Steven Draker retired?

[uwsman2]

I had the pleasurable experience of several times with Steven when he visited NYC. He was always a total gentleman and a hot partner in bed. I miss him.

[liubit]

I came to the conclusion that his ass was, in fact, the 8th wonder of the world!

The 8th, the 7th, the 6th....just all of them! Burying my face between those fantastic glutes and rimming his wonderful hole was the ultimate pleasure....

As an escort he was one of the best.

I entirely agree.

 

Once again --and this time in English so I don't get reprimanded --, my very best wishes to you, dear Steven.

For me, he was a nice guy and great escort. His posts were controversial at times, but I did not take them with the degree of seriousness which others did. I do think he played out some personal animosities on the board, but in the final analysis, for all of us the board persona and the real world persona are never quite identical. One can certainly hope that certain clownish behavior on the forum is not meet by similar buffoonery in the real world.

Are you telling us that this site is not a part of the real world? Granted that no one's cyber persona is identical with the human being we may meet in the flesh, but what Steven did here, both good and bad, had real effects on real people.

[marylander1940]

Count me as one of those. But as contentious as it was, it kept everyone on their toes, and the forum was quite lively then.

 

I'm sorry, gratuitous, out-of-the-blue nastiness, of which Mr. Draker was often guilty in the time I've been here, is never called for. Nor is deliberately baiting people in order to provoke them into ToS violations and timeouts. Neither has anything to do with social media awkwardness.

 

We remember that too, I received some PM from him that weren't nice, and we did argue a few times... Nobody is perfect, let's focus on the good contributions he did to the forum, his knowledge, education and the fact that a few times gave us a lesson with his behavior.

 

I'm glad you @quoththeraven posted this but it may not be the proper time to bring this up considering he's either retired or according to some in trouble with the IRS because of the RB raid.

 

I never faced reactions like these, I exchanged posts with him in here, and we followed each other on Twitter. He was always thoughtful and courteous. I know my impressions are not shared universally, but I wish him well, but I'm putting off a trip to Belgium for the moment!

 

You got lucky!

 

He had his moments, like many of us including myself.

 

It was the best of times. It was the........

To some it is the real world!

Well some people are more themselves here than others. As to the real life evil effect Steven had on others, that would be for them to report, as I have no knowledge of that. My interactions with him in the real world were positive. <My reaction to his posts here was mostly acceptable with an occasion "oh my".

[+ José Soplanucas]

I would love to see those outrageous posts, but my laziness is stronger than my curiosity.

[+ Charlie]

I think he got into more trouble with his private interactions with other posters than with the public posts. And then there were those posts he made under another handle, pretending to be someone else.....

[MiamiLooker]

Draker was the forum’s very own Donald Trump. No matter how nasty he was or who he bullied, his supporters were unwavering.

[AdamSmith]

I think some of us overstimate up to what extent social media fosters and environment that actually reflects reality. If you meet me in person, you will probably think I am an impostor. That is not because I am dishonest or schizophrenic, but because interaction dynamics are different. I am shy, I never feel fully relaxed in social situations, my speaking and listening skills in English are even worse than my reading/writing ones (yeah, believe it!). These circumstances strongly determine the way I can show who I am.

I may be wrong, but it is reasonable to assume that most of us do not have a personal, beyond superficial knowledge of Mr. Draker. Is he a good or a bad person? I do not know, but I wish he is a cool and happy guy. I can tell about my interaction with him here. Although brief, it was fruitful and enjoyable for me. When I was a newbie and got in some unpleasant conflicts, he went out of his way to coach and support me. Without me asking for anything, he reached out through PM to support and cheer me up. I miss him. I am sorry that not everyone had the same experience.

Your good private experience of him, when taken together with my (and numerous others') private experience of his unprecedentedly pathological assaults on us in PM (which any sane person can see the fruitlessness of, in public social media -- these *privately* delivered attacks are only to fish for the weakest among us) simply sum to document the deep mental and emotional problems present.

[steed8]

My god....WHAT....AN....ASS!

 

Take that as you will...grin

 

Before I get attacked...I really am talking about his ass.

He was an interesting escort and I had some really fun

times with him. I will say he's the first escort I ever hired

where I felt the escort was going out of his way to

"take care" of me. I took my first (of many) gay cruises

because he suggested it. I also got to watch him on the

StairMaster once on a gay cruise....it was truly a thing of beauty.

 

 

At the risk of sounding dated & like an old fuddy duddy who is speaking the lingo of The Depression (the big 1930's one), "Yowzah... yowzah!!" That ass!

OMG, yes, yes, yes.

[robberbaron4u]

By my observation, we spent the greater part of our lives "old" rather than "young"; the prudent man realizes that physical beauty and sexual prowess are fleeting things and nurtures character as a hedge against the inevitable downturn in his marketability.

Perhaps, but until that Ass sags, it makes for some mighty fine eattin..... Lets just say Draker was the Ass with the ass.....

I agree with Adam Smith. I was also on the receiving end of nasty private messages from Mr. Draker. I took them as evidence of a very troubled individual (Mr. Draker). I felt that in his final few months on this forum, he became increasingly bitter, nasty, and unstable. None of that is meant to minimize his acute intelligence and beautiful ass (both of which he had). However, taken as a whole package, I quickly determined that Steven Draker was to be avoided.

That picture is not Steven. He never posted a full face pic. Steven has always been discrete about his online profiles.

[+ Charlie]

I only met him once, but the face does not look like what I remember. The person in the photo is also a lot younger than Steven.

Nope. That is model/designer Todd Sanfield (native of Michigan USA....not Belgium)

I googled Steven Draker and that's one of the pictures that had his name attached to it.

Misidentification of photos happens a lot on the internet.

[+ Truereview]

I lurked around those Draker times.

I stayed away in fear all members were so.

Now I regret not having had some of that ass,

yet perhaps it was for the best, alas.

A simple example of "fake news"

[caliguy]

last time I met up with him, he'd put on some weight in all the wrong places and was looking the "worse for wear". Mother Nature runs her course.

I'm curious as to when you met him because your description is so at odds with everyone else's.

[DR FREUD]

I saw him on his last visit to the states a little over a year ago. It had been a couple of years since we had last met. He indeed looked older, beefier and not cut at all. But he had lost none of his sexual prowess or conversational skills. And the ass was still above perfect. We all age and in Steven's case it just made him sexier.
