I could care less what the shooter or his idiotic religion think.

The Japanese have you guys beat. They know how to weaponize politeness.

That's who asks me, dumb kids who don't know the business. It's a deal breaker for me, although I keep some snapshots of Grant and Franklin from their respective bills on my phone if anyone asks.

Weird. I once almost hired a famous porn star for 800 an hour. He played around, delayed, said he was busy, then suggested a fair price of 900. I ghosted him. I can afford the money, but I can't stand giving it to arrogant bastards who are economically worthless except for their sexual attraction.

When I was in downstate Illinois, and was approached by a woman who asked if I was saved, I just flipped out my gold crucifix and said I was. That shut them up. My personal favorite theological moment was when an escort complained that another client had shorted him. I agreed that was wrong, and quoted, "The workman deserves his wages." Biblical literacy can be very fun.

I once had a regular who was a SJW and hooked it up to his Christianity, and was always blabbing about how his religion should compel everyone to think the way he did. We got into frequent theological arguments.

On the contrary - ads don't list tongue length, so I find that a wonderful evaluation opportunity.

Yeah we do. Annually. We also used to have to take all kinds of classes on diversity and such, and a DEI manager in HR. For some unknown reason, after January 2025, that guy left, and our CEO claimed we don't have a DEI program and never did....

That's the problem with these maps. Illinois is an entirely red state except for the Chicago area. I've worked in Southern Illinois and it was totally conservative, with a majority of fundamentalist churches. It's amazing. In rural Wisconsin, it's the same, but the moment you get to even a small town, red turns to blue. Guess living with different people forces empathy.

You hit it there - there are members (one already named) who feel no part of any community, and make homophobic-leaning remarks all the time. Nothing sadder.

It happens. "Kissing." Often translates to, "I'll only do dry kisses," or, "I only kiss if it feels right in the situation." Even if they say they're into something, probe with further questions first.

That would be freaky, borderline stalking. I have a regular who texts when he's near me and offers me a deal if I agree to meet him "right away," but that's the closest. If he came to the door, I'd say he was trying to intimidate me into hiring him.

Yes, there are more escorts in Chicago for Market Days. Yes, it's hotter than hell outside right now, and we could barely visit several stages yesterday before several people wanted to leave. And no, my favorite travelling provider who said he'd visit Chicago on Market Days couldn't make it.

In those situations, you need to steer them and the conversation back to what you hired him for. If he doesn't stop, you'll need to be a bit blunt, but do it nicely. Another note, which works if he's being honest - it pays dividends if you spend some time listening to what a provider complains about, nod, agree, and say it's not his fault. If an escort wants to talk about themselves, let them take center stage, and they'll love you for it.

I get the question, but when I was younger, I didn't know much about online providers, nor did I need to look them up. The closest I can think of is an Eastern European twink who was a popular porn star in movies my friends and I watched in college. If I could go back in time with the same libido I had when I entered puberty, I'd probably rent all the New Kids on the Block and the entire male cast of Baywatch. Toss in Mario Lopez too. EDIT: There is a now-retired escort (retired less than 5 years ago). Ugandan. He's an influencer now, but no longer meets up. I'd hire him up as a "personal trainer" and set him up in a nearby condo....

No - but it's a series of roleplaying scenarios, some normal (EDIT by BDSM standards), some that disturb people. I mentioned breath-control in a different post, and that's one of many unrelated examples. Not everyone is comfortable with shoving your head underwater in your bathtub.

This right here. After my first couple boyfriends (even the BDSM one) clearly freaked about my scene, I decided to seperate the fantasy from the dating.

He wouldn't be the first manic-depressive escort I met.

Does anyone have advice on the best apps to use in Northern Italy? I'll be in Genoa this fall. I know "Sleepyboy" is used in the UK, but not sure about the contingent, and RentMen listings for that area are scanty. Also, any idea of a fair price there? Or are Americans so obvious and hated in Europe now?

"The zoo said it accepts donated rabbits, guinea pigs and chickens on weekdays between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m., but no more than four at a time. "It also accepts horses for feeding its animals, which it says on its website are euthanized by a zookeeper and a veterinarian.' Whoever wrote this story was either laughing or crying putting this into public service announcement language.

He recently changed his name. https://www.companyofmen.org/topic/109057-411-juliano_nyc/

I just clicked the link here, blocked him on RentMen, and made the note, "Boycott by CoM." No need to think about it. Out of sight, out of mind.

I'm reading "Dame of Stark" by Sibyl Hathaway. This old woman used an obsolete title and acting skills to control a Nazi occupation, and eventually ended up in direct command of 250+ Nazi soldiers, some of whom she sent to their death. I'm sure Goffman would have had something to say about that.

I prefer to think of it as a "hookup upgrade."

Latest polls show that 1 in 3 Americans now believe being gay is immoral. That's up from 1 in 4 just five years ago. I won't mention the political situation. Things are moving backwards. And few of us are willing to use a wife and kids as camouflage.
