Video taping a session "for their own personal safety"
soloyo215 replied to viewing ownly's topic in Questions About Hiring
In USA, many states have specific laws against recording both video and audio in private, closed places without informing all parties involved. That's why you hear the "this call may be recorded" message when you call customer service. It varies from state to state, though. Nothing wrong with having cameras in open, private or public for security. I myself encountered a situation like that with a guy I booked for a massage. I'm glad that I saw the camera pointing directly at me about 10-15 minutes into the massage, and ended it immediately, in spite of him trying to convince me that the camera was not on. I gave him a bad review in rentmasseur (BTW, out of curiosity, I checked if my review was still there, but it seems like his profile is gone, good riddance. Probaby got arrested or something). After that, every time I am in a new place, I check for cameras. I may or may not be successful at seeing them if they are there, but that gives me a degree of security. The rest of your post is rather bizarre. An escort who tells the client to "get an escort"? Bottom linbe (to me) is that the world is full of all kinds of people, with good and bad intentions, and it's up to me to have caution and calculate risk (which there always is). I don't let that nonsense spoil my fun. -
I do see the increase in popularity, which is valid (IMO). I also see how there are massages that can evolve into something else for a little extra. Like you state, I have known providers that don't want to be labeled "escorts", so the massage thing is some kind of cover. I'm sure that they have their reasons for it. Also, the massage setting seems to give the provider a little more control as to how far they want to go with a client. There isn't a specific rule about what people do (or get done) in an erotic massage, so the provider can decide. The same is true from clients who want extras but for some reason need to cover, so they "are not hiring an escort, they are getting a massage". That's my take on that massage-in-escort-sites-and-escorts-in-massage-sites thing. It doesn't really bother me personally, and I always get a sense of the massage skills that the provider offers before contacting and asking for specifics. Communication can help a great deal, though there are always suprises, good and bad. The thing is that there is infact, a market for that, hence the increase in popularity. It increases the need for others to have to navigate through communication, but there are reasons why it exists.

Great catch. I wonder what the background story is. Maybe some client from hell that is being passive-aggressive?
-
Talk about mixed messages! I did see that the erotic portion of his profile is greyed out. His listed rate might suggest consistency with not providing extras (at least now when I saw his profile), although that might be the rate for just 15 minutes, who knows. The smell thing seems to be the theme here. Go figure.

You mean, the Executives, Doctors, Construction Workers, Soccer Players, who also somehow find plenty of time to hang out at the gym's locker room? Yes, I remember the previous post about them. Thanks for the info, sorry you had a bad experience with them.

Covenant eyes app to quit porno available now on your iPhone!
soloyo215 replied to marylander1940's topic in The Lounge
LOL! No. Actually, I just got my COVID booster today, and my employer requires having the flu shot, so I got it too. I just do not believe in the so-called sex addiction. There are conditions like OCD that resemble behaviors that some addicts display, but it is a completely different thing. And, BTW, in no way, shape or form am I discouraging anyone who think or feels that is a sex addict to take care of themselves in any way that they see it fit for their situation. I'm not preaching nor trying to convince anyone about my views, which are only that, my views, In fact, have a few friends who consider themselves sex addicts, some of them go to therapy and (I believe) 12-step programs for sex addiction, and one of them I even consider part of my family of choice. I do not have a black-and-white mentality about it. I just have my own beliefs. Exactly. And there are differences between those two. Treatment for OCD is different than treatment for addictions. -

Personally I don't believe in porn or sex "addiction". It's all nonsense to me. I also agree that the app seems to have some kind of Christian flare to it, which is quite offputting to me. Even if I believed in the so called "sex addiction", doesn't look like that app is something that will create any long-term benefit. I wouldn't pick an app to manage that part of my life (if I evern feel like I need any kind of support agains something I like too much, I guess), leave alone picking a "victory partner". Chances are, I might end up f***ing the hell out of him. Hate the app, hate its premise, hate its approach. -
Interesting that he has only one review with five stars (with today's date), but the rating shows 0.0. I guess RM's math is off? Or maybe the review shows but it's being reviewed?

What is your type of man, or does it matter?

Nuovo Olimpo on Netflix Watch Nuovo Olimpo | Netflix Official Site WWW.NETFLIX.COM In 1970s Rome, a casual encounter between Enea and Pietro at a movie theater turns into an unforgettable romance — until destiny pulls them apart. Just watched it. Highly recommend it. Sad ending in my opinion, but well-made and great eye candy.

Thanksgiving became a big even among my gay friends. I was unable to celebrate it until I was an adult, and I wanted to start my own tradition, so I came up with the idea of celebrating it (that was in 1993). I thought that my friends might not be interested in joining us because they had their own families. Turned out I was wrong. They saw it as the perfect excuse to leave their homophobic and unsupportive families early and join us. That was the first time I had a Thanksgiving dinner. It became a tradition and we did it for years. About a decade later or so it became geographically difficult, and some had now their own partners and in-laws who they wanted to celebrate with, so we ended the tradition. We have been friends since the early 90s, and Thanksgiving always gives me those fond memories. I was surprised to find out that both Christmas and Thanksgiving had so many people stressed over meeting with family when they didn't want to for many reasons. I've heard many of those stories. To me, celebrating them is a great thing.

How much heads up do you need?
soloyo215 replied to marylander1940's topic in Questions About Hiring
To me, the best thing to address that is the "Available Now" button/setting in the websites. That can give me as a client a clue of who can be available sooner. Of course, that means available, not necessarily ready. -
I was going to say that the no-show thing is on both sides. The reasons can be similar, involving personal insecurites, being precautious, finding better deals and having second thoughts about the expense. I disagree with the way point 5 is framed. Not having the means to afford a provider doesn't make the client a loser. Attempting at hiring while knowing well that it's not within his means might.
-
I have a different opinion. I think it's great to personalize the service with a call, have information that is needed to ensure that the experience is appropriate for both parties, and discounts are great for providers to increase busines during their slow times. I call that manging a business and catering a client.
-
I was going to say the same. He's a badass bottom.
-
Or since he's both types of provider, he might pursue the appointment that give him more money and cancel the other, typically the massage.
-
Doesn't sound good to me at all. Personally I don't prefer straight or "straight" guys. I prefer guys who dig guys and are clear about it. Also, it doesn't look or feel too therapeutic if he, knowing that he sees mostly gay men while he is not (or portrays himself as not being), stands next to you naked. Some relaxation! Then he now charges $240 for 90 minutes, so you actually pay more for less time (he charges $120 for 60 minutes, I guess I can book "two one-hour sessions back to back" for the same price). The whole thing looks too puzzling and convoluted. No Tito for me, thank you.

Just curious about this. Looking around RM, I came across the profile below. What I found interesting is that: Has pornographic and explicit images available without loggin in Has pornographic images of a man who did porn in the 80s and apparently is the same man, now in his 60s (profile says 62) Has all this babble in the description that says nothing (like what is in the title of my thread) Has only one review, but the profile is there apparently since 2014 I'm curious, not interested in hiring. Just baffles me that RM has all these restrictions, and then there's this profile: Andrebolla - Male Escort, Gay massage - Seattle | Rent.Men RENT.MEN Andrebolla Gay Escort in Seattle, Washington, available for Gay Escorting,Modeling,Erotic Massage. | Find all the best Male Escorts at Rent.Men Any thoughts?

Matthew Perry dies - drowning the given cause
soloyo215 replied to viewing ownly's topic in The Lounge
Sad news. Thank you for the laughs. R.I.P. -
Either they have a large clientele, enough to afford the luxury of not replying or takling new clients, they might not know how to answer the questions, they are not interested in accommodating for specific requests, or they are full of it and have no clue/interest about giving massages (hint: some are not certified and also have a profile in the escorting website, probalbly emphasizing other services). There might be other reasons, but those are the most common that I have found. Since there is a growing pool of masseurs to choose from, I'd just move on to the next, especially since I'm the paying customer. I have found some who actually schedule a call before booking, where they aske similar questions. Some provide choices during the appointment. But you're not doing anything wrong with asking. Not only you are the client and entitled to have a clear idea of what service you will receive, but also seems like that questions that you are asking are not about unreasonable things.

Mailing a letter to a providers residence
soloyo215 replied to Anthony's topic in Questions About Hiring
Just my thoughts: that can be misconstrued as some (maybe mild, but still) form of stalking. I'd take something like that as you not getting the message of being ignored. I perfectly understand the concept of "highly considering it", but there should be a line between that and pursuing him after not showing any sign of interest. My rationale is that when anyone, not just a provider, does not answer my first two inquiries, the person is already aware and there's no need for me to insist. If I don't hear from that person, I just move on. There's no need for me to continue pursuing that person. I have been "followed up" in that manner, and that has caused me annoyance and anger, which has resulted in me replying in a less-than-respectful manner, ending in an usavory interaction. That is what I have done, and I know of others who have responed to that type of pursue in the same manner. That means that it's possible that not only you will not get what you want, but worse, you will be treated like garbage. In other words, give the provider some time, if you don't hear from him, get the hint and move on. There are plenty of other providers in this world, and I'm sure that what he provides cannot be so unique that you only have to have him. -
His vibe of the enjoyment not being mutual would have (and has) been enough for me to remove him from my list. There are plenty of equally (if not more) enjoyable providers that give better vibes, whether genuine or not. It's my money, it's my fantasy, it's my experience. Why should it not cater me and my needs first? That said, sometimes there's doubt about that, there's a chance that I have misread the "vibe", so I guess that in your case the text confirmed what your own intuition was telling you.

Never heard of any relationship between your preferred side of the bed and your preferred sexual role. I just sleep, can't care less where in the bed I land.

Ditto.
