Well, personal finance is exactly that: personal. Every person is different, so I am not too surprised. Some people are more private...

This borders on the ridiculous!

Save water! Shower together!! That’s my story and I am sticking to it. Happens infrequently. The shower needs to be large enough to easily fit both of us. Dont mean to mislead, so let me be clear: they are masseurs, not escorts, so this is a shower and little more. This is usually not ‘on the clock’, post massage time.

Please be sure to consult your broker (if you have one) - I realized a few years ago that my umbrella insurance (extra liability) required me to maintain auto insurance as I do drive from time to time. I dont currently own a vehicle, but I do rent at times. The free insurance you get from your credit card when you rent is usually not “primary” insurance...

Discussed here before many times. Search for “strom” should give you results. https://www.companyofmen.org/threads/411-luca-strom-dc-nyc-and-other-cities.132757/#post-1446188

Indeed. Sadly (for them!) I learned how to do basic math a long time ago...

Couldn’t agree more. I prefer massage cream to avoid an oily mess. 1. Biotone is the best creme in my experience, makes for best experience overall. Some oil may come in handy towards the end of the session though... 2. If you only do outcall, keep the client apprised if you are running late. Offer to take a shower when you arrive, a 5 minute cleanup before you begin the session conveys respect (definitely wash your hands at a minimum) 3. Ask about pressure, trouble spots, music before you begin. 4. Be truthful in advertising. Under promise, over deliver will gain you recurring visits in my book. 5. Learn to read the client. Does the client seem comfortable? Does he enjoy conversing with me or is it a distraction? Is the client shivering because he is cold and I need to turn up the heating? 6. Send a discreet follow up note after the session if you would like the client to become a regular. People want to feel appreciated and if you enjoyed meeting somebody, why not say so. 7. Never, ever forget about an appointment and tell me you ‘overslept’ So my business means so little to you, you couldn’t even take the time to pencil me into your calendar or set an alarm?? 8. If you want to win a place in my heart, take a shower after the session and invite me to wash your back! (Okay, now I’m definitely pushing the boundaries!) 9. Be gracious and maintain a sense of humor at all times; unexpected things will happen (client burping). How you react will say more about you than the client. 10. If you used oil/creme on the client’s feet during the session, always wipe the soles of his feet at the end of the session. Dont risk the client slipping and falling on a tile/wood floor.

Could you clarify please - the post mentions a number of providers? Who are you referring to?

My favorites include Ron Oliver's Donald Strachey series (based on the books by Richard Stevenson). I mean, Chad Allen AND Sebastian Spence...what more could you want in terms of eye candy?? Any other suggestions? Thanks!

If it makes you feel better, you could dress up as a Dominos delivery guy and no one will spare you a second glance... Dont forget the pie - i think you will find that we enjoy ours with extra sausage, if you please!!

Cruel and unusual punishment...

What? I can’t hang out in my hotel room with my ‘nephew’?? lol What can I say...he has a lot of uncles!!

I’m not a professional companion, but when I hire in a location with secure floors, I usually communicate this to the companion ahead of time. We coordinate via text message and usually meet in the lobby (sometimes there is a Starbucks or restaurant/shop we can use as assembly point). Then we just head to the room together. Nothing weird or strange about that - have never been pestered by security or other guests.

Nooooooo..... I am not quite as vested in it (yet), as I was in Firefly, but still - it's been good to me so far!!!

Hold your horses there, fella... I am still catching up!!

I remember the exact moment when I realized older men are hot (and underrated!) I was watching late night tv, Stargate SG1 on Syfy, and all it took was one look at Richard Dean Anderson! He was 55 at the time and as hot as a firecracker! I hope I age as well as he did!!

I like your optimism! Just wish that sites like Rentboy.pro/Friendboy.pro would include better functunality to screen for the attributes I am looking for. Current search function is not very helpful. Seaching for a ‘#whatever’ is only helpful if everybody use the same ones, but it appears to be free form...

I am not familiar with Legion, but did a bit of googling and now it is on my list. Thanks!

Thank you - looks like I have plans for tomorrow! :-)

I really enjoy space operas. Big fan of Dune, Honor Harrington series, Old Man's War series etc. They rarely make for good television - plots tend to be very complex. Somehow I missed the SyFy series "the Expanse". I believe it is based on a book by James Corey. Anyone seen it? Is it any good? (I would hate to be disappointed...)

Be sure to check out the “Tech talk” section of the forum - I remember this topic being discusses there as well.

Exactly, so my chosen VPN is in a country in Europe where they have strict data privacy protections (GDPR requirements). I like uncle Sam, but I dont trust him with my data!

I use VPN Unlimited as well. Even have it on my mobile devices (they have frequent sales so I procured a lifetime license for 5 devices). Does slow down your connection at times and forget about streaming netflix/amazon video if you pick an isp outside of the USA. I would buy again if I had a do-over.

The “Stats” tab at the bottom of the page is quite telling....
