Guest jessedane Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Hi Everyone, The time has finally come for me to end my journey as an escort and porn actor. It’s been a decision I have been contemplating and figuring out for a number of months. After weighing all the factors, I have decided to officially retire as of the end of February. That will give me time to see out all my client commitments already made as well as see a few of those who also expressed interest in getting together. It’s been an interesting two years, full of ups and downs, but overall I feel I have grown during this period of my life. I would like to thank all of those who have been so kind and supportive and all those who have greatly enriched my life during this time. I am going to be going back to school in psychology and am planning on working with runaway, homeless, and HIV+ youth as well as sex worker outreach. I also plan on continuing my work in nightlife entertainment as well as beginning work on a documentary on the new drag scene of San Francisco. I’m very excited about where life is leading me and can’t wait to see what all will happen in the next few years. All the best!

Members marcanthony Posted January 2, 2007 Members Share Posted January 2, 2007 Good luck, Jesse. Though we have never met, I have always thought very highly of you based on your internet persona. I wish you all the best! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TampaYankee Posted January 2, 2007 Members Share Posted January 2, 2007 Jesse, I echo Marc Anthony's sentiments. There comes a time for one to move on to new challenges and demands. So it has become your time. I wish we had the opportunity to have met, at least for supper or coffee. You will be missed not only here but in the active community. Finally, thanks for your contributions to our site in our inagural year. Your presence and comments gave us energy and light along our way. Best Wishes TY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TotallyOz Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Jesse, I hate I never got the chance to meet you. You always held yourself out there with head high and a strong spirit. I wish you the best in all your future endeavors! Oz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamSmith Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 It all goes too fast and too soon. I regret we never met; you're a rare soul. Sincere best wishes faring forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RR Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Jesse: I wish you all the best and always enjoyed your comments and personality. Over the years I have learned that with each chapter of life we close we grow in character and new doors of opportunity are always exciting. Let me know if I can assist you in the future in anyway.

Members BigK Posted January 5, 2007 Members Share Posted January 5, 2007 Good luck Jesse. You don't have to stop visiting us on the message board. We would like to keep up with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lucky Posted January 6, 2007 Members Share Posted January 6, 2007 Thanks, BigK, for pointing out that Jesse's farewell is not his obituary. When one sayys he regrets not meeting Jesse, I think that it must be a regret that there was no sexual encounter, because the person behind Jesse is still available for coffee or donuts, or whatever. Hopefully that person will also decide to keep posting here even if under a new handle. I gotta admire someone who is openly HIV in the escort business today. That courage should serve him well in life...wherever it leads him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jessedane Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Thanks for all the well wishes guys! I will still stop in and say hi now and then. And Lucky is right, i'll still be around if anyone wants to say hi sometime they are in SF, you just won't be able to hire me. But also remember....I'm still working til the end of February, so time is not completely up yet, hehe. Oh yes, and on a final note. I've gotten a number of emails inquiring if a new relationship had something to play in my retirement and the answer is yes. While it was not the only deciding factor, it definitely was one of them (and no, he's not a sugar daddy). So wish me luck as I try out monogamy once again. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TampaYankee Posted January 7, 2007 Members Share Posted January 7, 2007 One door closes... another opens. Congratulations on the relationship and best wishes. Stop by anytime. You're always welcome. TY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamSmith Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 >When one sayys he regrets not meeting Jesse, I >think that it must be a regret that there was no sexual >encounter For my part, yes, that's what I meant -- regret at not meeting the public escort persona Jesse Dane, in addition to whatever aspects of the real person behind that persona he would choose to make available had we met in such circumstances. The first part a frankly selfish wish, to be sure, but still a comment that I hoped was in some way complimentary to Jesse. >I gotta admire someone who is openly HIV in the escort >business today. That courage should serve him well in >life...wherever it leads him. Concur completely. Again, best wishes to a rare soul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
