Why would I want to use such software? I'm not trying to model my life on some right-wing "Christian" notion of what's right and wrong.

So, do we have any serious feedback about this guy? I see that his reviews on Rentmen are all positive, with some being posted by clients who are obviously legitimate given their review history there.

Are we to understand that after making you wait 30 minutes past your appointment time that he got irritated with you for taking two extra minutes to get to his room? I would have just left and told him I was doing so due to his poor attitude/lack of professionalism. It sounds like you proceeded with your session. How was it? Was he actually focused on your needs and not his once you arrived?

Yes, I mind vaping. When vaping was relatively new, a couple of co-workers near me started vaping. I really wasn't paying attention to it, but after a while I started wondering why it so frequently smelled like an acrid cleaning solution was being used in the area. It not only smelled bad but was bothering my eyes in a similar way as cigarette smoke, though obviously a lot less severely. Fortunately the problem was nipped in the bud when management clarified to staff that the non-smoking ordinance also applied to vaping, meaning that people needed to go outside if they wanted to vape. I honestly don't understand how someone can inhale that stuff and not realize it's toxic, but I guess if you're used to worse (tobacco and all of its additives) it doesn't seem so bad.

I assume some similar reasons when providers stand up clients. I have traveled to hotels where an escort is staying and rang and texted them, only to be ignored. I have had confirmed appointments at my home where the provider simply never showed up and didn't reply to texts asking where he is. So my #1 reason is that some people are just inconsiderate and think that plans made with others don't need to be kept if they decide to do something else, whatever that may be.

I was quoting a previous poster who claims to have a friend who was coerced into sex work under duress of outing him to his family. I didn't assume that that story was true or false. I simply said it's one thing to coerce or force someone into sex work. It's another thing to say, "hey, you're a hot guy and you can make some good money if you attend this orgy." And, again, I'm not saying that that actually happened in the AF case. I'm just saying the two things are not equivalent in my mind. I'm not sure if you just want to pick a fight or if you honestly misread my post.

I see a huge difference between coercion (as in the example above of threatening to out someone if they won't do sex work) and someone who wants to make money based on their looks being invited to places to have sex for money where they can freely decline to participate or, for that matter, to simply decline the invitation.

I wouldn't necessarily jump to that conclusion. Rimming poses a risk, particularly to the person rimming, but if you get an intestinal parasite it can be treated and won't kill you. Similarly something that might get caught with unprotected oral, and I note that his profile indicates "safe only" so I assume he doesn't do anal without a condom. Having your mouth open right next to someone and exchanging saliva poses a risk of COVID infection more than these other activities, so maybe that's why kissing is off his list. Or maybe he just doesn't list it so he doesn't find himself in a position of feeling obligated to kiss someone when he doesn't want to. There are a lot of people with horrible breath.

Aha! You are the first one who noticed the error. I just auto-corrected it in my mind to $500.

JTtorretto: I don't know the truth any more than you do since neither of us was party to the transaction, unless you are going to tell us you are the escort in question. You are making a lot of assumptions about who said what. While I'm not suggesting it's invalid to question the client's version of events, I don't think that simply making up an alternate story helps. I would note: Just because someone has money to hire a lawyer when they are under duress and don't know what to do doesn't mean that that person had discretionary funds sitting around for hiring escorts. Nowhere do I see that the client claimed to be "broke," just that he was having "financial issues." If you want to blame the client for anything, question why he didn't block the escort sooner and ultimately accepted the alleged offer of a free hookup. After all, he states that he hired the guy a "few times" and that it "wasn't a great experience." Why get together again, then, even for free?

I have no problem searching "everywhere." I did that for this guy and got search results. What is confusing about searching here is that if you are in a thread and try to search, the default search is for that thread only. You have to remember to change it to "everywhere" or you won't find anything outside of the thread you are currently reading.

No, I think it's to try to stop guys from sending messages of interest that don't initially mention money that then lead to a request for a "donation" after there's an expression of mutual interest. In other words, don't act like you're interested in me if your ultimate goal is to get a client because I am not willing to pay anyone.

Yes, and one was started just a couple of weeks ago. I don't understand having such a generic thread title, either. Is this the equivalent of click bait?

I'm guessing your question at the end isn't serious, but just in case it is here's the answer: When Ellen DeGeneres' talk show aired, she had a shop that sold various things and one of the things she marketed the most was underwear with her name on the waistband. She frequently gave underwear to handsome male actors who appeared on her show, and they would have conversations about how great her underwear was.

Link above doesn't work for me. I assume this is the guy? https://rentmen.eu/CoreyJack

When I started hiring frequently around 2000, rates were almost always between $150 and $200 per hour. Today that would be between $268 and $358 per hour. It's probably not that difficult to find someone who charges $350 per hour, but at least where I live I don't think I've seen anyone charge under $300 per hour for quite a while.

Seems like a lot of money to spend to just blow someone. Did you search the forum for previous discussions regarding him? Here's one, for example:

Or don't do those things if you are operating on the DL. I wouldn't care if someone threatened to show photos of me to my friends because the only photos someone would receive from me are the ones I would put up on a site like Adam4Adam. Typically I don't have full frontal shots that show my face, but obviously someone could attempt to put the face photo and naked torso together to "prove" it's me. That never really mattered to me, though, since no one would be surprised that I'm gay and that I look for sex with men online. No one deserves to be blackmailed (obviously). I'm on the side of those saying that it makes more sense to call the blackmailer's bluff by indicating you will contact law enforcement if they continue to harass you after you block their initial number. Never give into a blackmailer's threats by giving them money. Why would anyone assume that someone who is willing to do that is a man of his word who will stop the blackmailing after they get the money they want? All paying their demand accomplishes is identifying you as someone who is so worried about their threats that you are willing to send them money.

I'm confused by your post. On the one hand, you applaud the breakdown of stereotypes when it comes to older men being as sexually desirable as younger men, but then you close with the stereotype that younger men are "likely cocky and unpleasant" while older men will "almost certainly (provide) a more enjoyable experience."

Got gas at a Costco in northern California this past weekend. $4.99 per gallon. Costco is usually much closer in price to other lower priced stations in the area (typically within 10 to 15 cents per gallon), but the closest price I noticed at any competitor this past weekend was $5.47 per gallon.

Friendboy.pro's warning is this: "When call or text him, tell you found his info on Friendboy.pro site! If a guy asks for a gift card or for a cash-app - the best will be to stop communicating with him and to send a note or a comment on Friendboy.pro about a potential scam artist NEVER SEND ANYTHING TO STRANGERS" I don't interpret this warning as having anything to do with payment methods after you've had a session with someone; rather, it's a warning not to send money to someone who asks for it after a mere inquiry about his service.

Thank you. That's exactly what I did two decades ago with the college student I hired frequently over the period of a couple of years, along with tipping him more generously than I did providers whose rates were more aligned with the market.

I remember having more of your nervousness when I was new to hiring. I'll just throw out some ideas that will hopefully calm some of your anxiety: There definitely aren't police stings in San Francisco for men hiring escorts online, assuming you don't go after someone who looks too young (and I don't even know if law enforcement is using their resources to address sex exploitation like that), so I really don't think there's a reason to be concerned with law enforcement here. I cannot speak to the other cities you listed. I think a far bigger concern would be to choose some shady character who attempts to harm/extort you. Since you mention your career could be at risk if this came to light, it doesn't take law enforcement for your hiring to become public knowledge. There have been previous threads here about providers who attempted to blackmail clients after having gotten personal information about them using their phone number, address, real name, etc. I personally never worried about this because I didn't care if my family found out and don't think it would have impacted my job, but if you are in that position my recommendation is this: Stick to guys with a proven track record of providing services and getting positive reviews. I'm not talking a few 5-star reviews on Rentmen, which can be manipulated quite easily by a shady alleged provider. I'm talking about following forum advice and hiring guys who have a positive reputation amongst members here. Now that I attempted to minimize your anxiety a bit, I will perhaps raise it with this somewhat scary tale from my past: I called a phone number in an escort ad on Craigslist 25 years or so ago and the number I called was answered "San Francisco Police Department." I hung up. I got a call back and got a "lecture" from someone saying I should be careful about what I was doing because I could get in trouble. I don't think the call back was from the police. I think some vigilante was just playing games and trying to scare people who were hiring escorts.

I'll be the contrarian here. I think there's a lot of justification/rationalization on this site regarding rates and quality. I actually don't think that higher rates necessarily equates to a better quality experience. Some of the worst erotic massages I ever had were from guys who charged the most. One of my favorite escorts (whom I hired many times) was a college student who set his rates so low that I always tipped him very generously. My other regular had rates that were average at the time. I also used to hire off Craigslist quite a lot and had many good experiences with guys whose rates were on the lower end, and a few times I hired guys with higher profiles for a higher rate and didn't enjoy myself nearly as much. One of the worst was a "porn star" who just seemed haggard and very well may have been coming down off a meth bender. I'm not saying that I never enjoyed myself with someone whose rates were towards the top of the tier; I'm just saying that my enjoyment historically has had little correlation with how much I was paying.

Maybe it's the early hour (damned insomnia!), but I am already confused by this thread. Is the question whether the guy pictured in the ad actually the person advertising escort services? Or is the question whether those photos actually depict a real person? Is the response a confirmation that the photos are of a real person? Or is there a suggestion that the guy pictured in the ad is the one actually advertising? I ask because I assume the issue at hand is whether this is a legit escort ad and not yet another one with stolen photos, but the conversation so far seems more about identifying that the photos belong to someone.
