I never even check these things, but I happened to see my IRA total on Friday (because I had to add money before tax day)- it had decreased 10% in a few days! While I was initially upset, I quickly realized that it was actually a good time to add money, so less money now will mean more in the future! Regarding the topic at hand, I can’t afford it to begin with (I just spend it anyway), so it will not impact my spending on providers at all.

That’s why I said “some people”. And ability to control a biological urge doesn’t negate it being a biological urge (but yes, many of us on this board including myself have OUTSTANDING impulse control). At least for me, the desire to do something for fun is not the same thing as a biological urge such as to eat or to have sex. While I can choose to fast or to stay celibate, it doesn’t really compare to, for example, choosing to read a book instead of watching a movie.

Check out one of their earliest works, the song cycle “Edges”- it masterfully combines a pop sensibility with musical theatre storytelling, and is IMO stronger writing than their more recent work. A couple songs from that piece…

You bring up a few great points! 1- Nobody should feel coerced into participating in a conversation with which they are not comfortable. 2- Price is a large deciding factor in whether or not many of us can hire certain providers. 3- This forum is the ONLY place many of us have to discuss several topics. 4- I don’t really understand the reason behind using the term “hobby” to describe hiring providers. A hobby is something people do just for fun and can be easily replaced by another hobby. Hiring a provider is for some people the only gratifying way to fulfill a biological urge.

I totally agree, and that’s part of the reason I see providers! But my point is that in the off-chance something like height or any stat is a deal-breaker, the provider would know and be able to make an educated decision.

I wouldn’t send a pic but do think it is important that providers request stats (if not already in the client’s profile) so they’re not in for any surprises… as a short guy, I would hate for a provider to be unpleasantly surprised by and/or not able to perform due to my height.

I have no reason to lie… I promise you that where it now says “no”, it said “not in sessions” at the time I posted this morning. You may have been looking at the rentmen.eu version of the site that doesn’t have the “smoking” stat at all. It seems like @Harryinny saw the same thing I did.

It said “Not in sessions” this morning so he obviously changed it today.

His smoking status under Gay Escort Info is listed as “Not in sessions”… which implies that he does sometimes smoke.

I think you’re overthinking it- I would just reach out to an NYC provider you’ve hired before regardless of what he advertises… I’m sure many would be happy to be booked for a full weekend!

I very recently started believing these things, as well- I have in the last couple of weeks had a sequence of events happen that would have been basically impossible without some form of supernatural intervention (I’ll give more details later since the sequence hasn’t been completed lol).

My guess is that it’s the former- boys want toys that other boys are playing with, so pretending to be busy makes them more desirable. Part of me wonders how many clients the typical provider sees per week, and if it’s even feasible for them to make a profit given necessary expenses (like a private/well-located home/studio, medical care/testing, and a gym membership) without other sources of income.

One of the main reasons I hire is so that I can find a guy who can host in a convenient location at a time that works for me… if that is removed from the equation, it kind of defeats the purpose of hiring (at least for me).

I’m a millennial and have what I refer to as “unknown telephobia”- I have no issue having phone conversations with people I already know/have some sort of relationship with, but have a lot of anxiety when the phone rings and I don’t know the person calling or what they want. I also for whatever reason have a very difficult time understanding people with thick accents or unclear speech on the phone whereas in person I virtually never have that issue.

Not really, but a few of the guys have volunteered that their rates are $300 for 1 hour or $500 for 2… that would lead me to believe that the majority 2-hour sessions would fall in the $500-$700 range (presuming a “discount” from double the 1-hour rate).

I feel like I have written this several times over the last couple weeks, but as a purely gay man, I have found my best experiences to be with providers who selected “bisexual” as their orientation- they have been generally more engaged and better at maintaining the illusion of mutual attraction.

When I did some data analysis a few months ago, I found that the majority of 1-hour incalls in NYC fall in the $300-$400 range, with $350 as the median and $400 as the mode. As for the four men I have seen for 1-hour incalls, three charged $300 and one charged $350- the $350 one was the least engaged of the group (though I enjoyed the company of them all)! I am open to seeing a man who charges up to $400, but once the rate goes above that I would be afraid of feeling ripped off during the session. I really can’t afford to pay it, but make it work anyway because I know that my body/heart/brain needs it. To be totally honest, I expected the “going rates” to be significantly lower than what they are before I joined this site and started engaging with providers, because I was comparing the anticipated rate to the salary of someone with a “regular” job. But I now realize how much goes into being a provider, and there really is no comparison to any other occupation (although we all often feel like we’re getting fucked at work 😉).

I never came back to tell y’all the results! My throat culture results came back as a non-strep, self-contained bacterial infection, that will go away with the antibiotics. I had reached out to the provider to let him know my symptoms etc, and he mentioned that he had a tingle (didn’t specify whether it was in his throat or his dick), so went to urgent care to get checked. He told me they gave him a shot (again, not sure where or of what), and then whatever he was tested for came back negative! Conclusion: my sore throat probably was the result of having his huge dick in my mouth, but was also probably not an STI in the traditional sense.

Not if you ARE HR!

There are so many different kinds of rush tickets available for different shows, so combined with TKTS and random discounts on TodayTix, I have NEVER paid more than like $150 for a theatre ticket. Link with rush info: Broadway Rush, Lottery, and Standing Room Only Policies PLAYBILL.COM Playbill’s complete round-up of the latest Broadway rush, lottery, standing-room-only (SRO), and student ticket policies.

Haven’t met or communicated with him, but just added him to my buddy list due purely to the videos of him rubbing his abs- dammmmmn!

Yep, I’m on Clindamycin (30 pills/10 days). Also reached out to the provider to let him know about my strep or strep-like infection and ask if he is feeling ok (since if it’s an STI, he would have given it to me, but if it’s strep, I could have given it to him!), but again, several of my coworkers have strep and/or similar symptoms and we didn’t have an orgy at work lol.

There are (or at least were) definitely motels/hotels with rooms available for an hour or two. I have used them twice (albeit over 10 years ago) in situations where neither of us could host- one was in midtown and the other was in the village, and neither was expensive.

I’ve had strep many times before (and am susceptible to it), it feels like strep (including the progression from mild discomfort to feeling like shards of glass), the doctor said it looks like strep, and strep is going around my workplace, so I’m pretty sure it’s strep! The doctor did a couple swabs, not sure for what but she didn’t ask about recent sexual activity. There was also no cum in my mouth and the cock only went back there for a few seconds (which is why I initially thought it was irritation from having the big cock in my mouth at all). Regardless, I am on antibiotics so whatever it is is being treated (and this is coming from one of the most scared-of-STIs posters here)! ETA: just did a dive with Dr. Google on oral chlamydia and gonorrhea and am still pretty sure I have strep (given the lack of other symptoms other than a low-grade fever that went away quickly, severity of the sore throat, and the short time between the encounter and onset of the sore throat).

Yep, had a low-grade fever this morning and just started an antibiotic!
