Tricky one. Many of these traveling ones do have separate, and significantly higher prices to bottom, so the $500/hr $1K/btm shouldn’t be a surprise. I read the exchange more like he replied to the bottom question, then realised it was you. His follow up text saying he’d of course adjust his rate for you I took as him saying his normal bottom rate would be lowered or the length extended given your established relationship. I didn’t read it as he was upping his price because he knows you have money. But that’s just my take as a totally objective outsider 🤷🏼‍♂️

I get what you’re saying, but that’s not how it works in real life in either the public sector or the private sector. Career civil servants do have a layer of protection, but appointees don’t have any. Same holds true in the private sector. Where could you publicly tweet for your CEO to “eat my c**t” or tweet for a corporate VP to “choke on a d**k” and not think there’s going to be consequences? Would you be able to tweet anything like that without blowback? Each of us give up all sorts of rights - some little, some big - every day in the workplace. A big part of it had to do with him publicly naming his boss, speculating on his body, how hung he must be, how hard he’d fuck Erick, etc. while he was putting on one of his webcam shows. Erick made it difficult if not impossible for any company to keep it private. As far as going to get help, and coming back to work - Erick ruined his own brand, so there was no path for him to comeback after this all became public. One bit of news that should please Erick is that the NYPD is investigating this as “revenge porn”, and are trying to track down the individual (and it appears it was only one person) who recorded, and sent the webcam shows to the network, and others. If they track him down, at least Erick will know whether this all down to some bitter rando, or if it was down to someone he knew. I’m not buying that - that’s a knee jerk rationale. There are plenty of gay employees at this network across their affiliates, and across all departments. They’re not closeted, they’re not afraid of the network bosses, there’s even gay networking groups sponsored by the network. If you ask any of them why/how they could work there, they’ll tell you the pay, benefits, and perks are higher than the industry standard, at least in NYC, and the majority of opinion broadcasts are just so much theatre. There’s homophobes and right wingers at every single company - whether they’re open about it or one of the stealth ones, they’re there. If this was Blaze, OAN, or Newsmax I think your argument would be correct - but then again, they’d never have hired Erick in the first place. Regardless, both of these cases boil down to an epic failure of judgement by Erick, and Greg, nothing more.

Thanks, mate! I do wonder if it’s him, but the text “sounds” like him, you know what I mean? I’d break so many of my “rules” to engage this guy 😂

That’s a perfect world, and as we all know, not the real world we live in. It doesn’t matter whether one agrees or disagrees with his tweets - they were ad hominem attacks directed at his boss (Adams), and part of his management (Paladino). That’s grounds for termination at most companies/firms. NY is an employment at will state, so any employer can terminate an employee for any reason, or no reason. Government employees are also subject to moral/ethical standards, and most firms have some sort of moral clause in their employment contracts, all of which allows for the employee to be terminated for violations. Again, I’m not shaming or judging him for his political opinions or for his side hustle. I’m judging him for his colossal lack of judgement by letting his private life bleed into his professional life. Honestly, as a member of the bar, he of all people should have known how this could, and did, play out. Like the meteorologist, he was not being “sex positive”, he was being stupid, period.

Interesting - much of his OF/JFF has him in the top bunk. I would normally be on board with this sentiment too, but with this gent, I definitely wouldn’t kick him out of bed for eating crackers! 😉 This would be more of a deal breaker for me - and him only bottoming 😜

No, I have no experience beyond visually enjoying him! Do you have a link to his RM ad? 😀

I *think* that is something that is growing less, and less common. I have seen over the last few years younger guys who previously shaved, now embracing their hirsuteness 🙏🏻

Quite literally, the dick of death! 🍆 ☠️

Just came across his profile on RM. Has anyone taken the plunge with this hot gent? 🤞🏻

Same these last 3 years - unless I knew them before, or they’ve been on a call, they’re just a name on an email address. So like you, if they had an OF/JFF, I wouldn’t have a clue! Now if we’re going to talk about who at work we may wish has an OF/JFF, that’s a different story! 😜

Remote or in office, client facing or back office, all it takes is one person to find your Twitter, OF/JFF, and bring it to the attention of management. If you’re going to engage in this type of side hustle and/or tweet about your boss, and others as he did, you need to make damn sure you’re taking precautions to make sure none of it can be traced back to you. If not, and you behave as cavalierly as this guy did, don’t be surprised if you’re shown the office door. Doesn’t matter that we live in NYC, it really is a small gay world 😂

I think that makes a huge difference, as it’s coming from the provider vs a query from a “potential client”. In the latter, it does across as one is looking for full service on the cheap. Clearly. In my 20 plus years engaged in this hobby, and having engaged gents in multiple states, multiple countries, multiple continents I’ve never engaged one who advertised 30 minute rates - nor would I want to.

I’m in complete agreement with @Asterisk. How many well regarded, well reviewed providers thru the years, on the current and previous iterations of this forum, have discussed how much time is wasted by “potential clients” trying to haggle them on price, only to get abuse - not dissimilar to what this provider received. I am not aware of any professional provider who offers 30 minute pricing/sessions. That’s more the realm of curb crawling. As stated in the previous post, in my opinion it was the provider who was the one that dodged a bullet here.

I keep seeing this thread, and I get excited thinking “Markus Kage!” but alas, no. 🤷🏼‍♂️ Having said that, this Mr Kage is definitely hot! He can pull. Tho given his now going on 5 month absence, I’m thinking @Nomadic may be correct.

Just as an aside, I posted the story because I thought it was a funny, if idiotic, example of some men who show no judgement when it comes to making private activities public. But I have to say I’m surprised at the number of posts here defending this gent for what he engages in during his “private life”. News flash - his or anyone’s twitter and OF/JFF are not what anyone could deem “private”. I’m actually wondering what type of companies/firms some work at where this type of public behaviour would not be grounds for termination 🤷🏼‍♂️ To be clear, I’m not judging or condemning him for what he does engage in, but rather I’m just chuckling over his clear lack of judgement, and what it cost him.

There are a few of the tops that keep their faces cropped out of their vids, but in fairness, their faces aren’t bringing in the punters! 😜

I *knew* someone on here must at least recognise him! When the story broke, the texts were fast and furious among my NYC lawyers friends, and my politico friends lol Funny enough while many admit that they know him now, there’s a number who are very reticent to say how well they “know” him 😝At the other end, one guy in the group text -hot early thirties Wall St jock bruh type- had no problem going into chapter and verse on what they did, where, and when! Did your group interact with him and his house much? Or was it the typical FI thing - knowing them from seeing around, but don’t know them.

If i wrote that, I would mean, he (provider) was stoned with me, but he may not be when you see him, and that’s how I’m reading it. YMMV covers a plethora of areas - from activities, to chemistry between you, to imbibing in liquor or smokes, to clock watching or not, to conversation, ad infinitum. There’s really no way to enumerate all the ways it can be used in this hobby. Just know if a fellow hobbyist uses it in his review of an encounter with a gent, it’s safe to take it that whatever YMMV is referencing is not a guarantee in any future encounter. As such, if what is being referenced is something you want included in your encounter, best to confirm with the gent.

That’s putting it very mildly! I had a brief foray as a political appointee in City government a few administrations ago, and if you think corporate America has some BS rules, trust, they have nothing on NYC’s rules. As a city employee - whether you’re a civil servant or a political appointee - you are severely restricted by what you can say/do/post on social media. Employees have been demoted, suspended, and terminated over stuff on social media. The city also requires you to submit your social media handles during the vetting process. If it is found out after that you had a secret/second social media account(s) that you did not disclose, the city will terminate you. Side gigs, second jobs, etc. may not seem like a big deal, but when you’re employed by the city, they are. Beyond your own management chain, you also need to disclose any outside jobs to 2 or 3 other departments - and everyone needs to sign off on it before you can technically start the side gig. And don’t think “it’s easier to beg forgiveness than ask permission” works - I knew two employees who tried to pull that, and both were terminated by the city. One had almost 30 years too. Idiots. Granted the use of “judge” is a bit of a stretch here -at one time OATH judges didn’t even need a JD- he’s not exactly deciding Plessy v Ferguson or even citing case law for his decisions, but I don’t get how you think it is in anyway appropriate for a city employee to engage in a porn side hustle? I can’t think of one reputable company that wouldn’t terminate him as an employee for either his social media postings or his porn gig or both. @Unicorn there actually are a few OF/JFF performers who do not show face at all. Ever. But their content brings in the business! @BOZO T CLOWN thanks for posting his pics! He’s definitely hot - the pic of him in the cage is woofy! He’s got a body, cock, and libertine attitude for porn and this hobby - one of you eagle eyed gents needs to keep one eye out for him 😜

Nice find, @bobsboy51! 👍🏻 I’d be interested in hearing any feedback on this gent as well.

As another poster said above, I do think he’s hot but his studio porn is rather “meh”. I’d also be curious about how old some of his pics are. I’m guessing his more current pics are first, and they get older as you scroll. If there was some commentary on his topping, how engaged he is in a session, kissing, etc., I’d engage him during a West Coast trip.
