This type of thread is an extremely good idea. It's not easy to quickly and easily find information on the escorting scene in exotic destinations. Tristan, thank you so much for posting this.

@geminibear, forget Twitter and Instagram. Next time we hit up Yellowstone, you should post pictures of all those hot bears on MyFace.

If you don't secure bookings in advance, a client might say, "Another escort reached out and confirmed with me already and I have already used up my escorting budget. Thus, I can't see you this trip." That scenario has happened to me more than once on both sides of the equation. For Seattle, I always reach out in advance to try to decide how best to split my time between Seattle, Bellevue, Federal Way, Tacoma, and Seatac. When my hotel location is not going to vary based on client availability (e.g. Manhattan) I don't need to be as strategic about setting things up in advance. Advanced booking also helps an escort decide how to best balance his ratio of weekdays to weekends in a city. The problem with securing advance appointments is a very high percentage of people tend to cancel at the last minute, or whenever you contact them to confirm they say, "I meant to contact you to cancel." Or something to that effect. If you can make fill your dance card booking same-day appointments only, there's little incentive to reach out in advance. You have to remember that DR is not representative of the escort world as a whole, that most clients are looking for same-day appointments, and that a hot body--rather than a proactive booking approach-- is all you need to seal the deal.

If I were visiting a domestic city primarily for escorting, yes. If I were visiting a domestic city in which escorting was an auxiliary goal but not the primary purpose of the trip, then also yes if I had my druthers. I would get crickets going to a new city compared to all the dozens of hotties and known quantities. I've built enouhh bases in certain cities where I have had reasons to visit other than escorting, that i tend to avoid non-anchor cities. I'm in one non-anchor now bc I wanted to explore it, but I gave myself a limited window of time there bc I don't have anchors here except new anchors. Sorry my ambien is kicking in but you get the idea.

Guilty as charged, octogenarians to the front of the line

Four people, three bears, two otters, one Marlfox, and one of PurpleKow's dogs.

I won't reveal details of our sacred bond and the steamy afternoon we spent in a cheap motel together, but suffice to say Joe Parker is not gay for pay. He doesn't kiss as well as BignTall or Truhart1, but then again who could?

Um i filmed with joe parker already...it's a forthcoming ray dragon movie.

I've been with Rocco Steele on and off camera and he fits OP's bill. As for his age and stats, his tens of thousands of pics are accurate. What you see is what you get. I won't reveal too many details about our wonderful time together, or the sacred bond that was created between us when he repeatedly thrust in and out of my love chute, or the number of postcoital painkillers I had to ingest, but suffice to say Rocco has the Mike Gaite seal of approval.

I actually was thinking about starting one of these threads at least in reference to escorting. I was reading Richard Ford's Canada and there was a passing reference to women who would escort on trains. They would buy roundtrip train tickets but then never actually got off the the trains at the destination city. They just rode the trains back and forth meeting customers in the train compartments, and I wondered if this detail lacked verisimilitude or if it really depicted an old-fashioned way of high-end escorting before the Internet came along.

I didn't want to make any particular clients feel uncomfortable, so I asked the question generally and broadly, which I also hoped would give people the latitude to provide a catholic range of answers. I was trying to avoid the problem of a client coming to me and saying, "I see you posted X on the forum, and I can't believe you're asking other people for their opinions about X instead of coming directly to me about it. Don't use the forum as an appeal to author from others." My other goal was to ask a question such that someone would post a picture of Woody Allen, and someone else would post a picture of some guy's hairy hiney.

This is not at all the direction I thought this thread would go in lol, but I absolutely approve.

Each situation is different and context matters, but what are your strategies for dealing with this issue? I always feel my response is an epic fail and unable to strike the right combination of compassion and sincerity.

I tend to think the Marriott Platinum Premier benefits are better than the Starwood 100+ night benefits (e.g. The concierge room food in the SF Marriott is better than pretty much any Starwood food I have ever had excepting the breakfast buffets at the W Hong Kong and the St. Regis in Bali. IMHO, a Starwood ambassador ends up being a nice personal assistant but nothing to write home about). However, the point redemptions on Marriott are worse for lower end hotels. And the Marriott lifetime elite tiers are harder to reach (750 vs 500, for platinum). I think starwood's BRG program is viewed more favorably than Marriott's on Flyertalk but YMMV there. Generally Flyertalk will have the best info on the merger and its ramifications. As far as escorting is concerned, I do hope they get rid of those awfully low beds at the Aloft Aurora and the Le Meridien Philadelphia when the transition is made. I think the changes will be more noticeable than the airline mergers from a consumer perspective. Not sure from a shareholder perspective. I think Marriott is stricter about misuse and illegal posting of corporate codes, whereas one can find Starwood SET codes for numerous companies with ease. That may be rumor though. Fwiw, I believe the Book of Mormon will probably be in all the new rooms once the merger is complete. I always thought Star Wood would be a great escorting moniker. I will be sad to see it go.

For those who prefer music of some sort whilst spending time, what's on your current playlist? Mine needs updating because it consists solely of "Hey Big Spender" and Fifth Harmony's "Worth It."

I have heard there are some southern CA escorts going to Delta so you might want to ask an invitee about that to broaden your list.

I wouldn't recommend a client do it for the aforementioned reason that applies to the escort not doing it. I don't want to think I am sloppy seconds for a client who just got topped by someone else. It also comes across as extreme clock-watching, making too much of an effort to expedite the session. Additionally, it can make rimming awkward. It's nice if you remove the decorative pillows from the bed in advance, but pre-lubing is too much IMHO.
