My shortest session is two hours. It’s never been any different. Not in 25 years. An additional note is that I typically text a lot with my clients before I meet them. I rarely if ever talk to them on the phone because it’s really hard to schedule phone calls. Lots of times I am with Clients or other people and I’m not able to take phone calls. Especially given I talk to people who are in every time zone globally~ I can multitask if I’m texting, but, phone calls take you away from everything but that one call event~ Despite guys saying that they just want to chat for a minute or two, it typically turns into something longer than an hour, and sometimes four or five hours. Multiply that by any number greater than one and you see the dilemma~ So, I just don’t do phone calls. Given that I’ve never done one hour sessions, I can’t imagine how anybody can meet somebody and then wrap everything up in an hour and just head out the door. I don’t know how much you really get to know each other in terms of content~ I understand that you experience something on a context level but, maybe not much on the content level. Prior communication counts for some of that but, isn’t the same as in person one on one interaction~ So, whether you can actually be in each other’s company longer than the hour after an hour session isn’t really substantiated by such a short period of time within that limited context. My experience with my own provision has been that allowing for that personal exchange in those first two or three hours, (along with our general activities), gives us a better chance to know each other in numerous levels and things typically end up where we establish a relationship of sorts and understanding of each other that wouldn’t otherwise be potential in a single hour~ There are a number of people who have started out by hiring me for my six hour session and we’ve had no problems utilizing the time~ Usually it runs over but, that is of no concern to me really. I don’t charge anything extra for that and I really just enjoy the time that we have to create a quality experience. It also doesn’t really matter to me regarding some extra time on these longer appointments because I don’t see multiple clients per day. My day is dedicated to my Client that day~ I find it unfair to both myself and the Client to have multiple appointments per day. I would hate to be the Client hiring somebody who is holding back because they have another Client right afterwards or who’s too tired to perform because they’ve had one, two or three Clients before me~ I also don’t like the idea of holding out on a Client because of the other case scenarios just mentioned. The hire tier after my 6 hr session is for a 14 hour overnight and then after that it’s a 24 hour appointment. So, I’m pretty sloppy about time and it’s not exactly 6 hours… It’s more like 6+ whatever~ Generally, if somebody makes an inquiry to me about an overnight or a 24 hour appointment or a weekend appointment and I’ve never seen them before. I will suggest that we start out with a shorter session~ We can always schedule something longer in the future or if they want to stay longer they can~ That’s relaxing… no “time” worries~ There’s enough to worry about in daily life outside of a session~ Our appointment is meant to be a comfortable and relaxing safe haven away from the regular turbidity of life~ I don’t usually do free time with clients because, at some some point it becomes awkward and unfair to both of us. The lines and expectations start to become blurry. I’ve noticed this in my own experiences, but also watching others.

I can see why people would be reluctant to share their rates. I get inquiries from clients where the first thing they ask me is what my rates are. I honestly may not respond to them~ I look to see if they are a premium Client, I look to see how long they have been RM member and I may start other conversation to get some idea of who they are and what they are all about~ I get a number of inquiries regarding rates from people that start out communications like they’re a Client looking to hire me but, it turns out they’re actually escorts trying to see what I’m charging~ This typically happens when I’m touring and is more prone to happen in certain cities than others and so, I’ve come to expect that type of inquiry by percentage~ sometimes other providers might get a little nervous that they’re going to lose business if other providers are in town, and they will try to underbid them but, it’s not healthy for the industry because, it forces good providers out of work and lowers the standard of provision. It also means that other more desperate providers can do the same thing and underbid the under bidders thus driving the market down more. it’s equally dangerous for clients to play into driving the market down like that because, providers can become overworked, under provided for and then they either have to raise their rates significantly to get by or simply lower the quality of their provision~ When the market becomes flooded by these guys who are under bidding themselves, (and it pulls business away from the higher quality providers), those higher quality guys increase their rates because they feel that they’re worth it~ Suddenly they become a more precious item~ You end up with a bunch of guys who have either really inflated rates or are desperately under charging themselves and offering low quality service because they’re over worked and under provided for.

I have had ongoing regular clients over the past 25 years… There were a few that were hiring me every other week, but, more typical, would be just about once a month. If this was also a person that I travel with, I could be with them for anywhere from two weeks on up to two months length of time maximum. Then usually I would not see them for two or three months because I was touring elsewhere to see my regular touring engagements~ Prior to the pandemic I would travel a solid two to three months for work in between traveling with Clients~ I had home bases globally and rarely was at my own private home more than three or four days~ Between 2013 and 2014 I was using saved money to stay home with my wolf companion Nanook until he died Nov 3rd 2014~ After that o was only gone two or three days every third or fourth month~ the east of the time I was touring and seeing my regulars along the way on the regular~ Now I’m traveling for periods of one to two months in length and my private home is occupied by either family or mates~ So, I’m seeing my regular guys less regularly until I dump my property~ Eve still, I try to see my regulars once a month or once every two months~ Some things that have gotten in the way are atmospheric rivers, cyclones, weather bombs, various hurricanes, Covid, RSV, monkeypox, some new bizarre pneumonia that’s been going around, peoples general post pandemic stress syndrome stuff and inflation~

I think you can only edit and delete within 24 hours and after that, it’s kind of a done deal but, I could be wrong there. I know that there is a limited time that you’re allowed to edit a post.

I just like the idea of being absorbed by the tree and it can grow~ Not really concerned about people visiting me. I’ll just be happy with some cool birds and a couple squirrels~ I have a spot at the San Francisco Columberium, where I’m going to time capsule a few things but, as far as my body goes, I’d love to have a going into something that’s growing and still alive. I fancy the idea of continuing on as a tree while fertilize it with my bod~ I was thinking, maybe an olive tree in Italy, or the same in Thessaloniki, Greece, where the United Nations planted a commemorative tree in my mom’s name~

For my disco Loving Clients

I’m having this done when I die~ The full bod capsule with my moms’ ashes, Nanook to wolf’s bones and Raison the Greek Kitty’s ashes inside as well~ Such an awesome idea~!!! Years ago I made all of my arrangements and paid do them upfront~ Now I’m modifying things a bit to this~ The bod pod~

Ah yes… the Pink Panther and kato~ So much fun: Inspector Clouseau~ Peter Sellers was a master of British comedy~ Brilliant in his characters. Mike Myers is the Canadian comedian genius~ He was born in the Scarborough district of Toronto in 1963~ His mother was a data processor named Alice (aka "Bunny" E… née Hind)~ His father was an insurance agent named Eric Myers. Both parents were English immigrants from the Old Swan area of Liverpool~ So, he does have that “across the pond” foundation and perhaps that was what you were feeling there~ Michael Myers is the Halloween creepster movie character, (a fictional Guy).

Well, I guess there’s some comfort in knowing that this person is not a clock watcher. I tend to linger on as well. I’m not very responsible/concerned about time when it is with regard to me~ I don’t take multiple Clients per day anyways~ (Don’t feel it’s fair to Clients or myself). I may actually become annoyed when someone starts looking at their clock the second you walk in the door and start timing what’s going on, (play time and showers etc)~ it’s awkward when suddenly they are wrapping things up because they feel like the clock is ticking. It’s not relaxing at all. I’m generally conscious and responsible about their time and I know that some people want to be respectful of my time and so, they’re trying not to linger on themselves due to that. I don’t expect people to pay me extra for staying longer when it’s perfectly my choice to linger on. Sometimes people do take advantage of your time and they premeditate you’re staying longer and longer and longer when you haven’t planned on or can’t stay longer, but they also have no intention of paying beyond for the initial session that was originally scheduled. That is to be frowned upon~ Those are boundary issues and typically people that push that particular boundary issue also test other boundaries along the way. So, it’s easy to sort them out. I like the bond and enjoy when we can share something on a human level. To me that’s adding content to the context~ I can usually tell when somebody is “over it”and wants to move on with their day or evening… You hug, and then there’s a quiet moment and then they hug again slightly longer, kiss & pat you on the shoulder/back the way a mother does or they give a sigh or they ask you what the rest of your day is looking like… You know… simple social markers of letting you know that it’s time to go home. It’s all good… I don’t know how other people are but, I’m really fine with somebody saying that it’s time for me to go home. That’s honest. You have to respect that people might just want to relax by themselves afterwards or have matters to tend to or just want some personal time… maybe they have to go other places or have another boy coming. It’s not a big deal. There’s no need to make excuses or create some fantastic story about why the evening is over… You just say it’s been really fun and now you would like a little bit of time to yourself. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with that and it’s honest~ If the two of you have had fun, you can always add a little confident reassurance by saying, “I’d love to see you again sometime… Stay in touch~?”~ There’s also a lot of guys who like that extra time to build a connection and that’s really fun and rewarding too. There are some guys I’ve known for over 20 years… We’ve buddied up through significant parts of each others lives. It’s not like the clock strikes 12 and suddenly you jump in to your tennis shoes and dart out the door. You know, time gets a little sloppy, but honestly who gives a fuck~ One can get all freaky about time or together you can enjoy being on that incredibly deep level that adds something to your lives. It doesn’t have to go on all night or become some thing completely engolfing of the two of you but, It’s fun on a human level and sometimes I think it’s just necessary for us as human beings and connect beyond a prescribed hired date situation~ After all, we are people first and we are more than just an hour appointment~ Play time is Groovy baby but, we are three dimensional beings and have need beyond that~ (hot dog~!!! I get to use another Austin Powers gif here~! Fuck ya~!!! ).

Ya… lyft does that too~ you request a ride and then somebody picks it up and then you can see them coming to get you and suddenly they drop your ass and the app start searching for a new driver… That could happen five or six times before somebody actually makes it to the spot you’re standing at waiting for the ride. One time I waited for almost a half an hour, because these drivers kept dropping my request for a ride. Luckily, I didn’t really have to be anywhere other than to check into my accommodation but, it did make me think about other people that had places to go: work, pick up their kids from daycare, pick up their dogs from doggy care… That sort of thing. Trying to get to the hospital for emergencies. Those are real situations in life too. The Whole dropping rides thing seems a bit inconvenient~ One time I was up at Twin Peaks for an appointment and I got out probably 3 AM. I called Uber and it took the guy probably 20 minutes to get to me. I see him come around the corner, I reached out for the door because he slowing down, and he suddenly looks like his phone and takes off as I’m touching the door. I can’t even begin to express my surprise. Since he was still on my app, I’m texting him asking him where he is going. He says he’s got a better deal taking somebody to the airport. I couldn’t believe this guy was just leaving me stranded out there because he had a better ride~ Of course, I then had to contact Uber to explain I wasn’t a no show~ Uber gifted me a free ride and allowed me to reschedule but, it wasn’t the first time that it happened. So I dumped Uber all together and I’ve been using Lyft ever cents but, now Lyft seems to be doing this dropping thing. It’s not in every city. It’s really in certain cities that it’s prominent in my experience. Some places are actually much more responsible about picking up their passengers.

It’s Austin Powers: International man of mystery~ Mike Myers is currently my comedic Hero and role model~ I’ve been watching every film he’s either made or been a part of~ His humor and Intellect fascinate me~ Also, it turns out he’s Canadian and I’m very fond of the Canadian vibe~ I quote things from his, (mile myers), movies frequently when texting Clients/Friends~ so, a lot of times I wrote things and there’s random Austin Powers references in there. They’re just meant to be lighthearted and fun. Frank posted something about behaving and it was my opportunity to insert an Austin Powers movie gif~ It’s purpose was just to be playful~ I usually pair that with Austin powers “groovy baby” gif but, it didn’t really fit~ 🤷‍♂️

IDK… I guess I’m not fully understanding what the situation is but, you sound distressed and I’m sorry you’re going through whatever that is~ Stay strong, brother~

She’s definitely got a reputation for having a set of balls~

What was the cryptic symbol~? Did he say something mean to you~?

Haggling and situations where providers under cut each other with regards to wages, is unhealthy for the industry, because ultimately it lowers standards and the quality of services~ like anybody else, providers are under the pressure of inflation, post pandemic, rising costs for the goods and services. They also consume. While providing benefits to customers in and providing extras for customer, loyalty is common in business is common. He don’t go into a grocery store and start negotiating the prices on goods there, or into a doctors office, and saying you’re simply going to refuse to pay their outrageous fees because you want a better deal~ that whole concept of haggling also encourages escorts to over inflate the rates, so that once the haggling is done, they’re charging something appropriate to their own cost of living with the added aspect of some profit, because successful businesses are typically based on profit. I don’t negotiate my prices for general sessions shorter than a weekend, because that pricing inconsistency it can lead to an an accurate, superficial appearance of favoritism among clients or certain types of clients. Then they can actually be harmful to your business.

These are red flag opener lines for me: 1). “Hey” 2). “How much for sex” 3). “I want you now” 4). Inquiries about rape, abduction, drugs, bodily harm, animals, minors… Those are all instant blocks. introduce yourself in a neutral way. Give some sense about where you’re located, what your profile name is if chatting off site, where you saw this person… After an intro you might discuss what kind of things you’re interested in and when you think you might be looking for… You can talk about what your specific interests are as communication develops. Inquiring at some points about the rates for somebody’s time can be a completely separate topic from your personal interests. Inquiring about the cost of a specific/any sexual act is technically inquiring about prostitution. That approach increases your liability instantly. Inquiring about the cost of someone’s time is not prostitution or illegal~

Escort rates tend to be an hourly or session rate: paying for their time and not a specific act on a menu~ Paying for a sexual act is prostitution and I would tend to think that would complicate matters for either provider or Client~ Prostitution is illegal in many places… Escorting is not necessarily~

Oregon decriminalized drugs in 2020: How’s it going? WWW.OREGONLIVE.COM With Oregon being the first state in America to decriminalize possession of personal-use amounts of heroin... Chart: Then & Now Portugal's Drug Decriminalization | Statista WWW.STATISTA.COM This chart shows key developments since Portugal decriminalized drugs in 2001. It’s a bit early to tell exactly how things are going because it’s a new approach not only in Portland, but in the states~ My understanding is that Portland, Oregon is the first to do it here in the states. For a number of years, I ran a needle exchange program, along with my homeless provision program, (which I’m still currently doing in reference to homeless provision program)… some people thought of that as condoning/encouraging the use of heroin or other drugs that can be administered using needles but, really the goal was to reduce the spread of HIV and hepatitis C among people who use drugs regardless of laws prohibiting them: ie., shooting up with dirty needles and sharing them~ There’s a lot of stigma around mental illness and drug abuse, (in the homeless population both can be a concern), and that stigma can generate fear and resentment/anger/confusion of the unknown~

Quite frankly, I see much bigger problems with drugs in Seattle, Austin, Texas, San Antonio, Texas, San Francisco, all kinds of places in Florida, Missouri, Arizona and DC~

The media greatly exaggerates the reality of Portland, and paints a very in accurate picture of the city. Most people don’t know the history of Portland, what people are trying to protect their and why~ If somebody was to single out the violence and despair in cities, like Florida or New Orleans… It would make Portland look like a high tea Jubilee party.

Oh, I stop in there frequently… I lived there for 26 years. I still consider Oregon Home and go out of my way to visit there. Any chance I can get. And I walk around their day and night and pretty much any part of town and I’ve never had a problem. It actually seems that Portland has tidied up the homeless problem there. People from Portland complain a bit about the traffic but, really the only traffic is Vancouver traffic. The rest is easy in comparison to other cities around the country~ I personally find Seattle to be much more tragic, Violent, Dirty & broken when it comes to cities over all and find myself being uneasy/concerned more about walking around in San Francisco, Miami or Fort Lauderdale than I ever would in Portland~ The images below are only to show that I walk around there in the wee hours of the morning and in every part of town~ I’ve never felt threatened but, to each their own comfort level~

An excellent pairing: One fruity, wet, hints of cherry and plum w/ a festive and cheerful finish~ The other: dry, suggestions of tobacco, notes of chocolate, pomegranate, Frankenstein with a smooth, mellow finish~ My own new personal favorite… It’s will go with my cork collection~ Buon appetito~

Mike Myers is genius AF~! My hero… https://www.netflix.com/us/title/81000867?s=i&trkid=258593161&vlang=en&clip=81580520
