When are you willing to hire again?

[+ DrownedBoy]

I just had a long session with one of my cheaper regulars. I'm good for another month. Next time I'll hire my most muscular regular.

[Cruiser7]

I think I’d be willing to go back to business if I test positive for antibodies. I know, we don’t know if that grants immunity, but it usually does for all other viruses. The main question seems to be for how long.

 

Plus, never having had symptoms if I was positive for antibodies it would seem to show it may not affect me that badly. Of course I’m assuming and that’s a risk, but then so is hiring. As long as I can’t get anyone else sick, that’s when I’ll be comfortable.

I guess my own answer to this question is ... yesterday. A regular provider here in Portland, who I've been texting with fairly regularly since all this started, got ahold of me just as I finished my weekend chores. After some banter, he asked if I had any plans for the afternoon, I told him no, and he made an offer I couldn't refuse. Over the last few years, our routine has developed where we split the cost of a hotel room, and spend one or two hours, usually every few weeks or so. Unfortunately,over the holidays and new year, we hadn't been able to schedule anything, so I had only text or calls with him for the better part of a year..

 

So, yesterday, he offers up a hour at his place (no hotel cost) for half the usual price- he says he misses having me around, and we need to catch up in person. I've been careful about the social distancing thing, but its been three months now, and because I've known the guy so long, I wasn't embarrassed to ask about his health. He says, "all good here", so I take him up on the offer. Guess the hormones got the best of me, but , hell, three hours of good, cheap fun was greatly appreciated, and it was good to make a reconnection. I suppose, for me, the time was right.

So.... The time was right when the price was cheap.

 

Long story short, you made your choice. Good for you.

More like, the time was right AND the price was right, would not have have arranged anything yet with someone I did not already know well.

I would use the words affordable or lower than usual rate but not cheap fun.

 

Will you pay his usual rate in the future or will the discount go on? I'm afraid you gave some folks on here ideas about how to proceed and take advantage of this times, it will up to the escorts to accept it.

The escort also made his choice and I'm sure it wasn't the first time he decided to violate social distancing while being nice and lowering his rate.

 

I had friends who bought the "all good here" in the 80's and 90's and they're no longer around.

Sounds like you made a good choice! I’m having frequent discussions with a regular the last week or two...we are almost (but not quite!) ready to schedule.

[big-n-tall]

I have a number of risk factors that weigh heavy on my decision to hire or not (which colored my previous response).

 

However I must admit I’m getting antsy and both my wrists are beginning to hurt. Lol! Very early January I had a bad injury that took a while to heal. By the time it did, and I was back to a level that sex wouldn’t exacerbate the injury, the pandemic had exploded across the country.

 

One of the providers I see frequently really wants to see me. He’s been social distancing with family (same as I) and knows of my health risks. So as much as he wants to see me and I him, he is very concerned about even the slightest possibility he might make me sick. So obviously we are both torn to say the least.

 

If the meet up happens there is no way we aren’t kissing. It also wouldn’t be a short visit. He’d be driving a long distance to meet. So we’d probably hole up in a hotel for 3 days. I told him he definitely will be walking funny after if this all goes down.

With all due respect, let’s not get caught up in semantics. I doubt @pdxleo intended that as a reflection on his provider or quality of experience, just that it was a cheaper price than usual. Leo obviously has a good relationship with this provider and they have a good vibe together. Whether he pays the regular or discounted price in the future is up to the two of them. I also doubt clients who would “low-ball” a provider during this time needed Leo’s post to give them the idea. Ultimately, it takes two to tango and it was the provider who made the offer.

Only time will tell if they go back to the previous price and the experience is also as good.

 

I just don't like the word cheap when we're talking about hiring another person for something more personal thn a haircut. Maybe it's just me... with all due respect too!

 

Great post!

 

Isn't clicking "like" when someone disagrees with me enough, must you quote him?

 

 

I guess soon you'll post about a great cheap time you had with a hot young provider who doesn't escort to others.

[+ DrownedBoy]

On the one hand, if I'm on RM late at night, I do get people contacting me and offering deals. However, there's a lot fewer available, and not hot enough that I'd hire.

 

After that meeting with my regular, I'm good for another 2 months. I'll deal with it the same way I did with the previous months. As a high class Italian courtesan once told a famous French philosopher:

 

"Gianetto, lascia le donne, e studia matematica."

[DMICS]

I'm definitely thinking to end my drought soon. Especially with my birthday recently passing. If it happens, I'll be good for a few months like @DrownedBoy.

[+ pdxleo]

You guys are correct, the use of "cheap" was not respectful on my part. However, he set his price, and I didn't bargain, never will- and I'll be paying regular price in future, I think he was just reaching out to test the market, and I was his research study!

you're a gentleman!

 

I hope others will follow the example and won't take advantage of this situation but I doubt it

[+ Pensant]

Speaking of PDX, there’s a cutie there who I’ll probably see at the end of the month. I don’t have any risk factors other than age and I’ve been awfully good for a long time.

[+ pdxleo]

Funny coincidence, while I'm working in Missouri at the end of the month, I may be partaking of a certain Ozark cutie myself! Happy hunting!

I pay my usual generous two hour rate. The provider is happy and I am, so we can focus on our fun time. They’ve been telling me that the low-ballers are out in force.

Agreed!

 

Escorts keep getting messages like: "how much", etc.

 

In several threads some posters are out and proud about getting a "cheap" price now or after they start hiring.

 

Please quote them.

Market forces apply to everything. That doesn't mean the same negotiating tactics are appropriate for everything. I expect escort rates will come down simply because it looks like we are in for an extended downturn. But bragging about it feels like dancing on a grave, frankly. and haggling(beyond one offer) is unseemly, IMO.

Agree! Market will dictate, and may differ across social platforms.

 

Much chatter about “bragging”, I’ve not really seen that ??‍♂️

I thought today was going to be the day, but decided to call it off. I’ll wait a little longer. Several super hot providers in my area are waiting, so it makes certain sense. For now...

But that was happening anyway, as sites such as RM don't allow amounts to be shown anymore.

It's epidemic now. Pretty much the only guys texting escorts the low-ballers @Pensant mentioned.

 

Are you friend of any escorts? Ask them.

Some on here already have paying less already in their minds and they seem to be proud of it. Before Covid-19 they were already bragging about all the great deals (real or imaginary) they were getting. I guess they never had a proper youth and now it's their time. Maybe they were closeted, not in shape, shy or and just afraid to show up at a bar. Who knows? It's like they have a penis/butt (sex) in their minds constantly because the lack of a proper youth.
