Subject: Limited jaw movement
Question: I was born with what is known as limited jaw movement which means I only have about an inch and a quarter or so of play between my front teeth (my dentists hate this). The type of surgery needed to fix this is painful and expensive and wouldn't be covered by health insurance and I'm not going to pull my teeth! Since I am a top it hasn't mattered that much but recently I've been hankering to try and find a way to perform a satisfactory blowjob. I have no problems with the idea of doing it I’m just trying to find a way to work around my physical limitations. Do you have any advice on how to give a good blowjob when you can't plunge a cock deep into your mouth? I have found that I can achieve some pleasure on part of my partner just with my lips and tongue but feel I may be missing something. I know what I like when being sucked and this is precisely what I can't do with someone else. So short of advertising for hot guys with needle thin cocks what can I do to better master the art of fellatio?

Dear Satyr: I have to admit I had to Google ‘limited jaw movement’ to familiarize myself with your condition. In doing this research I saw that there seems to be progress for using microsurgery to make the surgery easier. As well there seemed to be a variety of non-surgical options for certain variations of the problem. I’ll have to assume that you are aware of these and that they don’t apply to your particular situation. I also have to say that I’m shocked that your health insurance would not cover this. I asked my doctor here in Canada and he said that this is something he would have no problem having done for me under our free health plan as would be the case in most of the civilized world. You guys need socialized medicine in the US.

I’m amazed to think of an active gay man who has never had a cock in his mouth. Having a man’s cock in your mouth is one of the delights of gay sex and sucking your partner’s cock is on of the greatest pleasures you give him during sex. You really are missing something.

There is a lot you can do with your lips, tongue, and hands and I think that you’ll just have to direct your energies here. Most of the cock nerve endings are on the head so you can give someone pleasure without deepthroating. If you have a partner willing to experiment you might try putting a condom on his cock to protect it from your teeth and just seeing what you can squeeze into your mouth. Cocks are flexible so you might squeeze one in that is not fat.

Personally, I’d start saving for the surgery


From: Les
Subject: Manhattan love hotels
Question: I would like to know if there are hotels/motels in Manhattan where two adult mature men can get a room for just two hours to enjoy themselves. Most hotels are expensive and require a night stay. Is there such a place that can give you a room for an hourly rate?

Dear Les: I consulted my buddy Mark who knows the high and lowdown of Manhattan. He said there are not really love hotels in Manhattan but there are a few regular hotels where people go. Unfortunately, they are not exactly cheap (very little in NYC is). His recommendations are as follows:

The St. Mark's Hotel, located on St. Mark's Place (8th Street) and 3rd Avenue. It's somewhat pricey but spotlessly clean and in a great location.

The Terminal Hotel, located on 11th Avenue and 23rd Street. This hotel is near where the leather bars used to be and where the female hookers would hang out before Giuliani got rid of them. Guys would take tricks here all the time and often drugged-out whores loitered in the hallways. The place is still there but now has a new name. I do suspect that it's cleaned up its act somewhat.

There are a few cheap hotels located near Port Authority Bus Terminal:

The Sherman Hotel on 42nd Street and 8th Avenue is one I've been to.

The Park Avenue Hotel on Park Avenue and 125th Stret in Harlem. No frills dump in the heart of Harlem across from the Metro-North train station. It might be difficult to get a room as the rates are so cheap that people rent them for months at a time.

You might also try checking into someplace like the Wall Street Sauna or other sex venues.


From: Chuck
Subject: Herpes
Question: I love reading your answers. About fifteen years ago I had two small clusters of water blisters near the head of my penis but no pain or burning sensation. Nevertheless, I consulted my family doctor who diagnosed it as herpes and prescribed ointment and also pills. It’s been more than fifteen years and not a single relapse of herpes. I wanted to ask my doctor if he may have misdiagnosed me but he passed away. I do have my doubts.

Dear Chuck: Sounds like herpes to me. Many guys don’t have symptoms after their first outbreak. Herpes can remain dormant for years and then reappear often at a time of stress. I would suggest that you get tested to be sure. If you have it you should have some of the medication around your home and you can head off the worst of an outbreak by starting the drug immediately upon noticing the symptoms.


From: Curious
Subject: Buenos Aires taxi boys
Question: You wrote in your column previously that you were in Buenos Aires a number of times. I am in BA for a couple of months. Did you have any experience with what they call "taxi boys,” i.e. hustlers? There are a couple of Websites and they look interesting. What is your opinion about health risks and safety (potential for crime)? Also, you mentioned the Castelar Hotel. Do men just make contact there or does sex actually go on in the gym?

Dear Curious: BA is great...hope you are enjoying it. In BA there are high price escorts that work through agencies, mainly through Websites. Taxi boys, who in my experience, mainly worked the bars while hustlers were on the street and in the subway toilets. There seems to be a real class system between them so don’t call an escort a taxi boy or a hustler. Prostitution is not illegal in Argentina and there is a lot of it. I would say that escorts and taxi boys are fairly safe but I would hesitate to pick up a guy off the street. Although I must admit that the cutest young guy waved the hugest latin dick at me in a subway toilet one evening.

I met a taxi boy at the bar Contramano. After buying him a couple of drinks we went to a 'love hotel' that rented by the hour. This is a system common in many parts of the world. It was fun and I had a good experience. These guys are pros so they expect safe sex, and since they are having a lot of sex with strangers you should want safe sex with them. I think it is fairly safe although I would not carry a lot of money with me. I would also watch my drink at all times as a bad guy might try to drug you.

I also hired a taxi boy as a guide one night and saw some adventurous places I would not have found on my own. Fifty pesos was the price for an evening of guiding or for sex, well worth it either way. I suspect escorts from Websites will be more expensive perhaps up around US $100 dollars.

The historic Castaler Hotel where I like to stay has a spa over one hundred years old. There was some cock sucking in the steam and sauna and guests staying in the hotel sometimes take guys up to their room. It is not openly sexual. Think of going to the YMCA in the 1950s. Have fun.
