so which of his performance did you think was better - the live opera performance at the Met, or his live performance in you? ??

Hired a guy -- a gorgeous, muscle bound, versatile guy. Turned out he lived just a couple of blocks away from me. Also ran into him once or twice at the gym. Some family came to visit, and we went to an Off-Broadway production. Guess who was up on the stage? One of my female relatives couldn't stop gushing about how hot he was. I casually mentioned that I had seen him at the gym. I left out how else we knew each other. Met up with him a couple of more times, and then one day I noticed that his building had been emptied for demolition. His ad disappeared, which is probably better for my wallet. He was a great kisser and a good conversationalist on top of having a superhero body and talented at sex. It's too bad he lost his apartment--it had one of the finest outdoor decks I've ever seen for a one-bedroom apartment.

While visiting my hometown a few years ago, I treated my parents to front table seats at a well-known dinner-theater in the round. Prior to the show, I had been perusing the Masseur ads for the area since I usually made at least one arrangement when I visited. One ad was a traveling masseur who commented that he’d be available for about 6 weeks. Odd, I thought. And he was hot. Stared at his pics and made a mental note. Fast forward to the theater. You guessed it, the masseur dude was in the cast in a starring role. I had over two hours to watch him perform, warble, and dance his little ass off. I texted him after the show and we set up an appointment for the next day. I did not say a word about the show, and we had an amazing eruptive time together. Afterwards I checked and found there was a Sunday matinee, and what the hell, I got a single ticket and went back. For some reason, the first performance didn’t have a meet-and-greet, but the matinee certainly did. His face was priceless when I went through the shake-hands line and gave him a big old hug. He just kept saying OMG over and over. I made it back for a couple of more “sessions” before his engagement ended. I track his whereabouts in case he’s in an upcoming show in my area. Stunning man.

I did hire an escort years ago, and realized that I had seen him in a live opera performance at the Met.

Met this hot little boybabe back in the days of the old AOL chatrooms (which I fuckn LOVED just go to your city and there was always a room called "companions" the guys were ready to work and looking, would send their pix etc. Prob was the rooms had a TINY capacity like 22ppl so you often had to click join repeatedly for an hour - along with a hundred others doing the same - before timing it to get in when someone left) MANY of the guys like this boy never advertised it was all impromptu on the DL and these rooms were a perfect place to stay that way.
I was still in my 20s and he was just 19 with a big dick and HUGE balls. We hooked up a few times then he disappeared Emails bounced back phone # changed. THEN I saw him in a episode of one of those 90210 style teen shows in a small part just a few lines. But I was able to get his name, and over the next 2 years saw him in a few more hour shows AND a feature film with a few lines. About another year went by then I got an email from HIM, asking if I wanted to "hang out" again etc. (the life of an actor isn't known for steady income lol)
Started seeing him again, and continued to on n off for the next 10-12 yrs. Last thing I saw him in was an hr crime drama show about 4 yrs ago.

Yes there is a porn performer I met once who was in a couple semi-mainstream movies later in his post-porn career. He became a successful attorney, always claimed his porn performances paid for law school.
 
One of my all time favorite masseurs was a struggling actor, long after we both moved on I was pleasantly surprised to see him in a bit part in one of the Superman franchise movies.
 
Perhaps a bit more common here in SoCal so see these worlds collide.

An escort I hired many years ago while visiting Colorado Springs later appeared on TV as the escort who outed Ted Haggard in 2006. Ted Haggard, the pastor of a large church in Colorado Springs and president of the National Association of Evangelicals, had hired the escort over three years and once even asked him to procure some crystal meth to use. When the escort was in the gym one day, he happened to see Ted Haggard on TV excoriating gays and decided to publicly out him. All of this was reported by Jon Stewart who used interviews by Richard Dawkins to expose Ted Haggard's hypocrisy. The escort is incidentally pictured in the last half of the segment:

I'm assuming that you mean other than seeing his mug shot as part of the evening news. If so, then no.

Yes, a few documentaries were made about Male Hustlers and Escorts around the late 90's and several interviewed were in San Francisco where I lived at the time. I even played with a few for free on their own time cruising around! Oh those were the days when people left the house to cruise and look for sex. Sigh... To be young again! 

Nah...but I’ve sure seen lots of my Grindr and Scruff hookups on TV and in the media.

I was surprised this week when I saw a TV commercial that featured an escort I had hired a year ago. Apparently he truly is an actor.
 
it reminded me that approximately three or four years ago I hired an escort who I was surprised to see on TV working as a male stripper on an episode of Real Housewives.
 
And speaking of strippers, another escort told me he was contacted through his Rentmen ad by a producer from the Ellen Degeneres talk show to appear as a stripper in one of her comedy bits on the show. With all of the Ellen news that broke this year, it was not a surprise to learn that they were using Rentmen as a casting source.
Has anyone else ever seen an escort they hired on a TV show or in a movie?

Yes. One who was on America’s Got Talent. He was pilloried by Simon, who told him he looked like a girl. He later became a gay porn ”star”. He had the creamiest cum I ever...
 
The other was from San Diego and starred in a reality show where he revealed that he was a gay escort. Very regrettably, he committed suicide. I never picked up on any signs of depression or suicidal ideation.

Agreed,
 
The first thing that came to mind was the thread on this site a while back, where a very average-looking, out of shape, older escort was being roasted and humiliated with absolutely no restraint.
 
Guess who suddenly became the mean girls? Not other providers, but the customers... the same potential clients that cry “ageism, body shaming, and discrimination”, when the tables are turned.
 
I even remember the Kenzo thread, where this masseur gained a few pounds and these guys suddenly became “model scouts”, and picked the poor guy apart...
 
I’m just a firm believer in the golden rule... even when it comes to this... ☺

Haven't had him, but can confirm he's stuuupidly hot in-person (worked together at one of my day jobs a year and a half ago and also saw him at another of his jobs downtown more recently).  Those pics are okay, but he's better-looking in real life.
Nice guy, too, the little I talked to him.

No experience in Toronto beyond Joey Jordan who is a lot of fun. His ad appears to be temporarily frozen. https://rent.men/joeyjordan
 
Am eyeing for my next trip there these 2 ads:

second provider I ever met was Haus Weston....Las Vegas in 2003....sadly, he died somewhat mysteriously in 2007 at age 29 overseas.....
have written all this before on the forum, but he was utterly perfect at our meet......ex-military, leaned down from an earlier somewhat-puffy state, subtle sexy Southern accent (Eastern Shore Maryland), entirely masculine, low-key and laid-back, incredible butt (I still remember him walking naked to the bathroom at one point)......unfortunately, I was still new at the hobby and very much regret limiting myself during the meet......we talked a lot and he was honest and easy-going.....
several years later, during a visit to DC and environs, I visited his 'grave' (he was cremated) at the Eastern Shore Veterans Cemetery, just a few miles from where he was born.....

 
 

One of the best that I could not get enough of was Trevor917.  His ad didn't show any face pics, and I had run into enough issues with that, I swore to never meet again if they didn't have a face pic. Many years ago, someone had mentioned on a forum, not sure if it was on here or not, that he was on the cover of one of those workout magazines. When I saw him on there, I looked him up and arranged to meet up with him as soon as I could. Not only was he hot and handsome, was one of the nicest guys. There seem to be hardly any pictures of him or at least I cannot seem to find any online. This is one of the few pics that I did find of him. 

Far be it for me to suggest what others do with their money, but fun is more difficult to come by as you get older and if you need to take a small financial hit to have a great time, there are ways of doing both.  In such circumstances I usually ask myself if I am going to die with more money in the bank than the amount I am going to spend.  If the question seems ridiculously easy to answer, I have my answer.  As a result, I have a lot more fun and little less money and a ton more in the way of happy memories.  

Well dcsmlxl here is a quick recap of the weekends events.  Most participants arrive in Palm Springs on either Thursday or Friday.  In the past DavidSF has hosted, on Friday, an afternoon gathering/pool party at his home.  He supplies refreshments and it is all very relaxed.  On Saturday late afternoon (early evening) there is a no host dinner at a local restaurant.  In the past the event as been held at Trio.  Cost is about $50.00 per person and includes: choice of two or three starters, choice of three or four entrees and choice of two or three desserts.  Wine and tip are also included.  On Sunday afternoon there has been a pool event held at Oliver's condo.  Lots of food, soft drinks, bottled water, and beer are also provided.  This is a hosted event so there is no charge for those attending.  The only thing participants bring is anything special they want to drink.  In the past there has been a dinner, at a local Mexican restaurant, after the pool party.  It is possible that this event will not take place this year because there is so much food provided at the pool event that most people aren't hungry enough to warrant a dinner.  Under consideration, for this coming year, is a possible farewell breakfast Monday morning

Not for anything but when going to a gay male nude resort the getting nude part is really nothing.  Either people are going to look at you in admiration or they are not going to look at you at all.  So get over your self doubts and bring plenty of spf35 for the delicate parts.  

Well I am not quite so considerate of others, I will be naked in the pool.  Fair warning given to change your reservations.  And as I recall the last PS weekend I attended you were at a pool party with your clothes on getting orally serviced by a certain muscular silver haired escort on the couch while discussing politics.  

But it is important to remember
Most people are decent
These things do happen 
 But the vast majority of people don't even want to bother you
And an overwhelming majority of people don't want to poison you or kill you
 

Whether in call or out call, I always meet the gent in a public setting first. Usually the hotel bar if I’m hosting, or a pub near his if he’s hosting. This goes for both first time hires, as well as established regulars. It makes it a bit less transactional to have a few drinks, and a chat before getting down to business. 
I can understand being cautious accepting drinks in their home or hotel - especially with a first time hire. It’s honestly never occurred to me tho. Any gent I engage with has come with recommendations from hobbyists on here, and/or that I know outside this forum. Whether I’ve just been lucky I can’t say. What I will say the one time I believe someone slipped something in my drink was at a well known gay bar in NYC. Nothing bad happened - beyond feeling all fogged for a day or two after - but can’t figure out why the bartender (that’s who we were convinced slipped something in our drinks) did it 🤷🏼‍♂️
Needless to say, I’ve not darkened their door since. 
Whether it’s a provider, a hook up, a guy chatting you up at the bar, etc. just be mindful gents and be careful!
