A Christmas visit to Melbourne – WARNING – NSFW images ahead!

Post covid I haven’t been travelling as much and Christmas especially. I find flying at Christmas uniquely unpleasant (as I’m sure many people do). This year however I decided to make the trip to see family in Victoria. I drove down from Sydney though to avoid the aforementioned air travel pain!

The drive there was uneventful (the best possible outcome when travelling the Hume Highway) and Christmas with family was fun.

I also had the pleasure of a booking in Melbourne before I headed home to Sydney.

Entrance to the Museum of Desire in Collingwood

Now one thing I had thought would be fun to see was The Museum Of Desire in Collingwood (which I talked about previously). It turned out to be a fun, lighthearted look at sex and sexuality and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for an hour or two of quirky entertainment in inner Melbourne.

I rather liked the “interactive” nature of many of the exhibits – from a giant “couch thing” that told erotic stories, to the game that required you to match faces to genitals to cars and hand bags! Not to mention the phallic ring toss, and the butt-putt mini-golf…

There was also static art, film, and an interactive sound scape installation. It was fun and worth the investment of a little time.

Faces, genitals, hand bags, and cars – which belongs to whom?
Choose a camera, strike a pose (more or less clothed!), and take the photo – it will then be displayed along with many others on the screens outside the booth
This photocopier has clearly seen some things!
Break the laser beams with your hand to interact with the sound scape!

So thank you Museum of Desire, you provided a fun and lighthearted diversion on a muggy Melbourne afternoon!

A nice way to spice up a salad

I’ve been following a keto diet now for over a year (with intermittent fasting), so I tend to eat a lot of salad. One of the tenets of a keto diet is that you should be eating more protein (and fat). I was given this product a while back and had never gotten around to trying it until recently (BTW – I have no interest in “paleo” diets and “superfoods”, I’m not endorsing this brand or ideas, I just enjoy this thing). It’s a mix of seeds, so it adds fats and protein to my salad. It also adds a nice gentle crunch texture, which I really enjoy.

My dieting has so far resulted in nine kilograms of weight loss (despite waffles in Norway), which I’m quite please with!

Are you ready to indulge your curiosity? The Museum Of Desire is making its global debut in Melbourne this year, and we can guarantee it’s unlike anything else you’ve ever seen. Imagine stepping into a space where the sex is artart is sexy, and curiosity is always encouraged. This isn’t just an exhibit—it’s a fully immersive, boundary-breaking experience where every shadow whispers, every space invites, and every art piece flirts back. Intrigued? Well, it’s time to get your tickets, because the Museum of Desire is about to become the hottest event in town.

And I have to say that I’m intrigued! If you’re in Melbourne and are looking for some unconventional fun then I think this might be just the thing!

Oh – if you have been to the Museum of Desire then I’d love to hear about it – drop a comment below!

Reflections on 2024

This has been a funny sort of a year. Many ups and downs, some wonderful travel, and now it’s coming to a close. Through it all I have had the immense pleasure of seeing you my clients.

I have worked in this industry for over fourteen years as it continues to evolve and grow. I am proud to be a part of it and to have the opportunity to provide my services.

One of my clients with a disability messaged me just yesterday to remind me that I have been working with her now for thirteen years!

People sometimes ask me when I am going to retire because “you can’t do this forever…”. My answer is always “I’ll keep working as a male escort for as long as my clients want to see me.”

Why? Because this is the best job in the world and one of the most rewarding things that I have ever done in my life. I get to meet so many wonderful people. Help them to enjoy their sexuality, sometimes help them grow as people, explore things that they might never have had an opportunity to otherwise. 

Sometimes I’m there to help them get through a difficult period in their life. Be it a life-changing illness, divorce, or personal loss.

Whatever the situation, it is a privilege that I am trusted to share that journey.

So thank you to everyone I have met, or who has continued to see me this year. Your support is greatly appreciated.

I will be taking a few days off over the Christmas period, but please feel free to drop me a line any time if you would like to make a booking.

I hope everyone has a fun and safe break.
