As the old year draws to a close, I thought I might pick up the pen and give some of my year’s standout moments their proper due. It also happens to be my first update on my personal website, so if you are reading this, congratulations! You form part of a very small but prized inner circle of my confidantes, who value something a little deeper than the escort ad sites. Check back regularly as I hope to update you every few months with the movements and thoughts of this gay escort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even deeper in connection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 2025 I can only say that my co-conspirators and I went deep<\/em>. For those of you new to my world, you may be asking how deep could such ‘transactional’ intimacy possibly go? Well, during this year I realised just how far we could travel into the world of pleasure and intimacy. Not to mention how far is left to go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
And if we were to wake up together?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

With some particularly memorable invitations that left me tied (literally, in some cases) to my partner, I emerge into 2026 feeling particularly enthused for all the new ways we might be able to come even closer together. A crucial part of connection has also been this website and this blog. I hope to update the latter with updates and ruminations throughout the course of the new year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was also reminded many times over how ‘pleasure’ is not necessarily limited to the bedroom. Indeed, more quotidian pleasures could also be infused with magic. Think sharing a cheese platter on a caf\u00e9 terrace one warm evening, or preparing a bath for two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even deeper in love with Paris<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the autumn, I particularly enjoyed showing a partner around Paris. This served as a refresh to myself as to why the city of light has been my adoptive home for a good few years now. I took the metro from my apartment and emerged at another station, as if going on holiday without needing to travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Gay
I will never tire of this view<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It is always such a delight to devise a Parisian sojourn for two. Racking my brains for tried and tested addresses, as well as making new discoveries. A special mention to the cocktails at the Cambridge Public House<\/a> (how could I only have discovered this place this year?) There are so many things yet to experience – foremost on my bucket list are opera at the Palais Garnier<\/a> and a meal at l’Arp\u00e8ge<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which begs the question – wouldn’t you like me to be your personal tour guide?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A secret helvetophile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

On another geographical note, I received my first invitations to Switzerland. This marked the start of a not-so-secret love affair with this gorgeous country. Indeed, on a hot September day that took me walking in the hills and then swimming in the crystal clear waters of the Limmat, I discovered a particular soft spot for the city of Zurich. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Gay
The gorgeous lake Zurich as seen from Mount Uetliberg<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

With this same trip taking me at whiplash speed through Lausanne, Fribourg and Geneva, I am awaiting opportunities to travel deeper into the country. With a weekend getaway to Ticino pencilled in tentatively for early 2026, I am eyeing up the wilder, more mountainous parts – anyone for skiing and fondue?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking towards 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As we embark on the brave new year, I feel myself getting slightly itchy feet. Whole sections of the European continent that are thus far unknown to me. I open up Google Maps and look at the sunlit dreamlands of southern Europe. Italy, Spain and Greece – I’m start to dream about all the naughty things we could get up to there. Indeed, I start to think about sweet, sexy, sweaty summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, before summer rolls around I have a few trips planned, including a week in Spain at the end of February and potentially an Amsterdam weekend just a month after. I may even be returning to Switzerland sometime then. If that coincides with your plans, why not reach out?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are other pipe dreams that I am manifesting for the year. I received a tip-off about The Belmond Venice Simplon-Orient Express one morning and then a fortnight later I saw it departing out the station. If that’s not a synchronicity, I don’t know what is. Take a look<\/a>. Truly a train that deserves our presence at least once, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you find yourself dreaming after reading all of that, why not reach out<\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Happy New Year, all. Here’s to us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
