Thanks for everyone's replies. I'm going to continue with the booking but I won't mention that his personal account got suggested to me. (Just hope I don't slip and call him by his real name. 😅) If we end up having a good time that I book him for another meeting while I'm in town, I'll probably mention it then, but only if we feel comfortable with each other's company.

Initially, I felt awkward when his account got suggested to me. (It's his personal account, not a work account.)

Wait, they're back together despite getting thrown in jail for violating a restraining order she had for him?

I am visiting my hometown for two weeks and decided to hire a guy for an evening. I don't know what powers the Zuck has, but not long after I book the guy (using my hiring email/Google Voice number/"naughty" browser [Microsoft Edge]), his personal account shows up on my Instagram. I'm trying to figure out whether I should cancel and tell him why, or tell him so that the ball is on his court. It doesn't look like he runs in the same social circles as my friends back home, so I do not have any problems going through with the meeting if he's comfortable. Providers and clients, what would you do were you in my situation?

My passport only had two months left before it was to expire, and I didn’t submit renewal docs in time. Since leaving the country isn’t important, I decided to stay stateside. My Spanish level isn’t at the level yet that I would be able to distinguish among Latin American “flavors” unfortunately. Although you’re probably right that they tend to swallow their words more than others.

I don’t have an answer to the OP but I’d like to share my experience. The closest I’ve done to a Spanish immersion is the six weeks that I spent in Puerto Rico, working remotely. Great experience, and my command of the language improved because of it. I study Spanish through italki. My first tutor was from Vitoria, then when he stopped offering lessons after a year, I went with a mix of Venezuelan, Mexican, and Colombian tutors. I still lisp at times and say vosotros instead of ustedes, but it’s not a big deal—at least my interlocutor says as much. The most important part of language learning, for me, is forcing yourself to make conversations, irrespective of length and vocabulary. That’s why I could never get behind apps since it’s passive; I’m not being asked to think on my feet. Admittedly, I had to switch to English a few times when I was in Puerto Rico, either by fatigue or I simply did not know enough relevant words to string together a sentence, but at least I got into the zone of thinking and comprehending in Spanish. Aside 1: I learned French from France. While I can talk to the Belgians, Swiss, or Luxembourgers no problem, I have yet to do such with a Quebecois. Aside 2: Do they speak Spanish in the Philippines? @Unicorn your maps have me wondering if Spanish is more than just a lexifier in the country…

I did not go through with my plan to meet him when he was still in NYC. He quoted $400/hour in 2018/19. He has done collaborations with a few OF guys. I don't know how much of his reel performance spills to real life as an escort, but I'm wasn't excited.

Or beerholder 😅

Quite important. I scroll past Rentmen and Grindr/Tinder profiles that don't show their face. They don't have to be Ryan Gosling levels of handsome (because that's unreasonable); a pleasant face with a nice smile are all you need to get my attention.

Back in 2019 I used to go to a sugarer in NYC to get my dick and my crack sugared. The first time was painful but it was understandable...I had no idea what to expect. I came back every six weeks, the average length of time for my pubes to get long enough. I tried out an at-home sugaring kit during the time when the pandemic shut businesses down. The first time was a messy disaster. Eventually though, I got used to the sting and I got my technique down pat. Nowadays, I self-sugar every 7-8 weeks while watching porn. (In my experience, an erect penis helps in removing hair at the base and at the shaft.)

It's either ham or duck in my Thanksgiving table, and whenever it's my turn to host, I make it a point to tell everyone that. I find turkey to be underwhelming for the amount of effort. I made it once and never thought to do it again. (My friend threw a traditional Friendsgiving over the weekend. I went for the turkey leg and filled up on the sides.)

Montreal has better strip clubs and the men who dance in them. In terms of hot guys in general, NYC edges MTL.

I was last in Montreal last September, and while it was still very touch and go with Covid-19 (the Delta and Omicron variants have yet to manifest during that time), I did think that it was on the road to recovery. Heck, I remember the line going to Unity snaking outside Saturday evening. I'm glad to hear things are doing a lot better since then, even though it's still a ways to go.

I am not very good at giving oral (self-assessment); enjoy receiving it however. Exclusively a top but if my partner wants to toss salad, I welcome it. Just don't try to put anything inside.

My friend gave me a ride on his Tesla and I'm sold. Until he told me the price. Since I hardly drive now (my work has transitioned to fully remote), I don't see a reason to switch. Sure, gas prices are insane, but with how little I use my car, I can live with the expense.

A Filipino friend recently had me try a stew made of goat blood. I don't remember the name but he said it's a delicacy back in his home country. He had me eat it with "puto" which is like a cross between a savory muffin and those pancakes that you eat with Peking duck. (I am curious at the name...does it have anything to do with the Spanish name for a male whore?) Anyway, I thought it would be really gamey and very much an acquired taste but it was delicious! The puto worked great with the stew.

I'll do it until I croak

While everyone was swooning over Call Me By Your Name (rightly so), I was falling in love with this movie. Beautifully shot and the actors had great presences. I particularly like that it's a love story. It did not follow the "I'm realizing that I'm gay" trope with many LGBT blockbusters.

Food for me is part of the enjoyment of travel. Whenever I go to a new city (or country in general), I'm eating out at least 75 percent of the time. The remaining 25 percent is me buying something from the grocery to eat at my hotel/Airbnb. I won't cook at all the entire stay. If it's a place I've been to, I act more of a local since I'm already familiar with the environment. In other words, 80 percent of my meals happen where I'm staying. I'd eat out on my first day (since I haven't settled yet), my last full day (since my fridge is probably empty at this point), and maybe one or two other days when I can't be bothered to make something or if I am meeting up with friends for dinner. When I drove up to Montreal last year, I stopped at a BJ's Wholesale Club stateside and bought two weeks' worth of groceries. I only ate out maybe twice or thrice. I did get to-go food a couple of times, mostly after hitting up the bars and clubs at The Village. TL;DR I can't do it. I would have to eat out at some point out of necessity.

I've only done one overnight so far, and while it could have gone many different ways, we actually had a great time. Proof: We became friends and spent a few non-business times together before he quit the industry and moved to a different state with his now-fiancé. Anyway, during our overnight, we played five times (not all penetrative and to completion though). We went for drinks at a rooftop bar, had dinner at a Belgian restaurant, and passed by a small art gallery. It helped that we clicked—our conversations never stalled. Don't feel like you have to do an overnight, even if it's with a provider that you see on a regular basis. They're like our friends: Many of them we are happy to have around, but we do not want to spend more than a day with them.

When you were contracted to model, did you give the photographer an adjusted rate, or was it your normal provider rate? Can you elaborate a little bit about the clause should I die? I thought that as long as the model has the raw files (or a collection of edited TIFs), that'll suffice.

I think there's a fairly large provider crowd near where I live. I just hesitated because in my head, Rentmen =/= Model Mayhem 😅. As long as my costs don't go out the window, I'm willing to either pay them for their time or give them a copy of the photos for their use (or a combination of both).

Please move if this will live better in the "Ask a Provider" subforum A little background: I work as a photographer's assistant. I'm learning as much as I could and hope to eventually strike it on my own. Along with the small projects I get through my mentor/boss, I want to build a portfolio of my own, specifically sexy male portraits. I thought about getting in touch with providers on Rentmen who list "modeling" in their "available for." I'll be upfront about why I am hiring them and what the expectations will be (that basically, their photos might show up in my future website along with all my other work). Good or weird idea? The only caveat here is that it will get pretty expensive, fast. Does TFP (time for print) exist for OnlyFans performers that I can perhaps tap?

I'm on track to visiting five new countries this year: Two south of the United States (Mexico and Peru) and three in Europe (Wales, Scotland, and Poland or the Czech Republic). This is the only goal I have set for 2022. Everything else that I do that's new, exciting, and memorable, is cherry on top.
