Apologies. I didn’t read the whole thread.

FYI – he changed his RM screen name.

Precisely. And this is why communication beforehand isn’t a waste of time. Especially for longer engagements like overnights or weekends.

It seems to me that the OP is concerned about the provider’s pleasure and making sure it happens. So I’m doubtful the concern should that a provider is being mistreated. Really the concern is if the provider is going to be up front if they’re not enjoying it.

I don’t expect every escort to like it either. But if he tells me early on he does and then down the road in the course of the conversation he starts saying “I don’t do X,” “I don’t do Y,” “I don’t fell comfortable doing A,” “C, B, and D aren’t really my thing,” then he wasted both his time and mine. And he was just looking to make a buck and didn’t give to flying fucks about my “enjoyment.” When I read on an ad “I’m happy to do almost anything,” I’m almost tempted to move on. Too often that’s NOT true. I’ve had more open-minded experiences with escorts who don’t say that in their ads than those who do. Although I can’t say every provider who’s “open to almost anything” has been disappointing. That’s where reviews and feedback come in handy before reaching out.

When I’m communicating with a prospective provider, I lay out what I’m looking for and then I ask him if it’s something he thinks he can genuinely enjoy. If I get the sense that he isn’t going to genuinely enjoy it, I let him know. Because it just bleeds into the rest of the experience, and feels inauthentic. It’s better if I can tell he’s enjoying it so that I can enjoy it. He can get paid and still objectively enjoy what we’re doing. I enjoy my job, and I still get paid for it. But there are definitely some providers who I can tell don’t relish the idea of getting together after I’ve explained what I’m looking for. I’ve had providers also clearly not enjoy it while we’re together even though they told me they were going to beforehand. There’s just something about it that you can tell.

It seems so many guys here already know everything. And they love to impart their wisdom. Let’s give ‘em a chance to shine!

I’ve wondered about that too, so many available thirsty guys...I suppose if you were going with escort, you’d have to get the unsavory money talk and expectations talk out of the way long ahead...

Found this online... It goes back to the days in airline transportation when everything about a flight was sent to the destination airport/airline by Telex. The number of characters you could send in a single message was limited…not unlike Twitter and text messaging. The “x” appended to something that was an abbreviation was the sign that it was an abbreviation—there were others, such as Wx for “weather.” Since the term was fairly obvious and convenient, it got picked up by other forms of transportation, and even hotels!

Pax is peace in Latin. I’ll have to look more into this. You learn something new every day...

“Pax” is a new term. Elucidate me.

This was my sense.

Sounds like a good principle if the escort is part of the forum. There are many escorts who are also not reviewed on Daddy’s – whether because someone won’t review them or some other reason. Question – how is an escort given opportunity to respond on Daddy’s? Are they somehow contacted before the review goes live? What’s to stop an escort from responding here to reviews if they can respond to Daddy’s unaffiliated* site? *How unaffiliated is Daddy’s and this forum? I have long been under the operating assumption they were separate but related entities. Am I wrong?

Might be the time to book!

Helpful. Any idea if there are deals?

https://www.companyofmen.org/threads/411-daniel-brazilian-awesome-body.154302/ To me, this thread (only used as an example) is filled with “reviews.” They just happen to be positive.

But Viscount @FrankR – thanks for moderating and attempting to silence me.

Cute. I haven’t made up my mind. I’m asking for clarification. A rule that is unclear is hard to enforce. “No reviews” when there’s no clear guidance about what constitutes a review is an unhelpful rule. There’s an entire subjection on this forum that could be considered reviewettes, if you will. It seems like there are varying opinions about what makes for a “review.” To be clear, I have no intention of reviewing or otherwise publicly saying anything about any experience I have with a provider on this forum again after my last attempt to do so was attacked because some here liked the escort in question and I had the temerity to speak somehow unfavorably about him. It is clear some member’s opinions are valued more than others here. It is what it is. But I will push for clarity if I see there isn’t any. So to circle round to the front, a review, which is not allowed in this particular forum but welcome on an unaffiliated site, is any negative comment about an escort. All praise is welcome. More or less, unless you want to talk about your 5-star experience, don’t share here. See your way to Daddy’s. I don’t know why that’s so hard to admit...Is it because we don’t want to call a thing a thing?

Perhaps let’s put a finer point on it – nothing negative.

We can laud them all we like, though?

So, yes. “No reviews” is more like “no negative public assessment” because the escort isn’t afforded as much opportunity here to counter it.

So verboten here is a negative assessment of a particular time with an escort because the escort doesn’t have as much opportunity to refute the claim? We’ve established the “no reviews” policy predates the Rentboy scare. So it’s not related to that. “No reviews” is more like “no negative public assessment” because the escort isn’t afforded as much opportunity here to counter it. Do I understand?

If the review site (unaffiliated with this forum) is where they belong, what is the purpose of a 411 post? Perhaps I misunderstand a review. Is that for a detailed description of what happened and your assessment? Or can a review be “He was great. Five stars.” It seems to me that both are reviews. One just includes salacious bits.

I don’t feel strongly about it. And after my last experience (cf. above) giving feedback only to have it discredited, I’m not going to likely say anything positive or negative about any escort experience in this forum.

In a sense, while I get the logic of wanting to avoid the “authorities,” that defeats the general express purpose of a (semi) public forum. Honest question: how is a review here any different than a review on the associated site Daddy’s? I have in the past spoken negatively here about a particular escort whom other members came to the defense for and had particular examples of positive interactions that were supposed to negate my own poor experience. Said escort joined in the discussion even. To me, that’s a review in action. How was that experience different? Vague language like “I’m a bottom and we had a good time,” to my estimation, is unnecessary and actually unhelpful and it won’t protect anyone from the authorities anymore than the pseudo political mumbo jumbo some escorts put at the bottom of their ads about all money exchanged is for time. We all know what’s going on, and we all know what “I’m a bottom and we had a good time” means.
