adventurous old guy

He's based in Chicago now, with some very good recent reviews on RM by established members. I know one of his reviewers who has recommended him to me as an excellent bottom. Apparently very versatile, though this is hearsay -- I don't speak from personal experience.

looks like we need to do a whatever happened to on Max ... Diesel is on Twitter and contemplating a come back

Covid-19 take on "15 minutes of fame?" Many of us might just have a lot more time in our days lol

Certainly.
-He charges a higher rate than some are willing to pay. May require deposit
-Some members love him, including some veteran posters
-Some dislike him for a litany of reasons
-Some find is education/degree to be rather common
-The other 17 pages is just filler, including discussions of pizza and COVID

Is there cliffnotes on why this thread is 19 pages long? I checked in a few times when this 411 1st started but now? wow lol.
 
Usually Derek Atlas and Austin Wolf causes this type of engagement lol.

There is someone on the Planet Romeo site professing to be Paddy and currently in NYC. I messaged him saying I was interested but wary it was really him. We'll see what he responds with.

They are not borrowed. I met with Christiano (the more ripped guy with the tat just under his pec).
Such a SWEETIE, polite, accomodating, and in the same shape as those pics (remember most of the pics are professional).
He gave a great massage, the sensual erotic part was good too, but he does have his limits (basically no anal and no kissing).
The other pics are his roomie/travel friend (my best guess) and was polite. He left immediately upon my arrival, as i only hired Christiano.
I would repeat

Let's be frank... Harsh would be calling someone a fucking moron.
 
To me, antiquated is how you describe someone who thinks that life is only black & white. That's exactly how the poster I responded to replied. He said it's either life or death, which as we all know isn't true anymore. Now, thanks to medication, it's multiple shades of grey.
 
Do I think we still need to use our brain before we fuck? Of course. Do I reprimand those who exclusively fuck bareback? No. Same goes for those who always use a condom. It's about personal comfort level. You do you.
 
What I don't buy into is shaming people into groupthink.
 
We have an entire older generation who's having a very hard time accepting that the medical landscape has changed and continues to change. While there's no silver bullet (yet), we're getting there and that's an exciting prospect.

Hmmm, following the content and tone of this thread with interest. Benjamin, with respect -- "antiquated" strikes me as a pretty harsh characterization of concerns with the risks of raw sex. Yes, the risk of death from condom-free sex may be greatly mitigated, but they still protect against multiple STDs, many of which are becoming increasingly antibiotic resistant, therefor potentially life-threatening. https://www.cdc.gov/drugresistance/biggest-threats.html
 
However, I see your point. And its pertinent to me because I'm in an intense conversation with a 30ish friend who thinks it's irresponsible of sexually active men not to go on PrEP and rely on condoms to manage risk of getting or transmitting HIV. He argues that PrEP is easily accessible, condoms can break and consistent condom use is too easily impaired by a couple of cocktails or other real time factors. He would never trust that someone who says they always use condoms is telling the truth. For me, as a 60+ person who started having sex with men in 1977 just as the HIV pandemic was starting, I'm deeply socialized to associate condom use as death prevention. Plus condom reliance has worked for me for 40+ years, averaging maybe 20 sex partners a year, most of them escorts. The prospect of shifting from condom use to relying on a pill feels dangerous. I realize that's a bias, but I'm experiencing it as a mindfuck. Like losing religion.
 
Bottom line, I appreciate the dialogue and the chance to share this perspective and consider my own embedded biases. Also, again to Benjamin's point, risk is dynamic -- in the Covid environment there appears to be more risk of death or serious illness from kissing a new person than from having sex with one.
 
AOG

agree...no clear face pic so he can say ...sure that was me, I was in better shape then

I've seen many of those pics floating around different sites on the Internet. I would therefore say at least a handful of them are "borrowed" ?

Never hired him, but didn't/doesn't Project Runway contender Jack Mackenroth advertise from time to time?

Yes

There, I fixed for you.

Too late honey.
 

In my early 30’s.
Philadelphia on a business trip.
Used Premier for an overnight hire.
I was terrified.
They were wonderful and kind.
The escort was a dud.
Nonetheless I was hooked.

Oh good, glad to hear. While I don't count myself a part of his personal life, we had a clear expectation going in that he would bottom. And then he couldn't, which I empathized with as its something I just don't enjoy. Interesting conversation ensued. Apparently he's clearer about that now.

Good thing I did ?
 

If you still are interested in meeting him, I don't think it's too late to turn this around. You seem reasonable and articulate about what went wrong before. And he's both a good communicator and a nice enough guy that I think he'd give you a second chance. I once had to cancel with him very shortly before a date. I was literally in a cab on the way to his hotel when an event at work required me to immediately fire someone over the phone and then follow up with legal, etc. Our date turned into a meeting in his hotel lobby where I had phone in one ear, muted as I gave him an overview about what I was managing. He had a flight out so couldn't postpone. I took the high road and paid him the base fee agreed upon, so he knew I wasn't screwing with him. But I could tell, both then and in texts after, that he was empathetic and understanding, and he was fun and flirtatious in doing so. So extrapolating from that experience, I think you could take the high road, say I was hesitant then, I'm not now, and he'd agree to move forward. Its his business. And its not like you did anything that was terrible or really put him out, so there's not a whole lot to forgive. I'd just start with a mea culpa, be very clear about setting a date and enthusiastic in tone, so he knows your ambivalence is gone.

Ex-military could be a positive. Pre-meet negotiation and vibe should be the deciding factors. Don't overcommunicate, though, and don't sound suspicious. Meet in a public place, if he agrees. And all the other usual stuff!!

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.

Thx AZDR, appreciate it. I do my best here to be fair and civil. I see a similar approach in your posts as well.
