In my experience, during the cold winter (slower) months, the weekday afternoons at Campus are pretty dead. Friday and Saturday afternoons can be OK.

Usually, when a guy is using fake pics he chooses to impersonate someone really hot. These pictures, in my opinion, are only "ok." Perhaps Leo has given up on using fake pics and is finally using real ones. I'm not going to be the one to find out.

His rate is $300hr + uber. That seems a bit high for the New Orleans market and a brand new guy with no reviews or track record.

If you would have given him five more minutes, he would have started asking you for iTunes gift cards.

...There is also Hunk Oasis on Bourbon Street that does have some dancers that cater to gay men even though it is a strip club for women. ...

Does anyone have any experiences to share about Hunk Oasis? I've been curious, but it looks like their minimum entry is $25 (http://www.hunkoasisneworleans.com/packages/) and I fear that it will be full of loud, screeching bachelorette parties.

It surprises me that this one is a scam. Usually, the scammers are fairly new accounts, and reviews, if there are any, will be all within a very short period of time. I wonder if the scammers have found a way to hijack older, well-established accounts?

Perhaps its just odd luck, but I've noticed some really low rates recently. When I've inquired, I've had several guys come back with rates of $150/hr and a couple even offering $100. These were newbies, not experienced, well-reviewed providers, but nevertheless, I'm feeling like rates might be dropping.

Now that none of the sites are listing rates, I think it's a lot more difficult for new escorts to learn the "going rate."

He's getting a bit close to overweight unless you are into chubbies.

Yes, I have to agree. Ironically, he describes himself as "slim/defined," which seems like quite a stretch. For me, I think he could overcome that with a great personality, but, so far, that hasn't come through in his texts or profile. He offered a rate of $100/hr, which is both tempting and a bit of red flag. I think I'll probably pass.

Does anyone know this guy?

I texted him: "Hey Fredd! I saw your ad on rentmasseur. Judging from your rate, I suspect you’re offering more than just massage. Are you top or bottom?"

His response: "Top here"

In my opinion, he is definitely hot enough to justify $250 for full service.

Any experience with this guy?

I fall into the "NOT HWP" category, and had a great time with Alex. He's a tall, strong guy who tossed me around as if I was a twink -- a very unusual (and fun) experience for me.

While I think that your intention of being more thoughtful about the number of stars is worthwhile, in reality, as it stands now, anything less than a 5-star review on rentmen is blemish on a guy's reputation. You might be tempted to give a 4-star review for a guy that is "pretty good but not perfection," but this would not be doing him any favors, and would probably bring down his overall rating. It would be great if the star rating system were more meaningful, but, unfortunately, it isn't, and unless everyone changes how they use it (which won't happen), we're stuck with it.

Your current practice -- giving 5-star ratings, or no review at all -- is probably the best use of a flawed system.

well, sorry to get all serious, but this just showed up on the news...

Are you suggesting that there is a parallel between privately harassing a scammer and publicly shaming a child predator?

He's a nice guy. I would gladly hook up with him, but I'm not sure I'd pay again.

You might want to consider "Peter": https://www.masseurfinder.com/massage-therapists/31932/

He's a good guy, and gives a decent massage. I feel like he's got some emotional barriers that prevent a feeling a real intimacy, but I think he's honest and won't try to take advantage of you.

So, I ran across this ad: https://rentmasseur.com/branc

There were all kinds of red flags: it had just been posted, it listed three cities (Santa Fe, New Orleans, and Ft. Lauderdale) simultaneously, and google image search linked the photos to a guy in Brazil who's facebook page (and real name) was easy to find.

Faced with a little boredom, and a fair amount of curiosity, I decided to engage. I've got some apps on my phone that provide free "burner" phone numbers which are great for fishing expeditions like this one (Apps are TextFree, TextMe and TextNow). I, of course, was also secretly hoping that this hot guy was for real.

The first number I texted him from was a 504 area code, which is New Orleans, one of the cities listed in his ad. At this point, I was giving him the benefit of the doubt and when he immediately asked if I was in New Orleans, I said yes, and asked him where he was. "Downtown" was his reply, which is conveniently generic, but a little odd since, in New Orleans, we don't usually say "downtown," we say "the central business district" or "the CBD." He quickly followed up with a specific hotel address which is, I believe, the exact closest hotel to the center point of New Orleans on a map.

I had discovered the real name of the guy in the photos, so I asked him "Are you really (real name here)?" That shut down the conversation.

Less than a day later, I decided to try again, but this time I was already quite sure he was a scam artist and was just trying to learn more. I used a Florida area code this time, and started by inquiring about his location. "Downtown" he replied, vaguely. "Ft. Lauderdale?" I responded, and then he quickly provided a specific hotel and address: a Hampton Inn very close to the geographical center of Ft. Lauderdale. I wanted to waste a little bit more of his (or her) time, so I started asking questions about the services and activities offered. For each question, I was given the answer that he thought I was looking for. Since he would never actually meet, he could promise the world. I asked for more pictures, nude pictures, etc. All were forthcoming, but, of course, in the nude photos, you couldn't really tell whether it was the same guy.

Once I had convinced him that I was really horny, I asked if he was available now--he was. I told him I would take a quick shower and be there within an hour.

He was sure he had me hooked, so then he drops the bomb: He asks if, on my way over, I could stop at a Walgreens, CVS, etc. to pick up some iTunes gift cards for him. He specifies that he wants one $100 card, one $50 card, and I can pay him the remaining $50 in cash. "OK," I reply, "I'll take a quick shower and head over."

About 45 minutes later, I texted him that I had arrived at his hotel. As I expected, he told me to scratch off the cards and send him pictures of the codes. I searched google for images of iTunes gift cards, which were easy to find, but of course they were already redeemed, so they didn't work for him. I knew that I'd taken this about as far as I could, but I sent him images of more (worthless) cards just to waste as much time as possible. Surprisingly, he was very slow to give up, and kept asking me to send "real" cards. Then, ironically, he seemed to get mad that I was trying to fool him with fake cards.

The next day, I decided that I was in Santa Fe, NM. I texted him with a new number. Again, I started by trying to suss out his location. He was evasive, just claiming to be "downtown" and turning around the questions so that I would name the city. Once I revealed that it was Santa Fe, he immediately texted me an exact location, just like before. I was impressed that he had traveled from New Orleans to Ft. Lauderdale to Santa Fe within the course of about two days!

Once again, I offered to come right over, and he was immediately available! And then, the same pitch for iTunes cards, and in fact, the same specific request for one $100 card and one $50 card and $50 in cash. Since I knew he was going to ask me to send pictures of the codes, when he did, I asked if I could just give them to him in person, and said "don't you trust me? I'm an honest guy." He said that he needed to see the codes. I asked "what if you don't show up?" He said "I'm honest in my job." So, apparently my assurance that I'm an honest guy didn't cut it, but I was supposed to accept his honesty without question. It was all a game, but I was really hoping he'd play better.

I sent him the exact same images that I'd sent the day before. Oddly, he didn't seem to recognize the images, or realize that I'd put him through a similar exercise less than 24 hours earlier. This makes me wonder if this isn't an individual scammer, but some kind of organization that is staffed like a call center, perhaps in some far-away land.

At the end of this, once I knew it wasn't going much further, I asked him how he was able to be in New Orleans, Ft. Lauderdale, and Santa Fe in such a short time. He responded "I can travel over there for service." He seemed to be implying that he could just bop over to any of these places on a moment's notice. To me, this is another clue that he's in another country, perhaps a small country, so he doesn't understand that you can't be in Ft. Lauderdale one moment and Santa Fe a short while later.

So, what's the point of all this? Mostly, I suppose, a waste of my time. But, I think it helps us all to understand the patterns of these scammers who are out to victimize us. Hopefully, it goes without saying that you should never send anyone the codes from gift cards. And, maybe, just maybe, if we waste enough of these crooks' time, they'll find some other targets and leave us alone.

I was surprised to find that there is actually a completely legit male brothel in Sydney. I don't know where they advertise, but I found them by googling. The experience was completely professional, legal, and pleasant. If their website doesn't provide enough information for you to decide who might be suitable, I'm sure they would be very helpful and accommodating if you contact them. Here's the link: http://www.knightcall.com.au

I saw him a few years ago and found him to be cold and detached. Not a terrible experience, but not something I would repeat.

According to that table, being undetectable reduces the risk by 96% or more. Condoms reduce the risk by 80%, and Truvada alone by 92%.

I think that it worth taking a moment to let this sink in: Current science is telling us that PrEP and U=U are significantly safer than condoms, which I think we all consider the tried-and-true gold standard.

And then there's Prince Alberts... I've always worried that I'd chip a tooth.

... is on 22nd St east of 6th Ave.

I love NYC; really I do. However, I'm kind of irked that the original poster, @ilovejockstaps, and also @fm0322 both seem to assume (like many New Yorkers) that it is the only place in the universe. The original poster seems to assume that when he mentions "Living Fresh" that readers will know that he's talking about a spa in New York City, and then @fm0322 attempts to clarify by mentioning the intersection of two streets while never mentioning what city we're talking about. This is just about as helpful as saying "it's that place over by the Duane Reade."

I hope no one will take this teasing criticism too seriously, I'm not trying to pick a fight, but is it unreasonable to ask that we all should spend just a moment considering whether our posts are going to make sense to readers before clicking the "post" button?

(And, thank you @Tarte Gogo for the helpful clarification.)

What/where is "Living Fresh?"

Some additional food for thought...

If a massage (consensually) evolves into sex, and a condom is part of the equation, there is a very good chance that oil-based massage products are going to be used as lube or at least left over as residual from foreplay. Condoms with oil-based products is a big no-no.

The idea that you can do exercises to target fat in a certain area is a fallacy known as "spot reduction." It doesn't work.
