Medin

I haven't seen that very much. In the Midwest the average is about $150. I've seen a few in the $200 range but that is usually more of an escort rate.

Looks like TurkishdelightY decided to get into porn. He is a new model on Sean Cody. https://www.queermenow.net/blog/jason-emre-seancody-gay-porn-axel-rockham/ https://rent.men/TurkishDelightY I did end up meeting him in December. Really nice guy. Would probably repeat.

I know Joe fairly well and have recommended him to a couple of guys in San Diego from this site who contacted me after seeing my post. They both hired him and said he was amazing. I think tomorrow is his last day in SD if you want to see him.

He's a young kid that has no idea what he's doing. He joined in October using that name but several months earlier he used another. He quoted me $250 for full service in late October. He lives with roommates so can rarely host. That's all I know because I decided we weren't a good match.

Agreed. Thanks everyone.

It looks like this guy is back again. https://rent.men/CassJu

Bump. New face-at least for the Detroit area. Don't remember ever seeing him in the past.

I just met Jorge for the first time. He's a great guy with a killer body and gives a very erotic massage. I think he has all five star reviews and now I understand why. I will definitely be a repeat customer.

Looks great. You can never go wrong with a John Kanell recipe. The only recipe of his that I found to be just mediocre was his double-chocolate chip cookies. Everything else has been excellent.

Here is an excellent key lime pie recipe that has never failed me-and no key limes needed. https://www.onceuponachef.com/recipes/key-lime-pie.html

Sure, but if you are only working a few hours/week, wouldn't that be considered more of a hobby and not a profession? It's hard to compare to those doing this as a side hustle. I don't follow your math. One client/day still equates to $109k/year which is still decent money compared to the average American salary and it's all tax free. These guys are not doing it to make the equivalent of $1.78/hour.

I could name several in this thread who appear to be.

No I didn't. As I said "on a forum made up largely of gay men"-not all. I doubt we have too many people on this forum with their heads buried in the sand and even fewer who think they are a "victim of predetermined destiny". There seems to be a lot of confusion between sexual orientation and lifestyle. There may be fluidity in both, but they are not the same.

I always start with RM messaging. If the provider won't even provide the basics (availability, rate, etc), then I won't switch to texting. To me a message via RM is an icebreaker. Get the basics out of the way first and if it appears we are a match, I will continue via text if they want. To those providers who insist it's just too much work to look at their RM app...give me a break. At $300/hour, I think people in most professions would be more than happy to look at their messages a few times per day. I have to respond to about a thousand emails and texts every day in my career and don't make anywhere close to $300+/hour. I'm sure I'm not alone.

Who would have thought that in 2023 we are still debating whether sexual orientation is "chosen" or not-especially on a forum which is made up largely of gay men. I keep having to remind myself I'm not on a website run by the Family Research Council or Westboro Baptist Church.

True, but I'm sure there are plenty of guys on this forum who remember Jerry Falwell, Anita Bryant and the whole list of other bigots that made life Hell for so many.

It's not that uncommon actually. I've seen that several times and always wonder why they bother creating the profile if there is no way to contact them. I assume they like the thought of knowing thousands of guys are checking out their pics. Maybe one of the providers on here can explain it.

This guy is an excellent power bottom. https://rent.men/Eliat. Sweet, nice guy as well. He looks less like a twink in person so he may fit your requirements.

It's shocking on this board to see so many people talking about "choice". Who chooses their sexual orientation? Do you wake up one day, sit down at the breakfast table when you are about 5 years old and make the decision with Mom & Dad? How you "choose" to live your life is a different situation. We are in our infancy in regards to genetics. One of the first big studies was done by Dr. Dean Hammer at the NIH back in the early nineties if I remember correctly. My partner at the time was a participant with his brother. It was later found to have some flaws but set the groundwork for future studies; one of which was released a few years ago. Even if scientists were able to prove the genetic component with 100% certainty, many Americans wouldn't believe it anyway and we have the recent COVID epidemic as proof of Americans' distrust of science. You can blame the right for that-not a bunch of liberal activists.

I don't unfortunately. I'm a frequent visitor to Mexico City but don't remember seeing his profile in the past so assume he is new for this location.

Not a chance. I agree with the others....time to move on.

Good question. I don't know why either, but he has been around for years so wouldn't make too much of it.

I have met Holisticos and he does offer other services. Nice guy so feel free to ask him.

Yeah, he's been around for while now. I haven't met him but have heard only positive things. Let us know how it goes.

$350 is on the low side? Maybe on the coasts, but in the heartland that is actually on the high end.
