It's a good piece to educate those who might not be aware of the risks involved in rimming, but I have to wonder how it is that a very sexually active gay man in New York City who is probably in his late thirties would have never heard about the risks of parasitic infections that come from rimming. He must have had his head stuck up his ass (pun intended) to have not learned that at a much younger age. I, too, have had at least a few infections of this sort, but I think the last one was actually from my stupid use of tap water in Mexico to douche. Why I thought it made sense to squirt something up my ass that I wouldn't put in my mouth is evidence that I clearly wasn't thinking.

What are you trying to say? That all men who seek out sensual or erotic experiences with other men are effeminate? I'm happy to read so many praises about Garic. I doubt I will hire him because I generally just don't like guys with muscles that large, but it's nice to read about men who are honest in their ads who provide an excellent experience to their clients.

It's obvious that Rainer is one of those guys for whom the "your mileage may vary" saying applies. Some people claimed he had bad body odor. I hired him twice (many years ago when he was visiting my area) and didn't notice any odor and I am extremely sensitive to things like that. I also didn't find him detached. No, he didn't suggest we go out on a date afterward but he was fully engaged during our time together.

But being shot by someone, unless you are deliberately putting yourself in a position to be shot (like you are committing a crime yourself), is not your responsibility. I think it was quite nonsensical for Maher to bring obesity into the gun violence argument. It was a deliberate distraction from a serious issue.

Knowing that Rentmen does such a poor job at verifying advertisers' identities certainly does give me pause in terms of whether some of the ads it hosts could involve trafficked young men. And there is a world of difference between an adult who decides to provide escort services of his/her own free will and someone who is forced or coerced in some way into doing so.

Obviously a statement intended to bring attention to himself. It isn't that it's false in its entirety (though obesity would be a contributing factor in other causes of death like a heart attack; obesity itself isn't the cause of death), but it isn't a compelling argument if he's trying to say that gun violence isn't a big problem because there are other causes of even more deaths. A lot more people are also killed in auto accidents. So what? What does that have to do with whether mass shootings deserve our attention?

My two cents: First you should think about what you want to get out of therapy. Some people look for therapists who work from a perspective that short-term therapy is most effective. They may be cognitive-behavioral or not, but many therapists practice in such a way that the treatment plan is for a relatively short course of treatment (maybe as few as just a handful of sessions, but maybe a half year). On the other hand, some people want a therapist with whom they can explore their internal conflicts; in the traditional sense, this would be psychoanalysis. If your goal is to "feel better" quickly, I don't think you are interested in psychoanalysis or any kind of psychotherapy that's being practiced from that point of view. I understand wanting to work with a gay male, especially if your desire is to focus a lot on your sexual thoughts, desires, and behaviors, because even if you find a completely open minded straight therapist there are some ways in which a straight ally just isn't going to "get" the gay male experience. That being said, I think that finding the right "fit" in terms of not only feeling comfortable with someone but also finding out whether the therapist works in a manner congruent with your wishes is more important. You could find a wonderfully empathic gay male therapist who works psychodynamically, but if what you really want is a solution focused therapist because you don't want to spend months or years exploring your inner demons then that wonderful gay male therapist would be a poor fit for you.

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck... If you don't mind wasting your time chatting with someone who is pretending to be someone he isn't, then have at it. I personally don't even reply to the first message from anyone where it clearly doesn't pass the "sniff test." How is it that some young guy thousands of miles from me who is really looking for that "special someone" just happened to find my profile and decided I'm the man for him?

Yes, at most I might say something like, "If you are interested in getting more clients, there are websites where you can advertise." And I would also offer to write a review of the guy, if he wanted one written. I think that while some guys would appreciate the suggestion and the offer of a review, others do want to keep what they do very much on the d/l. During the time I regularly met with a very hot college student who could have easily charged twice as much, he declined my offer of a review stating that he didn't want to have an ongoing online presence and only occasionally posted Craigslist ads when he was in town and wanting to make a little cash. I'm sure he had a little stable of regulars since I took every opportunity to meet with him when he called me during his visits with family in my area and I assume that other men who were fortunate enough to see one of his rare ads were also enamored to spend time with such a handsome a personable young man.

I find it amusing that I occasionally will get PMs about someone I commented on many years ago. I don't know why anyone who is more interested in looks than massage skills would want a report from someone whose only interaction with said masseur was many moons ago. At any rate, I don't get explicit in any of my responses, mostly because I've always believed that just because I had a certain experience with a guy doesn't mean everyone else will have that same experience. I don't want to put a masseur in a position of having to explicitly decline to do something with someone else that's well outside the normal expectations of an erotic massage just because he happened to do something while he was with me. It's up to a masseur to discuss with his potential clients what he has to offer. So, I mostly offer general feedback about massage skills, looks, hygiene, and whether my expectations were met.

When I was young and had my first real boyfriend, out of necessity we frequently had sex in public places. The most usual spot was a wooded area near campus; one time someone with a shotgun walked past us while my pants were down around my ankles! Another frequent spot was a car, either while parked (one time a police car pulled up and a cop shined his flashlight into our car, but we pretended to be looking at a map and he drove off) or while driving down the interstate (I used to brag that I received a continuous blowjob traveling in three states - Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan). Another time we had sex in a large auditorium on campus in the evening, knowing that no class was scheduled and hoping that no one else would wander in. There are probably other places I'm not recalling. It's funny because I am not one who particularly enjoys having sex in a public spot, but we were both 18, hot for each other, and lived in a dormitory or with our parents during summer break. You gotta do what you gotta do.

I wouldn't call it a "clean sweep" in my area (San Francisco), but yesterday there were either 3 or 4 pages of ads and now there are two. It wasn't too long ago that there were typically more than 4 pages. I'm not sure what happened, but maybe some providers here who advertise there can tell us. Change in rate to place an ad? New restrictions/verification requirements?

It really is perplexing that the negative reviews were allowed to remain. I thought that both Rentmen and Rentmasseur would scrub negatives at the advertiser's request. At any rate, it seems like all of the negatives were people posting that they couldn't get a response or a commitment from the guy. I know I've had this trouble with other guys who are legitimate, so I'm not sure I put much stock in these negative reviews in terms of the guy being a fraud. Maybe he's not the most organized or so busy that some contacts fall through the cracks, but that doesn't warrant a negative review. What's more concerning, however, is that there is a sameness in far too many of the positive reviews.

The point isn't to benefit the customer; it's to benefit the advertiser. You don't think an advertiser cares how much volume of business he gets from the ads for which he pays and might choose to discontinue advertising on sites that bring little to no business?

Your response wasn't to me, but I think you are missing the point "former lurker" was trying to make. If a provider uses name A on Rentmen, name B on Friendboy and name C on Rentmasseur, then when a client calls and says, "Is this B?", said provider will know that it was Friendboy that resulted in the call. I've definitely seen guys use different names on massage versus escort sites, and that makes perfect sense to me if they are using the same phone number in both ads. What I don't understand is men who change their name repeatedly on the same site. That, to me, is a red flag that the guy is trying to escape a bad reputation.

Men on here who have met him speak highly of him, but I've had the same experience as you -- no response to message on Adam4Adam, no response to texts, and no response to voice mail. I gave up trying.

Thank you. I feel silly that it didn't occur to me to try rent.men versus rentmen.eu, but when I did I was finally able to get it to work in Chrome again.

Still not working for me. PC using Windows 10. Tried in Edge, Firefox, and Chrome. I could never get it to work in Firefox (it would relentless ask me to click the acknowledgment button) but it worked fine in Chrome until a few days ago. Maybe it would help those of us for whom HideMe stopped working to hear from those for whom it still works what your computer configuration is. Mac or PC compatible, which browser, etc.

I am having the same problem now, in both Chrome and IE. It worked in Chrome until a couple of days ago, but now I get the same error you do.

Yes, I discovered my error after I posted and then subsequently edited my post while you were posting your comment. Guess I was just a tad too slow!

It's easy to reverse image search. Either use Chrome that allows for easy image searching within the browser, or if you are using another browser you can open a tab to "images.google.com" and then drag and drop the smaller images in an ad to the search area in the images.google.com tab. Scroll down to the bottom of the page to see if there is a match on any websites.

Ad has already been taken down, unless the link is wrong. Edit: I see that the ad is still up. It was that new "Rentmen is checking your browser" delay that threw me off. If you do a reverse image search on at least some of the photos, you will be taken to a model's Instagram where there are photos that were taken in various locations in Italy and California and Nevada. Maybe the ad is legit, maybe not. I'm guessing not, but if I were inclined to hire the guy I might try to message the model and ask about upcoming travel plans to see if they match the Rentmen ad.

When I first learned of it, I couldn't get the site to work in Firefox but it works fine in Chrome.

Yes, but there seem to be class action lawsuits against nearly all pharmaceuticals that are used by large numbers of people. I don't know whether there is merit to this specific lawsuit, but one of the things I have read -- that Gilead has a much safer but just as effective medication available but is deliberately choosing to poison people instead -- is pretty silly. If a safer and just as effective medication was available, I think it would be used by even more people which means more profits for Gilead.

Get too high in a thread count and the fabric traps heat better -- not good for most people while sleeping. I prefer bamboo rayon or bamboo lyocell sheets.
