Vistas got a reaction from Monarchy79 in Is There Discrimination Against Clients?
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.

Vistas got a reaction from dcguy20 in Why do Escorts make an appointment...and bail?
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.”

Vistas got a reaction from Jeffster in LA FRAUD WORKING GRINDR
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.

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.

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.

I'd have to note that PrEP works better than condoms do for preventing HIV infection and the STI testing regime is the best thing going right now for identifying infections, no matter how they were picked up.
I'm a strong advocate for the medicalization of STIs, not the moralization. I'd love to see the majority of sexually active MSM in any community regularly tested for STIs. That would be the single best thing for reducing to near eliminating the amount of infectious bacteria circulating in any community. It's also the way of tracking and curtailing the progress of even difficult to cure versions of gonorrhea in the wild.
In much the same that I find society backasswards when it comes to escorts and escorting, the same holds for the education and treatment of STIs of any stripe.

It's people with attitudes like his that keep HIV stigma and infection rates high and STI testing and treatment rates low.

If you want an "uncommon reality" for brothers, this combo is something I could heartily recommend when you come to Vegas:

You offer $1000 and everybody's going to have a "twin".
There actually are a very high % of identical twins who are gay. Someone cited it once. I've been with 2 identical sets and 2 fraternal. Identicals are usually 100% into each other. Fraternals are often rivals. With artificial insemination, there are many more twins around.
Porn and Chaterbate have a number of twins. They are fewer in the US it seems. Probably because we think of it as incest so only one twin is in public.

It is easy if you have money. Look for two escorts who may pass as brothers, make them a generous offer, teach them their characters, and use your imagination.

I somewhat agree with that. There is a great deal of fear around STIs and that's mostly do to equating every STI with the deadliness of HIV. Still, there's another level of moral hypocrisy at work. I've only met a very few people screaming about STIs who use condoms for oral, gloves for hand jobs, and dental-dams for kissing or licking ass. It just strikes me it's about feeling superior, not actively promoting risk reduction.
