I was taken aback when he asked me for it up front. I mean, in general, he's operating way above the typical pay grade of most escorts and asking for cash up front in general we all know is a huge warning sign to stay away.
But i took the plunge because as a first re-entry back into sex after a long covid desert, everything that was said about him was precisely what i needed AND, of course, what he looked like.
So i just bit the bullet.
And i repeat: Worth. Every. Penny.
And he really isn't a con artist. He really loves doing this and loves the people he meets. And we talked alot about drugs too - cuz i have nostalgia for the days when on nice occasions i might do shrooms or x or k - with FBs or at "circuit parties" in days of yore. So when he talks about PnP, for himself he's really talking about occasional recreational drug use and, probably, that its ok for his clients who do more. Though i bet if he has such a client he'll wind up getting invested in helping the guy steer away from destructive behavior towards sobriety.
How did we wind up talking about all this stuff? He loves to talk but even more, he seems to love to listen. And we discovered we have complexly overlapping spiritual lives - we spent time exploring that. Escorts may be able to have such discussions, but hustlers rarely can. Really: this guy is the Real Deal. And he's also a good business man creating a business model that works for him and the people who can afford him.
I wish i could be a monthly! It would be good for me! Alas, unlikely. But for this particular night in this particular year, he was medicine for my soul, not just my body.
