Vistas

Random spam message from someone on RM who isn't my type. Even if he was, I still wouldn't. Sounds a little too needy. "Dear Friend, I offering my services completely free if you invite me to Los Angeles for you.

Thank you for reading me If you are interested in my offer then I will wait for your reply. My contact details:"

I guess that’s the thing: just saying something came up and they are no longer available... and that holds for clients, too. It just seems like good form to say “Hey, I need to reschedule.”

Ha. That’s the crazy part. It wasn’t Grindr. I have a few words on my Rent Men profile. I’ve met some great pros because of that and avoided a few who agreed we weren’t an actual match.

First time it happened. So strange. He reached out to me based on my profile, we picked a time, he said he was on his way... and then nothing. No arrival. No message. I texted a few times. No response. I expect that from non-pros. One of the reasons I use a pro is to avoid that. Yet, boom, same shit. Is it really too much to say "Something has come up and we need to reschedule?" Minor venting. I'm an adult. It's a minor bit of silliness. Over the years, this has happened with tricks and dates.... just never with a pro. Thanks for letting me vent.

If he's suggesting you meet him at the Los Angeles Backpackers Hotel by LAX, then he's a variation of this scammer. Did the same kind of trick. https://rent.men/Bejons

Yeah. I've met new guys before. It's been fun. And I've had people with reviews turn out to be bad dates -- like the fell asleep in the bed within a moment of laying down -- but this was the first time I encountered a completely different person.

Classic bait and switch, with the guy in the picture not the guy you meet -- and the demand for money made up front. First time it's happened to me. Now I know how the scammy thing works. https://rent.men/Bejons

Big bearish guy. Client. I created a profile on RM to precisely spell out my interests, kinks, and looks. If I was going to meet up with someone, I didn't want them to do it "just for the money" or to reject me once they came to the door. I think it's helped. It makes sure that everything is on the up and up, on both sides.

I pretty much always pay by Venmo. It's easier. It's safer. It allows me to have a spur of the moment longer session, too.

As a client, does it help you to have a profile of my own on a site? I do on Rent Men, explaining generally what I'm looking for, into, and with a headless public and regular private pic of me. I assumed it would make things easier on the escort, but I'd love some first hand views.

You are citing one study. I'm citing the literature. It's inconclusive if PrEP drives up STI rates. Modeling over the long term shows that even with RC -- risk compensation -- greater PrEP use and STI / Testing and treatment will reduce not only STIs in PrEP users but in the larger community as a whole. You have no fucking clue what you are talking about. Incidence of Gonorrhea and Chlamydia Following Human Immunodeficiency Virus Preexposure Prophylaxis Among Men Who Have Sex With Men: A Modeling Study. Abstract BACKGROUND: Preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is highly effective for preventing human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, but risk compensation (RC) in men who have sex with men (MSM) raises concerns about increased sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The Center for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC's) PrEP guidelines recommend biannual STI screening, which may reduce incidence by treating STIs that would otherwise remain undiagnosed. We investigated these two counteracting phenomena. METHODS: With a network-based mathematical model of HIV, Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG), and Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) transmission dynamics among MSM in the United States, we simulated PrEP uptake following the prescription indications and HIV/STI screening recommendations in the CDC guidelines. Scenarios varied PrEP coverage (the proportion of MSM indicated for PrEP who received it), RC (a reduction in the per-act probability of condom use), and the STI screening interval. RESULTS: In our reference scenario (40% coverage, 40% RC), 42% of NG and 40% of CT infections would be averted over the next decade. A doubling of RC would still result in net STI prevention relative to no PrEP. STIs declined because PrEP-related STI screening resulted in a 17% and 16% absolute increase in the treatment of asymptomatic and rectal STIs, respectively. Screening and timely treatment at quarterly vs biannual intervals would reduce STI incidence an additional 50%. CONCLUSIONS: Implementation of the CDC PrEP guidelines while scaling up PrEP coverage could result in a significant decline in STI incidence among MSM. Our study highlights the design of PrEP not only as antiretroviral medication but as combination HIV/STI prevention incorporating STI screening. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28505240

If they don't reply, I imagine they aren't interested in a respondent as a client?

For MSM, the rise is in syphilis and gonorrhea cases. For straight people, the rise is in chlamydia and syph. https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/CDPH%20Document%20Library/STDs-CA-2017Snapshot.pdf https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/CDPH%20Document%20Library/Syph-Gonorrhea-MSM-2017Snapshot.pdf

The only denial on display here is yours.

Those are interesting selections. The VIP twins would be hotter without the ink, but they might be fun. The hunt continues...
