Yeah, I’ve been to a couple of the cumunion parties there, but not in a long time. I always enjoyed it. There’s a good selection of play spaces, and a nice range of guys. 

It was indeed a feature on men4rentnow.com. I would respond to many of those client posts, but I don't think I ever once got hired from one. I'd get appointments from the regular channels where the client would contact me, but not when it was a client posting looking for a provider.

Men4rentnow had a long, miserable decline. Terrible, dated user interface. Terrible customer service. I think it also became quite expensive at the end, which was counter to its awful UI. It pretty much put itself out of business.

On rentmen it is really useful when clients include in their profile what they are looking for. I'm not sure if that's what @DrownedBoy is referring to, but it helps to get a sense of what they want. I check the client profiles of who contacts me, or asks to see my private pics, but very few have much on their profiles. I wish more guys would use that feature!

I’ve met Magic Mike for photographs, and found him to be very friendly and engaging. We didn’t get intimate so I can’t speak to that. I’m not sure if he hosts at his place but it’s very nice and you won’t have the experience you had with the other provider. 

Word of warning (or encouragement as the case may be!): Magic Mike’s tool is gigantic. One of the biggest I’ve ever seen in person!

Seems like someone should have taken it already.

Well he’d certainly be the benchmark by which all others would be measured!

From time to time I’ll check in on the forums on adonismale.com. Plus there’s lots of eye candy there.

Well well well.. if guys like these are going to show up i am inclined to check this place out.

This was a very old flyer and never seen them at Spunk or Adonis.

The guy on the left I recognize from Chaturbate. His profile says he's in Colombia. https://chaturbate.com/mikey_sta/. His shows are sexy and he seems like a fun guy.

So far you're doing all the right things... you've posted your travel dates in your RM ad. I see you also posted a notice in the Traveling Providers section.

One thing I've found when traveling vs. at home is I get more live phone calls when traveling. At home I usually don't pick those up, but when traveling I've found these are often guys who are ready to set up an appointment. They know you're in town for a fixed amount of time and they want to get down to business. So if you have a block of available time and someone calls, it's worth picking up the call.

The other thing you could consider if you're wanting to establish yourself for future travel is signing up for a Rentmen sponsorship. I just tried it out for the first time last month and the number of guys checking out my listing has gone up significantly. Sure some are looky-loos, but others are for real and will remember you if you post a travel date in their city some time in the future. It's a hundred bucks but I think it's worth it.

@Coolwave35 has a great idea with the Adonis nude party. Talk about great exposure to prospective clients!

Don't escorts have to pay and verify with ID for those accounts?! If so, how to so many get away making fake accounts? 

Pay, yes. But verification of photos is optional.

Ha yes I just noticed that too! So yes, it’s been more than a while lol. 

It’s been a while since I got verified but I’m recalling something about receiving a code, writing it on a piece of paper, and sending a selfie back with the code on the paper. The other day I was looking at a guy’s profile and one of his photos had him holding the paper with the code, and it brought it back to mind. 

Maybe the guy just can’t be bothered to jump through those hoops? Does he at least have any reviews?

All of my clients are over 40. A good number are in their 70s and 80s. No upper limit. 

When I’m deciding to unlock or decline, age is not a factor, but other aspects of the client’s profile are. Biggest red flag is if they’ve posted several negative reviews, or it could be something in their description. 

Is there any possibility that there is something else in your profile that might give a provider pause?

Lots of guys have underwear fetishes, but the specifics of the fetish is all over the map. Enthusiasm for "tighty whities" is very common, and perhaps closest to what you describe.

When I was younger, the advertisements and department store catalogs for conventional underwear showed scenarios along the lines of what you describe, with guys just hanging around casually in their underwear. As a kid, I expected that that's what guys did together, like in the locker room. As an adult, I look back at those old advertisements and find them amusing, like really, guys just hanging around together in their underwear? Seriously?  Nowadays underwear advertisements and photos are way more sexualized. And of course nowadays in the locker room guys change into their underwear under their towels 🙄

Maybe do a image search for those vintage underwear ads, you might like what you see.

Welcome to the forum!

From a provider's experience, I can tell you that you are not alone. Lots of guys have a good sense of what they like, and what they don't like, and that's okay. It is not unusual for a client to tell me specifically what they like and what they don't like, and for guys I see regularly I know what's on the table and what's not. We're all wired a bit differently, and as others here have commented that wiring can change over time. But you're under no obligation to like what others like just because it is presented as a norm.

Blowjobs? HOT  Handjobs? HOT  Frotting? REALLY HOT

So whether you're seeking a provider or a hookup, that kind of specific direction can be really helpful. Don't be shy about what you like, this is supposed to be fun.

Is this the forum to pose questions to dancers, or is it only for escorts and masseurs?

I didnt c any posts by dancers in the "strip clubs" forum....

Hey @12is12, to my knowledge there aren't any dancers participating in this website, so you're unlikely to get responses either here or in the strip clubs forum. There are escorts and masseurs here, and I know at least one is skilled in modern dance, but none that I know that are exotic dancers or do lap dancing. For whatever reason those guys don't frequent these parts!

But there are guys here who know dancers, so if you ask your question maybe they would know, or could ask one of their dancer buddies.

I'd suggest proceeding as a bit of a mentor. You don't have to be over the top about it, but you can give him some gentle direction. The basics in setting up the appointment, and then during the appointment you may need to take the lead. Also negotiate the fee ahead of time, and if he waivers on that he may need some guidance.

A lot of us probably have stories to tell similar to @Jamie21. I remember with my first client at the end of the session he told me I wasn't charging enough. I really didn't know my value, or how to present myself. I've benefited from having lots of good mentors along the way, ranging from clients to other escorts. Early on I hired an escort I was interested in to see how he set things up with the appointment, how he conducted the appointment, but also of course to get our rocks off. And for those who knew @Guy Fawkes, he was never shy about giving advice and relished serving as a mentor. 

Sorry you're not getting responses. The two bars I'm familiar with are Hula's and Bacchus, both in Waikiki. Not sure what the gogo scene is like... last time I was in Honolulu was Summer 2021, things were still in Covid restriction mode, and I wasn't able to get into Hula's due to occupancy limits.

Maybe put a post in the Travel Desk forum? You might get more general intel there.

Also in the 90s was that iconic Samsung microwave ad:

I recall it caused quite a stir at the time, and arguably put Samsung on the map as a "cool" brand.

I noticed a ton of sites I visit all of a sudden with pop up notices saying their privacy policies have changed. Some law must have went into effect in the new year.

I've noticed the same. Chaturbate is requiring performers to update their age verification, and they're using an AI biometric age-verification tool. You upload the front and back of your government ID through your device's camera, then an oval pops up and you center your face into the bubble. The AI then analyzes your face.

Interestingly, the day after I verified my age with Chaturbate, I reserved a rental car with Sixt rental car. I got an email that invited me to "save time at pickup, verify your driver's license." I thought that sounded appealing, so I logged on, and found they are using the same type of process as Chaturbate, with the photo of the ID and the facial biometric scan.

I'm guessing this is an implementation of the EU Digital Services Act. Here's some info:

https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/IP_22_6906

Sure, I can see this for porn sites, but why the rental car? Oh yeah, you need to be 25 to rent a car. Sixt is a German company, and the Digital Services Act is not specific to porn. As the article says, the DSA applies to all digital services that connect consumers to goods, services, or content.

I've had a couple of times as a client where I've gone to see a provider and he's only provided me with the building address. In both cases they said they don't like to give out the apartment number in case the client finds their way into the building, goes looking for the unit, and talks to neighbors or the security folks. For someone you've never met, you just don't know what they might do or say. So it may be discretion more than anything. In one instance he was waiting for me in front of the building when I arrived, which I liked because then I knew I was at the right place.

I did get sent to the wrong hotel one time. It had a very similar name to one across the street. I messaged my client to say I was in the lobby with a description (usual kind of thing… wearing x, rolled up copy of The Times under my arm etc lol) and he said “I’m also in lobby but I can’t see you?”. After about 5 minutes of this, with me thinking I’d been given the run around we discovered we were in different hotels….so I quickly crossed the street  to the correct hotel and found my client. Fortunately he saw the funny side and did realise he’d given me the wrong hotel. At least it was close by. 

Lol that reminds me of a similar instance. A client told me he was staying at the Marriott and gave me the room number. At the appointed hour I went to the hotel and went up to the right floor, but the room number he provided me did not exist. In fact, the numbering system was entirely different! At first I thought I'd been played, but then realizing the room numbering system was different it dawned on me that I might be at the wrong hotel. Sure enough, there was a new Marriott a few blocks away that I did not know existed. Fortunately it was not too far away, and we had a good laugh about it.

Folks, play nice or leave the room. Thank you.

I'm OK using the RM chat feature. My only issue with it is that it is inconsistent in sending me a notification that there is a message. Sometimes I get a notification, sometimes I don't. I log into RM maybe twice or three times a day, so if someone leaves a message through the chat I may not see it for several hours, whereas if they send a text or go through Whatsapp I'll get the notification right away.

Personally I found the story interesting, even if it did take a long while to get to the point. It kinda reminds me of those old Paul Harvey "The Rest of the Story" shows.
