You’re not imagining it! Amazon Prime Video has indeed introduced more ads recently. As of 2023, they announced plans to roll out ads during shows and movies, similar to how other streaming services like Hulu and Netflix have ad-supported tiers. The ads are now included in the standard subscription, but Amazon offers I believe an ad-free option for an additional fee.

A lovely and charming man!! He will make you smile from ear to ear.

True empathy isn’t conditional. If you only extend empathy to people who cope with depression in ways you personally approve of, then that’s not empathy at all—it’s judgment. Dismissing their struggles just because their coping mechanisms don’t align with your expectations shows a lack of understanding and compassion. You’re essentially saying some people deserve your empathy and others don’t, which is not only ignorant but harmful. Empathy means understanding the full scope of someone’s pain, not picking and choosing who’s worthy of it.

Let me be in the minority then! Like I said, initial hygiene matters. This guy showed up, showered, clean, happens to be in shape—if he’s sweating after pounding my ass for two hours straight, good—let him! I’m not going to stop him and let that take away from our moment. I’ll take him as is from the second that moment starts, just like he’s taking me!

That’s a great suggestion and a helpful example of what to say. I understand it might be frustrating for you, but keep in mind, this is your business; it’s your job. For some, especially the person who started this thread, social interactions and communication can be more challenging. What comes easy for some may not be so easy for others.

I had asked if he wanted to chat briefly after he had time to rest, and I didn’t hear back for hours, which was fine. When he did respond, he asked for my name, what I was into and if I was available… even though it was all literally right there in the text above. I’m glad you had a better experience.

I love that you have a collection of underwear - both new and favorites - for clients. 🥰

I tried connecting with him in Chicago, but the communication was off to me. He said he was tired, hadn’t slept well, but still asked if I was available. He asked for my name and what I was into—stuff I’d already texted! It’s always the first thing I send with my availability. When I have to repeat myself at the planning stage or when I get the impression I may have an encounter with someone who’s on auto-pilot, it leaves much to be desired. Engagement is key!

I used to collect those Starbucks city mugs. At first, it was just a couple from cities I’d been to, but then it got out of hand. One day, I looked around my kitchen and realized I had, like, 50 mugs, all stacked up, reminding me of places I could barely remember visiting. It got so bad that every time I walked into a Starbucks, I’d start sweating, like, “Do I need the mug from Topeka? Am I really going to tell people about that one time I had a layover there?” That’s when I knew I had a problem. Now, I just admire them from afar… most of the time.

I don’t arrange Ubers for providers anymore—too many unnecessary issues. Now, I just have them add it to their bill and arrange their own transportation. I’ve noticed that the few providers who request an Uber have also been the most disappointing. I’m already doing enough ‘prep’ work; it’s the least they can do.

Are you a provider who also dabbles as a paying client?

The Pass, which he starred, was a beautiful and heartbreaking movie.

I’m not entirely sure of your tastes, but Jake and Joe are solid picks. Both excellent tops! Jake has been around forever; he’s professional, dependable, and just a great guy. As for Joe, there’s something about him that gives me goosebumps. He’s funny, sweet, and incredibly passionate. He can adapt to your preferences. Just know, when the time comes, he will definitely devour you! https://rent.men/JakeMitchell#sponsor https://rent.men/JoeDicarlo

Saw the first episode. Couldn’t get into it. I am enjoying “High Potential” also on ABC. I’d recommend that.

I laugh, but so true! I don’t like when providers say things like, “I have X number of appointments before you, can you do 6pm instead?” or, “I can squeeze you in at 4pm.” I know I’m not your only client, but hearing it out loud really cheapens the experience or vibe. I prefer the illusion that I’m your sole focus for the day.

I was getting Liam Nesson vibes from Taken - “particular set of skills.”

A 5’10” guy with a six-pack at 125 pounds? Unless he’s made of helium, that’s not happening. Muscle weighs more than air, so he’d likely be in the 150-180 pound range. At 125, you’d get more skeleton than six-pack!

If it helps, start with plenty of foreplay to relax and stimulate, using fingers or toys to help ease into it. Deep breathing and staying relaxed can make a big difference. Use a lot of lube and change positions if needed to find what’s most comfortable. Communicate throughout.

I collect vinyl records from different decades. I love the analog sound and the cover art.

Speaking as a bottom… a college wrestler. 😜

People make many assumptions about sex work, especially when it challenges their perceptions. For some, it’s hard to understand that someone could choose this profession willingly, with a sense of agency, rather than out of necessity. I think it’s because society often positions sex—especially queer sex—as taboo or something sacred, while ignoring the fact that, for many, sex work is a vocation like any other. It allows people to provide a valuable service. And that’s not to say sex isn’t sacred for those who view it that way. I lost my gay virginity to a provider, and it was the best decision. He took my first time like it was sacred, and I felt really safe. I couldn’t have felt more special. Back then, I had the luxury of meeting the guy over lunch to see how I felt. I think that type of interaction is sometimes lost on some providers today—rightly or wrongly—but it made all the difference for me as a “first timer.” Assuming you find the right person, it can be an incredibly helpful, special, and empowering experience.

Nothing can replace the human touch.
