I ran across one guy who had Bounty paper towels on his list... I was tempted to anonymously buy those for him.

The income from Uber/Lyft is deceptively low. At first, it sounds like you can make decent money, but once you do the math and consider the cost of gas, maintenance, and the wear-and-tear you're putting on your car, the equation is quite different.

When you say that you "saw him at a Montreal bar," was it a regular bar, or one of the stripper clubs? If he's dancing, I would love to track him down when I'm there later this week.

This post will inevitably lead to a colorful debate because this is such a sensitive topic, but before we go there, an observation... In the United States, where PrEP is widely available and quickly rising in popularity, I've noticed a sea change: many escorts who used to insist on condoms are now assuming that everyone wants bareback sex, unless the clients specifically ask for a condom. It used to be exactly the opposite: condoms didn't even need to be discussed, they were a "given." Thankfully, I feel like this happened right around the time that I got on PrEP myself, so I'm not really upset about this, but I still find it remarkable how quickly attitudes and behaviors have changed. Understandably, in countries where access to PrEP access is more limited, condoms are still the norm.

I'm curious if anyone has experience taking advantage of these offers that show up on MasseurFinder. To me, it feels like it would be awkward. I prefer not to discuss rates much with providers, and I would never consider "negotiating." So, do you remind the guy of the offer that he's advertising? And then, how do you handle tipping? It seems like I would end up still paying his regular advertised fee, and consider the discount as the tip, but that just feels cheap and wrong.

I'm curious about the reasoning here. Are you thinking that having sexual contact in these environments exposes you to things you wouldn't be exposed to by simply soaking in that water, or are you concerned that having sexual contact is potentially exposing other users to things that you or your partner are carrying? I'm not trying to say that you're wrong, I'm just trying to understand the risk that you're alluding to.

Yes, definitely. In fact, he really isn't shy about "touching your junk," it is just done in a non-sexual way. Once I opened my mind to that, I received a massage to some muscles that have always been neglected in other massages.

I've seen him twice. His rates are a steal! (He also offers a 90-minute massage for $60) In my experience, his service is strictly therapeutic... no extras, no happy ending, keeps his clothes on. I wouldn't say that he gives the absolute best massage I've ever had, but he's quite good, and is probably the best value I've found for a legit massage. I'll repeat. Frequently.

I prefer "sodomite."

Yes, and no attempt at upcharges.

Today, I tried the guy referenced in the original post: https://rentmasseur.com/middleeasternali Nice guy, matches his pics. A good experience, but probably not worth what he charges.

Any experience with this guy? https://www.masseurfinder.com/massage-therapists/35756/ https://rentmen.eu/Albert Sorry... never mind, I just found reference to him in https://www.companyofmen.org/threads/411-on-middleeasternali-in-san-diego.139809/#post-1572398

I believe that the principles of logic and problem-solving skills usually come along with algebra.

I'm sure that you're correct, but it shouldn't be the reader's task to solve this puzzle. Is it unreasonable to expect someone to reread their post and consider, for just a moment, whether the reader might be able to understand it?

If your goal is obtuse communication that no one but you understands, keep using single letter acronyms. And, by all means, reference things like "Vonlane" with the assumption that everyone else in the world has heard of them.

Unfortunately, condoms aren't particularly effective protection against HPV, especially HPV transmitted orally. Even most people who claim to practice "safe sex" usually don't use condoms for oral sex.

Not long ago, this was exactly my thinking, but today this feels more like judgmental slut-shaming. PrEP has changed everything. Outside the U.S., where PrEP is still rare, expensive and hard to get, it seems like most guys are still using condoms, but my recent experiences in the U.S. have been that most guys I've met strongly prefer doing it bare, and don't even ask if you don't bring it up. Afterwards, I've often had casual conversions with these guys and most of them extoll the virtues of PrEP, too. Of course, this conversation isn't complete without discussing all the other STIs which PrEP offers no protection against. The PrEP prescription protocols dictate quarterly screening for all of those, and, in my opinion, this early detection and treatment has secondary public health benefits.

Some escorts may find it rude, particularly those that are HIV+ and undetectable. Those escorts, who have very likely gotten tired of trying to educate everyone that undetectable=untransmittable, may consider it ethically acceptable to lie and say they are HIV-. (I believe the CDC link above is out-of-date, here is a more current article that references the CDC's latest position: https://www.hivplusmag.com/undetectable/2017/9/27/breaking-cdc-officially-recognizes-undetectableuntransmittable-hiv-prevention) More importantly, however, it's a useless question. If they answer "no," you really don't know anything more than you did before you asked the question. As explained above, a "no" answer doesn't help you if he's lying, or unaware. Ultimately, each of us must take personally responsibility for our sexual health. That means you must make sure you use condoms or take PrEP as directed. For me, personally, I was never comfortable bottoming with condoms because it places too much trust and responsibility in the hands of the top, who, in the context we're speaking about, is essentially a stranger. Two years ago I was very, very skeptical about PrEP, but now I'm completely sold on its importance. The only side effect I've experienced is a profound sense of sexual liberation.

I think this is a myth. Similarly, many people believe that if you ask "are you a cop?" that they have to answer truthfully.

Like everything else here, I don't think there is a 100% certain, foolproof answer. However, it may help you to ask them if they do the massage on a table or a bed. In my experience, masseurs who are serious about massage will strongly prefer working on a table. If a guy does it on a bed (especially for incalls), he's probably more about the sexual aspects of the meeting.

For the most part, credit card fraud is your bank's problem, not yours. The consumer protection laws, and the banks' policies, strongly favor the consumer, and, other than some inconvenience, you stand almost nothing to lose from credit card fraud. Banks encourage consumers to be diligent about credit card fraud because it reduces their losses. You are generally not liable for any fraudulent charges, and even if you're extremely reckless and do everything wrong, your liability is usually limited to $50. I've had several incidents of fraudulent activity on my cards over the years, and usually they're immediately identified by the bank. In some cases I've spotted and reported them. In either case, the bank immediately reverses the charges and sends a replacement card with a new account number. (Yes, it's a hassle to update all my automatic charges with the new account number.) A couple caveats: Debit cards are different and seem to offer less consumer protection. I avoid. Identity Theft is something else entirely, but there usually isn't a direct path from credit card fraud to identity theft.

I contacted him a while back and was left with a very bad impression. Among other things, his rates seem to vary depending on how hot he thinks you are. I declined.

The photo on the left is a stock photo that has been available for years through many stock photo agencies. When I saw it in an ad a fews years back, I figured out the name of the model (which I've now forgotten) and ask the masseur if he was the same guy. He was evasive, and basically said "come see me and find out." I decided at the time that he was probably a scam, but I don't know for sure. To me, the other photos look like a different person, but I'm not sure about that either.

I second the recommendation xxxMuscle, formerly known as "Angelo," and reviewed here: http://daddysreviews.com/cruise/2014-02-12/angelo_montreal

Based on my personal experience, and to summarize the many posts about him that I've read here, he's inconsistent. Like many others, my first experience with him (which was a massage) was excellent, but I have since come to regard him as a total douche. Self centered, egotistical narcissist. You might have a great time, but it depends on where he is on his perpetual using-recovery-relapse-using cycle.
