Well said. I think part of it is a distinction (vague as it is) between "good" and "great" friends, and the very complex boundaries around very close friendships--and the real possibility that, given a sexual attraction and a shared, confidential intimacy, that it reaches into something...

I think it's often quite complicated. The boundaries around the business side of things may be straightforward enough at first, but what are the boundaries around friendship? It seems especially complicated when the business element is structured on and around desire, fantasy, and perhaps the...

I think I know exactly what you mean. Admittedly, for me it's a little bit of maturing and a little bit of aging. I now vastly prefer fewer but longer dates (2+ hours) with special girls; a bottle of champagne, maybe a suite at a hotel, and go deep rather than wide.

I get it--sounds like an amazing weekend. Honestly, at my age, I'd be exhausted with that schedule! This is kind of a gross story, but once when I was visiting Amsterdam I had budgeted something like $800 for a visit with a well-regarded indy--who cancelled on me at the last minute. So I headed...

Absolutely awesome that you have such a specific number (including passport renewal!). I once spent close to that much on a single night; that was not a good budget year.

Since I work on these ideas professionally, I do want to tweak this just a bit. I know this will be pedantic, but we might as well get our constitutional law right. In a sense, nothing is "in" the constitution until it is established by the Supreme Court; is it the court that decides what's in...

You know, it's great to be reminded that behind the posts are good people, even friends, even if they have different approaches to issues. It's easy to see posts as being anonymous, and even for us to hide behind that anonymity. Maybe someday I'll make it to a meet and greet and buy you and EB a...

These forums are places to pound the tables, not make compelling arguments, but it would still be helpful if we could be responsible in our conversation. Doc Holliday (who doesn't need me pointing this out) said that he didn't know a single person who would dream of moving to the States. He...

You're certainly right that laws can't stop everything but, as you point out, but they clearly help. Virtually every country that has enacted strict gun control has seen a reduction in gun violence. I find it utterly bizarre that some in this thread suggest that laws do nothing. By that logic...

Right. Literally ALL the evidence points to the same conclusion: better gun control = less gun violence. Among those who have looked at the data, there is no debate. The notion that somehow more guns will somehow lead to safety is not only nonsensical, it's contradicted by virtually every study...

Exactly. Gun control is obvious and every single bit of data supports that approach. (Hunters don't need the military-style assault weapons that are being used in these shootings.) But a more equitable distribution of wealth, more economic opportunities, and a more inclusive cultural philosophy...

There is only one answer to the extraordinary prevalence of gun violence, and we all know what it is. All serious studies arrive at the same conclusion, and there is no debate among those who have examined the statistics. The answer is both obvious and persuasive. We can dramatically reduce...

I like the notion that "PSE is a sport and GFE is an art." I think what you're saying is that the difference is primarily attitude, mood, and "vibe." I've had pretty much everything you mention under PSE in a "regular" or GFE session, sometimes with an extra charge negotiated (e.g., greek, but...

Can you show where you came up with the 90% number? And you say that they are "trained," implying military training. Any evidence of this? And where in the Quran is this refugee "deployment strategy" discussed? Lots of people in this thread sounding very confident about things which they seem...

Thanks, Adriana. That's what I assumed, but of course it's not a real definition. Since I won't ask an SP over email/phone if she does XYZ--and since most providers expressly don't want such questions--it leaves the category pretty vague. The only way to approach it, at least for me, would be to...

I know what the terms stand for and I have a general sense of how they differ--but, although I've enjoyed the hobby for more years than I can remember, I don't actually know what PSE is specifically code for. A few of the Montreal indies offer both GFE pricing and PSE pricing, often $100 more...

Thanks to both of you--very, very helpful. I will splurge for a good view and then settle in for a long if fast-paced ride. (Now that I think of it, that's pretty much how I hope to describe my post-game rendezvous with one of Montreal's wonderful escorts....)

Hi everyone. I'm sorry if this has been asked repeatedly but I can't find an answer via a search of this forum. I'd like to hit a Canadiens game the next time I'm in Montreal and I've never been to the Bell Center. I would appreciate some thoughts on the sight lines--what seats are the best...

I'm sorry if this is off topic, but why have the reviews become less reliable over the last few years (if they have)? In what ways are they more "managed"? Is there an increase in the number of reviews planted by agencies and providers? Is it because our MERB handles are less anonymous (as...
