  1. Given this is in the Deli, are you asking which city has the most attractive escorts?
  2. My first sexual experiences were with older guys, one guy about 10 years older than me. That being said, when I was a twink I definitely was only into young looking guys. They didn't have to be as young as me, but I'm sure I found men in their thirties and older to be "too old" for me. I guess that's why it's never bothered me when young men have a hard age cut-off since I did, too. What's always puzzled me more is men around my age or older having similar age cut-offs. A guy in his forties or older who only wants guys under 25? That is foreign to me since my tastes have broadened as I've aged in terms of age and also a variety of other characteristics. (I basically was almost exclusively into the blond surfer type when I was young.)
  3. I think you need to contact Rainer to know for sure, but if you look at his full reviews on Rentmasseur (which still allows clients to indicate the rate they paid), the most recent review from June of this year indicates $300 for an hour long erotic massage. The next most recent review from May indicates $150 for a 60 minute sensual massage, and another review from the same month has a $300 rate for a 90 minute sensual massage. But just a few months before that someone wrote that he paid $150 for an hour long erotic massage. What can we glean from this? Dynamic pricing based on client's looks? Dynamic pricing depending on where the client is (i.e., charges more in areas with a higher cost of living)? Clients having differing definitions of what's erotic versus sensual? Could be all of that and more.
  4. I subscribed to someone new (new to me, but he's had his OF going for over a year) just a few days ago. So far he's shared one full length video, but it was something I had already seen on a file sharing site so clearly it wasn't a new video. Scrolling back through his timeline, I noticed a few other videos where he did repostings as if it was new content. At any rate, after I subscribed I got an automated email message from him offering, among other things, custom videos for $30 for 2 minutes plus $10 for each additional minute. Makes me wonder how many people are willing to pay that.
  5. If you think all of the escorts advertising on Rent.men in Paris look the same then you need a visit to the eye doctor. I just scrolled through the listings and found a variety, including twinks who did not have beards. When I limited the search results to men who selected blond, dark blond and light blond as their hair color, I got 37 matches. Granted, most of those guys aren't twinks but some of them are (further filtering to men who described themselves as twinks resulted in 11 matches). Now, looking at some of the photos makes me think some guys accidentally chose the wrong hair color (one guy is definitely dark brown or black haired), but there are at least a couple of clearly blond twinks who look appealing to me. Maybe you don't find any of them appealing, but that's not the same thing as saying there's no diversity in the looks of men advertising there. Of the three cities you mentioned, I do think there's more of a sameness to the looks in Barcelona.
  6. Am I missing something? The first post does have a lot of active links. It's just that the narrowed down list doesn't present links, though all of them are links above in the same post. (Maybe the forum software prevents the same link from posting twice in the same post?)
  7. So you want for free what he gave you in the context of a paid session? Sure, you can ask, but maybe the answer will be no and the guy will be so put off that you won't be able to hire him again, either.
  8. Maybe I missed it...I didn't see anyone's names in terms of those arrested or those believed to be victims of trafficking.
  9. His ad indicates he can host now.
  10. Yes, I find this suggestion odd given how few listings I found in Ann Arbor the last time I visited there. I don't think I saw any listings from someone in that age range. Maybe the suggestion is that the student population is available but only if you hit them up discreetly on Grindr or something?
  11. I didn't post what you are questioning, but I think the argument is that law enforcement is much more focused on attempting to help people who are being commercially sexually exploited and people who do sex work at a younger age are more likely to be doing so under the control of someone else.
  12. Quite honestly, this makes the most sense for someone who is new to hiring who has anxiety about entrapment or even safety concerns (i.e., they accidentally reach out to someone whose intent is just to rob them, not provide any service). But one thing I've read a number of times here needs to be repeated in this context: Particularly if you have a lot to lose (you're married to a woman and your spouse doesn't know you are having sex with me, or you have a job where this activity if exposed would cause you to lose your job), then get a phone number used exclusively for this activity and take other precautions to protect your anonymity. It's amazing to me how many heterosexually married men just operate as if they can do what they want and they won't get caught, and then it all blows up in their face when some escort tries to blackmail them.
  13. When law enforcement uses entrapment, they don't use actual providers to do so. Can you imagine an escort sometimes offering legitimate service to clients and then occasionally he's just helping the cops with surprise busts? There's no way that escort could ever be successful. The only instance I'm aware of this happening was in an episode of South Park (to hilarious effect). Is there a risk of entrapment? I guess. We don't hear about it much, so I assume the risk is low in most jurisdictions. If you live somewhere where the police have time on their hands and the inclination to do this, then don't hire.
  14. Interesting. Are guys with average, slightly chubby bodies now a big draw? Why would someone scam using a photo of a guy who looks like me might struggle getting clients if he were real? (Referring to the last two photos posted.)
  15. Given everything you've written, it really does sound like his decision is not about you but rather about him. Just move on and don't give it another thought.
  16. I don't get it. Unless one is actually part of the brains or creativity behind someone successful, I don't think it matters to the public at large that so-and-so was someone's wife, husband, undercover lover, or whatever. If I understand this situation, the guy was basically a kept boy for two successful men who are now dead and he now wants to capitalize on his connection to those men? If that's what this guy's "plight" is, he should just consider himself lucky for what he had and accept where he is in the present. Even the hottest guys age -- some retain significant sex appeal until they die, but even then there's no comparing Paul Newman at age 80 and Paul Newman at age 30, for example.
  17. True, I have no interest in him. I was just attempting to make a funny post since I have never seen the word "proving" used this way.
  18. I don't know because I'm not that wealthy, but if I understand your argument there should be premiere websites and agencies accessible to everyone who wants to hire, but then they should also offer access to the "best providers" or "celebs" that "are out of normal reach." I'd suggest that there probably are networks available to the very wealthy who hire, and they are specifically not available to most people because they are catering to the top 1% of wealth holders. If you are in that tier and haven't made such a connection, network with the other gay 1%ers to see what they recommend. If you're not in that tier of wealth, you're certainly welcome to make your own website (or hire someone to make it to your specifications) if you don't like Rent.men. Personally I am less bothered by Rent.men's functionality than I am with the ability for obvious scammers to put up ads over and over.
  19. What is he proving?
  20. I get it, but there are hundreds of thousands (or more, probably) of photos and videos online that can serve as jerk off material. Is the provider really so petty as to not want to allow someone to jerk off looking at his photos? It just seems so silly to me. since it isn't like the blocking will result in the person hiring them instead of looking at their photos. If anything, it makes an eventual booking much less likely. Maybe if the client rubs one out looking at a provider's photos he'll eventually decide he just has to meet the guy behind the photos.
  21. Yes, the word "star" gets used a lot. Performing in porn doesn't automatically make one a star, but it seems like most people use "porn star" to refer to anyone who appears in porn. I prefer the term "porn performer." Then again, where to draw the line in terms of what makes a star is tricky. I read a comment on a different site recently where someone said she'd never heard of Jason Mraz until his coming out made news, and my initial reaction was to think it's ridiculous that someone who has sold millions of records would be perceived as a "nobody." But then I realized that if someone either didn't pay attention to pop music at all or pop music of a certain era, it's quite possible the "stars" of that era would be unknown. So I can see Mr. Cunningham being a "track star" to those who closely follow the sport but to the rest of us it's "who's that?"
  22. I've read here that some providers will block people who view their photos a lot without reaching out to them to book. I'm not sure why that would bother a provider since I don't think their ad rate is dependent on how many times its viewed, but it seems to rub some guys the wrong way.
  23. Not sure what happened here, but I cannot even read the text in the OP in dark mode. Usually when that happens I can highlight the block of text to read it, but in this case that still doesn't make it readable. If I turn off dark mode, I can read it.
  24. Five. My then boyfriend and I were visiting a friend out of town and he invited another couple to join us for lunch. We all ended up back at his apartment for a little fun. That was the only time I was with more than two other guys at once. I actually don't like group sex very much. I don't even like watching it. Threeways can be fun if the chemistry is right (everyone is into each other) and if everyone is sexually compatible (not everyone wants to be in the same role), but I have always preferred one on one.
  25. Interesting that this guy's Rentmen ad has only one photo and he's completely clothed, whereas the Rentmasseur has two photos of him without a shirt on. His Rentmen ad also indicates that he's straight and has a piercing (which isn't visible in the Rentmasseur ad, but maybe he has a guiche or some other genital piercing. Or maybe these ads are pure BS.
