I have thought this over. If one of us lost a partner, no one would question us posting about it. Hell, if we lost a dog we'd be posting about it. So where does the rule get drawn that you cannot post about a loss- of any kind. It's the same thing Oz is always telling us- ignore what you don't like. Obviously an escort and a client can form a close bond. It can hurt when bonds no longer exist. So post about it. Many of us will be here for you.

It's a big deal when they monopolize the guy you are interested in. Sometimes they don't even off him, but it's usually too late by the time that gets decided. It's a big deal when the guys cater to the girls from the stage to show how straight they are. Gays pay. Women think they don't have to. Just my observations.

I am gathering that there are not many book readers here, BigK being a big exception. But I just finished a great novel called A Ladder to the Sky, by John Boyne. It's about an aspiring young writer who takes advantage of his extreme beauty to endear himself to older authors. He then takes what they have to teach him and then dumps them. Gore Vidal did not so succumb, in an interesting chapter. As he becomes famous, with little talent, he needs to keep finding sources for his writings, but eventually, his looks fade and he drinks a lot. And then he meets young Theo. It's a fascinating novel, ranked 4.5 stars at Amazon, and 5 stars by me.

You make a good point, Paborn1340.

Well, I was not then a child. How is a guy supposed to feel after learning that the priests were diddling all the boys...except for himself! What was wrong with me? Well, I think they must have known that I would never have kept it quiet.

No priest ever hit on me either. However, as an adult, I allowed the head of a seminary I attended for one year to stay at my place and gave him my bed while I slept on the couch. He kept telling me that we had yet to properly say goodnight. This is after he had gone to bed. So I said good night, that's it. Never saw him again.

Well, I doubt this guy diddled Ike.

Well, what happened in the intervening five years?

Thanks for the report, bitch! Above is a private joke.

https://www.theguardian.com/books/2018/dec/30/ikes-mystery-man-review-robert-bobby-cutler-peter-shinkle President Dwight D. Eisenhower employed a gay man as his personal secretary during some of the most troubling battles against gays in the 50's. A witch hunt like Trump has never seen aimed to ferret gays out of the government, but right next to the president was a gay man, troubled, closeted, and not always fair to other gays. Ike’s Mystery Man is the perfect title for Peter Shinkle’s fine biography, from which the big headline is about Cutler’s shepherding of a disastrous 1953 executive order under which the lives of thousands of federal employees were destroyed just because they were gay," the Post says. The new book should be a fascinating read.

Hi Jake the tenth. I am glad you converse in English! Who are/were the other 9 Jakes?

Or just being bitchy because your back hurts.

ronjames, we could probably tell some good stories. In 1987, the baht was 22 to the dollar, and yes, 300 to 400 was thee going rate. I am glad prices have climbed for the sex workers' sake, and it doesn't matter much now because I am not as horny as I as in 1987. Thankfully.

Having grown up a Catholic, I swallowed hook, line and sinker all of the indoctrination against sex, and gay sex in particular. It caused me no shortage of problems. To learn later in life that priests themselves were avidly engaging in sex and gay sex was a shock. My disillusionment with the Church grew and I finally gave it up. But many gay men have not, and they each have their own reasons. For some, it is no doubt hard to disavow something you have belonged to since birth. Gay sex is a sin, the Church says, even though so many priests delight in it, preferably with a little kid. The NY Times today has an article about a gay man in San Diego who has not only tried to keep current with his faith, but actually has a job with his parish church. Not everyone is happy. He has received many threats. Why does he continue with a church that does not want him? Read the article to find out: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/29/us/catholic-church-gay-members.html

I am sorry for your loss.

That didn't take long! One less physician to take seriously.

LOL! How did you know that was my middle name? But even Felicia has better taste in men than you do.

I definitely like some of these guys.

Your opinion will be taken under consideration.

Okay, I won't reply. And yes, that second pic guy is ugly.

Your multiple contributions here have been so enlightening I thought you had forgotten about the other site already.

Christian Bale stars very credibly as former Vice President and war criminal Dick Cheney in VICE. I thought I knew all of the evils of the Bush W. administration, but there are new revelations in the movie. The Cheney White House was full of scoundrels, none of whom have ever been punished for waging war on Irag and innocent mid-Easterners. Hundreds of thousands of people in Irag were killed, not to mention thousands of US soldiers, because Cheney had alloted the Iraq oil interests to Halliburton and the major oil companies and they had to find a way to take control of them. The damage done in the name of the United States is just shattering. Now we have Trump. Let's hope he doesn't see the movie and get any new ideas. John Yoo wrote the memo justifying torture, yet he now is a Professor at Berkeley and walks the streets without fear. Not that I would suggest he be tortured. I wouldn't, right?

It's not that they offend me! You don't have to be a smartass. The owner of the site says that they cannot be posted in forums where the general public can see them. As far as I know, this is a public forum. Other forums are for members with ten posts or more and allow nudity/porn.

Isn't this a forum where nude pics are not allowed?

As he should be. Who would want to share Christmas with him? He's plotting what else he can do for Putin and how else he can screw our allies. But at least he gave us that tax cut. I haven't seen any savings yet from it, and I don't expect to. Luckily I don't own stocks.
