I too have seen Xmas decorations in some stores since late August/early September. It's insane. I love Christmas, and absolutely wonderful time of the year. But it's meaning (even if you aren't religious) has been totally lost to the crassest commercialism. There should be a rule: don't wear white after labour day, and no Christmas decorations until December 1st. Porthos

Shoes are even more amazing when attached to an amazing set of legs.

But Dorinda, Cristy, and Jhena Gray seem to be doing just fine sandwiched together. Oh to be in that room.

I'd spend 3000 - 5000 on camera equipment ... at least one big ass telephoto lens. The rest on travel, hopefully with a lady for company. Porthos

What excites me before a first encounter ... everything about it. Anticipating meeting, the first glance as the door opens, a hug, a smile, the first kiss. Finding out more about the person behind the pictures ... and of course, the bedroom! Porthos

Welcome ... looking forward to your contributions Porthos

This could go in the fripple thread, or even the alluring eyes thread. But she has such gorgeous breasts I thought this should be the place!

I think there are lots of us on here who are looking for very different things. I personally want sexual gratification, but with the intimacy of a longer encounter. But that's me. I can certainly understand the thrill of the quick session. As long as you treat the lady well, no worries as far as I'm concerned. Porthos

The sun has managed to peek out, so the BBQ is on. Tonight, BBQ pork tenderloin with a mixed pepper rub, mashed potatoes, green salad and grilled asparagus.

Good taste ... Veronica Lake was gorgeous:

Top of the morning to you capitalman. Hope you have a great b-day! Porthos

weekend's gone, still not caught up. Which means Monday will just push me further behind. Porthos

I'm not ... I already have enough feelings of inadequacy, why make it worse! :icon_wink:

In Europe Rome and Venice. I'd really like to see Iceland. I'd also like to head south to Costa Rica (mainly for an eco-trip, but possibly for other reasons as well).

It certainly does sound like fun!

Part of the difficulty, it seems to me, is that the same words are used to apply to a vast range of different sections of the sex industry. Certainly, prostitute is likely the correct term. But the notion of escorts and call-girls developed to differentiate different parts of the industry. Street workers as opposed to women who worked in a brothel or those working independently (or for an agency) and "on-call". The industry is highly stratified and we understand that. I don't have any problem with words like prostitute or whore. But in some ways those words don't really capture the women I see. Likely because those words, through social and media usage, developed too many negative connotations. Women are "forced" into prostitution, prostitutes are linked to pimps, human trafficking, etc., etc. I realize that these are overly broad stereotypes, but they also do capture the reality of some women's experiences. I think it's great when people reclaim terms that have been stigmatized, and wear those terms with pride. But it does seem to me the terms in this business also have a lot to do with marketing and positioning of oneself within the industry. To paraphrase my good friend RG ... just a bit of a ramble on a Sunday night. Porthos

Happy Birthday ... hope you get to enjoy a bevy of beautiful cowgirls

I missed this one last month ... clearly I've been working too hard. Congrats Cato ... so richly deserved. Porthos
