@CaptainPecs It’s definitely not “a massage parlour” or a place you’d go if you want a therapeutic massage. VG has been running for many years; it operates discreetly because it’s in a residential area. It seems always to have kept within the confines of the law in the UK. Consensual activities between 2 adults in private are lawful.

I thought @SirBIllybob was referring to the OP planning to hire a car in Portugal. Unless the OP also plans to keep the same car in Spain and then drive it back to Lisbon....

My guess @Quincy_7 is that English escorts may be more attuned to attracting and building a regular clientele. Foreign and visiting escorts may try to charge as much as possible because they only plan on working for a limited time. Definitely not so @keroscenefire. In fact, refugees and newly arrived economic migrants qualify for more generous social benefits than established, tax-paying citizens and residents. And the UK provides greater benefits than does Germany. In part, this generosity has caused anti-migrant sentiment..

@GregM, I think @Spursy is spot-on with his advice. I would not drive a car in either city. Think of Lisbon as a version of San Francisco in Europe. Uber is rather cheap in Portugal. In Spain, whether Uber will be available when you visit is debatable; there have been legal challenges and protests by taxi-drivers so the service in Barcelona was withdrawn. Nonetheless, using easy and cheap public transport from Madrid, you can get to many places with a combination of good train services and rapid buses.

Wow @Skip, necrophilia?! That’s a first for this forum, I think

There’s a lot of recent info in this thread already. As has been noted, the guys change very often. From someone I know who worked there, the one thing you will not get is “a rubdown with some oils” - it’s consensual activity between two adults.

Not unless he does a lot of catalogue work @tassojunior. Top male models earn very little; the real money spinner is being the face and body for a fragrance. But I guess his work as a personal trainer must bring him into contact with a lot of older male and female clients who will appreciate him.

Congratulations. I’m in very similar circumstances to you @Unicorn. I’ve been with my much younger man for over 5 years now. The advice from my lawyer was categoric: pay for him to get good legal advice separately from another lawyer, and get the agreement signed long before the actual wedding. This helps to make the agreement enforceable should things go wrong later. (My lawyer described cases where the agreement had not been followed in the courts because the poorer party did not have the benefit of separate legal advice, or where it had all been done in the lead-up to the wedding.)

Interesting. I knew his modeling work had really dried up but I didn’t think he’d be so overt about the need to supplement his income. I’d assumed he’d stay ‘under-the-radar’: possibly aspire to be a “$1000 an hour” companion or seek to be the boyfriend of another movie actor.

My definition of a millennial is a man as young as 18 upto and including a man aged 30. As a very approximate indicator, I’d say it’s any man who grew up as the Harry Potter books were published.

IMHO This is a bizarre thread. I recognize 2 of the men but no-one is wearing anything attractive. Speedos are one-piece so why aren’t they featured prominently?

As Julius Caesar didn’t say: I know, I met, I came.

I strongly agree with [uSER=19303]@europeanman[/uSER] and @Jeff Meuller Don’t be nervous @kaboom35 - approach the meeting as you would a promising first date and you’re likely to have a great time. Over many years, almost all my hirings were of non-reviewed guys. I reviewed some men but latterly many guys did not want a review or publicity. In that time, I had 1 bad experience and was let down 2x so the vast majority of my dates were excellent and thoroughly enjoyable. (FWIW the bad experience occurred early on when a guy demanded the cash upfront (and promptly forgot everything we’d agreed prior) and the ‘let downs’ were with 2 well-reviewed guys who were raved over in this forum).

I mean no offence @Smurof but wouldn’t this thread make more sense in the Traveling Members forum?

There are links/references to each in this thread @joethomas and Google Images will help your memory. The images of Olivier show him well, and obviously 15 years older than when he was working. The IG of Marco is still up and he is bearded in a lot of the pics; you just have to bear in mind that he was a good deal taller than Olivier.

I wonder @gilbert if that’s the same guy I know of. Are we both intrigued by a certain super man aka Henry?

@Mocha I mean this kindly. You do appreciate that posting on the internet is like trying to win an argument with strangers? It’s exceedingly rare that someone ever says “I was wrong and you are right”. FWIW My view is that you should do whatever you feel is right for you...but please do so without any pronouncements of what it is and why it’s right for you.

Knowing certain casting directors, my guess is that his award was a well-used ‘couch’ ;-)

Just an aside but I remember him fondly too. We had a date near his apartment in WeHo and he provided excellent full service. He wasn’t camera-shy at all.

Oh @jjkrkwood you are being provocative. You know how much Bryan hates being mentioned here because he is NOT gay! And your humour is rather dubious because he is a musical artist now. References to his past are not welcome. And did I mention that he is most definitely NOT gay?!

You are quite right @SirBIllybob. The impact of these very short-term rentals was quite severe in some areas (as was the often extreme behaviour of the renters). The move to restrict them by the current Mayor has proved very popular with locals.

Beautifully put @Epigonos. I could not have said it better.

Of the men mentioned earlier, I like Matt Bomer (met in person this Summer, surprisingly even better-looking in the flesh), Ryan Gosling and Ryan Reynolds (both exude charm), And I’m also partial to Jake Gyllenhaal. But I was shocked by Clive Owen (seen at a dinner party 2 years ago looking haggard and ugly, with terrible skin)

I was wrong @Deadlift1 someone can deny it! Anyway I enjoy the exchanges of opinions and views in this forum

Whatever one thinks of @Mocha’s thoughts and writings, no-one can deny that he provides a lot of entertaining stimulus to the forum
