Consent is important. I would ask him about the morning thing in particular. Personally I usually have to piss really bad when I wake up so that would not be appealing to me. But definitely you should be able to have a few rounds of sex. To me it's not necessarily asking each time so much as we just start getting into my kissing and getting more physical. But of course if there is something you want to do specifically, just ask.

Do: Make it a provider that you have already met and have a good connection with. Don't: Try someone new. Do: Find a mutually enjoyable activity(ies) that you can do with your provider. Something as simple as a movie or dinner or perhaps a play, comedy show, art exhibit, etc. Don't: Allow yourself to be pressured into doing things you're not comfortable with just because it's a longer session. Sometimes providers can get a bit too comfortable with drugs, alcohol, sexual, etc. Set firm boundaries about that and if the provider does not respect your wishes, I think it's perfectly okay to pay him for the time spent but to cut off the session early.

Looking at this, it's clear that they are using the facial recognition software and cross-referencing it to Rent.men. So basically the advice really should be do not use face photos at all on Rent.men. Perhaps you can share pics with prospective clients over a secure channels like WhatsApp, but it's clear that Rent.men has been compromised and the pics on there are no longer safe from the eyes of the US (and probably foreign) governments.

Yikes! Yeah my advice would be to not post any travel any longer on the forum or on Rent.men. Probably both client and provider TBH.

I hate needles so the pills will be fine for me. But a good alternative to people who maybe have a hard time consistently taking their medication.

I agree with the pros. It's the provider's duty to keep track of time. I always do an extra $20 almost always but if a provider demands more money because we went "over" that's really on him not me. It had happened a couple of times and in one case he got kind of aggressive with me. But all I had was the money I had so 🤷‍♂️. In all cases, I am very upfront with time and money that we both agree on. I would like 2 hours at $500 or whatever. That's what I pay at the end unless we mutually agree otherwise during the session. Not at the end because oops it went over.

I feel like Denver is kind of rough lately. A lot of former reliable regulars have stopped escorting for the time being and a lot of the new guys are either flakey or expensive or both. Personally I think you might weirdly have better long contacting people the day before or even the day off. And also multiple guys. This weekend, I contacted 5, only two messaged me back in time and one of them wanted a very high amount for his time. I'm trying to find another great Denver regular, but no luck. I'll definitely let you know if I do though.

I think if you have zero interest in other guys then that's a good thing and you really probably don't need to hire or open anything up at this point. Relationships change though and maybe at some point you (or your partner or both of you) will want to open it up in some way. That could be months or years or might never happen. In some ways I feel like masseurs would a better way of opening it up. I guess there is the stigma of hiring a sex worker, but I also feel like such relationships are more temporary and transactional and not likely to result in developing feelings (though that can sometimes happen too). Anyway good luck with your new relationship. I'm kinda in one too and we'll see where it goes and what this means with hiring. I'm not sure yet either.

Even now that I am a more experienced bottom, I would say that anal still hurts some. It almost always hurts for me right at the first penetration I think because my sphincter has to relax and get used to the dick. After that it's more pleasure than pain though sometimes it can still hurt a bit...almost in a pleasurable way actually. The biggest difference between an actual dick and a dildo is the human being involved. I actually really enjoy seeing someone enjoying my hole and love watching their sexy body on top of mine and hearing their moans. The way another guy fucks is also more unpredictable and not controlled by you, so that makes it hotter than a dildo that you are controlling.

Yeah, I may just have to wait. I had kind of a short window because I had a CD mature in September so didn't really have the money until this month. Oh well. I guess I'll try at the newer rate. I am planning 10K so it'll still be a decent payout.

Yeah unfortunately I had to give up on it. It wouldn't let me make a new account after several days of trying. Oh well.

Damn that sucks that some people are such assholes to providers. It's like even if the deposit thing isn't for you, just move on instead of messing with you. That really sucks Jarrod.

I'm having such difficulty with the web site. I keep getting kicked out. I guess this has been too popular.

This is truly an incredible loss to this community. I remember meeting Epigonos at the PS event two years ago and he was such an incredibly funny, generous and kind man. I probably ended up talking to him more than anyone at the events. I specifically remember him sitting next to me at the dinner when I was at a table by myself. What a loss. Let's keep his memory alive here in this community.

Hmm...that definitely does seem like you have to be paying rent for that to apply. For a long time, Denver had a rule that prohibited more than two unrelated people from living together and that included "guests" that weren't paying rent. But they recently changed that law in the last election to allow up to five unrelated adults to live together. So maybe something changed in the language when that happened...not sure.

In Denver, it's 30 days. After that you are legally considered a tenant unless you are a family member.

In terms of bringing it back to finances/investing, any advice on weathering bad economic times? I did just put 5K into a 3.5% CD. Considering doing another 5K in I-bonds maybe? Anything else?

It's looking more and more like a global recession is inevitable. Europe definitely is going to have a rough couple years. I think the US economy is actually relatively strong compared to many others. But probably we're in for at least a mild recession to push back against inflation.

But there really is no way to know whether one is going to have these complications or not. Certainly there are risk factors, but a lot of them might not be known until you actually get sick. Again, if someone like Nick Cordero can die from COVID, anyone can die from COVID.

I think saying everyone who has died of COVID-19 had pre-existing conditions is speculation, not science. Or it's practically pointless. Nick Cordero was by all accounts a healthy 41-year old man who was a Broadway dancer so likely in incredible shape for his age. Yet he died of COVID-19 without any apparent pre-existing conditions. Someone like Nick Cordero might not seem like someone at risk of a bad case of COVID, but he clearly did. And if he could die of COVID, I really don't think we have any clue of who else would be at risk. Unfortunately Nick got COVID before the vaccine. But the evidence is clear that COVID vaccines lower the rate of hospitalizations and deaths. That's not a risk I'm willing to take.

One of the reasons why people are dying of COVID-19 is because many patients develop blood clots. In fact, many people with long-COVID may actually have residual "micro-clots" that cause their lingering symptoms. There is probably some truth that for many people COVID is just a cold, but many people, including many healthy people (Michael Cordero had no pre-existing conditions according to his wife), do get these blot clots that can be very dangerous. And it doesn't seem to me that it's very easy to tell who might be susceptible to experiencing these blood clots and who might not be.

Covid-19 killed Broadway star Nick Cordero. He was only 41 and "a healthy, young man with no pre-existing conditions dying as a result of the virus." There are also many more Americans with obesity than we realize. According to the CDC, it's 41% of Americans who are obese. Personally, I don't feel the government should force anyone to do anything to their bodies. But I feel it should be strongly encouraged to take the vaccine.

I agree with you here. One nice thing about the old version is that you could actually do a pretty good estimate of the number of escorts in a city. I actually occasionally decided to visit a city based on this metric alone. Like I saw that Atlanta had multiple pages of escorts so decided to visit there over some other cities I was considering. The new version makes that harder to assess.

I have been on both sides of this. I was very broke for most of my 20s and definitely had friends help pay for things like expensive celebration dinners and whatnot. One of them for a friend's bachelor party that had a $500 per person dinner that I definitely could not afford at the time. He told me simply that he appreciated all the talks we had when he was first dating his now wife and he wanted me at the dinner whether I could afford it or not. I definitely appreciated it. Now that I am slightly more comfortable (though still not rich by any means), I try to repay the favor. Because I came out kind of late in life, I have some younger gay friends (like late 20s, early 30s) that I met as I was just exploring gay bars, drag shows, etc. I really value their company and have definitely bought them tickets to concerts that we would both like. Sometimes they are hesitant to accept but I tell them I want to go with someone who would appreciate the shared experience and they gracefully accept the tickets. I think of it as repaying for the times I was the one accepting the gifts.
