You can draw traffic to your ad by attaching your ad link to lots of different types of content, not just your posts on this site. For example, posting nudes on social media accompanied by your ad link is a great way to draw traffic.

I much prefer to be “single”, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have a personal sex life. I’m moody about unpaid hookups, so I never arrange them ahead of time. Rather I simply cruise for them in gay bars, public places, or on hookup apps when the mood strikes me. I don’t expect anything dating-related to occur afterwards. I have made some good friends that started off with hookups, and that is cool with me. But unless there is a true click of friendship, I do not go on repeat encounters with most of my hookups. Guys are eager to use people for sex, I’m pretty open about being an escort, and most are way too eager to justify treating me like their personal FREE escort again and again if I would allow it. We hook up only when I’m in the mood and it’s convenient for me, which is typically only once. I find servicing someone at THEIR convenience to be WORK, so unless someone is paying me, NSA sex is just not going to happen regularly. At the same time I have no interest in traditional dating. Yucks me out in just about every way possible. I do love some people very dearly, especially my close friends. Some of my friends & I even have ongoing intermittent sexual relationships. I do not mind going out of my way for someone else’s pleasure if there is true mutual caring and friendship between us. I just don’t need or want that to look like “dating”...

RM emails copies of every message to my email inbox, so I don’t actually need to log into RM inbox to read my messages. So the messages can show up as “unread” on RM even tho I read the messages long ago in my email inbox. Yes, we do get so many emails that it can be difficult to reply to them all. But we especially get a lot of time-wasting emails that just don’t seem worth responding to. If you’re finding that escorts are dropping contact with you consistently, it might very well be that you’re making mistakes in communication and coming off as tho you’re not serious about booking. Be sure to read the escort’s ad and/or website carefully to make sure a different method of contact isn’t specified. For example, I do answer RM messages sometimes, but my serious clients contact me via email, hence that method of contact is much more likely to successfully get my attention. My website clearly says to contact me via email, so anyone who messages me on RM obviously didn’t read my website, which is a shady foot to start off on when contacting me. I expect potential clients to read my website before contacting me and those who don’t are typically time-wasters/window-shoppers. I might respond to an initial RM message in a friendly manner, but I’m often testing someone to see how they will respond further, and an unimpressive 2nd response would likely go unanswered by me. Best of luck improving your communications! XOXO

I’m a giver, so I prefer to work at my clients’ sweet spots... making someone shiver, gasp, squirm, writhe in esctsasy, making their legs shake, making them lose their ability to form complete sentences... these are the things that make me the happiest in life. I draw a deep sexual satisfaction from my ability to give pleasure that has nothing to do with my own orgasm, which I think is difficult for a lot of folks to understand. I mostly jerk myself off multiple times a day already if I’m in the mood to cum. Some of my clients, particularly my regulars, have learned how to make me cum, but it takes a lot of time, patience, and practice. I’m not an orgasm machine and I don’t like pretending to be. If someone needs to make me cum, especially easily and multiple times, to enjoy himself, then I’m probably not the right service provider for him. Really no guarantees of that. But the lack of orgasm doesn’t mean I didn’t have a great time. Most of my favourite hookups have nothing to do with my own orgasms, and most of the orgasms I do have with partners are with regular clients who have taken the time to learn my particulars... What excites me the most with a partner is finding their sweet spots. I like to find them by licking every single inch of someone with my tongue... outside AND in... LOL The prostate is a particularly sweet spot that I’m very proud of my talents with. I love nothing more than to be on my knees between someone’s legs driving them ABSOLUTELY MAD in the best way possible. I would rather be doing that than just about anything else. So I guess my “sweet spot” is between someone else’s legs with my tongue and my fingers driving my partner crazy!!

It will matter to some people and not others. Some clients who do extended bookings prefer that you don’t show your face so that you can be seen together without it being obvious to anyone who has seen RM that you’re an escort. Some clients need to see a face before they book to know if they’ll be attracted to you. You should do whatever you feel comfortable with. Facial recognition software is becoming increasingly common, and showing your face as an escort can make crossing certain international borders unnecessarily difficult. It’s possible we will see even more of that in the future, and the internet is forever. I say all of that, but I’m someone who shows my face in all my marketing. For me, sharing my face with potential lovers in advance is really important, so I take all the risks and chalk it up to occupational hazard.

Cool well I really do wish you the best of luck, but FYI hosting in your ‘junky’ basement is probably not a good way to build up a positive reputation. You will need to invest money to make money, so if you want to be able to form a good reputation and a profitable business, I suggest you invest some of your other income in some form of transportation. Could be as simple as a bicycle or an Uber gift card. Or find a supportive friend with a car and offer to pay them to drive you. Ask to borrow a roommate’s car sometimes and negotiate a monthly contribution to the insurance & maintenance so it feels mutually-beneficial. Or clean up your junky basement and buy some secondhand furniture, hang some nice linens, get a Bluetooth speaker to use down there for some ambiance. Work with what you’ve got, but at the same time, if you’re not investing much into starting your business, then don’t be surprised if you’re slow to see much profit or your reputation receives mixed feedback at first while you’re getting shit together. To start off with a positive reputation as a newbie, you need to have these kinds of logistics managed. Being a professional escort is not the same as incidentally allowing some guy to suck your dick for money sometimes. You’re expected to manage the logistics and provide a professional service. You might get away with being a little sloppy in some areas, but your reputation and business might suffer for it. Do you have another job or source of income right now? Or are you hoping to start this business with nothing and see if you can earn enough income to live off of from this? Sorry if you already answered this question and I missed it. Reading and replying on the go today...

Practice makes perfect! But seriously, being an escort is running a business. In business, you have to invest money to make money. If you can’t even afford $10-20 to book an Uber or a Lyft to get around, then you’re NOT in the position to start escorting successfully. I understand that you need money, but it seems like you think escorting is gonna be easier or faster money than most other jobs. It’s not the case unless you work in an extremely reckless way. It takes time to build a client base and you have to invest your own money for advertising and transportation to reach them. Yes it’s true that eventually, an established professional can make quick cash same-day and that’s very convenient. But no NEWBIE is gonna be able to find two clients same-day to make hundreds of dollars to cover a car bill. That is the perk of being an EXPERIENCED escort. Yes getting a pay check job does involve a wait to get paid. You have to work for two weeks, maybe wait another week to get that pay check. A two week wait for what? $500-700? Sure, it SOUNDS like an escort can make more money and faster, but how many escorts invest $60 into a RM ad and $50 into a burner phone only to get just 1-2 clients their first month of work? Tons of them. Let’s say $200 each and be generous and say first month there was 2 clients. $20 uber expenses for each client. $400 - $150 investment = $350 of profit for the first month of being an escort. Sort of makes the hourly pay check job look like a damn good option. This isn’t an abnormal experience for new escorts. If your panic is about DEBT and CREDIT SCORE, just get a grip on yourself. Tons of people are in lots of debt and have bad credit. You just need to get over it and accept that this is going to be the case for you for now. Put that shit on the back burner and focus on getting your basic life needs together. You need housing, transportation, food, etc. If all that is provided for you then quit panicking. Your desperation is absolutely a dangerous factor as you consider entering the industry. You should not try to escort until it disappears; otherwise you will make bad decisions and subject yourself unneccesarily to negative experiences. Have a clear business-oriented approach to escorting and you can succeed. But as with any business, you will operate in the red at first and it will take time for you to draw a profit, especially a profit that beats a wage job. Approaching this as the business endeavour that it is rather than a quick and easy way to make money is what will make you a good escort. That and lots of practice. Best of luck.

He WILL probably want alone time too. And be grateful that you raised the subject.

Not entirely surprising...

You can use the Recharge App to host in the city for an affordable rate. I think you’ll find that RM is a much less frustrating environment to work than CL. Best of luck!

I’m confused, OP, did you write the review because you wanted to write one, or because you wanted him to give you additional attention for it after the fact? You seem very QUICK to be bothered by his lack of attention for your review considering you only met him YESTERDAY... If you wrote the review for your own gratification, I don’t understand why you would expect him to thank you for it. He didn’t ask for the review. He may not even have wanted one. He allowed you to write one because you wanted to write one. Why do you feel that he owes you a thank you, and by the very next day in fact?? He might be busy?? Does it occur to you that we might have other things to do in life besides monitor our RM profiles and message people on our work phones?? I do really appreciate it when clients write me reviews. I don’t always message them to say thank you. But I often do. Sometimes I am very busy and simply don’t have the time. But in those cases I definitely didn’t ask the client to write the review. If I specifically request for a client to review me, of course I am going to thank him. He did me a favor. If a client reviews me for his own pleasure tho, because he likes reviewing, I don’t really need to go out of my way to thank him for that. He did it for him. I will anyway sometimes, but I don’t always have the time. I question someone’s motives who acts like they are doing me a favor by writing a review I never asked for but feels entitled to receive a thank you note for something that he really did for himself. Just rubs me the wrong way. And I guess if he was offended that I didn’t take the time to thank him, I don’t consider it much of a loss. That type of entitlement tends to show up in other ways down the line, and maybe he’s not the best client for me in that case anyhow. I personally enjoy reviews, but a lot of escorts merely tolerate them. I think that’s important to keep in mind. Reviews are for the clients’ benefit primarily. Both gratification for the writer to see his experience in writing, and prospective clients who get to read experiences of others before booking. A lot of escorts could care less whether you review them or not.

In Indian culture people get offended when someone superfluosly thanks them. People consider it overly-formal and unnecessary. It took some serious re-training to teach myself to stop saying thank you for every little thing. I’m pretty sure “Thank You” is one of the first phrases I was taught to say, and I’ve been speaking in complete sentences since I was just one year old. People who I feel I have amazing connections with in India constantly get the wrong impression that I’m keeping them at arms length because I thank them for doing me basic favours. And I can hardly stop myself- it’s like a reflex!!

I’ve never actually hired anyone, but since we are fantasising, I will say transgender model Laith Ashley. As far as I know he doesn’t escort, but damn!! http://image.posta.com.mx/sites/default/files/laith_ashley_gay.jpg http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2016/03/09/21/32076DC400000578-3484643-image-a-52_1457558764043.jpg

So sad! I never did an Incall there but I always wanted it to happen. Now I guess I missed my chance...

I definitely wouldn’t mind charging less if my work was decriminalised. The stigma makes my life expensive in all kinds of ways. Not being able to be honest with a landlord about how I earn a living is a huge problem for me in trying to rent an apartment. And I don’t even host clients at home! A lot of the cheaper hotel and AirBNB type options are on the lookout for escorts to get them kicked-out or banned from using their service, which means that when I DO host, I’m typically spending a minimum of $100 for a location where my work can fly unnoticed. I can’t very well charge $200 for an encounter that costs me $100 to host. If my work was legal it would be much more justifiable for me to host at home or at a cheap $40 hotel. But those $40 hotels are on the lookout for escorts precisely because it IS illegal. The ad venues we are forced to use due to the illegal nature of our work are overpriced and very limiting on what we can say to describe our work. I specialise in prostate stimulation and giving p-spot orgasms, but I’ve been BANNED from so many ad venues for mentioning my area of expertise in my ads. When I purposely decline to mention my area of expertise to keep my ads “clean”, they become more than 50% useless for me, since the clients who are interested in my main selling point can’t determine from my ad that I offer such an experience. “Normal” forms of internet advertising such as promoting tweets on Twitter or placing ads on Facebook, which would have a much wider-reaching audience, are not options for those of us whose work is illegal. I could give out business cards, but that’s also widely recognised as extremely risky due to the illegal nature of our work. I have to lie to the government about what I do for a living, lie to my uber drivers about where I’m going, lie to the hotel staff about what I’m doing in town, etc. I hate lying. I would much rather be open about what I do all the time and have the associated conversations to fight the stigma surrounding my work. But in so many situations, I have no choice but to lie to avoid legal repercussions. The lying also has an opportunity cost in life that is difficult to explain. When I lie and tell people that I’m a web designer, for example, people constantly offer me web design work on the spot. Networking in real life is a serious resource. The inability to network casually in a lot of situations adds up to a huge financial loss too. I could go on and on with examples but I’m sure you guys get the idea. Decriminalisation would lower rates but I would be fine with that. Being criminalised is expensive as hell!

There are other FTM escorts on this forum who probably have a different perspective about screening than me, so hopefully one or more of them will also chime in with some added perspective...

As far as I can tell it doesn’t seem like gay escorts really screen their clients beyond using their intuition over the phone or whatever. So if you wanna fit into the “social norm” for gay escorts then you would probably wanna go along the lines of not requiring any “formal” screening. I personally do require screening information from my clients. I used to work as a female escort and continue to feel I am exposed to the same risks of stalking and violence since I advertise in both M4M and straight-oriented ad venues (because bi & heteroflexible guys are a still a large portion of my current client base). I don’t feel comfortable giving up my screening practices. I expect any of the gay clients who want to meet me to follow my screening requirements, which probably severely limits the number of gay clients who contact me about a booking. My pricing is also really abnormally high for a gay escort too, which I’m sure is an additional factor. I do feel your question is phrased in a somewhat unhelpful manner. There are absolutely no established industry norms for how FTMs operate because there is no sector of the industry specially for us. If you plan to work the gay side of the industry exclusively then you need to be asking how gay men screen, not how FTMs screen. If you plan to copy their methods. If you plan to ignore the industry norms and implement your own methods, then you can do that too. Just know that lots of gay clients will be turned off by it and probably avoid booking you. My gay friends who escort have insisted that their clients are not much of a risk of stalking or violence to them. Now that I’m transitioning and seeing the difference between how people treat me as a guy compared to how people treated me when they thought I was a girl, I’d say it’s generally a male privilege thing. Men get to escort without being subject to the same level of risk regarding violence and stalking as a female escort would be. So generally Male escorts don’t seem to screen. Transgender escorts are, however, subject to some of the highest levels of violence in the industry. This is mostly MTF escorts as I understand it. But at this point in my transition I’m much more likely to be booked by trans-fetishists (the same guys who are booking MTF escorts) and heteroflexible/bi/straight men, so I still consider myself to be at risk for these types of violence. If I was being booked almost exclusively by gay clients then I might feel less at risk and change my tune about requiring screening. Best of luck deciding what to do!

same!

Too bad I’ll be back in India by then. Have fun y’all...

Actually the T I use is a blend of 4 different esters which allows for a staggered release and relatively stable T levels over the course of 2-4 weeks (in my body’s case, 3 weeks). It’s called Sustanon 250 and it’s very common in most of the world. It’s not FDA approved, so you won’t find it in the US. Costs me less than $3.50 per dose in India. The esters in Sustanon 250 are: 30 mg testosterone propionate 60 mg testosterone phenylpropionate 60 mg testosterone isocaproate 100 mg testosterone decanoate

I already take testosterone injections intramuscularly every 3 weeks. So dealing with syringes and needles, plus knowing how to inject intramuscularly at home, are already on my plate. I would love to switch to an intramuscular injection for Truvada instead of a daily pill. Not sure if I would feel the same way if I wasn’t already doing intramuscular injections regularly tho. Intramuscular injections hurt like hell for a few days post-injection if the muscle is not used to being injected into. After about a year of injecting into my quad muscles, tho, they’ve really gotten used to it, and I hardly experience any post-injection pain at all now. So for me it would be a relatively painless and convenient option.

The generic of Truvada from India is good. At Indian pharmacies it retails for $35/30 pills. It’s called Tenvir-EM. As long as you have a trustworthy company handling the export, it should be the real deal. The drugs in Indian pharmacies are good. ANYONE can buy drugs from pharmacies here without a prescription. But a company charging Americans to export drugs overseas COULD be running a scam, selling fake drugs to increase their profit margin. Your $35 drugs that they’re only charging $50 for could be earning them a $15 profit on the real thing or a $45 profit on a fake bottle. So that’s the major concern with buying from Indian pharmacies online. If you can make it to India yourself or get a friend to bring you the meds from India, that’s one way to be very sure that the drugs are legit. Or if you have a good working relationship with an online pharmacy and you know their drugs are real, then stick with the company you know and trust. There is a risk of getting fake drugs and it’s the middle-men who are to blame in this case, not the actual pharmacies on the ground in India. The more you know...

Any freelancer planning to move to NYC and secure a Manhattan apartment needs a reality check even if they’re not an escort. It’s nearly impossible to rent a place here. You will need to show income proof equal to 30x the rent and be able to put down around $10K up front just to get one.

Yup it’s transphobic as fuck. Cis men rule the world and gay cis men are no exception when it comes to their little worlds. Obviously the guys who own rentmen wanna see cis guys’ hard-ons badly enough to take the legal risk, but don’t care to make a correlating exception for trans guys. It puts trans guys who TOP in a very difficult situation. Every cis TOP on RM is allowed to show off his tool, but mine is relegated to private photos? Transphobic and I literally won’t be renewing my RM ad over the policy. The ad is pretty useless to me if I can’t even include the kind of photos that my potential clients would want to see before booking me.

I think RM is editing passwords out of profiles. I noticed they keep removing mine from my profile too. Otherwise I have the same view about people requesting an unlock thru RM. All my photos are on my website, and I really feel that if a client is serious, he should be willing to click over and view them there. I do approve unlock requests tho cuz I don’t require any privacy around my “private” photos. But I assume that pretty much all of them are just curious/browsing. In my case, RM forces me to keep quite a lot of my photos private even though I don’t want them to be. Trans guys aren’t allowed to show our “hard ons” (strap-ons) publicly.
