You write well @former lurker. I like your observation that suggests being “modern” implies both “diminished attention spans and...thirst” ;-)

That’s wonderful to hear @FilmGeek. FWIW your good experiences match my own. May I ask where you’re based? To answer your original question, I don’t think escorts set their rates with regard to what’s available on Seeking. They operate in a very different market. I so agree @Keith30309. Too many people equate price with quality. And there are many hot, enthusiastic amateurs.

Why not here @Coolwave35 ? This thread is about “seeking” and you seem to have had success. I’d be glad to read about all the ‘antics’, either here or in a PM to me ;-)

Yes @ericwinters. See my first reply above ;-)

You may get two different answers @CuriousByNature but for me, I rate highly the emphasis on missionary work, help to the poor and needy, personal piety and music.

Me too

Very interesting link @Antonio1981. Thank you.

There’s an interesting article in the local newspaper today on ‘Sugar Daddies’ and ‘Sugar Babies’, describing it as “camouflaged prostitution“ For those that read Spanish, here’s the link https://www.diariodemallorca.es/mallorca/2020/02/23/sugardating-prostitucion-camuflada/1488659.html For those who don’t read Spanish, in summary a group formed to study prostitution in the Balearic Islands found that 1. some 100,000 adult men in Spain overall had registered online as Sugar Daddies while 2. almost 400,000 young women in Spain were seeking to be Sugar Babies 3. between 200 and 300 underage girls and boys were thought to be involved in the Balearic Islands 4. there was no estimate of the number of young adult men in Spain wanting to be Sugar Babies, though they had found there were numerous male university students in Ibiza (still living at home with their parents) seeking Sugar Daddies

it certainly was in the late 1970s/1980s. A Marine Corps base with a gay bar just outside its gates, a large number of transient visitors and many handsome young beach-goers and surfers meant there was an ever-changing population of hot and horny young men. I had many dates and never met a working guy. Of course, it helped that I was fit, young and goodlooking then. Times have changed...

Start by joining PlanetRomeo where several of these guys have profiles, and contact those who interest you. The same goes for Instagram where many BelAmi guys maintain profiles (but ensure you message them privately).

I’m certain that is absolutely correct @keroscenefire That is very nice indeed of you. I hope the guys you date appreciate you.

Maybe I missed some detail but the photo caption talked of the Taliban bombing his family. Perhaps the injuries were acquired then. Certainly I’ve been in the Summer in Berlin and the Tiergarten but seen nothing of this. Berliners are quite pragmatic, and I had been warned by some Germans of foreign men having sex in public parks at night.

That’s a good rule @lonely_john. When I hired, I sent a polite email with all my info to enquire about availability. With the 2nd email, I checked that we were compatible (if it had not been clear in his first reply) and booked....and I always asked how and when he wanted me to confirm as I usually booked in advance. Being prolix or sending several vague messages makes it seem as if you are not serious about meeting. That said, I hired a lovely guy in LA who asked me to phone him from Europe just so we could “get to know each other“. I did so and called him 2x more in the 3 weeks before I visited LA. The date went very well indeed.

I wish you good luck @bdmarkny. Hot young guys may be fewer than you expect. I was there on vacation a couple of years ago, and the only hot muscleboys I met were visiting Aussie male models. There is however some eye-candy at Blacks Beach; I met a very fit guy there who, tho str8, was extremely gay-friendly.

When dating men, my rule-of-thumb for working and non-working guys has always been that if, after a date, they ASK for “something extra”, I smile and say No. When I’ve had a great date after dinner with a man and I want to see him again, I take him out for breakfast. If he insists on paying for breakfast, I OFFER to do “something extra” for him when we next spend time together.

I guess that this shows just not only how costly it is to put on a play on Broadway but also how tough it is to make a profit on a drama, no matter how garlanded with praise and good reviews.

I take it to mean they’re looking for “the one” or “Mr Right”, and it implies a high-level man who will be their ‘rock’.

As a client, I would smile and say ‘Suck me off and drain my balls dry”

I feel @maninsoma and @RJD have made some very good points. I also feel that many people underestimate how much money a very handsome guy could in the recent past earn as a conventional escort. In 2010 I had a year-long affair with a beautifully ripped 23 year old in LA, who went on to be an Abercrombie model and a fashion cover-guy. We’d first met when he was a provider with a small (no face pics) profile/advert, but after 3 paid overnight dates in a week he took me to dinner and told me he wanted me to be with him. I commuted to LA each month and stayed for a week with him in his condo. He didn’t charge me but I picked up all the bills (restaurants, concerts, long weekend trips etc). He was handsome, medium height, 4% body fat, versatile sexually; he liked to top but he was a wild bottom for me. Now the point of all the above detail. He wanted my advice, so he discussed his finances with me in detail. He had overall monthly costs of $6000 (mortgage on his condo, tuition, gym and personal living expenses) so he ran an advert (then Rentboy) when he was short of cash. When he’d made $6000, he took his advert offline and didn’t answer any work-calls. I know for a fact that he often took his ad offline within a week, ie he earned $6000 in a week! Also, he generally saw clients only once as he didn’t want guys to know much about him; he told me I was the first guy ever to live with him.

i enjoy getting massage regularly, especially from a fit young man like MasseurBrazil. May I ask @Dirks if he is skilled therapeutically? And just how ready is he to get naked, frisky and have fun during the massage?

Of the two men I mentioned above, 1 is quite savvy: he puts out new content regularly, and at intervals he responds to his fans. He told me he’s pulling in more than $20,000 a month.

Very well put @Keith30309 I know separately 2 Englishmen (goodlooking, muscled 20s). Each likes being admired by other men, neither defines as gay and for each, their intellect is not their greatest asset. Both have great physiques and are not shy about posing in brief underwear. I know one did monetise his physique before OF and I’m told the other has toyed with the idea. Now each earns a remarkable amount monthly from their OF accounts, seemingly tax-free. Regular employment for these guys would probably be as gym trainers or waiters; both jobs would demand longer hours and regular attendance at work for much less money. I can see the allure of OF for the content-providers. I’m mystified as to why guys subscribe, but then I‘m mystified by guys spending time and money chatting on webcams. I’ve zero interest in masturbation; I’ve always preferred to engage with a person in real-life.

Intriguing email @Keith30309. 1. I’d never heard of WhatsYourPrice.com but I’m glad they signed off with “Warm Regards” to you. 2. They accuse you of “soliciting sex...for compensation” - the site wants ”generous members” who solicit dates for compensation. 3. Such “generous members” only pay “for that first date”. I’d like to know how the website polices all these first dates, which obviously are entirely platonic, and ensures that all further dates are not ‘compensated’ in any way. Truly, heterosexual men (aka generous members) lead strange lives meeting “out of your league” women (aka attractive members) who “get reimbursed for the time and effort (preparing) for the date”. Perhaps as a gay man and only a top, I should now think of reimbursing all my ex-boyfriends and former lovers for all the time they spent douching to be ready for our ‘first dates’ ;-)

Woof! Perfect except for too much clothing.

Isn’t this the very occasion @dcman when you wish your phone had a camera?
