Mmm. Ken Ryker 🤩

Resurrecting this topic because I wanted to add my own word of caution based on recent experiences. I recently disclosed to a friend that I occasionally engaged in this hobby. Friend was mostly cool with it but shared this with another friend, who shared with another. 🙄 Long story short: these three friends have run the gamut from (1) “whatever” to (2) nonjudgmental “but what about trafficking and exploitation?” concerns to (3) outright hysteria based on all kinds of assumptions, misconceptions, and stigma associated with this. Lesson learned: because of our culture’s complicated and clouded views of sex and sexuality generally, I wish I had kept this all to myself.

Wow. What an interesting thread. In no particular order and at risk of showing my age, here’s what come to mind from way back: Hill Street Blues Sanford and Son Cagney and Lacey More contemporary or recent examples, though would be the theme for Good Omens or Wednesday.

Pretty sure that is an older pic of SeamusOreilly. He’s obviously got a more mature look now.

Last year for Christmas I received a gift of pajamas from Latuza that are made from bamboo. I had become a t-shirt and loose-fitting shorts kinda guy when it comes to sleepwear but I’ve been really happy with this brand. Light fabric, not clingy, does not bunch and is not too hot in the summertime.

I’m considering a career shift and was wondering if anyone ever worked with someone professionally through a similar transition, whether a “coach” or some kind of recruiter or headhunter or agency. Any experience you could share or words of wisdom would be appreciated.

That’s Tayte Hanson.

I once worked in a small office where one of my male colleagues was pretty overweight. I could always tell when he had been at the urinal. I eventually realized that his weight probably meant that he couldn’t really see what was going on down there, and aiming was out of the question. Since then, I’ve always assumed that puddles at the urinal were from our larger brethren and, when possible, I’d just choose a spot that was dry and do my business.

Austin Avery?

A smile (with just a little-too-long eye contact) will get me every time. 😀

I only recently filled out the “about me” portion of my RM profile. I was pleasantly surprised when one provider I was communicating with commented on how helpful that information was. As with all things YMMV but this guy checked me out after I contacted him and, yeah, that makes me more likely to book with him. With this hobby, communication is key, but there are few absolutes about how, when, and where. I figure if putting information on my profile helps, why not?

bump. Anyone?

Depends on your definition of a Morning Person. The older I get the more I’m becoming an “early to bed, early to rise” guy (asleep by 10pm, up by 6am), but definitely not fit to be around until 8am or 9am.

Bump.
