That is too bad because the pictures - if those are his - are impressive. Thanks for the heads-up! I hope you are OK.

Count me IN.

You are right about that! They get rich off somebody's misery. As you said, it should go well. Never a fun experience though. Speedy recovery, and we will have a drink on it at the reunion.

When I receive a PM, I try to be helpful. But if it is an intrusive question coming from a newbie or a novice, I feign ignorance.

It is a moot point ... it looks like his current ad has expired: https://rent.men/vikingbuddy He will be back, eventually.

I am sure you are quite the sexy barrister! Do you wear black robes and a wig in court? Pictures please ...

Right. And to complicate it further, there is 'VikingBuddy' in LA (formerly MuscleStudBoy in NYC). Who is in the process of morphing into a trans woman. Good luck with that, by the way. https://rent.men/vikingbuddy

Here is an update on MYCViking, whose ad I have been eying for a while. Imagine my surprise when, working out at my gym on the upperwestside, 'NYCViking' walks in - dressed in black shorts and a black tank top. The shorts, about 1-2 sizes too small for his physique, revealing a generous crotch and a beautifully sculpted ass. He is totally into his zone, working up a delicious sweat. I just couldn't believe it was him. And for the purpose of class and discretion, I did not approach him at the gym. There was some eye contact and a furtive smile, but no solicitation. When I left the gym, I quickly checked his profile on RM again and sent him a text message - hey, was that you in the black shorts and the black tank top at XYZ gym at noon today? I am impressed. He responded quickly and professionally. We set an appointment at his place at 3 p.m. Here is the gist of it - he is gay. He looks exactly like his pictures. He brought a genuine enthusiasm to the appointment and delivered above and beyond. I am actually tempted to write a review ...

If you spend $200-$300 per hour on a rentboy, the $15.95 hamburger or the cost of a hotel room should be of a very, very minor importance. Let's set a date and a venue, and let the cards fall where they may.

Thank you for all your efforts. Let's keep it simple. Happy hour at a bar, followed by dinner somewhere would be great. There are restaurants that have a decent bar - Five Napkin is a name that comes to mind.

Do we have a date/time/place yet?

Perhaps. But he really is into trans women.

I never had a problem with him. Let me ask - why do you attempt scheduling a 2nd and a 3rd appointment if the 1st one was a no-show? Sort of hard to believe. And on what basis can you call someone a habitual drug user if you haven't met?

I live in Manhattan so I got no excuse. Thank you for organizing this.

Looks like his pictures. Fun guy. Performs well - really well.

@cautious - I have a very basic question for you: IS HIS AD STILL UP? If it isn't - you got your answer right there. Although he could have ended it more graciously with you. Which he didn't. If it is - consider sending him an email message from a different email address. You will find out if if he is still seeing clients. In that case, I am sorry to say, something happened between the two of you.

What happened to Anthony Breioc? He was amazing. I can't find even the faintest trace of him anymore ... too bad!

Looks tempting, I like the straightforward description of himself and the rates are excellent. I will probably try him this week.

That is absolutely correct and in fact, more common than male trainers playing with male clients. Having gone to gyms at the tony upper eastside, NY and in the Hamptons, I am amazed at how many bored married housewives openly flirt/sleep with their trainer, their tennis coach ... the gardener - you name it. Even more so for divorced middle aged women - for them, it is the only male contact they are going to get. It is an epidemic. I wonder sometimes, if these women pay for sex. I can't prove the point, but I would think gay men are more generous.

Not sure, but entirely possible. Adrian likes travelling in the company of another mega-hot escort. In the past it was mostly Robbie/Tattooedmonster, who is also from NJ. They had a falling out around the time Tattooed got involved in a major scam, possibly a felony.

At the men's restroom at Barney's New York. Madison Ave location. With one of the sales people. Fun!

I wonder who does these meetings ... that sounds like a dream job.

Your math is questionable. Say a top notch Equinox trainer were to make $100,000 per year. In NYC, the average fee for Equinox trainers is $110/hour. Of which the trainer makes $55/hour, Equinox keeps the rest. To make $100,000/year, a trainer, assuming he works 260 days per year (52 weeks, 5 days a week), would have to train 7 clients per day, every day. No vacations. I don't see that happening. Most trainers are lucky to have 3-4 clients per day or even fewer. Which is why many moonlight by offering private training sessions at the client's home gyms, or venture into more 'profitable' client encounters. The rotation of personal training staff, both male and female, at gyms in NYC is astonishing. Especially at Equinox. If you don't make your gross monthly sales figures, you are OUT. I will say I haven't fucked any of MY personal Equinox trainers yet, although I have 'worked' with some of the guys there. The clients gossip about which trainers are 'available' and the trainers gossip about which clients are 'interested'. It works out really well, in the end. I don't know about you, but I find it motivating to train with a well-built, sexy trainer. No matter how talented and knowledgeable, a slob trainer has no credibility with me.

Thanks! Very reasonable - by NYC standards

Thanks! Mind sharing what his fee is?
