On the occasion of my 2000th post, I thought I would share some of the more important things I have learned in nearly eight years on this site.

 

1. The number of bodies for sale out there is enormous, but only a small minority are professional escorts.

 

2. Some guys may get into the business only for the money, but those who stay there do so because they enjoy turning on other men, even those to whom they are not personally attracted.

 

3. The best escorts understand that they are not selling sex but a fantasy--and the fantasy that matters is the client's, not their own.

 

4. A surprising number of clients make large, and often unwise, emotional investments in their relationships with escorts. Remember: no matter how great a guy he is, and how much he may really like you, he is still having sex with you mainly because you are paying him.

 

5. There are probably as many clients who feel contempt for the men they pay for sex as there are escorts who feel contempt for the men who pay them; they deserve one another.

 

6. Despite 4 and 5 above, the majority of men who are willing to talk here about their hiring of escorts seem fairly healthy mentally, and can analyze their practices rationally.

 

7. Advertised age, height and cock size are approximations; to avoid disappointment, always add years and subtract inches.

 

8. It's rarely a good idea to pay upfront at the first meeting.

 

9. You can learn more about the escort from one phone call than from a half dozen emails.

 

10. Never hire someone who advertises as "exclusively top" but uses only ass shots in his ad.

 

11. If a page appeared with actual photos of all the (non-escort)posters here, I could never match the names to the faces; no one I have met through this board looks anything like my original mental image of him.

 

12. The price of an overnight usually includes time for sleep.

 

13. Condoms and lubricant are the responsibility of the escort, unless the client has a special request.

 

14. Porn stars expect to be paid more for escorting, but usually are less accommodating.

 

15. No matter how carefully you think you have expressed yourself in a post or a review, someone will probably misinterpret your meaning or your intention.

 

If I live long enough to get to 3000, I'll add some others (provided I can remember what I said here).

I know one poster who looks exactly the way you pictured him. Well, more or less.

Not a general rule, in my experience. There are some with personalities that shine brightly in email, but (like me -- and not just with escorts) are ill at ease on the phone.

Charlie,

 

I agree with almost all of your observations.

 

I would add one more.

 

Have a great time, but don't post postive comments that are less than accolades, or any negative comments that are reflective.

Charlie, I will never reach 2,000 posts, maybe not even 200, but I liked all of your comments. They are all sound bits of advice, IMHO and limited experience.

I also want to wish you Congratulations--but I also want to hear the Casey Donovan story. If he is former blond muscled guy--I talked with him several years ago when he had his ad up on Rentboy. He stopped advertising before I could bring him to Texas.

 

I wonder if he is doing ok.

Yes, it's real. But the color is ....... uh.......enhanced?

 

A blessing that the bald spot is in the back. The only time I see it is when I try on clothes in front of a three-way mirror.

 

"Who is that bald man over there??????? Pay no attention........."

The Casey Donovan (also known as Calvin Culver) whom Lucky refers to was the lead actor in the legendary movie "Boys in the Sand." He died of AIDS many years ago. We did the deed on Fire Island one night in the 1970s, when hot young guys still did that sort of thing with me for free.

Hmmm....in checking out the old thread, written while I was still just a child, I see that you could write about a lot more than Casey!

#4388, "RE: Porn Star Escorts Of The Past......"

In response to Reply # 0

 

 

This thread certainly brings back memories....Like the post about Mike Marino, who was one of my favorite fantasies until I actually had him; he turned out to be as impressive in the flesh, but not too bright or good in bed (actually, on the floor), though he was willing to do absolutely anything as long as he was on top. Eric Ryan was older than I expected, but incredibly masculine in an unaffected way; just being held by him could make me cum. I used to see Bruno around but never had sex with him, though another escort said he was a sweet bottom for free; I believe he is still working in NY, possibly under the name Julio (?). Michael (or Mario) Delfino looked a lot like him but was a real sociopath, the scariest hustler I've ever been with; I was told he ended up in an institution for the criminally insane. Finally, Casey Donovan/Calvin Culver was the only porn star who ever picked ME up, one night on Fire Island in the 70's, for fifteen minutes of fumbling passion on the beach, before he went on to one of the many people he had sex with that night.

Please don't add years to my age (30) or take away any much needed inches to the willy. I don't want to rush right into retirement just yet. Although you can add a few grays my head, the one connected to my shoulders :( Happy 2000 posts :D!

 

Hugs,

Greg

Congratulations, Charlie!

I agree with most everything you said, too. However, I, too, actually advertise my correct cock size and, when asked, tell my correct age (and just leave it off of my advertising.) But, I know what you mean, I sometimes am very tempted to keep up with the Joneses and falsify my ads. But, then, eh! Why?

And if you did someday see a page with photos of all of the men who correspond on here as clients, I really do think that you would be very surprised that some of them are buying instead of selling. (Not that some people don't do both! LOL)

And many happy returns!!
