Oral (and bodily) hygiene is essential for kissing. Personally, I make sure I've flossed after my last meal (but several hours before the session), then brush my teeth beforehand, then always leave mouthwash sitting around to refresh during the session. I always supply my guest with a complementary bottle of mouthwash to be careful. An ex once kissed me right after a meal without brushing his teeth, and my reaction wasn't very good 🤢

Yup. The last time random escorts started contacting me (with discounts) was when everyone got desperate at the start of the pandemic. I expect we'll see the same during this year's recession.

Too expensive in Chicago, but forgot his price tag.

I met a provider who took (unneeded) testosterone treatment to keep horny. I felt bad for him - I've never expected a provider to come, and such treatments will have side effects in the future.

Pretty much. You should only discuss hiring with friends who also hire (as I and several others here do). All the reasons here come into play. America's rather hypocritical attitudes towards sex work fuel people's jealousy. And with whole "woke" corporate attitudes nowadays, if your hiring becomes public, you'll probably be fired for PR reasons.... even as one of my former CEOs (married with kids) hires Latino boys whenever he can.

T I only have one friend I ever discussed it with. He's straight and hired women a lot in the past (and slept around in general, even while engaged), so it was pretty easy to talk about. The hardest part was that every so often, one of us would give the other TMI. However, he's since been married and had a kid, and he's been rather clear that talking about such things now would probably end our friendship. I can't blame him. So I appreciate this site and encourage others to join, as it's currently the only place I can talk about this hobby.

@Kevin Slater are the amounts in this chart adjusted for inflation?

I dont know about you, but if I pay my plumber, etc., in cash, I always get a discount.

I've met Asian gentlemen who would challenge this belief.

Some clients use Mr. Number too. Beware.

My philosophy as well. On the 1 or 2 occasions when the escort was respected enough for me to be willing to place a deposit, I prepared to get stood up, and praised them for honestly showing up.

Damnit I was going to hire him. Was a nice guy when we chatted.

I mentioned this in a different thread, but banks will often report withdrawals of amounts muuuch less than 10k. CYA.

I heard that RM messenger doesn't have enough cybersecurity. That's why I'd never set anything up via it.

The same "safety net" I was getting when job hunting and getting cancelled or useless job interviews: tough.

Yup. Broke up with a boyfriend for the same reason. Who knows what they're covering up with those obvious lies.

Maybe they need to join a forum so we can all exchange notes and advice...

Ditto for Chicago. Sorry, but he's not that attractive, and I've seem much better muscles.

This is why I always talk to providers about kissing before I hire. A RM said he was into kissing, but when I told him I was into that, he replied thus. Needless to say, no hire. Well my rates start at 300/hr….. and kissing donations are per kiss at 50/per or flat rate of 200/hr

I've had young idiots cancel last minute and say we could do a "raincheck." I block them and report them here if they come up.

If they're marked "Available," it can't hurt to ask. Although it helps if you're not spending the holiday with a bunch of family members. 😁

Ditto to most of these. I've met quite a few escorts who have a bachelor's degree. But while they technically had an "education," they were not what I'd call intellectually curious. In fact, most are indistinguishable from public HS grads. I've only met one escort who bested me in an intellectual conversation. To be fair, though, we were discussing philosophy, and he had a liberal arts education (and was a dedicated reader) while most of my education was in STEM. But we could discuss Hannah Arendt without bluffing. Likewise, I've met escorts who thought they were street smart, but turned out to be clueless suburban boys who didn't even know how to handle basic situations. They had no idea on how to talk to or bluff credibility with LE or security guards. However, as shallow as this sounds, I hire escorts for their bodies, and try to leave the intelligent conversation to my bfs. One always pays for what they can't get free.

The jury was probably thinking, "That dirty old man had it coming."

He sounds like a Hindu looking for a wife, not an escort from Mumbai.

The new system does shift more power towards clients willing to pay extra. As I mentioned in other threads, since that change, even my long term regulars (who have excellent reviews) are begging me for a review. I prefer RM over other sites simply because a provider who pays for an ad has more skin in the game (no pun intended) than if not. It's only fair clients are given the chance to put some skin in the game as well to indicate seriousness.
