I think there's a fundamental difference in the dynamics of male/male and male/female relationships and attitudes about casual (compensated or not) sex.

 

Times are changing -- slowly -- but this is still a very patriarchal society and female "virtue" has a value to straight men that does not have a corollary in the gay male world. There is also a sizable difference in the stigma placed on female sex workers that requires additional compensation.

 

Finally, and probably most importantly, is that gay men can more easily access alternate hookups. They may not be the insanely hot young men we have hired, but there are plenty of acceptable peers if you just lower your expectations. It has always been easier for gay men to get sex. I know that things are loosening up in the straight world, but I don't think they are anywhere close to the traditional and current state of our hook ups. Gay men know this, so the cost/benefit is unlikely to ever be the same. At least not in my lifetime.

Great points and this is exactly what I meant when I said that I don't think that M4M escorts can charge, nor should they try and charge as much as women. The myth and stigma that women don't want sex as much as men do, gives female sex workers greater leverage for higher rates, whereas gay men (stereotypically) can get laid much easier because men always want sex.

I said in my post that I've only raised my rates twice in 8 years, but I realized that I've actually only done it once. I would never want to raise my rates to a point where I've priced out a majority of guys out there and am only accessible to the very wealthy. I love what I do and want to be busy.

I'm curious, since it has been mentioned here before, do they also require full disclosure of client identity to facilitate background checks? Not saying they are wrong to do so, I have no experience on the straight side. It was just a bit of a surprise to hear this as standard practice.

Yeah, most of them go through a fairly rigorous background check. They can either get vouched for by other escorts that they've seen, or provide social media accounts as verification. I'm sure there are other ways, and most require deposit too.

I know alot of female sex workers, and there rates are certainly higher (on average) than most men. Many of them that I have spoken to charge $500-600/hr and only do multiple hours. I don't believe the rates for male escorts will, nor should be the same. At $200-300 an hour, one can live quite comfortably, as long as they can grow and hold onto a good clientelle. I also think life is made too complicated by having clients at all different rates. I've only raised my rates twice in 8 years. I know you didn't write this @BlakeBenz , but I'm just curious, of the advice in there, which are you planning to implement? Do you have a professional photoshoot lined up? Website?

Husband/Wife Duos are fun! I am Bi and I enjoy all aspects of playing with a straight couple. I have had a few in the past, all different on how they approach it. As with any client, clear communication is a must with expectations for all 3 of you. Have fun! I'm seeing a regular couple for 2 days on their anniversary in 4 weeks. Lucky me!

Thanks, I enjoy experiences that take me out of my comfort zone, as long as expectations are clear and boundaries understood. I feel really comfortable with them and excited to experience something new. Sadly they had to cancel for tomorrow, but are commited to finding a day in the next few weeks that will work. Excited to meet you in PS!

The sites making a lot of money are making an effort to skirt the coming filters. The ones not making money are packing it in.

 

What kills me is Twitter/OnlyFans which is overwhelming porn and models saying "I am available for the next 4 hours on RentMan".

Yesterday Rentmen removed the "Share on Twitter" option when setting our availability, so apparently they are concerned about directly involving Twitter in our advertising. Twitter seemingly is allowing us to continue sharing what we wish, however they are shadowbanning us (restricting who can see our posts based on what they deem objectionable without letting us know). I have been shadowbanned for months now.

Wow now I know why everyone is high on Lance, looks amazing!

Thanks!

Of the clients that actually schedule and show up, 99% are absolutely delightful, respectful and professional. As far as time wasters, for me that only occupies maybe 15-20% of the emails I recieved.

I guess people will just have use personal text as the mail commuication platform instead of RM. The RM platform will be good for getting basic info then all other communications will be by personal text.

That's true, but I would also encourage all that plan to be doing this work for at least 5 years, to create a professional website. Using Wix, it can be done over a weekend, and having you're own web presence is invaluable.

So, I just scheduled for next Friday with a husband and wife. I was a bit anxious, since it will be a first for me, but after emailing with him and talking on the phone with her, I'm really excited. She told me that he shared his interest in exploring intimacy with a male a couple years ago, and they are ready to take the leap. She will mostly be watching, but will join in touching and pleasuring him as well. They are much more interested in intimate and sensual energy, rather than heavily erotic. I'm just curious who else out there may have had a similar session?

A friend (fellow escort) recently told me that a friend of his had started adding a few drops of clove oil to a full bottle of lube, for this very purpose. He said that clove oil has an antiseptic property that could kill bacteria, such as gonorrhea and chlamydia. It also has a warming effect and scent, which some may like. Anyone have a professional perspective on this?

Just recieved an email this morning from the Rentmen webmaster, stating

"We would like to inform you that due to some recently introduced legal requirements in your region, your About Me text was reviewed and may be modified.

Thank you for your understanding!

They removed some text that was a quote from a client making reference to "being inside him" and also a reference to "being comfortable with whatever the clients safety preference is". They still allow me to list my website, which is all I really care about, as I ultimately prefer that clients reach out to me through there. I'm sure if you haven't recieved a similar message from them, and your text contains anything objectionable, you will soon.

One of my favorite selfies, taken last week in PV.

I received my order from them! WOW what a bargain from what I can tell! I’ve taken 1 Viagra and it seems to be the real thing. It’s a higher dose than what I got at Walgreens but It’s been working very well! They also gave me samples of Cialis and Levitra. I’ll be ordering more once the skin on my dick grows back! LOL

YIPPY!!! So happy you're pleased and its making you and your dick happy. You may want to try just taking half, I usually only take a quarter. Happy humping and stroking!

That's unfortunate to hear, but I hope that doesn't dissuade people from visiting PV. We are actually in the cab, heading to the PV airport to fly back home now, after a glorious week here (we come down every year). It's unfortunate they won't acknowledge the motivation, but overall I still feel safer here than many parts of the US.

Where are you? While reading this, I kept thinking of @Lance_Navarro in San Francisco.

Ahhhh, thanks so much @poolboy48220 & @Funguy!

I got my start in massage through workshops that were largely rooted in Body Electric, from there, erotic work just became a natural extension. I think everyone can benefit from attending a body electric workshop.

Not sure how I missed this, but thank you @jeepo1 & @Truereview for your kind words!

Hi Lance,

You have used them regularly without issue and tthe pills worked well. They offer 35% off using bit coin. A 100 Viagra would last me a year. This is a great deal. They are offering free samples of others as well.

Yup, I've ordered from them twice and have had others order. Everyone has been pleased with speed of shipping and quality.

I love my gear, almost as much as my bike!

I've shared it before, and I will again. Here's a site that I've used and it went well. It's less than $1/pill if you order in bulk and I believe they offer an extra 20% off if you pay with Bitcoin. They offer viagra, Cialis and Levitra. https://viabestbuy.com/buy/generic-viagra-100mg-x-100-pills/

Thanks babe. Appreciate that. I believe if memory serves I owe you. Xoxo

Actually, it's the other way around. You already gave it to me good, it's my turn.

I can't imagine giving you up! If I lived there, I would be delighted to see you on a regular basis. I'm glad though that you're not looking inward and trying to figure out what you could have done wrong, cause I'm sure it had nothing to do with you. I hope we can connect when I'm out there in the Fall.

They aren't really pants, but...

With all the beautiful men that are confirmed to be there, and all you'll can talk about is who you hope will be
