Dick's Male Retirement Ranch
Set in the tropical splendour of Townsville in far north Queensland, 'Dick’s Male Retirement Ranch' is where aged care worker Ryan Russell heads to start a new job attending to the needs of the well-heeled single or widowed Jewish men with a common interest in male-to-male fucking and breeding, and a healthy interest in corporal punishment.
Ryan forms a close relationship with ranch owner Richard Charles, and after passing the three-stage audition process, he is offered the job on the understanding that the two golden ranch rules are - condoms are banned, and total nudity is always required.
There ensues a tale of steamy sex where every day is a boner bonanza, and the residents are more interested in what’s between a staff member’s legs than what’s between his ears.
Check in at reception, shed your clothes and inhibitions, fit your cock ring and sample everything Dick’s Male Retirement Ranch has to offer... In Series......
About Me
I am a 38-year-old, divorced man living in Melbourne, Australia ... for me, the greatest place on earth to live.
I had a happy upbringing, the middle child of three siblings. In all my childhood memories, I remember laughing and having fun. I was never an honours student, but I did OK. I finished my secondary education before enrolling at University, where I completed a Bachelor of Arts degree (majoring in journalism).
In order to help finance my studies, I took a part-time job with a company that handled music licensing for television and film production, a field that fascinated me.
I sucked it all up and, having learned what I thought was everything I needed to know about this profession, I moved to South Africa for several months in my late twenties. I was convinced that the South African film industry desperately needed someone with my unique talents. Turns out they didn't ...
I returned to Melbourne and started my own small company, which I continue to run today. We handle music clearances for producers of television series and movies here in Australia, and occasionally, further afield.
The way it works is ... a producer will decide what music excerpts he or she wants to use in a production, then gets me (or one of the few other people who do this kind of work here) to track down the copyright holders and (a) get copyright clearance and (b) negotiate a fee for usage.
Other times, the producer will send me rushes of what's been filmed, indicating where he wants music, and it's up to me to find something appropriate to fit the vision and the 'theme' of the scene.
It sounds more glamorous than it is! Next time you're sitting in a cinema with your popcorn and a 10-second music grab is used in a scene, just be aware that someone like me probably spent many weeks haggling over its use!
I became a parent at the age of 21 and I now share custody of my teenage son. He remains the most awesome person I have ever known; the greatest blessing in my very fortunate life.
When the original 'Love on the Rocks' was first published online, I was truly overwhelmed by the response to it from readers all over the world.
Its sequel has been a work-in-progress for the past two years, but 'Love on the Rocks - Five Years On' is finally finished!
Ty and Mike and all the characters from the original story are here, and you'll meet some loveable and delightful new members of the extended family as well.
I hope you'll agree it's been worth the wait!
