Oh believe me it was much "worse" in the days of email where the same thing would sometimes happen, but the back and forth responses were in full, long, sentences. I have emails from potential clients 20 years ago that were pages long, and so were my responses, and the responses to those response, ad nauseam.

I'm sorry, I don't think I understand what you're saying. In 1999, $800 bought, on the whole/hole, 4 hours with an escort. In 2020, $800 is 4 hours with an escort, on the hole/whole. How is client money going less far these days?

I lost track of who mentioned it, but on the subject of escorts raising their hackles when clients just want to ask questions and clarify, I get it. It makes sense that you want to be on the same page before meeting. Think about this: In 1999, an escort (anyone), with decent hunting skills could land a studio in Chelsea for $900, a 1-bedroom in West Hollywood for $800, or a place in The Castro for about $900. Hourly escort rates then were the same as they are now, with the exception of 24-hour appointments which have only increased by a few hundred dollars. In those days, one 48 hour appointment would pay my rent for two months, my car payment, and my car insurance. Everything else the rest of the month was gravy. And so, if I received a long email (remember email?) from a potential client, my time was free and taking the time to respond in kind was no big deal. Escorts today can't pay their rent until they've had 13 hourly appointments. 13! When I was young, I could pay my rent with 4 appointments. And so the frustration of going back and forth in messenger may, subconsciously, arise out of a frustration with the work involved versus the payback. This doesn't mean your questions aren't reasonable, it also doesn't mean that we are living in 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 or 2003 where escorts could earn a living wage and then spend the rest of the week snowboarding.

Oh I just thought of what we can call a bad client. Years ago I had an hour appointment at my place. Then at the end he takes out a checkbook. Of course I said, "No". He said, but my wallet is at the hotel, The Mondrian where I'd called him earlier. I asked him to just leave an envelope at the front desk for me. I called him that night and he said he had. Two days later a friend and I had Duck Tacos (I miss those) at Asia de Cuba, I went to the front desk afterward. Of course there was no envelope. This was so predictable and cliche, I just blew it off. But it does suggest that if I do give it more thought, I can come up with some bad ones. p.s. Of course the only phone number i Had for the guy was his number when he'd been staying at the hote.

So weird. I hear that this is a big problem, but Knock Wood, it hasn't been for me.

Post the link once it's up please

Sounds as if your Escort from SA is having a very hard time. I never found that overnights were more likely to involve drugs. I did find, in my younger days of escorting, that the 2, 3, and 4am clients were the most likely, but not necessarily most likely (if that makes sense?) to be using. It never bothered me, I just said no thank you. I suppose if one of them had been so out of his mind that I felt I, or he, was in danger or was using drastically bad judgment, I would have walked out. But nothing got nearly that bad, or bad at all. After all, if someone were using drugs and calling an escort in the last hours of the night, I'd rather they see me, someone who is safe, trustworthy, and compassionate,, than someone else; or that was my thinking back then. I'm starting to think I've had a lot of good luck. Or I'm flexible. Or I have healthy skepticism. Who can say. @keroscenefire, Back to your South American friend. The clients who have been nice to him, like you, has he especially enjoyed being with them, is this something he would like to continue to do if he could reduce the number of "bad" clients? If so, perhaps some of those escorts here who are more familiar with online screening methods, I'm clueless, could help. Best of luck to him.

Well, the RM reviews are more explicit than Daddy allows. Of course to see those explicit reviews, you need to route RM through a (german?) proxy, which isn't convenient. Obviously, MER reviews are very explicit, but that site is more of a social site than especially useful review site. Long ago Aaron Lawrence said to Hooboy, as Hoo was building this site, that a site should not both charge escorts and have escort reviews, it creates a conflict of interest; smart kid. RM is doing both now, it's not ideal. So, Daddy's is both ethical and fair, because we don't pay. Unfortunately, Daddy's is not explicit. I don't mind that, in fact it's probably keeps escorts safer from prosecution. However, explicit reviews are more helpful for clients, I believe. As I said, MER is very explicit, but also very incomplete.

Looks like a sweetheart. I can imagine he's me 20+ years ago, had I stayed in Minnesota.

Fast and furious is the only way I can give up the ghost, and even then, as those who know me, it's a long journey. Taking it slow, no go. I look at envy at guys who can come easily, it's never been that way for me.

My Tumblr app is getting jealous of my TikTok. To address the original concern, you have to make TikTok conform to you, don't try to do the opposite. If I followed what was popular on TT, I would have stopped using it pretty quickly. But, with a little help from me (by help I mean hitting like at the right times) TT has learned that I love Snowboarding Videos, Rock climbing videos, all wildlife videos, exotic destination videos, etc. And, that's basically all it shows me now. If you like opera, or videos of people getting hit in the nuts, search for those, "like" them, "favorite" them, "follow" them, and you will quickly, very quickly, have the TikTok that's right for you. But as far as what's "trending" on TikTok? It's 90% young people self-absorbed crap. So, you're not wrong @Reisr30. And believe me, I'm right there with you. 95% of the time, I don't get "Memes". All I get is annoyed that what we now call memes aren't memes at all.

I often do an hour of each, massage followed by escort. But often times they are separated. I started escorting back in '99 and incorporated massage around 2005. Yes, I would have to say that it was to cast a wider net.

I totally agree with you. Drug-resistant Chlamydia, Gonorrhea and Syphilis don't get near as much press as they did 10 years ago. Herpes and Warts would also suck.

Ok, I've watched this video fifteen times tonight. Why have you done this to me, given me something so beautiful it's going to haunt me for days. Whenever I find something this beautiful I have a hard time getting any sleep, because it will not leave my thoughts. Still, I can't be mad at you. Damn you. I like him in many movies like Lady Macbeth (I haven't seen Peaky Blinders), but I must admit, I didn't know he was a musician. I'm really bad with pop culture. "I hope they didn't tie up, your hands as tight as mine." WOW. Anyway, this is fucking great. I guess it's happy? Definitely moved my heart. Thank you for posting it. Otherwise, I would have never known of it. p.s. Here's the extended version, also great: Now I have to go listen for the sixteenth time.

And if a masseur is both serious and enamored of the extras?

But let me also say this, escorts do not have a forum of their own to complain and vent. Complaining and venting, and even exaggerating those complaints, is a healthy thing and unfortunately, when they do it here they are doing it in a place where it can come back to bite them in the ass. If you then ask, "well then, asshole, why don't you all make an escort-only forum?" I would respond, "do your research. It's been done, and it did NOT go well."

What a great video. Thank you for posting it.

Goddam is he a brilliant actor.

Good on your for mentioning Jake Walker. I think much of the shit he got on this forum in the more recent years was unfair. He escorted in a time before Steve Kessler and Dane Scott and now myself (in 2.5 years) made it "ok" to be an escort in your 50s, much less your 40s. Most, of the criticism thrown at him in the later years was about his age. Now, just a few years later, that's not something that is "ok" to pile on about an escort about. At least not publicly, you can still hate us old fart escorts privately People forgot, most likely chose to forget, that Jake Walker was one of the original good guy, globe-trotting, escorts of the '90s and 00s, that he treated clients well, and was smarter, way smarter, than pretty much anyone else, which in and of itself is sexy as hell. And Vincezo. Man, one of my life's biggest sexual regrets was bowing out on a threesome with him and a client/friend of mine because Vincenzo was so beautiful I just felt too intimidated. IDIOT!!!! Damn. Always do, never "don't do".

I didn't make the list. It's ok, I'm used to it (no, I'm not. I'll never be used to it. Some advise, don't become an escort if you crave (online) adulation, you'll be frustrated every time you log on.)

I have 21.5 years of escorting under my belt (ha ha), so I know whereof I speak: I can count on one hand with one or two fingers left over, which can be useful , the number of bad clients I’ve been with. And, in those few cases, “bad” is minor, for example one guy was hungover and kept leaving the massage table for the toilet to puke. Not ideal, but not the end of the world. Some clarifications, sweat is not unhygienic. Sweat does not smell (google it). Sweat is something that happens to some people, it is not something they are doing on purpose. If you find sweat disgusting that’s you, it’s not an objective truth, and whoever it is who is sweating is not doing it purposely to offend you. Another clarification, the body odor that happens to some people in the hours between their daily showers is not objectively disgusting, it’s something that happens and it is not something they are doing to you, to hurt you. It’s unfortunate that the discussion about obese men and hygiene became so heated. In my sexual life, I’ve been intimate with more than a dozen men over 400 pounds. Maybe two dozen. 98% of these men were fully hygienic for the same reason men who are not severely obese keep themselves clean: they want to be. I will say that, although I have been blown away by the flexibility of some of my severely obese partners (legs over their shoulders when I’m fucking them ) it is usually harder for men living with severe obesity to move around. Add to that the knee injury, or what have you, and those men do the best job they can to clean up. I’ve found that older men in wheelchairs, or otherwise impaired significantly, are sometimes in a similar situation. Those men need to be approached by their sexual partners with compassion. Long way ‘round saying “bad” client does not mean obese client, and obese client does not mean unhygienic client. Ok, I'm done

Great photos. He's done an excellent job of putting on muscle while keeping his waist quite narrow; that is not easy. Good for him.

YUM!

As someone with an average sized dick, I'm very very glad to hear that

Drove down to Laguna recently to swim at my favorite spot below Montage and maybe have breakfast there afterward. No No No. I couldn't make it to the beach, much less the water, through the throngs of people not wearing masks. Got back in my car and drove home. The OC is NOT LA, I sometimes forget.
