One of my newer fascinations is Diego Platano (aka SoyUnPlatano). What a cutie.

I like seeing well built men in skin tight clothing, but I'm not going to disparage anyone of any size who feels confident enough to wear something that clings to their body. I can always look away.

I think any serious discussion of the "whys" is political, and I assume the political message board got eliminated for a reason so I will avoid venturing into that territory. As someone who has lived in San Francisco since the mid 1980s, I can say that this decay has been going on for quite a long time but really escalated due to the pandemic. San Francisco has not really recovered from the lock-downs the way other U.S. cities have. Downtown is still a shell of its former self. A lot of businesses throughout the city shuttered and nothing has opened to replace them. A lot of productive people left (census says 7% population loss between 2020 and 2022), but from appearances the homeless population did not decrease during that time but rather increased. So the percentage of mentally ill and drug addled individuals roaming the streets versus people who are able to take care of themselves properly has changed, making the challenges associated with homelessness even more visible. There is also seemingly no longer any effort to abate graffiti, so just moving around the city you get the sense that it's falling apart and no one cares. I honestly don't think it's a problem of money spent on services or that services aren't available. San Francisco spends a lot of money to serve people with mental illness and/or drug addiction, or simply to help house people who are homeless without those issues. I won't blame this all on the pandemic, though, since I started feeling alarmed about the downturn here before 2020. For a number of years I walked to a gym in the middle of the night to work out. I cannot recall exactly which year it was, but several years ago I just stopped feeling safe walking by myself at 4:00 a.m. Before that, I would typically encounter no one on my walk or maybe I'd see a trash collector. But I started encountering a lot more people on my walks, and some of them were obviously potentially dangerous (screaming at the top of their lungs, using some object to take their rage out on various objects in their vicinity) and others who simply gave me an uneasy feeling (like someone sizing me up to see if I was a good candidate for a mugging). I decided to start using the much less well equipped gym in my condo complex than continue to risk walking alone in the middle of the night.

I don't know if I am just misinterpreting your post, but that sounds like sexual assault to me.

When I first realized I loved Dolly: I am sure I had heard Jolene before, but I don't know that I had heard anything else by Dolly other than her then-current hit single, Here You Come Again. At the time, I belonged to Columbia House Music Club (remember the music clubs?) and decided to buy Dolly's " New Harvest...First Gathering" album so I could get that hit and see what else she had to offer. Imagine my initial dismay when the album arrived and I realized that Here You Come Again was nowhere to be found. My disappointment turned to love before the first track ended. For anyone who doesn't know this album, it opens with the track "Light Of A Clear Blue Morning," which is basically a response to her split with former music partner Porter Wagoner. I knew nothing of any of that at the time, though; I just knew that the song and her voice blew my mind.

Hiring As A Teaching Tool
maninsoma replied to CuriosityKilledTheCat's topic in Questions About Hiring
Sorry, I cannot resist: You push the right dick in You pull the right dick out You push the right dick in And you shake it all about You do the hokey pokey and you turn yourself around (if you're versatile) That's what it's all about. On a more serious note, if you want your first time topping to be with an experience bottom then there is no harm in hiring someone. That being said, a lot of gay men have topped or bottomed for the first time without any lessons because it is as simple as doing the hokey pokey. -
I'm pretty sure his bottoming scenes with Austin Wolf and Acrodave were without condoms. Austin came on his ass but not in it, and if I remember right the scene with Acrodave suggests he came inside John but it was probably a fake orgasm.

Note to everyone in the USA: Just because the age of consent might be lower in a certain country, if you travel somewhere for the purpose of hiring someone who isn't old enough for you to have sex with in the USA you can be prosecuted upon your return. I only know this because I remember reading about some man who visited Thailand a lot for sex and ended up in jail after one of his trips due to his regular hiring of guys who wouldn't be of age here. Prosecutors had a lot of evidence on the guy's phone that demonstrated the purpose of his trips was sex tourism.

Some NYC restaurants saying 'no' to influencers! No pics allowed!
maninsoma replied to marylander1940's topic in The Lounge
I don't support banning phones in restaurants, but I certainly understand a restaurant having a clearly stated policy that they don't provide discounts or comped meals/drinks in exchange for social media marketing. Some of these "influencers" have an inflated sense of their power to persuade people to patronize a specific business. -
Possibly sensitive - Should providers be sharing pet peeves?
maninsoma replied to rojjodc's topic in Questions About Hiring
I really don't understand the confusion regarding DaddyPhoenixXXX. His ad specifically states he wants to be bred all night long. Even if a trans man has had bottom surgery, he still cannot ejaculate seminal fluid out of his penis. So his request for "natural born men" makes sense. If you want to criticize him for attempting to monetize his sex life (a discussion that's been had on more than one thread here recently), that's valid. You could argue that he shouldn't be looking for a certain type of sexual experience as an escort and it shouldn't matter to him whether the top can ejaculate or, for that matter, whether someone even wants to top him. But he's far from the only escort who markets himself as offering a specific type of experience. I just don't see the leap from someone basically marketing himself as a pig bottom to making him out to be anti-trans. He may have friends who are trans but just isn't into getting fucked by them because he wants his ass to leak cum after an encounter ends. -
I can certainly understand why you posted that reply. It's more than a little difficult to take that post at face value.

Possibly sensitive - Should providers be sharing pet peeves?
maninsoma replied to rojjodc's topic in Questions About Hiring
I don't think stating "no drugs" is the same as expressing a pet peeve. I think of a pet peeve is something that annoys you that might not annoy a lot of other people. Someone expressing a desire to not be around people who are under the influence of something is just setting a limit or condition. As to the second ad, it sounds like he wants to be fucked all night long with the guy cumming inside of him repeatedly. Makes sense that he only wants clients who were born male if that's the kind of experience he has to offer. -
I think that's the way it's always looked for me. Note that it says "featured masseurs." If you search for your area, the layout should be what you are used to because then it will display a grid of all of the masseurs in your area.

If you are using a Windows computer, use Chrome instead of Firefox. I couldn't get this to work with Firefox. Go to the site: https://hide.me/en/proxy In the box on that page, paste the URL of the escort you want to view, or if you just want to access the entire site, type https://rentmen.eu Note: You will likely have to click the acknowledgment button more than once to be let in the site. Now that you've done that, when you click the link to read all reviews for a specific escort, the text will appear along with the rating.

I used to regularly send a naked photo of my backside to guys because I'd rather not have a top who cannot perform with me. I've since read here that some providers actually view clients sending photos as a red flag, so if I were still in an active hiring phase I'd probably not do that any more unless someone requested it. I also used to show my face to a lot of guys I contacted because I met many of them via Adam4Adam and my main photo was of my face. Maybe I just got lucky, but I never had a problem related to a provider having seen my face. One thing I've never done and wouldn't do is have a photo that shows both my face and my naked body. Back to an escort screening out clients based on looks, it might make him seem like a jerk to some potential clients but as a client wouldn't you rather know that someone doesn't want your business so you can avoid him versus wasting time contact him? There's a guy in my area who has an attractive main photo on Rentmen but his ad headline says he's looking for Asians, so I haven't even bothered to look at his full ad since I'm not of Asian descent. If I guy's ad indicates he's looking for athletically built clients, then I know not to bother contacting him. Rather than getting my feelings hurt, it's just easier to move on to the next ad.

That first bouncing pec video doesn't even show guys with what I would consider to be man boobs. You cannot be as lean as those guys are (look at the lack of fat in their faces and their muscular arms) and have pecs that large that are mostly fat. Also, if those pecs were mostly fat they wouldn't have control over them in order to make them bounce like that. I'd guess that most of those guys just do a lot of exercises that build up their pectoral muscles, so maybe the question is whether there's a market for guys with over developed chests. Or whether you enjoy being with a guy who keeps bouncing his pecs instead of letting them rest so you can lick/bite/fondle them. That being said, I do follow on Instagram one guy who does porn and he has a bit of a man boob situation going on because he's clearly got a bit more fat everywhere on his body than most guys who do porn have. I follow him because I still think he's hot and I've enjoyed some of the scenes I've seen of him.

I was not attracted to Tony Danza when I was in my teens or a young adult, but I recently stumbled upon an episode of Who's The Boss in which he's wearing only a swimsuit and I was captivated. That's not the first time that's happened to me, though. I definitely had much more narrow range of sexual attraction than I began to develop in my mid 20s.

It doesn't look like he was banned, but his Twitter account does indicate it has been withheld in Germany due to a legal demand. Not sure what that means, and Twitters FAQ about this didn't clear up my confusion. I'm guessing that his account is active and his content is available to some people, though. I'm sure he has an active Only Fans account, so you could subscribe and send him a message through that. Who knows if he would see your message and acknowledge it, though. If you're looking to hire him, does he have a Rentmen ad or an ad on another escort site? I have no idea whether he escorts.

I've only ever had a few "regulars" even though there are more men that I hired several times: 1. I hired one guy nearly once a month for years. 2. I hired another guy whenever he was in my area, which was a few times per year, for a few years. The next closest I got to having a "regular" was a very hot Latino masseur who, after me hiring him frequently for several months, left the business. I'm sure I would have kept hiring him had he continued working.

I have mixed feelings about what you wrote. From a client perspective, if what you really want is a massage with maybe a happy ending, having a masseur try to upsell you to an escort experience might seem awkward. Is the guy basically saying he doesn't want to do what you hired him for? Is the guy simply trying to get more money from you? On the flipside, though, for a provider who has both massage and escort ads I imagine that a lot of guys hire them as masseurs and then expect a lot more from the session than what would normally be included in a massage. Without making those options clear, a client could be attempting to get more than he paid for, so to speak. I really do miss the Craigslist days, though, where I could hire someone who was just starting out as a provider. A lot of the times I'd be quoted a fair rate for an erotic massage and then the guy would initiate full on sex without any suggestion of additional payment. I think that was likely to limit their exposure to entrapment by law enforcement, and maybe I just turned on more of these guys when I was 20 years younger and had a hotter ass.

I checked multiple profiles last night and still saw HIV status on all of them but no mention of Monkeypox or COVID vaccine status. Interesting that they would remove those now, particularly when I just read that there is a new wave of Monkeypox coming. Do Rentmen's owners simply think COVID and Monkeypox are no longer issues, or did they remove this information for other reasons?
