I haven't written in the forum for quite a while, but I wanted to chime in because I have had good experiences on SA. I have been hiring escorts for years with about a 50% satisfaction rating even with the reviews. I guess I am just very particular in my taste. With SA, the satisfaction rating for those that end up in my bedroom is significantly higher, probably because I have spent some time getting to know that person prior to the physical fun. The arrangements that I have had:
covering expenses during outings and vacations with some spending money for a 21 year old college student/amateur MMA fighter
Pay for play with a "straight" college baseball player (interactive, deep kissing with me topping him). Usually 2-3 hour sessions for $200
4 month live in for a 20 year Aussie exchange student
I've had several encounters with hot young guys in the "trial" or meet and greet phase. I've also encountered the obvious scammers and cheats, but never have gotten too far with any of them so a meeting was never close.
One arrangement that I have not participated in is anything that includes any allowances. I am very clear in my profile about that and that seems to deter a lot of the scammers, although I still get a lot. I am very clear early in the process that I would like intimacy to be part of this.... I get from some that they are not sure about that and I tell them politely, good luck and move on. Several times these "I am not sure about that" guys end up saying they might be OK with it and I try tehm out during a meet and greet- usually end up too awkward so it is a one time thing.
