Visiting SF on a business trip in a couple of weeks. 
How much should I expect to pay?

Same as NYC? 400$? 

My favorite well reviewed, popular porn-star escort in San Francisco has an advertised rate of $300 for an hour outcall.  I saw him twice last weekend while he was traveling.

300 not in NYC anymore.

I read in another forum the rate in NYC was down to 200 or 250 😉

I met a traveling NYC escort last weekend that advertises $250/hour in NYC.  I will book with him when I visit NYC in two months.

He is a great kisser, and totally versatile for both oral and anal.

We're just taken aback about how you described him instead of just saying you have an older brother.

He sounds like a jerk

We need to get used to the idea that families, like people, come in all shapes and sizes.  My dad, too, is a wonderful dad who has children that live all over the world. 🌎

It's interesting, and sad, that the people who preach tolerance the loudest are too often the first to judge others who are different, by calling them a "jerk" simply because of for whom they work, for whom they voted, or where their children live.

My father sired 8 children, of which the youngest two boys are gay.

To the tops out there reading this: Don't despair, Maus is very versatile!

A lot of people speculate this. But ironically my mother was very distant growing up, at least to me. My father was the more nurturing parent. 

My father, too, was very present and very nuturing.  My mother was very controlling and narcissistic.  For years I didn't think I was gay solely because I was attracted men; but, rather, I thought it was because I was repelled by the idea of being with a woman such as my mother.  Yuck! 🤢

Interesting!

I wonder if with smaller families less kids will be born gay in the future. 

These studies have only focused on the number of children (fewer children or more children), not their value (less or greater).  😉

To be clear, the gay younger child phenomenon is scientifically observed, but accounts for a very small amount of the cause of being gay.  Having gay relatives on the mother's side of the family is a much larger contributing factor.  Being a younger son increases the odds of being gay only by about 1-3%.  I'm sorry I don't have the article to cite where I read this.

This story was on NPR this afternoon - sorry, I’m traveling and just barely was able to get the title. Perhaps some kind member can post the link.  Interesting story about gays (both men and women) and the frequency of having older brothers. The more older brothers you have, the higher the chance of the youngest male/female being gay. I have two older brothers, both straight.  My gay cousin has 3 older brothers. And several friends all fall in this category. 

I have seen similar stories, and it has to do with the mother's built up resistance to a protein made by the Y chromosome from the previous sons.  Mothers build up antibodies with each male fetus.  The presence of those antibodies in later pregnancies affects the development of the male's brain to become homosexual.

We may know why younger brothers are more likely to be gay

He claims to no longer do escorting. Says his massage is strictly therapeutic.
In one text message, he asked me if I have got coke for him. 

I take the opposite approach.  I tell all my escorts/masseurs/hookups to "close the door so my upstairs roommate won't be disturbed", even when I have no roommates in the house.  For my safety, I like having them think someone else is in the house.

I just wish the neighborhood (the Village) was better -- lots of homeless and drug use on the streets. 

It used to be called The Gay Village, and it was a lot better.  Now, to be more inclusive of all, the authorities removed the discriminatory word "Gay" and allow the urban campers, drug users, and the like.

If you're looking for a rub-with-release, you may or may not find that, but go and be open to something more spiritual and you will leave healed.

This sounds a lot like my pastor... Altough he is sometimes into more than a rub with release 😈

I hired Sherman Maus twice this weekend. My hole can't get enough of him!

Or perhaps "Higher Inflation and Wages Continue".  For perspective. Some will always focus on the negative and ignore the positive.

That title would have worked 2016-2021, when wages were rising faster than inflation; however, not so much for the past 3 years.  Although, 2024 is looking to be a bright spot and the trend may finally reverse.  But, at current wage growth rates it may take a decade of wage growth to bring the wages back up to 2020 purchasing power.  But there's hope... Wage growth rates may increase come next year.

Be sure to add your September report to the newest thread on Barcelona and Thermas:

https://www.companyofmen.org/topic/151289-barcelona-2024/#comment-2284440

I'll add comments of general interested for tourists in Barcelona to the 2024 thread; but, I'll post my observations of Thermas in this one so they can be viewed in context with the valuable decades of Thermas posts that are invaluable to read for a good time visiting this unique men-for-hire sauna.

It was $20 per song and took him 3-4 songs to get there but I tipped him up to a total $100. Other dancers I would start by saying $100 to cum no matter how many songs and most would agree. A dancer at Stock once wanted $300 and I said NO, he eventually agreed to my offer but "only because I'm horny" LOL. I tipped him to make it $150 (he was really hot). 

Back in 2017, I had already had 5 songs with a dancer at Stock or Campus and paid him $100 (Canadian) for those songs.  I asked him if he was available to come to my hotel room after his shift and what it would cost.  He said normally he charged $200 for hotel room visits, but because I had already have him $100 for 5 songs I would only need to pay him another $100 to come back to my room.  I took him up on his offer.

Should this thread be retitled "High Inflation Continues"?

and again last night (Saturday).  I’ve been going to Thermas for at least 15 years and this is the best I’ve ever seen it - in terms of the men.  It has definitely changed for the better imo.  Depends on your taste, but if you like masculine Latino men early 30s, then this is the pace for you.  
It feels like because of the private parties and everyone knows they’re leaving by 10:30p, it’s much busier much earlier.  I got there about 3;30p - by 5p very busy. At 6p it’s packed.  No waiting for rooms because they have so many.  
If I didn’t know exactly where I was, I’d swear it’s a Brazilian sauna in São Paulo. It’s that good without any of the downside. 

The guys who owns Thermas is relatively hands-on and he is visible.  Very handsome man in his 40s.  Whatever he is doing works because the men there are consistently friendly, there is no pressure and they are honest.  And they do what they say they will do & more. I recognized a couple guys from RM and other apps, yet at Thermas they all charge 50euro.  I think it’s a great setting to meet someone & go elsewhere if you want more time.  For me, 4 hours at Thermas is enough and back to hotel.

If you haven’t been, add Barcelona & Thermas to your list. If you indulge in this hobby, it’s a must. 

 

Thanks for the advice!  I'll be sure to arrive by 3:30pm each day for the best selection of boys to hire!

Is somebody being anally penetrated the cross-over point to constituting "a full on escort session" that the OP was looking for? I am interested in the general opinion of the crowd here.

The quoted price point between a great erotic massage and an escort session with the same guy can be considerable.

Anally penetrated by what and for how long?  Penetrated by a vibrator or a finger?... Probably not.   Penetrated by a penis wearing a condom?....I say it doesn't count as sex if there is no skin to skin contact.  Penetrated by a tongue?...I say yes!

Back to subject socializing (getting laid included) is also an important reason to go to college and a fast way to become independent from parents, family, etc. 

If that is the reason for college, then I argue the tuition money would be better spent on hookers.

I had no time to socialize in college.  I worked a part-time job, took a full load of engineering classes, and spent every waking hour doing homework or commuting to work/class from my parents' house where I lived.  I graduated with a useful STEM degree, work experience, and no debt.  I began to socialize when I was finished with college and had time for recreational activities, and a full time job to afford to move away from Mom and Dad.

Spent few days at Canyon Club in Palm Springs.
Here is my review on Tripadvisor.
 

Decent outdoor area, totally unexpected huge 'yard' recreation place, like, a small beautiful park with maze, fountains, tiny pond etc.

Extremely shabby rooms, old,  broken equipment, furniture falling apart, cockroaches, vending machine broken, 'play room' just pathetic.

Place manager 'Jeff' - total, complete a..hole in a bad meaning of the word. Asked for assistance with internet (their wifi works ONLY with Apple device, have no clue how they achieved that) - he started giving me mocking, humiliating and overly polite useless responses, showing he does not give a f<>.

I cancelled my stay and moved to Motel 6 - incomparably better, cleaner and friendlier. And cheaper, two.

 

And...CCBC has the audacity to charge a "resort fee" in addition to their bathhouse...er, "hotel" nightly rates.

Thanks for the help. I actually usually stay there (along with Sorell). It's literally around the corner from the sauna. Not the best breakfast, and they do a pretty bad job of air conditioning (all the souvenir chocolate I bought melted!). But I like the location, and not just for the sauna.

Those might be last-minute prices, but pricing is different if you're planning ahead. The suite prices are a lot more, and I can't do those tiny standard rooms at starting prices. Booking a month out is over $500 a night right now.

For me, it's not about affordability. I can afford the room at $500 rates. It's about the principle. The idea that I can pay half as much for a suite in Barcelona with a comparable sauna makes my decision a lot easier. Instead of going 2-3 times a year, I'm probably going to visit once this year.

 

I stayed at Hotel Scheuble last summer, based entirely on the recommendations from this thread.  I enjoyed my stay.  Housekeeping was provided daily and the room was comfortable.  I paid approximately $250/night for the smallest room, and it was very nice except no view.  (The $500 per night suites are not in my budget)

This year I'll be staying at nearby Hotel Wellenberg when I visit Zurich in October, because I found a rate lower than Hotel Scheuble for a larger King Size bed.  Both last year and this year, I booked these hotel rooms at least 9 months in advance.

I've booked my hotel for Barcelona (September this year) and made sure it's within walking distance to Sauna Thermos.  Thanks for all the great pointers on time of day and day of week to visit to hire the sauna boys!  Can't wait!
