Greg....I completely agree. Thank you for sharing your journey with all of us. I am thankful for the life-saving, life-gratifying medical advancements in this field, but I want to chime in as one of the condom-affirming, non-"PrEP"ers. The tables are turning, and the target of ostracism is becoming old-fashioned folk like me. Yall may think my hobbying is prolific, but my sex life is rather bland and potential transmission activities are even more infrequent. I don't date, and I don't hook-up. So in my situation, the cost-benefit/risk-reward tells me to skip the prescription and don a condom during those rare encounters. However, numerous providers refuse to use them (whether top or bottom), commenting that they hurt, chaff, cause a break-out, are too tight, kill a hard-on, etc...all the excuses that I rarely heard for the last 20 years. And the kicker...."jawja, you've got nothing to worry about; 'I'm on PrEP'". I can have fun in a lot of ways and don't have to follow a script for a meeting to be successful, but when it is not even an option to go at it with a stunningly hot, and otherwise willing, passionate stud, then that is disappointing, and I've experienced that disappointment multiple times the past 2 years. It is one of the main reasons I may give up hobbying soon....along with the fact that RM has devolved into something more like grindr than a marketplace. Just my 1.25 cents.....

Nope. Not me. Don't care to join that club.

It's over. It happens. Don't feel stressed about clearing the air with him. You are totally OK if you choose to have no further contact with him. Later, if he asks "what's up? where'd you go?", then you can either ignore him or tell him his shortcomings, but when the hurt is fresh, it's tough to know what's right. Some guys are "coach"able. Some guys are a mess. In this hobby, it pays to discern the difference.

"Too early"? I swear.....yall crack me up with the insane fantasies that play out here. :D

Uh huh.....I figured out by my early 30s that I am wired for singleness; I'm not into relationships at all. I have to have way too much "me time".

Whew....I'm glad I don't have to ponder any of these relational quandaries.

Interesting development. One of the blasts from the past who I never met, but def had the hots for him.

Nope, nor any of the other 30ish shopping days before Christmas. My gift giving budget is $0 and has been that amount for the past 18-20 years. Since I stopped the madness, I have enjoyed every holiday season since.

Welp, I booked a room. My usual faves have been sold out for months, so I chose Inndulge. I hope other experienced attendees will be there to hold my hand and guide me around. HAHAHA! :D

I contacted him, but the communication ended because he did not quote a fee for the session I proposed. Tis a shame because he has a nice ad and great smile. Hopefully, he's figured out some things about how to set up sessions with clients since then.

Ummmmm......NO, it aint! I have flown guys (never having previously met) dozens of times. I have paid modest deposits maybe 2 times to settle a newbie's nerves about my seriousness, but certainly nothing approximating half the fee in advance.

I passed on the ad. The wording is not enticing at all. He's too minimalist, which may be a preview of a session with him.

Completely agree. Epigonos is a total stud in tight jeans or slacks. He knows how to work it too.

The risk-reward is working against you in this scenario......bigly. I would never do this, but that's just me. If you proceed on his terms, he better be damn good, but I do hope you have a great time.

Hope all yall's stuffing dreams come true!

My "Nice Guy" Hall of Famers include (minimum overnight or longer experiences): Ethan (formerly Nashville) Mar Romann AJ Irons BMW Chris Eisenhower Alex Marshall Walter (formerly Dallas) Magic Tony 2017 Inductees: Alex Hawk Fabian Marco Some of the absolute best of the best were lesser known or flew under the radar, and the mention of their names would not be familiar to many in this community. But I do hope that every one of them knows how impactful they were to me along this journey.

I don't know about the youngsters, but having purchased airfare for many Rentmen, I can assure you that RM does not verify age for those having "Verified ID" recognition.

You look familiar, mister.

Thanks for the reminder, Epi. I keep forgetting to book a room. I hope to make it again next year.

Love love love day appointments! Plenty of time for sensual and social activity.

RM is devolving into grindr. CL looks more appealing every day......<sigh>

Oh yeah, and it's happening again......next week. I don't just talk the talk......:D

You have it ("sense"), but I have met plenty of providers who didn't have it. :rolleyes:

As a client, I have done this over 20 times, e.g. first time meeting a guy which involved him or me or both of us hopping a plane to meet somewhere. Every single one of these meetings was a complete, satisfying success. With good communications, clear expectations, and well-honed instincts, the chance of setting up a great encounter are high. I hope you have a great trip!

Glad that you fleshed this out for the OP. When a companion tells you how he excels or what he prefers, stick to his wheelhouse......OR choose another provider. Scheduling a companion outside of his best skillset leads to unremarkable or unsatisfying encounters.
