I suspect being "straight looking" isn't why you have trouble hooking up.

If we were dealing with a conventional product (or even a personal trainer such as you) versus an escort product that is illegal for both parties, I would somewhat agree with your prepayment requirement.
 
However, due to potential problems associated with the escort business, can you tell me how a client can maintain privacy if making a prepayment to an escort and also be assured that the prepayment would be honored by the person requesting the money?
 
While many meetings with escorts go well, many do not. Also, when dealing with rentmen advertisements, a huge portion of those ads are bogus. Sending advance money requests to those who advertise escort services is near equivalent to throwing money out the window.
 
Most forum members agree on it being a bad idea to make prepayments to escorts unless the escort is a known product.

The effectiveness of antibodies is still an open issue. We don't know how long they last, or the extent to which they confer temporary immunity. We do know that people have contracted Covid a second time which should give some pause to those relying on the prospect of herd immunity and immunity from the antibodies. We also have relatively little knowledge of how the virus adapts. Time will tell.

I think you're nuts to hire here now, if that pisses off anyone off so be it. Of course we want to support EVERYONE who's livelihood has been affected or lost by this, and YES obviously scorts are not eligible for UE benefits or the covid emergency benefits (that run out end of this mo btw) if escorting is all they do, but MANY ppl are in the same boat. Scorts tend to be YOUNG (20's 30's) and I can tell you bc I LIVE here; that age bracket is NOT particularly responsible, I see it, first hand, who's standing outside open air bars or on the street no social distance no masks etc etal as if nothing is wrong, and we need only look at Fire Island last weekend (where I share a place and decided to SKIP going this summer) to see these boys packed together partying on the beach in the Palace pool etc. (buds said I was being overly cautious, they don't seem to grasp that even if we stay away from the party scene, we're STILL passing these boys on 3ft wide walkways still shopping at the only market with them side by side still being served by them for take-out etc etc)
Young guys are the largest A-SYMPTOMATIC group. They feel fine.
A scort being your long time regular hire means no more than him being your cousin of BFF or anyone else you don't cohabitant with..
There is NO way to be CERTAIN who can give it to you.
Saying "I'm Neg" doesn't mean what it did for HIV, covid and antibody tests are iffy, I have friends who've changed one day to the next, then back again.
And Unlike HIV, this IS easy to get. There's no safe sex for this. Someone TALKING to you can spread it.
Be safe! Jerk off! Take the $$$ you'd spend to hire and spend it on Paysites.
Wait it out. That's my advice.

Only you can determine the level of risk you consider acceptable for yourself, although with Covid your risks aren't entirely your own. To my mind, NYC is and will remain a hot spot for Covid 19 because of the sheer size and density of the population. The numbers have stabilized, and that's largely a result of the rigorous approach to social distancing, wearing of masks, and limiting gatherings. Of course, any hiring one does in NYC will be the opposite of those practices and be risky. The simple fact of population density means you are never too far removed from someone who has been in contact with the disease and that, should you contract it, you will be in close proximity to others so as to be prone to spread it. So, in sum, the positives w/r/t NYC are that the population takes this seriously, as do the local officials, while the negatives are the population size and compact quarters. That would be too much risk for me to take on.

He's been on RM for 3 years now, a lot of good reviews. He's been discussed as a masseur, but nothing as an escort.
 
Anybody with experience can share?

I like that. Just say up front in your profile the type of people you want to hire you (not saying you @MrMattBig ). I may not like it but at least I know after I read it that you’re not the type of provider I would want to spend my money on. Transparency (no matter how harsh) saves a lot of headaches.....and money

how is that a photoshop? thats a person walking into the water.

The original post is from last December; his account was deleted since then.

This ?

And if race is a concern I target escorts who have in their descriptions something like "no race hung ups", "all body types", or "a mouth is a mouth" (jks)

Massage therapists have to wear masks, protective eyewear, and "disposable or washable frock". Everything has to be changed/cleaned between clients. The client also has to wear a mask.
 
Though I have a hard time imagining those measures being in place at a strip club. A naked man dancing in a mask and a visor just doesn't have the same allure. ?

On a hunch I checked if it worked on onlyfans...and yep.

Though bars are not allowed to reopen just yet.
 
"Bars will not be allowed to open and there is no date yet for when they will be allowed to do so.
Boulet said there is a concern, just as there is with allowing religious ceremonies and weddings, that people have a few drinks and lower their guard — increasing the risk of transmitting COVID-19."
 
It'll be interesting to see, in the case of Stock or other Montreal strip bars, how they'll manage the physical distancing for the private dances. The stage area is fine, but the booths won't respect the minimum distance. Since it's how the boys make the most of their money, I'm wondering if they'll want to come back if they can't do private dances.

Does it make sense?

He definitely loves cock!

Unfortunately there's no emoji as hot as your profile's pic!
 
Also try searching areas outside your neighborhood, folks might think it's a neighbor trying to see if they're for hire or looking to pay in a hookups app where folks usually fuck for free (pardon my French). You don't eat where you S%#&*^T
 

 
Mature?
 
What makes you think guys hiring from Grindr are mature, some might be young guys out of shape or offering $ to someone clearly out of their league.

I understand the purpose and, believe me, I wish there was a simple way to rate clients from a provider perspective since we deal with a lot scammers and flakes from a provider standpoint. However, I am a big believer in safeguarding the identity of clients. We choose to release our personal information to the world while many clients do not. I believe providers should respect the privacy and anonymity of all clients.

but not between 'discrete' and 'discreet' :-P

I don’t really care what a guy does in his private life as long as I feel that he is enjoying his time with me, he is responsive, and basically “into me”. I have met many Czech providers who, after a hot session where they have kissed me passionately with lots of tongue action, rimmed me without inhibition, sucked me to completion, and swallowed my cum, go and have dinner with their girlfriend du jour. No problem there.

I’ve been in weekly text contact with my regular guy, and after a fair amount of discussion we met up last weekend. I was more than ready to see him after nine weeks of abstinence, and as for him—well, I’ll just say that, between his pent-up horniness and mine, it was epic. Here’s what I texted him afterwards: “I really appreciated your doing that session today. It might have felt weird or freaky given all the COVID shit, but instead it felt like two friends catching up over a beer--aside from the mind-blowing orgasms, of course, and the fact that there was no beer ... Anyway, you sort of re-set my brain from disaster mode back to normal, at least for a little while; and I love you for that, man, and for much else!“

I'm not sure the point of posting about these encounters if you're not going to point us to a review you wrote or id the provider. If it's just to vent about a bad experience, please preview the recap of the encounter with a statement saying so. Otherwise we're left to wonder how the post is useful to us as readers.

I watched the Stock studio show last night on their membership website. They have a new format for the studio shows where DJ/Webmaster Anthony now does a 15 minute or so interview portion first where he asks the dancer a number of questions. It's fun and different. That is followed by the dancer teasing the web audience by stripping and then masturbating to till the moneyshot. Did I mention that the show is done live?!? I really enjoyed the first show with Tommy. Great body and really nice guy. His friend dancer Frank also made a quick special appearance. The second dancer was Nick. Also fun although I did not see that one through to the end. One thing to note is that, unlike previously, the dancer no longer interfaces on-line with the chat crowd responding to their questions directly. That seems to have been replaced with Anthony's interview with the dancer.
 
Anyway, small changes but I enjoyed the new format.

No doubt.
Reading other people’s unvarnished, and often ill informed options about one’s self can be hurtful.
But remember they are just that...opinions.

Mostly because of your responses.
Not because of the initial debate.
You need to try and understand that and learn from it.

One short post explaining yourself and the logic behind your RM ad would have done that nicely.
The rest?....is like a child playing with a loaded gun. It’s very dangerous....especially to your “ brand”.
