I noticed this too when I was recently in England. My only hypothesis is that maybe Englishmen get better social services than immigrants so the immigrants make up the difference by charging more (and there is enough of an exoticness that they get clients who will pay). Also maybe the English are used to the pound being much stronger than it is currently. 150 pounds is about $180 now, but as recently as 2-3 years ago is was more like $200 or even $225. Same though to a lesser extent with the Euro. Perhaps the more recent arrivals know more about exchange rates and charge according to what they would be paid in the US or Europe. Ah, Brexit!

I did do a bartering situation for an escort once for a free session. Didn't pay in cash but got him some special Colorado goodies. It was his idea to exchange a session for such a thing. We've developed a pretty good friendship overall and he definitely gives me extra time during all our sessions. I always give him an extra bit of tip as well and I pay for things like dinners and theater shows so it kind of works out in the end.

His look is interesting..kind of an 80s yuppie dork thing going on..someone who summers in Cape Cod or something .

I would say as long as you are not having any major side effects and you're not seeing any liver or kidney damage, stick with Truvada. For one, Gilead is a kind of terrible company, charging insane amounts for a drug use that they did not develop. Their whole thing with Descovy is to keep the gigantic PReP profits once Truvada goes generic by getting everyone to use the "safer" drug. The one meta-study I found about Tenofovir (the component of Truvada that may damage the liver) showed a significant but very small percentage (less than 1 percent) of those taking the medicine got liver damage with the vast majority of them being coinfected with hepatitis. See: https://www.catie.ca/en/catienews/2016-02-10/does-tenofovir-cause-liver-injury/ Slight kidney impairment may also occur but was also very moderate and mostly effected those who already had kidney impairment of some kind (see: https://www.sfaf.org/collections/beta/new-research-at-croi-2016-how-prep-changes-kidney-function/) This is why those of us taking Truvada are monitored for kidney and liver function. If there are any issues, then yeah, Discovey may be better. But if not, just keep taking Truvada and start using the much cheaper generic version as soon as possible so we can stop giving too much of our money to Gilead's shareholders.

I think volatility of the stock market is actually a pretty rational response to Trump's irrational economic plans. His random tariffs simultaneously help some companies while hurting others so they become kind of a wash. His corporate tax cuts were great overall, but the profit effect of them is now wearing off for many companies. International events also are sometimes good and sometimes bad for different companies (Brexit, China's currency manipulation, Iran oil disruptions) and Trump's response is so random, company's have a hard time catching up. Same to be said for the Federal Reserve...which is having to lower interest rates at time of very low unemployment. That is quite unusual and sends very mixed messages to the stock market (low rates are good but does this mean we're about to have a recession?). The fact that the yield curve has inverted is also a bit scary but also hard to assess short-term. It's not a conspiracy..it's the market trying to figure out how the fuck to respond to a irrational president who doesn't really know what he is doing along with international events that one can barely make heads or tails of.

I did do a small deposit for a well-reviewed escort in London on a recent trip. I wanted to do an overnight and completely understood from his perspective that committing that much time to some random American messaging you is also a bit of an off proposition. His rate overall was quite good and I really had no problem paying a small deposit. And in the end it worked out quite well..got to have a great night in his nice apartment with a balcony overlooking the Thames, a sauna and pool in the building and company. Sure it was a risk, but if it for some reason didn't work, I would've only been out I think something like $75. But mostly I will not likely make deposits unless it's a situation like that where I'm asking for a lot of time for a particularly well-reviewed escort that I feel would follow-through on his end.

I would suggest meeting in person in public first. If he is staying at a hotel then the hotel bar is perfect. Or if you're planning on hosting, a nearby bar or coffeeshop works great. Communication is key. Say that you're a nervous first timer and appreciate his patience with meeting in person first. If he is being too hesitant or a jerk about it, that is a big red flag. Of course do remember that you are giving him a donation for his time only, so do expect that the public visit is part of the time that you're spending with him and expect to compensate him for it. In many cases, you can quite quickly suss out his character in person and most likely will be quickly ready to take it to the next level. If you do feel weird about how he's acting or if he maybe looks quite a bit different than his pictures, you can maybe cut it short and just give him the compensation for his time and leave. Definitely do not pay any fees up front or give him any information that would be too personally identifiable. Often I will leave my wallet and ID in the car and just have the cash for the session on me and my password locked phone. If hosting, I put away my wallet, bills and computer. Once you build trust, it's fine. Do remember there is a fine line between caution and paranoia. Most likely he is just getting into this business and may be as nervous as you are. Relax and have a good time. 99 percent of the time you'll be comfortable with each other once you meet in person.

I saw an escort actually go into Rent.men and set this up once right after a session. They actually can choose how long they want to be available. But of course many forget they put it on or whatever. It's actually not the same thing as "online now," which of course means they were logged into their Rent.men account. They can show it as available or not regardless of if they are actually logged in.

There a few different types available at dispensaries in Colorado as well. I know of this one but there are many more: https://www.nativerootsdispensary.com/content/sensual-lube

It's been a mixed bag for me. I had one provider contact me when I changed my travel location to Las Vegas. He was very aggressive with several messages even though I hadn't even looked at his page. When I did, he messaged me several more and then blocked my as a "time waster" for simply asking a few basic questions. But I've had a couple contact me in Denver and it's been generally okay. Hooked up with some, passed on others. Oddly, I had one do so recently only to not reach me after messaging him back. Maybe he got busy.

James Stevens is an absolute gentleman. So is Gianni. Very nice guys...although honestly almost every guy I've ever been with has been pretty nice.

I usually do hour sessions, but honestly do like to do longer ones on occasion so I could get a more BFE with the guy. I had a really nice evening session in London, which was great because I didn't know anyone there and got a nice time to see the city from a resident, have some hot fun from an apartment overlooking the Thames and then after even enjoy a nice sauna in his building. To me it can be worth the extra money. Almost would rather do a longer session once a month than two short sessions every paycheck.

I do not seek out PNP at all, but I was with an escort once who was on it while we were together and honestly didn't even notice it. We had a multi-hour session and I only realized when he started to use again as our night was ending and he was about to go out to try and meet with more clients. At first I was a little weirded out, but he explained that he has ADHD and it helps him both focus more on the client and to stay up all night so he can work longer. He explained that he had smoked meth just a few minutes before I met up with him, but I had no idea that he was on any substances at all except cigarettes. I did try meth one time and know it's not something for me, but I am not going to judge others for their choices. It's probably likely that many of us clients have hired escorts who were on meth or other substances and we didn't even know it. @Kurtis Wolfe ...I was going to suggest Gay Lesbian Medical Association, (http://www.glma.org/) an organization a good friend is a part of who help train and advocate health professionals to learn about LGTBQ medical issues. They did a big study on the health effects of meth on the LGTBQ population about a decade ago that is still used be medical professionals. But actually I think Dance Safe is probably a better organization that more directly helps the LGBTQ population. I'd go with them too.

All I am trying to say is that the way you present yourself is likely costing you clients in general. You're right I am never going to hire you because of the way you talk about your clients. But there are now probably another dozen or so on this forum who are probably also not going to hire you for the same reason. The fact that you significantly edited both your original post and the title of this thread shows that you probably too understand how your messaging may be alienating to your clientele.

I think the first time it pays to maybe do a longer session..90 minutes or two hours. I did that the first time and it helped with the nerves. We met at the hotel bar he was staying at, had a drink and conversation for a bit and then went up to his room. It's worth the extra money to make sure you have the time to feel comfortable with him. There is also a nice safety in meeting the provide in public. Then once you get used to hiring, 1 hours sessions are just fine.

@Mocha I do understand what you are saying. I am sure it is frustrating from the provider perspective dealing with us clients who can be flaky and inconsiderate. I see that you are coming to Denver soon, but from my perspective, I would not be inclined to hire you because of the way you talk about clients and the way it appears you have a lot of hoops you make clients go through. The same weekend you are here, I have two semi-regulars visiting Denver and they are the ones going to get my business over you because I don't want to deal with a provider with such a negative attitude towards clients (even though it is probably often justified). I don't say this to antagonize you. I think you often add a thoughtful discussion to this forum and probably do a great job for many fo your clients. But I am probably not the only potential client who is turned off by the way you decide to present yourself both on this forum and in your Rent.Men ad. Maybe it's worth it to you to avoid those flaky clients that you have to deal with, but I also feel it's quite likely that you're losing business in the process. But best of luck with whatever you are trying to do.

Totally agree. Him and his best bud Gael Garcia Bernal are both very good looking to me. And seeing their homoerotic roles in Y Tu Mama Tambien, I always wondered if maybe they messed around a bit together in real life.

You're actually getting things confused. Lashana Lynch is actually going to play 007, not James Bond. The novels and previous movies both established that the 007 code name has been held by agents before Bond and there are also other numeric code names (00 means you have a license to kill). Apparently Lynch will be playing the newest iteration of 007 after James Bond retires in the newest film (https://www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/film-tv/a28419248/new-james-bond-007-lashana-lynch/), but James Bond will remain played by Daniel Craig and will assuredly come back into action at some point. Also as someone else pointed out Thor actually has been Jane Foster in the comics before and there have been at least five other Thors as well. The original story of Thor actually had a disabled medical student named Donald Blake become Thor after finding Mjolnir although that was later retconned. But there have been many times where the original Thor has been incapacitated or otherwise unable to wield Mjolnir and another Thor has been in his place. In both cases, there has been long established continuity that women could play both 007 and Thor. So I feel people upset about this are likely more upset at the supposed "political correctness" involved than any connection to the established background of both characters.

Definitely all true. I actually did review him on the local escort web site in England that he uses. He actually said he would prefer I not review him on Daddy Reviews.

No, but he has been posting in Denver for a while and seems like a handsome and nice guy. Not my type, but definitely worth a shot if he's yours.

Yes..I actually love having lots of touching and cuddling with escorts, especially this guy who was shaved/waxed smooth and was absolutely wonderful to touch head to toe. But in retrospect, I should've have never offered to top. Probably about 80 percent of the time when I am with escorts, I just bottom and am fine with that, but for some reason I felt like topping him in that moment. I do think my initial conversations with him (I had specifically said I was vers because I do top a lot more in my dating life), should have led him to being prepared as he too advertised as a versatile. So I think there was just a communication issue with this particular escort.

James/Virgil is great. Just met him recently when was in Denver last week. We met last winter in Denver as well, because he actually testified in Denver to support a gay conversion therapy ban for minors. He is such a great advocate for this issue and his personal story so powerfully shows why gay conversion is harmful and should be made illegal.

I did meet with him. Daddy Review Matt Muck.

No...I spent a solid 4 hours with him that included a massage, full-service fun and some time in his sauna, plus drinks and dinner. He did have very good massage skills though.

I had a great massage with Daniel in a recent trip to London. He's based in Vauxhall/Nine Elms. https://ukgayescort.com
