hypothetically

If you go to Support in the settings, it’ll tell you the status of their servers, from there you’ll be able to tell if it’s a Grindr problem or if it’s an issue with your phone. Or your WiFi is dodgy. Grindr is always funny with poor connections.

Both have their perks. I enjoy my regulars that I get to see when our travel schedules align. The familiarity in another setting makes for something special. But there will always exist the allure of a new connection.

I would say "close, but no cigar" ...but, not even close.

I audibly laughed. I wasn’t expecting that HERE, at all.

lol, who said that? The question was have you, would you consider? Quote the part where someone kicked off why escorts shouldn't be included in the will. I never said escorts belonged in the will. I just find it fascinating when "humanitarians" come out the woodwork telling other people what they should do with their money. I agree, what a more level-headed decision, but if being a humanitarian is your prerogative, let it be your prerogative. Don't scold others for their financial choices because it is a financial choice you are unable to make or because it doesn't align with your moral compass.

Please share all of the receipts for the charitable donations you've made to organizations fighting world hunger over recent years.

LOL! YUP.

And things like that happen more often than people think. There is zero benefit to giving a client your name, there are, however, disadvantages to doing so. Even if only a first name, it's a small world. A name and a verbal description go a long way for someone trying to put two and two together.

Don’t knock it until you try it Sounded boring to me too but it has aided me, when I needed it. But ultimately, it comes down to what works best for you. No harm in exploring. I’m listening to this playlist now. I grew up in the country and miss the winters there, so sounds like this trigger nostalgia for me and help me to relax sometimes.

I personally use Spotify’s streaming platform as they offer an array of options and playlist. I’ve never liked using YouTube as the visuals are distracting, and a lot ot of the creations are whimsical, defeating the whole purpose of what is to be a very simple and therapeutic exercise.

Thats not what I said but if that was your takeaway....you’re simple minded. Congratulations.

However you want to spin it, the person you hire someone to be and the person they are outside the confines of your arrangement do not correlate. It may seem "silly," but it really is necessary for some escorts to mentally check in and out by using something as simple as a fake name. Blurring the lines of professional and personal in this industry isn't healthy for everyone.

Thank you for pointing that out. It happens rather often and I don't take it personal because some clients prefer to take the long way around, pass up on authentic opportunities, and as I mentioned in another thread, play "hysteria ping pong" amongst one another instead of listening to someone who knows the business from the inside. It's not productive but that's a them problem, not a me problem. The takeaway, from a lot of these threads is that the OP never had any intention of booking the escort in question, but instead raises a suspicion out of spite, resentment or an insecurity. People piggyback off of speculation and the question is never actually answered. So the escort in question is usually labeled as "fake" because a mob of people who have never met him agree he is suspicious. Logical.

Bummer, I'm actually sad to hear you didn't enjoy it. I would've loved to make some recommendations. Per @Benjamin_Nicholas's point, the hotels are dated and run down. It's definitely a city you ONLY AirBnB in and there are some beautiful properties available for about the same cost of a dingy hotel. Unless you're really looking to unplug and just enjoy the beach or unless you're going for pride, it can be a rather meaningless destination. The men are some of the most beautiful I've met of any country, and the hookup scene is hot..the escort catalogue, not so much.

Reckless, period.

I’m an escort who gets checked like clockwork, I assure you, I don’t need the education. lol. I just think it’s interesting how comments are made, similar to that of @studchaser insinuating having unprotected sex with a sex worker is “Looney Toons” (I assume he means high risk). Having sex with ANYONE is high risk. If anything, the sex workers, at least in the cities I work in are the ones prioritizing their health, getting tested regularly, are aware of their statuses, etc. Cities are even adapting programs specifically for escorts to ensure they are squared away in these areas. It is the irresponsible client who is not taking responsibility for his own health. An escort takes more risk sleeping with a client who is not tested regularly than a client does sleeping with an escort who is. I detest that this always fall on the escort. When the situation is usually a client asking us “are you on PrEP,” not because he is also, but because he wants safety in verbalization, only. It is irresponsible, as are statements placing the blame on us, while refusing to take accountability for one’s own high risk decisions. And it happens all the time. “But I have a wife.” (Women carry STI’s also, and what it your wife is doing what you’re doing?) “My other provider was tested recently.” (But were you?) “Had sex recently but we didn’t finish.” “I don’t do this often, we’re good.” “Are you clean?” (Clean should never be used in a sexual context, it insinuates that persons living with HIV are dirty) Etc., etc. The most blatant ignorance I face on a day-to-day basis comes from the mouth of clients, not other escorts.

Then we live in a Warner Bros. goddamn world, my friend....sorry to break it to you.

Clients don’t even like you to discreetly count the money; imagine pulling out a counterfeit bill pen.

I had it listed in my profile, admittedly, rather frivolously..and boy, did I get my ass beat in Berlin one time. Never. Again.

There may have been hustlers offering their services on corners when this site originated but that “scene” is very much extinct in the U.S. To someone’s point above, 2019 “trade” isn’t very tradey at all.

Rapist can’t be 5’8” ? Or a “gay boy” ? Or not “physically intimidating” ? ...I mean you did open with saying you were naive. Yikes.

Well I mean, it is for your ears, not your eyes lol

What a blessing.

Um I actually love this. The handful of times clients have played classical music or jazz for me during a session, completely different experience. Top 40 and techno podcast can be a real erection killer sometimes. “ASMR stands for "Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response." It typically refers to the "tingly feeling" that travels from the head downward that some experience in response to certain sounds, feelings, or descriptions. These can include soft whispering, crinkling paper, or a gentle touch.” Look on YouTube or on a music streaming platform for ASMR playlist. It can be anything from white noise to the sound of someone whispering, used to ease anxiety, depression, insomnia.
