Members OneFinger Posted May 31, 2008 Members Posted May 31, 2008 I've always enjoyed the log-on page that shows Latest Escorts Reviews, Top 10 Profiles, and featured escorts. But, I just noticed that the featured section is entitled "Featured Person". What's with that?!?! Are we just trying to be politically correct? Is Male Escort Review planning to start featuring women or transgendered people? I'm all for inclusion. But, it frustrates me when organizations and websites feel they have to be politically correct. Anyone else puzzled by the title? P.S. I'm not complaining - just observing. Quote
AdamSmith Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 Could it be to avoid stepping into the debate over whether we prefer our guys to be called "men" or "boys"? And then also to allow for femme types whom "guy" would not quite fit? So many pitfalls for a webmeister! Quote
TotallyOz Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 I really didn't notice a change if there was one. We are not going to have women on the site. We turn down profiles for them all the time. However, I have no issue with transgendered or drag queens, etc on the site. This is a gay site and I would not exclude any of them. Plus, I have a thing for very sexy lady boys, but that is another story. Perhaps on my next trip there, I'll take a few pics and post here for you. Quote
Members TampaYankee Posted June 4, 2008 Members Posted June 4, 2008 Could it be to avoid stepping into the debate over whether we prefer our guys to be called "men" or "boys"? To offer a peak behind the curtains a bit, this was Oz's choice way back in the early design phase. Not even sure he remembers. At the time I thought it seemed a bit oblique. Then I thought about it. The dilemma you raised above hit me and more... men, boys, hunks, hotties... I could imagine any of these labels might not be a good fit to selected escorts on any given day. The genious of Oz's choice hit me... or the efficacy anyway. I view this 'gay'site as a non-straight site. A haven for gays, bi's, crossdressers, preops, having a place to gather and advertise if they wish. Our thrust is gay male escorts because that is our 'mainstream', but others are welcome as well.

Members TampaYankee Posted June 5, 2008 Members Posted June 5, 2008 Wow. Perhaps I need some memory pills. Well now that I think it over, all I know is that it wasn't my input. I assumed it was yours but it could have been one of the programmers unfamiliar with the gay vocabulary. Quote
AdamSmith Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Since no one seems entirely sure of the intent, we can only observe the consequence: "Featured Person" makes plain that, whatever else, this site will not be about bestiality! http://www.bestiality.com/ http://www.animalpornmovies.com/ Quote

AdamSmith Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 You do get around, don't you? Must admit I have read the brochure but not traveled there myself. Of course life is long, and unpredictable. If you were exiled to a desert island with just one beast instead of just one book, which species would it be? Quote

On the other hand (wink, wink) I might just come to a quick appreciation of couching alone on some silent hill. Substitute desert isle; no violence to the scansion. Quote

Substitute desert isle; no violence to the scansion. Thinking, however, upon Alice the while. Dirty old hatter! Your post also, quite irrelevantly and blamelessly, catapulted me into wondering what the Boy of Winander was really up to. Standing out there "alone / Beneath the trees or by the glimmering lake. / ...with fingers interwoven, both hands / Pressed closely palm to palm..." Followed by that bizarrely orgiastic call-and-response with the owls, who ...would shout Across the watery vale, and shout again, Responsive to his call, with quivering peals, And long halloos and screams and echoes loud, Redoubled and redoubled, concourse wild Of jocund din; etc. Never mind that silence while he hung / Listening, much less all finally being received / Into the bosom of the steady lake. So that the whole soggy mass might better have been named "The Precum"? "The Prelube"? Forgive me. Must be the heat. Quote
