    ‘The blond at 6:52 mark is Will Wikle. He became somewhat famous from his stint on the CBS show Big Brother. At the time he was on the thin twinkish side. Years later he bulked upto what you see in the video. He did a few porn scenes if you search. He is the 2nd gay houseguest from Big Brother to go into porn. Some of the straight ex-houseguests have solo webcam vids floating around.

    Game Changer on Netflix made me a 98% convert to veganism... I leave myself open to having a grass-fed, free range steak in the future, but I don't miss animal protein after almost 5 months on the vegan train. (Beyond Burgers/Meat... AMAZING!) Chicken, turkey, even pork, I think are rather bland meats anyway. The spices and preparation often make those meats delicious. Those same spices can make tempeh amazing... (try taco meat seasoning with veggie proteins).
     
    I wouldn't say I'm a vegan zealot, but I lost 15 pounds in weight and blood pressure has vastly improved after a rough year of only light exercise because of a spat of injuries. You don't need animal proteins as a major diet component; science proves that. Politically, I feel meat is bad for the environment and meat as a major portion of daily meals won't be sustainable long term - we can't use land to grow food to feed other food to feed us hence why we don't eat/domestic carnivores as a regular dietary staple which is growing food to feed food to feed to other food to feed us! Oil won't be the next war creator; it will be potable water and farmable land. Meat 'farms' are just repulsive and disgusting. More people would probably abandon meat if they saw where it actually comes from and the conditions those animals are subjected to.
     
    I HIGHLY encourage you to embrace veganism as a foundation of your diet, but feel free to leave your options open for some old school farming animal protien!

    Another great show on Netflix is 'Cooked' by Michael Pollan (author of another great book - The Botany of Desire). There is a woman in the first episode "Fire" who raises pigs in a more natural setting and more 'ethically' for meat. If I do eat meat every now and then, I will always try to buy meat produced from a farmer like her!

    Mmmm.... this seems highly suspect to me. Two examples a trend does not make. Inferring that health problems are simply caused by being vegan is a sweeping argument not based in reality and scientific fact. (How many cakes does she eat? How much sugar is in his diet? How much exercise did they get? Family history of diabetes? Genetic factors? Were they already obese when they 'became vegan'?) Any diet that is out of balance can be unhealthy!
     
    Don't get me wrong, being vegan isn't a magic bullet, but the overwhelming evidence supports vegans are healthier, have less sickness, cancer, and disease, and live longer. The food industry has marketed a relatively unhealthy diet for decades and they have made us become disconnected from our food. Vegans usually have to be more mindful of grocery shopping, how they prepare meals, what they eat, and do more of their own cooking.
     
    My suggestion - JUST TRY BEING MORE VEGAN FOR AT LEAST A MONTH! If you slip and have a burger, not the end of the world, but you won't know how you like it/what impact it can have on your health and life until you try it for at least 4 weeks (or more).

    Even before watching "Gamechangers" and "Endgame 2050" I already knew that the US Government, and the American Food, Health (Big Pharma), and Insurance Industries have ZERO interests in Americans eating/becoming healthier. It would actually be a very bad business for them.
     
    Also, these movies state that the environmental problem of the world is not overpopulation in Asia, but consumption habits in America.

    Do you have to be 100% vegan or not at all? Why couldn't you eat vegan say, 28 days of the month & then have meat 2 or 3 times a month? Or even once a month, if that would be enough to satisfy the craving? You'd have the benefits of feeling "great, lighter, lucid, etc." but then have one serving of meat before the weakness, hair loss & cravings kick in. I'm sure there are those who believe it has to be all one way or the other, but just like anything else in life, what works for one doesn't necessarily work for all.
    This is just one man's perspective.

    I have a regular weekend buddy who I see about one weekend per month. Not sure we will be able to continue this cadence in the new COVID world because he is in NYC and I have an apartment in Philly that I will be vacating in early September.
     
    My 'relationship' with him is more akin to Friends w/ Benefits - we enjoy watching movies/binge series together, playing video games, ordering great food in, getting stoned together, and just really good sexual chemistry. He's not very affectionate, we don't cuddle.... we've both had some rough patches in life for the last 4 years we have been seeing each other and we are good listeners for one another.
     
    I started seeing another guy who was more like a BFE....affection, cuddling, great sex.....who I started seeing more and more.... and suddenly it was.... buy me a new phone, buy me a new computer, buy me new clothes..... Long term BFE providers may expect something more akin to being 'kept situation' and sometimes as much as I do wish I could afford that, I can't. I had a serious crush on the guy and he just was fucking me and acting like my BF for the money.... and mentally, I just couldn't handle it. I would not entertain another 'weekender' at this point and will make any other provider 'all about the sex' and position it to them as such.
     
    Per everyone else's thoughts - I share in the belief, you need to mentally frame any 'on-going relationship' with a provider with some boundaries in your own head ideally so that you won't end up down or depressed. For me, I get a little sad because what I want is more 'good sex' and the companionship. If I can't find the companionship from a lover/partner, then I will get that from friends and keep my 'chemistry FwB guy' for the sexual needs. I don't want to give up what great sex I am having!
     
    I'm currently quarantining in the VERY rural south with family..... there are ZERO provider prospects here..... heading back to Philly in August and already have a 4 day/3 night weekend planned with the FwB guy!

    I would definitely recommend being open and upfront about any thing you have concerns about. For example, I am average shape with a gut. I always share with a potential provider that I am self-conscious that my body will turn them off. Some have chosen to pass, others have given me reassurance. I wouldn't want to show up expecting a certain experience and then be rejected or subjected to a 'pity fuck' where its obvious he just wants to get off/get me off and get the hell out. You will both be happier if you agree up front on a pleasing experience.
     
    Yes, agree with the sentiment that 'discrimination is not cool', but candidly, as 'customers' of service providers, we are discriminating against them all the time - top, bottom, cut, uncut, hairy, twink, bear, muscle, age, height, dick size, tattoos, etc, etc. The nature of service search choices (like RM) is discrimination. I don't want to say turnabout is 'fair play' but it is the nature of the service we are engaging in. Men can't easily fake it with a limp dick, especially if they are a top.
     
    We don't live in an ideal world and we all should try to navigate our way to happiness, so I would advise being direct about what you want and who you are. Then use reviews and this forum to call out bad behavior.
     
    Just my opinion of course.
