My love of opera came from quite a selfish place to begin. As a young, junior high choir and church choir tenor, I began taking solo singing lessons from my school choir director in 7th grade. I enjoyed learning about singing technique, though I was gifted with only a light tenor voice. My dad loved to play (self-taught) guitar and sing, mainly old country music like Hank Williams, my mom enjoyed singing hymns in our church congregation, so neither liked opera. My dad got so tired when I was listening to opera once that he yelled into my room, “Isn’t she (the soprano) dead, yet?” Anyway, neither of my parents ever cared for opera at all. As a young singer of about 12 or 13, I decided opera had to be the ultimate “highest of the higher arts!” Really a pretty selfish reason to begin listening to the art form, for some sort of perceived or hoped for, increased social status. I began listening to a local college radio show which had a weekly music broadcast which played excerpts from Italian, French and German operas, one opera each week. Around the same time, my parents gave me a birthday present of a reel to reel tape recorder, so I could record these programs, and listen repeatedly to “educate” myself. What happened, though, was that I began to love opera and certain operatic singers, especially sopranos at first. Two of those radio broadcasts especially enlightened me: excerpts from Faust, with de los Angeles, Gedda and Christoff, and excerpts from Boheme, with de los Angeles, Bjorling and Merrill. A year or so later, I discovered the Saturday afternoon MET broadcasts, and I became a true “opera lover.” After that, there was no going back. Although I realized opera per se was not a ladder to social status, I became a lifelong follower of the art form! TruHart1 😎

It’s very simple. I see a man on RentMen who makes my heart beat faster. I then vet the aforementioned escort - by reading their reviews, sending inquiries to a few of the reviewers who describe them as a “life-changing experience,” and finally, asking on this forum if anybody has ever enjoyed this man’s company. If he passes all these tests, I contact him about meating! Then the best part. I set up an appointment for a certain date and time, we meet for a planned period, and I leave. The great thing is there are no surprises, I don’t have to meet a stranger’s ideas of who I am, or try to impress him. If our chemistry is great and he agrees, he may even become a regular. I am lucky enough to continue enjoying a number of regulars as I pursue this wonderful hobby. Additionally, there are quite a number of men I can count as friends whom I first met as escorts. This is why I hire! TruHart1 😎

Freudian slip, no. Tongue in cheek, perhaps!! LOL!!! TruHart1 😎

The name “Apollo Phoenix” is actually one of the names he used when he was making adult videos! You can easily google the name and find some of his videos. He also used the name “Joe Thunder” for some of his adult videos. I agree with all of the positive comment about Apollo Phoenix on this thread. If you are lucky enough to meat with him you will NOT be disappointed. He’s truly a wonderful guy! TruHart1 😎

Wow!!! I had one tremendously memorable session with Jay way back in 2014 when I had traveled to Chicago to hire two of my favorites, now retired - Raul G. Manzo and Andrew Justice! I had seen a number of his Luke Milan videos before I hired him, but he surpassed any expectations I had, beyond my wildest dreams! Back then he impressed me with his enthusiasm in bed, his excellent kissing, and his willingness to accommodate me in everything I asked him to do with me. A gorgeous twink on his way to being a perfect twunk! It was only a two hour session, and I still remember how wonderful I felt after our time together! Soon after that, he retired from the business. 34 years old sounds pretty logical, since he was definitely in his early twenties then. If he ever makes it to my area, I’d definitely want to see him again!!! TruHart1 😎

Personally, and every client-to-be may make their own choices as to how they judge any “red flags” an extraordinary amount of positive reviews may cause, I have been extremely lucky in almost all encounters I’ve experienced with providers who do have many, many more reviews than 6-10. From my first timid hire on a trip to NYC nearly 15 years ago, when I spent months perusing RentBoy reviews until I felt I had found my “perfect” escort, to my most recent escort, who became a regular, never failing to surprise me (in the best ways!) each and every time I hired him, I have begun my vetting process to hire new providers by reading their reviews, the more positive reviews, the better, IMO. My most recent regular has 112 positive RM reviews (and counting) and every single review expounds on the unique pleasures and excitement delivered by this man to themselves! Nearly every disappointing escort session I have experienced has been with escorts who had only a few to no reviews, who I hired because their ad pictures were so hot to me. I feel extremely lucky my first hire WAS the perfect escort for me, realizing how timid and naive I was, he explained basically how the client/escort dynamic worked in the best circumstances. The NUMBER of an escort’s reviews seems irrelevant to me, excellent reviews are excellent reviews, no matter the number. TruHart1 😎

I know this thread is about body parts (and I’ve always found his prominent ears to be extremely sexy!) but Russell is such a talented and beautiful human being who is so much more than the sum of his “parts!” TruHart1 😎

The following is a memoir of Dame Maggie Smith by a younger actor, Danny Lee Wynter (born 1985) who fell in love with her as a boy watching “Hook” (1991) again and again, and who ended up being cast in the TV film “Capturing Mary” (2007) with Dame Maggie. I post only the link below because his post is quite long, but very moving, proving that She was a pretty impressive person IRL! TruHart1 😎

Dame Maggie In “The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie” (1969) completely changed my young teen-aged outlook on the art of acting in film. As an opera aficionado, I absolutely loved the more recent “Quartet” (2012) She was so excellent in everything she did! Truly one of a kind! TruHart1 😎

Just a happy update to the above. I sent another email to Armand about a week ago and he answered me this time, writing: ”i dont use this email more, but once every now and then i get messages from my clients. Im doing well, started my own business, i own a souvenir shop in Mexico, recently i opened a second one, it keeps me busy and i really love living here, everyting is going great with me, thanks for checking on me.” It’s certainly great to know he is doing so well, and is successful in the career he’s chosen since his “retirement!” TruHart1 😎

Here is a small sampling of Armand’s photos. TruHart1 😎

I first met him under the name “Armand,” but his RM ad was always under “Armann.” He was one of my favorite hires, and I got to enjoy his company every three months or so before the pandemic. He always furnished a very unique BFE, and was an exceptional lover, who really knew his way in the bedroom! Armand was based in Mexico. In early 2021, I was still not hiring (because of the pandemic!) and I got an email from him advising he would be visiting my city in a week or so (he preferred direct email to communicate until he set up an appointment.) I advised him that I was still not hiring at all but wished him the best. The last communication I received from him told me about him being stopped at the U.S. border and his phone and laptop confiscated. He said they searched both and decided he was entering illegally on a visitor’s visa to work in the U.S. He experienced a week in hell, jailed for the week, until he was finally able to contact an attorney who got an agreement for him to pay a $5,000 (or more) fine, and had his visitor’s visa revoked for five to seven years! I miss him because he was one of the best escorts I’ve ever been lucky enough to meet! I did write a glowing review back before you had to pay to review like RM requires now. I, too, wish him only the best. As he wrote in his book, he enjoyed traveling around to smaller Midwest cities, which is how I met him. i’ve tried to contact him a number of times since, but never had any response from him since that last communication.

I’d love to see Bernadette play Mame!!! TruHart1 😎

I went through a “closeted married man” period a number of years ago and to a man, none of them ever even had an inkling of how to clean up down there! I thought the idea of rimming was disgusting! Fast forward a few years to my first escort hire and suddenly I found he not only was clean down there, but squeaky clean! I have found that to be true with nearly every escort I’ve met since, and have become addicted to “eating out,” now one of my favorite pastimes!!! TruHart1 😎
