former lurker

It was in Fire Island cruising 2, released in 2004.

These days, phone numbers don't really shed much light. The area code is assigned based on where you buy the phone. My mobile phone has a NY area code even though I haven't lived in NY for 8 years.

More likely he doesn't check the emails with any frequency. Texts are sent directly to ones phone, which is usually close at hand. The emails require signing in and looking through them. Many escorts prefer texts, even those who read the emails. Often, I've gotten a response to an email inquiry supplying a number to send a text.

A couple of thoughts: (1) we should all realize we are only indirect targets of Rentmen -- it's the escorts who are RM's clients, not those of us who hire the escorts; and (2) I have zero insight into how reviews get removed, whether Rentmen has a process to review requests from the escort or the escort can remove them on his own, or whether any particular negative review fails to survive scrutiny if/when challenged. I'd prefer that the reviews be left in place, and allow readers to form their own conclusions about the review's credibility. Better still would be the approach Daddy follows: post the review and allow the escort to respond.

About Richie Fine: there's a controversial scene from Lucas Entertainment where it appears Lucas did in fact rape Richie.

I disagree. There's a substantial number of guys on the forum who are into twinks. And I don't see many judgemental comments against those clients. Of course, people often express their preferences in posts that aren't asking for it. But that's not putting anyone else down. It's almost an instinctive/knee-jerk response. For example, someone posts asking if anyone has had experience with escort A who doesn't list kissing in his list of preferred activities. You can reliably expect several posts in which the gist of the response is to point out that the escort doesn't offer kissing and that's a no-go/deal-breaker for the poster. It's not particularly helpful to the OP who was asking about direct experience, not whether the escort's ad suggests he'd be a good fit for the responding poster. But it's not a put down or a judgement. Twinkiness is often entwined with youth, though, and some advertising twinks look, in their pictures, to be barely legal if that. So, that's an issue. Finally, one of the prime reasons a lot of people place high value on this forum and on Daddy's reviews is they are a means to determine an escort's reliability and the strength of his track record. Twinks tend to be newer to the scene with less of a history with posters, so there's often little to say based on direct experience. And as a further complication, there's always the curiosity about escorts who are "new" to market, but that's even more often the case with the twink advertisers because a lot of their appeal is their newness.

Re: those pics. I suspect they scare more potential clients than they entice, but the ones they entice are probably very enticed. Perhaps you can split the diff by adding to the copy that you have lots of toys if your client wants to take advantage of your collection. To me, the vast array of toys says you're committed to showing your playmate a good time (it's a substantial investment).

I suspect he's blocking people for reasons other than this forum. Perhaps he blocks anyone who views his profile and doesn't contact him. I could be wrong, but I'd bet he blocks a lot of people and that viewers of this forum are a subset of the people he blocks.

I'd suggest dialing 911 is more appropriate.

Had a business trip to Dallas. Landed at the airport. Cab driver asked me where I flew in from. I told him NYC. He then informed me that the airport was larger land-wise than the isle of Manhattan. But Florida is it's own case, narrow but long. Driving east-west isn't a lengthy trip, especially below the panhandle and even more close to Miami. But from Georgia to the tip of Miami is a good 6 hours. Attitudes about traveling locally often are influenced by whether you work/live in a big urban area. NYC is an extreme case. In a lot of Manhattan, everything you could possibly need on a regular basis is available within a few blocks of wherever you live. For several years I worked about 1-1/2 blocks from my apartment. I could hit the drycleaner, grocery store, pharmacy, several cafes restaurants, bars and even a few theaters on my "commute".

Traveling in South Florida can be a hassle, depending on time and location. Heavy traffic on the main routes. But it's not an area known for public transportation. Almost everyone has or has access to a car and drives. So, I'd suspect if you either cover travel time/costs or book for a multihour session, you'll find guys who are willing to come to you if you're not too far away.

You're probably right about the explanation, although I suspect some websites automatically update the escorts age while others leave the age static and the escort has to update it to make it current. Sort of like the difference between inserting a "date" field in a letter and typing out the date. The former, the date updates automatically, the later it remains as typed unless edited/retyped.

Or maybe he really is straight and uncomfortable having sex with guys, and there's not enough of a pool of guys willing to pay big money to admire/worship him without sex. I know a lot of guys are into straight muscle guys even without full on sex, but I wonder how many are multiple repeat clients. Probably not a lot. Some of these straight guys who escort are willing to do more, but only for really big money, and if they find someone to pay that kind of money a handful of times, they stop seeing guys off of RM.

I didn't follow it too closely, but I got the impression the scumbag was his boyfriend and he got caught up in it.

Interesting. I have a friend from Canada who I've always thought was uncut. Somehow, the subject came up and he said he was circumcised but looked like he was uncut. I suppose it happens.

Learn to adapt to the tech of the times. Texting is not new. My aunts in their 80s are proficient. My mom never mastered it, but she never moved past her flip phone mobile and it was always misplace and drained of its battery. Meanwhile, you asked for a response and got one. If you're really interested, don't sweat the small stuff and try to save the demanding for the actual encounter rather than the logistics in setting it up. Just my two cents.

Funny, but I grew up in the Northeast, spent a few years in grad school in NC, and worked for almost 20 years in NYC. By far the hardest drinkers I encountered were the professionals I worked with in NYC. But back to BamaBoyToy: whatever floats his boat is fine by me. I'll be down for the ride. He seems a fun guy. Plus, the southern boy thing can be hot.

Oh, and the "you" bit is endearing. It shows you can both be the laid-back Southern guy into fishing, country music, guns, etc., and be a big ole flirt. It works!

Looks like he's removed the pics with the array of toys from the ad. I hope that's not because of the comments in this thread. Personally, I like it when an escort shows you more of an array of what he'll provide. Bring the high-SPF sun lotion and I'll hang out with you on the water any day. I'm not an experienced fisherman, but have enjoyed every fishing trip I've even been on.

You have impeccable taste. By that, I mean, I find all of these guys incredibly appealing. Damien oozes pure sex. Mike is sweet and physically flawless. Kurtis is a stud, and comes across as smart, thoughtful and open. Tristan seems perfect in every way.

I've never met Tristan, but from all I've read, I really want to. I suspect you won't have much luck hiring him on such short notice. He's a busy guy, travels a lot, and is in constant demand. But nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Or, and this is a foreign concept to some, assume he's not offering himself as an escort unless he does so expressly and leave it alone. You can always keep a look out for him on the usual escort sites to see if he ever does indicate he's up for seeing clients. Otherwise, I'd try to respect him limits.

I'll bite. What's your favorite thing to do?

Who knows. It could be that they start doing something else that utilizes a different name (like doing porn for SC or another studio) and they want fans of their porn work to find them on RM or other escort sites. It could also be that they had a stalker/creeper that unsettled them (even if it's just feeling uneasy about people who frequently check their profiles without seeking a get together). Or it could be trying to distance themselves from bad prior reviews.

Fair enough. It's probably for the best that you didn't name names. It's often the case that our posts are incomplete. In this instance, you've subsequently made clear that the "future session" promised in return for the loan was something the gent tried multiple times to schedule and that it ultimately happened when it fit your schedule. That speaks well of the young man. While I generally agree that it's unwise to get financially intertwined, I can see the escort's perspective may be that he meets lots of people in established careers through escorting. If he's a kid struggling to pay for college and not independently wealthy, he may not have many people to turn to with financial resources to help him out except his clients.
