DrownedBoy

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.

If you expect one escort to tag team you both, yes, a higher honorarium is common sense and justified. That is double the work. As I mentioned earlier, in case you don't have a proper partner, amateurs make the best third. They cost less but fill the gap.

I have to ask... Which provider decided to dump the site? I'm assuming they didn't give a reason, but we all know what it is.

Of course. I know bodybuilders charge more both because of the extra work put in, and the cost of maintaining their physique.

The "success" thread is so long I'm surprised they haven't locked it yet. I used it to contact 3 guys who seemed likely. Two of them ghosted right before we met, and the 3rd showed up. He comes almost every week now, at a rate lower than I'd find on RentMen. Of course, I don't look for anal sex, so that's a factor.

This may sounds weird, but a lot of providers I met initiate cuddling. Good marketing move. Endorphins help for rehire, and it makes some clients feel special.

Yeah, I hired Tonnetty. He was a good kisser and good at following instructions, but his English (or desire to talk) is pretty limited. I've been meaning to rehire him, but haven't had the free time.

I give them a less-than-five review and report them to RentMen, and will let everyone here know. If a provider agrees to stay a particular time for a specicified fee, and leaves early without offering compensation, they're a thief, and I'll treat them like a thief. Period.

Some of us are just as happy with a decent hamburger as with a steak, even if we can afford it.

It's a minus. While not a deciding factor, I definitely wouldn't hire a new provider who does that. Escorts with attitudes aren't my thing.

Just make sure you have protection when they visit. And I don't mean a condom.

I'd want an escort to have a head before I'd send a deposit...

Grindr has a "side" designation. I'm one so I'd hire one, but like Grindr, RM customers usually only have ass on their mind.

Yup, you should ask about each one. Especially the kissing, which escorts don't always provide.

In Japan, they actually have a "paid friend" industry. No sex, just someone to hang out with. https://theweek.com/articles/631927/inside-japans-booming-rentafriend-industry

They can. They just won't receive any extra social status from me, and a good chance at a snide remark.

You poor, poor man.

Yeah, enjoying bodybuilders is not a poor man's sport. Unfortunately, with many bodybuilders, it's also not a sport for people unwilling to put up with an attitude. YMMV, but it's also harder to find truly gay bodybuilders who are willing to do the full menu of options.

I agree with the above, but would add that some clients like showing off social status by being seen with guys out of their league.

I think many escorts (at least the older and savvier ones) have some kind of "loyalty" perks for regulars, but for obvious reasons neither provider nor client should or would talk about it. It's kinda tacky putting a "10% off" sticker on your ass, although I've seen some desperate ones do that.

Same thing happened to me - guy rolled a joint as soon as he came, insisted on smoking it on my balcony, and spent a good chunk of the session on his back on the floor (to clarify, that's not the position I wanted him in). A little sh!t. Drug use among providers is very very common - among bodybuilders, steroids and other juice are pretty much certain. I've only had three (the one above, a meth user, and a roid rager) where the drugs actually caused problems during a session.
