I really appreciate the thoughtfulness of your response. In addition to personal mentoring, are you involved in—or do you see yourself becoming involved in—collective organizing and advocacy efforts? I’m increasingly feeling that the mentoring and professional role modeling I do for younger queer folks is not enough. Also, I suspect that I might have more opportunities for mentoring if I were to become more active in collective organizing. I’m curious to hear your thoughts on this, if you’re willing to share. Thanks.

For those of us who identify as older members of LGBTQ+ communities, how are we imagining and enacting our roles as elders in our communities? Note: I am not assuming that everyone on this forum sees themselves as older individuals, identifies as members of LGBTQ+ communities, and wants to play a role in those communities as elders. For those who do, this thread is for you. I’m around 50 years old, and I’ve fought some battles over the years as a gay man. I have some insights on how to survive and thrive that might be helpful to share. I also have a lot to learn, especially from younger members of our communities who’ve come of age as queer folks under a significantly different milieu and, thus, have insights into current times that may elude me. The barriers to queer cross-generational connection and community-building are many, but the ongoing and forthcoming attacks on folks like us warrant efforts to overcome those barriers, pool our insights and resources together, and fight for our dignity and rights as LGBTQ+ people. I’m feeling a renewed urgency to do more to improve our lot as a queer community. For those of you who see and carry yourselves as elders in our communities, how do you do it? What types of organizations or networks do you participate in? What types of contributions do you make? What types of challenges do you find yourself negotiating?

I hope you’ll reconsider. While no TV show can represent everything, this reboot has afforded me new insights into where some younger queer and trans folks are coming from. With the ongoing and forthcoming attacks on our communities, we could use more cross-generational connections to sustain us for the fight.

I’m on episode 5 of the reboot, and it’s growing on me. It’s definitely a departure from the early 2000s reboot. This time around, the cast is a decidedly more diverse group of trans, queer, disabled, gender non-binary, and people of color-identified characters. Episode 4 explores queer crip sexuality in ways I’ve never seen before on TV. There’s a millennial and Gen Z sensibility to the show, and the storylines reflect the concerns, desires, and experiences of a more diverse queer and trans community. Bottom line: This is very different from the early 2000s reboot.

I saw him recently. PM for details.

In the thread linked below, @dutchal mentioned the following about MasonXL: ”Ad is almost two years old--must have been in another city to have escaped NYC notice for that long. Reviews indicate price for an hour is $200-$800. Reviews and dates match this guy so seems to be a name change: ” There’s a link in that thread to another thread on what appears to have been MasonXL’s former name, MasterLion

Jayce and AJ were much hotter in person than in the pictures that were sent prior to the event.

Just curious: Did former venues have more private spaces for lap dances, or has the party always had just one separate space where all the lap dances take place side-by-side?

Do you recall the name?

Anyone have experience with https://rent.men/hassanxx ?

Last night (May 28) was my 1st NYC Adonis nude party. For those who’ve been to others, was last night typical in terms of the number of attendees and the number and variety of dancers? Just curious if I need to adjust expectations each time, or if I can consistently expect what I saw and experienced last night. Any insights from more experienced attendees will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. 🙂

When was the email with the final line up sent out? This is my first time, and I haven’t received a final details email yet. 😞

I feel a little embarrassed by bumping this again, but those private pics on Rentmasseur make me salivate. Anyone have firsthand experience with him?

Anyone with firsthand insights on https://rent.men/MARCELO_Uncut that you’re willing to share, either on this thread or privately? Based on Rent men reviews, it looks like he’s reentering the market after a pandemic hiatus. Any firsthand insights folks might have will be greatly appreciated.

Super-odd experience. I texted him a few days ago to check his availability and heard no response. When I tried again today — and followed up with a message via his Rent men account, just in case he didn’t receive either of my two messages (sent days apart) — not only did he not respond, but it appears he also blocked me on Rent men. First time this has happened to me. My message was tame and straightforward, so I’m not sure what scared him off. Oh well, hopefully others have better luck than I did. 🤞

Same here: Great initial sessions a few years back, but underwhelming sessions more recently. Sigh.

What names used by escorts, masseurs, strippers, and porn stars do you get a kick out of? Below are a few that tickle me. Sky Myles (Adonis NYC dancer) Justin Case (Buffboyz NY dancer) Christian Power (porn actor)

Of the ones you’ve seen, which ones would you recommend the most?

Bumping to see if anyone has seen him since his recent reappearance on rent masseur

Anyone with actual experience with him?

https://app.rent.men/AlphaBigBoy#platinum His rent men ad has apparently been up for 2 years, but I can’t find any threads about him on the forum? Anyone have firsthand experience to share?

I love that line 😏
