Please explain to Mr. Vidal that the whole basis of language is assigning common definitions to words. If one forms the habit of using words according to some private definition rather than according to their common definition, one might as well not speak at all, since one will not be able to communicate with others in either case.

Yes, you were disparaging me and you're doing it again. The "hostility," "grimness" and "resentment" you're imputing to me actually exist only in your imagination. But your imagination clearly isn't up to the task of visualizing someone who enjoys hiring escorts without engaging in the pretense that you want from them.

I think it's clear that the majority of our fellow citizens agree with me and not with you on the first issue. And I never said all forms of dehumanization are equal. I would merely say that they are all dehumanizing, and that someone who engages in one form should not, as you do, try to make himself feel superior to those who engage in other forms.

This is the second time you've disparaged Americans in one short post. If you find Americans so unpleasant, why not leave? Don't worry about us. We can get along without you, I assure you of that.

If it's so crystal clear, then why do so many people do it? To feel dehumanized? Is that why this site exists? So men can come here in droves to plan their intended dehumanization with sex workers? Funny, I thought people did it so that they might actually enhance their human experience. To be a part of the race, to connect with another person and not to actually become less human. I may have to rethink some of my business practices if that's the case.

Thank you so much for enlightening us on this. I'm sure Mr. Vidal will also equally grateful to have this explained to him by such an intellectual.

I suppose you've taken a poll - including, no doubt, ALL of our members, not just the ones that have replied to this thread. And it's SO comforting to know that you're right, just because the majority agree with you, isn't it?

How typical - how dare anyone disparage Americans! They walk on water simply by the fact that they are Americans. Give your fragile head a shake. It is precisely this attitude that has caused them to be hated by a large percentage of the world's population.

 

And why should Willy leave, as you suggest? Just so you won't be challanged? He has as much right to his viewpoint as you do. And by the way, I'd be willing to bet he doesn't spend one second, worrying about you - so relax already.

They do it for a hug, a squirt and a little B-grade community theater. And, if they're on a business trip, maybe a respite from an alternative form of B-grade community theater called corporate life. And what's this "sex worker" stuff? That is the most dehumanizing term I've ever heard. Whore, hustler and rental meat are infinitely more respectable.

1. Willy's not leaving. He was a child when people had those America: Love It Or Leave It stickers on their cars. He laughed at them then, and he's laughing now at "Regulation's" effort to imitate Spiro Angew, which is rapidly degenerating into a bad impression of Queen Victoria or J. Edgar Hoover, or maybe the latter when dressed as the former.

 

Speaking of Agnew, one fascinating thing here is that Reg is turning out to be quite the nattering nabob of negativism when it comes to our shared interest. Come on, Reg, this is a forum about guys (and you) hiring guys for a hug, a squirt :D and a little B-grade community theater. Loosen up, or maybe quit while you're behind?

 

2. Thun, you are absolutely correct that Willy doesn't worry one second about "Regulation." On the contrary, Willy is having great fun watching "Regulation" twist his own panties (or, speaking of the later Miss Hoover, black feather boa?) tighter and tighter. Let's hope he doesn't have a nuke in the basement, because then the search for al-Quaeda will have been misplaced.

 

Reg, it's time to go out an hire an escort dressed as a Mormon missionary. When you're done, tell us all about it, garment included.

Gore Vidal will forget more than I'll ever know about how to use words with flair and wit. I don't think he needs my advice or explanation.

 

>Yes, you were disparaging me and you're doing it again. The

>"hostility," "grimness" and "resentment" you're imputing to

You're absolutely right. Given that this whole exchange is virtual, our imaginations are all we really have to go on here.

 

>But your

>pretense that you want from them.

 

I've written in great detail why I hire escorts. How about you? What do you derive from the experience? What motivates you to hire an escort? How would you differentiate a "bad" experience from an "O.K." experience from a "great" experience? I have been detailed and specific in my answers. Give us as much detail as you can. I'm really curious.

 

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.

 

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat

 

- Theodore Roosevelt

 

And what greater cause can a man have but the quest to get his mouth and/or ass jammed by one of America's finest, or vice versa, or maybe both in the same hour or two?

 

>I think it's clear that the majority of our fellow citizens

>agree with me and not with you on the first issue.

 

Why the fuck should I care what the majority of Americans think? It's a free country. Some aspects of our lives are untouchable by majority opinion; what we do with our dicks with another consenting adult is one of those things. Regardless of what Mississippi might have to say about it.

 

>And I

>never said all forms of dehumanization are equal. I would

>merely say that they are all dehumanizing, and that someone

>who engages in one form should not, as you do, try to make

>himself feel superior to those who engage in other forms.

 

If I accept for purpose of argument that paying for sex is "dehumanizing," there is still utterly no basis to conclude that I have no standing to criticize other forms of dehumanization. Are you arguing, for instance, that someone who hires escorts has no reason to critize mass murderers?

 

>This is the second time you've disparaged Americans in one

>leave?

 

I love my country enough to love not only its triumphs, success and beauty, but its sadness, absurdity and ugliness, too. I imagine that, as has been the case over the decades, we can work to diminish what is failed and sad about America and enhance what is beautiful. And what we can't fix, well, at least we can laugh at it.

 

America is a never-ending project. Our country only gets better, even if on occasion we suffer through a president with the I.Q. of a Golden Retriever who gained office by stealing the election. George W. Bush, along with certain other national idiocies, shall pass. This makes me an optimist.

 

Which, I suspect, is what truly enrages you.

Actually not that many people do, Joey. Ours is a country of almost 300 million people. Based on the data I've seen, only a tiny fraction of them hire prostitutes on a regular basis.

I know you've accused yourself of being stupid several times on this board, but is it really necessary to keep reminding us of it by posting childish nonsense like the above?

If you will brush up on your English, you may be able to figure out that I used the words "fellow citizens" because I wanted to refer to my fellow citizens, not to the tiny, weird little minority that patronizes this website.

People who hate Americans shouldn't live in America. I feel quite confident that a large majority of my fellow citizens agree with me about that too.

If he hates Americans as much as you do, he should leave because it must be a tremendous strain living in a place in which you are constantly surrounded by people you hate. I would have thought that even someone as limited as you would be able to figure that out.

No, we also have what each of us has written. The problem is, some here suffer from a peculiar kind of dyslexia that causes them to look at a post and see things that are not really written there. They reply to the post based on what they imagine was written rather than what was actually written. That's what you're doing.

I hope this doesn't shock you, but satisfying the curiosity of a total stranger about my sex life is not something that interests me at all.

You're right in saying that you've written in some detail about why you hire escorts. The question is, why did you do so? I've looked at my previous posts in this thread for something that might have given you the idea that I give a shit about why you hire escorts and what you do with them, but I really can't find anything. That's what I expected, because the fact is I DON'T give a shit why you hire escorts and what you do with them. If your statements here result from a powerful desire to tell strangers about your sex life, have you considered going on Jerry Springer?

 

>>I think it's clear that the majority of our fellow citizens

Because they can arrest you and force you to tell everyone in your life that you are a registered sex offender?

I think we all know that isn't true. Right, Bilbo?

No, but the reason is not that they are dehumanizing.

But apparently not its people. Well, we're not leaving, so why don't you follow the example of your mentor Vidal?

Nothing that you've said enrages me. To me, you are merely another source of entertainment. Like escorts. :-)

I'm glad you and Thunderbuns have found each other. You both use the same tired, nelly cliches that went out in the early 80s, and that suggests you have much in common. I think people on the same intellectual level should support each other, and the two of you certainly qualify in that regard. I'm glad to have been the one that brought you together. Now, no matter how many people find you contemptible, you'll still have each other.

I'm coming late to the fray with nothing better than an elaborate side comment.

 

'Service' versus 'commodity.' Some while back, airlines offered a service. Most people my age remember their mothers dressing them up to fly on an airline. It was special. It was an experience. And we (or our parents) didn't mind paying a premium for it.

 

Then, in the Seventies, airlines began competing on price. When you compete on price, that means your margins grow ever slimmer, which in turn means that profits are to be found principally in high volume and low costs. It was a big mistake. Today, it doesn't matter what airlines tout as the next service enhancement, we buy out tickets based on the fare. That's a commodity.

 

Make of that what you will, since I've forgotten my point.

 

P.S. I LIKE Gore Vidal. Who cares if he an expat. One should listen to him the same way one should read The Economist. It pays to know what one's detractors are saying.

 

Carry on.

Of course my cliches are nelly, honey! I'm a card-carrying, homosexual, cock-sucking faggot. Who could expect anything else? Out in the early 80? Gosh, I wouldn't know about that - you see I was too young and not yet out in the early eighties. Not like some old washed up ugly hag gender bendered queer like some I could mention.

I'm calling you limited because you are. The first post you addressed to me on this board chided those of us who lament the exile of several posters whom you considered insulting. Since then you've made an about-face and now you consistently behave in every bit as vicious and hateful a manner as the people you said were deservedly exiled -- please don't lie and deny that. That would make you a liar as well as a hypocrite.

There isn't any "fray" to join, blue. "Willy" gave up talking about the issue in order to post stale fag jokes a long time back. They're so old that no one at the circuit parties he attends understands them any longer, so where can he use them if not here? Thunderbuns never had anything to say about the issue to begin with. He needs to post his scabrous hate messages on this board because if he didn't he'd have to direct his misanthropy at himself.

 

As for the "commodity" aspect of this industry, when you see ads by some escorts with language like "Been disappointed before? You won't be with me!" or "This ad is 100% accurate -- unlike all the others!" you know you're looking at a commodity business.

Vidal was an interesting and original writer in his younger days, but that was a long, long time ago. My take on it is that he couldn't stand to live here any longer when people here stopped being impressed by his family connection to the Kennedys. In another few years there won't be many people who even remember who Jackie was, so it's just as well he left. If it works for him, maybe Woody Allen should move to Paris (along with Jerry Lewis). What do you think?

Such ads are evidence of exactly the opposite. When was the last time you saw an ad for hard winter wheat, saying, "Didn't like the other hard winter wheat? Try ours!" Or for copper saying, "Didn't like that copper you got from Chile? Try ours from from China!"

Given that you, too, patronize this web site, can I safely assume that the term self-hating homosexual describes you well?

The "Regulations" of the world, those brittle defenders of orthodoxy who like to get plugged up the ass in secret while hating themselves for it and simultaneously feeding off their self-hatred to increase the exquiteness of their pleasure, would equate with "disloyalty" any notice of the characteristics that H.L. Mencken summed up in his term booboisie, thereby placing themselves in that selfsame category.

It was germane to the topic. You refuse to comment on your reasons for hiring escorts not out of some desire for "privacy," but because you might have to acknowledge that you have some unique desires that can be better addressed by some escorts than by others.

 

Once you do that, you undermine your argument that escorts offer undifferentiated services and therefore are commodities, which is where this whole exchange started. If I were you, I'd try to change the subject, too.

 

>Because they can arrest you and force you to tell everyone

For consenting homosexual activity? This used to occur but no longer does. Not even in Mississippi.

I'm with Willy on this one. The advertising messages you cite are in fact trying to differentiate on quality of service. A commodity would differentiate on price.

But didn't Vidal leave long, long before "people here stopped being impressed," etc.? I confess I'm not sure. Anyhow, are you saying he found more notoriety in Rome?

 

Yes, Woody Allen should move to Paris. That's a good match since they're both becoming increasingly irrelevant.

 

I wonder if there are any other good expatriate matches. Mike Piazza to Amsterdam?

Aw reg, that's not only a bad joke, but a cheap shot and a low blow. Speaking of all three, how's your mother?

 

Sorry to wallow in the gutter like that, but when in Rome...

Maybe you can get him to explain the difference between 'your' and 'you're.' Or teach you how to spell words like 'intuitive' and 'supremacy.' It's funny the way people on this board who criticize the intelligence of others often slip up and show they can't even get the basics of their own native language right.

Yeah, it is, I remember it too. You used to be one of those self-righteous types who was so sad and superior about all the insults here. No one paid much attention to you when you did that so now you're trying the opposite and throwing dirt at anyone who has something to say. Can't you just deal with the fact that you're a bore and no one cares about you? Try.

>It was germane to the topic.

 

Hmmmmm . . . not really. Making a point about the way escorts price their services can be done without writing paragraphs about your personal fetishes. You can always tell the drag queens and the other limp-wristed types here. When cornered they always start talking about 'panties in a bunch' and men wearing dresses.

>I were you, I'd try to change the subject, too.

 

It's kind of hard to avoid thinking that escorts are commodities when they start advertising themselves the same way detergent companies advertise their products, which is what Reg pointed out.

 

You are the one who changed the subject by the way. This thread was started by an escort who wanted to lash out at clients because he resents the fact that escorts have to sell their personal features and qualities as a product while clients don't. Maybe coming up with some convoluted argument about the uniqueness of escorts makes you feel better about having to pay for it but sdmuscle's post reveals the resentment some of them really feel about having to commodify themselves.

 

>For consenting homosexual activity? This used to occur but

>no longer does. Not even in Mississippi.

 

Last time I checked prostitution was still a crime in the States. Some of the escorts who post here have been busted and they can tell you about it.

In spite of all the ‘piss and vinegar’ this has turned into a interesting thread.

 

>>If you will brush up on your English, you may be able to

>>wanted to refer to my fellow citizens, not to the tiny,

>>weird little minority that patronizes this website.

>

>Given that you, too, patronize this web site, can I safely

>assume that the term self-hating homosexual describes

>you well?

 

Why do people so often assume that someone is a ‘self-hating homosexual’ whenever they say something less than flattering about themselves or their peers?

 

It does not follow that someone is ‘self-hating’ just because they are able to acknowledge that this web site, and especially those of us who haunt the message center, are a decided minority and a little bit weird too?

 

We are, in fact, a minority within a minority. Just because we are able to find like minded individuals on a site that draws men from around the world does not change the fact that we are very different from most of our neighbors and a significant portion of the gay community. Doesn’t that, by definition, make us ‘weird’?

 

Acknowledging that fact does not make someone self-hating. It is just the reality of the situation and trying to sugarcoat it, or pretend that it isn’t true, is more likely an indication of self-hatred (at least in my book). I don’t have to pretend that this is common, everyday behavior in order to live the way I choose to live – precisely because I am anything but self-hating.
