Minimum wage as a cost has nothing to do with inflation in NYC or anywhere else. It increases by $1/hour at the beginning of this year. And minimum wage for servers is not the same as standard minimum wage. The costs are in rent, food and fuel. All things impacted by greed and government policy.

You sound like someone who works for Fox Business, selectively pulling statistics that do not reflect the lived experience of people. When prices first go up, many people will try to suck it up and cut their expenses. If it continues, they may seek additional work or ask for a raise, dip into savings. Some professions - largely white collar and manufacturing eventually got raises that have evened it out, but the lower part of the income strata has not. This article explains what you would know if you just spoke to like five people in the real world. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/12/18/cumulative-inflation-since-2020.html

If you cannot understand that escorts raised their prices in the wake of an overall cost-of-living increase of 20-25 percent, over the past 5 years, going from $300-$350 to $400 (an increase of 16-30 percent), I can't help you.

I actually went and read that car crash. It completely supports my no rimming policy. If I hooked up with bottoms, I might do it. We tend to know how to have sparking clean asses. But the amount of pushback on that thread to just proper hygiene (yes, washing your ass crack is part of that) is just completely insane. If I were in the OP's position, I would initially request the provider shower. If I got any pushback, I'd send them packing.

This is why I almost never rim a guy - provider or general hook up. Men do not know how to wash their asses. Ask your married girlfriends-their husbands' underwear is skidmark city. That said, if someone is engaged in sex work, there's really no excuse not to be clean. There are YouTube tutorials and countless articles and books on how to douce or even just wash your asshole well.

Total inflation since COVID is nearly 25 percent. And that was before gas increased 40%. That's the truth. The middle class is being liquidated.

Some do. Some guys do it as a side hustle. The point remains that we're suffering the worst inflation in decades. If you live in a major city, your rent, taxes, groceries have all gone up. Are escorts the only people who can't expect a raise? And Walmart should be nationalized. It would cease to function without tax breaks and the entire staff being on Medicaid.

Totally agree with @SecretProvider - we just hired a guy who only had one review but once I reached out ot him, he was very responsive and warm. I think you can tell a lot about a provider in how they handle an initial outreach. This assumes someone isn't wasting their time with irrelevant questions or talking to them in a way that suggests you're looking for sexting.

I have to agree that 90 minutes is ideal for some chat, some foreplay, the "main event" and then some pillow talk.

If you're advertising to come to my city but really have no intention of coming, unless three other guys and I book you, knowing that would lead me to block you.

I've never been and have no intention of going. I loathe gambling, and it seems to attract the type of people I live in NYC to avoid.

No shade but he's kind of "gaysic" to be charging that much money. He looks like every third guy at gay bar in Hell's Kitchen. You can get three guys just as hot and probably more diverse and interesting for $1,200 for the hour.

I sent him a message.

Ah... you must need to be a paid member to see his pics. I'll mention it to him as he's new and trying to optimize his profile.

He has multiple body shots but they’re all nudes - maybe you have to be a subscriber. He will send face pics if you’re interested in him. He’s very cute. Big beautiful smile. Curly short brown hair. Hazel eyes I think.

My husband and I saw Sam over the weekend, and he is wonderful. His new screen name suits him very well. He's very sweet and masculine, but also very sexually adept and naughty. From the moment I contacted him, he was warm and responsive. As we looked to schedule a meeting, he was a bit saucy in the texts, which was a real turn-on. Sam is very tall. His body is nicely muscled but more athletic than a "muscle guy" per se. (Really great chest.) Best of all, he was very engaged and present the whole way through. I've noticed some escorts are really good at sex and getting you off, some are great at connecting, and (rarely) some are great at both. Sam is in the third category. Being with him felt so natural and easy to move from foreplay to the main event to a post-coital snuggle. He's also very intelligent and easy to speak with. We will be seeing him again soon and highly recommend him.

"Providers" is an umbrella term for escorts, masseurs, cam boys, etc. It's wild that you find it triggering. Also, what's wrong with sissies? You suck dick, eat ass, have anal sex, and you're somehow better than a "sissy?" Girl, please...

I don't see any issue with a 39-year-old who is into twinks. My husband and I are older than you, and whether it's online or in person, we are usually besieged by twinks.

Which ones? To be clear, we are diversified and have very little debt. But credit card debt is at an all-time high, defaults are rising, and much of the institutional support has been eroded, never mind the impacts of the war on energy, food, etc.

PS: I know many people with household incomes (myself included) who earn more than $125k and are horrified by inflation, and are decreasing their spending - and saving more.

We're headed for a Great Depression. As soon as the music stops and OpenAI doesn't have a chair to sit on, the market will correct strongly - certainly worse than the dotcom bust. The leadership responsible for tracking unemployment was fired last year, so the data cannot be trusted. And the market is buoyed by 5 AI companies passing money back and forth, rather than by actual investment in housing, job creation, public works, or innovation. I'm oddly looking forward to this falling to shit. Maybe it will wake some people up.

I've always thought he was hot, but seeing him with his girlfriend, whom he apparently assaulted, and knowing he's dumb enough to snort unsourced drugs, is a complete turn off.

No, but I don't really hire based on race. Also, my husband and I (being a bottom and top) hire a lot of vers guys so it's not unusual for a guy to top me and then bottom for my husband; sometimes simultaneously. 😆

This is just low-key racism that sees white providers who embody some "All-American" A&F jock as the ideal archetype. Meanwhile, since politics are banned from discussion, I'll just say that the A&F guys were trafficking young men for two decades. Perhaps we should question why we desire a specific ideal foisted upon us by advertising, Hollywood, etc.

The problem underlying all of this is inflation, which has increased 25 percent since 2021. So, guys who raised their rates from $300 to $350-$400 over the past couple of years are adjusting for inflation. And the inflation we've had has impacted housing and food the most. And inflation is hitting big cities, making them more expensive to live in and visit. And since inflation is affecting all of us, our purchasing power is lessened. So the guys raising their rates in response to inflation are dealing with clients who feel like our money isn't going as far as it used to. It's a regrettable situation but it's not necessarily greed.
