Hiring freeze

[Guest]

Perhaps Benj and friends in the Big D can copy what's being done in Portland. Introducing Boober Eats!

 

Portland finds a way. Close down her strip clubs, and dancers will do delivery.

 

That’s what’s happening at the Lucky Devil Lounge at 633 S.E. Powell Blvd. The club was forced to close with Gov. Kate Brown’s mandate to stem the spread of coronavirus, but the order does allow food establishments to offer take-out or delivery.

 

 

And thus was born club owner Shon Boulden’s newest business: Boober Eats.

 

The home delivery service, in which a pair of scantily clad strippers will deliver hot food to your door, started as a joke Boulden posted on social media. When people began seriously inquiring about orders, Boulden saw potential.

 

So, while the rest of Portland was hoarding toilet paper and pasta, he bought out one local store’s stock of pasties.

 

From 7 p.m. to 1 a.m., Boober Eats is offering the full menu from the Lucky Devil Lounge at the same prices. Delivery rates are generally $30, but vary depending on distance from the lounge

Big D guy here. One of the bartenders at the World Famous Tin Room here in Dallas has started an Only Fans page to get by. This guy has a huge piece, too. Hope he does well.

 

Pekers Bar (non-dancer bar) has a GoFund Me page for its bartenders.

 

Caven Enterprises (owner of several local gay bars) provided groceries and food to its employees. They have done other things as well but I’d have to go research those things.

 

Several restaurants in the gay area of Dallas have closed permanently. Also, the Warwick Melrose Hotel in the heart of gay Dallas is closed until April 30.

You mean like this escort ad?

Due to the COVID-19 for your complete safety protection and peace of mind, I am keeping my self to the highest standards of cleanliness...

 

 

You know this ad is misleading.

 

No matter how clean a provider may be, the exchange of infected body fluids can pass on the virus.

Old news they have reported it staying on surfaces awhile ago unless maybe it was just on Spanish news stations. They have been saying to take off your shoes before going into your house because it can stay up to 8 hrs on concrete and I believe on your clothes for 24 hrs. It makes sense that it would survive longer on a cruise ship because all the moisture in the air would keep it alive.

I wish I hadn’t read THIS post?

I actually had to cancel an upcoming session this week with 2 providers. Was planning to visit Western Canada for a few days, mainly to see these 2 guys. Very frustrating to cancel my trip and session.

 

Curious … who were the two lucky guys you were planning to see?

I travel about 80% of the year for work. I'm never in my actual home city, so being here this long is a real first for me. I also only hire when I'm on the road - I like the somewhat anonymity and not shitting where I eat, so to speak.

 

But if I was in another city, and an escort was willing and the right match, I think I would still do it. I'm not going to be exposing other people, and if the escort was willing to the risk, I think I would be too.

BOTH of you are risking it. What's more important, "getting a nut" or catching/giving a virus to another?

 

This reminds me of a film which I viewed many years back during the high peaks of the AIDS virus. ...went to a film where the main actor was a teacher. He had gotten ill (...can't remember if it were HIV or acute flu). While he was hospitalized, he left his bed to go out and fuck. His actions sickened me for his having exhibited complete irresponsibility. Could he had NOT waited until he was not ill, giving his germs, etc. to another and spreading...?

What difference does it make who were the "two lucky guys?" What more important for all: being sexually satisfied or perhaps refraining from play in order NOT to obtaining a virus through "play?"

Relax. He isn't hiring, he said he is canceling. What's the harm in chatting about who he had planned on hiring and dreaming for the future? Get off your moral crusade for just a minute and let people have fun.

If you are hiring these days, you might as well play Russian Roulette.

The guys that see multiple guys daily very scary.

My regular guy texted me yesterday saying he can't remember when he last worked... which is good from a societal perspective, but not for his pocket book. I did give him a month's fee for his services 2 week ago (when i only met him but did not play).

Great analogy but why stop there? Why don't we throw in the Jewish Holocaust while were at it.

 

If two adults wish to get together for some consensual sex that's really up to him and he sure don't need you to shame him over it.

Consexual sex is not social distancing, unless they are individuals already living under the same roof.

Social distancing is about numbers. Unless he's making plans with lots of guys shaming him for one dude he likes is definitely the Mrs Kravitz award.

This crisis like so many others seems to have a have vs have not ring to it. It the hourly workers, bartenders restaurants etc, that are out of work. Those who are more fortunate work remotely from larger spaces and complain about going stir crazy with our laptops and Webex calls. I think I'm going to look up a couple of favorite guys from the past year or so and just venmo some cash. I'll let you know how it goes. (Watch this thread light up the posts)

Yes, but how do you know who's clean or infected? Most folks are asymptomatic.

Dunno. If we had a drive through testing like others or maybe at home kits it wouldn't be a big issue. Get a clean bill of health that day and go for it.

my god... did you just use the word "clean"? the pc police are gonna be one you for that one! or wait... do they only patrol when it is a pc position they are on the hunt for?

[marylander1940]

Great point I should have said NEGATIVE!

 

but you're not answering the question.

[caliguy]

It is an offensive word.

[Gymowner]

marylander my statement was really just said to be tongue and cheek.

 

cali.... if we are talking on here about hiv and you mention... "i asked the guy if he was clean and he said yes", inferring he is hiv negative... all hell would break loose!

I get sarcasm, my reply was honest.

 

Let's mention @caliguy so he can reply to you on a timely manner.
