  1. we’re all different, and while i think there are things we could do to increase our ability to perform, i also think it’s worth your time to learn to accept who you are and how you operate. i’m in my 40s and i would say that i haven’t experienced a decrease in my sexual energy but i do know that some days i have less energy and some days i have more - i try to remind myself i’m not a machine and i’m allowed to have ups and downs so are you!
  2. I'm so sad to hear this news. I think of all the people I've met and conversations and adventures I've had and smiles that have been put on my face as a consequence of me being on this site and I'm truly, truly grateul. I imagine we all are, and I hope that Daddy understood he wasn't just running a website, but rather holding a space for our community. Rest easy, Daddy xo
  3. i've noticed a lot of studio sites have been "revisiting" stuff from the past or releasing stuff that didn't make it before. for the straight porn sites i patronize, that change started in june-ish. i'm not sure about when those kinds of changes happened to gay sites as i'm speaking with second-hand knowledge on that. i've not heard much from the OF etc guys that i know, but if i had to bet, i would say that sales for them are flat and if they're not., they're +/- 10% from what they were before. i'm saying this because i notice three things: there are subjectively more folks doing OF thereby further diluting the market; there are more sales and special offeres suggesting that there's a need to entice subscribers; and many of these folks have relied on couples, threesomes, etc that are not always a possibility right now, and would need to either shift their focus to more solo stuff, slow down their posting (assuming they had a backup of content), revisit unreleased stuff, or stop producing and then this whole theory might be blown out of the water when i admit i have more OF subs (2) than i ever have before, but you know me and forearms ... and to respond to @Daverwr - as a site owner myself, i can say that you're probably not going to find anyone giving you numbers. i know that after i pay my billing company, the credit card company, and taxes, that i keep about 60% of what someone pays for a subscription. i'm not sure what the OF % is but you can find that out easliy by looking at their site.
  4. i might be alone here, but don't use the RM messenger. it's not that great on our end and doesn't provide any added benefit, and it's just one more place we have to look and keep track of what's going on - on top of messages on RM, text messages, emails, messages here, messages on social media, it's just one more thing and one more way to get your message lost. stick with text messages or email.
  5. it was about 3-4 years ago, during the summer. it was stupid and totally chilled my desire to plan or be a part of NYC events. the PS event is lovely, but i probably wouldn't go near an NYC gathering.
  6. you know, a while back i suggested the idea of an NYC get together that blew up into such a bitch fight it had to be shut down. now, i mention a podcast that i thought was a good listen and some of you are doing the same fucking thing. WTF??
  7. if you haven't heard it, look up the podcast "missing richard simmons" - it's only 8 parts or so, and it's FASCINATING basically the guy who narrates it was a fan and friend, and is trying to figure out why richard simmons abruptly disappeared from public life
  8. wow ... thanks for the birthday wishes, everyone! fortunatly, i'm safe and healthy and staying inside as much as possible. so far, i'm having a great birthday and definitely looking forward to being able to see other people soon!! until then, i'll keep blowing up twitter! as some of you know, my husband is a doctor and he works for a city hospital. because he's mostly in outpatient and academia, he hasn't had to be on the front lines much yet - they've been working on making sure everyone in the community is stable - but he's going to be starting on the hospital side of things tomorrow, working with covid patients on overnight shifts. i hope everyone is safe and healthy. these are uncertain times and this is a life-changing event, but at least we have each other!
  9. this brought tears to my eyes. thank you for your humanity - for being that person for that woman, and for being that person for us. this is a painful time, and in telling us what your day was like, you allow us to be part of your support system and you lend a face to this crisis which (fortunately) remains out of sight for most of us right now.
  10. are they not even offering to hold your money as credit towards a future stay? i mean, i understand "sharing the risk" but i also understand "bad business"
  11. hey fellas - i hope everyone is staying safe! i know there's a lot of uncertainty right now in general, and regarding the PS trip specifically. reading all of your responses reminded me of something: you can purchase an annual trip insurance policy. you might have seen when you book train tickets or plane tickets that you get offered an insurance plan, usually underwritten by allianz. the rates are not so bad, but if travel a lot, you might want to consider an annual plan from allianz. they have a few plans, but i know insuring one person (me, at 41 and living in NY) is about 125/yr. they do have plans to cover your household if you're partnered/married/have kids, and they do offer rental car plans as well (though you can't use them if you're a resident of NY - i'm not sure about other states). if you don't travel so much or an annual plan is not for you, they also offer per-trip plans and per-rental plans for cars. i would recommend NOT accepting the insurance offer that you get when you buy tickets, and instead go directly to allanz and purchase an insurance plan for your trip. it's the same plan you would have gotten, typically at a more reasonable rate.
  12. thank you so much for the kind words and letting me know i'll be missed - it means a lot to me! my plan is to be back in 2021, it's just time for me to do something different this year! i have cancelled my room and it may not be too late to grab it if you need it. i do request that on april 20th, for anyone so inclined, that you smoke some of that legal weed and think of me - alternately, you can think of me whenever you need to get off seriously, boys - enjoy and be safe and be really fucking kind to @Oliver - that man is a gift and these events wouldn't happen without him!
  13. hey fellas - i won't be attending the events this year - before i left last year, i booked a room at inndulge in the event i did choose to attend, and i'm going to be cancelling the reservation soon. if someone is still looking for a room, i'm happy to either advise you when i'm going to cancel so you can call and get the room, or (if possible) even transfer the reservation to your name. i'm not 100% certain but i believe i had the room from thursday april 16th, departing on tuesday the 21st - please feel free to send a DM if this is of interest to you. i'll wait until monday to cancel in the event anyone wants this, and offer it on a first-come-first-served basis!
  14. i haven't done long distance in a long time, but hey - why not?! ok, i'll date you, beautiful man!
  15. it's definitely not tax-free. there's no way that all those credit card transactions are happening and the owners of OF/JFF are taking in that amount of money and nobody thinks about the performers. if a performer isn't paying taxes on something so easy to track and document, they're dumb - and looking for trouble. also, i highly doubt that many of these guys are actually making a decent amount of money - if they were, they wouldn't constantly be putting their services on sale. on a daily basis, i see someone else who is supposedly "doing well" begging folks to join their half-priced OF.
