Me too. He advertised on and off for a while (from Bakersfield!) but I haven't seen any ads for him since the start of the pandemic.

Regarding Billy Santoro, wasn't he boyfriends with fellow pornstar Seth Santoro for quite some time? I'm sure they used to advertise as a couple. I ask because I find Seth to be super hot, and he's long been on my wish list. I'd hate to find out that he, too, is a jerk like Billy.

Following the facebook page link gave me this: https://onlyfans.com/mariohervas O.M.G.!!! THANKS GUYS!!!

I could watch this guy's clips all day and night! Anyone know who he is or if he can be found anywhere else on the internet?

Figuratively. I meant it figuratively. OK? Give me a break.

Sheesh! I didn't mean it literally. But I do see article after article about what a force they've become and how they have more projects in production at any given time than the major studios. They (and all the other streaming services) also have the industry trade unions squirming.

I always thought this beauty had the ultimate bee-stung lips. The late, great Matt Gunther.

I agree completely with this. And it harkens back to one of my questions: If one were to cancel their Netflix subscription over an issue like this, how does Netflix know that's the reason? (Not that they'd care, I'm sure.) Another point. At some point, even THE IRISHMAN will be bumped off the menu and added to the 'what's leaving this month' list. As a semi-collector, there are a few titles I like to own on Blu-Ray or DVD so that they are ALWAYS available to me when I want. Perhaps someone has a collection of Scorcese movies or Cohen Bros. movies. In the new streaming universe, this option of owning physical media will be going away, just like the option of seeing a movie on a big screen theater. Another decision Netflix, et al. have made for us. I don't like it. I don't see why we can't have it ALL.

Another question I ponder about this new Netflix working model. If THE IRISHMAN, for instance, is just another tile on the vast Netflix menu, how do they gauge it's value / success / failure? If someone signs on to Netflix just because they want to see THE IRISHMAN (for instance), how does Netflix know? It will pretty much always be there (and nowhere else) just like another episode of Pokemon. Until it's not. Then where does it go?

THAT'S a different problem with today's Hollywood...

If an escort ever asks me for my stats and pic, here it is...

Just had the 'privilege' of seeing this on the big screen in LA. I feel bad for those who have to settle for watching this epic on Netflix at home with even a decent big screen TV. It's just not the same. I'm really not liking the way Netflix is shaking up the Hollywood business model.

For me, he's one (of many) porn stars who look so hot in pictures, but when you see them in action on screen they're oddly mechanical and 'by-the-numbers' while doing the deed. As an escort, I always figure if they're that disengaged while doing another hot porn star in front of a camera for decent (?) money, there's slim chance of them enjoying being with an average Joe like me.

This is EXACTLY why I, as a potential client, think it is a TERRIBLE practice. Similarly, if it looks like someone from my town whom I was interested in has 'moved' to Fuknott, Alaska (for instance), I'm apt to write them off and move on to other ads. (Even though I find out later they were only visiting that other town.) The fact that the 'location icon' causes so much confusion seems to me reason enough to clearly state your travel dates in the body of the ad.

I see this ALL THE TIME with traveling escorts on Rentmen. Very confusing to potential clients, and I would think very counter-productive.

When I was a young buck working retail I had nice young ladies and lecherous old men hitting on me all the time. I was too young, stupid and naive to pick up the signals.

Now that Netflix owns Hollywood, and every studio is now trying to emulate their streaming business model, I wonder about the life cycle of a new movie. It used to be: 1. Theatrical release > 2. Release to BluRay > 3. Release to cable pay channels such as Showtime and HBO > 4. Release to 'general' cable stations like TBS and play in heavy rotation > 5. Release to free over-the-air TV channels. Now that Netflix produces their own content, they've pretty much stripped the public of an opportunity to see their movies on the big screen. (Except in certain cities, for certain 'special' movies, for limited time frames.) But once the movie is no longer new and special, and it's pushed off stage by the next big thing, where does it go? The Netflix graveyard? And once it hits the "What's leaving Netflix this month" lists, is that it? Never to be seen again on another platform? Not even DVD or BluRay?? Will THE IRISHMAN, for instance, end this way? Same questions apply for the forthcoming HBO+ streaming service which will be owned and run by Warner Brothers. I'm not liking this new world!

You just answered a question I had. No Aussie accent?! :-(

bump

Did I imagine this, or wasn't he supposed to relocate to the west coast at some point? He travels so much, but his stays are usually so incredibly brief that it makes it hard to set anything up.

His RM ad now indicates Mobile, AL as his home base. Did he move?? What a waste!

After playing around with it, I've deduced that the first few guys I "zoomed in" on just happened to all be in the downtown LA area by coincidence. I still liked it better before, when you didn't have to zoom in and a general neighborhood came up automatically.

I've been able to zoom in and re-position the map with no trouble. My point was, before one didn't have to zoom in. And, yes I can zoom in, but to where? If I don't know the general vicinity of town where the guy is located, I'm zooming into...nothing.

It seems to me that up until recently, when you mapped a guy on Rentmen you got a reasonably specific area of town. I.e., in LA, I've seen some show up in the downtown area, mid-Wilshire, Beverly Hills, Valley, etc. Now, all I ever get is a broad, wide map of all of LA, even for guys in WeHo. And zooming in doesn't help. Something's changed.

Thanks to you all, guys. This is exactly the kind of insight I was looking for. :-)
