What the heck does that have to do with whether pedophiles are born or created? Or what role abuse plays into their behavior?

I have never met a gay man of ANY age who wasn't concerned about his body image. You might get to a place of acceptance, especially if you are playing with men of your own age, but I'm not buying for a minute that sex is better when you're in your 60s. Not saying it can't be good. Just that it can't be better then your younger years.

I wish no ill on him but I have seen it happen to two young escorts. He will run into a batshit crazy client and regret the fact that the guy has his personal information and cell number.

And you would be very pleased.

Maybe clueless is a little harsh but any escort who reveals much personal information on a first meeting is naive at best. People lie. People appear to be trustworthy and are not. People make promises that they do not fulfill. It takes more than a couple of meetings to really get a sense of a person. I believe trust needs to be earned -- not given out because you have a good feeling about someone on a first meeting.

I have always felt the same. You can't put a ton of weight on several positive reviews, but I think a total lack of reviews for someone who has been working that long is a yellow flag. It literally takes less than one minute to submit the review if you are a registered user. (Assuming you don't add a lot of comment that U.S people aren't allowed to see.) Not one single client was satisfied to take that one minute?

"Severe abuse" cannot possibly explain why there have been pedophiles since the Greco-Roman period and probably before that.

Hmmm. I like his ad copy so I'm rooting for him, but he's had a Rentmen account since 2012. No reviews in that entire time? Unusual but maybe he only makes the ad visible at certain times.

Wouldn't Google Voice separate everything and allow you to use a single device?

Difficult to Impossible. If it's iOS to iOS, you won't get a "delivered" message if you have been blocked, but that doesn't work if the escort is using an Android device or VoIP like Google Voice (which most of the smart escorts use.)

Once for me. He had no idea this site even existed and was horrified at the thought of being reviewed. He didn't care that it might improve his business. He felt it was a violation of his privacy. Coincidentally, or not, he didn't stay in the business for very long.

You can also send me a PM. He is a thoroughly charming and engaging young man who can truly do Mild to Wild. Not sure what else you need to know, but I liked him a lot and would be happy to help.

It really is tragic. Of course I believe there is no way that child abuse can be tolerated, but I also believe that we have no control over what we desire -- only how we act upon those desires. It gets all mixed up in my head because I come from a Mormon family with well-meaning sisters who wonder why I simply can't refrain from acting on my orientation. I thank the stars that I was not born with the monkey on my back that Mark had.

I have never had a problem with them getting so busy that we couldn't get together. They have always been flattered and/or appreciative of the fact that I took the time and care about their welfare -- especially the new guys that are trying to build a client base.

Not at all. It's one of the few really passive things that I enjoy. You do generally have to ask for it because most guys aren't going to just push you back and climb aboard, but I have never met a guy who gave me a blank stare or even batted an eye about it. It can't be uncommon.

Holy crap! Is there no end to your encyclopedic knowledge? Is there anything you miss? Are you talking about Marco? (aka Latin_guy) Because you're right... Guilty as charged. He wasn't getting enough reviews and the attention I felt he deserved. Anyone else I've forgotten about? I had to go back and check to make sure I hadn't done the same thing for KW. LOL

And yet... Every time I have done a first review on a new guy on Daddy's, they have told me it resulted in an immediate uptick in inquiries and resulted in actual hires. I agree that we are a microcosm, and that many of the guys who participate very actively in the Forum do little hiring, but the actual review gets more exposure and can be quite positive.

Rentmen or Daddy's? I guess it doesn't really matter. In either case, I personally wouldn't consider it a red flag. Could just mean he sees a lot of regulars. I know that I almost never go back and review a guy twice. It could also just mean that he's the type that never talks about reviews or gives any indication that he cares about them. I know that I am much more likely to do a review on a new guy in order to help him out. I don't feel that an experienced guy with plenty of reviews really needs that sort of assistance. Edited because SOMEONE pointed out that I had in fact reviewed a guy twice on Rentmen.

An unbelievably sexy young bottom has recently reignited the top in me. Getting him ready with tongue and fingers is at least half the fun. I love the look on his face when I enter. It's more of an "Oh my!"expression rather than an "Ouch! Go slow" expression. I always take satisfaction in that.

Just the fact that they had to create a euphemism to describe it shows how disgusting it is. Sweetbreads indeed!!!

Not if you take responsibility for yourself and follow the same safer sex protocols you have always used. People are living in a fantasy world if they honestly think that guys who advertise as "safe only" are necessarily doing the same in their personal life. PrEP has changed everything.

I can imagine. When a billionaire is still wearing flea market clothing, that goes way beyond being thrifty. He must have been a nightmare to work for and one can imagine what his social views were if he thinks new clothing is a wasteful luxury item.

He really did create something revolutionary. Simple clean lines, easy to assemble and affordable. Perfect for people on a budget or just starting out. I certainly wouldn't want a house full of Ikea furniture, but when I moved into a larger place and suddenly had another guest room to furnish, I popped into Ikea for the bedside tables and a TV stand. I thought I would just use them until I found something better, but 5 years later I still really like them. (Of course the room only gets used a few times a year so I have no idea how they would stand up to daily use.)

That's true. He could definitely hit the gym, but that face. Amazing!

Been there done that. Flew from Austin to Fort Lauderdale one weekend to meet someone I had been watching for quite a while. I never saw a bit of Fort Lauderdale, but the trip was worth every penny!
