10 minA 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.
- 48:17Money is an aphrodisiac—Tim argues that wealth sexually attracts people and makes properties and their owners inherently desirable.
- 49:19Tim insists he doesn't get turned on by architecture itself, only by the idea of being wealthy, raised rich, and good-looking in a safe private school world.
- 50:11The sexiness of a rich asshole from a good family—Tim claims their inherited bloodline and upbringing make them more appealing than their socioeconomic status alone.
- 51:25Tim explains he's drawn to rich people's experiences and exclusivity from elite enclaves, despite acknowledging those circles are actually boring.
- 53:04Working in Southampton catering—Tim worked photographing wealthy people for weddings after his boss, a good DJ and salesman, booked him without showing his portfolio.
- 53:46The real aphrodisiac is being part of elite circles you'll never enter—Tim says that exclusion itself is sexually compelling.
- 54:00Gang members are also an elite circle—Tim argues he's equally interested in sleeping with gang members and doesn't understand why that comparison bothers people.
- 54:49Rich people have boats and salesmen skills but aren't the most dynamic—Tim admits wealthy people are often dull despite their material advantages.
- 55:08Squash court encounter fantasy—Tim jokes about showing up overweight and greasy to a rich person's squash court and asking 'you like this ass?'
- 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.
