I echo the excitement for ”Pretend It’s a City.” As someone who lived in pre-Disney, pre-gentrified NYC, I loved the irreverent trips down memory lane combined with the at-times ambivalent, at-times punchy observations on what NYC has become.

I enjoyed the first season, but I felt like the second season wasn’t as organic as the first, and thus I stopped watching. The characters felt naturally funny in season one without trying to be so. But maybe I’ll give the show another shot, possibly starting with season three.

Do you have the link that you can share?

Where do you find more engaging guys during your travels? Any particular cities stand out?

It struck a particular chord with me since I’ve received massages from a couple of providers who go by “Marco.” And as many forum members probably know, a search for ”Marco” on this site yields lots and lots of threads. I imagine some of those “Marcos” have complicated backstories.

I agree with RLBENJI. Now that you know not to pay in advance, just be more careful in the future. Since you’re worried about backlash from this guy, posting his name will unnecessarily raise your anxiety.

Glad you enjoyed :-)!

Those of you who get massages might find this short film interesting. It explores the warm yet awkward dynamics that can emerge during an M4M massage. (Apologies if it has already been posted; there are tons of “Marco” threads on this site!) Click below to view.

This has been mentioned before on this forum but bears repeating: Those of us who can afford to do so should consider making donations to our favorite providers. Doing so might help them afford to temporarily halt their services.

He takes down his ad when he’s not traveling. When he’s back on the road, his ad with his contact info will reappear.

yeah, and it’s been up for a while now.

What YouTube videos are helping you cope with the lack of erotic touch (for those who are abstaining right now) and with the loss of PornHub favorites? Below are a few that I’ve been relying on. Some are more overtly erotic than others. I find myself drawn to sexier videos as well as to tamer videos that show physical touch.

Whoa! ?

great videos on his OF site, but I wish he’d take out those ridiculous contacts!

Same here re: limiting my options. Though for me it’s less about being picky and more about being cowardly. As someone who is generally risk-averse, I have a tough time taking chances on new encounters. Sigh.

Do you know what name the former thread was under?

I’ve never used Grindr. Are the guys looking for “generous” company on Grindr reliable? Not everyone on RM is reliable, but at least we have some recourse through reviews on RM and here. EDIT: I just saw nycman’s post above.

He used to advertise elsewhere, maybe Rentmasseur. I can’t remember what name he used. Hopefully someone else will remember, so we can look for older reviews under his former name.

So.....has anyone seen this provider?

Thanks!

https://rentmasseur.com/AAL nothing came up when I searched for him, so I’m hoping that someone on this forum has some details. Thanks.

Bump. He’s coming to NYC soon.

In addition to Dayuse, there‘s an app called Hotels By Day that allows users to reserve hotel rooms between 10am and 4pm.

My favorite provider avoids a certain city because he‘s had multiple no-shows during prior visits. He concluded that either a jealous competitor or a disgruntled former client was orchestrating the no-shows through multiple numbers.
