I'd also like to know about these providers in the L.A./southern California region. I've never seen him, but Sean Xavier's reviews and platitudes would seem to indicate that he'd be perfect for this scene. But he appears to either have no one set home base, or he operates mostly out of D.C. https://rent.men/SeanXavier/#platinum

His English wasn't perfect in his ad (although that's not determinative by itself). But I also note that he listed his ethnicity as Mediterranean, which would correspond to his being from Spain, and thus match the identity of the model/trainer you found for his photos. If he anticipates only American clients, then it's not necessarily indicative of deception that he'd market himself as speaking English, while also omitting Spanish. This could mean something or nothing.

Ditto. Please report back to us. I'd love to find out how it went. Also, if it's a good experience, please divulge the escort's name, although you may want to do that by private message. I'm excited for you!

I echo this sentiment. I had several amazing massage & scrub/shower combo sessions at Super Men's spa. Unfortunately, my 2 go-to masseurs have both left the spa, so I only go there every now and then for some manscaping.

But the larger point is that even if some of these men reciprocate after the fact, your description makes absolutely clear that none of them consent to the initial contact that you've initiated solely for your own sexual gratification. This retroactive consent that you believe you're receiving from the few men who reciprocate does not excuse your initial unrequested touching of all of these men. This isn't a special context like a bathhouse, darkroom, or other cruising spot where everyone is there looking for some sort of sexual experience and it's understood by all that bodily contact generally replaces verbal communication. What you're doing is wrong.

My RM profile doesn't contain photos, but the name suggests body type and indicates that I'm of color, as does the text that describes what I'm looking for. I can only guess that to be the reason for the strange response, but irrespective of the reason, Conner's conduct exhibited unprofessionalism and plain old lack of manners. Some escorts are true courtesans and treat all clients (prospective and consummated) well because they view this as their job or profession. Others may do so just because they're classy and respectful in all of their dealings, even if they view escorting as a fleeting side gig. Men of such character are hard to find in general, so when I find a good escort, I try to maintain that relationship. I'm grateful to the great guys I've found in this business who've enriched my life, as all good sex workers do.

I had a very strange experience with Conner. I e-mailed him on RM earlier this month with both a generic photo unlock request, and a separate message saying that I wanted to hire him in the next few days. I also followed up with a text. I didn't hear back from him until last night when he unlocked his RM photos with no other message. Then when I clicked on the link, his profile was inaccessible, meaning he blocked me. Conner and I have never met, nor even had an online conversation. So, such strange and inconsistent behavior on his part is bewildering, to say the least. I have my suspicions about his motives, but I'll keep them to myself for now. I've seen Only Viking, SgtFun, and NYC Viking. My experience with the first was okay, good with the second, and very good with the third. You can message me for details if you'd like. Good luck!

What a mean, nasty thing to say! Why are we so horrible to each other?

I found Randy. He's at https://rent.men/RandyHardenXXX. I think William's ad is expired because no spelling of his name returns a hit when I search on RM.

I know the other two, but is there a link for Randy Harden? I didn't find a review for him. FYI, for the OP, Mike Austin's link is at https://rent.men/MikeAustin. I can't find William Ericsson's ad on RM anymore but he could never be mistaken for a Goldilocks anyway. :-)

I agree. Not so much with the notion that an escort's sexual activities with others (in private or business) are necessarily any business of the prospective client. But this is an entirely different context. The whole point of an ad is to market the services one offers to clientele in order to convince them to hire that provider. It's confusing, to say the least, for an escort to post pics and/or videos of certain activities on his ad if those activities are never included in the services offered to the clients. One could even go so far as to say that it's deceptive and manipulative. That being said, just cheking the "safe only" box isn't particularly helpful, nor is it all that definitive, because there's no such thing as "safe sex," but only "SAFER sex," and what constitutes the latter is open to multiple interpretations. That's why it's important to discuss safer sex practices with all sexual partners, not just escorts, to determine the level of risk with which one is comfortable. We should also keep in mind that just because an escort advertises a particular activity, or is known to participate in it from porn or other media, doesn't mean that he will insist that his clients also partake in that. Several years ago I met with BB porn star Peto Coast, and not only was he perfectly fine with using condoms, but he supplied his own extra large preferred brand, checked on me several times throughout the session, and replaced with new condoms multiple times. It was an in-call session, so the fact that he kept such ample supplies on hand leads me to believe that accommodating safer sex practices was his standard operating practice. IMHO, he went above and beyond to respect my limits, and make me feel safe and comfortable.

I haven't met Wade, but he came across as very respectful and friendly in our communications. I contacted him earlier this year when I was planning a trip to Calgary for its Comic Con in April. Those plans didn't materialize, but he was very professional about the aborted visit. Our interaction certainly didn't diminish my desire to eventually meet with him.

Thanks again. I'll keep him in mind for my next trip to the mid-Florida area.

Thanks. Is the upsell to full service a la carte, or flat rate (as in his massage rate is x, so his full service rate is 2x or x plus y)? Feel free to private massage if you feel it's inappropriate to provide the rate on the thread. I regularly visit family in Florida, so it'd be nice to know this guy's around and available when I'm in town.

Where are these rough trade locations uptown and in the Bronx of which you speak?

I'd be interested in that kind of packaged experience (massage that turns into an escort session). Does Paolo have a separate escort ad? What's the rate for the escort service?

I agree. Welcome to the forum @Romani . I look forward to reading your contributions, as others will too, I'm sure.

I completely agree. Whenever I hire an escort for the first time for more than just a wham-bam, I almost always spend at least half of that initial meeting just talking because I need that to relax and get comfortable for an intimate session. Sometimes that level of full comfort and ease doesn't happen until the 2nd or 3rd time we meet, assuming I felt that there was some kind of spark or potential during the 1st session. So, depending on what you want, don't put too much stock into how well you click at that 1st meeting. Rather, look for signs or indications of the deeper qualities that you seek, and which can develop over time. And as long as you're upfront with the escort about what you want (and that it's your first time, of course), assuming he's a consummate professional, he should be able to guide you through it and minimize the discomfort and awkwardness.

He used to appear as one of the dancers/strippers at the Adonis Lounge in NYC, under the name "Chris." He also had an ad on rentmen for a while. I never hired him, but he's quite handsome in person.

What's the premium price that he charges? I've noticed the past few months that some visiting escorts are starting to quote $350 as their starting hourly fee, which is significantly above the now-standard $300/hr rate for NYC-based guys. I chalked it up to the exorbitant cost of visiting this city, particularly hotel rates. Is this guy seeking that new visitor rate, or does he charge beyond even that? I agree that a guy charging really high rates had better deliver the highest quality experience.

I've got 2 lined up already, but was looking to book 1 or 2 more. That's partly as an insurance against a last minute cancellation, but I'm also being kind of indulgent. Hey, I'm free, single, (relatively) young, and it's that time of year! ;-)

A little overkill, huh? :-) Sorry, guys. I guess it's a nice problem to have that I live in the most plentiful metro area for male escorts, and I have such broad, diverse tastes in men. What an embarrassment of riches! God, I love being gay!!!!!

I just asked about him in my NYC 411 thread. If someone also offers some information about him by private conversation, I'll let you know if you send me a follow-up message.

My original post asked mostly about escorts of the fairer-skinned variety. So here are a few delicious-looking chocolate and caramel flavored pros. If some forum members could share their personal experiences with any of these guys (here or by private conversations), I'd be much obliged. Thanks in advance, gentlemen. https://rent.men/Holemassager https://rent.men/Blackretreat https://rent.men/DaddyDaro/#platinum (he looks especially scrumptious!) https://rent.men/Kadufromrio https://rent.men/Trevor_Long (he appears to be new to RM this month, so asking about him here is probably a long shot) https://rent.men/DominicanoNYhung (looks like he's also very new to RM) https://rent.men/Cabeto https://rent.men/Bigtopboysxxl https://rent.men/BLKMASCBBC https://rent.men/MisterArabia https://rent.men/Sexyfunguy https://rent.men/MARCELOINUSA https://rent.men/TOParabSTUD And this guy's not brown or mixed, but I just love his profile name: https://rent.men/Oxfordcomma

I've never had occasion to travel to those areas, but I'm certainly not averse to those types of guys. If I ever pass through those locales, I'll keep them in mind as an option, but I wouldn't have the 1st clue as to how to make that fantasy a reality.
