    maninsoma got a reaction from peter831 in Friendship with A Gay-For-Pay Porn Star That (Sadly) Ended   
    I'm trying to make sense of what you wrote since I've never had a friendship like that.  By that I mean where I would buy thousands of dollars of gifts for someone whom I once hired as an escort but with whom I formed what seemed like a genuine friendship.  I don't buy gifts for friends regularly apart from maybe birthdays and Christmas (if that).  I take friends out to eat, but they reciprocate.  It's clearly not one sided where one is the gift giver and the other is the recipient, which is what I assume was going on in your friendship given what you wrote.  If it's one sided, it isn't much of a friendship unless you obviously make a lot more money and simply feel like being generous with someone because you know they are struggling financially.
    I really don't know what was going on between you and your apparently former friend. If he considered his in person time with you to be on-the-clock, then the onus was on him to tell you his rate and let you decide whether you wanted to visit him.  Accepting whatever you offered and then stating years later that you weren't paying him as much as he felt was fair is just bad business on his part.
    At any rate, I don't think you can do anything now other than move on.  Given that he's blocked you, he obviously is no longer interested in being a friend.  Either he simply did feel like you were a client with whom he got along and you got the wrong impression, and now he's annoyed you have been underpaying him and thus blocked you.  Or maybe he did consider you a friend and something happened to change those feelings (either something you said or did or simply some other outside thing in his life that made him reconsider your friendship).

    maninsoma got a reaction from + KensingtonHomo in To providers : Do you dread a certain massage site's "discount day"?   
    I'm not posting this because I think any provide should offer a discount.  In fact, I'd argue that it would be silly to offer a discount unless you don't have enough business and want to try it to see if it brings in new clients.  However, there are other businesses that offer discounts depending on day of the week or time of day: theaters, restaurants, bars, airlines, and I'm sure others that aren't immediately coming to mind.  I just thought I'd offer this because I don't think it's necessarily a rude suggestion that offering a discount on a certain day or time of day might make business sense.  What is rude is a client asking for a discount when there's no indication that one is available, but even then I realize that while this is true in the USA bartering is not considered bad in many other countries.

    I would be surprised if he had OF/JFF content.  I think that anyone listing on Rentmen or Rentmasseur is likely to mention that they have said content available since it would increase their income.

    maninsoma reacted to CuriousByNature in Is this even doable?   
    I've never met with anyone, and I'm several years older than you.  What immediately jumped out at me was the phrase "provably on PrEP" and "willing to slip (me) a dose".  I cannot stress enough that a person cannot rely 100% on another's declaration of health status or their reported use of PrEP - provable or otherwise.  Compliance with medication cannot be proven, so even if you are shown a prescription or a bottle of pills, you have NO way of knowing whether or not your partner is using the medication correctly or at all.  Your health is 100% your responsibility, and entrusting it to another is extremely risky.    But only you can decide how much risk you are willing to assume.  As for having a dose or two of PrEP slipped to you, that is also very unwise.  How would you know if you were even given PrEP?  Plus, these are medications that can have significant side effects, and should only be prescribed by a physician who can assess your compatibility with the meds.  It isn't like asking someone for an aspirin.  I cannot tell anyone what they should or should not do, but if you are not at the point where you can receive advice from your own doctor about this, I question whether or not you should be considering a meet-up, given that you've referred to the safety aspect as the most important consideration.   Not trying to be a wet blanket, but I wouldn't want you to jump into a situation you may regret afterwards without fully assessing the risks.

    maninsoma got a reaction from + Axiom2001 in Hiring Rafael Alencar ?   
    I'm not saying that bottoms cannot enjoy looking at, touching, or rimming a hot ass, but I'm amused that whenever Rafael Alencar is discussed the topic typically drifts to whether he's had butt implants.  As a nearly-100% bottom, I can tell you that I don't care whether his ass is due to exercise or surgical enhancement.  It's the rest of him that catches my interest -- the handsome face, the nice torso, the big dick, his ability to pound a bottom, and his seemingly "chill" attitude while still being dominant in bed.

    I have never really understood this kind of gossip.  Unless someone is being outed who is otherwise a homophobe -- particularly a homophobe in a position to help enact anti-gay laws -- doesn't the person deserve privacy and a right to tell their own story whenever and however they want?  Even if it's just gossip about someone's sexual activity and not their sexual orientation, I don't see what business it is for other people to discuss. 
    I get the "wish fulfillment" aspect of it, but if I was someone famous I know I wouldn't want people who don't even know me gossiping about my sex life.

    I get that inflation affects everyone.  I can tell you that I didn't get a 25-33% raise recently, though, so trying to rationalize an increase from $300 to $400 per hour or $400 to $500 per hour doesn't make sense.  That being said, this is a market where providers can charge whatever they want and clients can decide to hire or not.  Sadly, my recent salary increases haven't even kept pace with inflation.

    I never use my heat.  Not only does San Francisco generally not get that cold (though we typically have nighttime lows in the 40s here this time of year), but my condo must have been built with keeping heat inside as a priority.  It's actually a problem during the warmest months since it gets too hot in here, but in the winter I can walk around in underwear and a t-shirt and feel comfortable.  It rarely gets colder than 70 degrees inside.  I actually opened a window and used a fan to blow cold nighttime air in this past week because it was too warm after I made dinner and I sleep better in a cooler room.

    I think you misread at least one thing in the OP.  The client is traveling four hours into the city to see the escort; he is not expecting an escort to travel four hours outside of Vegas to see him.  At least that's how I read it.
