I'm confused why anyone would be afraid after showing up if the guy's house had "dated decor." Unless the decor was glorifying serial killers or something like that, how would decor make anyone feel unsafe?

I learned that the hard way. I try to avoid LAX when visiting Los Angeles.

You might want to edit the thread title again, if you can. I don't know anything about Toony.

There's a handsome gay couple on the new season of the Food Network's Great Food Truck Race. Their business is called Bug and Bear's Cannoli and is based in West Hollywood. Here's hoping they go far, if only for the eye candy. (This isn't the best photo of the clean shaven one. He's definitely much cuter than this photo might have you believe.)

Do you mean this guy?

By "free to download," you mean that if you subscribe to his OF page (for a fee, of course) his previously PPV content is available to see for no additional cost?

Ad is already gone.

Yes, it's annoying to have someone ask for more money at the end of the session. It isn't like I welcome an upsell in the middle of a session, but if I hire a guy for a standard massage and it's clear that more is on the table and I'm sending out vibes that I'd welcome that, I don't mind a guy being direct and giving me a new price if I want more. That allows me to decide whether I want to pay that rate for more or just stick with what I agreed to.

At the very least, you need to have some online presence if you want to work as an escort. Twenty-five years ago you could have simply posted an ad on Craigslist whenever you were looking for a client, and removed the ad when you got the work you wanted. I'm not aware of any site that works like that currently, though, and I doubt you'll find enough clients here just by posting here when there are hundreds of working guys in your area whose photos are easily viewable on Rentmen, along with other information about them.

People are asking about Craigslist ads here? I hadn't noticed that. I used to hire off Craigslist decades ago, but since they got rid of the massage and m4m/casual encounters categories there isn't any reason to go to Craigslist for massage or hookups. I just looked at the ads in the "health" category near me and there are a couple of massage ads, but not enough to make it worth while returning to the site.

Report you to law enforcement? They certainly wouldn't take a report if it's just that the client hired an unlicensed masseur who didn't do a good job from the client's perspective. Now if they reported that you were actually agreeing to provide sexual services under the guise of being a masseur, I'm sure some police departments might be interested in that.

I assume escorting is like lots of other businesses in many respects, but there is one major difference. No one cares if their plumber is 30 years old or 60 years old, but plenty of men hiring escorts would choose a 30 year old but never hire a 60 year old, regardless of how they look. I'm only raising this point because I assume that working as an escort is especially difficult as a long-term career. I'm assuming (but don't have any data to back this assumption up) that the men who remain successful escorts for decades have long-term/repeat clients as well as a generally positive reputation that draws at least some newcomers to them. I'd also like to point out that like many other businesses, sometimes you can be highly in demand and then your business dwindles. I've seen so many restaurants decline in popularity over the years, ultimately leading to their closure. Not every successful business remains open long-term. I know some guys still advertise on Rentmen after being in the business for 25+ years, but I have no idea what their income is now versus 25 years ago.

You're still a young one, then.

Gabriel Coimbra is currently one of my favorites. He has a large cock and obviously enjoys what he's doing. Porn is so much better today than when I was younger, generally speaking. Having never worked in porn, I don't know why the vast majority of it seemed so boring 40 years ago but I have a sense that it was simply too much focus on the wrong things. How hot can sex get when the men involved are being interrupted repeatedly by the director so the cameraman can get a different shot?

I've seen it advertised a lot but have never purchased it. It just looks like a high-priced "solution" to a problem that doesn't really exist. Sure, because it is filtered it has more protein and less sugar than regular milk, but the difference isn't that significant unless you drink a lot of milk. I don't know any adult who actually drinks milk apart from adding it to coffee or on cereal, so the few grams difference per cup doesn't seem that significant to me. Besides, how many people in the USA are actually deficient on protein in their diets?

It's obviously a problem if they ask you to give them the gift card details before you meet them since that's the same as sending money in advance via Venmo or Zelle. I'm not sure why someone would ask for a gift card versus cash, though, since it obviously limits where they can spend their earnings. And, as a client, the gift card can be traced to you unless you buy a physical card in a store using cash.

Did you meet the first abcdefg? If not, my first thought is that it could be a scammer who reactivated an old ad with new photos to scam some more. This is assuming that you don't literally mean the name was abcdefg. If the name is something that multiple people might think of (e.g., LatinoUC, HungJake, etc) then it's certainly possible that Rentmen allows a new advertiser to use a name that was previously used by someone else. I would think that their site software would prohibit it, but given the way that site is generally run it wouldn't surprise me if they would allow the same name to be used more than once.

I did not learn money management from my parents and I didn't learn it in school. I actually didn't learn about it until my mid 20s when my boyfriend at the time learned that I had maxed out my credit card twice (first time paid off by my dad, and the current reality that I was at my max again). It wasn't that I was dumb; I was just ignorant. Once I saw the math in black-and-white, it was easy to change my spending habits to get out of debt and live within my means. It's been so long since middle and high school that I hesitate to post this lest my memory be faulty, but despite me doing well in math classes I don't think the lessons ever involved finance. I think that's a mistake. It's great to understand the Pythagorean Theorem but I think it would be even more valuable to make sure students learned about basic money management.

I'm not going to watch the video and I don't mean to diminish your response to it, but just based on the thumbnail my first reaction is "why is a church spending so much money on a vanity project when something lesser would do and they could spend that money helping those in poverty?"

The average life expectancy in the USA is 79 1/2 years. What is 66 if not elderly?

I assume this guy is hot in person, but his photo collection has to be among the worst I've seen in terms of editing. The photo that's currently his main/first photo on Rentmasseur looks more like a painting or drawing than a photograph.

I frequently use the word "provider" because it encompasses both masseurs and escorts and there isn't always a clear distinction between the two.

I'll be blunt (I frequently am): You think that hiring an escort for oral only is a "bit of overkill" but isn't hiring a masseur for oral sex the reverse? That being said, a lot of guys advertise as masseurs yet it's clear they are actually doing sex work, and a lot of guys advertising on Rentmen focus on massage. I don't think any masseur that I hired whom I asked if more was on the table for an additional fee were offended, but I definitely received a lot of "no" answers along with many "yes" answers with an indication of how much more compensation they expected. And, as I have posted previously, I have had numerous experiences where masseurs went a lot further with me than I anticipated. I guess my advice is that as long as you aren't hiring men off websites where it's clear they are not offering gay-male focused massage, you should feel comfortable asking for what you want. Just don't be a jerk about it and expect escort-lite experiences for the same price as a rub-and-tug.
