In my opinion 90 minutes is the right balance for escort experiences and first-time escort experiences especially. Gives time to get to know each other a bit. I often suggest grabbing a drink at a nearby bar (hotel bars are perfect for this if they are hosting) then moving up to the room for the rest of the time. Then in subsequent sessions you can decide if a 60 minute is enough time or go for even longer. It often works out well budget-wise too..a lot of escorts are willing to do $300-$400 for 90 minutes where I feel 2 hours plus is going to be $500 or more. So a little bit less time but still able to have a nice, non-rushed time often with a bit of massage or something thrown in or time to have a glass of wine or a cocktail if you're into that.

Congrats to you all for your financial successes. Makes me think that I should probably be saving more money so I could buy a place someday. But then I probably couldn't afford hanging out with so many sexy men. :p:p

Interesting...apparently the HIV drug Kaletra may be slightly effective in combating coronavirus. It should be noted that Kaletra is a very different drug than Truvada. Kaletra is a protease inhibitor, which means that it basically prevents HIV from replicating in the body by inhibiting an enzyme used in that process. Many viruses replicate in this way so it makes sense that maybe ones used for HIV could be effective for COVID as well. But Truvada works in a very different way that is more specific to HIV and other retroviruses, so it wouldn't be something they could use for COVID.

I'm not medical expert but I don't think your logic follows. HIV and COVID are not closely related. They belong to completely different virus orders. Basically as big of a difference between us and our fellow primates and an armadillo or a dolphin or any other mammal (probably even more so since viruses are so different than other organisms that many scientists aren't even sure if they should be classified as an organism). In addition, HIV belongs to a group of retroviruses that work by copying its RNA genome into the DNA of the host cells it is infecting, so that the host treats those cells as its own. This is in part why HIV is so hard to cure....the virus has literally become a part of the host's own cells. Truvada works by interrupting the ability of HIV to reverse transcribe its RNA into the DNA of the host cell when it is trying to infect it. Coronavirus doesn't infect cells in that way so Truvada would have no real effect on its ability to infect cells. RNA viruses are quite common and most of the major infectious viruses in humans are RNA virus: Influenza, HIV, the common cold, Ebola, Coronavirus, Rabies, etc. I can assure you that in the 3 years I've been on Truvada I have gotten the flu once and the common cold probably a dozen times. Since coronavirus actually is one of the viruses that can cause the common cold, I probably have even been infected by one since taking Truvada. It offers absolutely no protection from them.

I think part of it might be that I do try to be fairly nice and generous when I am on a date with these guys. So maybe they are expecting that I can do that all the time, when that isn't the case. Only one has been really persistent with these requests. The other two that I am thinking of pretty much have let it go once I tell them that I can't afford another date at the moment.

I wonder if there is some weird like alt-right thing going on. A bunch of alt-right 4chan assholes made a bunch of bogus fire safety complaints against a DIY venue in Fort Worth. Maybe there are some closeted Christian assholes that don't like the idea of two men having a great time together so are trying to mess around with the escorts.

Haha..I think there would be people staring at you regardless of whether you just laughed. But glad to make you smile.

Was that web site made on Geocities? I'm surprised there isn't a web counter.

Ah thanks..I am sure the same can be said of you.

I work in career counseling so I have a bit of experience in helping people look for jobs. One thing that is definitely true that wasn't 20 years ago is the importance of a good social media profile. I'd recommend creating a solid LikedIn profile (if you don't have one) with your employment history and the skills you offer to another employer. If you can, definitely start asking some supervisors for recommendations/references very early. They can actually do that on LinkedIn so you can be ready to go when you're applying for jobs. Often employers will recruit directly on LinkedIn using skill/experience searches. I've known several people that have gotten jobs this way so it's more important than many realize. Indeed.com could also be a good web site to use, but often it's best for more working-class jobs. And definitely reach out to your professional networks. Often they will know of jobs before they are even posted. Definitely a good way to get into a company through a friendly acquaintance.

Thanks for the words of encouragement everyone. I think part of what I get into is I enjoy the BFE with a lot of these guys. So I'd rather wait to save up money for a month and then take a guy out to dinner and have a longer session. The problem I think is that they expect I can do that often and I just need to set clear boundaries.

Thanks for the support and you're right. I do have a couple of regulars that understand I'm not wealthy. One of them even nicknamed me "teach" and gives me good rates when I take him out to dinner and a play because I think he truly enjoys hanging out with me. And yeah I think I am going to stay away from the findom guy. He was hot in a lot of ways but like wanted to be paid on Venmo in a way that I thought was a little weird. Just not a good vibe with him.

Haha...I think that may be part of it. One guy that I hosted the second time we met was really surprised by my small apartment. He was like, "I thought you were like this super-successful dude because you dress so well and took me out to such a nice dinner." I was like, "Yeah I can afford that because I live here."

I like it. Maybe even seasons. Chicago Winter/Spring 2020. It's amazing to me how often some of these escorts move around.

Hey all, I've been experiencing some patterns with escorts I've been hiring and thought I would seek advice from all of you. I work in education, which I love, but definitely do not have a very high income as a result. I'm basically at the middle of the middle class and even make extra income by driving Lyft on the side. I do live alone but in a small apartment and for me hiring is truly one of my only luxurious splurges. But recently a lot of escorts I've been hiring seem to be expecting me to be able to spend a lot more money on them than I am really able. Sometimes it comes up in wanting lots of repeat business, or wanting me to take them out to expensive dinners and shopping trips. One guy who I hired because I am wanting to get into more of a BDSM scene is trying to FinDom me, saying he gets off on me giving him cash and other gifts. In that last case, I told him I really couldn't afford to do that, but would love to meet him again for more of a regular BDSM session in the future. He instantly grew very cold and didn't reply after a simple "Thanks for a great night" text. I struggle because a lot of these guys are clearly making more money than I am, and they are really wanting me to spend lavishly on them. I am of course fine paying what is agreed but they are often wanting more than I can really afford a lot the time. It's a hard balance because in many cases I do enjoy their company and I don't want them to become cold because I can't give them what they are asking for. How do I set boundaries to make sure that I can continue this hobby in a more sustainable way? Or is it really just not bothering with the guys that are trying to push more than I can give? Surely if I made more money, I might indulge in that kind of thing, but I really don't. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I liked the photographs. I think part of it is the photographer is being respectful of the privacy of these young men. But the picture of the boy with all the cuts from self-harm on his arm...that's very moving to me and definitely shows the perilous position of these young men in German society.

Relatively new escort in Denver..only has had a RM profile for about a month. Don't know much about him, sorry.

Yeah I saw him. I liked him but totally get what @@adventurous old guy is saying. I think he thinks he's the best escort in Denver and charges and has a bit of an attitude as though he is. That said, he is very handsome and I had a great encounter with him. To me, not a BFE but certainly a fun time if you're looking for a splurge.

Interesting..well good for him. That's a pretty large sum of money. Definitely more than he would probably make escorting. You'd have to be meeting well over 60 clients a month to make that amount at about $300 per session.

I'd be curious to know how much one could make on a onlyfans page? Most only charge about $10 a month for a subscription and wonder if there really are lots of people that subscribe. Certainly one could make a lot more money in a shorter amount of time escorting but perhaps if they had more subscribers it would be worth it to focus on that.

Cain Marko looks really good and he took his pseudonym from the name of the X-men villain Juggernaut, which is wonderful.

When I sobered up the next morning, I asked and he told me. I actually was one of the few at the party with a car so I drove him back home to the hotel he was living. I just hadn't thought to ask when I was on the drugs. He said he was positive but didn't know if he was undetectable. At the time, I didn't really know as much about what that term meant so I was really freaking out, especially since he was a semi-homeless drug user. But he didn't infect me at least. Lesson learned though for sure.

Really like his web site. That's one of the best most professional ones I've seen.

Based on the trailer/description it looks like the Bill Murray section in the newspaper office is the "frame story" with three stories from the "French Dispatch:" "The Concrete Story" by Tilda Swinton's character apparently about a prison artist; "Revisions to a Manifesto" by Francis McDormand's character about young Marxist revolutionaries; "The Private Dining Room of the Commissioner" by Jefferey Wright's character about some kind of amazing chef who works for a police department somehow and also relates to some sort of kidnapping. I think the black and white portions may be the sections that are part of the "stories" and the color sections the main frame story, which perhaps connects all the stories together somehow. That's my interpretation anyway. Definitely a lot going on. But looks good in that Wes Anderson sort of way.

Parker Allen is going to be out of town when I'm visiting so wouldn't mind another one or two more options in Chicago. My recent trip to LA showed that I needed backups for the backups.
