Well obviously the whole state vs state thing. Americans have a lot of (often misguided IMO) loyalty to their states. It would be like a competition not only amongst the singers but of talent vs people just voting for their home states. I think if they do this, they need to specifically organize it so that big states go against other big states and small vs small at the beginning. You don't want Texas vs Vermont, you want Texas vs California and Wyoming vs Vermont. That way it could be more about talent than just whatever states have the most people winning automatically.

Definitely true...Denver has gotten much more expensive too and absolutely it is often hard to support oneself on escorting alone. And traveling escorts have to support substantial travel costs which often means at least 2-3 clients a day just to make the trip worth it. That's why even though I like longer sessions, I either work with the provider to find a good donation they are comfortable with or just go for the one-hour so they can get to other clients they need.

I'm sorry that these things have happened to you. Although it puts into perspective some of the guys that I have hired that bring their own lube, water bottle, etc. My inclination is to sometimes say, next time we can use my lube or whatever. But I will not think twice as it might be more that they are being cautious, especially if it is a first time experience.

There is no washing machine at the beach house? Plain sheets wouldn't take very long to wash to get any gunk off. The only other thing might be to get one of those plastic mattress covers you get when you're moving. Here is one available on Amazon. Maybe you could put the towel or whatever on top of that so it's still somewhat comfortable.

I think think this is pretty right on. If you're doing this with a regular that you have chemistry with and enjoy each other's company, they will often give you a better deal. I just did an overnight for my birthday with this couple that escorts (both separately and together) and they only charged me $1000, plus actually brought like snacks, drinks and a birthday present.I did buy dinner but it was definitely a good deal and we all had some amazing fun too.

I'm sorry to hear that. I don't think you could've done anything else. Some clients are really just assholes and put their hang-ups on the guys they hire. Not sure where you're located, but if I ever spot you where I am, I will likely look you up. Could always use a great massage from a handsome man.

I like your Just for fans site. I actually have subscribed to it off an on (I usually only subscribe to two to three guys at a time). I think the content on there is hot. Definitely you could do some interesting tutorials or videos. Maybe talk a bit about gardening, culture, prepping for fun. It really could be anything. I think the explicit stuff is going to be your bread and butter, but I can also see mixing in some other content so you're not having to constantly produce that. Personally I've always liked the collaborations you've done with many guys that I like and even have been with like Sherman Maus and Boulevard Man. All of that stuff I fine very hot. Thanks for all that you do. I once tried to meet up with you but ended up not working. Hope we can cross paths sometime in the future.

Yeah I think the immigrant escorts are pretty vulnerable to abuse. The escort I was talking about is here on a legal visa, but certainly if it came down to his word against a US citizen in some kind of legal matter, I have a feeling I know what would happen on most cases.

Guy has it pretty explicitly (no pun intended) laid out on the Gallery thread: No Erections! No Assholes! No Penetration! No Masturbation! No Simulated Sex! No Pedophilia! No Necrophilia! No Bestiality! No Xylophilia!

Yeah, he has only been doing this since April so I think he probably is not as good as screening and stuff as he could be. He actually was fairly skeptical at my text, asking if I was police. So maybe his learning. And he did say to me as I left that he is glad that there were clients like me willing to listen and be friendly. He has been away from his family for more than a year and has no idea when he'll be able to go back home. So I think it was nice for him just to have someone to talk to and listen to what's been going on with him. I told him to hold onto my number and I'd be glad to meet him again if he ever made it back in town. Hopefully Denver and his next few cities will treat him well and he'll have more positive experiences.

Interestingly, this topic came up with a recent guy I hired from South America. He is traveling around the country escorting because the company that hired him and sponsored his visa actually went out of business right as COVID happened. I took him out to dinner and he said that I was only client so far that has offered to do that with him. Now that could be COVID related too, but he said that a lot of the clients he's had have been bad. One he caught trying to spike his drink with something (probably G). Another one pressured him to do PNP even though he had never done it before. Several have complained about his height (he is only 5'8") even though he accurately described that on his profile. Another complained about his accent and stiffed him some of the donation, saying, "You're lucky I don't call immigration on you." I felt bad for the kid. He's only in his mid-20s and came to America for a job only to go to escorting. He did say that the majority of the clients have been fine...just a regular session and then they were gone. But a definite sizable minority have according to this guy, treated him just terribly. He said he is probably going to only do this for a few more months. While this is just one escort (and a relative newbie as well), other escorts have told me similar stories, especially about the drugs. One regular of mine said he stopped doing overnight sessions because they were almost always all-night PNP sessions and he really doesn't like doing drugs. But even when he has told them he's not into that, he said many guys will threaten to cancel unless he partakes and then he loses the $1500 or whatever. I won't say I've always been a perfect client, but definitely we could all do a lot better at treating the guys we hire in a respectful way and not pressuring them to do things they don't want to.

The admins really don't make very much money from this site at all. It's mostly sustained through membership donations. And it's not like anybody is censoring your opinion on here. There are just people who are disagreeing with what you are saying. I think open, honest conversations like that are what make a forum stronger.

I'm definitely interested in getting to one of these events. Hopefully we can at some point!

I think you have to figure out your reasons for the vegan diet. For me it's not health but environment. Beef, dairy, and pork are all terrible for the environment. But surprisingly so can soybeans if they are imported since they are one of the biggest crops responsible for the deforestation of the Amazon. Palm oil, which is in a ton of packaged baked goods is also bad for the environment for the same reason. Rainforests are chopped down in Indonesia and the Philipines for palm trees. But goats are actually pretty good for the environment since they can graze on even wastelands and produce very little methane. There is a local Colorado producer of goat cheese, so I feel pretty comfortable getting cheese from them since the environmental impact is fairly low.

I am also mostly vegan. I pretty much cook vegan at home and occasionally eat non-vegan when going out just because it tends to me much easier. I also am Mexican and it's very hard for me to say no to my mom's enchiladas or green chili (neither of which are vegan). I have used a lot of tofu in my cooking. Trader Joe's has these smaller firm tofu with sriracha and teriyaki flavorings that I think taste pretty good and add some substantial feeling to any meal. I also eat a lot of meals that really just don't require meat at all. Pasta with marinara sauce or a vegetable stir fry over rice. These are satisfying to me and I usually don't even think of the lack of meat. From a nutritional standpoint, pretty much the only nutrient that is very hard to get on a vegan diet is B12. So either take it in a supplement or eat fortified cereals (you can look for it specifically in the nutritional guidelines). It does take a while to develop a B12 deficiency, but I did after a few years with this diet and it actually caused a bit of nerve damage with a pins-and-needles feeling at my extremities. Fortunately it was caught early before much damage occurred and now I take a regular one-a-day multivitamin with B12 and it's been fine since then.

My other problem with Amazon is the enormous wealth it has created for Jeff Bezos. A lot of people don't understand that $1 billion is an insane amount of money and $180 billion is even more so. It really is just unfathomable that one person has that much money. And like the taxes on Amazon are so minuscule compared to its profits. If we had reasonable 25% taxes on Amazon (and other billionaires and corporations) like we do on regular working stiffs, we could really do so much with that money. Have much better schools, house a lot of the homeless, universal medical care for all Americans, etc.

I wonder if it be worth looking at therapy. I once lived in Washington DC and had a real hard time making friends and dating in that town. It felt a lot of people were more into networking than making friendships or relationships based on mutual interests. It was the loneliest time in my life and do believe I feel into somewhat of a depression. Even once I left DC, I had a dark mood for a while, but going to therapy really helped. Cognitive behavioral therapy in particular. I had a good therapist that worked with me to understand negative thought patterns and develop more positive thinking. It helped me develop better relationships as well. With escorts, I know that it's obviously a transactional relationship but they can be healthy, positive ones. Something to consider anyway.

What kind of home do you live in? If you had a backyard, you could probably be fine just walking the dog yourself back there if you had COVID if the worry is simply about infecting others. It can be a rough illness but the vast majority of people do not have to go to the hospital and you should be able to basically care for you dog if you had a backyard. I'm sure the pup would want longer walks but it would probably be okay without them for a couple weeks. Might consider smaller dogs that don't require as much walking. Of course you might have to go to the hospital with COVID, but you might have to go to the hospital for a lot of things. I think if you had a couple of friends who could step in to watch the dog temporarily if something happened, that would be the best option. You can give them a key to your place and they can pick up the dog. As long as they wore a mask and washed their hands really well, it wouldn't be super likely they would get COVID.

I feel if someone just compiled all the bits of advice @@Benjamin_Nicholas has posted throughout the years, you'd actually have a very good start to an ad-hoc beginner's male escort manual.

Prostitution is either decriminalized or legalized or legally tolerated in many parts of Europe and Australia/New Zealand and there are plenty of guys that choose to both hire and work in the industry. When I visited England last year, I'd say there was more diversity and quantity of guys than in many parts of the US. I would actually go the decriminalization route..basically remove all criminal penalties involved in prostitution between consenting adults but not allow things like brothels, pimps and other intermediaries that I think often lead to human trafficking and other issues.

I didn't take any money or anything from him, but I kind of gave some advice and support to a newbie escort in Denver. He was from Mexico and could speak English fine but his profile had numerous spelling and grammatical errors and was just not appealing in a lot of ways. He also priced his services really high for a newer escort without reviews and didn't really seem like he had a good grasp on how to appeal to clients. I kind of made an off-hand comment about how business was going so far and when he said it was pretty slow, I offered to help. He did improve his profile and things like that, but unfortunately this was right before COVID hit and I think he decided not to continue in the biz.

I hired one time and realized it was a someone I had met once before and shared many mutual friends and acquaintances. We ended up meeting a couple of times and actually he was a lot of fun. But of course you have to be very discreet and cautious. We actually met another time in public at an event organized by a mutual friend and I let him be introduced to me as if I never met him. It was kinda awkward but also sort of fun. I'd love to meet him again but I think he stopped escorting after the whole COVID thing though.

I've also found that because they copy ads, a lot of ads on Frienboy are quite old. I know of at least 4 guys listed in Denver that have definitely moved or are no longer escorting.

Yeah everything I read is just really bad for Nissans generally and Altimas in particular. I guess they are one of the cheapest new cars, which is why rental car companies buy them in droves, but they do not hold up well and are not very stylish or fun to drive.

That seems about right. I definitely think it makes the most business sense to be top, vers-top, or vers. I consider myself vers, but it's very easy to find bottoms on Grindr when I want to do that. It's much harder to find good tops.
