Any info on this apparently new provider, guys? He seems right up my alley! Pun intended https://rent.men/Thiiley

I think he's phased himself out over the past year or so. I had a great session with him in the summer of 2017, right before I underwent a major surgery, so I was out of commission for a long time after that. Once I was back in form last year, we made plans to reconnect, but that didn't happen because he uncharacteristically went incommunicado the day of our scheduled appointment and didn't respond to any of my follow-up messages over the next few days. (Due to the prior amazing experience, I was willing to see him again, despite that last-minute ghosting.) Right around that time I noticed that his ad would be listed as expired for long periods, and I believe it's been expired now for the better part of this year. The above led me to conclude that Junior is likely done with this biz, and has been working towards that for a while now. I hope that's not true, because he was quite good as a sex worker and came across as a really nice guy too. Definitely the type you'd bring home to mother, as the saying goes (or at least I would). I'd still love to see him again, but if he's no longer a pro, I wish him nothing but the best going forward.

I had a similar issue for a medication that wasn't related to sexual activity or function. My understanding, based on the pharmacist's explanation, was that it's rather common for insurance companies to just exclude compounded medications. I'm unsure why, but I take it that this is kind of the default rule, unfortunately.

I'm not entirely sure of whom you're speaking here. I say that because there was an Ali at Super Men's spa last year who became one of my 2 faves there. He was a younger slender man from Turkey, he said. Much to my regret, this Ali stopped working at SMS and I've heard nothing further about him since late last year (I never got his contact info). If this Ali is the same guy who may have returned to SMS, then I highly recommend him. I've no knowledge of any other Ali who may be there now.

What on earth does this mean?

We already know that he's real based on the responses from forum members in this thread who've met him. I suggest you send private messages to @cmennow , @Trick , and @Niles for more info, since they seem to have had varied experiences with Horsekok. Best of luck!

It's definitely understandable that the substantive content restrictions based on SOSTA/FOSTA fears would make the reviews not only less valuable to many, but also mor difficult to write. But that's spilt milk at this point. Clients with better writing skills will adjust, and those with a more discerning reader's eye will still gain something from even the less-detailed and sanitized reviews. But perhaps, given the new limitations' obvious and foreseeable effect on review submissions, the site could endeavor to make everything else concerning reviews as simple and user-friendly as possible. People in this thread have complained about the new fields being too plentiful, confusing and unhelpful. So maybe the admins could consider paring those down some. Also, maybe allow reviews of escorts using their preferred stage names as listed in their ads or profiles, instead of insisting on a stage name that can pass for a traditional real name. If the review process contains additional inconvenient steps like this, it's only more likely to whittle away participation, at least on the margins. Just my 2 cents...

I'm sorry if this comes off as a hijacking of your thread. But it's possible that your reviews haven't been published because of the rule requiring that reviews use a stage name that sounds more like a real name (think "Baby Blond" vs. "Sam"). One of the moderators recently said on another thread that this has always been the rule since back in the days of Hooboy (Daddy's predecessor), but I doubt it was strictly enforced (or interpreted that way) back then because I remember reading plenty of reviews of providers with regular profile or stage names that couldn't pass for real names. Other forum members have privately confirmed to me that this rigid interpretation and/or enforcement of said rule is of relatively recent vintage. If this is why your reviews have been been rejected, then all you've got to do is provide a real sounding name for the escort, assuming he is okay with that. One of my regulars asked that I not identify him except by the stage name used in his RM profile, so my positive review on Daddy's never got published. To him, that was worth the tradeoff. If the escort lists a regular name in the body of his ad, then there's nothing wrong with providing that in a review. But if escorts don't do that, and are uncomfortable with giving any stage name besides the one used as their ad profile name, then we should respect that.

Yep. Some guys are catty like that for no apparent reason. After I'd contacted one particular provider (ConnerBKN on rentmen) to book an appointment, he took the time to also grant my request to see his private photos. It turns out that he had actually blocked me, and he likely just granted the photo request to ensure that I'd see that he'd blocked me. As in your situation, we'd had no negative interactions before that. Sometimes folks are just mean and you'll never know why. View this scenario as his loss, and not as a reflection on you as a client.

Please do. He looks superb. I hope you have a great experience!

Again, I want to be you when I grow up!

Deposits of any kind are a no-no except for those extended sessions which are for an overnight, weekend, or trips. I’ve only had one escort ask for a deposit in advance of a regular hour-long session, but he explained that he did so only for new clients because he’d been burned in the past. He was polite and receptive to my hesitation, however, and he then agreed to proceed without the deposit after speaking with me on the phone. (Id contacted him several weeks in advance of a planned visit to his city.) he never knew that I’d already decided that I would acquiesce to his request because other forum members had attested to his quality, and also because he’s friends with (and often works with) another excellent escort whom I’d seen a few times before. Although I don’t know this for sure, I suspect that he may have felt more comfortable with me because I mentioned his colleague and my participation as a forum member and reviewer. Perhaps he did his own due diligence on me based on that. I understand why some escorts might prefer to receive payment at the beginning of a session. It’s been my personal experience, though, that those sessions have never been good, but not because the request caused tension or ruined the mood. It sucks to say this, but those escorts with whom I’ve met who’ve made such requests were typically of inferior quality. Conversely, the best escorts almost never ask for upfront payment. That’s been my personal experience, but it also seems to reflect the consensus of nearly all seasoned forum members for as far back as I can remember (well over a decade, at least). So, my rule is not to hassle over paying upfront when asked, but to simply go through with the session and then note that I’ll never hire that escort again unless he delivers a fantastic experience. To date, that’s never happened.

He atttended the Adonis Lounge special events in NYC during Pride Weekend at the end of June. Sometimes he’ll be listed in the promotional e-mails for the Los Angeles events.

I want to be you when I grow up! To the OP’s query, with respect to my home base area, I hire a few times a year, probably closer to a frequency of about every month or two. But I hire much more profusely when I travel. I’d ideally like to hire once or twice a month while at home, though.

I'm glad you weren't ripped off, and that you enjoyed your session with Rory.* But you're actually gushing over the fact that he did the right thing, particularly when, in this context, that "right thing" is the absolute bare minimum -- honoring a client's deposit by simply showing up. I think folks are taken aback because, generally speaking, it's expected that we gush over someone who went above and beyond the norm to please us, not someone who didn't swindle us via the very means that he forced upon us as a condition of doing business with him. *Seriously, I am sincerely happy for you. I've been cheated in this biz before and it really hurts, so I'm glad Rory didn't do that to you. I also know how valuable and affirming it can be when a professional sex worker imparts a positive experience on a client. So, I'm glad for you on both fronts.

Never seen him, but I Buddy Listed him a while back. Interestingly, his ad is expired, but as of this morning (Monday 9/30/19) the site shows him as having last logged on 10 hours ago. His most recent reviewer also states that he wouldn’t recommend him, but, strangely also gave him 4 out of 5 stars (which, IMHO, is still a good rating), bringing Jason’s average down to 4.88 out of 5 stars. I’d see him if I ventured out to D.C. and if his ad was still active so that his contact info was still accessible.

Oh, hell to the mother-f***ing no!!! He must have fallen and bumped his head!

I know that, and I, of course, sympathize with the sticker shock that many non-New Yorkers have when they see what the natives are paying for stuff here. I'm asking specifically what this escort's rate is. I only want to know whether his rate is crazy even by NYC's standard, or if it just seems outlandish to these posters because it's way out of line for the markets/areas in which they live or are accustomed.

What is this crazy rate you guys keep tip-toeing around? $300/hour has been about standard in NYC for the last several years now. Is he asking for significantly more than that?

I sympathize with @MscleLovr's hesitation on ID'ing the scammer. My experience on this forum also has been that, generally, warnings have been welcomed much less favorably than commendations. My own recent experience isn't about an actual warning, but is somewhat illustrative of the point. A few months ago, I responded to a 411 inquiry by relaying that an escort and I had to cut our session short due to what seemed like poor chemistry, but I thought he was a nice guy and I appreciated his professionalism in offering to not take his fee (I still paid him half, though). A poster here took that as negative, and suggested I had unrealistic expectations for our session, even though I hadn't even said anything about what I'd hired the escort for, or whether there was any particular type of scene that we attempted to get into. So, yeah, folks get defensive of escorts here and will often overreact to commentary that isn't necessarily glowing, much less when it's an actual critique. To the other point mentioned earlier in this thread about somewhat nerdy escorts who're into comic books and with whom one might be able to engage in interesting conversations over dinner or an extended BFE, I'd recommend http://rent.men/ShermanMaus. I believe he's also a forum member, or at least he used to be, although I don't recall his exact handle. I've met with him a few times, both in his homebase of L.A. and when he's visited NYC. He's a really sweet guy, who's also into comics and graphic novels. If you have similar tastes, then he could be ideal for conversation of that sort.

FYI, Cord's ad is here: https://rent.men/Cord

Mike Austin's newer pics on his RM ad show him as unclipped and display a decent amount of body hair. He's not a bear by any means, but I wouldn't say that hairy is an incorrect description either. I believe a recent thread indicated that William Ericsson's ad had vanished again. He is very hairy, affectionate, and into kissing. He'd be perfect for what the OP seeks, if he's still active. I would have recommended William if I thought he was still in the biz. I've never met with Cord, but his ad makes for a rather attractive overall package. I'd love to see him myself, and the OP may wish to give him a try. I don't recall any forum discussions about Cord, though, so that's why I didn't recommend him. I'm glad others here also find him sexy.

I concur that Brian is a great kisser. I was wary of speaking too much in the 1st person in describing him, lest I get flagged for posting a review in the forum. Someone mentioned Victor Racek earlier. I think Victor Racek is super sexy, but discussions on these boards leave me with the impression that he's not exactly affectionate, nor an enthusiastic kisser. I've never met him though.

I haven't been with the first 2 of the guys below, but based on their reviews and forum discussions, I'd guess that they fit the bill for what you seek. https://rent.men/thedudenextdoor https://rent.men/MikeAustin https://rent.men/HungBNYC I actually met with Brian (HungB) earlier this year. He's not, in my opinion, a twink, although others could view him that way due to his thin build and relative youth (listed age is 30). I found him to be very sweet and gentle, despite his size (not humongous, but well above average). He's quite tall (about 6'5") and lists kissing and being affectionate among his interests and attributes.

I concur. We'd need you to provide much more detail on your tastes in order to offer suggestions on the "hottest" masseurs in NYC. That being said, have you tried doing an advanced search on rentmasseur.com, and then filtering for the specific traits you find to be "hot"? That often works for me on its sister site rent.men, although it doesn't filter for as many detailed physical traits as the now defunct RB site used to. I hope this helps.
