Yup. It takes very little equipment to get incredibly fit.
 
What it really takes is eating clean, getting sleep, drinking water and having the discipline to not make excuses for yourself.

Picked up a guy in business class on a flight from Europe. We both were flying to the east coast US, with connections beyond. Flirted with him on the plane. Flirt was mutual.  Midway thought the Atlantic  action under thick blankets, he jerked me off. This was before flat bed seats, in the age of recliners that starched 3-4 windows nearly fully flat  and his seat was next to mine. In the dim cabin with large blankets, its easy to play.. I actually miss those seats, I slept well in them, maybe because I got used to them.  The flat bed seats today tend to be narrow, but flat, unless its one of those luxury middle eastern airlines.  
After we came, we both asked for a glass of champagne and refills, delivered by this gay flight attendant. I wonder if he knew. 
We arrived back in the US. Both of us had connections, so we went to the lounge, I reserved a shower where he proceeded to fuck me.  Afterward, I went on my connecting flight, he went on his. Getting into the shower without being noticed was a challenge , but we figured it out. 
I wish I had taken his contact info. He was older than me, and I was a young thing. 

I went to Sāo Paolo a few months back . Covid hit brazil quite bad in the northern spring and summer . 
My regular there stopped to ask me if I was vaccinated and even asked to see proof  , which  i had . He had just ran though most of his savings ( he basically didn’t work for almost a year ) and was glad to see me . 
I am quite sure he would have cancelled the appointment had I not been vaxed 
 

This would depend is this is a massage or escort appointment, and the country where legality issues arise.
For massages always after, often I've paid in a reception area, or the persons home / living area after I got dressed etc.
For escort appointments, I have noticed the best ones ( i hire worldwide ) almost never ask, I am usually the one that brings it up  Subtle hints like "well I had a nice time' coupled with getting dressed etc. is sufficient. If you had to be slightly more aggressive I would say, "I think our time is up dear, unless of course you want to play some more" - or something to that effect.  in the US, its always payment for time / donation - thus asking is a grey area, and for some people  may be slightly vulgar. In some ways , I would have liked to believe the encounter was real, instead of a paid for fantasy, so asking is perhaps too blunt and ruins the experience. Keep me believing it was real till the end.   Other faux pas would be counting cash in front of me ( I don't mind , but that universally rude I think) , and overly aggressive upsells after the appointment .
Also I have encounted a guy ( in Brazil)  who was very conflicted about the profession and had issues even touching the money ( he has since retired, but is only doing past clients ) and gone back full time to his main job , I had to convince him to take it. That said some of the lousy and might I add expensive London boys I have had were not shy about saying "bank transfer" immediately after i was done. i will not be inclined to hire them again.  ( the encounter was bad too)  then proceeded to try to upsell me on 3 ways with their friends.  Its always the bad ones that ask so directly in my experience. 
To quote someone here, the sex is easy, the social aspect ( and subtlety )  of this is what differentiates the good from the great. 

I've never refused payment completely but I have insisted discounted rates or some amount of money off if something doesn't go right and if the experience isn't optimal (if I'm way late, need to reschedule at the last minute, not at my best performance). It makes for smart business, reduces the risk of a bad review and helps develop regulars. I find it to be a similarly good gesture on the other end when a client pays a partial amount for canceling at the last minute, if they pay a tip or they compensate for something that goes wrong on their end. Good clients make good escorts and vice versa.  

That’s class - and a keeper . I would keep him on the payroll and tip generously 

Its funny - the escorts that are not that good almost never forget payment  but for the ones that are fantastic , payment is almost an after thought ( I have to remind them) 
 
I remember the last bad appointment  I had, the first words out his mouth after got dressed was, "Bank Transfer? "  - this was in Europe.   
By contrast A favorite of mine left, and forgot - he almost left the building I was in, I  had to flag him. 

Ah yes I am meaning massage or escorting. For me the line is blurry. My massage can include sex. And I’m thinking in a UK context where it’s lawful to provide escort service. 

I totally agree, the social side: whether you make the client feel comfortable, safe and above all good about themselves is the most important part. If that is absent then nothing else is relevant. 

I stick to two regulars and they're extended sessions, either overnight or weekends.  I've had several sessions with each so neither is concerned about getting his fee.  I typically hand them an envelope as they depart.  It's always met with a smile, a sincere thank you, and a kiss.     
I spent an overnight with my local regular last weekend.  I forgot to hit the bank and the ATM limit is $500, so I asked if he'd be ok with Venmo, which he was.  On Sunday morning while at breakfast, I attempted to Venmo the cash and it was declined.  On our way back from breakfast I was going to stop at the ATM to pull $500 just to give him something.  He refused.  Long story short, he left without payment, assuring me to not worry about it because he knew I was good for it and get it to him whenever it was resolved.  Despite his assurances, I was totally embarrassed and felt horribly, especially since he paid for dinner the night before as a birthday gift to me.  Venmo acknowledged the "flag" was initiated by them, assured me it had nothing to do with me or my account, but refused to disclose why it was flagged.  After several conversations with them and getting nowhere, I just gave up and used Zelle after confirming he used it as well.  I communicated with him while attempting to resolve the issue with Venmo and each time he was completely understanding and kept telling me not to stress over it.  At the end of all this, after being paid, I sent him a text thanking him for his patience, understanding and expressing my gratitude.  He replied that it was his pleasure because I always treat him kindly and respectfully and he knew I wouldn't stiff him.  I'm sure part of this is because he's familiar with and knows me, but his reaction and how he handled it spoke volumes about his character and reaffirmed my decision to see him regularly.  I felt appreciated and valued as a client.    

Sadly he's retired. As classy as they come. 

The massage was average and it was performed on a bed. He looks exactly like his pictures. There was a bit of a language barrier so most of the time it was a bit awkward when we both tried to communicate with each other during the session. He does try to upsell if you don’t hire him as a escort so beware if you plan on booking.

I want a masseur (or two, for rotation) on retainer to massage me every night (maybe alternate nights) and as money is no object I would also have a houseboy to let him out so I can fall asleep without moving.

The art of conversation is what has has really provided for me the 9 years I've escorted. Without it, I would've made significantly less and lasted significantly shorter. I once thought that much of the information I retained in the humanities was useless, then I figured out I could put it to use with this job among educated men who enjoy interesting discussion. Intellect and conversation can really pick out the naturals in this line of work. Unfortunately, there are duds who can't do it if their life depended on it. I'm sure they're fine at sex though. Some clients prefer just that in an escort. They want sex, nothing else. But I have to say conversation is what has paid me with travel around the world and a nice accumulation of overnights among a great set of regulars. Getting paid to have engaging conversations with intelligent clients is something I love and I do wish it was a socially respected career choice. Alas though, we're not there yet.    

I've also had situations where both the client and myself both forget about payment until after they or I leave lol. Happens quite a bit with me actually as I'm pretty scattered minded. Such clients though always have come through, paid and apologized. After good sex or good long conversation, it seems pretty natural to forget the transactional aspect of the arrangement. 

Except the autogate doesn't give you a stamp, so make sure you go though manual immigration.

Just had a great 3 way with https://rent.men/brunoferaz
 
old thread is locked  pm for details. 
 
he’s Brazilian  verse  toned  clean  great kisser  very oral plays well with others  hung 
 
 
 

Lol!  It’s a 5 star hotel. I keep stock piling towels and they keep taking the clean ones and only leave 2 behind. It’s annoying. 
 
Shorts were for in room only. I wouldn’t be caught dead in this outfit in public. Unless it was during a walk of shame. Lol
 
Here are my fave underwear pics. 

This compared to the Russian / Slavic guys who I tend hire who tend to be serious clock watchers.  The last one I met in London promptly left after I was done . Need to lecture him about that.   There is a tradition of not being serious clock watchers among the Brazilians, I almost always need to tell them to leave .
 
I will point out tho - you need to stay at better hotels that will bring towels and change sheets, after play, and not run out of water bottles!
But with men to support - I guess its hard to have it all ! .
And for the love of g-d, shorts in Paris? in the Fall? To each his own ( they do look comfortable) 

Grinder is a numbers game.   95% of your interactions will lead nowhere, and might include getting blocked (as Mr Maus said for no reason).   Some ppl (including me) use block to simply remove people from the seemingly endless pool of potential connections.
What I have learned from Grindr:   there are a lot of legit hot young guys who are into older guys and #DaddyDick.   It's a thing.  Many are even into out of shape older guys.  So, if you get past being blocked, and feeling like "he would never be interested in me" and just work what you have you might be surprised what turns up.
Also, lots of young guys on Grindr looking for $Gen.  You have to be careful about this, but lots of hot young guys can be found for for 50-100 VS RentMen rates.
Happy hunting!

Stereotype: Gay men love lists of stereotypes. 

He took the deposit from the client, the arrangement fell through and he then sent mocking messages after he asked for the money back. I have no reason to doubt the client. He was regular, known for years, took me out a few evenings and nights when I was doing that kind of thing, and quite pragmatic about the way he was conned by the advertiser.
My recommendation is only engage this advertiser if you are visiting his premises. He will otherwise ask for advances.
His feeback also has fabrication indicated, both on his present and deleted profiles. Sleepyboy only accepts reviews from paid client accounts*, so high frequency feedback written in a very similar style is likely the advertiser himself using a £10 burner account to submit one.
*Since all features bar a few photos are free, I know few clients who ever paid for an account on Sleepyboy.

sex is a universal language . I remember being in Tbilisi, Georgia - and met this gorgeous guy whose English wasn't the best, but we somehow managed

I think people have an unrealistic expectations of what once expects from a partner/ boyfriend / husband. This includes
- Fantansic sex. 
- Also not do be discounted, some people don't really want to have sex all that much. The last person i went out with had this problem. And i personally know 2 couples in a relatively sexless marriage .  These are gay couples by the way, one is 42 with a stupid kept boy of 28, and the other are in their early 50s. The 42 year old likes just having the 28 year old around. ( he's a young thing but not all that) 
- Gorgeous / Physically attractive ( to me)
- A great companion + life partner + friend + with complimentary values 
[ and somehow people expect the whole package ]
 
Thats seriously a tall order. A fantasy. Coupled with the whole bottom vs top ratios in the gay world, is no wonder why so many people are single or just gave up.
Since I started hiring, I'm down to looking for someone who would be a great companion + life partner + friend + complimentary values and is physically attractive to me. If he's great in bed thats a bonus, if not i can farm out my sexual desires to professionals.  My hiring habits would be a topic for discussion…..

Perhaps learn a new language? I have no problem with Spanish, French or German-speaking providers; but, I have to say that communicating with a super cute Ukrainian provider a few years ago was challenging. He was from a small town and, unlike most of his peers, didn’t speak English. Since I was traveling I didn’t have my usual accoutrements, so vanilla worked.
