Depends on who you ask. I think that the term "Star" has become something similar to the term "Expert", "Senior", "Lead", "Coordinator", and others in the corporate world. No one wants to be called "worker", "employee", "performer", "for-hire", or things that apparently place them in a less special (or made-up) place. It's all marketing to me. Personally those titles or characterizations mean very little to me, other than the guy might feel entitled to charge more for a perception of getting some kind of premium service. Just like Airlines now offer economy and "premium economy", which is nothing but that you are called to board before the economy class, giving the feeling that you are getting something extra for paying more.

That is correct. To me that's definitely public relations and/or political theater. I also agree that those being the main force behind those "raids", gay men can also be at risk.

Interesting that the "money up front" thing was a scam towards me, the client. That doesn't remove any risk from any of the parties.

Ugh, yes, definitely a little over the top. Sorry to hear. Thanks for replying.

He should probably put it on a bid.

That's exactly my thought. He's now a celebrity victim.

I used to live in Styvy Town, an apartment complex in the lower east side of Manhattan. When AirBnB started, there were people who started making money renting their rooms instead of having roommates. The management of the complex prohibited AirBnB rentals almost immediately. NYC seems to be obsessed with keeping it to be a city of the rich, so it's no surprise to me that anything that can help people make money will be quelled. I think AirBnB is a good alternative for budget travelers. And in may other cities, it coexists well with the hotel industry without major repercussions. In May this year I rented a hotel room in midtown. I paid for 4 days more than what I pay for any all-inclusive resort for 15 days anywhere else. The room could not be smaller and the facilities more minimized. All I needed was a place to stay, as many people did during that time attending graduations, not interested in using the hotel amenities. AirBnB (actually, there's also a gay-men version, MrBnB) would have been a feasible option. I personally think that both industries can coexist, with regulations on both.

His rentmasseur ad lists only erotic, with therapeutic nor sensual greyed out. To me that's an indicator that it is less about the massage and more about the extras. May I ask, how was he displaying arrogance? Was it overall attitude/demeanor, or something he actually said?

Thanks. I don't need that being told to me, and last time I checked, I can post whatever I want for as long as I follow the guidelines.

A lot of work for which they are already getting paid, not involving everything else that the escorts offer.

In any of his videos, that I know of, does he do a massage, but I have the feeling that he's great on the extras.

Now that makes sense. The insane pricing might be a reflection of their overinflated ego and unrealistic ideas of what they can offer. And if it's a cam, of course, it makes sense to grab as much money and possible, and go. Seems like insanely overpriced providers are to be avoided.

I have to say, the price increase must have happened within the last two or three weeks. I was there around that time and those were not the prices at all. I don't think it's reasonable or worth paying so much. An Uber ride anywhere just outside Manhattan can get you a lot more for less. It's not a good value for you money.

I actually stay away or stop the moment I start receiving mixed messages. I believe that part of what I am paying for is clarity (within reason) about what I can expect. For that kind of games there are the other apps. Also, since there's no standard for what "erotic" and "sensual" entail, clarity of expectations become more important. I don't think that sending pictures of "appendage and orifice" is a good marketing strategy for providers (just my thoughts).

I like the Aqua SPA in Puerto Vallarta Mexico. It has great facilities and excellent massage professionals. It provides showers, scrubs and professional massages.

Yes, it is. I speak several languages, Spanish being one of them.

Congratulations on breaking into the world of bottoming.

Vin_Marco, I don't know you, and only very recently I have known of you. Nevertheless, I find your words and overall attitude are very pleasant and well accepted. Thank you for that. I do appreciate a sense of solidarity and camaraderie, so I appreciate your words.

This is what I tend to give more importance to. I avoid situations that will get me blamed if things don't wok out. Of course, I'm glad that you did what works for you. Please do tell how it turns out.

😂 If he can't afford music streaming without ads, maybe CDs can help. They are cheaper and available. Just sayin'.

I think that those are things to be negotiated, and I see no harm in it for as long as both parties agree to it. I myself don't see me "worshiping" anyone (in that sense), but if both parties are happy with that deal, I don't see why not. I do see a problem when the story changes from either party when they are already in the room and they are getting something different than what has been discussed.

First, as a client, I echo those who expect a degree of reality and presence. I react negatively to disconnected, checked-out and/or fully detached provider, or the ones with the attitude of getting you off as soon as they can. I expect mutual respect for each other's end of the deal, and I'm also understanding when there isn't chemistry, though the call to end the session should be mine. About reciprocity, attitude and connection counts. One can reciprocate mechanically and/or with attitude. In terms of actions, that can/should be discussed (at least it saves me headaches to have a clue of what to expect in return).

I had one way back when, given to me by my then boyfriend. He liked jewelry of all kinds. I slept with it on and started having dreams of getting strangled. I have no clue how I lost it. I've never been able to get used to them or any kind of jewelry for that matter. Personally, they don't add anything to the sexiness. Not my thing, don't even notice them. I do know some who love, love, love them.

I know the last post was last month, but I wanted to post my experience. I went to a campground in PA a while back (about 2012), maybe the same that jake1973 mentioned. It had trailers that people leave there and seem to visit during the summer. When I went I did not like the experience at all. First, the people there seem to know each other and not interested in talking to anyone outside of their clicks. Second, the facilities looked neglected. Then there was this weird mix of people's level of nudity, from people dressed up to casual attire, to part attire, to fully nude. There were also women all over the place. It was just strange and felt unwelcoming.

Maybe something is missing due to the language barrier, but I find that request quite odd. I cannot fathom any provider asking me that kind of question, and I've had experiences with women. It's an odd request. If anyone ask me, like others said, I'd thank him for trusting me enough to inquire, but I'm not sure I am the right person to ask. If he's good enough for me to keep him in my radar, maybe I'd say that I'd like to know how his search is doing. I don't think I'd get involved in anything, especially since I always consider worst-case scenarios (what if I introduce him to a girl and things goes wrong?).
