    Anyone ever read "Follow My Leader" by James B. Garfield? I think one of my older brothers got it from the Scholastic Book Club. It was in our bookcase since before I could read. It's written in a very typical mid-century, middle America, middle class perspective that was typical of pretty much every book, movie, and TV show of that era. Like most of the books in our little bookcase I must have read it a few dozen times. It was a very plainly-told, oversimplified story of a boy who is blinded in an accident and gets a guide dog.

    I'll have to disagree. I had an unofficial German minor in college. German is definitely not English. Google translate is usually pretty good. And you're correct that a lot of Germans know English. But there are degrees. You can't talk with everyone.

    I've missed your posts--and I know I'm not alone. I’ve thought about you and your family multiple times since your last post, but most recently it was on the day before Mother's Day. What put me in mind of you was that my 7 year old fraternal twin nephews had their 1st piano recital after about 8 months of lessons. It was a large recital. There were at least 20 students. The twins were adorable. They both had on collared long sleeve shirts and baggy off-white pants. Twin A had a tie on that extended way down past the waist of his pants. Twin B had a bow tie on. Twin A played his piece. Then Twin B came up, and they played a duet, "Zum Gali," an Israeli folk song. Then Twin A sat down, and Twin B played his piece.

    I bought a Casio from Walmart a few weeks ago. It set me back $15.88. But so far the expense has been worth it as it keeps excellent time.

    An overdue update. As of last week, all three are at home, We picked up Navy twin when he returned from sailing up the East Coast last week. He had an awesome time, and his favorite part was helming the sailboat in the middle of the night during a raging storm. Just what dad likes to hear.
     
    Older bother has a part time job and DePaul twin a full time one, so Navy twin is home alone a bit-- he says he doesn't mind but is happiest when we're all there. Me too. Of course, his gf is back in DC too so he's out a lot in the evening. Having taken a break, DePaul twin and his gf are back together for the summer, and older brother is pining away for his gf in Boston, and talks to her every day.
     
    Both twins have grown, so all three are the same height now. Older brother has grown more mature in demeanor, perhaps because life after college is approaching. The twins, once away from Annapolis, quickly resumed being goofballs. We have Navy twin for only a few more weeks, but for now the house feels like the old days.

    I was being sarcastic-not to you-towards him. While he may actually be bisexual , I'm sure there is also a good chance that he is straight and only buy-sexual.

    But, and this is my point exactly, while obviously there are going to be exceptions or extreme cases, the best escorts working now-and again I'll use for an example @Mikegaite since he is the one I know the best, but I could probably also mention Kristian (if he is still escorting)- and those escorts of blesséd memory which we on the Forum still reminisce about fondly such as Dirk from Man to Man or Alec Andrews (and notice I didn't mention Alec's partner Ryan. Ryan was a nice guy but from my experience with him probably only really performed well if Alec were present or if he felt some attraction for the client), could promise fairly effortless encounters for the majority of their clients. Could I do it if I had the looks, physique, and tallywacker to be an escort, but were otherwise the same? HECK NO!! But that's why not every handsome well-endowed guy can be an escort.
     
    And the only reason I am commenting is the same reason I had when Rex B used to praise certain escorts. The escorts he liked, he praised to high heaven. But the majority of them weren't full service, and many probably required the elusive "chemistry" to perform well. But if people hadn't read (what this is turning out to be) long, involved threads, or had prior knowledge derived from other threads they very possibly might have totally unrealistic expectations for their encounter leading to disappointment. And as you mentioned previously, @Gymowner this is an expensive hobby. While I have no direct knowledge, my impression is that Hooboy started the review site and the forum to make encounters less nebulous for the benefit of both clients and escorts.

    I think the first time I saw an uncircumcised tallywacker was in junior high around 7th or 8th grade. Most of the people in my neck of the woods were circed. But while I can't remember it now as it was 44 years ago, I can remember remembering, if you know what I mean. I'm sure there was one guy in my PE class who wasn't.
     
    But what your story for some reason put me in mind of -when I was 5 or 6 someone invited us to swim at a membership only pool. Some adult guy that knew the family we were with came over and started talking to the adults. Well the guy had a shaved head. I don't remember ever having seen someone totally bald at this point in my life. I remember circling around him as if I were the moon, and he were the sun searching for some hair on his head.

    The Egypt Game! I haven’t thought of that in years...I loved that book. Also The Headless Cupid (also by her) and those John Bellairs gothic horror novels with the Edward Gorey illustrations! (The Curse of the Blue Figurine; The Mummy, the Will and the Crypt; etc).

    When I was under 10 we lived in a southern town and my dad had to go to this one newsstand downtown to get his sunday New York Times. I never once missed that trip with him because that newstand kept Physique Pictorial laying out on the bottom shelf with comic books on the rack above it I could pretend to look at. It was wrapped in clear plastic. I also remember a year later when they got their first copy of International Nudist Review. High def color pics and a star on the plastic over the penis. I always tried to nudge the plastic and when I finally did I got one of the biggest shocks of my life: a "penis" that looked like a brown carrot. I had never seen an uncircumcised penis and it may have been my obvious shock that caused the newstand to move that magazine behind the counter. Or maybe they ran out of stars.
     
    Anyway, I know it was years before 12 because by then I was allowed out on my own weekends and I was hanging out in the basement men's room of the Army-Navy YMCA giving encouragement to 18 year-olds headed to Vietnam. My "Thanks for Serving". I got one to buy me a Physique Pictorial. I took swimming lessons there every year and they thought I was a slow-learner. They finally graduated me anyway when I started getting rock hard boners in class. I remember one of the teenage teachers looking at my boner and telling me to "take it downstairs". He knew about the basement too but I never saw him there. He may have been one of the thousands of penises coming through the glory holes at the base PX. I doubt he was one of the mouths in the center stall. Few guys got that thrill because each guy there stayed so long. Too long I thought. Growing up gay next to a huge military base is different. Fewer kids books, more penises. The sex life at least is great.
     
    At 18 I graduated cross-country to college and to the Embacadero Y in San Francisco.

    I remember reading Pippi in the South Seas, by Astrid Lindgren, when I was eight, laughing out loud, and having the epiphany that black marks on a white page had just made something amazing happen inside me.
     
    Charlotte's Web, by E. B. White had an ending so bittersweet, arousing such complicated emotions in my nine-year-old self, that I felt I had grown up a little bit for having read it.

    Here's the Cliff Notes version and then we will move forward.
    I had seen Ryan many times, we had a difference of opinion, maybe more on my part. He has always looked amazing and been cream of the crop.
    We have reunited and have several fantastic encounters and trips.
    He's a star plain and simple.
    Hope this helps.

    I'm sorry about you needing the iron. If you consider the number of people who receive it in intravenous nutrition, I'm thinking the incidence of allergic reactions is fairly low. Maybe some of the physicians on here could speak in reference to patients they've had if anyone has had a bad reaction.

    Seriously, post like this kind of get on my nerves. It’s the idea that the more expensive something is, the better it is. If you like Ryan, great! And for many, muscle worship is enough, and he is a perfect fit. But the idea that because some of use want certainty, we cannot handle the game? No, there’s a difference between playing a game, and not wanting to be played. That’s kind of why this board exist.
     
    Why bother asking about providers, when you can just roll the dice? And if you have a bad experience, but enough money, why hire them again. Maybe if you build trust, things will be better next time.

    In my humble opinion, I'd prefer not to waste my time doing that. I mean sure every situation is different. But in general I'd like to know what the escort is generally into from his ad. I hate ads with very little info and 'Ask Me-s' on the important info categories. I don't mind confirming information that is listed in the ad. In fact I highly recommend doing that in case the the guy is one of those escorts that blindly checked every option in the world to appeal to the widest client base without ever planning to fulfill the majority of what he had listed. But I am not into guys who base everything they are willing to do on the nebulous factor of chemistry. That's too much work for me.
     
    I'm reminded of a Forum Member, although I can't remember who it was now, who liked finding non-professionals off Backpage or Craig's List. He enjoyed the thrill of the chase. That never really appealed to me because when I was horny, I wanted someone then. I didn't want to have to cultivate someone over weeks.
     
    Don't get me wrong. I'm glad you guys like Ryan. And I understand his physicality is incredible. But you could never really say that he is a "top" tier escort (in my humble opinion) no matter what his talents are because most top tier escorts are usually a lot more forthright in their ads and seem to be able to generate chemistry (or fake it extremely convincingly) with the majority of their clients. So when I think of someone top tier, it would be someone like @Mikegaite or the recently retired Alec Andrews-guys who are/were known to be able give stellar experiences to almost every client.

    While I know this from prior reports, it would probably be helpful to the newer guys on the Forum if y'all would mention that as great as Ryan is, he is not (what is generally known as) a full service escort. You'd be doing a solid to both newcomers on the Forum and to Ryan himself because it will hopefully cut down on guys contacting him and looking for things he doesn't offer.
