[QUOTE=MyDarkSide;4315561]HPV is a done deal. Virtually all sexually active men had/have it. Most all of us will successfully fight off with immune system.[/QUOTE]I've had to visit my dermatologist to get some freeze treatments on several lesions I found downstairs. They weren't cancerous, but I certainly didn't have them before I started this lifestyle. No clue where I got it.

[QUOTE=Quebec;4317760]Umm, wouldn't those be genital warts?[/QUOTE]Most likely. A symptom of hpv.
[QUOTE=Quebec;4317760]Umm, wouldn't those be genital warts?[/QUOTE]Yes. The bill from the office referred to them as lesions. I appreciated the discretion. LOL.
[QUOTE=MyDarkSide;4317807]Most likely. A symptom of hpv.[/QUOTE]There around 40 different types of HPV. Exposure to 16 causes throat or head / neck cancer and I believe 17 causes cervical cancer whereas 19 warts. Here is what makes it so difficult, your immune system will kill it so you won't have it when these symptoms develop, BUT its the exposure to it that gets you, plus there is no testing available to know if you have it, only if you have been exposed to it. High School students have been getting vaccinated since the mid 90's, so if your older you probably were exposed at some point via sitting on a toilet, kissing, 16 is through oral sex, pretty hard not to have had it unless you got the vaccine.

And, man, they were pushing it HARD (ads trying to guilt parents into not basically killing their kids by not giving them the vaccine, that sort of thing) and it was pretty expensive. I think a couple / few hundred bucks.
Because I had certainly already been exposed, I didn't really follow up. Given the amount of bullshit about viruses and such on the Internet (take a look at what the anti-Vaxers are putting out there) I'm not inclined to do a super-quick check right now, but it's worth keeping in mind that the pharma companies are rightfully notorious for pushing shit that's of questionable value if they can make a buck.
HIV epidemic. It's used as a case study in scientific journals. Read Nature or Science.
[QUOTE=PlayTiem;4315691]HIV is most prevalant in the Miami area (for Florida), but there's certainly plenty around here. I'm old enough to remember when HIV was a death sentence. I was talking with an ER nurse recently, and she said she'd rather contract HIV than Hep, which is obviously different than it used to be.
With the pill mills being shut down and H / fentanyl becoming a cheaper and therefore more popular alternative to oxy (etc), shooters are increasingly a problem. Apparently, the high from Fentanyl is much shorter lasting, too, so the people who routinely shoot that end up shooting a LOT more, which increases needle sharing.
I manage my exposure risk by avoiding obvious shooters, or people who have symptoms that are common to them, by not picking up SWans with obvious massive signs of other candy use, and by making sure to get tested regularly.
Do I worry about it anyways? Sure.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=DWaltonXXX;4319726]HIV epidemic. It's used as a case study in scientific journals. Read Nature or Science.[/QUOTE]I haven't been keeping up with either of those, recently. I probably should change that.
Current stats say that Jax has about 50% of the new HIV case rate that Miami does, though.
Not that that's particularly reassuring, or that anyone should let their guard down, but it seems that there are plenty of guys that will continue to see known shooters, so the 26/100 k rate in Jax isn't likely to go down anytime soon.
Just for reference: Jax has 2x the national average, and Miami has 4x. The Ft Lauderdale area has the #2 and #3 spots in between Miami and Jax for Florida.
Ok, I just have to say that the talent I'm seeing advertised in J'ville is just not inspiring me. In fact, over the past couple of years I think it has become even worse. And if these girls look this bad in their pics, I can only imagine how they actually look in person. At least before there were opportunities to find diamonds in the ruff, but not now. Takeout from strip clubs has always been my preferred source of paid companions, but once in a blue moon I might dip my toe in the local escort market. But I haven't felt motivated to dial up one of these girls in over a year now. This is just atrocious. Worse though, when a decent one surfaces, she's taking a shit ton of volume.
Anyway, this is just a vent. As much as I'd like to diversify and maybe keep a few more bucks in my pocket, I just can't accept the hefty trade-off in quality.

The best I have had albeit it takes a lot of work, is the sugar market on SA for an hour of what it cost for an eros girl I can throw that down and get someone younger, better looking, no appearance of drug use low mileage, and more enthusiastic. Here is my damage experience Girl#1 no charge to drive 2 hours to see me 1st meet $$ overnight, Girl 2 $$$ and left just call anytime and don't worry about the $. Called her told her I had no $ she said $$ she drove an hour and stayed the night but I am not going to lie it takes work just like a GF but my experiences have been epic with those real college girls yea they need $ but honestly if your a good time and dependable for help when needed and need a good dream I have not gone wrong with them and I can't keep up with them.
Is there anything left in this hobby in this city worth getting your dick wet in?
I've had 2 months of strikeouts. Stank puss, timewasters, catfish, deadfish, uglyfish.
I've been hobbying 3 years now, and have never seen it so bad. I scroll thru stg, onebackpage, escortindex, city xguide, adultlook, adultsearch. Anything I try to link up with is just a disappointment, for whatever reason. Can't even find a decent swan.
Sorry for the pessimism, but WTF happened to this city?
Any positive recommendations are welcome and appreciated, but I'm afraid I have no reccomendations to return the favor with...

Both in and out of the hobby. And now other forms of candy making a comeback as well. It should come as no surprise.
Especially in this town. There's nothing to do here. And it shows more and more each day.
I don't foresee it getting better anytime soon and sadly we still probably haven't hit rock bottom in this hobby.
Best bet as others have mentioned here is the SB market.

Then with all the raids its hard to maneuver for them. Jax really has changed in the last 2 decades worst in the last decade. They shut and tearing down all the good and historical stuff around town. There in the mist of shutting down the landing. Probably Jax main attraction. Unfortunetly Jax is still in a conservative Jim Crow kind of era. The schools and resources and job opportunity in the "bad" parts of town, which are like the downtown and surrounding area are designed to keep the poor poor. So theirs a huge income gap from broke to rich. Not to many middle ground players which would support the hobby. I ran into some damn fine providers who left because Jacksonville was to damn slow. So conservative they want to keep everything in the 80's or something. So we have to think about it why stay in a place where you barely pulling anything, where you can move a couple cities down or a couple states up and guarantee an steady flow. Here they're not guaranteed nothing. 90% of the providers here are unfortunately SW's. Which all charge stupid insane prices for what they are worth. So if the scum of the barrel charge a certain price, providers coming here going to charge hell of more. Some take pride in what they do, so theirs no way they going to charge the same price as a SW off the street. Again they told me this too. So with the ones with got, coming back to the poor education, they don't know about client retention. Would think in the hobby you would want loyal patrons, who wouldn't mind tipping occasionally. Yet they do the utmost possible to piss you off. For example I was with a Latina vocalist and we was in the middle of her performance, and someone walked in, so bam we had to go in the car, but she brings her friend. And she was complaining the whole time that I couldn't enjoy it. So we went back to her place to finish the act, and said I had to wait. So my dumb behind waited a good hr comms went silent. This was early in my hobbying days. Needless to say I didn't go back to her even though she begged and all that shid. Now unless I know the provider, or she seems legit I don't give them the coins till after or just walk. If they have an attitude before we meet, I don't even entertain them bc already know its going to be complaining, and rushing. Right now I'm trying to build up my UTR database so I don't have to bother with this mess. I kid you not last year was so grand I had 3 UTR which I didn't really have to use sites like STG and others. I found them Reliable, attractive, skilled. Then they moved bc the reasons I told. Shid we even hanged out occasionally and we both had a understanding of the line to not cross. After a while we show the docs that we clean, then the cap came off and that was magical. Beginning of the year had only 2 then 1 now none. Man one of them. Well I'll just leave a pic here. She wasnt even the baddest, the other one look like a 11/10 club girl, now she was fun and freaky. So yah. For the last couple months its been very disappointing. Hell the whole year so far. Try to find some UTR s that to your liking. Since like my dude, I also don't see no hope for jax in the near future its been progressively sinking.
Recently I was talking with a monger about a provider via PM, not going into the details of the conversation but the other monger screenshot our conversation to the provider, now my phone began blowing up because of this because she didn't like it. Basically what I'm saying is unfortunately now we have to really watch what we say in a PM amongst each other because dudes are ratting us to these women it seems, maybe this is another form of white knighting I don't know. Just be careful.
