He looks pretty body-builder-ish to me in these photos. So I guess you are saying he is even more muscular now. Was the tattoo fake? Gman

Gman

Mine is still there. But how could you remove it without knowing you did it?? Gman

I don't remember his nipples being that big 7 years ago. Gman

I was looking back at some old emails from 2013. Did he go by Tom Thanos back then? Thanks. Gman

He might have, but I can't remember for sure. Most likely because he's very hairy. He looks fine in the current pictures. But didn't he used be more lean with defined muscles? If people hadn't mentioned what his ad copy used to say, I don't think I would have ever recognized him as the same guy. Gman

Thanks, for doing that @Rodrigo Suarez. I don't think that icon is shown on the mobile site. I clicked on it. It may not be as much of a guarantee as we'd all like. Gman

I wonder if success has spoiled him?? Gman

Well I guess he's ok, if you like that type of guy!!?? [i'll bet if that European Member who has apparently dropped his membership here (as when I reviewed an old thread recently, Guest appeared under his Message Center Moniker) were still here, he would call him too muscled, old looking, and overweight.?] I don't see a verified icon. If you are talking about that red circle with RM on the right of the page, I thought (although I might be wrong) that was for Rentmen Messenger not verification. Gman

What makes me suspicious is that he lists himself only as 'Defined.' Maybe he's inordinately modest, but I've noticed lots of fake/scam ads where the description doesn't match the pictures. @jbbjbb, did you ask him to send a selfie? I'm not really a believer in the two or three finger selfie. I prefer one with the subject holding up the date. Gman

I'm so sorry to hear about your stroke. I hope you have been able to recover. I appreciate the heads up. I had read this. There is also a question of increased risk of heart attacks. I actually was on testosterone for around a year 11 years ago. If I remember correctly, my testosterone was at the lower end of normal. But my libido was definitely decreased. My urologist at the time said that even though my testosterone was technically normal it still might be too low for me. I moved about 7 months after that. My new urologist thought that was ridiculous. I was never sure if the injections were doing anything. So I took myself off them I had my testosterone checked earlier this week. It was in the 150's. I saw the urologist on Friday. He said he considered a normal level to be about 350. So I'm def low. We talked about replacement. He mentioned gel. I said I had heard it didn't work that well. He said it did for some people. He said what worked best were biodentical hormones with some kind of implanted pellet which worked for 6 months at a time. Unfortunately insurance won't pay for the pellets. He said the injections were the worst but easiest way. They are bad because you get a big elevation which then drops off I remember I often had to nerve myself up to give myself a shot. I was fine once the needle had broken the skin. It was more thinking about it than anything. I actually learned my injection technique by watching female to male transsexuals on YouTub describe how they injected their testosterone. Gman

Is that a mud mask on his face in his privates?? Gman

I'd prefer to know if he bottomed. Gman

I should probably know this, but I'm drawing a blank on RP. Gman

I wouldn't even mind if the $7 were only a rental fee. ? Gman

I've been off Facebook for the most part for the last two and a half years. I'd peek occasionally. But I came back full time for now-although I'll probably go silent before my birthday which is when I left FB two and a half years ago. That's not really important though. But it does flesh out this post a bit. Anyway I was looking at my Facebook feed the other day, and an ad from the Wish Company came up. For those who aren't familiar, I think Wish, as a rough approximation, is a Chinese equivalent of Amazon. They offer a lot of inexpensive items. I normally hate ads on Facebook. In this specific case I may need to broaden my likes, because SEE what you can buy for only $7 from Wish!! Their quality seems to be improving!!! ?? Gman

Gman

That must be a different link than in the original post. Gman

He went overboard on pruning his pictures, the ad is totally gone. Gman

I had a long answer-but I wasn't expressing myself well. But in addition to what I was going to say which I'm not now due to not being able to express it-it seems to me to be a question of boundaries. In most cases a patient probably doesn't need to know their therapist was in adult entertainment at one time. Take @purplekow's acquaintance, if the guy is a good surgeon-do I need to the knowledge he worked as a stripper? Now in certain situations maybe the patient might need to know-as in counseling someone else in adult entertainment. But even then, it still might be crossing boundaries. The patient might begin to look at you as more of a colleague rather than a therapist. So if you're a good therapist, then you're a good therapist. And having been in adult entertainment is part of your life experience that brought you to your current life. But that doesn't in my opinion mean you necessarily need to let the patient know. Gman

While it can depend on the preparation and whether it was contaminated beforehand, they say for a lot of stuff that the magic time is 2 hours. Food needs to be refrigerated or frozen definitely before two hours. For some items they say as soon as it's cooled enough to go in the refrigerator or freezer. Obviously you don't want to put something steaming in either place as it would raise their temperatures. Gman

That's the part that doesn't make sense. If you can eat it cold straight out of the fridge, and if it can be out of refrigeration for 2 hours, why if heating it doesn't take longer than 2 hours -which it won't-should it have to reach 165 degrees? Gman

I think so too. But apparently the danger zone starts at 40 Fahrenheit (4.44 C for most of the rest of the world). So from an article on Real Simple "The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) says the recommended refrigerator temperature is below 40°F; the ideal freezer temp is below 0°F." Gman
