But above all, that time together should be a SAFE space. In large part, that’s what you’re paying for! When a provider crosses into comments like the ones in Harlow’s post, it disrupts that safety—period!! They go beyond the fantasy and leave the client questioning the boundaries of their relationship. Compliments shrouded in hypotheticals AFTER an ESTABLISHED client-provider PAID experience do absolutely nothing for the client. They’re patronizing, at best. A professional understands the importance of boundaries—and crossing them is not just unprofessional, it’s damaging. We simply have a very different views. To me, such comment is a mind game, but a pro move nonetheless. Professional to me simply means one is excellent at what they do - are they honest or ethical? Thts beside their competency. I simply see that sort of comments as part of escorting business - so a provider excell at such game is a pro from my pov. Whether or not I be keen to participate in the game is another story. + ApexNomad and pubic_assistance 2

It IS a mind game—and that’s precisely my issue. A truly skilled, respectful provider doesn’t need to imply personal interest or play games. They know how to create an unforgettable experience without crossing emotional boundaries or undermining the client’s trust. Those who do use these kinds of comments or exercise these tactics aren’t being professional—it just makes them douchebags. pubic_assistance 1

This creepy, puritanical society makes everyone have a warped view of sex. Human beings are human beings, and the context of our interactions matters significantly. In the realm of professional services, including those provided by escorts, the nature of the relationship is distinct and requires clear boundaries to ensure mutual respect and safety. Just as I wouldn’t expect my doctor—who I am friendly and social with—to blur the lines of our professional relationship by implying, suggesting, or confusing personal interest, the same principle applies to providers. When the provider sweet talks me WITHIN our time together, saying things like, “you’re so fucking hot! Just look at you! I want you. I want you. I wanna be inside you so bad. Show me them eyes when I go inside you. You’re mine and no one else’s!” or when it’s more tender and he places his hand on my face and enters me, “You’re so beautiful. I want you to know that. You feel that? This is what you do to me,” that’s awesome, my toes curl, and it’s great and understood WITHIN our shared moment. Never for a moment do I believe those feelings exist outside that time. It’s the talent of a very skilled provider that makes me enjoy the fantasy. Just like I enjoy the fantasy when my barber cuts my hair and makes me think I’m George Clooney. However, if such comments were to be said OUTSIDE our shared moment (“you’re hot; I want you,” etc.), then we have a problem. Those kinds of remarks would confuse the dynamic and cross a line that I believe should remain clear. pubic_assistance, + Just Chuck and ReynST 1 1 1

Talking to you out of the context of a session is not necessarily them craftiness or disingenuousness. I'm friendly with a couple of regulars on social land sometimes they make complimentary remarks or chat me up.

Context is everything. Yes, being married and mostly hiring together definitely changes the context. That's a good point. I do bristle at the "I would definitely talk to you if you approached me" type of comment. It suggests that the client doesn't think they can score sex with someone that attractive without paying. It's making a lot of assumptions. We primarily hire for convenience. Yes, we can get hookups on Grindr, but it's time consuming and they fall through. We also get a lot of attention online from much younger guys (like 20s) and that's really not our interest. So hiring keeps things clear and easy. Other guys hire because they're shy or socially awkward or they hate the apps. Or they don't want the complexities of seducing someone or they have a particular fantasy they want to try out. In short, I don't think it does providers any favors to assume people are hiring because of their looks. pubic_assistance and + DrownedBoy 1 1

May I suggest taking him up on the offer? Go back to the club where you first saw him (before you found he had a RM profile). Approach him and say "Hi!". Does a conversation happen? If so, does he offer to go back with him? Push the limit ... say something like you weren't looking to hire tonight, but if he's still interested, take him up on the offer. Better yet, pretend you never hired him. If enough time has passed since you hired him, he might not exactly remember you. This would really reveal if he was genuinely interested in you, or just looking for a new regular. jazeboy 1

I completely agree with you about the importance of maintaining boundaries to keep the experience enjoyable, professional, and uncomplicated—I’ve emphasized this several times throughout the thread. Where we might differ (which is fine of course) is on going into a paid encounter with the mindset that the provider is “out of your league.” I believe this mindset can impact your confidence in the time shared together, possibly making you feel inhibited or less desirable in the moment. I think that kills the mood. My advice is simply: don’t go there. Focus on enjoying the experience WITHIN that window and having fun. As I’ve previously mentioned, flattery outside that window can blur intentions and, depending on the context, feel ambiguous or even patronizing.

Especially if I want to arrange a second meeting. I rented a masseur and ended up blowing him ... which he seemed to really enjoy. (I did too, don't get me wrong!) Ejaculating or not could cum down to the same thing in terms of the potential for sufficient arousal within the sexual response cycle. Unlike in unpaid hookups or personal relationships, he more likely stratifies the costs and benefits in such a way as to hold all the cards regarding progress to orgasm or inhibiting orgasm. Whether he actually blows ‘accidentally’ or with true subjective pleasure intention, a possible lapse in physical control finesse or in the contract, or a pre-existing or emergent urge, there is nothing but advantage for him to subtly or overtly impute to you that you were hot enough to govern it. In a transactional context orgasm may be monetized within the session or in terms of repeat booking advantages. In contrast, non-ejaculation may be monetized going forward to a subsequent booking in which situational orgasmic conservation will have had a role that day, or with a partner in which such occupational conservation may be subsequently relevant for intimacy. The point is that absence of orgasm with you may represent no less inevitability for orgasm than if he hadn’t somehow truncated his arousal in order to regulate ejaculation, to the extent of his having mastered ejaculatory control. Labeling his ejaculation as a unique pleasurable outcome for him is overly simplistic because the transactional context uniquely dictates that outcum. While in you he may have been no more no less into you according to whether his orgasm occurs. He holds the superpower majority, so let go of attempts at interpretation regarding your capability for being a turn-on and for considerations of its influence on exchange in kind. His ejaculation can only be an upsell because the broader client constituency both assumes it’s the penultimate aim of sexual satisfaction and is willing to pay for an illusory ego boost. 😏 Edited November 5, 2024 by SirBillybob
