I am curious about your motivation for posting this, as you seem to bring this topic up repeatedly. If you don't want to do or be around drugs, don't discuss them or even mention in your profile that you do not want to be involved with them whatsoever. If you have an interest, then select PNP as one.

I will never again pay a deposit. If the provider demands one, then we're just not a fit and it won't happen.

I had that happen about 20 years year ago.  Thankfully it hasn't happened since. I am not fond of the taste of latex.

BLCK37 point was valid & factual;
 
Why did OP start this thread in the first place? (When hes stated previously this is a total nonnegotiable topic for him)
It was a cunty/pot stirrer move for people to come out "pro pnp" and get of course chastised for that position and for him to come out looking like Prince Charming, thus hes either testing or showing hes learned the positions to take to be the official COM "teachers pet".  
 
TRUTH
 
just following up on calling him out (initially noticed by blck37) that this thread was set up to be a self serving tool to burnish his "good boy" veneer with the majority of old timers on this board. 
 
btw, you have NOT been around "a lot longer" then me Benny, unless you started posting on rentboy while still a teenager in high school.  Lol.  I believe we started the same year.  You, however, have always been the brasher marketer / advertiser.

I typically am looking for PNP specifically. It's definitely possible to do it intermittently but regularly and basically be normal the vast majority of the time. These days it does feel as if it takes a bigger toll on my body than when I was in my late twenties, and I have noticed that many of the more experienced PNP providers really look kind of rundown themselves, even if they're 30yo or so.
Frankly it's so hard to find, at least for me, there's really zero risk of long term dependence. It's just not possible to get regularly enough or in sufficient quantities. And you are very unlikely to overdose on it unless you do something like ingest or bump it, where you could end up taking in much more than you would if inhaling over time and controlling it.
But the reason for using it is that it obviously that it is an experience. It does change how things feel, for the most part in a positive way. The most amazing experiences I've had sexually have been on it.
But in general, yes, I would say it's not for everyone. The most important thing if you do choose to use is to do it somewhere safe, stay hydrated, brush your teeth, and try to eat whatever you can, even though you will have zero appetite and it will be actually quite unenjoyable and a chore to take every bite.

I have been blocked once by a provider. I think he offers a legit massage, or at least it is mostly legit plus he is safe only. He opened my profile and immediately blocked me. The thing is that I was looking for only a good massage at that time, not anything else in my profile.

I remember with one particular escort, after he requested I pay up front, which I did, he then says he only receives oral with a condom on, and proceeded to put it on. It pissed me off because I don’t like to give oral with the guy wearing a condom. So no, it’s not as uncommon as it seems.

No, I think I did not structure that comment very well. I just looked up that particular guy again who I think stealthed me and (at least as of his last update a couple years ago) he does not mention a safe sex status. However, at the time when we got to it I did have condoms and gave him one, which he started with. It was years ago when I usually only topped BB or rarely bottomed BB with someone I knew, and before my profile had any of the indicators I mention.

More that they are saying they are connected and can actually hook clients up. Just listing PNP as an interest might mean theoretically you're into it and do it every few years but aren't connected, or that you're friendly to it if the client is into it and/or provides.

My policy now is that I don't pay deposits, but on the one occasion that I did (that I can remember), the guy ended up really being a piece of work and jerking me around. Canceled the night before on me (I found out later, based on his reviews, to go to a different city to meet up with a client for an overnight but probably mainly so he could get rid of a recent bad review).
Then his pricing ended up changing all the time and getting more expensive. I really should have just killed it there and asked for my money back (since he canceled on me) or given him a bad review. Finally, when it came time to meet up, I had to travel about 75 minutes on two buses to get to a really shady part of town. The trip home was also pretty eventful and not fun because of some transit work service outages.
And there was a roommate at his place where he was hosting! We didn't end up meeting for anywhere near the full time agreed (at the end he was leaving to go somewhere, so I question whether he ever intended to spend the full time). I was a bit out of it so didn't notice we'd only spent half the time until I checked my phone on the walk to the train. He also didn't partake in the party at all (probably because he had those plans that cut our meeting short), which made things a lot less fun.
Other red flags (that I experienced only after paying deposit):
He had a setting on the messenger app we used that deletes all our messages after only 24 hours.  He had multiple Cash App accounts. Wanted me to send him a huge amount (additional to deposit) in advance so that he could get a friend to join when I said it would be fun to have another guy. Constantly changing prices with seemingly no recollection of prior arrangements and prices agreed or consistency between them. He also seemed to totally forget about the deposit and his prices did not seem to reflect that I'd already sent him 200. Was big on selling fantasy versus making real plans that could happen and that would be enjoyable by everyone. The only good things about it were: he was reasonably hot and did match his pics/description; he was pretty professional about the actual service in a number of ways, even as some things went awry; and also he had an amazing connection really close by with great merchandise (although it was rip-off expensive... I think he literally doubled his connection's actual price and pocketed the split).

I will never again pay a deposit. If the provider demands one, then we're just not a fit and it won't happen.

That is 100% what is going on with those two guys 🤣.

Geez, I didn’t even think of it, and tes, that makes perfect sense to me now. Two providers I know that include this word have been Dutch PR in LA and MuscleVIP but both of their ads are expired. I’ll keep looking for other examples. Thanks!

Yep. Never again. 

His look pretty legit to me, if you click on them and look at their profiles and reviewing history. But I didn't know that about the RM ratings changing.... It definitely explains some of the weird things I've seen with some shady providers. For example, take a look at the guy I linked below. The rentboy he reviewed so highly so often (the only one) was kind of a notorious, inconsistent, and I'll say "shady" guy (profile now completely deleted but I have his Twitter and can send privately).

Welcome to the forum.
That quoted post was made almost two years ago. 

Yep. Never again. 

Deposit? The best ones I’ve seen don’t even demand the money upfront. And I’ve learned to walk away from those that do.

Even verified, it's funny when the ad description reads "my pics are recent" but the upload dates are from 3/4 years ago.

That's my simple rule.  I just don't think it makes sense for the client unless you are talking about an extended appointment or having someone travel a significant distance to you.  If having that policy means that some guys don't want my business, so be it.

Yep. Never again. 

1 rule:  Just don't do it.
