adventurous old guy

Gosh, I've never even thought about possible herpes transmission from kissing. It would have to be a visible cold sore to transmit right? You don't get it from spit swap do you?

So, this guy is in Chicago this weekend. I never play at home (its a rule) but wow, what a looker. Maybe I'm lucky kissing is off the table, it makes the decision to not hire easy to make. Who's been with him? Does he really look this good? https://rentmen.com/ChrisDaniel

Becket I know! Here's something else, not in my pending review. Kansas City is a late town. My hotel was serving food till 2 AM, with a really active bar -- and it was the airport Marriott, nothing special. That's hard to find in a lot bigger towns on one of the coasts. Rich and I had a glass of wine before play, and when we were done I was game for another and it was about 1 AM. When I asked if wanted to join me, I expected him to say no -- thinking he'd be off to another gig (he was getting pinged during our session, ignored it until we were done btw) or maybe home to sleep. But he said yes and we hung out with wine and food. I'd tipped him well but he was definitely off the clock at this point, so felt more like a date. Bottom line, he's a super guy. And if you want to meet him, you might just consider making the trip to KC to do it. Though he travels too, and told me he lives part time in Tampa/Clearwater area.

Uncle! I accept the hypothesis is silly!

OK, so this is a tangent, but maybe relevant enough. I have a working hypothesis that guys who are really turned on by tit play are less likely to be really into kissing. Its almost like it trumps other forms of foreplay. This could all be projection, as its certainly true for me -- nips apparently aren't connect to my neural network at all, but kissing on mouth, throat, ears is hardwired to other equipment! When I'm with a new guy now, and I get no response to initial chest play I have an almost Pavlovian anticipation that I've got a kisser. And if there's hesitancy to kiss, I head south a bit to warm things up. Maybe this is silly, but its a hypothesis that's been fun to test!

Chemistry, style AND dental hygiene I suspect...

Too fun. Cute and creepy at the same time!

Super!

Speaking of Myrtle Tony -- I tried to connect with him when he'd travel to Baltimore, but our dates always just missed. He's not still around somewhere is he?

Hey all, just realized I've posted twice -- now three times -- in the last hour about Rich Reynolds. Just to clarify, I'm not his agent. Just basking in the glow I guess of a great experience -- what a treat to find him in Kansas City of all places.

I just submitted a review Thursday commenting on the kissing dimension of an experience with Rich Reynolds -- Kansas City based but a regular traveler. Though the encounter was super in all ways, his enthusiastic kissing is the most memorable aspect of our adventure. He's in DC now btw: https://rentmen.com/RichReynolds AOG

Quick editorial comment: Killian's advice to approach these transactions with confidence sounds right across the plate to me. I adopt that posture when I reach out and describe myself as confident in a first email. In my experience it generates respect, and it does convey that I have expectations that I'm respectfully wondering if the person I'm contacting will meet. This has worked consistently well for me. I also offer to share a face pic of myself to level the playing field, because...well, it does. I generally know more about him than he knows about me, and so I think this offer again demonstrates respect. If we move to the next level, I do share a selfie by text. Know others here will not agree with this approach, but again its worked well for me. And I've come to terms with the fact that while I can be discreet in communications, there really is no privacy anymore at least among cell phone users. Anyone can find out who I am if they really want to do so. My two cents.

I hear you GMan. This is why, at least for me, reviews are important. Especially for someone as visible as Seth is in video with young, hot partners -- or in Killian's case with another hot young star, the question is will Seth bring the same energy to what probably will be more of a business deal. But based on Killian's advice, I'm going to contact Seth. I'm always really upfront about my age and looks and expectations for a meeting. I'll be respectful of his decision to say he's down with this or not, see how he responds, then go from there, prepared to walk away if this doesn't feel win/win. I just had a super experience with Mitch Branson (review pending), and found him very appreciative of my being appreciative and respectful of him. End result is that he couldn't have been more eager to please. Anyway thanks all for the responses. Again, the hardest part of this decision is choice - someone new vs. someone who I already know will deliver a great experience. Always the dilemma. Will report back.

Grazie, BnT and KJ. Much appreciated

Just refreshing this thread. I am in DC a lot, and Seth's ad constantly catches my eye. Hard-wired top here. I go back and forth about whether to repeat with the great guys I've already met in DC, or to give Seth a whirl. Can't think of a time before when I've hired guys with no reviews. Again, just odd that he and husband keep advertising in DC, and there is no feedback on them other than speculation based on interviews they give. Maybe they are just courting regulars? Bottom line, updates please if anyone has new info?

His RM interview responses really stand out. Seems like a thoughtful guy on top of other obvious attributes!

I was just checking out Phoenix last week, and his ad was up on RM. Don't see it today however.

Wow, thanks so much. As a sceptic -- but an interested optimistic one -- really glad to see this. Two questions: Straight or gay, your best hunch? And will you review? Grazie.

Oh good point RexB. The pics that Ralph is using definitely include pics that Cohen shared with me as private pics. But these could be different guys using the same pics.

Warning Will Robinson! This guy has been discussed before, when he was "Cohen" or "Reed Cohen." I interacted extensively then pulled out over the kissing issue. A few more facts about this here: http://m4m-forum.org/threads/reed-cohen-visiting-dc.111449/ But in fairness, I didn't meet him and he may be great. I notice that there's more reinventing going in than just his name. Cohen marketed as a bi-sexual bottom, Ralph is straight and versatile.

LOL. Appreciated this silly moment in an intense back and forth. Thanks Will. Dakota, like several others I give you credit for reading this stuff, chilling and not responding defensively. I do hope one of your take-aways is to see just how POWERFUL words can be, in this case your words! I think that's because they trigger feelings and memories. Maybe you didn't intend to hurt feelings, just state a preference openly and honestly. In your ad, you describe yourself as a nice guy and I give you that benefit of the doubt. But in a country where there is as much racism as here, words can hurt even when that's not the intent. Sorry if this sounds sort of parental. You haven't asked for advice -- who the hell am I to offer it, right? I get that. This is just a hope that you think about your words as you go about your business because my gut feel is that you truly are a nice guy. Now I'm going to take Will's advice here and transition to another thread!

Will, I'm 61 -- older than middle age, and Dakota agreed to see me. I know I'm older than some prefer, and so was very upfront about age when I contacted him. Even followed up with a pic to level the playing field. He seemed totally cool about it. Also want to give kudos to Dakota for entering the fray and interacting here. Nice to see conversation about the topic of race that is as open and sort of honest as the one I'm seeing here, especially given that people have strong and different points of view on the subject.

Steven hit this nail on the head IMHO. It's one thing to know what you like and don't and be honest about that, quite another to frame that as a blanket stereotype. Really - Dakota has never met a black person he's found attractive or interesting? Hard to believe. The first thing that came to mind when I saw that statement -- which offended me -- is to question his maturity. Wondering if he's a clueless kid rather than an ASSHOLE, given that he's been quite responsive to me about what he likes and offers to his clients.

There's actually some rich precedent for this. The Danish existentialist philosopher Soren Kierkegaard wrote different works under different names to shape public conversation. It was about god and the universe and such, not escorts, but still precedent. He was a drama king, with an outside perspective who used his different voices to be ironic, satiric, provocative -- so the 19th century equivalent perhaps of the angel, the bitch, the hot boy, etc., etc. LOL: http://www.iep.utm.edu/kierkega/ AOG

In fact, a bit more experienced now!
