down_to_business

I am barely willing to fly domestically at the moment. No way in hell I would get on a ship and risk what others have talked about (quarantine etc.). I also couldn't fathom eating off a buffet in this environment.

Full disclosure though, I hope people are willing as I invested in cruise stocks after the huge drop in prices hoping for an eventual recovery.

Kissing someone I have an attraction for or have made an intimate connection with is amazing. It has a way of making any other sexual act much more enjoyable for me. I can't think of any sexual encounter I have had where kissing wasn't involved that I would actually want to repeat. I don't even like to have anal sex at all if kissing isn't going to be a part of it.

Note that kissing someone I don't have an attraction or connection to is pretty unbearable though.

Can't find a mask or even hand sanitizer at any store (near me). By the way, while they claim masks won't work, they contradict themselves by claiming that people getting masks are taking them away from health care workers who need them. If the N95 masks aren't helpful at all, why would it benefit health care workers to wear them? While I don't want to wear a mask every single day, I would have liked to wear one on the plane (see below) if I decided to go on my trip.

Personally, I am on the fence about cancelling my upcoming trip to Las Vegas. Vegas is a very transient town (visitors from all over with an abundance from areas hit hard) and there are usually big crowds and people packed together.

You have given your friends excellent advice. Until the Coronavirus is under control there is way too much uncertainty to properly gage the effects. Escorting is a very intimate experience and transmission could be way too easy between people who may not even know they are affected (i.e. showing no signs but are contagious).

I personally will be limiting myself greatly in any such activity (escort related as well as random hookups) until I have a lot more facts and certainty. Short-term this will be VERY BAD for escorting. How long that lasts is unknown, but eventually, will recover.

Have been on the receiving end of this twice over the years (2 different escorts). First experience, escort no called, no showed. The other time, the escort showed up as planned.

Sorry you are going through this, it sucks!

Personal experience with Peter Hung and Brian Strowkes (recommended by Kaboom and others above) and second that recommendation. If not going with one of those, would probably bring someone in from Cali or another location.

Have also met others there that were ok. No one advertising there currently that I have met and would absolutely avoid...although real bad experience with communication (VegasLoverBlaze .. current name) and would never contact him again... but never met him.

I get hit on by female escorts there all the time. Always tell them I am gay and most of them tell me they are too and then go off and leave me alone.

But damn I like the pic he just posted today

Wish I would have seen this thread before I wasted my time reaching out to him. $1000 an hour

He never responded to me when I asked his rate, but he did unlock his gallery for me. Cute but not even close to my budget.

I can also recommend AlxWard, but I haven't seen him in recent years. I did see him quite a few times before though.

I saw him (again) very recently. Total class act and one of the best escorts I have ever met. A definite repeat for me.

(all these observations come from only meeting them "socially" at the Palm Spgs forum weekend)

A true gem. I met him at Palm Springs and didn't 'do' anything. I did a quick round of the pool party and said good bye to him, but that was a 2-3 minute deep kiss. Truly memorable. I'll be back if I can.

Jumping on the bandwagon even though I never actually met this escort myself. He showed me his tremendous character when having never even spoken to me before... he offered to join me on a European cruise that another escort had backed out at the last minute, so my dream vacation wouldn't be ruined. While I did ultimately decide not to take his kind offer (logistically there was no way to make it work and many of the venues would not allow changes of named persons) or go on this trip (losing airfare, cruise charges, prepaid booked tours and hotels that were all non-refundable), I will never forgot his kindness and concern at a very low point in my life.

As soon as I read your post (and before any names were mentioned) I had guessed this was who you were talking about even though I had only met him once and for an hour.

Sorry you had this experience and I hope you can learn from it in the future.

I definitely wouldn't describe him (or his body) as twink. Check him out live on chaturbate to see what he looks like.

My personal experience was his communication was good. If I recall he does not respond if he gets a not serious or not real vibe.

If you get a chance to see this show in Las Vegas, do so. It's fun and has a whole lot of eye candy including the incredible Pavel Stankevich. Atomic Saloon is at the Venetian.

His friendship with Cameron Taylor end bad too. Saw Cameron for the third time and he was alone this time. Told me he was glad to leave him and only he'll miss are his dogs.

Cameron is such a sweetheart too... so sad.

It would be appropriate for an escort to increase his rate providing notification was given in advance of the booking. I do not think it is appropriate to increase rates after a booking is made. I would never expect to be grandfathered in to existing rates, but would absolutely appreciate it (i.e. Peter Hung).

In the end, my spending on this activity is somewhat of a budgeted matter. If, for example, an escort was charging me $200 and hour and he increased it to $250, I may hire him 4 times a year instead of 5 to stay within my $1000 hypothetical budget. I would also, more than likely, decrease any gratuity accordingly. However, just like with any other price increase I face (i.e. auto insurance rates going up), there is the very likely result that I will start to see what else is out there. Without that price increase, if I was happy with the service I was receiving, I would never have considered leaving. So the likely outcome would be, initially not much of a change on amount spent and (unless they were truly amazing) long term, a reduction in frequency or total replacement by another service provider.

The last thing I want to do before bottoming is go out and eat dinner!

If I am going to meet with an escort for an hour, no personal information is usually exchanged. If I am meeting with an escort for an overnight or longer, we usually do exchange some degree of personal information -- mostly so I can book his flight if applicable. In general I let the escort set the pace of when and how much we share, as long as there is a likelihood I will want to see him again. I wouldn't ever press or force the exchange of personal information if it was not needed.

Tried to meet, didn't happen. Bad experience, lost airfare and other expenses. Additionally, his advertised pics changed and he had a few name changes after I booked. Wouldn't ever try again.

Good luck!

I have done weekends or longer with 6 different escorts. I don't see any of them currently for various reasons. The longest I hired someone for was about 2 weeks. I had done several weekends with that escort prior and would probably still be seeing him today if he was still escorting. I did cruises with 2 of the others and they varied from meh to disaster. Another one became a friend instead of an escort. Of the two others (resort destination), one was good and one wasn't.

I currently am working towards doing a weekend with a new escort. I have done an hourly first, and then an overnight so far with him. Depending upon how this goes, I may eventually be able to give a recommendation.

In general I prefer to spend an hour and increase that to an overnight for the encore if that goes really well. An escort has to completely blow me away for me to want to pursue a weekend or longer nowdays.

if you wouldn't have expressed a preference for avoiding heat, I would have recommended Austin or New Orleans... however, based on your post...

1. Knoxville, TN

2. Bellingham, WA

2nd tier: Vancouver, WA

I would more than likely not include an escort in my will unless we had somehow pierced the strict provider/client boundary. I similarly wouldn't put a doctor or lawyer or any other person in similar fashion. If any professional was also a very good friend, or became a very good friend along the way (even if we started as just business associates), then by all means I would consider it. Based on my past experiences, there was one escort that would have met this qualification.

In general, however, the bulk of my charitable giving is animal focused.

You can see him on-line as others have pointed out. I found him to be responsive unless he determines (for whatever reason and rightly or wrongly) you are not a serious client. Yes, I have met him.
