No-shows are a chronic headache for all professionals, not just escorts. I should know. I'm a Primary Care physician. On any given day, no-shows account for a PCPs total daily booked appointments at a rate of 5-20%, depending on the demographics of the patient panel and geography. Yes, that's a daily no-show rate. My personal office no-show rate hovers around 7%. It used to frustrate me a lot more than it does now. At this point in my career, I have come to understand some people are simply disrespectful of others. And I have a much better strategy of managing no-shows then I did when I first started.

I have a policy that 3 no-shows in <18 months (not 12 months) will have the professional relationship terminated and the patient needing to find a new physician. And if a new patient no-shows on their very first appointment, the staff are not allowed to make them another appointment. A no-show on the first appointment is that is all the evidence I need to know that the patient will be a hardship on my practice, and by extension, the health of my other patients in my panel who actually show up. Even if the patient calls to cancel but if its less than a 24 hr notice, it is still considered a no-show. The reason is, sometimes if there is <24 hr notice, that appointment spot can not be replaced by another patient as it sometimes impossible to logistically get another patient in his/her place. In this day and age of physician shortages, an unused appointment slot is a seriously unfortunate event which harms other patients. I have no desire or need to fill my panel with such disrespectful patients. It's not that they are disrespectful to me that is the issue, it's they are disrespectful to my other patients and prospective new patients who want to be seen but my staff have to say no to or put them off to a later date.

My office staff has a large protocol to help diminish no-shows. First, when they make an appointment, they are informed of the no-show policy AND if they are established patients, how many no-shows they have accumulated (if any) in the past 18 months. When a patient hears they have 2 no-shows in the past 18 months, it help motivate them to show up next time, or at least give 24 hr notice. Patient's are called 2 days before to remind them. If we have an address, email reminders go out the day before to further remind. Letters go to each patient who no-shows offering concern over their health and a reminder of the no-show policy. If they have no-shows already documented, that is included in the letter. The letter is as professional, pleasant, but matter of fact as can be in such a letter as this.

But we urgently suggest to patients to inform the office of a no-show even if it's less than 24 hrs because it might help them in the future. Is the patient rude to my staff (you might be surprised to hear how many patients are rude to office staff)? Do they always pay late or refuse to pay their co-pays/deductibles? Are they not getting better under my care due to their non-participation in the treatment plan? To many "yes'es" and I'm gonna terminate them. But if they have 3 no-shows but one of these was a call 2 hrs before the appointment to cancel (which is still a no-show) but are otherwise good patients (no yes'es to the above questions), I might delay termination... maybe, if they really ask for clemency and understand one more and they are gone. See, I'm not as mean as you think.

By implementing this protocol, my no-show rate, although frustrating, is at a reasonable level. Without it I have seen a no-show percentage of near 20%.

Why have I described in depth this office protocol? To suggest to all escorts to find and implement your own robust protocol for your business which can only help you. This should include accepting (as I have to do) that no professional can eliminate all no-shows. It's just a part of doing business.

Suggestions To Escorts:

1) Get an address at least 3 days before the session. (Why wouldn't a client give you one?)

2) No blocked calls.

3) Insist on a Day-Of confirmation text/phone call.

4) Where possible, identify red-flags which alert you to a client with an increased risk of a no-show and come up with a strategy to navigate and diminish that risk.

5) Inform the client making an appointment that you are the consummate professional and will absolutely give him at the least a 24 hr cancellation call (or more) if an emergency comes up. But ask him to do the same and actually get a verbal agreement from him on this. Review with him that this is your livelihood and to respect this and your time by giving you the same courtesy. Be pleasant, matter of fact, and polite with this part of conversation, but be clear. Possibly by getting him to verbally agree to give you a cancellation call, he will commit to respectful behavior because now he doesn't want to let himself down by breaking his word to himself.

I would love to hear other suggestions that escorts and clients are using/considering to use for this vexing problem.

Hugs to all,

Josh

I guess what I meant by fairly stupid comment is that Hepatitis A (from what I understand) can be contacted by being exposed to contaminated feces. Hepatitis B, on the other hand, can be contacted by exposure to infected blood and body fluids. The chances of infection are low but who knows. At any rate, like PrEP, this gives some protection.

Ok...um... I'm still lost, even after you explained yourself. My apologies.

Unfortunately the article does not seem to include any kind of vaccination schedule

I went to the medical literature. The second vaccination dose is 2-6 months after the first one. I'm very excited about this new vaccine. It appears much improved from the original.

Folks, you really want to get this vaccine. Please go speak with your doctor about this because Zoster is awful. I'm a physician so I know from clinical experience. So does this next poster below. So sorry for your suffering, Tanman.

A couple of years too late for me. Had it for 6 months just under two years ago. It sucks. I tried pretty much everything for relief. If I could have tried heroin I probably would have.

The only problem is that if you want to be really sure about avoiding hep you will have to wait at least 6 or 7 months to be sure about the vaccine. That means I will definitely have to put off sexual connections or at least put some regular items I usually enjoy off to the side. Life can be so hard

Um, could you elaborate on your comment? Yes, I'm a physician but I don't know everything but I'm unaware of "hep" (You mean hepatitis? Which one?) having a relationship with these vaccines. And I did look at some medical literature to see if I could find a connection.

I just did do a second search on Vikingbuddy. I had done an original search prior to initiating this thread cuz I am at least somewhat independent and capable (or so I thought) of doing my own research. Yet, I found nothing in that first search. BUT my mistake was typing "Viking buddy"- two words separated by a space, which produced nothing. Just now when I repeated it as "Vikingbuddy", um, yah, I found stuff. Some alarming stuff. Thank you, forum!

Live and learn...

But has he matured and grown? Maybe he provides better services now? Anyone with recent experiences? Any experience at all?

Good morning gentlemen.

Any scoop on this seemingly wonderful guy on RM? He has 3 reviews on RM but nothing on Daddys.

ANY and all information appreciated.

Just to be practical - probably not, since Josh hasn't posted since July.

Oh, I'm around. (Hi, all!) I just don't respond to foolish posts. Why feed the negativity?

Just because you were “correct” in your judgement....doesn’t mean you were “right” to make it.

Exactly!

Hope all the forum members are doing well. As we travel this Fall season that seems frought with so much sadness & tradgedy, gather Love & Hope and look forward towards the Light. (Get an extra session with an escort in. They are excellent with sharing Love and Hope)

Josh

First, full disclosure: I'm a feminist. Completely.

For example: do I believe that woman should get equal pay for equal jobs?

Of course.

Do I believe woman have the right to control their own bodies, including but not limited to the right to an abortion or even sex work as an adult.

Of course.

Did I vote for Hillary?

Of course (I love HRC!).

That notwithstanding, below is a link to a recent documentary by a feminist, the female filmmaker Cassie Jaye, on the "Men's Rights Movements".

If you have never read nor heard an in depth discussion of what the Men's Rights Movement is about, this documentary, The Red Pill is an excellent start. Ms Jaye provides an articulate, intelligent, and an in depth exposition of this movement, a movement that is highly misunderstood, underreported, and frequently (and sadly) maligned. What's really sad is many men don't know enough about the Mens Rights Movement.

I strongly suspect some of you in this forum would be impressed with what you see.

And might change a few personal views on a the equality movement, for both sexes.

I encourage all of you to see it. It's available online.

And come back to us with your thoughts.

Hugs, kisses, and protected sex to all,

Josh

No offense but I call that GROSS. I didn't grow up in the 1950s either. As for the sexual revolution? That brought us AIDS and death. You can have it.

No offense but I call your statement IGNORANT. I didn't grow up in the 50s either. As for the sexual revolution, it didn't bring us AIDS and death, not using a condom did. So, yeah, you can keep your ignorance but I'll keep my condoms and the sexual revolution. As well as allowing my grown up and lovely mother to have a healthy sex life without any judgement or 9 year old like responses from me cuz she raised me right.

My story:

I've chatted with him briefly. He was quite professional.

Didn't hook up with him due to scheduling issues (mine, not his).

Yes, I would love to see a review or real, bona-fide account of a meeting.

He said he would touch base with me to confirm our meeting, which he never did. I didn't bother texting him, since I also took that as a sign of not wanting to meet.

He said he would get back to me regarding available times, but then I never heard from him again. That's all I need to know about him.

I'm not saying this escorts is following the best business practices by not communicating with every prospective client . He's not. But I must admit the first thing I thought of when I read the above quoted statements is that as a client, I have always been the one to follow thru. I don't wait on an escort to contact me. I offer a specific evening (and time) and if he's available, cool. I do the pursuit cuz I suspect if I wanna meet him, so do others. I'm not gonna wait in line. I'm gonna jump to the front of the line. Waiting (semi) passively for an escort to contact me back is risky.

Especially with an attractive escort that advertises that he "loves kissing", and maybe more importantly, advertises for only $200 for an in-call. 200 bucks is a great bargin. My suspicion (and obviously I don't know for sure) is he has some amount of a steady repeat client base. So he gets to a new city, has a lot of calls/texts cuz his rates are quite competitive (on top of a few repeat clients he is previously set up with) and goes with what he is capable of doing. So if he has one prospective client (say, Izaak from above) who Zach is supposed to call back in 2 days and hope that client is still interested vs a guy who calls him and says let's meet now. The "now" client is gonna get the escort. It's not the best business strategy in my opinion, but I honestly think it's cuz he fills his books and doesn't need to call back every new inquiries. Comments?

I find it odd that he questioned me with personal questions though..

Ok, that's interesting. May I ask what personal questions he was asking? I've spoken to him and didn't get those questions asked of me.

Warmest regards,

Josh

I discovered he managed the Las Vegas Adonis in 2014.

Still trying to figure him out.

He seems like a good guy...

There is actually some reviews of him escorting- 2013. Even a video interview of him.

But I think things have changed for him over the years as Big-n-Tall suggests.

Anyone with information is also more than welcome to PM me.

Hey folks,

Anyone know about this muscle stud in San Diego?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've done this in the recent past with 2 young men, separately of course. Both times it worked out well. It definitely was not platonic.

 

I was clear at the outset on what my needs were and when I expected them to be met. Similarly, I helped the young man define his needs and goals by discussing how I could help him. I found the experience delightful because I enjoy the company of polite, well-educated and attractive young men.

 

The surprises to me were threefold:

1. I had to set boundaries early on with one man. I explained that I wasn't a parent and so I was not obliged to take care of everything for him.

2. I had not realised how much and how often young men eat (and drink) when they are physically active.

3. Bonds of affection grew quite quickly. On leaving, each man expressed his love for me and how much living with me had helped. (And I remain close to both men)

MscleLovr,

Thank you so much for your comment. Its very illuminating.

Could you tell us more about #1? What lead you to having to set boundaries? What were those boundaries? Was the boundary setting successful? Why was that relationship different in its need for boundary setting compared to the other 2 relationships?

Now that you are experienced in this matter, what words of advice would you give someone considering such an arrangement?

Do you have any suggestions to a "Daddy" in how to find a sugarbaby who is emotionally healthy? What are some red flags you discovered that you weren't aware of before?

What would you do differently given if the chance to go back in time? What would you do exactly the same?

Feel free to answer all, some or none of my questions. It's just refreshing to find a man experienced in this area and willing to be generous with sharing their story that others might benefit.

Warmest regards.

And thank you for what you have already shared. It's very helpful.

My understanding of that is eventually the penis will have a discharge and involve painful urination. Easy enough to prevent future transmissions unless you're being a very fast and furious slut. So I've been told anyways:)

I must respectfully but adamantly object to your statement as it is simply wrong. STIs, including gonorrhea and chlamydia, do not always have a discharge from the penis. Indeed, an asymptotic infection- meaning the person feels fine and has no penile discharge- can commonly occur. This is readily found in the medical literature.

And this makes logical sense. If a man is having burning in his penis, or having outright puss-like discharge coming out, he isnt feeling his most sexy. Rather than running to sex he is running to the physician. It's the people with NO symptoms that are infecting others because they dont know.

Consider changing the sources of your healthcare advice.

Be safe.

Be informed.

And be well.

Warmest regards.

Things can happen good connection great personality

I'M IN LOVE!!

(gets on bended knee)

Kerry, will you MARRY ME?

I'm rich. I live in a huge house.

You will want for NOTHING. I promise.

PS. I'll email you the pre-nup.

Ok, now that all the above is cleared up, here's THE REAL question for Kerry Slate: is he truly VERSATILE like the last review stated? I mean, THAT'S the real news here. I thot he was a top only. But versatile is a WHOLE OTHER PARTY!!!

Kerry Slate: feel FREE to chime in here.

I think he meant he found "no show" reviews on daddy's not that he found "no show" reviews for Kerry.

Sorry, but I have no idea what that means. And I'm not new to this forum. Please elaborate.

I did a search and there are several no-show reviews.

Maybe your skills are better than mine in searching the internet, but I found no no-show reviews on K Slate.

Quite the opposite: stellar reviews.

How do we know it's not YOU who is the crazy one here?

PLEASE post your Internet search results with "several" no-show reviews.

Why am I so skeptical? I spoke with K Slate once (our schedules didn't match up that weekend). He was professional, quite polite, very open minded and chatty (and sexy sounding as hell). He did mention he shies away from the crazies (He gets his fair share). Please show us these no-show reviews that I couldnt find. I'm open to your POV.

Sorry for the tardy response. I've been quite busy.

QTR: You entirely miss my points. I remind you that I called you out after observing a trend throughout Daddys Reviews where you are the one who posts anti-men comments on how men accused of rape should be considered guilty and prove their innocence after which contradicts everything our judicial system and society believe in. I'm not alone in this observation. Others from this forum have observed this, too. You clearly promote a "guilty till proven innocent" ideology.

To put into practice this type of Salem-Witch-Trial/McCarthy-era Communist-witch-trial mentality of "guilty till proven innocent" ideology is, fortunately, against US law. Unlike you, most logical thinking and fair minded people would never agree to such a horrible policy.

When I hear that someone is accused of rape I most certainly will not believe he is guilty till he is proven guilty by a court of law. It's the right manner to approach this. It's the American way.

I am told you are a lawyer. Unlike the rest of us, you are specialist in law. You should know all this. This makes it even more shocking you would propose such a blatant attack on the rights and dignity of men. I can come to no other conclusion that surely you must hate men for proposing such an misguided man-bashing idea. An idea I thoroughly reject.

Note to the forum: as I said before, rape is heinous crime. I am not a rape apologist. Those found guilty should be locked away in prison for a long, long time. I am not unawares that rape continues to be a terrible scourge on our society. And I do not hate woman. Quite the opposite. I'm quite the feminist at times with strong pro-woman beliefs. To name a few: I'm a firm believer in equal pay; a woman's right to control her body (very pro-choice); love Planned Parenthood; believe woman should be allowed in the armed forces infantry; and LOVE Hillary Clinton( Vote HRC 2016!!) !

I'm saying that with rape allegations, the inclination is to assume they're false until conclusively proven true. I'm saying let's start off assuming they're true and then try to confirm them

QTR, thank you SO MUCH for proving my point. How in the world you have come up with such man-hating idea? In our society, people are innocent till proven guilty. But not with you. I shudder to think what the world would be like if you were in charge.

This forum was started by a Gay man and it's for Gay/Bisexual men and their escorts. And these men on this forum I have learned are quite intelligent, witty, kind, insightful, and deep. We come here for support, information, humor, and community. I really want you to reconsider your (incessant) need to throw in our faces how men accused of rape are (in your eyes and should be in others eyes) guilty. If we wanted to read such anti-men propaganda, the media is FULL of options. Do you truly think we come to this forum for this?

An analogy: there is a breast cancer forum started by a female breast cancer survivor written for breast cancer survivors and those currently battling it's terrible assault. A man starts posting how breast mammograms are being done too frequently and a waste of money and the science doesnt support yearly mammograms. Don't you think the women on the forum would get mad at the guy screaming out that mammograms save lives? Are you even for one second considering what you post and it's location?

I do agree with Josh to the extent that I often find that when it comes to rape cases, she often takes the position that "accusation" = "indisputable fact". I find it particularly troublesome for someone who's had education and training as an attorney that she seems oblivious to the fact that sometimes accusers have other ulterior motives.

It is my STRONG opinion that due to the fact that the men on this forum are reluctant to join in (too much) controversy or painful topics. I suspect this reluctance applies to this topic of rape/rape allegations/presumed guilt. Who wants to get involved with this? But two of us on this forum HAVE commented on this (Unicorn: I am not suggesting you agree with everything I write, only that you made the same observation as I did). I think there are others who have made the same observations but just won't join this tempest. And I respect this, cuz I greatly respect my peers on this forum. Amazing men.

In regard to assuming men are guilty when they are accused of rape, I ask once again that you stop such assertions on this forum. I am certain there are more receptive forums.

But unless she offered out of the blue, which I don't think even he argued, the idea of consensuality or lack of a power differential is absurd when talking about a powerful man well enough off to rent a suite in an upscale NYC hotel and a maid. What do you expect her to do when propositioned by such a person in a hotel room by herself: say no and risk violence, or say yes?

Well, um, yes, Quotetheraven, I DO expect a woman to decline sex if she doesn't want it. There is SIGNIFICANT evidence that the female accuser was a LYING PIECE OF SHIT and eventually the whole rape charge was dropped cuz it was suspected to be bogus accusations from a liar. My opinion is she was offered sex by a (heterosexual) man-whore and saw him as a cash cow. I don't think I'm alone in this opinion.

Don't believe me? Read on.

From CBS NEWS:

"The woman's asylum application described how she and her husband were persecuted and beaten by regime forces in Guinea. She claimed her husband was imprisoned, tortured and subsequently died at the hands of police. The woman later admitted to prosecutors that her account was false and that she had been coached by another man to create the fictional account for the purposes of the application."

"The woman twice relayed to investigators emotional accounts of how she was gang-raped in Guinea. She later said those accounts were false and were similarly used for the asylum application process. However, she did still claim that she was a rape victim, though the details did not match her original story."

"The woman admitted to using a friend's child to fraudulently claim an additional dependent and increase her tax refund. She also misrepresented her income to maintain her housing."

Additionally, the New York Times, citing unnamed law enforcement officials, reported that:

- In the day following her accusations against Strauss-Kahn, the woman had a phone conversation with a man imprisoned and charged with possession of 400 pounds of marijuana. In the conversation, which was recorded, she spoke about possible benefits of pursuing the case, two officials told the paper.

- Investigators discovered the imprisoned man was one of several people who deposited around $100,000 in cash in the woman's bank account over the last two years. The deposits were made from around the country - in Arizona, Georgia, New York and Pennsylvania. The woman claimed to know nothing about the deposits, saying they were made by her fiancé and his friends.

- The woman was also paying phone bills to five different companies, though she told investigators that she owned just one phone.

Quotetheraven: PLEASE leave your man bashing to another site. FYI: MEN come here to support each other, get information, let loose, laugh, share stories, and enjoy each others (online) company. We DO NOT come here to be bashed (by woman) and hear our gender being accused (by you) of being rapists (I've noticed you bring that accusation A LOT to this forum but we are [mostly] G.A.Y. we don't rape woman so it's not quite germane to this forum). Those accusations & dramas are for OTHER websites/forums. Please stop doing the man-bashing here. It's not appreciated.

PS I'm fully aware that rape happens and fully support those who are found guilty of such heinous crime be put in prison for a long, long time.

Is this him? http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:QB_swFiGI1AJ:www.rentboy.com/justangelo+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us

Yes.

And his pics are real.

On the bed part, I said he was "kind of meh" while you said he was "only ok," so I don't think it was your non-relaxation that was the issue. I was perfectly comfortable, and I still thought he was "kind of meh." I think JustAngelo's bed performance is the issue.

Maybe...

But I'm not sure he is all, or even mostly to blame. As a client I bring my own set of issues to a session which can impede attainment of any goals. It's just too easy to blame others and not take responsibility. I'm leery of doing that. But I hear your point.

I would love to hear others firsthand account.

Durchmuch: I think he said he spoke Czeck.

Yeah, it was his cell phone.

Here's my first-hand experience with JustAngelo.

 

PROS

• Setting up the appointment was pretty easy.
  
• His photos are totally accurate, including his buff body and huge cock.
  
• He's a fine conversationalist.
  

 

CONS

• He was just kind of meh in bed.
  
• He wasn't hard most of the time.
  
• He was definitely a clock watcher, even setting a timer to go off.
  

Hi gentleman,

I flew into LA to see him and this is my firsthand experience:

He was

- very easy to catch in a text conversation to set up the session.

-always hard and its big, bordering onto huge.

-a good conversationalist.

-definitely a clock watcher (yes, he set a timer but I honestly have no issues with this),

- able to present a freaking amazing body just as advertized in his pics. His stats are totally acurate.

-only ok with the bed activities. They were... not... my best experience. But I honestly think that was more my fault than his. I couldn't relax. But I was that way prior to meeting him. Could he have done more to try to relax me? Probably. Would it had worked? I'm not sure. I fear it would not have. So I'm ultimately reluctant to put too much blame on him.

- not able to start our session off well. He showed up not ready. He had to shower first. I didnt appreciate that. I would think that an escort should come to the session at least showered, right?

I didn't appreciate (at all) that after we had set up our appointment, I asked for a brief 3 min (I assured him it would be brief) phone conversation (everything was set up via text) to see what he sounded like and make sure he didnt sound high or like a serial killer, but he staunchly refused. I almost cancelled cuz of this, but I ultimately kept the appointment. I'm (marginally) glad I did. But I honestly think many guys are better prepared to enjoy their time with him more than I.

I hope this helps?

Ok, Truhart, I now understand the whole title progression. Thank you. I've been curious for sometime.

But what about the "trophy points"?

All it says in the Help section:

Somebody Likes You

Somebody out there liked one of your messages. Keep posting like that for more!

It's under 2 points. Does that mean for every "like" I get, I get 2 points? But that can't be correct as I have 23 likes but only 8 points.

Please help me to understand. I'm lost. And afraid....
