In Looking for hotels for January, I booked something for the 1st night on Agoda and messaged the Venue to check rates for subsequent nights and they responded with this, which makes me feel better about going: Hi Robert. We are now a SHA Plus+ certified hotel and can be used for your first (and subsequent) night's stay. We are still waiting for the testing details from our partner hospital before we can finalise our package price. We hope to have this within the next couple of days. I will send this info to you as soon as we have it. We will always match or beat any price for staying with us that you are able to obtain elsewhere. When we receive the hospital partner details I will email you with the first night price and the price for subsequent nights. In Pattaya I like the Venue, Classroom Hotel, Ambiance and Agate.....I've stayed at a few others but these are the ones I'd return to.

From CNN The adventures of Boji, Istanbul’s traveling dog A street dog named Boji has become something of a celebrity in Istanbul, where he travels around the city on its ferries, trams and subway cars https://www.cnn.com/interactive/2021/10/travel/dog-istanbul-boji-cnnphotos/

Strictly Come Dancing viewers were moved to “tears” on Saturday (6 November), after a “spellbinding” and sensual rumba from Johannes Radebe and John Whaite. The show’s first-ever male same-sex dance partners performed the rumba to “Shape of My Heart” by Sting, and came in third, scoring 35 points out of a possible 40. Viewers were overwhelmed with emotion after the performance, and many revealed that they had broken down in tears. One wrote: “In tears watching Johannes and John. I bloomin’ hate the rhumba but the fact that two gay men are dancing this together on prime time Saturday night BBC is everything.” Lib Dem councillor Mathew Hulbert added: “Tears. Couldn’t take my eyes off John and Johannes during that dance. Beautiful. “They may not know just how much seeing them dance together means to so many.” While Whaite and Radebe having been blowing fans away since they first stepped onto the Strictly dance floor in September, many declared that the rumba was their best performance yet because of its sensuality and raw emotion.

Have you ever wanted to visit a place with all the conveniences of a city, but also has the friendliness of small town life? Would you like to be able to practice your high school French without having to deal with the horror that is the French people? Or, maybe you want to go to a hot gay scene before every other cock on your block? If so, you'll simply adore Brussels, Belgium the capital of the European Union and the headquarters of a growing gay scene! For years, Brussels was off the gaydar mainly because it was very hard to get to. Over the past decade, however, low cost airlines have started offering cheap flights to the city from London - and ever since then the gay scene has started to explode! You'll find a thriving gay community, never-ending circuit parties, and tons of museums and architecture to satisfy all of your cultural cravings. Belgians are some of the friendliest people in the world, and Brussels has yet to be overwhelmed by tourists, so you'll be welcomed with open arms and not have to waste too much time dodging tourist traps or souvenir stores. Instead, you can just check out the multiple cruising areas, explore the ever-expanding gay bar scene, and take pictures of one of the most famous and fabulously naughty fountains in the entire world. And, you'll have the chance to eat the best French fries in the world which, contrary to popular opinion, were actually invented in Brussels! Marche Au Charbon The Gay Neighborhood! The heart of the Brussels gay scene is the Marche Au Charbon section of the city. Here you'll find more than a dozen gay bars and clubs spread out over a two or three block area. Almost all of them stock up-to-date gay maps to the city, so you can find all the sexy saunas and gyms you'll need. There are several sex shops in the Marche Au Charbon area so you can have fun even if you left your sex toys at home! The first place to stop in the Marche Au Charbon is Tels Quels a gay cafe that is also home to the Belgium International Gay And Lesbian Association. The English-speaking staff can get you up to date on anything and everything fagulous going on in the Brussels gay scene and let you know about any upcoming gay friendly events and activities. Unlike America, most of the gay bars and clubs in Belgium have a strict men-only policy so leave your fag hag at home, just bring your bone! The Slave is one of the sleaziest hardcore leather bars in the world it has several dark rooms that are constantly filled with some of the roughest trade you'll find anywhere.

Once a month, several of the gay clubs get together and hold a festival called La Demence that brings in international DJs, hot male strippers, and drag queens from around the world for an all-night dance party. Cruising In Brussels For those of you who like a little bit of risk when it comes to your man conquests, you'll find that Brussels is a cruising haven. Because most of the gay bars and clubs have been around for a decade or less, the Belgian boys had a need to find other places to blow their seed. The result is a wide variety of cruising spots that seem popular 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The raunchiest is the Orly Cinema right by the railroad tracks. This is a combination sauna and movie theater, with more than a dozen glory holes and almost non-stop cruising action. The trails along the Foret du Soinges are also lined with boys looking to get laid morning, noon, and night. Just wander around the woods for a little while, and you'll soon have your choice of man meat to devour! The Parc du Cinquantenaire, right next door to the headquarters of the European Commission, is known as a cruise park for upscale Brussels dudes looking to take a break from bitching about Bush and suck some cock. Known locally as Cocksuckers Paradise, the park in front of the Royal Palace is also a spot for queens looking for rising cock as soon as the sun goes down. To find the most man meat possible, head over to the bushes by the Royal Fountain. The European Big Men's Convergence Kinky twinks are nice when you want a sexy snack. But, sometimes you want a full meal of man meat! That's why I was delighted to learn of the European Big Men's Convergence, held annually in Brussels. This is a giant, weeklong party dedicated to chubbies, fatties, and burly bears. No women, straights, or skinny boys are allowed at any of the events most of which offer free food and drink! The Big Mens' Convergence is considered the largest gay event for fatties in the world and it brings out the big boys! Like I've always said, Size Matters! And we all know that bigger means better! Pink Screens One of the more delicious events in Brussels is the annual Pink Screens transgender film festival. From October through November, the event features dozens of films that examine the way gender plays roles in our lives. The films focus on the roles of drag queens, gay tops and bottoms, transsexuals, and transvestites. It attracts a mostly gay international crowd, and is a great way to pass the time before the gay clubs open up around 11 p.m.! Brussels Gay Pride Brussels has one of the newer gay pride events in Europe they have only been holding them since the mid 1990s. Still, they have begun to attract large crowds and in 2007, more than 20,000 people came down for what the locals call Pink Saturday. The Pride event is held every year in May and focuses on a large central city parade, street vendors, and then all-night dancing and cruising in the local clubs. The Brussels Gay Sports Association!

The issue of what actually might happen in you test positive. Members have speculated on the outcome. Here's two tales about those who have. From Richard Barrow's Twitter site Today’s special newsletter is about the nightmare that falls upon you if you test positive on arrival in Thailand. This is what happened to Kirovs, a tourist who came to Thailand with his family. He is now in hospital and his family are in hotel quarantine. The second story is from James who is considered a close contact as he was in the same car from the airport as someone who tested positive. Neither of the people who tested positive have any symptoms and they are now desperately trying to find out if their insurance will cover the large hospital bill. https://www.getrevue.co/profile/richardbarrow/issues/the-nightmare-of-testing-positive-on-arrival-in-thailand-848695

Pete Buttigieg Comes Across Like A Tin Man The new Pete Buttigieg documentary reveals a gifted politician struggling with how much to reveal of himself. Two and a half years after his run for president, Pete Buttigieg has managed to hold America’s attention and fascination. | Courtesy of Amazon Studios By RUBY CRAMER 11/08/2021 12:35 PM EST Ruby Cramer is a senior staff writer for Politico Magazine. The first voice you hear, somewhere off-camera, belongs to Jesse Moss, the filmmaker. “Anything you want to make sure that I ask him?” By this point, Moss has spent 11 months with his subject, filming him backstage at events, in his home, in his car, at the airport, in every session of debate prep he held with his campaign advisers. But as the new documentary “Mayor Pete” opens, the director is asking for help. The person seated across from Moss is not Pete Buttigieg, but his husband. Chasten, holding the couple’s one-eyed puggle upright in his lap, tells Moss to ask Buttigieg about his identity. “He did everything to climb every ladder without being his authentic self,” he says. Buttigieg didn’t come out of the closet until 2015, when he was 33, already mayor. “You spent so much of your life hiding who you really were — did you feel like you were able to be your true self on the campaign trail?” “Do you think he’s ready to answer that question?” Moss asks. “Can he answer that?” “He should. You can try.” Buttigieg walks in the room. Before he leaves, Chasten turns to his husband. “Don’t bull---- us, Peter,” he says. Two and a half years after his run for president, Buttigieg has managed to hold America’s attention and fascination. Roads and bridges have apparently never been so interesting. The beat-like coverage of his arrival in Washington this year — of his new kids, his aides, his role in the Biden administration, his presumed future presidential run(s) — is not typically commensurate with the job title of transportation secretary. Now a feature film by Moss, director of the 2020 film “Boys State,” aims to fill the lingering curiosity gap about a candidate who has shaped his own unexpected political identity, first in South Bend, Ind., and now in Washington. But peeling back the layers, Moss found, could feel like an impossibly frustrating task. The proposition he interrogates in the film, built on cinéma vérité-style footage from inside the 2020 campaign, is that when it comes to Buttigieg, what you see is what you get. In one sense, this is proven true. For 96 minutes, in scenes ranging from public events to the privacy of his own home, there is Pete, acting like Pete: reserved and calm, a sweet husband, a nerd (“Did someone say pivot table!?” he asks in one scene, exuberant at the chance to help format an Excel spreadsheet), an introvert. He does not, by his own admission, have the “gregarious charisma” of Bill Clinton. You can sense there is constant activity happening, not on screen, but somewhere inside his head, far off and out of reach. At points, Moss says, he felt confounded by his own subject, turning to Chasten to bring Buttigieg emotionally within arm’s length. “I was very stymied by that,” Moss told me ahead of the film’s release this Friday. “There were moments where I threw up my hands in frustration and despair.” The beat-like coverage of Pete Buttigieg's arrival in Washington this year is not typically commensurate with the job title of transportation secretary. | Courtesy of Amazon Prime Video And that’s the underside of Moss’s premise, the dilemma in his film on constant display: It’s not exactly that Buttigieg is “bull----ing” us, as Chasten says in the first scene, or even that what you see is not, in fact, what you get. It’s the feeling of an inaccessible interior — of watching a person who is still becoming comfortable with himself and doing so on the biggest stage imaginable. The real drama that unfolds on screen is not about the ups and downs of a campaign, or even Buttigieg’s political prospects, though he states plainly in the film’s final scene that he could run again: “Time is on my side.” What you see instead is more basic: a story about personal identity in politics — a man, then 37, a presidential candidate, a breakout star, now the most prominent member of President Biden’s cabinet, who at every turn was unsure of how, or exactly how much, to share himself with the world. Always, he erred on the side of less rather than more. Always, it was against the urging of his own husband and campaign team. The sharpest moments of tension come when Chasten and campaign aides push Buttigieg to open up, including about his identity as a gay man. In one subtly heartbreaking scene, Chasten is in their Des Moines hotel room, watching live coverage of the Iowa caucus returns. Bernie Sanders is on TV, speaking on stage surrounded by his wife and family, when Chasten says from the couch, “You’re gonna be the only candidate that didn’t have your spouse standing next to you.” Buttigieg doesn’t really respond. In a seated interview for the film, Chasten recalls the early days of their relationship. “I would say, ‘What’s going on in that head of yours?’ And he’s grown a lot, being able to verbalize. I think he’s learned to allow personal narrative to have more impact,” he tells Moss. “Opening up.” In debate prep sessions, when Buttigieg rehearses his response to a police shooting of a Black man in South Bend, his senior adviser Lis Smith says, “He’s comin’ across like the f---ing tin man up there.” When he talks about his experiences as a gay man, she tells him it’s like he is “reading a f---ing shopping list,” she says. “You’re not, like, f---ing, an anthropologist here.” “This is, like, a thing that you feel,” she says, as if literally reminding him. It was only late into the project that Moss discovered he was watching a candidate’s “journey” to express himself in a more fundamental rather than political way. That journey is the invisible framework of the film, and you have to look carefully for signs of the scaffolding as the camera tracks Buttigieg moving swiftly through the benchmarks of a national campaign, from his launch in April 2019, to his rise via CNN town halls and debates, to the night he wins the Iowa caucus and, just four weeks later, stares down the reality that “the numbers” are “just not there” with Black voters. But what Moss does manage to reveal between the action tells us more about the man himself, and his limits. “Sometimes people who participate in documentaries don’t fully consciously know why they do it,” Moss told me. “There is a complicated relationship that is formed with the filmmaker, and there's a need that you fulfill. “The film may have functioned as a part of that self-questioning. It may have been wrapped up in what Chasten recognized to be the larger project that Pete was on — to open up.” The first time I met Buttigieg was at a Sheraton in Phoenix in January 2017. He was still mayor of South Bend, a city of 100,000, a new entry in the race to become chair of the Democratic National Committee, his first introduction to the national stage. As an aide led me up to his suite, she told me he was “the next John F. Kennedy.” MOST READ ‘He’s Comin’ Across Like the F---ing Tin Man Up There’This being a DNC candidate forum, an unglamorous and musty affair, it was quite the claim. Inside the room, I asked Buttigieg about how he wanted to lead the party, and he quickly steered us into a conversation about what it means to lead a city with “values” — specifically, he said, the values of trash pickup services. "The values of trash pickup?" I said. “Yeah. It’s connected to the meaning of life, in the sense that whatever the meaning life is —” "Trash pickup?" "Yeah,” he said, “because what's the meaning of life for you?" I stammered. “Whatever it is, whether it’s your professional growth, or faith and family, or you’re building a business, you will not be able to meet that life of your choosing if there’s not clean, safe drinking water for you, or a road to get you where you’re going — or if the trash isn’t getting picked up.” Buttigieg, a skilled narrator, is President Biden’s most prominent messenger, on the Sunday shows nearly every weekend. | Courtesy of Amazon Prime Video Buttigieg could do that, even back then — turning a mundane question into a larger-than-life answer. He could sell his record in South Bend as a national model. His view of politics was philosophical, esoteric. He presented voters with a view of one era bleeding into the next — the New Deal era lasted for 50 years, he’d tell voters, then came the Reagan era, and he wanted to define the era that came next. As transportation secretary, he is President Biden’s most prominent messenger, on the Sunday shows nearly every weekend, talking up the infrastructure bill that will finally become law after a vote late Friday. In policy and politics, he is a skilled narrator. The film “Mayor Pete” documents the way his personal narrative, on the other hand, boiled down in the Democratic primary to a collection of outré biographical data points that delighted reporters at every turn: Maltese American, left-handed, gay, war veteran, Episcopalian, mayor, millennial, fluent in eight languages (including Norwegian), reads French poetry, loves James Joyce, prefers blue Paper Mate Flair Felt Tip Pens (medium point, 0.7mm), played a minor role in a possible bread price-fixing scandal in Canada and so on. “People want to fix you onto a spectrum and find a box to put you in,” Buttigieg once told me before he ran for president. “I spent Thanksgiving in a deer blind with my boyfriend’s father. Identity buckets aren’t comfortable places for me to be in.” Buttigieg had only just launched his exploratory committee when Moss, still editing “Boys State,” approached the campaign, then just a team of a few people. His producer had pitched the idea. Buttigieg was interested. Moss was skeptical. “I said no, actually,” he says. “It sucks to cover campaigns.” After watching Buttigieg on a CNN town hall, an appearance that helped incite “the overall fascination with Pete,” Moss told me, he reconsidered. “I said, ‘Well, if the access is really there, and Pete’s really willing to give it, even though he’s not going to go far and this might be a foolhardy effort, I'll just go out and start filming, and we'll see how it feels.” As he trailed the campaign in 2019, Moss found that although his film crew of one had access no other journalist enjoyed — to his campaign headquarters, his marriage, his living room in South Bend — Buttigieg could present an inaccessible front. The first time they met was on a train to Washington, D.C. Moss introduced himself. “I’m like, ‘I’m Jesse.’ And he’s like, ‘I’m Pete.’ And then he was back to work. I sat down on the empty seat next to him and waited for the small talk to begin, and it didn’t.” He stayed for “two awkward minutes,” he says, and then returned to his seat. “A very awkward first day.” Weeks later, Moss remembers filming him from the passenger seat of a car. Buttigieg was in the back, reading or dialed into a call, Moss watching his face. “It was placid. I wouldn’t say blank — that’s not the right word — but it was impenetrable,” he says. “And yet I found it fascinating because I thought, what is going on? He’s juggling a lot of balls in the air here. He's obviously containing a lot — emotionally and intellectually and tactically — and all of that was concentrated right there in his face for me.” “There’s an experimental version of the film, which is just him thinking,” he laughs. “But that’s also not great dramatic storytelling, right? He is so restrained. He’s a difficult, dramatic protagonist. In some ways, he's so comfortable in front of the camera, at least in certain environments. And yet, he wasn’t uncomfortable privately. But he was not revealing.” Moss’s wife and filmmaking partner, Amanda McBaine, advised him at some point “to get Pete drunk or something.” Buttigieg rationalizes his restraint in his own words, late in the film, quoting a poem by Carl Sandburg, written from the perspective of a father giving advice to his son: “It says, ‘Tell himself no lies about himself / whatever the white lies and protective fronts / he may use amongst other people.” Everybody “has thought about that,” Buttigieg tells Moss. “What’s the difference between the faces the world makes you put forward and your shifting understanding of who you actually are?” At points, filmmaker Jesse Moss says, he felt confounded by his own subject, turning to Chasten to bring Buttigieg emotionally within arm’s length. | Courtesy of Amazon Prime Video Moss learned to rely on Chasten. Really, the two colluded in the project. At one point, Moss is trying to interview Buttigieg — “and I could see he was slipping into this mode of like, ‘I'm talking to any reporter,’ and it’s just unusable.” So he asks Chasten to step in as the questioner. “I've never done that before with a documentary interview, and it felt a little transgressive, but we immediately got more interesting. I thought, ‘My God, now I'm filming them talking about this campaign together.’” Chasten sits down at their dining room table, behind a portrait of Kennedy propped up on a small piano. “How do you know how to do what you’re doing?” he asks his husband. Buttigieg, in particular, laments what he calls the “gamification” of politics, but it’s Chasten who is constantly pushing up against what he feels are the boundaries of the campaign. When he wants to start telling audiences about the couple’s difficulty having kids — “it’s something very real and felt by a lot of people” — a staffer tells him it’s a bit too intimate to bring up publicly. The two briefly debate the question before the staffer says, “If you want to make it a part of ‘the narrative,’ we can have that conversation.” Moss believes he wouldn’t have been able to make the film with just Buttigieg. “You couldn’t,” he says. “I think that I was really struggling. I thought, ‘Oh my God, I can’t make a film.’ Chasten allowed me to kind of short circuit what would normally either be impossible or take forever.” You do see intimate moments in “Mayor Pete”: In March 2020, after dropping out of the race, you watch him return from the campaign trail, changing into sweatpants and slippers before taking calls from President Obama and Joe Biden. At home, he does laundry, brews Keurig, types on his iPad, wrestles with his dogs on the floor, takes Chasten on a “date night” to Dairy Queen (“Can we eat the ice cream before the chicken gets here?” he asks), plays dominoes with his family and works at the mayor’s office in South Bend. “Oh, Mr. Bill, Mr. Regular Bill, sitting here, on the mayor’s desk,” he hums in a singsong voice to a stack of paper, chipper as he signs each page with his fine blue marker. “This is how a bill becomes law!” he declares when an aide walks in. “Mhm,” she says, walking out. There are notable absences in the film, too. Moss documents Buttigieg’s struggle with the police shooting of Eric Logan, a Black man in South Bend, but the film leaves out the tensions over race and inclusion that divided his own campaign staff. (Rather, Moss presents the operation as a small, home-grown family, where aides are expected to “be really, really kind,” as campaign manager Mike Schmuhl tells staff early in the film.) You also don’t hear Buttigieg talk about his father, who died just before his campaign launch, around the same time Moss began filming. Buttigieg didn’t discuss his grief on the campaign trail, and he doesn’t in the film. Moss says he didn’t want to overload the documentary with too much early biography. “My way of coming at the world, the stronger the emotion is, the more private it is,” Buttigieg says. “And it is a strange thing, because politics is an emotional pursuit, of course.” Chasten’s question for his husband — were you able to “be your true self on the campaign trail?” — is at the center of every run for office, and of every documentary that tries to reveal the harrowing gauntlet that is American presidential politics. “Journeys With George,” Alexandra Pelosi’s home-movie-style film about her time embedded with the 2000 Bush campaign, shows the candidate as viewed from inside “the bubble” — a daily, rote exercise in following him from one place to the next. As reporters slip and slide across a frozen tarmac in Iowa, waiting to watch the candidate arrive, Houston Chronicle reporter R.G. Ratcliffe yells over the drone of jet engines, “This is insane! The only reason we’re out here is in case Bush comes out, slips on the ice and falls down — because we’re vicious predators.” A more recent political documentary series, “Hillary,” shows a candidate looking on from the other side of the bubble: “I am a private person, but I think it’s important to be a private person if you’re in public arena,” Clinton tells filmmakers, “because the crushing intensity of total wall-to-wall coverage, the expectation that you share your innermost feelings with people — is there anything left if you’ve basically lived everything out in public?” “Mayor Pete” presents viewers with something in between. The audience is neither on the outside looking in, nor fully inside. If Buttigieg was able to be his “true self” on the campaign trail, or in the documentary project he invited into his home for a year, the question is left open by Moss. “I'm always interested in the faces we put forward to the public and then the private self,” Moss says. “It does articulate to me a central question of Pete’s journey through the campaign and his own growth. It’s the question every candidate goes through. For Pete that has particular meaning, because he’s a gay man.” Now a father to twins, Buttigieg has not participated in the promotion of the film. The only staff member interviewed in the documentary, the campaign manager, Mike Schmuhl, declined to discuss the project, too. Moss did share a rough cut of the movie with Buttigieg and Chasten earlier this year. They both watched it. Buttigieg only offered one piece of feedback: Why wasn't there more policy? “It may just be that they’re processing. It’s sort of hard to see past their own lived experience to what the film represents,” Moss says. “Mayor Pete” is less of a political document than films like “Mitt” or “War Room.” Moss says he’s enjoyed referring to it as “a love story.” | Courtesy of Amazon Prime Video “Mayor Pete” is less of a political document than films like “Mitt” or “War Room.” Moss says he’s enjoyed referring to it as “a love story.” By the end of the documentary, we see Pete and Chasten backstage before an event in New Hampshire. He’s just won the Iowa caucus and backstage in a small hold room, when Chasten asks Buttigieg if he would ever say: “To that kid, cracking the door open, wondering if it’s really safe to come out in this country, I say, ‘Look what we can do.’” “I don’t know, maybe,” says Buttigieg, seated at his iPad. When he goes on stage, he gives his own version of the line and chokes up. If you can see Buttigieg’s growth in the film, Moss says, this was it. “I think what they were negotiating, in the relationship, and then on the stage, both together and separately, was how to live as themselves. How much of myself do I offer?” “Are we left with a similar feeling of unrequited knowledge with Donald Trump? Probably not. We probably know everything and more than we need to know. What is it about Pete that creates that sense that there’s something elusive? And is that a valuable thing to have?” Moss, against his own interests as a filmmaker, offers one possible answer. “Maybe we need more political leaders who offer us less of their personal selves.”

A recent photo posted on the above Twitter account. Classic boy-next-doors; my favorite type. I'll take them any day of the week and twice on Sundays. And thinking back, I do believe I have.

grown up, minister and still believes in fairy tales !

of what year?

Not from you 😆

Maybe you should take that money and invest in your own strip club down in Rio, complete with private lap dance booths (or curtains). Maybe you’ll make a mint, Or maybe then, you’ll learn why Junior or Monik have yet to do it at their establishments.

If that's a top priority, negotiate it in advance. Yes, you will pay about 50-100R more because cumming knocks them out of commission longer or even for the whole night. That said, at least twice I had a guy cum without demanding more. They both were last-call transactions. One guy had already dressed but hopped back for one more customer. He reminded me of James Franco (woof!) and got really into the 3-way. With the other guy I had already finished, but when I got out of the shower, he was jacking off in front of the (straight) porn. It was he who suggested cumming all over me.

Condom size got me curious so I wanted to learn more about the significance of "S.52", "S.54" or "S.56". Here's what I found. (DISCLAIMER: If you find all this a bit confusing, as I did, you might just asking a prospective masseur if he's from Isaan.) Condom size by the base flat width: Small - 50 mm (1.97 inches) +/- or smaller Standard - 52 mm (2.05 inches) +/- Large - 54 mm (2.13 inches) +/- XL - 56 mm (2.21 inches) +/- or larger Frequently Asked Questions How can you tell if a condom fits properly? A condom should fit snugly over the penis without slipping off or feeling uncomfortable. Condoms are supposed to be tight, but an overly tight condom that is overstretched can break more easily. Most men can comfortably use a standard condom, but condoms also come in bigger and smaller sizes.3 What is the best-fitting condom for a smaller-sized penis? When it comes to condom fit, width is more important than the length. You want a condom that is narrow enough to not slide off during sex. For a penis that is on the slender side, look for terms like snugger or close fit. Are magnum-sized condoms wider than regular condoms? Condoms labeled as extra large, max, or magnum are wider and longer than standard condoms. Some brands also provide extra width at the top of the condom to fit more comfortably on penises with larger heads. Wearing a condom is the best way to protect yourself and your partner during sex. Once you have properly measured the length and width of your penis, you can look for a condom that suits your size. The right condom for you will provide better comfort, and may prevent such accidents as the condom breaking or falling off. What size condom do I need?

I believe you are doing the right thing @Novarunner. It is his business and you are referring him. If he had an ad I would feel comfortable to send the link to your female friend.

Honestly, good for her. Why should men have all the fun? I think for a lot of escorts, getting paid gets them hard, so they're do whatever gets the cash. I think offering him her contact info and letting him make the call is the right answer.

I don’t ask questions any more. I almost always go by whether they have a smile that reaches their eyes. My first couple of years I asked questions but my interpretation of the answers didn’t always tally with the result and I quickly realised it was futile being disappointed by issues caused by language and word interpretation. Some of my best experiences have been with boys who I would almost certainly would have counted out with honest answers to questions I would previously have asked. In fact, probably 4 of my favourite 5 offs would never have happened. Not only that but I’d have absolutely no clue how to ask for what has been my favourite off ever. Now I go with the flow, get some disappointments but am generally on the plus side.

But, honestly, yes, I always ask. Each and every time. I have for 30 years. I want to know I at least have a shot. That said, most of my ex's were not gay so I don't know why I keep asking as it may not matter to me in the end.
