Masks are mandatory on all TfL (Transport for London) services. Not everyone plays by the rules or cares much for the safety of others, however. So selfish.

Yes, indeed. And also here in the UK, apart from a couple or so who must have been genuinely terrified, most escorts were continuing to meet clients all throughout the pandemic.

Yes. There is an escort I've met once, who gave me a really great session and who I enjoyed immensely, but who began pestering me afterwards, expecting instant replies even though he was VERY tardy with his own replies to me most of the time. He was constantly messaging asking when i would be free to meet next, and would I please book more hours for a longer session? He said he will do me a really good price and proceeded to offer me a 3 hour session for £500. I said I don't want 3 hours, and he said okay he can do 2 hours for £350 ...I asked him "why are you proposing a 2 hour session for 350 quid when your Sleepyboy profile says you do 2 hours for 300 quid ??" He then started getting really aggressive towards me sending angry texts. He later apologised and said he was high lol. This was at the start of last month, and is the first time I have ever encountered this kind of behaviour from an escort. He also asked me if I would marry him so that he could "stay in England forever" (he is from Brazil). I told him no because that would be illegal and if I was found out to have married him for immigration purposes he would be deported and I would end up being prosecuted and facing prison. He then got angry about that. I blocked him and then for some reason I just decided to unblock him a couple of days or so later, and he sent me a message saying "why you being so mean to me? I'm a nice person." We both ended up apologising to each other and making amends - then I said something, I cannot remember what it was; I think something with regards to booking another session and the rate he was charging and he took offence and said "I'm done with you" and blocked me. Honestly, this drama was so childish and was the first time ever I've encountered this from an escort. He's got Gold membership on RentMen and is on Sleepyboy as well. I gave him two 5 star reviews (one on each of his escort profiles, RentMen and Sleepyboy) after our first and only session and this was the thanks I get.

JoshXXL offers a duo service with this guy: https://rentmen.eu/Karlosbrito There is one negative review on this profile where the client claims that Karlos terminated the session after 15 minutes and that JoshXXL barged into the room and started hitting the client. I messaged Karlos about this, as I was interested in meeting him but said that this review made me wary. He told me "this is a young gay talking shit" 😐

The £150 to £200 range is the average/standard rate for incalls in London. EDIT: This is from the horse's mouth - I'm from the UK and London is the city in which I do all my hiring. £300 an hour is not usual, and I'm shocked to learn that there are a handful of guys trying to charge this. Who in their right mind would pay that much for an hour? Someone with more money than sense!

It's a whole 100 quid more than the average rate for an incall. Shocking. I would never pay 300 quid for an hour, no matter how hot the guy is.

Wait. What? "Hidden" reviews on RM???

We don't really say 'PnP' this side of the pond. I think that's more an American thing. 'HnH' is the term used here, which means "high and horny". You see it mainly on Grindr profiles. When I used to have Grindr on my phone, I would always block anyone who messaged me with 'HnH' in their profile.

Most of my sessions with escorts are for just one hour, or sometimes 2 or 3. I don't really do overnights. In fact, I think I've only had 2 or 3 overnight sessions in the whole 15 years I've been hiring. Most clients only book an hour or two max (if reviews on RentMen are anything to go by). But there are those who really love the longer and/or overnight sessions, and these tend to be the guys who are involved in the whole chemsex scene. As @Jamie21rightly says, this is a really big scene in London and there are plenty of escorts who are more than happy (and even prefer) to use chems while they are with clients. It is not uncommon for an escort to ask me, during our initial communication over WhatsApp prior to meeting, if I'm "into chems?". The chemsex scene is HUGE in the London gay community/gay world, but I should add that it is not always problematic (though I should state that, as a non-user of chems, I am not defending chems). Many of the escorts who use chems only do so with clients who want them to do that, and are not addicted junkies who need the chems in order to have a good time. I actually think most of the escorts who do the chems will only do so if the client requests it and are not addicts. That said, sadly the G and "Tina" addicts do exist, and I could tell you a few names on RentMen to avoid if you were ever in London and were looking to hire but wanted to avoid the druggies (but I won't do so on here).

@BaronArtzThank you for your nice words. I think you're right - much better to go with a guy I already know. I think I will ask my favourite escort and see if he is willing to do a dinner date; he does have a boyfriend though, so hopefully he doesn't think I'm trying to pursue something I know isn't on offer nor possible by asking him to a 'date'. Then again, the transactional nature of the occasion should remind him that that isn't the case.

@jetlow Yes, I am based in England and can confirm that there is a big chemsex problem within 'the gay world' here (particularly in London and Manchester). Many escorts are into chems - particularly G and also T (crystal meth). The first escort I ever hired died from an overdose of G. Very sad. I sometimes feel that I somehow contributed to his continued drug use having been one of his clients, giving him money that he no doubt used to buy more chems, so I can relate to how you feel @jetlow when you say you feel like you are contributing to this guy's misery.

I agree with you about it being our prerogative to use that word. I think it's okay for us gay and bisexual men to use the word 'faggot' among ourselves, just in the same way that it's okay for people of colour to use the N-word when speaking to each other. But it's NOT okay for straight people to say 'faggot' or for white people to use the N-word. Then it becomes homophobic and racist, respectively.

Gay Soho is centred on Old Compton Street and Dean Street, though the whole area is very gay; quite a few gay pubs, bars, clubs and even a gay sauna there. Earls Court isn't very gay anymore - in fact it hardly is at all, though it is still home to the gay brothel Villa Gianni - located at 32 Nevern Place.

I spend a lot of time in the Soho Square you speak of. It's one of my favourite places in London to just relax and chill either alone or with a friend - especially in the summer.

@Epigonosand @John - thank you so much for giving this post the friendly, mature and respectful responses it asked for. @Epigonoswhere did you normally pay him if not in the restaurant? Outside just before going in? I had assumed that most guys would want payment in advance for this kind of thing, unlike meeting solely for sex. Two hours in a nice restaurant of the escort's choosing probably sounds like the way to go for me (as long as I also like the restaurant/food on offer). I definitely won't hire the guy if his English isn't great - like I say, I'll call him and find out. Thanks for wishing me luck. @John - An initial coffee meet first sounds like a wise suggestion, or perhaps meeting for sex first and then moving onto a dinner date? Since I'm new to the whole dinner companion thing, I don't know the best way to proceed - but I like what @Epigonossaid.

Yes, indeed. I mean I don't know for sure about his English, I will give the guy a call to talk to him first. But if his English does turn out to be as bad as I think it may be (based on his texts), then I suppose I could always book one of my regulars for this? Or perhaps, I should just book one of my regulars for this instead anyway.

Like @xyz48B, I am also 33-years-old and have been hiring gay male escorts since I was 18-years-old (I made a post about that). I like to hire guys aged between 18 - 35, with the majority being in the 21 - 29 age range. Some of them have been poor communicators, but almost always went through with meeting (only come across a couple or so flakes in 15 years of hiring).

Lately, I've been thinking about hiring a guy to be my dinner companion, with no sex involved either before or after the dinner date. I guess I just fancy doing something different. I enjoy hiring guys for sex and I love the physical and emotional intimacy and affection that sometimes goes with that, but I just fancy a change. I'm currently thinking about what restaurant I'd like to go to, how long I'd like to spend with the guy, and which guy I'd like to choose. There is a guy I'm looking at on RentMen who I really like the look of, I've been keen on him for a long while now. He's a very beautiful young lad from Brazil and seems a very nice guy judging by how he comes across in his WhatsApp messages to me. But if his messages are anything to go by, he doesn't speak English well. Perhaps I should call him to speak with him on the phone first before making a decision on whether to ask him if he'd come to dinner with me? I was wondering whether anyone could advise me on whether guys normally expect payment up front for this, or whether they will accept payment at the end of the date? I don't like the idea of paying up front, because I have visions of the guy excusing himself from the table to go to the toilet and then not coming back. I also worry about the guy being distracted by his phone a lot during the date and not paying much attention to me. I worry that making conversation may be tricky (maybe we have nothing in common, no similar interests to discuss, him not speaking good English etc.) and this will lead to a really awkward atmosphere. I worry that he might get up and leave early, that he might not enjoy the food or something.... so many concerns going around in my mind. So I'm looking for some advice from my fellow clients who have previously hired an escort to be their dinner companion. Any input would be very much appreciated. Advice on things to avoid and on etiquette would be particularly welcome. Cheers.

It's Soho, not SoHo. I believe SoHo is in New York City. But Soho is in London. Just thought I'd clear that up (pedant that I am) 😁 No such thing as hustler bars over here - at least not to my knowledge, and I think I'm pretty "in the know" as far as the London/UK gay underworld and subcultures go haha.

He.....what???? 😐 These guys inhabit a totally different universe if they think anyone would pay a GRAND just for one hour! I know there are plenty of guys out there with more money than sense, but jeez..... that takes the ****

It is illegal in the US (with the exception of some counties in the state of Nevada), but is perfectly legal in the UK and most other socially liberal European countries and Western liberal democracies, thank goodness. The US really does have some backward, regressive laws. I suppose this is down to the influence of the 'religious right' that is a dominant political force over there?

Blimey, you Yanks don't have any sense of humour do you? Sometimes I forget that it's a very British thing to make light and fun of a serious situation. I'll bear that in mind in future.

It was said in jest - hence the laughing emoji.

Jarrod, do you ever have an encounter with a client that goes smoothly? 😂
