adventurous old guy

But Paul is not

So this is how I started many years ago.  My boyfriend then -- husband now -- hired someone for me as a birthday gift because I was on a high stress gig professionally and couldn't be home for the birthday.  He vetted a few guys, talked to the one he thought I'd like, got a good vibe, told him I'd be nervous and asked him to take a call from me.  After that call went well, my boyfriend arranged payment in advance.  The conversations had given the boyfriend enough confidence that the provider wasn't a flake, in fact a very sweet man.  Hope that helps.  it was a peak experience, btw.  Ye gods, 2001 -- 20 years ago!

LOL, this reminds me of a porn star I hired many years ago. Famous, hunky Australian. He had an itemized price schedule for what he would do for how much, and it was comprehensive. He'd do anything and everything, each with its own price. Even when we were in bed and I was on top of him, it was "For this much more, I could do this. For that much more, I could do that..." It was all very friendly, even humorous like an SNL skit, but a total hard-on killer.

Not really gone, just another slight name change: https://rentmen.eu/David_SJCA/#platinum

DannyFitt (two t's) might well be VV, but DannyFit (one t) from Orlando is definitely not.

Did no one ever teach you guys Gay Bar Safety 101?
Only drink long neck beers…so you can keep your thumb over the mouth at all times. 
Only drink long neck beers….that you watched the bartender open.
Never go home with someone…..unless the bartender says he’s ok. 
Tip the fuck out of your bartender…..he will protect you. 
If the bartender says "you need to go home"….you need to go home….alone. 
Don’t try to fuck the bartender…he’s busy trying to keep you alive.

Back in the days of escort agencies, I would have been fine with enjoying  a drink, especially if it was Premier Escorts in Philadelphia

Glad to see the clarification.  Victor and Alex are different Volkovs.  I do think Victor and DannyFit are the same person.  If not, Victor is using some of Danny's pics.

When I was 22, 3 generations of my family took a cruise. It was my first. I was naive and had a girlfriend at home and knew I was attracted to men but didn't identify as gay. The last night of the cruise, I talked to a handsome Swiss bartender who offered to advise me on places to visit in Europe. He had dark hair, green eyes, some body hair, and was in his early 30s. I was very thin with a large butt, dark hair, hazel eyes, and a shy demeanor. He asked me to meet him after work, which was around 4 am. When I got there, he gave me some suggestions for travel and then he used his key to open the locked kitchen door. He put a blanket on the floor and we had sex. It was my first time fucking and I was the bottom. We stayed in touch through mail for awhile. He was a very nice guy who made my first time a positive experience. When I came home, I began my journey of coming out. I think being away and being naive gave me the perceived freedom to have sex without having to take responsibility.

Golly, somebody got up on the wrong side of the bed today!
 
Steven, like it or not, when a service provider changes his name frequently its a red flag. People - me or others -- will notice and comment here, and we're going to share our opinions based on our experiences. It's what we do. It's what this forum is for.

True - but the risk of transmission is highly reduced.
False - as @KeepItReal pointed out above, condoms are a trusted and proven safety measure.
True - it is possible but the risk of transmission is highly reduced.
False - Herpes, for example, can be transmitted by skin to skin contact without anything sexual happening.
False - most of my providers do not use condoms because they are afraid.  They use it because they care and don't wish to contract OR spread STDs in the community. 
Those of us who pay attention are aware that STD rates have been rising - mainly due to people no longer using condoms.  In the words of that great philosopher, Van Wilder:  Don't be a fool!  Wrap your tool!!

Another change: When I hired him he was a bottom, and he produced evidence each time that he enjoyed it. Now he seems to prefer to top.

Question: Does IvyLeague or anyone else who requires a deposit have a refund policy if they don't show or are delayed? Also, what if you meet for the first time and there is just no chemistry? I'm thinking of s situation where I showed up, and the room was a mess and smelled bad. Or the time when, during opening greetings, the provider told me the most important thing to him is that I not touch his hair. For very different reasons, both were instant mood -- and by mood, I mean boner -- killers. I'd want at least a partial refund, lol!

Nice rebound with humor, PecBounce. FYI, you're not alone. I REALLY tried -- for about a year as I remember -- to enjoy bottoming and just don't. Still wish I were more versatile, but just ain't! C'est le guerre. U do U.

Condoms are very effective in preventing STDs during penetration. Something like 98% effective against most, but keep in mind that herpes, genital warts and syphilis can be spread from skin-to-skin contact.
 
As for oral sex, that really depends on the STD in question. STDs like chlamydia, herpes, gonorrhea, syphilis and HPV can all be transmitted orally, meaning they can pass from one person's mouth to their partner's genitals or anus, or vice versa. In general, there is little to no risk of getting or transmitting HIV from oral sex. Theoretically, transmission of HIV is possible if an HIV-positive man ejaculates in his partner's mouth during oral sex (usually due to a cut or scrape in the mouth). However, the risk is still very low, and much lower than with anal or vaginal sex. ?
 
For my own safety and health, as well as those of my companions I always use condoms for penetration and get tested every couple of months for STDs. One of my biggest concerns with the younglings I meet is that they don't know their status.

I saw Andrew a couple of years ago in DC. Looks like his pictures, nice guy, low key. Low on the interactiveness scale. Did a bit better than average massage and offered a HE, but it felt very mechanical. Plus he operated out of a very low-cost rental room, horrible ambience, the kind of place where I worried about cleanliness. So for all those reasons, wouldn't repeat.

Well, A+ for Max's gung ho attitude! Love it!
