I’ve been on Ozempic since last August, I’ve lost nearly 50 lbs . I stayed on 1 mg (the lower clinical dose) because I wanted to lose slowly - 1 lb a week. I didn’t want my skin to be flabby or look gaunt. So far; I have very little loose skin; most of it has snapped back really well. Not only did it suppress my appetite, it removed my compulsive eating. Prior to Ozempic, I was running 3 days a week and boxing once a week. I was eating well and within a normal caloric range but I could not stop late night eating. I did therapy, hypnosis, etc. Nothing worked. For those saying “just stop eating so much”, please do some research. We didn’t go from having 5% of the adult population overweight in the 1950s to more than 50% now bc half of people lost willpower. No, it’s mostly agricultural policy and FDA’s lax regulation of food that is very bad for us. And designed to be addictive. I just started back to strength training, and I’m going to see how I do over the next 3-4 months. If I get where I want to be, I’ll probably lower the dose.

What a nasty misogynistic comment.

The OP said he has another career that has a code of ethics, not that escorting does. That said, no one is owed another person’s labor or complicity in subterfuge. A lot of professionals use their discretion in who and what they will work on. I certainly do. I will no longer attend conferences held in states that have passed anti-queer legislation or outlawed abortion. Nor will I spend my dollars there by vacationing in them. Other people feel differently and that’s fine.

Now that we’ve had at least one president who paid hush money to a sex worker, perhaps we can dispense with this stigma. Barney Frank had an entire rent boy scandal that barely cost him anything. He’s rich and welcome in “polite” society. I don’t think any provider should engage in a gig where they’re uncomfortable but the request is fine. From the client perspective, I think hiring someone you’d seen a few times at least would be better.

For me, this would be the end of the discussion. I know some guys are into it and good for them, but if someone rimmed me without me being freshly showered, I wouldn’t be able to kiss them or probably even have their face next to mine. I am very sensitive to scents and anything described as “ripe” from ass to fruit will make me either nauseated or give me a pounding headache.

Chiming in to say that most big cities are as safe or safer than mid sized or small cities. NYC is incredibly safe, and I’m a very visible queer person who is almost never concerned about my safety.

These are not comparable. And you doubling down on Drowned’s proposition is 🤢

No one cares that you said the word “ghetto.” It’s a word that has many meanings. It’s the context and the belittling of Juneteenth that is offensive. And you absolutely should care that your thinking is a decade old.

This is not the right lesson to take from this experience. You zipped past so many red flags where this guy was concerned. Your relationship with him started as a business transaction not as an offer of help. You then tipped and otherwise paid him more than his rate, and gave him money unrelated to the professional relationship. The moment he said “it’s been a slow month”, I would have pulled the ripcord. That’s when it moved from you being a generous client who enjoyed his company outside of work to a kind of sugar daddy. I think @Rod Hagen had a good analogy with friends who are in other professions. I had a friendly relationship with our primary doctor for nearly 20 years. We shared meals and social gatherings, donated to each other’s causes from time to time, and so on. But just as I don’t expect him to treat me for free, it would be equally inappropriate for him to tell me his practice was struggling and ask for money. When I’ve had friends who were struggling financially, I’ve often treated them to dinner or another experience that they couldn’t afford but I’ve never lent or given someone rent money. And if I did give that money, I would assume I’m never seeing it again.

This is one of my favorite exaggerations. Assuming one averages 100 guys a year - which is two a week - it work take a decade to reach 1,000. And probably 30 years to reach thousands.

Plus the guys are mostly not very good looking. It seems anyone can sign up.

Marcus is really sweet and kind. He's from Spain and great to talk to as well as a dynamo in the sack.

In that case, I think you should order us a round of escorts .

I think some hobbyists here would do well to learn more about what women escorts command. $500/hour probably does not get you someone similar in looks and fitness to what $300-$400/hour gets you on RM. Of course, there are gay escorts who command far more than $300/hour or even $500/hour. Lots of guys who do porn or have robust OnlyFans wouldn't even bother for $500. AND, we've had double digit inflation since 2019, in areas that are hard to do without - food, housing, etc. - so the $300 a guy charged in 2021 doesn't got as far now. I see no point in arguing that such people don't exist. They do, as do guys who can be had for $50 in the back of a bathhouse. To me, RM seems like the shopping ground for comfortable professional men who are not struggling but are not rich.

To the above, I would add Seamus and Marcus.

I'm not interested in seeing how big a cock I can take. There's a provider I see who is 9" and pretty thick. With being properly relaxed and starting slow, I can really enjoy it, but I feel like that's my limit. I recently did DP with my husband and a provider and it felt great for a few minutes. But then the provider (who was smaller than me or my husband) really started to ram it, and I ended up bleeding. So that tainted the experience for me. When I was younger, I was more interested in huge dicks but having had my share, I'm now much more interested in skilled tops who know how to make my toes curl, regardless of their size.

I don't think you should feel bad about this @Rgsnva but some of the suggestions here may be worth exploring. Americans are experiencing an unprecedented epidemic of loneliness. I don't know your situation, but the cultural moment lends itself to people wanting to feel loved and connected. This could make you more likely to invest emotionally in your relationship with a provider. In addition to the suggestions above, perhaps you can invest more time in developing and deepening your relationships with friends so you're less susceptible to putting all your eggs in this provider's basket.

We go to P Town every summer and there's rarely any providers there - at least listing on RM.

A distinction is missing from this conversation: what one is willing to pay for the quality of an interaction. First, there are definitely escorts who command $500 or more an hour. Most of them don't advertise very often and work based on referrals. The reasons they can command that price are probably a combination of looks, personality, niche services, and—most of all—real discretion. Second, there is a pool of younger guys who look great, have OnlyFans/do porn, and want to charge $500 or more an hour but are not worth the price, in my opinion, because they're rarely actually good at sex, connection, etc. I don't fuck with these guys but many do, and that's fine. Then there are the guys we tend to hire who are older (35-55 range), have made this their career (or long-time side hustle), genuinely enjoy sex in many forms, get off on providing pleasure rather than receiving it, like meeting new people, forming ongoing (business) relationships with their clients, and tend to be in the $300-$400 an hour range. It's a market with varying price points, and people should pay what they're comfortable with.

Only if you hire the wrong guy!

My problem with these studies is that do not compare circumcision to condom use, let alone PreP. Also, adult men choosing circumcision is different from infants being circumcised. I am circumcised and have no issue with it, but some men are very upset that they weren't given the choice.

Some bi guys enjoy being sub-bottoms. Some fully gay guys like to bottom but not feel used or like an object (me, for instance). I do think that porn has led lots of poeple to think they know what tops or bottoms (or heteros) want. But, particularly when having a first-time sexual encounter, communication before and during is key. You mention a language barrier, which probably made things trickier but if you're not enjoying yourself during an encounter you need to speak up then. It's easier said than done but it's important.

If you look for escorts who are into S/M, you’ll find a few. I’m not a spanker but I’ve seen a few into it.

We’d have to do a large scale survey of clients to assess whether my experience is an outlier.
