Thanks for posting that photo of him as a natural brunette. He’s extrememly attractive. Surely tho you meant to write that his ass alone would earn him the universe?

FWIW British Airways also has the policy of full refund if cancelled within 24 hours

I'm very direct but I came to the same conclusion when hiring. @TotallyOz this is the perfect summary IMO

I haven't read the original exchange in that forum, but I'm astounded that anyone would make that claim ("there is no racism in Argentina"). During my numerous visits, staying for a month or more, I was appalled by the casual racism displayed by many in Buenos Aires and in Patagonia. Even well-travelled Argentine professionals lamented that the capital was not as 'white' as it used to be and was becoming more mixed (like London, as they put it). My apologies if this true story offends but it is illustrative. The most jaw-dropping racism I ever heard was at a dinner party of medical professionals, in a smart restaurant, who complained how much more prosperous Brazilians were becoming. Tho I speak Spanish, I didn't at first understand that when they talked about holidays in Rio and Punta del Este and complained about the 'monkeys'... that they were referring to their Brazilian counterparts

Is everyone else, like me, mentally interpolating "short-lived" in that sentence?

It played for me. I know young Brazilians and Argentines can be very keen on cosmetic procedures...but this is crazy IMO

Normally it is an abbreviation of Ignacio. Perhaps confusingly, in Spain a man may have a second given name that is female (eg Maria) and a woman may have a second given name that is male (eg Jesus).

No, I wouldn’t. But I have a well-muscled friend, a big tall guy who’s versatile in bed. Like me, he enjoys the challenge of topping physically bigger guys...but he adores getting topped by small, skinny guys.

Some of those ‘international’ guys who worked in London did have fabulous physiques and were great in bed (I dated 3). I noticed however that, when they returned to Brazil, they tried to maintain an international pricing for their services.

The posts about Argentine service-providers make me smile. The chronic lateness is extreme. Having to write and confirm previously-agreed details is undeniable. Inability to look at a map and understand how to reach an hotel must be widespread as it explains the abundance of taxis. This brings back the memories of meeting a dazzlingly handsome soldier with green eyes. He lived outside Buenos Aires city so I made a date with him for the next day. We agreed on drinks in a cafe at 8pm, sex in a telo (hourly hotel) and dinner at 10pm...with the promise that if he performed very well, I would let him stay with me overnight in my hotel room. I stressed that he must be punctual. That evening I took a book with me and waited from 7.50pm. There was no response to my calls at 8.20 and 8.40 but at 9pm he phoned me. He was on his way and would be there “in an hour or so”. I told him I was not going to wait and would have dinner with an American friend. I was doing so when he rang me at 11pm and again asked to meet me. I was tough with him but he begged me as he had nowhere to stay overnight. So I relented but told him I was tired so he would have to please me orally. The man began by rimming me exhaustively - so much so that for the first time in my life I thought about bottoming - before he superbly sucked my cock and brought me to an explosive climax in his mouth. We then cuddled and talked for an hour or so before I got him to perform again. When we woke in the morning, I finally got the chance to pound out my frustration of the previous evening in his cute ass. As regards price/rates in Argentina, I generally found the offer of dinner and drinks, or maybe some clothes-shopping, was acceptable to many young guys. If it was a working guy, I paid US$40 generally. To the green-eyed soldier, I gave US$100 and he was so delighted that he instantly asked when we could meet again.

I imagine she is as surprised and devastated as the wife of Bruce Weber must be.

I'm keen to read more of his exploits too, but we must not be impatient. @Tartegogo is not Emily Dickinson: he's living life to the full, not just writing about it ;-)

My speculation, of course, is that, as many gossips suggest, he may have had various attractive young men service him. With the current moral climate about men in positions of power, his behaviour might be viewed as coercive. I certainly recall that when Superman Returns was being filmed largely in Sydney in 2005 there was gossip in City Gym. It seems that a film-maker worked out there with a different personal trainer each time. It was reported to me that he asked the trainer if he'd like to be an extra in the movie; the trainer was then invited back to his hotel for dinner and to discuss his role. I can't vouch for the rumour that the audition was always overnight. City Gym had some trainers who were bi or gay and others who were straight. It was said to me that he had them all in turn.

Given Singer's well-known propensity for attractive fit young men, I'm not surprised. This item appeared on 9 November on a highly-respected UK gossip site: Singer's sudden stagefright Ever since it was first announced back in 2010, the Freddie Mercury biopic has been an endless string of problems. It's been through so many actors, directors and drafts of the script that you'd think the thing was cursed. Yet just when it looked as if things might finally be coming together, something very strange appears to have come over the film's current director, Bryan Singer. Word from the set is that he's having fairly regular breakdowns and has been going MIA so frequently that the production keeps getting shut down. What on earth could have happened in the last few weeks that might be causing famous Hollywood director Bryan Singer such consternation, we wonder? Surely nothing that could bring the entire project to its knees?

I don't want to get into the details of this and all the other cases of alleged sexual harassment, but clearly I missed something on the TV News. When did the US abandon the judicial presumption of innocent until proven guilty?

I do wonder about the idiocy of some people when visiting a foreign country

Is it really physically impossible for you to visit 2 places in the same city in 1 late afternoon and evening?

If you're so curious about Lucas Ferraz, have you contacted him direct to ask if he will top a gay man? I ask only because his advert states that he provides service to women and heterosexual couples.

It's very sad news. As a man who's older than he but in good health, it shocks me that he's dead at 56. I wonder if pneumonia was the cause.

I feel you've had good advice here @tassojunior. I can only add to the warnings not to engage in a sham marriage as there are severe penalties for both of you. On the immigration front, the lawyers at Barst Mukamal & Kleiner are the best. When I looked into this myself, 3 heavyweight law-firms separately recommended BM&K as the specialists to hire. On the question of protecting your assets, I'd also recommend you pay a firm of lawyers of his choice to advise your friend on the prenuptial agreement. This may cost you an extra $6-10,000 in fees but save you much more later. You should ensure that you enter into the prenuptial agreement long before you get married (so there can be no argument that he was pressured into signing).

"Argentina is a special case" - these are such wise words, @Tartegogo. They apply not only to escorts but to all other aspects of the country. I found that everything works there, but not in the way you'd expect from a European or North American standpoint. I certainly recall this complication with the phone numbers. And before WhatsApp, I only called and never texted. I particularly remember how working guys there often changed their working name and, less often, their phone numbers. I met many nice, well-muscled guys who were keen to please and satisfy. But I also recall less pleasurably the chronic lateness of guys. The best and the worst example was a beautiful, green-eyed young soldier who turned up 2 hours late for our pre-dinner date of 8pm; he was terrific in bed and asked for very little; I finally took him to dinner just before midnight.

There's been quite a lot of coverage of this issue in the UK press. The links between taking crystal meth (and other illegal drugs) and using Grindr (and other websites) to invite strangers home for group sex and resulting non-consensual activity have been well publicised. If you're interested, there's a recently published account by one of the first openly gay soldiers in the UK Army of how he got into the whole chemsex scene and was raped (on two different occasions). The UK police authorities have been fairly supportive to male victims, but there's very little the Police can do. Victims rarely speak out and they are generally unable to identify (in some cases, even describe) their assailants.

You've not forgotten but rather you're not emphasising one important step IMHO: the transfer from airport to hotel. In Latin America, it's best never to take an ordinary taxi from the international airport to the city. They can be unsafe and robberies 'en route' happen often. Rather you should hire a "remise" (car and driver) - usually such firms have a booth or kiosk before you leave the secure area, and the transfer is a fixed price which you can pay with a creditcard at the time of booking. I usually booked these online for cities such as Buenos Aires; some firms offer a discount if you book airport transfers both ways (30% off with the firm I used in Rio). I suggest you google the airports you'll be using to see the major firms.A smaller point is that you will need some cash money immediately (to buy coffee or bottled water at the airport and for gratuities to the driver, hotel porter etc.) The airport may have an ATM and also a forex kiosk. If you intend to use an ATM in the city, make sure you go in banking hours. And one note of caution: check the notes you get out of the ATM - ripped or damaged notes may be refused later in shops - and at the forex kiosk, count the money again before you leave the counter - first time in Buenos Aires, I exchanged US$200 and the clerk counted the notes rapidly and pushed them at me; I recounted and pointed out it was the equivalent of US$30 short; without apology, he just pushed more notes at me!
