I've never thought of this as a fetish, but that describes me perfectly. I always linked it in my mind with being somewhat on the sub side of things (to use another fetish/kink as an example). Part of why I enjoy escorting is because I genuinely like making others feel good, especially folks who are considered "less than" because they're not conventionally attractive, able bodied, or whatever.

I have not, but that's because I use the street address when asked for a home/physical address. You usually get a street address equivallent of your PO Box: e.g., for PO Box #123 located in a Post Office on 1000 Happystreet, San Francisco, CA, the street address would be 1000 Happystreet, Unit #123, San Francisco, CA 94000

A few more of the most common ways anyone, including providers and clients, can inadvertently let slip their real information have come to mind recently. They include:

Amazon's gift registry/wishlist
Any personal social media profile that has been linked to your alternate phone number
Use of a common username on bulletin board forums (like this one) and sites like Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook
Comments on Disqus using mixed personal/private info in the user account
Google+ Communities - Bulletin: There is nothing private about Google anything, folks!

Amazon is chief among them as far as making it difficult to protect one's private identity. The hoops they make customers jump through in order to set up a gifting address properly and associate it with their public and/or shared Wish Lists is ridiculous. Sites like pipl.com make short work of aggregating enough data points from all over the deep web to uncover identities not hidden with the strictest diligence.
 
Some advice I often give is to have separate email accounts for your separate identities, create separate phone numbers for each, and never, ever, ever mix up information from one identity with a profile, account, comment, delivery, etc. for another identity. That goes for website registrations in a computer browser as well as accounts and contacts on your phone(s). If possible, keep your secret identity on a separate device altogether, and use different browsers when operating as one vs. the other. I use Chrome for Hangry Starfish but Firefox for my real identity. I have a separate skype for each ID, use an old phone no longer attached to a provider for all of my Hangry Starfish communication via Wi-Fi and VoiP, Skype, Sideline, Telegram, and a few other apps for texting/calling that don't always require an active phone number.

Cool, it is nice to see we are going to have a crowded and diverse entertainers cast. I wish me had more chocolate, besides our amazing @AndreFuture . I was going to bring some but he dropped out.

Yep. Haven't finalized my plans yet, but I'll probably be at Canyon Club again. Text, email, forum message, Rentmen, phone, messenger pigeon, are all ways you can contact me if you're interested in getting together.

I appreciate you all sharing your memories of your first Pride parades—some of which were among the first ever. I'm far too young to have been part of that history, so I really enjoy hearing about it from folks who lived it and paved the way for us young queers today.
 
Yet, even I'm a bit turned off at how capitalistic Pride parades have become: "Sponsored by Bacardi" (When we suffer such high alcoholism rates), "Brought To You By Marriott", etc. On the one hand, it's nice that we've gone from being loathed by society to being courted by the highest bidder and used to score "progressive points" by corporations. On the other hand, I'm a bit disappointed that we've moved from liberation to "equality" in a system that's inherently anti-LGBTQ.

I suppose it's merely a notion for guys who haven't experienced it yet

I didn't fully convey my thoughts on this:
 
The use of SW as a synonym for prostitution is often at the exlcusion of acknowledging SW is a broad umbrella and descriptive of a host of other professions that are not prostitution (as was previously mentioned). At least, that's what I've come across.
 
With the example I gave, it would be like someone using "automobile" to talk about their car, but insisting a truck and bus are not automobiles. Admittedly, humor is often context and culture dependent, but I personally find that amusing.

It’s 2018 and there’s lots of new Forum members since the above was posted.
 
A gentle reminder to be mindful of opportunities to support the community.

As a client, I wouldn't want to take the time for a meet and greet. And I wouldn't want to waste the escort's time. Years ago, when I was still in the labor market, if I was looking for a job, and a potential employer called to schedule an interview, I would always ask "Will I be meeting with the hiring authority?" If HR just wanted to talk to me for a screening interview, I would try to get them to agree to a telephone interview. If they wouldn't go for the phone interview, I would go in if I thought I really wanted the job. But if it was iffy, I just thanked them for their interest and told them that I didn't have time for an in-person screening interview.

By all means... please DO verify! Are you suggesting that there’s no way to verify an escort besides asking him to provide his companionship service for FREE?!
 
There are tons of ways to verify me, and all of them involve my potential clients taking the time to research me before booking. NONE of them involve me disrupting my life to provide free companionship services in order to convince someone that I’d be fun to fuck.

I agree. I don't need a meet and greet to determine interest. Also, when meeting if the guy isn't who he purports to be in his ad, I don't feel wrong in turning around and walking away without paying anything. Why should I hand over money to someone who places an obviously false ad? I'm not talking about a subtle difference like maybe he's a bit less toned than the photos in his ad, but if the photos aren't even of the same person or if they are obviously from more than a decade ago, I don't feel obligated to pay the guy for his time in preparing for an appointment that didn't happen. If anything, he should pay me for wasting my time since he is the cause of the failure to complete the agreement.

Who doesn’t LOVE being invited to work for free??!

Dunno if I’m your type @Batch79, but I have been specialising in introducing my clients to prostate stimulation and anal orgasms for more than 5 years. I am quite an expert and feel confident that I can help anyone who is after this experience to find what they’re looking for. Not always on the first attempt, but usually that’s because people are over-thinking it, nervous about anal penetration, or otherwise not in the right frame of mind. My success rate is very high and my clients rave about the experience I give when introducing them to it. All my reviews are from pre-transition and thus the “juicy details” are behind a paywall on TER, but almost every single one of my reviews from the last 3-4 years discusses my talent with prostate stimulation and the resulting out-of-this-world orgasms that ensue. (See my signature for the link to those.)
 
An anal orgasm is a much more full-bodied, intense, and longer-lasting surge as compared to a penile orgasm. It’s not uncommon for guys to lose control of their legs, lose the ability to form sentences, etc when/for a few minutes after having an orgasm. Basically a penile ejaculation is a bottle rocket in comparison to this diesel-engined monstor truck. The journey toward a prostate orgasm sometimes feels too intense to even handle psychologically- tho there should be no pain involved, guys often describe is as being TOO MUCH PLEASURE TO HANDLE (omg it’s so intense, can’t believe how intense...); some people welcome the roller coaster ride and some just aren’t ready for it. (This is one of the reasons I mention some people being undermined by their own psychological blocks.)
 
But most people can adjust to the newness of the intensity within a few minutes and joyride thru the mind-blowing pleasure levels from the extended prostate stroking. I love to combine the prostate stimulation with an extraordinary tease of blowjob... the tip of the cock has these nerves that connect back to the prostate and the combination is pure bliss...
 
One thing I love about giving prostate orgasms is that I as the stimulator am in total control of when the orgasm occurs. So I can really tease someone and draw the pleasure out, tho many people also tell me in no uncertain terms when they are ready for the earthquake to roll its way through their body, and I’m inclined to oblige. But it’s really fun to pull the trigger myself. The prostate is the body’s control center for orgasms- once it’s being stimulated, the cock loses its relevancy in being the cause of orgasm. Something a lot of bottoms probably already know, but a new experience for a lot of tops.
 
Prostate stimulation and anal orgasms are accessible even to most people who struggle with bottoming, because something as small as a single finger can provide enough stimulation to give an earth-shattering prostate orgasm. Size and length are not the key to this puzzle, but rather curvature. A curved dick, a curved finger, a curved toy: anything curved can hit the right spot, but a straight object is unlikely to do the trick. (Depends on internal body shape and position too I suppose.) The prostate is located just a few inches inside the body, so there’s no need to plunge that deep either.
 
My favourite toy for prostate stimulation (and by far the biggest crowd pleaser among my clients and especially my repeat clients) is the njoy “pure wand”. It’s perfectly curved for giving anal orgasms and feels so smooth and warm inside the body that it actually feels way more natural than you would expect considering it’s made of surgical-grade steel...

I’m a big fan of sluts and like hearing stories about any/all of my sexual partners other escapades! When the line is crossed into negative gossip, I get very uncomfortable and I think it reflects badly on the client more than anything. Likewise with sharing intimate details that might best remain private. I love hearing that you fucked your last hire in the washroom of an Amtrak train on your way down to D.C.! I don’t need to know his real name, his medical conditions, or any other personal details that he might have shared with you in confidence. Likewise, I don’t need to hear if he asked you to bareback him and you were shocked and decided not to hire him again even though the hookup was awesome. You may be looking for someone to share the story with and expect a sympathetic ear from me, but pretty much any time the conversation crosses into negative-gossip it becomes over-sharing to me.

As in a lot of things... it depends on the person. There are two escorts I've met who like to hear about my sexual exploits, be it with a man, woman, escort, or friend with benefits. I don't give names, but I will tell them about specific situations. It seems to turn them on. They both have asked particular questions about what I've done more so than with whom.
 
All the rest have never asked or don't seem to care.
 
I think the only problem you might run into is if you somehow compare the escort you are with, with another escort you've seen. Just because they may be exceptionally hot doesn't mean they don't have the same esteem issues you or anyone else has.
 
Ultimately, I say unless they directly ask... I personally wouldn't bring it up.

I guessed Bring Your Own Enema.

Dear escorts, if you are planning a trip to Hawaii be extremely cautious. I have been asked for discretion and cannot share the full information, but I do know the local police is running sting operations and prosecuting professionals. Be careful.
