A long rant on why wealth and rich people turn Tim on more than physical traits, riffing on private school kids, tennis, boats, wanting to be dominated by a rich gang member, and eventually landing on a real steakhouse called Butcher and Banker built inside a bank vault as the peak of gauche NYC wealth.

In this bit10 moments

  • 56:17Tim insists if he goes to a racquetball court to get fucked, he's getting fucked—not putting in extra effort or becoming a 'switch' in the sexual dynamic.
