    Simon Suraci reacted to FLFunSized in Jamie in London!   
    Because he deserves his very own thread, I’m going to gush. I had the pleasure of meeting @Jamie21  this week during a visit to London. I’ve been wanting to meet him for a while since stalking watching his videos and following him here. What an amazing and intuitive man. He was easy to communicate with and even willing to provide some special requests. His studio is warm and inviting, it felt like a warm hug. MT was thankfully not a problem! His hands are magical and he knew right where to put them and how much pressure to provide. I know I’m fanboying on him but he is seriously the best. Definitely one of the top 10 things to do in London!

    Wait a minute…..
    @pubic_assistanceis extremely blunt (and at times intentionally obnoxious 😎), but at the least, he is universally fair and operates on logic. 
     
    Why can’t he call the men who hire escorts and masseurs “old” and “fat”, when the same guys will be on this forum critiquing escorts and masseurs for having the smallest “flaws” in their appearance? 
     
    Nothing cracks me up more than seeing wrinkly, old, and fat coots in the forums ripping escorts and masseurs to shreds on their appearance : “Oh, he's gained a few pounds…”, “The structural alignment of his cheekbones are off… don’t hire.” “He’s a fraud, his dick measures at 8.36 inches and not the 9 inches advertised.” 
    The thought that many of these men literally look like the embodiment of Lindsey Graham naked (with ladybugs and all) , yet can dish out the critiques, but can’t take it. 
     
    Hipocrisy is a stench that permeates sites like this. That’s for sure.

    Simon Suraci reacted to SecretProvider in You paid for an hour. It peaked in 30 mins. Now what?   
    Follow the lead of the client.  Look for body queues as to what it is they want. For eg. If they get up and get dressed, I mirror that energy. If they get up to do after sex pee, I stay as is, and encourage a cuddle, but if they then start getting dressed - so do I. I never start 'packing up' until the client does. 
    Yeah sometimes the energy in the air is 'i want this guy out so I can get on with my day now'. Some guys as soon as they blow their load - it is over. they start thinking about their wives, and guilt comes in. The session was purely about sex and nothing more. Others are craving intimacy and connection, and pillow talk is a big part of that.You have to learn to be acutely aware of what they are wanting. Often client will not come out and say it, we have to read body language. 
    This is SO IMPORTANT. Sometimes I worry that clients think I am stalling or trying to stretch time out, but in truth - I am building up tension, sussing out what they are interested in REALLY, learning a bit more about them, looking to find things in common. I am not a clock watcher, the hour is over whenever it naturally ends (within reason) - but the ice breaking at the beginning always leads to a better session.

    A smart practitioner immediately goes into “cuddle, afterglow, touch” mode.
    At the same time he needs to be aware if the client is sending out clear “time to leave” vibes.
    An escort that overstays his welcome is as annoying as one who leaves too early.
    Which is which? That’s up to the ever changing moon, chemistry, and fickle clients. 
    Nobody ever said the job was easy…..

    This thread is not long for this world - an example of one of the many reasons I don’t care to participate anymore. The irony is utterly lost here.
    Thank you to all the good clients and quiet lurkers who appreciate what I and other providers have to say, and those choosing not to contribute to all the problematic behavior. I’ve met many of you in person and can confirm this community has many good people in it. It’s too bad the rotten apples spoil the barrel. Some of those bad apples are providers too. It goes both ways.
    I have a voice, and I am willing to share it with those who want to listen. Going forward, it will be on my own terms, on my own platform, without censorship, or anyone saying that I can’t call a spade a spade. No clowns tolerated; I will suffer neither b***** nor fools. You will hear about it once it’s ready. Meanwhile, I have a living to make and a tour to complete.
    I hope for the sake of all you who value this special place on the internet, that the moderators take this opportunity to look inward, to consider what kind of community they really want this to be and make changes to steer the ship in that direction. Maybe it isn’t really a place for providers to participate. Maybe it is. Maybe it’s truly a review platform with consistent criteria for clients to post more meaningful commentary and data points. It’s been since 2023 we were expecting such a review style platform to launch. Guess that isn’t happening.
    Whichever direction the site administrators and moderators decide they want it to go, CoM can’t continue in a healthy way as it has been. It’s a fools errand for contributors to demand providers spend their time and energy here (for free) for the benefit of strangers on the internet, many of whom mock and ridicule us in return. This is my last piece of unsolicited advice. If you privately want my input, maybe some ideas to make positive changes, you know where to find me.
    I’m done casting pearls to swine. It’s too bad some of the very good people will miss out because the loudest voices in the room are deafening squeals.
    For now, good bye, and good luck.

    Perhaps strange if you base that simply on him being the same man running both ads, but it's totally understandable if his aim is to keep a firewall between the two types of service. In that way he establishes firm boundaries between his massage and escort services.
    He's said in effect, 'This is what I offer in my massage services', and that anything he might do in any other professional capacity, or that he might do in his private life is off the table completely (pun intended). It prevents any 'give an inch, take a mile' dynamic that a client might want to pull off. Whether any of us agree that his division between what he does and what he does not do is reasonable, is immaterial, he gets to decide.

    Why do providers not post on The Company of Men? I’m not sure anyone here has the emotional bandwidth or attention span for my response to this question.
    I took a step back for many personal reasons. I’d rather hear first from clients why you think so few of us contribute.
    When anyone values my opinion on a particular topic, feel free to ask. Tag me, I’ll see the alert, and respond on the boards when I have time.

    One of the reasons I stay here. To share my experience:  There’s no correlation between being physically attractive and being sexy in bed. None whatsoever. Being sexy is about having self confidence, empathy and intuition. Plus some humour, intelligence and communication skills. 

    The other misconception is that it’s mostly closeted ‘unattractive’ guys that hire. My experience is all sorts of guys hire.

    @KensingtonHomois 1000% correct and you @BOZO T CLOWN are one of, if not THE worst offenders in these forums as far as contributing to the toxicity that keeps not only providers but I am sure other contributors away.

It’s a fools errand for contributors to demand providers spend their time and energy here (for free) for the benefit of strangers on the internet, many of whom mock and ridicule us in return. This is my last piece of unsolicited advice. If you privately want my input, maybe some ideas to make positive changes, you know where to find me.
    I’m done casting pearls to swine. It’s too bad some of the very good people will miss out because the loudest voices in the room are deafening squeals.
    For now, good bye, and good luck.

    This thread is not long for this world - an example of one of the many reasons I don’t care to participate anymore. The irony is utterly lost here.
    Thank you to all the good clients and quiet lurkers who appreciate what I and other providers have to say, and those choosing not to contribute to all the problematic behavior. I’ve met many of you in person and can confirm this community has many good people in it. It’s too bad the rotten apples spoil the barrel. Some of those bad apples are providers too. It goes both ways.
    I have a voice, and I am willing to share it with those who want to listen. Going forward, it will be on my own terms, on my own platform, without censorship, or anyone saying that I can’t call a spade a spade. No clowns tolerated; I will suffer neither b***** nor fools. You will hear about it once it’s ready. Meanwhile, I have a living to make and a tour to complete.
    I hope for the sake of all you who value this special place on the internet, that the moderators take this opportunity to look inward, to consider what kind of community they really want this to be and make changes to steer the ship in that direction. Maybe it isn’t really a place for providers to participate. Maybe it is. Maybe it’s truly a review platform with consistent criteria for clients to post more meaningful commentary and data points.

    Why do providers not post on The Company of Men? I’m not sure anyone here has the emotional bandwidth or attention span for my response to this question.
    I took a step back for many personal reasons. I’d rather hear first from clients why you think so few of us contribute.
    When anyone values my opinion on a particular topic, feel free to ask. Tag me, I’ll see the alert, and respond on the boards when I have time.
