I'm not sure why people want to pay good money just to advertise someone's brand -- well, I actually do know why: It's to let everyone know that they (allegedly) have enough money that they can afford brand X. If that's what you mean by pretentious, then that's my vote.

Or to ask about specific escorts in Las Vegas that caught his eye instead of linking to 9 pages of escort ads.

Yes, she (as well as everyone else) was great in Sordid Lives. What a funny script and a funny cast.

There were music videos long before Physical. What an odd claim to make, unless they mean that it was the first video album (and I'm not even sure whether that's true). Olivia was a special talent. I still own most of her albums.

I didn't get a warning when entering the website, but I got bored about 10 sets of eyes into the test so I didn't complete it.

I echo the comments. In fact, he was one of my most disappointing hires ever.

Define "bounce." Here's a video of Tim Tebow running shirtless, slowed down. I call this bouncing, but not the same as a woman's breasts would bounce when running.

You flat out said he didn't need to be assessed by a crisis team. That's the part I was responding to.

Are you a trained mental health professional? If so, I find it odd that you would argue that it's more appropriate for a layperson to try to counsel someone who is expressing suicidal ideation (and maybe even a plan) versus that person, with empathy, advising the struggling person that it's clear they need help from someone more equipped to actually help them. I don't think anyone is suggesting that an appropriate response is to just walk away without expressing any concern or suggesting a better course of action for that person to seek help, but I think it's potentially dangerous for someone who doesn't have training in assessing someone's suicide risk to wade into those waters.

True stories: My first viewing of a porn movie was a straight film at a drive-in theater. My friends thought it would be a nice "going away to college" gift for me, even though they knew I was gay. As we turned the corner into the parking lot so the screen was visible, the first image I saw was a woman with her legs spread wide and an man eating her out. As a Kinsey 6 this didn't excite me. In fact, this was back in the day when most men in straight porn were not very attractive so the whole evening was pretty much a disappointment for me. My second viewing of a porn movie was a gay film at a porn theater in Detroit. My friend and I walked in just as someone was taking a fist (and arm) in his ass. Both men had the stereotypical (for the time) "Castro clone" look. Neither of us was into that look and both of us were pretty much horrified by the prospect of fisting (we were very naive 18 year olds), so it was quite an off-putting introduction to hard core pornography. We were also both quite skittish about interacting with any of the other patrons even though there was a lot of play going on, but from memory I don't think either of us found anyone there attractive anyway. I was very happy when porn on VHS came along. I could have more control over what I watched and, of course, viewing porn no longer required going to a theater.

Well, that's the way I've been using Google Images for a long time. I will say that I find Google Image search less helpful than it was several years ago. Most of the time I don't find a match, even the site I originally found the image on.

Maybe I was lucky in that I think I hired him not long after he started doing massage, but I found him to be a pleasant person. I'm curious as to the "lecture" after the orgasm. I assume that his intent was to convey information he thought could benefit the client, like a change in diet or something might enhance someone's pleasure? Was it the actual information he provided that felt insulting, or the way that information was delivered, or what?

Have you tried simply opening a new tab, entering "images/google.com" and then dragging the photo in question to the search box on that tab?

1. You should request that his reviews be removed. 2. He really put you in a horrible position. Many years ago a new boss did the same to me and I'll admit that I was less patient with him than you were with this client. I basically told him that I wasn't equipped to help him with his wanting to kill himself and said that if he was serious then I would have to call 911 right then so a crisis team could come assess him and take him to the hospital if need be. He didn't want me to do that and told me that he was just upset. I was sympathetic but told him he needed to seek out professional counseling. In the end, he was just an emotionally manipulative SOB for whom I had the misfortune of working for a year or so.

Given the lockdowns that began in early March 2020, I'm not surprised to see a lot more escorts two years later.

That posting does sound like a specific event. I assume if it's successful, they would repeat it. I'm not sure what the problem is unless the schedule becomes so unpredictable that customers stop patronizing the club because they never know what that night's event will be. In other words, if a guy only wants to show up on a male only night it makes sense for that to be a predictable night. I assume others won't mind attending mixed gender nights even if they aren't bisexual. I never went to San Francisco's Power Exchange sex club, but from what I heard there was a male only floor, a mixed gender floor, and a female only floor, offering patrons the ability to check out different scenes. I think they were quite successful with that model, though they did ultimately close for some reason.

I agree. He looks attractive in the photos in his Rentmasseur ad, but somehow they don't really capture how sexy he is. I remember having that "wow" feeling when I first met him, and I wouldn't say I've had that feeling with most escorts and masseurs I've hired.

No, he's just chosen a new name on Rentmen. I cannot remember exactly what it is, but it's something that conveys the notion "I'm the hottest guy on here." So humble.

At $800/hour as an escort and $500/hour as a masseur, I suspect most of us aren't willing to take a risk. I can understand a well known guy commanding that rate, but not some garden variety (albeit attractive) young man.

Cutie, but he looks a bit more twunkish than twinkish to me. That isn't a criticism as twunks can be appealing, too. My favorite twink hire ever was a UCLA student who only occasionally advertised on Craigslist 20 years ago. I responded to one of his posts and he became a regular for a few years. He had a very cute face, a very nice body for a twink (a little muscular, but still small enough to remain in the twink category), a nice personality, and was fun in bed. I offered to post a positive review of him on the old site but he wanted to remain on the DL, only having a few regular clients to see when he was on breaks from school. I still occasionally look at the photo I took of him fresh from the shower and fondly remember all of the loads I swallowed from him.

I assume Mileage May Vary, though I have usually heard it as "your mileage may vary." Typically it means that if the escort is into the client then that client will receive good service but others to whom the escort has no physical attraction will receive lesser service.

I don't know where anyone got the notion that all drag queens do is lip sync. Even the ones that focus on that in terms of their performances also put together their looks. Part of a drag show is the visual. Beyond that, however, there are many drag queens who have started making music. To my ears, most of them shouldn't be singing but that's true of many people making pop records. Others focus on their comedic skills. I saw Ru Paul's Drag Race Season Six winner Bianca Del Rio in person and she had me laughing nonstop for over an hour. San Francisco based drag queen Peaches Christ has long been doing drag parodies of cult favorite films. Of course, if someone is "tired of" drag queens the simple solution is to change the channel or go to a different bar if what's on offer is a drag show.

Most providers I've hired haven't counted money in front of me. I'll admit that it does feel kind of tacky to see someone counting the bills after I've handed them to him, only because the service is so personal. I have to remind myself that I expect a store clerk or a bank teller to actually look at what I hand them, so it certainly isn't unreasonable for an escort to count what he's being paid or even for them to use one of those markers that easily identifies fake currency. What I wouldn't do is accept someone's statement after the fact that he was given counterfeit bills by me. Why should I acquiesce to someone's request for more money on the basis that I gave him counterfeit bills unless I have reason to believe that's true (such as looking in my wallet and discovering that I have more counterfeit currency). Even if the guy is honest, he may have gotten the counterfeit bills from someone else. Or maybe he's just a scammer and figures this is a good way to get paid more. Unless he's a regular, I have no reason to trust him more than I trust my bank to ensure that only legal tender is in its ATMs. I did underpay a regular once. He told me about it after he left since he never counted my payment in front of me, and I made good on my "balance due" the next time I saw him.

I don't think it's appropriate for anyone to suggest what treatment this guy needs (or doesn't need) based on his Rentmen ad and speculation here. For the sake of argument let's assume that what he is reporting is delusional and has no basis in reality. That could be entirely due to substance abuse; remove the drug use and the psychosis might resolve itself. Or maybe he's sober and has had a psychotic break. The point is, we don't know what's going on because, even if we have professional experience working with mental illness, we haven't personally evaluated this person and know next to nothing about him.

He believes the FBI is involved in his being trafficked? Or am I misunderstanding him? I don't know what to make of his ad. Assuming that he is actually being trafficked and hasn't yet been connected with any organization that will help him, I hope he finds the help he needs. He's in Chicago, not some small town, so I assume that he should be able to find assistance. The notion that people who "used him while unconscious" should submit a report to the police and Department of Homeland Security is just bizarre. Clearly anyone who would take advantage of someone sexually when they are unconscious is not going to self-report that to any law enforcement agency. I guess he thinks that if the police get reports that corroborate his claim that he's being trafficked versus willingly doing sex work, maybe that will benefit him somehow (maybe legally)?
