time on my hands. ****************************************** Heated Rivalry Episode 1 Meetings 12/2008 International Prospect Cup they are 17 and meet outside the rink. Russia wins the tournament. 6/2009 MHL Draft Ilya is # 1 and Shane is # 2. They both wake up early and meet in the hotel gym. 12/2009 --International Prospect Cup. Canada wins the tournament. Shane says, "See you in October". But the next title says @@@06/2010 which is long after October-Ilya and Shane are filming a commercial in Toronto. Ilya asked for Shane to be in the commercial with him. Later they are showering together. Shane has trouble looking away. Ilya deliberately strokes himself. Shane says "F-off". But in the locker room they decide to meet FIRST SEXUAL ENCOUNTER!!! Ilya goes to Shane's hotel room. 09/2010 Ilya is playing in Montreal. Shane gets the winning goal against Ilya. No sex @@@1/2011 All Star Game in Nashville. Shane breaks the shot accuracy competition that Ilya had just set. Shane goes to Ilya's hotel room. SECOND SEXUAL ENCOUNTER!! Ilya puts their names as Lily and Jane in each other's phone. 1/2011 or 2/2011 Plans for third sexual encounter in Montreal falls through due to snowstorm. # 5/2011 or 6/2011: MHL Awards Banquet. Shane wins rookie of the year. Sees Ilya on the roof. He's upset that Ilya didn't watch him win the trophy. But Shane also says that this is the one time he's gotten anything over Ilya. That Ilya is always beating him. That doesn't make a lot of sense from what they've shown. Ilya was the #1 draft pick. But after that Shane won the International Cup, after that he won the shot record, during the game following the shot competition he won the goal after that, and his team beat Boston. So I'm not sure what else Ilya did that actually surpassed Shane. Ilya's initially upset probably about going back to Russia. But he kisses Shane in public on the roof. Shane initially likes it. But then gets scared someone may see and takes off. So over 2-1/2 years they've had Clintonian Sex twice. But Shane has yet to bottom. End of Episode #1. Episode # 2 Summer 2011 Shane in Montreal and Ilya in Moscow texting Fall 2011 Their teams play a game. Possibly Montreal wins, but it doesn't say. **So Ilya texts Shane asking what there is for a lonely girl in Montreal to do. Shane doesn't answer back. Winter 2012 **Ilya texts Shane. Shane replies back, but they don't seem to have sex. Spring 2012 Boston is in playoffs. Montreal isn't. They text. No sex. Fall 2012 -18 months since they had sex. Ilya texts Shane an address, but he doesn't go. Winter 2013 -24 months no sex. Spring 2013 -2 and a 1/4 years no sex but they do text Fall 2013 - 2 and 3/4 years since they had sex. Ilya texts Shane asking how many times he can come in an hour-but it's right before they play a game against each other. They sext. Initially Shane says they aren't meeting. But then Shane says after the game he'll text Ilya if he's lucky Montreal wins, and Shane and Ilya meet at Shane's apartment. THIRD SEXUAL ENCOUNTER (finally!!) Shane bottoms for the first time. Winter 2014 Sochi Olympics -no sex. Russia loses badly to Latvia. Shane texts Ilya, but Ilya doesn't answer back. Canada wins the Gold at the Olympics but they don't show it. Shane sees Ilya at men's ice skating event. But Ilya is upset and barely talks to Shane. Ilya says they aren't anything to each other. Spring 2014 -Shane and team watch Boston win the cup. Shane seems to maybe give a slight smile at watching Ilya hoist the cup. Summer 2014- End of year major league hockey banquet. Shane and Ilya are presenting an award together. They both look really nice in their tuxedos. After the award Shane goes to the bathroom. Ilya comes in. Shane is upset and says Ilya hasn't responded to a text in 6 months. He doesn't know what Ilya wants. Shane is furious but heartbroken that Ilya has been ignoring him. But they make up and meet later that evening in Ilya's hotel room. SEXUAL ENCOUNTER #4 But the interaction is pretty much mechanical-no affection shown. Ilya seems unhappy -possibly about going home to Russia for the summer. Shane is upset afterwards that it was a purely physical encounter with no real emotional connection. The episode ends with Shane realizing -and not liking-his emotional attachment to Ilya. ********************************* So the things that seem funny to me 1. In Episode # 1 they have "Clintonian" sex twice in 2-1/2 years of knowing each other. 2. They were going to meet for sex a third time. But there was a blizzard in Montreal, and the game was canceled 3. Several months later at the annual hockey awards banquet Shane finds Ilya on the roof. He's upset that Ilya ditched seeing Shane win Rooky of the Year. He says basically that Ilya is always surpassing him. And the one time he (Shane) wins over Ilya, Ilya isn't even there to support him But here's something I don't understand. It doesn't seem to make a lot of sense from what they've shown. Ilya was the #1 draft pick. But after that Shane 1. Won the International Cup 2. After that during the playing season, he won the shot record 3. During the game following the shot competition, Shane won the goal. 3. And Shane's team beat Boston. So I'm not sure what exactly Ilya did other than Russia beating Canada in the first International Junior Prospect Tournament and being the # 1 draft pick that actually surpassed Shane. 4. Another thing that bothers me. In Episode #2 they text each other for around 2-3/4 years. But Shane consistently rejects meeting Ilya before he finally consents to having sex again. 5. And then after the Olympics -this time it's Ilya who doesn't want to meet for some reason. Ilya ignores Shane's texts for 6 months. When they finally do have sex, it's pretty much devoid of emotional content. And afterwards neither one looks particularly happy. Shane looks like he's beginning to realize how much he cares for Ilya. But that could also be inferred by how upset he was at Ilya's failure to respond to him for 6 months. I'm not entirely sure what's going thru Ilya's mind except he didn't have sex with his boyhood pal in Moscow. We don't know if that's due to his feelings for Shane or something else. I'd love to hear people's comments on the points I've made.
  23. I saw a reel of this interview last night. I just found the entire segment on YouTube and am about to watch it.
  24. They told me those pictures weren't going pubic-errr I mean public I'm blushing
