  1. Another guy whose photo needs to display here (and the original link didn't work for me anyway). What a hunk!
  2. Just cuz I think he's cute and his photo deserves to be seen by people who don't want to click a link that doesn't indicate where it leads, here's an embedded photo of meteorologist Shane Hinton.
  3. A lot of guys advertise on both Rentmen and Rentmasseur, and I've always viewed it as this: Rentmen is for men who know they want a full service experience. Rentmasseur is for men who want a more than spa type of massage but aren't necessarily looking for full service. If a guy's base rate for massage is the same as his escort rate, then clearly his focus isn't massage. A guy with a lower rate on Rentmasseur than on Rentmen is likely providing a different service depending on where the client found him. I'm not bothered by this at all. What is bothersome to me are ads that clearly focus on the erotic aspect of the massage that end up being both a poor therapeutic massage and lacking in any sort of eroticism.
  4. You pay for a VPN service because you want all of your internet activity to use the service to which you subscribe. As others have written, you don't need to pay for the Hide.me proxy service.
  5. Now advertising as https://rentmen.eu/Tony_sdxx Any recent feedback?
  6. Do you have a source for that data other than your hunch or belief based on men you have had sex with? I am asking because I couldn't find anything recent with respect to prep use among sexually active gay men, and the most recent data I could find (which is about five years old) indicated around half of white men who have sex with men were on prep but far, far fewer men of color were. I'd frankly be surprised if it's anywhere near 99% since no health initiative reaches that level of success. We couldn't even reach that level of compliance with occasional mask wearing.
  7. I occasionally am in the Tenderloin because there are some good restaurants there. When I first moved to San Francisco, I lived in the Tendernob. Some blocks are definitely sketchier than others, and in general the entire area is much worse now than it was 20 or 30 years ago.
  8. I live just south of Market, not far from city hall. I'd say that San Francisco has declined significantly in many neighborhoods. I still generally feel safe walking around during the day, but sometimes I do encounter someone who is either in some sort of mental health breakdown or active substance use reaction that makes them act aggressively. It's definitely best to pay attention to your surroundings and do something simple like cross the street if your sense is that someone ahead of you is agitated. That being said, it isn't like residents or visitors are being attacked left-and-right so I don't want to create an inaccurate picture that this is an incredibly dangerous place to be. I do think that burglaries -- particularly auto break-ins -- are out of control. That really isn't anything new here, though; it's just even worse than it used to be. If you rent a car for your visit, you must remember to never leave anything in your car. Don't even leave an empty bag or something of minimal value. If someone who is inclined to "smash and grab" sees something in your car, they will break your window and snatch your item first, and then just toss it if it's worthless. They don't care that they caused hundreds of dollars of damage only to find out that they stole your dirty gym clothes.
  9. I don't find it puzzling. There are all sorts of reasons why someone would be willing to bareback when making porn: It sells better. They can, if they desire, make sure everyone does a rapid test before filming. They have an opportunity to know their partners better. There are all sorts of reasons why someone might not choose to bareback with a client: No economic benefit to it. Don't know the other person's health/sexual history. Don't want to have bareback sex with 100 men per year, just a chosen few other performers. Besides that, just because someone claims he uses condoms with clients doesn't mean that he always uses condoms with clients. I've had escorts who selected "Safe Sex Only" in their ad try to bareback me. I've seen ads where that selection is changed frequently between "Safe Sex Only" and the other two options, "Ask Me" or "Anything Goes." I'm not sure what that's about. Testing the market to see if one response leads to more inquiries? Knowing that they currently have something so they want to use condoms temporarily? Fluidity with respect to their adherence to wearing condoms for anal sex?
  10. Your story reminds me of my first trip to Puerto Vallarta. I'll skip the irrelevant details. I'll just say that the person who showed me to my room showed me a lot more once his shift ended a half hour later. I've dated a few guys I met in non-gay-focused places. One while waiting for a bus. One in a straight bar (my two female friends were convinced he was straight and was looking in our direction because he was interested in one of them, so they were disappointed when he ended up coming on to me). A few at work.
  11. The prepubescent me definitely liked some of the young male pop idols my sister liked, but I couldn't speak that to anyone at the time. I really had a crush on Donny Osmond at the same time she did. Fast forward a few years when I entered puberty and I definitely had the hots for the middle boy on The Brady Bunch -- Peter, played by Christopher Knight -- who was about two years older than me. Looking back on it, though, I kind of wonder whether some of my favorite TV shows had more to do with the handsome male actors than the shows themselves. Could Kent McCord have been why I liked Adam 12 so much? Why was I so drawn to Don Grady's "Robbie Douglas" character on My Three Sons when there were kids on that show much closer to my age? Ditto Wally, played by Tony Dow, on Leave It To Beaver. Now, some of these shows have aged well enough that they are still shown regularly today, so one might argue that I simply liked these shows. But when I look back on my early childhood it really does seem that my favorite actors on my favorite shows were all visually compelling.
  12. Is it necessarily a waste of time to have a conversation with another man when it doesn't ultimately lead to sex?
  13. This thread about Cade was started about four and a half years ago. Clearly he holds some people's interest that he's still being discussed nearly half a decade later. I've personally always found him hot. I've seen him in a couple of scenes where he seemed detached, but mostly he looks like he'd be a fun top to spend time with. The fact that his rate is too high for my budget doesn't change that.
  14. If I know for sure I want to hire someone and I don't have an indication that the guy is screening out clients because he only wants hot, young men as clients, I don't mind sharing a photo. I actually used to just regularly send a photo of myself to guys I emailed, and usually the guys were appreciative though occasionally one would reply that I didn't need to do that. I figured that if someone did want to screen me out due to looks I'd rather they do that before we set a firm appointment. Then again, I also used to contact lots of providers on Adam4Adam and had my face visible in my profile, so I wasn't concerned about escorts being able to identify me.
  15. Seems like a general topic that belongs in the Lounge. The Deli states it's for discussions about providers, so seeing this post in the Deli made me wonder if this guy had been working as an escort.
  16. Why was this posted in the Deli? Was he an escort in addition to a straight porn performer?
  17. It's a confusing ad. His text says he's new to Miami, but his location is listed as Los Angeles but with travel dates to New York City. He's new to the U.S., says he's of Polish and Brazilian ancestry, and yet under language he only lists English. He didn't select anything under "I Am Into." Though his ad text says the photos are real and that he looks just like them, I am also skeptical when it looks like someone just found a models profile online and grabbed his photos. I agree that having some professional looking shots is good marketing, but I prefer either a mix of more professional/modeling type of photos and ones that are selfies or, honestly, just a bunch of good selfies.
  18. There is merit to both sides of this argument. Clients are responsible for making decisions to protect their own health. That being said, I think it's pretty sad that so many people have an attitude that escorts as business people are free to misrepresent their services in any number of ways (not just HIV status) and that if a client made decisions based on misrepresentations on the part of the provider it's his fault for being lazy/stupid/careless/whatever. I would hope that most providers who post here want to create a public image of treating clients ethically and generally being honest about the services they provide.
  19. Not knowing him, I can see why you'd say that his pictures need to be updated. He looks like a cutie with a nice body, but most of the photos don't really convey that very well. If you're a good photographer (not professional, but just good with a camera phone), you could offer to take some photos at your next session using his phone so he's the one in control of the images. Make the offer and ask him to share the best shots with you.
  20. Throughout life in different settings, I've encountered many people who are punctual and some who are just almost always late. That's been true in social settings, in work settings, and when hiring escorts and masseurs. I don't know why some people simply seem to have an inability to show up on time for anything, or maybe even deliberately arrive late for some psychological reason, but there are certain people who just behave this way. If it's an issue with a certain person, as others have said you can simply state your limit ahead of time and then enforce it. I'll admit that my most regular hire was someone who was typically late. It only worked for me because we always did overnights, so once I adjusted to the reality that he was almost always going to arrive a half hour later than planned it didn't bother me too much. For an hour appointment with someone I've never met before, not being ready on time or at least close to on time is a deal breaker. If I go to someone and he's not ready within 10 minutes or so of our scheduled appointment time, I'll just text them that I'm leaving since they aren't available. If a guy is coming to me I'll be a bit more patience, but even then I have my limits, particularly if the guy isn't texting me to say why he's running late.
  21. Does that line mean he may not be able to perform his best unless you're athletically built with a nice ass? That's the way I interpret it. Not that it matters. His ad is way to focused on drug use for me. I didn't even know what "swirl" meant so I looked it up in the Urban Dictionary: "A foolish or stupid person who admits to having taken a dose of GHB (Gamma hydroxy butyrate), who then proceeds to have sex with Black person/s and swishes the ejaculate of said Black person/s in their mouth before swallowing said ejaculate. " I like to swallow cum with the right guy, but not after taking GHB. I also noticed he used CashApp as another tag. I prefer cash, not sending an electronic payment.
  22. I just searched "Jesse Williams nude uncensored" and the first site I found had the full monty shot. I would just post the image but I'm not sure what's allowed here in terms of posting nudes. It's on a site called men.aznude.com.
  23. If you get the station MeTV+ (available over the air in some markets and on some cableTV packages), you can revisit Robert Conrad's young, handsome self on Hawaiian Eye every weeknight. I haven't seen the show until recently because it was before my time and it isn't a show that's been aired in syndication regularly, so it's been a treat for me to tune in and hope that the episode on that evening will have at least one scene with Robert getting out of the pool and standing shirtless for a while. Robert still looked great on Wild Wild West -- hell, he looked great for decades after he shot Hawaiian Eye. But he was absolutely stunning on Hawaiian Eye, with a combination of a hunky man's body with an almost "pretty" face.
  24. Yes, I have, since it helps me get and stay harder. Since Viagra doesn't spontaneously cause an erection, though, if the massage ends up not turning into an erotic experience then I just have a better boner later.
  25. Looks like they need to work on their website functionality. I tried two different browsers (Firefox and Chrome) and neither one of them properly filtered the results to my area. Instead I saw results for men hundreds to thousands of miles away despite me indicating a maximum distance of 75 miles, and then buried further down in the results were men in my city.
