History of slang: Blow job
History of slang: Blow job

An oral history   I can’t remember exactly when I first heard the term “blow job”, but it was one of the earlier ones to pass through my gentle ears. From the prudish to the worldliest, everyone knows what it means. But everyone has the same questions: “why ‘blow’”, and “why ‘job’?” Not long ago, […]

The Man Who Would Be King

Growing up in my family meant that I grew up in my father’s shadow. He created the company I now work in, he decided where we lived, where we vacationed, where we went to school, what roles we would have in the company. He decided it all. He would continue to decide until it was […]

The Perfect Fit

This Gentleman is an interesting fellow. He doesn’t live in the city but travels here often. His routine is exactly the same: he books time with one of us on a Friday evening (always a Friday), takes us shopping for a few new outfits, takes us to dinner, and ends the night relatively early. We […]

The Value of Beauty

What is the value of youth and beauty? I myself am a man of a certain age and I will admit that when I was younger, I did not value them the way that I should have. I didn’t understand how these two things really enhanced my life and I took them for granted. I […]

I had lived in Toronto for over a decade and knew nothing about my city. I’d been to concerts and games and even to some tourist attractions, but I had been too busy working to ever take in the city and enjoy it. In the past, any time I had time off, I booked a […]

“He felt like having sushi, so he took me to Japan”, will probably be the first sentence in my future memoir. The best part is that it’s true. I first met this Gentleman on a regular date. We went to dinner at one of the city’s best Japanese restaurants where he was apparently a regular; […]
One Day…(just not today)
One Day…(just not today)

There is a reason I have a Companion and not a wife. I was married. I had a lovely wife, three kids, a house, and a demanding job to pay for it all. Fifteen years in, I woke up one day completely dissatisfied with my life. I wasn’t unhappy, I was just not satisfied. I […]

#LiveForTheMoment

I was asked what’s the one thing a Gentleman should never do on a date and I said “live tweet it”. I love Twitter, and Instagram, and I still even have a Facebook account for my friends and family back home, but when we are out on date? Maybe I’m an old fashioned twentysomething, but […]

Have you ever wondered what we REALLY think of you? Are you worried about how you measure up to other Gentleman, or other men in our lives? We know you do. But you shouldn’t worry about that. I’m going to let you in on a secret: not every Gentleman we meet is going to be […]

Four’s Company

One of my favourite dates is to pair up with a Companion for a couples’ night out. Although we’ll never admit it to a couple, we can usually tell which one made the call. I love it when the Lady has made the call. There is just something about her taking the lead that extends […]
