I am trying, without success, to remember the first time I was rimmed. I remember the first time I rimmed someone, it was the same time I was topped for the first time. I was amazed, I thought it would be disgusting, but ... it wasn't.

Rimming is the best, getting rimmed is the “bestest”.

Ok, not that I am a Felix Unger type, but seriously guys, if you are in the personal service industry, don't be slobs, and don't be dirty. Believe it or not, some of us do care about when we need to go to the bathroom, we will not need a hep shot. I have walked into even hotel rooms that look like room service has not been there in a week, or apartments that oviously the cleaning staff went on strike..... last flipping year.... yo mama don't live here. No one is expecting it to be Operating Room clean or even military white glove inspection ready, but seriously dudes.... clean up your crap!

It has amazed me over the years here how people feel their own personal tastes are better than the personal taste that some else has. We should welcome the wide diversity in men who are available even if some of them are just not a match for us. I fail to see the need to complain about those who do not meet our own taste. Would you go into Baskin Robins and loudly, publicly knock the 5 or 6 flavors you do not enjoy rather than concentrate on those you do like?
 
We need to give each other space as to the men we especially enjoy and those we do not. We should try to keep it positive. We should think of the feelings of others and if a negative comment is not necessary, then just skip it.

OK, saw Fabio last night. He's very built and very genuine. It wasn't a muscle worship session -- not my thing -- but I think he'd be great for that. Nice combination of masculine, friendly engaging, straightforward, sexy and ready to deliver. He's boyishly handsome, very built, the biggest person I've ever been with, which was a learning experience for me. I hired him as a bottom, and it just didn't work that well because of his bulk LOL. But we adjusted and still had a good experience.
 
Hope this post isn't too close to a review. I'll do that too, but wanted to meet the demand for real time info here.
 
As for the accent, his English is challenged, very thick accent, though he tries very hard in that eager to connect way that a lot of Italians have. I really had to slow down my speaking cadence for him to understand me. I don't think the cute speech patterns are put on.
 
If you see him in Chicago, beware that he made a misstep in booking an Air BNB in the Pilsen neighborhood, which is off the beaten path. Hadn't been down there in years. His trip bridged from the Chicago Marathon to the Cubs playoffs, and the city is packed. He could 't find anything else affordable so ended up in a kind of dump, with entrance through an alley. Clean though. He told me that in Europe most people prefer to meet in flats rather than hotel rooms.
 
Hope this helps. Ciao.

As with most clothing optional locales, the guys who you wish would opt in, frequently opt out. Still and all, I almost got poked in the eye on a few occasions.

I remember when reviews on Masseurfinder would occasionally have a review from a staff member of Masseurfinder. Don't see them anymore, but my impression was the reviewer walked in as any other client, and paid the going rate.
 

 
I prefer the term "stink eye"

JAYCEEKY -- To bad you did not stick around to be part of the renaissance - I moved back to Philly from Florida in the mid-90's and Mayor Rendell was turning the City around including openly supporting the Gayborhood and the Gay community and asking us publicly to keep our homes and businesses here and promising us a seat at the table and a voice at the table as the City revitalized and laws to protect our rights - and he kept his word. And when he ran successfully for Governor he bragged about his support for the LGBT Community in places referred to as Pennsyiltucky. and told those voters I will work for your community just like I did for that community and keep my word to you just as I did to communities in Philly. He won in two consecutive landslides.
 
In addition to my full-time job I remodeled and renovated multi-unit homes and commercial space in different Center City neighborhoods and continued to do so until 2015 when my health restricted my activities. As such I have a lot of experience with HUD/PFHA/Philly L&I/Housing Authority/Neighborhood Associations and the Zoning Board.
 
And WILLIAMM if you have specific questions about admission to Anderson House I suggest you contact them directly -- I included the link
 
I have friends from NYC and SF and Florida who were original founders and workers in the LGBT movement who were living in squalor having been priced out of the neighborhoods they helped make possible --- who are now living in the Anderson House Apartments with the quality, dignity and respect they and we all deserve.
 
Some of the other tenants only came out after they moved in - being free of fear of losing jobs/family/etc for the first time in their lives.
 
Their are excellent articles in The New York Times and The Philadelphia Gay News archives on the original tenants.

Until you said this, You could have been talking about Chicago. I live in a condo in a close in suburb, with easy access to the city via the train, and more and more, when I walk through my parking garage, I see more and more Chicago city stickers on cars (just another tax we all pay, not limited to Chicago, but Chicago's "car" tax is in the hundreds, ours just went up to a little less than $50). I seriously considered a move into the city, but a recently passed property tax hike in Chicago, made me think I'll stay put.

Ruth Reichl has a few wonderful anecdotes about this in one of her books. The lengths she would go to to not be discovered, the disparate treatment received when she was.

I get about a solicitation a week by some wannabe site claiming they're going to be the new game in town. Then they disappear. The only reason we're even discussing this one is because they co-opted the rentboy name and font.
 
I'd be thrilled for a new entrant to break up the one-site dynamic that we have right now, but I'd rather move in the direction of being less shady, not more.

Ditto for this. Otherwise it's exploitation, pure and simple.

Well, that is just as wrong. It should have been a 1 hour paid massage.

I imagine they would insist for in-person if the escort is their type, but insist that Skype is good enough if he isn’t.

Still giving the "tryout" idea the sideeye.

Wow!
This is basically a bunch of guys who want free sex and found a way to get it.
 
Everyone should pay the advertised price. No freebies against a “good review” or something like this, that is not fair to our beloved escorts. This also means that that “trusted comment” is meaningless.
 
I now hope this site fails.

Out of curiosity, I created a profile. Very sparsely populated, but it is a new site and I noticed one familiar face from the area.
 
However, there is an additional red flag that I don't believe has been discussed. Escorts have two options for additional verification....
1. Approve by Skype - (that seems reasonable enough)
Or
2. Approve by Meeting - "give a FREE sample session to our representative to get his trusted comment in your profile" --- this is setting off all sorts of alarms for me personally.

"Personal trainer" or "life coach" .... depends on the mood.

Me too. I'm one year younger than one of my current favorite's father. It makes the, "How did you guys meet?" question very difficult to answer.

LOL...that's becoming more and more common for me.

Last two guys I've met, one for only the 2nd time, the other several times, have been very generous with their time and have gone over the hour. Makes me feel I'm more than just a client, and they want to spend time with me.
