For providers who bottom, which do you prefer?  Small dick because it is easy to handle, or big dick for more fun?

It depends on the client.  Small is definitely easier to handle but if it's big as long as the client takes his time initially and doesn't try to ram it in then big can be enjoyable.

I'm surprised people wants to hire during the Christmas period. I'd wait until January when the madness is over. 

What about those who don't have family in the area or are alone during the season?  Some of them also want companionship.

I hope though you don't tell your family you can't come to a family xmas function to take a client instead. I have worked places where I was able to get pretty much unlimited overtime at this time of year but I realized money is not the be all end all and it was important to have some downtime and make time for family.

Actually when hired my family knows.  I typically spend the day with family and then take bookings for late afternoon evening of Christmas Day.  Christmas Eve I seem to always get one booking by someone who is alone without family on Christmas Eve.   I've found even before escorting when I danced at a strip club for a few years Christmas Eve and evening of Christmas Day I'd be working.  My family has gotten used to it.

I'm interested in both provider and client views on bookings on the Christmas Eve/  Day  timeframe.   I am always ask if I will do it and I did on Christmas Eve for a couple of years,  but now feel I need time with my friends and family.    Most client's understand.   When I have been booked on the "Eve",   clients were generally very gracious and generous in their tips.

The end of the year tends to be very busy anyway,  so I now tend to think of the two day holiday timeframe as "my time".    Thoughts on this and for those clients,  how do you approach the holiday?

If someone wants to book me on Christmas Eve/Day I am always willing.   While it's nice to be with friends and family during the holiday making some money is also important too I find.

I’m a pre cummer. The minute my cock gets hard it is usually followed by pre cum. Most providers don’t care but I’ve notice a few won’t suck me off. Mostly young guys. Some of course find it hot. Providers - what are your thoughts?

First at least for myself I bring along flavored lube exactly for this purpose, it helps mask the taste of pre-cum if there is any.  Second unless a provider discusses beforehand that they won't suck off the client then if the client wants it the provider should make sure the client is happy.  If a provider knows they need to use something like flavored lube then they should bring it along and preferably let the client know ahead of time.  Most clients I've spoken with don't mind if it helps me.    

Mid Atlantic Leather, it takes place over MLK weekend in Washington, DC.  In the past there has been a forum meetup that weekend in the DC area, typically lunch/brunch on one of the days and potential other planned meetups/gatherings that weekend.  Some people attend Mid Atlantic Leather since it's that weekend or go to the vendor mart there but some people also just come for the meetup.  I have some ideas for this year if we can get some interest.

Bump...

Anyone interested in trying to bring this back?

There used to be escort agencies around that handled the meetings, etc. I used them a few times. They were fine. I am not surprised if there are talent management companies for this on RM. It exists for everything else, e.g. Airbnb rentals, etc., so not surprising in the least. 

There are still agencies, I work for one but its a more diverse range of services from dancers to escorts they provide.  I provide them my weekly schedule and they do the rest.  While it's nice when I handled booking on my own I don't have to worry about a cut of the profits being taken.

Do you escorts lose clients for not wanting to have unprotected sex? I want to know how you feel about it. 

First let me start by saying that using protection is important but of course not all clients want to have protected sex so what do we do as an escort, lose the money or comply?  I feel that as an escort it's our job to cater as much as possible to the client needs.  We need to be ready and potentially assume some risk.  Each escort will make their own decisions and shouldn't be shamed for their decision.  While there is PrEP and Doxy PeP neither are 100% effective I have made the decision that as an escort its a necessary tool to take these.  Furthermore I don't want to turn away any clients within reason so if they want unprotected sex I want to make sure that on my end I am taking the precautions to protect myself.  Yes there is risk as an escort but I understand the risks and want to make sure I can offer clients as much of me as I can.

Just curious if an escort as ever come across this when you see your client is as hot as you or more so that you pass on the fee and just go at it for fun.  

While it's nice to have a good looking client it doesn't change the fact that I am doing this work to support myself.  Time is money and if I were to give freebies away to everyone that looked good then I'd be broke.

Escorts/Providers:

I was thinking it would be nice to put together a calendar to help support this site.  I can easily build one that can be linked and sold through the site.  What do we need to do?  Those that want to be included in the calendar would submit a photo to be used.  I'm thinking this could be a 2024 calendar.  Nudity is allowed too.  Let me know if there is any interest in this and let's organize.

To the providers, how long does it take you to get ready to bottom for a client? 
 

I was supposed to have an 8am session with a provider this morning, but he overslept and said he needed only 10 minutes to get ready. That seemed kind of fast to me! 

To be safe I'd say at least a 1/2 hour to get ready.  Unless he was already up and getting ready.

I was dancing at a now defunct gay strip club and got requests from customers to meet them outside of the club.  I found I liked it and the extra money so I continued.

I can definitely see how the business can be traumatic, and tragic for some people who don't have a good head on their shoulder or any mentors to help them navigate the industry as a whole.  

Having experience dancing in clubs (Canada and U.S.), live events in addition to private client sessions, I've seen the greenest of boys join the ranks of "escort" only to flush their lives down the toilet with drugs, regrets and no direction in their lives.

I was one of the lucky ones, I had mentors who were regulars at the Gaiety pulling in ridiculous cash who, just as I was getting into escorting, were getting out to pursue business ventures, some with clients they built relationships with.  I had these guys to help figure out the industry which was a huge bonus. I never got into the drugs, it seemed counter-productive from a business standpoint, both in club and with clients. I suppose age matters but again, if you're armed with a solid network of veteran providers, it mitigates any potential issues regardless of age.

Question to those providers reading this: Have you ever been contacted by a green provider looking for advice?

I always am open to working with younger green providers and have been contacted by some.  After my own experiences I want to make sure they know how to stay safe and avoid being in harmful situations.  As I have learned in this industry some customers unfortunately see escorts more as a commodity or object to do what they want and will unfortunately take things into their own hands.  I learned from having a drink with a client, passing out and then waking up to being restrained and barebacked as I stated above.  I feel it's important to make sure that those coming in are safe.

Honestly I've found the hardest part of being a provider is family and friends that know what I am doing.  While I don't go out of my way to tell friends and family that I am a provider or work in the adult industry my photo is out there some with me baring all.  I've had a talk with some family and let them know I am safe and that I do this because I want to and not because I am forced to but they still have concern.  

For a one hour appoint probably about 25% of the time or about 20-25 minutes would be anal based on my experiences.

Escorting in and of itself isn't traumatic.  Experiences encountered while escorting are what can be traumatic.  At least for me the traumatic experiences have come from overly aggressive and pushy clients typically.  My most traumatic experience though was when I first started escorting.  The client wanted me to bareback which I wasn't comfortable doing.  We were having some drinks and I blacked out.  He ended up barebacking me when I was blacked out.  I learned from that experience.

On a typical week I will see 2 - 3 clients in a week.  On a holiday like NYE or Christmas I might see 2 clients in a day.

I guess it depends on where you live and the circumstances.  Many cities themselves have decriminalized escorting.

Seeing escorts is little like getting dates. 
It's a job for them.

So they often see men whom they may not fuck in their personal lives.

Individual providers would differ, but generally speaking most wouldn't discriminate in terms of service due to race and/or ethnicity. Money is money, and the more people they see, the better for them.  Though some guys don't get hard when bottoming.

Just chalk this up to bad experience. It happens. Sometimes doing this is luck of the draw, but then it's the same in most other pleasure pastimes. 

Exactly.  As an escort I see myself as an entertainer.  It's a job.  Customers will hire me to provide entertainment whether it's just talking or sexual.  If we do engage in sexual contact then it's to entertain the customer, not necessarily because I am attacted the the customer that has hired me.  Also keep in mind that as escorts we typically have our escort persona and our regular persona so who you are hiring might not be the same outside of when you are meeting them.

I wanted to see if providers considered it rude to ask whether they are available on holidays (Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas Eve and day, New Year’s Eve and day, etc.). Not everyone celebrates the same holidays and I don’t celebrate most of them. I’m happy to pay a premium for holiday services. I just don’t want to offend by asking if this is considered inappropriate. 

I work when customers want to see me.  If a customer wants to see me on Christmas Eve/Day then I'll meet them then.  Getting into this line of work I understand that it's not a 9-5 job but if I want to make money I need to be available when the customers want me.

Ear plugs are an option but since they are paying I put up with it for the time.

$200.00 guaranteed is my vote.

Every 3rd Saturday of the month.  I won't be there every month but yes and it's been ongoing.
