My Apple Watch says I've masturbated 482 miles last year. Kevin Slater

Gotcha. My impression is that DC gets a of of visitors, and of course NY. Kevin Slater

Why do you care if the provider is traveling or local? Kevin Slater

The promos looked so bad I wasn't even tempted. I really like the HBO brand, but put my account on hold til they can build their library back up (Euphoria season 2, anyone?). Kevin Slater

Do you mean escort or urologist? Kevin Slater

There's always a rotation. The biggest drop is that Mr. Green seriously cut back his hiring (partly becasue he's only in NYC part-time now). http://laterslater.com/2019top3.png The top three from 2018 cut back both their frequency and duration in 2019. That's the driver here. Mr. Blue rose from second to first despite decreased spending. Nope. Natural attrition. If anything, I'm not as eagerly pursuing new clients. Thanks for asking. Kevin Slater

Still one act to many. Kevin Slater

Who are you calling a slot? Kevin Slater

Per annual tradition: Revenue decreased 6% from 2018. 35% of 2019 revenue came from the year’s top three clients, down from 47% in 2018. Revenue from all other accounts rose 20%. http://www.laterslater.com/2019YE.jpg Kevin Slater

This escort is stuck in his Times Square apartment til that ball drops. It would be very difficult for me to go out or for someone to come to me. Time to snuggle with puppy and watch the Godfather! Kevin Slater

Probably best to ask the escort in question as I doubt there's a standard answer. Kevin Slater

I hear you. However, if the guy already sounds like he's going to no-show or what have you, adding a google voice number to the mix adds to my concern. I may decide not to meet him, and he may have been completely legit, and that's ok; not every booking has to happen. Kevin Slater

Not always, but often you get the "Please state your name..." screener that google voice employs. Then I know it's a fake number. Even if he calls, I can start to text him back (even if I don't send) to see if it shows up as blue (a legitimate iPhone number) or green (not an iPhone, potentially google voice or some other number-masking service). Kevin Slater

I'll explain that to him and ask for his name. If he's not comfortable with that, I may pass. Again, this is only if he's already struck me as 'off'. If he's calling from a hotel number and I can't patch through to his room, that's the same as a blocked number. Kevin Slater

For me: I make sure I hear a voice on the phone in order to set it up (I don't care if he's piloting the international space station while his wife is in labor next to him, if he can't call, I'm not interested) I don't take calls from blocked numbers If he sounds flakey I'll call back to try and discern if it's a google voice number (the equivalent of a blocked number) I keep a record of his number after he flakes, because he's going to reach out to you again in six months It's not a bad idea to call the hotel and get patched through to the room before heading over, especially if something strikes you as 'off' The likelihood of a booking actually happening is inversely proportional to the number of texts, calls and emails beforehand Sorry to hear of your troubles. Unfortunately, it comes with the territory. Kevin Slater

I think we're conflating issues here. You've never been able to pay for a Rentmen ad via Venmo; the Venmo debit card doesn't work overseas. Until recently, the PayPal debit card would work, but they've just blocked Rentmen. Kevin Slater

They take bitcoin, but a friend tried that once and what a pain in the ass. Kevin Slater

I think Rentboy got paranoid about verifying credit card transactions after AmEx blocked them similarly. Kevin Slater

Thanks for the notice. Wish I read this before spending a while trying to figure it out. Venmo and CashApp debit cards have never worked on Rentmen, likely due to it being non-US rather that it being nefarious. Of course, Rentmen simply sent me a note saying my payment was rejected, not saying something useful like PayPal has blocked them. Typical of their customer service. Kevin Slater

You've got six glowing recommendations above, four within the last six months. What more 'recent intel' can you possibly want? Kevin Slater

What did the leper say to the prostitute? Keep the tip. Kevin Slater

That's alright. We all knew you were an asshole. Kevin Slater
