Also make sure you book enough time.
 
It’s hard to have your first time AND feel comfortable in 60 minutes in most instances, from both perspectives, even if you think it may be.
 
Just make sure you have enough time.

What @Shawn Monroe said ... The reason an escort makes any choice about where to post travel plans is to make sure that people get it. As someone who travels, I post my travel plans here, on my calendar on my site, and on my RM ad. Despite all of that, I get requests from people trying to see me “tonight” when I’m not in that city for another week, or four days after I leave the city. I also get periodic requests from people who seem to not understand that I live in New York City, and are trying to see me “when I am home in Baltimore.” I am no @Kevin Slater so I don’t have exact numbers, but I would venture a guess that half of the people who contact me for appointments when I am traveling have not clarified my travel dates and are asking to see me when I am not in that city – I can’t imagine how many more people would be doing that sort of thing if I didn’t put clear dates.

Some guys change their location when they move around, not just to appear local, but to show what part of town they’re in. In a lot of major metros, a provider’s location can play a part in their business.
 
The pros of travel locations are basically to try as much as possible to drum up interest before you’ll be in a city. Some of us will cancel trips if there’s not enough interest (sorry for the guys that wait).
 
The cons of advertising beforehand is that even if you try as much as possible to mitigate it, by changing your headline of including travel cities in your text, you’ll still have guys whom won’t pay attention. If you advertise multiple travel cities at a time, you’ll find yourself texting “hi! I’m not currently in [city]. My as says I’ll be in [city] from [date to date]. Would you like to meet while I’m there?”
Sites handle this differently - RM shows you a month before your travel dates, MF a week - but it’s still a pain.
 
That being said, the bad of annoyance is outweighed by the good of guaranteed appointments before you visit.
 
Hope that sheds some light.

A better plan is to ask the clients from this forum. Mention what city you are in or going to and ask for recommendations. Many masseurs will lie to get the business or even if they are trained might give a lousy massage. This forum is a very valuable tool. Use it.

My 2 cents, it's not worth it. I gave them, and Massagem4m, thousands of dollars throughout the years and in the beginning I suspect I drew eyes to their sites. Once male4male website policies had to change as a result of the rentboy raid, each site made me feel as if I were a problem, not a 15-year-long customer they should work with.
 
Unfortunately, I'm told clients view those listing on rent masseur as only capable of rub and tug,. That's why clients often don't utilize it.

A lot throw out a bunch of potential cities to see where they get bites. LA guys do this with Vegas often, others with Miami.
...............and if all the escorts who put Hawaii in their travel plans ever went you couldn't fit everyone on the island.

Why not just pay his fee for three hours?

It represents the Incas not gays.
 
Bolivia has two national flags. One is a checkered rainbow flag for the indigenous people.

A better delineation of a city you plan to travel to, vs. one you’re in. I swear I type:
 


“Hi! I’m not currently in [your city]. My ad should say I’m in [city] & I’ll be in [your city] from [date-date]. Would you like to meet while I’m in town?”
 
More than scheduling actual appointments when I’m in that city. I know men don’t read, but there has to be a better way.

I would agree with everyone here. There are some amateur photographers on Grindr et al.
 
You can also play around with self timers and angles (all the Instagram models have given me ideas for sure).
 
It’s harder now, but when I was starting out, I used craigslist to connect with photographers (and get comfortable being naked in front of a stranger). It can be like pulling teeth to find ones that will film naked dudes but they do exist. And many photographers are looking to expand their male boudoir portfolios right now since that’s in.
 
Since the personals ads no longer exist, look in the gig section. Search “male” and “erotic” and other terms together, and search “-women” to weed out dudes with cameras trying to creep on girls.
 
Push comes to shove, post an ad and see whom responds. That’s how I got connected with my most recent photographer, Shawn Moorman in Little Rock.
 
I’ve been there. If you need I could try to help more.

Our grannies got fucked in the vagina, that's why we're here.
 

 
This is a forum and we usually don't agree on many things.
 

 
If yinz had used a condom by now HIV would be history. Thank scientist (and the medical industrial complex) for developing PrEP.
 

 
 
is the church lady a homophobic slur? You can come up with better insults, can you?
 

 
Some folks only BB with their husbands/partner and not with escorts who might see 10 guys a week.

And it still is.

I think OP resentment makes him forget the progress in STD transmission. BBking until about one year ago was just irresponsible

I think that each of us need to make our own decisions on our personal health and well being. The beauty of this forum is that we all get a chance to voice our preferences and opinions. on a forum like this. Most sexual practices that we engage in have some risk factors but if we are smart & diligent we should all enjoy ourselves. BB would be my personal preference but not going there with an escort or porn star who practices that on a regular basis.. I am glad it all worked out for you. Besides you are one hot man my friend. LoL

Indeed, completely ignoring the many, many HIV deaths, the new treatments which can keep us alive with HIV until old age, the reliable testing methods, PrEP etc.
 
Sure @muscmtl you discovered that people are changing their behavior, because reality is changing.
Most people make rational decisions based on the real world. Big news.

I enjoyed the unique logic in the very first paragraph where the OP suggests that our great grandmothers' willingness to reproduce should have motivated men to bareback with one another ever since.
 
And then that bit about him being "pissed off" because he and his fellow bbkers "did all the ground work" that now benefits us all.
 
And then the indignation that an escort who does porn has different rules with clients than with his partners in films.
 
What deep thinking! What an insightful post! How enlightening for us all! Thank you.

Ummm.....you left out the part where young men were dying.
 
It’s kind of an important part of the narrative.

@nate_sf , definitely the business card thing. I am definitely going to revert back to business cards.
 
I run the track often, and already twice I've come across guys who seem to be interested in me. One today, Latin guy walking his little dog. I stopped and spoke to him first, and wanted to make a move, but felt maybe too forward. With business cards, I can just say I do nude massage just like I would elsewhere...and not have to be concerned about being too forward. Use my fake internet number that's not traceable, and my email.
 
Only thing that's limiting me right now is not having a full time place to host. Hopefully that will be solved, very soon. I'm ready! Fuck I'm ready.

Labels describe. Labels don't define.
 
"Top" describes whose cock will be going into some "Bottom's" ass.
 
Being a "Top" doesn't define what other things they also do. Rimming, being rimmed, in your case swallowing, etc...
 
Top doesn't even define who is physically on top or who is in control. There are plenty of aggressive bottoms who like to fuck themselves on a guy's thick cock. In that position, the Top is on bottom and more passive, while the Bottom is on top doing most of the work.

Top/vers/bottom is merely an indicator of who would be doing anal penetration (or in the case of BDSM -- who is the active participant).
 
Imagine the possibilities if we didn't let this label for a single sexual activity (anal sex) limit the types of interactions that can take place between two (or more) people.
 
( Also, I top and I love swallowing. )

How gays see height

So we make more money when we are hotter, don't screen our clients, and treat our work as if it were another job?
It sounds like you are saying hot people are dumb but at least they make more money ;-)
 
Non of the escorts I know that screen clients turn them away because of their stats (or their race). Those that don't screen tend to end up bitching about their jobs more and find themselves in unsafe or unfortunate situations.
 
In the end, whether we screen or not comes with its pros and cons. And I love the puns!

I can be attracted to any age, race, gender, or body type. All it takes is honesty. It's hard to know if someone is being honest if they aren't willing to share their stats and to talk on the phone with me before meeting. Discretion is important to me, but so is feeling safe and establishing a sense of trust. I don't judge clients who are unwilling to share information with me because I know they have their reasons not to, and because I know there are escorts who don't need that information that will better service their needs. To me, no one is just a client with money--and I don't want to be just action for the exchange of money. My sex work is also my sex life.
