Barcelona

Please say Hello 🙂 i’m looking to meet the rich man of my kinky dreams.

i’m a total geek, nerd, perv, soft boy, a little bit dunce and a kinky romantic at heart. Love hitting the gym, going dancing, seeing a movie, reading (sci-fi, fantasy, comics), porn, making out, romance, cooking, gardening, getting fucked, being manhandled, agressive affection, cumplay, slutty clothes, spanking, sweat, toys, threesomes, camping, hiking and a bunch more.

Jeff Bezos in black leather makes me want to jizz.

I’ve been on the Forbes list of the world’s wealthiest men three times and I want to fuck you so bad that you won’t be able to remember your own name, I want to grab your head and force you down to choke on my cock until you practically die.

Nichol – June 11, 2024
I “dated” him for a while this past winter.
Starting on the first day I couldn’t stop sucking him.
3 or 4 times a day.
I don’t know it was the cum or the cock it came out of that was so addictive.

mothtoaflame (Owner) – June 9, 2024
To address a question that is often asked, yes, I had a health issue when I was younger, which is why my body is completely devoid of any hair.

I_NeedIt – June 9, 2024
Thanks for agreeing to lend me your ass for an hour and good luck on your search!

I have a juicy mouth you can vacuum with your mouth.
I welcome you to use me with carnal fervor at great length.
I am chems over friendly and totally willing to do any sexual pose.
I like big black dick, big white dick, big Latino dick, but not big Asian dick.
I can meet with you with 30 minutes notice day and night.

I have a special fetish in that I like to share escort boys with my dog. I did not tell Danny before the appointment that I have this fetish. Danny handled this well and did not make it a problem. My dog and I both enjoyed Danny thoroughly. In fact, my dog had a strong lust for Danny that I’ve never seen before. We had him for three very hot hours and it wasn’t nearly enough. And judging by my dog’s whining, the same applies to him.

DANNYHOTT (Owner) – June 3, 2024
I am very very sexyyy.

brussels274 – June 3, 2024
Waouh! Such fucking time that I spent with Danny yesterday. Whaouuuuuuh! This boy is incredible fucking slut, so fucking hot body, like porno movie. His tiny dump Appartement is the perfect setting for an intense hard moment of pleasure like in hell. Nice face, perfect ass, more than perfect, the most perfect ass, I have never seen so perfect ass before, it makes you melt like ice in the sun, you kill me.

Hot_Boy99, 21
Zurich

To be honest, prostitution has interested me for quite some time now, but I wanted to collect more information before labelling myself (that label as you can see is prostitute) and deciding whether to dedicate myself to this lifestyle. I have been reading about other people’s experiences for months during which the idea that this is the lifestyle for me has been reinforced multiple times. Having recently moved to Zurich, I believe it is finally time. The confidence I was looking for just arrived.

I have little preference for individual sex acts (would feel a bit uncouth listing them here anyway), and am much more intrigued by the overarching idea of transforming into what a purchaser believes the best version of me is, or the kind of sex partner he would prefer me to become.

If you have insight about any of this or if any of my responses appear sloppy or my behaviour is inappropriate, do not hesitate to call me out on it. I will appreciate the feedback and constructive criticism. I currently live in Zurich, so I’m therefore looking for purchasers from here. That said, if you happen to live elsewhere, say France (considering I speak the language a bit) feel free to invite me over. I am genuinely eager to explore the opportunities that lie ahead.

Hi Moslems 😌

He should be active… come and put your cock in my sissy pussy until real smacking and fucking noises arise in my hole

SincerelyYours, 18
Macon

I’m looking for what people around here call a sugar daddy.
In my terminology I want a purchaser.
My optimal goal is to be owned and taken under full custody, physically, emotionally, psychologically, financially and socially.
I live with my family in a boring city in Georgia and I need to get out of here.
I’m cute according to most people but I have pimples and there’s nothing I can do about that.
I’m ok intelligent and play soccer and listen to the kind of music people my age listen to.
I’m more bisexual than gay but I’ll have sex with you, I don’t mind, no problem.
My parents like Trump but I don’t care either way.
You need to live in New York or Los Angeles or Europe or some place like that.
I’m sure if you offer enough money my parents will say yes, they’re obsessed with money.

I do like being outside, that’s why I often go for a walk, and I do like listening to music. I like calm music, because it helps me sort out the thoughts in my head, but I also like cheerful and energetic music. I also like to read, most of all I like reading books about detectives.

Marvin_zepp – June 5, 2024
He’s a sensitive boy who openly admits to being bi and joyfully embraces his uniqueness. He has a love for walking which helps him enjoy the beauty of nature and secluded corners of the city, where he can be himself without fear or prejudice. He has a dream to create his own perfume collection that reflects his personality and mood. He also likes music, his passion and spiritual comfort. He finds expression of his feelings and emotions in music, enjoying the sounds and melodies that fill his heart with joy and inspiration.

First his macho rather scary pimp showed up to collect the fee. Then he left and “Noah” walked in wearing loose blue jeans. He walked around looking at my bookshelves and DVD collection. He noticed the erection in my pants, turned to face me, dropped his jeans and underwear and kicked them off and sat on the couch with his legs spread and lifted to give me a full beaver shot. I got on my knees and feasted on everything in between those legs while he squinted and cringed until all of my juice came spraying out. Then he pulled up his jeans, said ‘God, I love my life’ and left.

Mickey6565 – June 8, 2024

Welcome to the Baxter Experience

A young guy passed out at a party at my place about three weeks ago and just never left. Most nights he drinks himself almost unconscious and passes out. His door is unlocked and I usually go in his room and fuck him while he’s sleeping. Let me know if you want in! I will give you the instruction to get the access card in the mailbox to pass the gate. All you need is to pay me before you go in his room. You can put the blindfold over his eyes if you’re scared he’s going to wake up, but he won’t.

p.ds. Hey. ** jay, Hi. Cool. Beautiful description and correlation. That wall/lawn anecdote conveyed lovely eeriness. Oh, I haven’t followed that case. I’ll catch up. The complication is alluring. Hm, sorry about the images. They seem fine on my end, but I don’t if my end is a good judge. I’m happy and lucky that the images caused you such a reverie. Thank you! ** Shirley, See, now, that’s a good celebrity encounter right there. My mysterious ones were not remotely as colorful. ** _Black_Acrylic, There’s another policeman photographer/artist who shot car wrecks?! What were the odds. I’ll look up his work. Interested to make a comparison. Gladio is Legowelt? Huh, okay, I can hear that. Really great stuff. ** T, Hi!!! Things are … best left unsaid, ha ha. Monday, wow. I can’t tell you how envious I am and how sure I am that you’re going to have the most amazing time in Japan. Oh, those books. The first one is ‘Tryptich’ by Claude Simon. I’m pretty sure the second one is probably ‘Neons’ by Denis Belloc. They’re both pretty hard to come by in English, but if you can do French, I think they’re probably still around. Your summer is going to rule! Mine will hopefully solve problems and stay non-scalding. I’ll settle for that. Yes, if you can’t check in from down there, hit here or me up the minute you’re back in P. Have the greatest time ever! xo. ** Jack Skelley, Hi. No, unfortunately, she was only here yesterday, and my yesterday was crazed, but I’ll hope to meet her in LA or somewhere. Everyone, If you’re in LA, living legend Jack Skelley is reading at an event tonight in your hood sponsored by LARB. Here’s the scoop. And he also reviewed a recent Kraftwerk gig, also via LARB, here. Ready to be lobbed at whenever. Have a great reading tonight. ox, sinneD. ** Cletus, Happy you liked it, and, sure, of course, on the words. ** Lucas, Hi Lucas. I tried to take a photo of the concert last night, but it was too dark and unshareable. But, yes, please don’t let that stop you. You’re right, it was pretty. And I actually like seeing the upper crust of the cars. ‘IStTVG’ is on my favored free streaming site. I think I really need to just go ahead and get that under my belt. I too really liked ‘…World’s Fair’, but my expectations are definitely lowered. I hear you about the trans specific art. I think I may have already mentioned this, sorry, but arguably the main character in Zac’s my new film, the son, is played by a trans actor. Thus far, not a single person who’s watched it and didn’t know that in advance had any idea that the actor is trans. Which was our hope/intention and the actor’s as well. So we’re really happy about that. Just to say there are other ways to make a point. Have a fantastic weekend. What happened? ** Dominik, Hi!!! That’s true, huh. I wonder how much the b&w itself has to do with that effect? Mini-series … now I’ll be avoiding ‘Eric’ like multiple plagues. Did … love … find … your bro’s … shades, dare I even ask? Love paying for everything in cash, G. ** Steve, So sorry about your dad, about the conversation at least. Unnerving. Wow, I will track down ‘Cinema Laika’. That sounds great, and of course I love Kaurismaki. Everyone, News/tip from Steve to those who feel appropriately targeted: ‘For Gregg Araki fans, his long-unavailable second feature THE LONG WEEKEND (O’ DESPAIR) recently started streaming through NYU’s website. The first hour is here, the last half hour here. ** Nasir, Hi. So far we have not gotten unpleasantly hot, but, being a logical person, I know we will, and I’m already scared. I’m a very good driver. I can honestly say that. I’ve only been in one car accident when I was driving a car in my whole life. And it wasn’t my fault. Yeah, I’m good. I’ll give you a spin and prove it someday. What about you? ** Don Waters, Hey, Don. Seemingly, yes. Why is a book of photographs of trees hit by cars so exciting? Because it is. To me. Wow. On it. Thanks! The vast majority of art writing I did was for art magazines, and art magazines’ decisions on what artists and shows they assign for articles and reviews are heavily influenced by whether they think said piece will generate advertising and consequent income, which kind of explains things maybe? Amazing that you can find time to work on your novel with that lifestyle. I don’t think I could. Heavy kudos and fan-based gratitude. I saw your email, and I’ll get to it soon. I’m very slow and always behind on email. It’s a weakness of mine. But I will! Greatest weekend to you and to your kiddos too. ** Harper, Hi, H. Well, good about the extension, at least. How you’re managing all of that while quitting smoking is almost beyond any comprehension, so good work and the swiftest resolution possible. And total luck re: your face to face with the landlord. As someone in a shitstorm of a kind myself, let’s see if we can get that luck boomeranging all over the place, shall we? ** Justin D, Hi, Justin. I’m chuffed you liked his stuff. The ‘in your honor’ aspect sounds very stressful, but I’m spotlight-phobic. Ideally, you were feted with the intended results. Take a bite of cake for me. And I think I’m diving into ‘..TV Glow’ this weekend too. Assuming I manage that, let’s tete-a-tete. Happy birthday from me, and, I think it’s safe to say, from the escorts especially!!!!! ** Uday, Hi. My first brush with death was being axed in the head. Top that. The blog is loading normally here, but I think your signal and server are the boss. Haha, it takes a lot for me to be exasperated or at least to display my exasperation, so that interview sounds like a collectable. I haven’t watched Lina Wertmuller’s films in decades, but, at the time, I didn’t think all that much of them, But who knows. She has her champions. Let me know what you think if you dig in. ** Oscar 🌀, I seriously would lose my mind in the good way if there were a bagpipe improvisation piece named after me, and, since you say there is, I take no responsibility for what my mind extrudes from this moment forward. Someone trying to please you by putting verbal emphasis on the ‘car’ part of your name rather than the usual ‘Os’ part when they greet you today. Unless you pronounce your name ‘Os-CAR’, in which case, the opposite. I know, ‘L:AUM’ is so huge. I agree. I don’t how I managed to actually read it. I really don’t. But I do remember it being so worth the time commitment. Even though that’s hard for me to believe. I did see that about the Keanu Reeves and China Miéville book, and I cannot begin to imagine that in the world that is going to be, which is exciting. I interviewed Keanu, and if he writes like he talks, it might be kind of beautiful if you like inarticulation, which I personally do. My weekend is a concert tonight and a film mess to negotiate and some work on the new script and maybe a pizza. What did your weekend do for you instead of rushing you? ** Bill, Hi. Yeah, right. I do know ‘Little Joe’, yes indeed. And I just, in fact, yesterday saw that about the ‘Little Joe’ book. And I have already ordered it since my ‘copies’ are long since lost. Ben Whishaw blurb?! I want one! ** Right. Escorts day falls on the weekend this month so you get to have them all to your imaginary selves for imaginary the weekend rate, which is, duh, free. See you on Monday.

Arnold Odermatt’s Car Wrecks *

* (restored)

 

‘Once upon a time, there was a Swiss policeman named Arnold Odermatt, whose photographs long went unnoticed, but who then achieved international recognition when the photographer himself was past retirement age. Born into a family of eleven children in the canton of Nidwalden in 1925 – his father was a forester – Arnold Odermatt initially apprenticed as a baker and pastry cook. He was forced to leave that profession, however, because of an allergy, and by chance he ended up joining the cantonal police, where he spent the next forty years. He was responsible in particular for road safety in this little canton isolated in the middle of Switzerland, hemmed in by the Alps and Lake Lucerne.

‘At the age of ten, Arnold Odermatt won a camera in a competition and taught himself how to use it, which grew into what can only be called a passion for photography. He took his twin-lens Rolleiflex with him wherever he went, photographing the people and landscapes of the region and later his wife and children. He also incorporated photography into his day-to-day work, using it to document traffic accidents, which were quite common at the time.

‘However, Odermatt’s hobby was met with indifference by those around him, and for fifty years he captured tens of thousands of images which, carefully stored and organized, languished in his attic, until one day in the early 1990s, his son, Urs Odermatt, himself a director and filmmaker, came upon them. The retired policeman’s photographs were published in a book edited by his son, and recognition for the work grew steadily. Exhibited in 1998 at police headquarters in Frankfurt am Main during the Frankfurt Book Fair, the black and white images of vehicles damaged in accidents caught the attention of the celebrated curator Harald Szeemann, who showed them at the Venice Biennale in 2001. From that point on, the Swiss policeman’s photographs were internationally acclaimed. Three books were published by Steidl, one of the most prominent publishers in the photography world, and his images were exhibited by numerous museums and galleries in Europe and the United States.

‘All of the prerequisites were in place for the creation of an ‘Odermatt legend’ that would be especially attractive to the contemporary art world. Like Eugène Atget, Jacques-Henri Lartigue, and Miroslav Tichý, Odermatt belongs to that special category of ‘outsiders’ discovered late in life, cut off from the art world and unconcerned with concepts or declarations of intent. As a figure of ‘artistic innocence,’ he compels us to question the shifting boundaries between art and non-art, between art and art brut or ‘outsider art.’ Arnold Odermatt’s work is difficult to categorize because it seems to include both applied professional photography when he is ‘on duty’ as well as amateur photography when he is ‘off duty.’ What is certain is that the power and originality of his images, in contrast with his complete absence of formal artistic training and his long isolation, problematize what may be called ‘artistic intention’ and its role in the quality of the images produced. Is a self-taught photographer with no formal training who has never called his images ‘art’ therefore devoid of Kunstwollen? Because it is so difficult to make assumptions about intentions that are not expressed as a conceptualized and verbalized desire to ‘make art,’ I will consider the unrecognized character of Arnold Odermatt’s practice, but will do so without using terms like ‘naïve’ or ‘outsider,’ which are too fraught with connotations and too reductive. In what follows, I will suggest that these belatedly recognized artists be referred to as unsanctioned artists (artistes non-homologués). This term is an indirect reference to one of Dubuffet’s earliest essays on art brut; it makes it possible to group together the various ‘irregular’6 practices by virtue of their contrast with official art world channels, without, however, stigmatizing them by setting up a dualism in which art is opposed to non-art. The term ‘sanction’ signals official recognition, but does it alter the nature of what it consecrates?

‘The contrast between images that satisfy the art world’s expectations in terms of their quality and a photographer who stubbornly refused to seek any kind of critical recognition for his work seems to endow Odermatt’s practice with an obvious appeal as something ‘instinctive’ and ‘authentic.’’ — Caroline Recher

Biography

 

‘Arnold Odermatt the Nidwalden Police in 1948. He was forced to give up his original career as a bakery and pastry chef on health grounds. As the policeman Arnold Odermatt first appeared with his Rolleiflex at the scene of an accident – to provide photos to complement the police report, people found this rather disconcerting. At that time, photography was anything other than an independent means of providing the police with evidence.

‘A colleague observed Arnold Odermatt as he took pictures for the force and was suspicious. He was ordered to report to his commander immediately. Odermatt managed to convince his superiors of the pioneering work he was doing. They allowed him to convert an old toilet in an observation post in Stans into a makeshift dark room. When the observation post was moved into another building several years later, Switzerland’s first police photographer was given his own laboratory.

‘Arnold Odermatt’s biggest role model was the famous Magnum photographer Werner Bischof. He met him once by chance, as he was on security duty on the Bürgenstock and wanted to photograph Charlie Chaplin. Odermatt’s own style was characterised by sobriety and authenticity. The spartan linguistic expression of his police reports can also be found in Odermatt’s images. His craftsmanship is beyond question, nothing of note is missed by his photographic eye. In KARAMBOLAGE, his most famous series of work, you can’t see the maimed victims but you do see the ethereal, surreal sculptures of scrap metal. With the softness and melancholy of Jacques Tati, he looks at the consequences of speed and the hectic nature of modern times.

‘For 40 years, Arnold Odermatt captured the daily work of the Nidwalden police force. It was only rarely that the local press, the court or an insurance company were interested in his photos. It was only when his son, the film and theatre director Urs Odermatt, showed the photos in for the first time at a solo exhibition in Frankfurt am Main that the art scene first became interested in his work. After the inspiring exhibition, the photo book Meine Welt followed. Suddenly the everyday observations from the central Swiss province had gained the same status as those of his well-travelled predecessor, Werner Bischof.

‘At an early stage in his police career, when Arnold used the camera to catalogue traffic accidents, this was a revolutionary innovation in the Swiss police. If Arnold Odermatt were to turn up at a crime scene with his camera today, he could expect to be told that photography was not for him, but was instead the job of a specially trained police photographer.’ — collaged

p.s. Hey. ** Steve Finbow, Hi, Steve! My great pleasure. Yes, next time you’re in Paris let’s meet, that would be great. ** Dominik, Hi!!! Ka-ching! I will report back from my zLib ‘shopping’ trip. I will avoid ‘Eric’ like the plague, thank you so much and condolences re: love’s fruitless 90 or so minutes spent thereby. Love getting in a car wreck and thinking ‘finally, I am art’ while he waits for the paramedics to arrive, G. ** Nasir, Hi, Nasir. Great to see you, pal. New? Mm  … slightly advanced versions of the same old thing probably. Changing, like, how? I hope it’s not as fatally hot where you are as I just read it is. ** _Black_Acrylic, Yep. Hey, dude, the new PTv2 was/is great through and through. I especially loved the Gladio, HYMN, and [grens] tracks. And the Noizeclot -> Deutsch Nepal ending was perfect. Thank you, maestro! Oh, I’ll search the news for how Scotland deals with Germany today hoping it’s a total devastation. ** James Bennett, Hi, James. Sorry about the blog’s inexplicable persnickety-ness. I’ve read Bassani’s ‘The Gold-rimmed Spectacles’, but I think that’s all. I liked it. I think doing whatever you want so you can get excited/curious again is the right approach. I try to save my grinding for the later editing part when cranking and maintaining objectivity is an easier combo. Yes, definitely on the Paris coffee. Do you have my email? It’s [email protected], and you can let me know there what your local schedule is when time is right. I am into Antonioni, yes. ‘L’aventura’, ‘Red Desert’, and ‘Blow Up’ are my favorites, I think. Thanks about the film woes, but I think I’m going to be stiuck with them for a while. Soldiering on. ** jay, Hi, Cool, glad the book looks good. No, I don’t think I know that UK serial murderer court case, but now I’m curious, of course. I think your boyfriend makes a lot of sense. I think the idea that being disgusted shows you have high morals is pretty bogus. ** Lucas, Hi, Lucas. That cake was god in a sugary form, seriously. I miss it. Again, you live in an awfully, awfully serenely attraction place. I’m without a reciprocal photo today, but I’ll take one of something potentially viewable+ today if it’s the last thing I do. Oh, god. what a bore, that yt opinionator. You can imagine what people assume about me even though my arrest record — growing marijuana in my backyard, unpaid parking tickets — indicates otherwise. Nice re: your half brother. I haven’t seen my half brother in years, but all he ever did was talk about American football and laugh a lot. Sorry for the excessive heat. I fear for us over here. Thursday was shitty, to be perfectly frank, but it’s over, and I’m going to see some live music and eat Ethiopian tonight, so all’s theoretically good. I hope your Friday is/was cool and breezy even if that’s artificially generated. ** Don Waters, Hi. Don. It’s amazing: Naoshima. Actually there are three art islands right next to each other. And you should go to Japan as soon as it’s possible. It’s an amazement of a place. ‘Short Letter, Long Farewell’ is a good one, or I sure thought so when I read it. Thanks for the fill-in about Iris Owens. I’m very intrigued. She should be fairly easy to find here, it sounds like. Awesome, dude. How did Friday treat you? ** Steve, We don’t have a documentary idea in mind although we talk about wanting to do one frequently. It’s also easier to get funding for documentaries over here for some reason. I haven’t hit download on zLib yet, but I don’t anticipate viruses unless it’s really changed, and, well, I guess it has. I’ll tiptoe, albeit with my fingertips. ** Harper, Hi, H. ILP is pretty stellar, yeah. Oh, right, toothpicks! I forgot how helpful they were. And mine weren’t even flavored. Toothpicks are undervalued. By me too, apparently. That’s so seriously stressful about your apartment situation. I mean, yeah, you will sort or tough it out and be fine, but the worrying in the meantime, Jesus. I wish I had more peace of mind to vibe onto you, but you can have my vestiges if vibes are real. ** Uday, Hi. I’ve heard of Anna’s Archive. I’ll check it out. It’s a membership site, I think? ‘Salo’ in middle school, whilst fever-ridden nonetheless: impressive. I’m a weirdo who doesn’t like that film. I know, I know. I think it’s silly. I know, I know. I actually possess a dry wit in person, or so people say. If so, I think it’s a lucky accident. Maybe a collected p.s. plus comments book? ** Dev, I will. I’m angled towards them. I’ve only seen ‘ST’, ‘Sunday in the Park with George’, and ‘Merrily We Roll Along’, and the last one only because an ex-boyfriend of mine starred in the original, doomed Broadway production of it, poor thing. I liked ‘SitPwG’. Sondheim was sitting near me when I saw it frantically talking notes. Well, I encourage you to finish that story, obviously. Think about it, or, wait, do more than think about it. ** 🐌Darby🐛, Who doesn’t? (Tons and tons of people). On second thought, I believe you about centi- and millipedes. I think one scared the shit out of me when I was, like, 3 years old. I need to unburden myself. Mechanics are cooler than pilots any old day, so, cool. Stylish in the sense that they make this bird who sometimes joins them and tries to imitate them look like a dork. I was kind of obsessed with Gacy’s last, Robert Piest. In fact, he has a small co-starring role in my novel ‘I Wished’ even. Never heard of Baraboo Bonebreaker, no. But I will endeavor to enlighten myself re: that. Thank you. I hope you really did wish me a goof weekend because that’s exactly the kind of weekend I want. And same to you! xo. ** Justin D, It does, right? And I have an actual copy, and it lives up in person. Early happy birthday! What are you going to do to make that day fun or less unfun than you expect? I hear you: I see my birthdays as just one more notch on my death sentence. I don’t think I ever watched any of those Brat Pack movies and yet I’m curious to watch that doc, and that seems weird, but I am. And I will. Yesterday sucked due the film producer shit, and Zac and I are troopers, but I think everything is going to suck kind of hard for at least weeks to come. Ah, life. But I’ll have fun. I’ll eat something chocolatey for your birthday for one thing. See, now that will help. Thank you for being born at this point in time. ** Shirley, That needs orchestral accompaniment if it doesn’t already have it. Mm, yes, I’ve had other friends who slept with famous people, and I’ve had famous friends who slept with non-famous people too. And I have slept with a famous person or two, but my lips are sealed. You? ** Oscar 🌀, I love being greeted by a high pitched scream, so thank you. I think it’s really a shame that dogs’ jaws and tongues are too rudimentarily designed to be able to pronounce the words ‘Hi Oscar’ because I have it on good authority that they really want to. Congrats to your grubby paws, speaking of dogs. I’ll resist the temptation to suggest that you start sleeping in bulletproof pajamas. No, I don’t think that’s weird. I myself can handle pretty much anything in books or movies, but, in real life, I can’t almost at all. Ecstatic Friday to you and to your newly enlightened bf too. ** Bill, Hi. She knew her shit, yep. ** Okay. Something came over me that caused me to restore this old post about a policeman whose photographs of the aftermaths of car crashes caused him to be considered an artist. See you tomorrow.
