If it really is an elevator issue, he should probably call Otis.

And apparently very easy going - even when he makes you feel every inch until you beg to stop.

Can I take it as a compliment when people call me a tool? Just asking.

There are a lot of posts about disappointing encounters, but not as many about providers specifically being abusive, from my recollection. I think it's a fair question to ask, though it seems the term 'abusive' means many things to many people.

Don't beat yourself up about it - my searches for that name keep resulting in flight specials to Brisbane.

I get what your saying, but I really don't see it that way. I think even the most public person deserves some degree of privacy, even if that's just the specific details of their death.

Speaking of tops, can someone please explain what an oral top is versus an oral bottom? Is the recipient of oral sex the bottom, like the recipient of anal penetration? Or is the one penetrating a cavity always the top? Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask!

I'm not familiar with this person or their work, but I'm thinking the reason why the post about his death specified it was an accident may have been for the benefit of the many people who likely knew him, and not for the general public. I imagine it would be very hard to reach out individually to each friend and acquaintance when a person may have hundreds or more personal contacts, so a public post indicating that it was not illness, suicide, or foul play, makes sense to me. For the thousands or more people who never met him but know of his work, they should just be satisfied with the info they've already been provided. It's natural to be curious (hence my name) but the specific details of his death really aren't anyone's business.

I've found it really difficult to relate to most of the characters. Now I'm thinking it's the setting - hopefully next season will be set at a Best Western. 🤣

It sounds like you were in exactly the right place and the right time to make a meaningful difference to this guy. Many people might have tried to take advantage of the situation, but you rose above carnal desire and showed him what true kindness means. I bet that will be much more memorable for both of you than any sexual encounter.

If your avatar is an actual photo of you, I can understand why

Who hasn't heard that pick-up line? LOL

It's a scary and sad situation all around.

So did this create a 'dead ball' situation, or was the ball just out of play?

Absolutely - he is murderous - but whether he is a 'lunatic' would depend on a psychological assessment. I think there are mental health issues at play, but I don't think they could excuse his behaviour or render him not criminally responsible for his actions.

Oh, it's not just you. The number of times I have been in a changing room over the years, and I never would have imagined what could be going on in the cubicle beside me!

I saw a show the other night about Mangione, and I wouldn't be surprised if there are some serious mental health issues at play. Killing the CEO has done nothing to help those who continue to be harmed by the insurance industry. Even in the short term, it won't improve anything for anyone. It's really too bad that Mangioni was not able to focus his efforts on effecting systemic change. With his intellect and his experiences with the health care system, I think he could have done a lot of good for a lot of people by fighting the system through non-violent means. But he chose a course of action that will not profit anyone except the lawyers who defend him. It's such a sad, sad, waste.

Unfortunately it had to be cancelled because some people proved unable to handle other people's differing viewpoints without getting nasty. The same for any discussion that ventures into faith/religion topics. I miss reading everyone's thoughts, but it devolved into something quite ugly at times. I would have rather seen people get banned after a specific number of warnings for nastiness, rather than having that part of the forum shut down. But I am not a moderator, to everyone's great relief, I'm sure. Including my own - lol.

It is unfortunate he doesn't use anything more recent. But like you say, it's his choice, and it must be working for him. I would be quite wary myself, however. Lots can change over that many years, though I still look the same as I did 15 years ago... lol.

Thanks for providing these names. I clicked on the link for YourHunk, and the photos seem to be the same that have been there for quite a few years. I've never met Nate, and I understand he's a decent guy, but would you say his photos still accurately represent him? Some are pretty blurred as well, and I've wondered why he hasn't updated the photos over time. Any thoughts?

But then I have to iron....

What makes a great top? For me it's usually a 100% cotton or a cotton-blend button-down, with long sleeves partly rolled up.

No. You are not. I am the one who's Curious.

For me there's too many to begin listing. I've found there's almost always something I can appreciate about another poster, even if we don't see eye to eye.

No, I thought you had meant to write 'reputable' and my bad sense of humour took over from there - I stand corrected
