What a privilege it was to meet Mike Gaite today! He is a cool guy, easy to converse with, and sexy AF! I have been on cloud nine since I left him, and I hope there will be more chances to spend time with him in the future. Don't want to say too much lest it bleed into review territory, but suffice to say it was two hours of pure bliss. Thank you, Mike, for making this bundle of nerves feel so special!

Don't bother. Over-inflated ego and no sense of integrity.

I began having massages with Jake twenty years ago or so. Always sensual, naked...with time they became fully sexual. Jake has been around a long time, did/does porn, he is a hall of fame by now.

Jake Deckard - no one else compares!

Yeah- it also says "We will always strive to treat each person with dignity and respect and without favoritism" and I believe many guys here would have an opinion on how well you guys are doing on that front.

It's been mentioned by some in this thread that the escort may be asking to ensure that it's not entrapment or LE on the other end. I can certainly understand that mentality, but it can be flipped the other way. When these escorts start asking for my pics, I automatically assume it's a sting out to entrap me! I could lose my job if it got out that I'm engaging in an illegal activity, so I just avoid the risk. And with this FOSTA/SESTA bullshit impending law, the risk seems even greater for clients now. I have always struggled with how explicit to be regarding my expectations for a session. Someone earlier suggested that being explicit could also explain why the escort wanted face pics. But how are you supposed to ask for what you want and clearly articulate what it is you're looking for without being explicit? When there's this amount of money involved, a client wants to make sure he's going to get what he's paying for.

Okay, I've been lurking on this forum for a bit, but this is the dumbest fucking post I've ever seen and I refuse to stay quiet about it.
 
Short version: Let people have sex the way they want to, and they'll let you have sex the way you want to. No need to shame anyone for what they do in bed in private.
 
Long version: Fuck all the way off.
 
You say you've been barebacking for thirty years, so you must remember when HIV was literally named Gay-Related Immune Deficiency? You've been around to see 35 million people killed by HIV since its discovery? You attended a new funeral every week in the 80s, because all your friends were dying? You've seen gonorrhea becoming borderline-untreatable? You've seen STD rates in America soar to the highest they've ever been?
 
We are where we are today because of tremendous advancements in technology and medicine. We have antibiotics, we have antiretroviral therapy, we have so much more knowledge on prevention. We are in a much better place than we were thirty years ago, but millions of people died and suffered along the way to get us here. To ignore all of this and say "I was right, you're all a bunch of pussies" shows that you don't have a goddamn clue what you're talking about.
 
Whatever you do in your bedroom in private is none of my business. But don't you for a fucking second tell me I am less than you because I choose to protect myself. Your right to get your rocks off ends exactly where my health begins.

I guess it's not that it feels wrong per se. I'm just a little miffed at being talked to like a teacher scolding an errant schoolboy, if that makes sense. He got a ringing endorsement from a trusted forum member, so I'm trying to decide if I'm just overreacting or whether at this price point I really should expect more of a welcoming vibe.

There was just a big sting in Columbus a few days ago. They busted 27 local men through an ad posted in Backpage. Who's to say they won't start employing those tactics on RM?

No- just saying if it was cops running a sting operation - which there IS lots of evidence occurs- you are volunteering your photo as a first thing.

A lot easier for the cops, for sure.

Okay, so I reached out to a newbie in my city after doing some research and getting positive feedback from someone who had met him. He wanted to know if I had Venmo, which means he was wanting payment upfront. I feigned ignorance about Venmo. He didn't pursue advance payment, but then he wanted me to send him pics of myself. What the hell? This is the second time this has happened that an escort wanted me to send pics and stats of myself. These guys are in the wrong business!! They need to be on Grindr, not Rentmen! Pisses me off. A shame, too, because he was hot.
 
This hiring thing is becoming more difficult by the day. Just seems like there aren't any authentically skilled escorts out there - just scammers and fakes who only want your money. It's becoming just as much of a hassle as trying to find some action on the apps.

Of course I forgot to mention that once you have a second appointment, all sorts of discussions can happen. Once you have come in someone’s mouth, you can basically trust them that they are not a cop. At least I would.

As if I weren't already unnerved by the risk involved in this hobby, this pops up in my news feed today! I realize this was a Backpages sting, but the article doesn't specify whether this was straight or gay prostitution involved. The picture used for the article looks like two guys to me, but I'm not sure that's relevant. Could be a generic stock photo?
 
My concern is....what's to prevent local police departments from placing ads on Rentmen, especially now that FOSTA/SESTA is law. I think my days of taking a chance on an unknown escort are over. I'm afraid to even communicate with someone now unless I have firsthand feedback from someone on this forum or a Daddy's Review to validate that the escort is legit. Even then...how worried should I/we be?
