He's still a handsome guy, but he has put on weight, which you can see if you look closely at his RM pics. In the older ones he is lean and gorgeous. In the more recent ones he is considerably beefier. That's really just a minor infraction, though. His performance is just not up to par (and I think the other forum members who have met him would agree). No enthusiasm there. Very low energy. The Jeb Bush of escorts.

Yes he was born in Russia. I had no idea until I met him and heard the accent. All I can say is that if you're thinking of hiring him look at his RM pics carefully. You can tell the more recent ones from the older ones (where he looks incredibly hot). And read the thread I linked above. Caveat Emptor!

That makes ole Ben 0/3 with forum members to date. So sad - he looks so gorgeous in his RM pics (the earlier ones at least). Doveryai, no proveryai buds! That's Доверяй, но проверяй in Ruskie in case Ben is reading this. Come to think of it - that should be the official slogan of this forum!

Good advice generally speaking but its not so easy for many of us. There is a comfort in sadness, a consistency. And yes you are right, those of you who would say that that is irrational and just an excuse for inaction, but it can be true nonetheless.

Agreed. For $200 he'd have to throw in the log cabin to get my business! Anybody try negotiating him down to a reasonable rate?

And happy? (as in release)

Re: [uSER=12155]@Dominiking[/uSER] - Only been with him once but I knew as soon as his lips touched mine that they were the softest most kissable that I have ever felt. But Sean Xavier has the tongue of all ages. He practically devours you with it. Swapping spit with him is an other worldly experience.

Care to shoot some examples our way? Or PM if you prefer. Thanks

Guy was all over backpage when it was still around. Don't have time to go looking at the moment but he has definitely been discussed in another thread. My recollection is that reviews were mixed but more negative than positive and I seem to recall that more than one reviewer mentioned that he was a gratuitous up-seller insofar as "extras" were concerned (even the most basic ones). Hope that helped.

I see I have some competition for the title "forum master of word-play" but I think I have a better one! See below For that much I'd rather have some Paddy O'furniture!

He's absolutely stunning. Can you elaborate a little more about your time with him? PM if you don't think its suitable for mass viewing. Really like the guy but a little wary that he's so closely associated with a couple of fakes (even if they are hot).

Rolamdo? ROTFLMFAO!

*Alex Double jeopardy!

I don’t think NY is as price insensitive as many think. Not because there is a shortage of rich horny guys but because there are so many providers. Competition drives prices down, Economics 101. Ask Ben Bateman.

[Comment about driving in rush hour made me laugh. Are you from Jersey by any chance?] Seriously though, you don't sound like an a*hole at all. We all expect to get our moneys worth out of an encounter, nobody more so than me. But I'll say in rikanpapi's defense that it was only one time out of like half a dozen and probably because he felt more at ease with me being a fairly regular customer. Plus he's never rushed me out the door. If I want to stick around and chat after we're done he's usually cool with that and his rate is way way less than $300. That's one of the reasons I got with him in the first place. I'm not a rich guy either!

It is good! But the pictures of it on the wiki page you linked make it look like a steaming bowl of wallpaper paste The real deal (at least as far as I'm concerned) from TSR looks like this: https://www.instagram.com/p/Be1TEBaDInV/?taken-by=thestinkingrosesf

Ever have bagna cauda at the stinking rose in SF? Heaven if you love olive oil & garlic.

Castor Oil!

Oh I hope not! She's fabulous!

Been with him several times. Most recent was about a year ago. He's definitely the guy in the pics but when I saw him he looked more like the guy in pics 21 & 22. Looks from pics 1 & 2 like he's put on a little weight, but if you're ok with those pics I say go for it. Nice guy, very reasonable rates and pretty much does everything. Only complaint is since he's been on RM he gets a lot more inquiries and the last time we got together he kept interrupting our session to look at/reply to texts. The first few times we got together he was only on BP/Bronx so that wasn't an issue. Just ask him to turn the phone off and you should be ok.

No face pic. Not surprising since his silhouette resembles Patrick Stewart. Says he's a "real dad" which is accurate I suppose. A grandad is a dad after all!

I think I see a resemblance.

Actually I just noticed - one guy did get my joke in the above mentioned thread, and who was it? @azdr0710 - same guy who mentioned Pluto - Spooky coincidence (if it is a coincidence)

Well my Carl Sagan joke in this thread https://www.companyofmen.org/threads/sagan-in-chicago.135821/#post-1498597 went over like a lead balloon but as luck would have it I also have a Neil Degrasse Tyson joke (What's the connection? They both narrated the "Cosmos" documentary several decades apart.) Oh yeah the joke: When Pluto was demoted to a demi-planet I sent NDT an email and asked him if Plutonium was still an element or did it also get demoted? Funny, no? He didn't think so either - no reply.
