Brilliant. Thanks, @Boy4. I'll look forward to checking things out...

Thanks for this, @Boy4. Not sure I understand the set up, though. $5 per song? Or to start?

That's a perfect summary of what -- based on my personal experience -- should be the starting-point or working baseline assumption when dealing with Adonis guys.

A few weeks back, I had a very brief interaction with him at Adonis@Evolve, after watching him dance on that little stage for a good while. He's not really my type but he does look pretty incredible in person. And I found our brief chat to be really intriguing. (Indeed, I hoped to see him when I hit Adonis last night but hadn't clocked that he'd be traveling this month.) I suspect he will appear at AdonisLA, and I would expect him to be friendly but firm with regard to his articulated limits.

Yeah the recurring use of cañero is weird. I've only ever heard/understood it to mean something like "boastful" or to refer to someone who's not to be trusted. If I were contacting this gent, I'd probably ask him what he meant by it as a stealthyish "icebreaker" of sorts...

I may be giving the show "too much credit" but it's my credit to give, TYVM. I like what I like and I feel what I feel.

I'm guessing that these are the gents folks are talking about but (aside from Allen Silver) I'm not sure... https://rentmasseur.com/Ssergey https://rentmasseur.com/AllenSilver https://www.masseurfinder.com/massage-therapists/8756/

I'm completely hooked on this show. The "game" set-up is a bit ridiculous but does give a welcome bit of structure to each episode so it's not all/only about peepholing into the requisite/suspect "drama" stirred each week. And, honestly, I have found each episode to be quite moving, genuinely surprising & often thought-provoking.

I'm likely hitting Adonis@Evolve tonight (July 31). If anyone else from the Forum expects to be there, shoot me a PM so we can find a way to connect.

@Beancounter: yes, as has been much-heralded, Norton has departed Grantchester. And we've yet to see if his attractive replacement Tom Brittney takes off his clothes with as breathtaking effect. But I'm pleased to see that James Norton has been named among the cast of Josh Whedon's new HBO show The Nevers and very intrigued to learn that his character is described as a "pansexual posh boy"...

I've hired one guy I met at an Adonis event. See my comment above for a summary description of the experience.

Curious about this as well.

I thought he was taller when I met him at a PalmSprings pool party a couple years back, but your post made me immediately think of this gent: https://rent.men/YourHunk We only interacted for a few minutes at the party but those few (MEMORABLE) minutes made me note him as THE guy to hire if I wanted a BFE in the greater LA area.

This bathtub scene made me an immediately attentive viewer of 's James Norton.

It's just the way some gents use RMen. I guess there is a function where they can see that certain registered users happen to be on the site. I'd say you're right to just ignore the unsolicited messages that don't interest you. (I get contacted at least once every week or so by a particular duo, who have sent me the exact same "Sup Bud" message at least a dozen times.)

Yep. It will be different. Fun Fact: a number of the members of the ensemble will have just finished shooting the Spielberg movie as they enter production on the VanHove. Also, Tony is played by a biracial actor (Isaac Cole Powell). As for prices, it's in the Broadway, which has 1800 seats, so there are lotsa seats to sell. My impression is that good seats are running a bit high, but that there are definitely "cheap seats." I just checked and TodayTix is selling center FrontMezz seats for $179 and side RearMezz for $39.

I might add that my track record for outside meetups isn't that inspiring. I mentioned the guy who was only up for massage and muscle worship. On my previous visit, I enjoyed a dance from a guy who was forthright about enjoying what I enjoy when I hire and who gave me his number (since his RMen ad had lapsed) and encouraged me to contact him to set something up; I sent a message shortly thereafter and never heard back. On another visit a couple years back, I connected with a dreamboat of a guy, had a great time in private, confirmed his willingness to meetup, made an appointment within a couple weeks...and he turned out to be one of the bigger duds in my hiring experience. So I would only underscore that Adonis can be great for what it is but, if you're hoping for something different/more from Adonis guys, be prepared for wildly unpredictable results.

I don't think there's a way to guesstimate in advance who's game for what, though I think you can safely/sanely assume that probably 90% of the Adonis guys are straight-leaning/straight-identifying. And @azdr0710's advice is exactly right. If there's a gent I have my eye on, I try to do a lapdance to see what the chemistry is and, if I'm still curious, I usually ask something like: "do you ever do outside meetups?" Most recently, a great guy that I really liked confirmed that he did do meetups but only for massage or muscleworship & before we parted he gave me his number. (Which I probably won't use, but who knows...) And, yeah, be prepared to be generous and definitely don't be greedy, don't be grabby, and don't be gross.
