Anonymous – Feb 4, 2017
I was very attracted to his photos, I’ve always had a thing for later phase Michael Jackson, but when he arrived, I was just too startled by how he looks in person and I had to cancel the appointment, he could not have been nicer about it.

Ohscotty – Jan 30, 2017
I don’t know what kind of ass fetish you’d need to have to get off on his. Based on the scar along the base of his back, it looks like someone used a knife to pull his cheeks open like they were underwear and shoved 9 month old fetus in there and then sewed him back up.

READ

Normals or mens boring in the bed or not filthy rich need not even try at all, I recognize this at the first two sentences.

No “boyfriend experience”, I can’t hold my straight face when mother say I love you, and definitely not for you.
And please no blow job, fucking, boring sex people, no standard rubbish.
The more extraordinary you the better.

Imagine me crying, sobbing, flaming, pleading, whining, yelling … allowed, ignored.
Imagine as a coronation you can rob me of my senses and put your headphones on my ears …
Imagine my arms fixed tight to the body, feet tight, legs, all them fastened with ropes or armor, tape wrapped all of me, just 1 tiny pin hole by nose for breathe and I can not move a milimeter … creepy!

Honesty is rewarded. Since last Friday under the proof, is: HIV POSITIVE!
I have always watched I’ve never had without sex rubber, I can not explain but somehow it also probably one itself ..

If you are not afraid of me, you will write down small scenarios …

Justin_is_not_in_love, 19
Bronx

I’m a single boy with no partner offering my cute, smooth, tasty young ass for rimming. If you want to know why, it’s an interesting story!

I noticed a time ago that everybody I had sex with spent most of the time rimming me. At first I thought it was kind of weird but after a while I got totally addicted to it!

Then I realized one day that it didn’t even really matter to me what the guys who rimmed me looked like, so I started having sex with pretty much any gay who didn’t stink, even really old guys who were actually the best at rimming I guess because they were so grateful!

A couple of the old guys offered money to rim me which at the time was unnecessary but then I realized I could charge gays to rim and me and make an income doing what I love. And here I am!

I almost forgot, yes, you can use your fingers and small dildos to help rim me more deeply. In fact if you only want to kiss my asshole like it’s a tattoo of an asshole, you can do that but I will feel insulted!

Thursdayyy, 19
Sneads

Openly speaking to the public is honestly not my forte, and those who boast of themselves as being something or someone they are not in their introduction is extremely unbecoming. People can be whoever or whatever they choose in their minds I suppose, but know that in my eyes it makes you no more enlightened or special than the next person on this earth. This displaying of people’s “pompous sovereignty” is not impressive or intimidating, it is merely a pathetic cry for attention. So please do not attempt that approach with me, it will get you nowhere. Also, I have a boyfriend and we are soul mates, we are madly in love, and are happily living together. I am letting this be known now, because neither he nor I will tolerate romantic behavior from you towards me in the slightest bit, so please have some respect and dignity for both of us as well as yourselves. Now, I’m sure you want to know what everyone else seems to want to know about escorts, and that is “are you a slut?” The answer is quite simple, “no, I am not a slut.” Sorry if that is a disappointment but I’m simply not a slut or any other mythical creature for that matter. Nor do I try to be, I have no desire to be a slut. I find that being a simple mortal human being with normal needs for sex and money provides me with all the capabilities and power I will ever need. This does not mean the topic of sluts does not interest me, because it does as most other alternative aspects of sex, I just simply do not believe that “the slut” is real outside of myth. My personal life outside of the sex act is not up for discussion. If you wish to know what I look like, then look at my photos. If you wish to know my sexual interests, then review my stats. If you want to know my age, look at what I wrote. If you want to know what is going on in my head when I have an orgasm with you, that’s none of your business at all and I do not care to talk about it. Not trying to sound rude, but that’s just how I am when it comes to such personal topics. Why you ask? Well, to put it simply in the words of H. P. Lovecraft, “Throw a stick, and the servile dog wheezes and pants and stumbles to bring it to you. Do the same before a cat, and he will eye you with coolly polite and somewhat bored amusement. And just as inferior people prefer the inferior animal which scampers excitedly because someone else wants something, so do superior people respect the superior animal which lives its own life and knows that the puerile stick-throwings of alien bipeds are none of its business and beneath its notice. The dog barks and begs and tumbles to amuse you when you crack the whip. That pleases a meekness-loving peasant who relishes a stimulus to his self importance. The cat, on the other hand, charms you into playing for its benefit when it wishes to be amused; making you rush about the room with a paper on a string when it feels like exercise, but refusing all your attempts to make it play when it is not in the humour. That is personality and individuality and self-respect — the calm mastery of a being whose life is its own and not yours — and the superior person recognises and appreciates this because he too is a free soul whose position is assured, and whose only law is his own heritage and aesthetic sense. It is good to be a cynic — it is better to be a contented cat — and it is best not to exist at all.” I am a very reserved person, meaning I do not make sounds during sex, so please do not expect it of me. Actually, do not expect me to say thank you or to bend to your will at all! So with all that being said, either kick back and enjoy my profile then hire me or leave peacefully, but refrain from stirring up trouble by saying you will hire me because MY profile is to YOUR liking when you don’t have the money. Please when I enter pay me the full amount I asked and I will return the favor by getting rapidly undressed. Well, I believe I have told you all you need to know about me here.

literally just signed up an hour ago. i just developed interest because of how my deceased partner made me feel. i said this to a man and he told me to add it to my profile: i’m told i’m kind of retarded and wishy-washy so i’m not very good at answering open questions like that i guess. i am just learning that its okay to be retarded and to accept it as who i am.

WildCrow – Feb 9, 2017
I had this boy earlier tonight. I wouldn’t say he’s retarded, other than perhaps in the schoolyard sense, but he is very giggly, mindless, a very, very airheaded kid. This reference will date me, but he reminded uncannily of how Goldie Hawn used to act on the TV show ‘Laugh In’.

Risky – Feb 6, 2017
Anyone online? I’m a 46 year old man in a hotel room with this boy and I’m really interested in fisting him, but I think I’ll need a second man to persuade him.

Exit66, 20
Sao Paolo

I hate the humanity.

I do have some anger issues if youre willing to work with that. I usually let it out during sex, so thats a plus.

Like: suicide videos
Dislikes: humanity
Favorite music: Deathbeds

Question is in your hand. I go for it.

Don’t ask me after sex if I liked it. I’m escort and I won’t give that information.

Don’t ask me if your butt looks fat, because I’ll say it does.

Dark_Lounge, 19
Hamburg

I’​m “sometimes like a geisha” but not quite, sometimes want spree sometimes want party but what I seek is for a wealthy man, sometimes married, who have the means to support major expenses related to traditional eating, dressing and other costs.

However if that man will try to get me crazy in sex I did not agree because all I want is to make an alliance with those who care about me.

After I say yes to someone I commit to it until he ends it or dies.

5’11”, 20-year-old Polish boy completely owned by a 48-year-old German pimp, long story.

We’re really here only sizing up the market at this time, but my pimp will soon begin a search for paying customers. He says a pretty slut like me should earn a lot.

He will answer all email and make all the arrangements. I do EVERYTHING my pimp tells me to do even though he is a lying cunt.

I don’t mind doing this if you’re the kind of customer who cares if I mind.

I’m in a committed long-term loving relationship with my partner. However he’s recently opened up the relationship for me, so I can experience the tons of sex that he isn’t as fanatical about having as me, which is awesome!

I’m into getting anal. I’m not into getting it from overweight (sorry, just can’t get it up). I’m awfully good looking (ask anyone) and looking for the same. Please be.

Honestly I’d be happy if you just pulled my pants down and gave me anal (and cash) and nothing else for hours on end! But I would like to do kissing (esp as my partner won’t do that either).

My services are verbal and psychological only. I seek men who’ll pay to strip me naked in front of their friends, put a dildo in my butt, call me a faggot and make me jerk my cock till I embarrassingly shoot a load in front of everybody. I love shame. Also I’m pretty obsessed with white guys. Also it’ll be great if you own a dog because I like fluffy things. Also really into food, I work in a restaurant.

im not the average escort on here in my personal life im hetrosexual but found myself escorting for men after i found out that women dont pay for sex when i put myself on a straight escort site i only got contacted by men. many men have told me that i provide a more enjoyable service because im straight other people are like wtf however i dont care. the best feeling in the world is when i act like a fag there is this inner voice screaming at me i dont have many friends anymore probably because of the way i have chosen. throat fuck me until i puke.

p.s. Hey. ** H, Good morning! Thanks, yes, ‘TMoD’ is a beauty, and wonderfully short too. Thank you for your support about the apartment search. I found a place yesterday that I really like and have applied for, but whether the owner will agree given my unconventional circumstances, we will see. ** Dóra Grőber, Hi! Yes, of course, as soon I know more about the Biennale, I will let you know. Diploma in the drawer, yeah, that’s what I think I would do too. I’m so pleased to hear that you’re going to concentrate on your writing! That’s music to my ears, as they say, although I guess technically it’s music to my eyes. Have you found some suitable journals and places to submit to? Me? Well, let’s see … technically, I started when I got a gig writing record reviews for a local newspaper when I was in high school, but that didn’t really go anywhere. Otherwise, I started by trying to get my poetry published because, at that time, in the 70s, I was mostly successful at writing poetry. I think I just went to bookstores and looked at literary magazines, and found ones I liked and then submitted poems to them, about 98% of which were rejected for a while. I also self-published a book of my poems in 1973 and sent it to writers I liked and snuck it into bookstores and put a tiny ad for it in a couple of places. My real success started happening after I started putting out my little literary magazine Little Caesar because people started to know of me because of that, and that made my poems more wanted. And then I started writing journalism and art/music reviews because I was a little known through my poems and Little Caesar, so places asked me if I wanted to. So I guess it was a combination of things. I’m good, thanks. I found an apartment that I like yesterday, but I have no idea if my application will be accepted, and I waiting to hear very nervously. You have a great day! Did you? ** David Ehrenstein, Hi. Well, you know me: I don’t care one little bit that she didn’t talk about her same sex dalliances. Her decision. Happy belated Valentines Day to you. ** Sypha, Hi. I’m that way about ‘The Motion of Light and Water’. I barely remember a thing about it. I sort of remember thinking ‘why am I supposed to care about any of this’, but I didn’t know his work when I read it. It was the first book of his that I read. ** Cal Graves, Hi, Cal! How great to see you, man! Yeah I can totally see how ‘TMoD’ would suit those states. I’m going to try that the next time I’m moody/flummoxed. Other Duras? Well, some of the other of her novels that I personally like especially would be, hm, ‘The Ravishing of Lol Stein’, ‘L’Amante Anglaise’, ‘Destroy, She Said’, ‘Moderato Cantabile’. Oh, I would seriously love a guest-post from you, if doing that interests you and if you don’t mind. That would be great! Thank you for the very kind offer. I hope everything is going super well with you. Is it? Equally warmly, Dennis. ** Steevee, Hi. It’s weird but, at the same time, extremely not surprising that the homocons fantasized while reading what you wrote. Reality detachment seems to be at the very core of what conservatism constitutes these days. Very glad that the rally got some good coverage, of course. ** Jamie, Whoa, that’s a nice, fancy, complicated moniker, thanks. It sounds sort of ‘Star Wars’ character-ish to me, but, me being your basic know-little about ‘Star Wars’, I might be outing myself as someone with bad nerd credentials. As I told someone, I found an apartment I like yesterday. I applied. I’m anxiously hoping the owner doesn’t think my situation is too unusual and complicated. Hopes are not high, but hope exists. ‘All That Heaven Allows’ is a good one. He has really good titles a lot of the time. I honestly think his titles are part of why his work seems special in the way it does. I don’t know ‘Valley of Love’, but if John W. loves it, there’s definitely something there. Valentines Day is sort of vaguely practiced in France, I would say. I honestly forgot it was VD until last night when a friend sent me a Valentines selfie. I think for the Paris reading, I’ll probably read my poetry. I haven’t read my poems in ages, and I haven’t done a proper reading in a long time, and I’ve found reading my poems aloud to be the easiest way to read successfully, so I think I’ll do that, but I’m not completely sure. I always dread doing readings before they happen. And going on book tours where you have to read from from your new book constantly in the middle of noisy bookstores is one of my ideas of hell. And I would say about 75% of the time, I feel like the reading was a failure afterwards, it just depresses me. But every once in while something clicks and I feel like the reading was really good. So I’m aiming for that in Paris, obviously. That top photo of Nara Dreamland was amazing. I grabbed it, and I keep looking at it. The latest promise from ARTE is that they will give us the word by the end of February, but my breath is not being held. Love that looks and tastes like this, Dennis ** _Black_Acrylic, Hi, Ben. Happy that you’re a fellow lover of that book. Oh, I recommended some other Duras novels I like to Cal Graves up above, if you don’t scrolling backwards an inch or two. Good morning! ** Jeff J, Hi, Jeff. Both of those Duras you have are really good, and I especially like ‘Amant Anglaise’. Oh, jeez, so sorry that the plague did hit you with its might. Do what it takes to X it out. Ah, Justin Taylor! I haven’t talked to him in ages. How nice. I miss him. Sorry I didn’t write to you yesterday as planned. The day got hectic vis-a-vis apartment hunting and film stuff. I’ll write today. Feel better! ** William, Hi, Will. Thank you for thinking of me and for stopping by. I’m doing quite well for the most part, and I hope you are too. ** Right. It’s the middle of the month, and that always means what you already know (and see) it means, and do try to have fun with the fellas. See you tomorrow.

    Hi!

    Thank you so much for your long answer! It’s both really inspiring and reassuring to know that you started out with submitting to literary journals and that it wasn’t a complete, fantastic success at the very beginning because I usually get refused, too. I’m also thrilled about the idea of a literary magazine. I’ve been for a while and reading about Little Caesar gave me another push! And to answer your question: I think I did find a few journals I like so I’ll submit a few of my pieces! I’ll tell you about the outcome if and when it happens! Thank you again for your help!
    I hope they’ll accept your application and the apartment will be yours! Did they contact you? I keep my fingers extremely crossed!!
    I have to go to the capital city today to run a few errands but other than that nothing too special is going on. As always, I really enjoyed the boys so thank you for them!!
    I hope you have a lovely day! How was it?

    “I am letting this be known now, because neither he nor I will tolerate romantic behavior from you towards me in the slightest bit, so please have some respect and dignity for both of us as well as yourselves. ”

    Well that settles that!

    Hey Dennis! Fingers and toes crossed about the apartment. When will you hear?
    I like SilentEscort’s turn of phrase, especially, “Not much for writing a book, when I say I’m coming I am.” And GreenLight’s my favourite. Thanks for these guys.
    Moniker is a really good word.
    Totally with Douglas Sirk and the titles. I don’t quite get how that title pertains to the movie, but I like that and I like mulling it over.
    Nice that you’re thinking about reading some of your poetry at the reading. I sometimes find authors reading their own work funny, like they’re the last person that should be reading it, for some reason, but I’ve seen you do one online that I thought was really amazing.
    Dang, those TV people. Not nice to leave people dangling so long. I hope they return to you with a positive word very soon.
    How was Wednesday? Hope it was a good one.
    That was some impressive love you sent yesterday, btw! Thanks. I’ll send you love that looks and feels like this…..

    Dennis, I do get the sense at times that Delany does have a heightened sense of self-importance, though I would at the same time say there’s something oddly enduring about it. Right now in his journals I’m at a point where, when at the age of 19, he gives a long list of everything he’s written up to that point in his life (essentially 8 novels, a dozen short stories, tons of poems, 3-4 plays, and two opera librettis), followed by imaginary blurbs for each of the aforementioned novels (none of which had been published), saying things like “It is perhaps the greatest and most effective delineation of the horror that is adolescence ever written.” Then again, I used to write fake blurbs and critical praise for my unpublished books back in high school/college as well, so I can’t really throw stones here, ha ha.

    Hi Dennis,

    I’m glad you found the place you love. I hope that owner will make a wise decision soon. Fingers crossed.

    Thursdayyy wrote a long profile. Wow.

    I don’t know there’s a local thing in New York. For some reason, I’ve been avoiding most of contact from people I meet with here. There’s something unnecessarily militant about people here.

    I’d like to hope that some subtlety is still possible in political discourse, that it’s possible to talk without having to state one’s ideological position first and that it would be obvious where I’m coming from based on what I say. In Trump-era social media, these notions are probably utopian.

    But at least my psychiatrist mentioned A Tribe Called Quest’s Grammy performance of “We the People,” my favorite anti-Trump song!

    Speaking of which, he said that if I quit Zyprexa now, the withdrawal symptoms would be worse than anything I’ve experienced so far. He wants me to stay at the current dose (the lowest possible in prescription form) for another few months so my body is adjusted to it. At least I’m no longer experiencing the constant munchies and desire to sleep all day that I felt at higher doses.

      steevee, I know that a lot of anti-depressants, when you quit them cold turkey, can have a rebound effect where the original symptoms come back several-fold. IOW, I think your doctor’s right about that.

    Thursdayyy’s profile is pushing things to the very limit of TL;DR but hey, I’m sure his mother loves him.

    Today was a day off and I was through in nearby Broughty Ferry for another of those art therapy events the MS Society put on last year. What with work commitments I can’t do it every time but always enjoy it when I can. I find it’s good for the soul to just sit and make a few marks on paper once in a while.

  8. Misanthrope

    Dennis, Oh, yes, I know that. But hell, I’d like to recognize at least one of those bands! 😀

    I kind of think of those photos of former crime/murder scenes as the white space you’ll see on a page in a novel. A properly executed bit of white space. Or when you say so much by not saying anything. That thud.

    Kind of like how Irving, in “The World According to Garp,” never mentions the son who died after he dies. Chilling.

    So I went to the eye doc today. I’ve been seeing white flashes out of the bottom of my left eye for a week and a half. That suggests a retinal tear or detachment. But nope…luckily, I’m just getting older. It’s very common, actually, as the vitreous fluid or jelly loosens inside the eyeball and swishes around as we age.

    I’m badly in need of some charm today, so this is much appreciated, Dennis!

    Some of this charming lineup may get folded into a new piece I’m building, in the spare moments I have. It’s a much needed distraction from all the sourness around at the moment.
