2025 Stock market crash affecting escorts and masseurs?

[BaronArtz]

With stocks in deep decline during the last week, I shudder each time I look at my investment portfolios.  Luckily, my current income is more than sufficient to fund 3-4 sessions per month, which is a level that I am happy with.

However, since last week, I am seeing a sharp uptick in unsolicited messages from regulars, past hires and even from new guys whose profile I viewed casually on rentmasseur and rentmen.  That did not happen before - only rarely.  Suddenly, the guys are more available and more eager to meet.   I get offers saying 'I am available all day today (Saturday), 'available all week next week' and so on.  

Is anyone else having that experience?

Most (not all) of the escorts and massuers I hire aren't 59.5 years old yet, so they haven't started to touch their retirement accounts.  So, no, they haven't reached out to me supplement their income recently

I wish they would reach out to me! As a fat guy a provider sending me a message tells me he wants my business.

I think the issue, if there is one, is not that the current state of markets and the economy are on their minds, but rather that they may have noticed clients might be hiring less.

Exactly my thoughts.

We've gotten hit a up a few times in the past week or two. I suspect people are hiring less because of all the uncertainty.

Thank makes perfect sense to me.

I'm sure that is right and is especially true in places like NYC (where I am), where the finance industry drives the economy.

Yet still high rates 😮‍💨

Spring fever ?

Any competent investor knows how to weather a correction in the market.

Real Estate is a great place to be right now. Rental income is way up due to a collapsed dollar. Crashing the stock market will slow the economy and force the Fed to lower interest rates. Lower rates will create a wider spread on Real Estate investments and bring increased profit. But these cycles take months. So personally I would love the market to crash. Right now it's just a correction from overblown hype. Hardly a "crash".

But there are certainly more than a few people with money in the markets who are ill prepared to understand a long range strategy ..so those types will indeed, panic and lower their spending in response.

The smart person with the right diversity and understanding of the opportunity that comes from downward movement will be forecasting an INCREASED income.

Escorts and masseurs can be viewed as an Indulgence or as a necessity for your overall mental health. To me...if your entire sex life is based on hiring, I would equate cutting back on escort spending as an example of the old "deciding between medicine and food" trope.  Sad that your retirement strategy was so poorly planned that you worry about a simple market correction.

Considering the current loss of esteem and respect for the U.S. around the world, along with the isolation activities of the U.S., conventional market sell/buy survival strategies may need tweaking to be effective in this current market environment.

This is why many people shouldn't be doing their own investing.

A smart person saw this correction coming from a mile away. If you don't understand the opportunities that a market correction brings ...you shouldn't be doing your own investing.

Never mind, that this thread is not about retirement or financial planning but whether providers are reaching out. 

That was the intention of starting this thread.  No need to digress.

Back generally to the topic at hand. If the economy downturns for any significant time span I think we in this forum will see a multitude of fallout effects (similar to what I have seen in in the past - back in the dot com bust and also in the great recession).

• We could see in influx of new guys that become providers due to their personal situation (job loss, etc).
• The "rate-game' will be like the old Doctor Doolittle PushMe-PullMe.  Inflation and providers trying to make a bit more due to need and clients cutting back due to budgetary issues
• Potentially more scams due to desperation
• Potentially more options on the market 
• More out reach from established providers to their middle tier clients (i.e. those that are less frequent but known entities)  

I for one will continue to be a "patron of the gentlemanly arts" (saw that in another post and really liked the sound of it....makes me feel philanthropic). 

To that end, I will be in NYC later this month (April 2025).  I will be seeing some regulars and also be on the lookout for new providers (so any of you out there reading this that are bottoms that like to give it all to a top client, let me know).  Could be fun if interests, rates, and availability are aligned.

It's not the stock market affecting these providers, it's the stock market affecting their booked clients. 

As these clients (of retirement age, or near retirement age) see their investments collapse, they are canceling on their pre-booked providers. They are canceling their 'all day Saturday' or '3 hour Sunday' appointments they booked prior to April 2. Now they are scrambling to fill up their schedule (and understandably so).

The title of the thread is "stock market crash". So I'm hardly off-topic by first correcting the understanding of the current market situation, as a correction. The market didn't "crash". People who don't understand investment strategies "crashed" inside their brains because they dont understand the opportunity of downward shifts... This always affects people's spending habits. I would imagine there are more than a few gay men who are older and retired and living on their investment portfolio. More than a few also have a sex life that is reliant on hiring.  So if you're panicking about the market right now..then YES your spending habits might change based on how important your sex life is to you.

Can’t wait for newbies because the entire NYC page from both RM & RM are so boring! Except my top 2 favorites, the rest is so boring or lower quality 🥲

When can i meet someone like Jared K. or Sean K. from pumpingmuscle …

I don't hire much when I'm home in NYC...but I do like to browse.

I see quite a few new faces every week. Are you saying there isn't enough of them or that those who ARE passing through aren't providers of quality 🤔?

As of last night, I can’t find a single one to try 🥲

The body & the face are not there…

You can get a little spoiled in NYC because there is a rather large number of providers to pick from...allowing you to be "picky".

I am also fairly narrow in my tastes...but there's always someone in NYC who would satisfy my list of preferences.

The only category that seems elusive here is a steady supply of Hollywood all American boy types. (fortunately for ME that's not of any major interest to me)

This is the growing problem I'm seeing in my area (RI/Southeastern MA) for the past few years. And when I have tried the new guys out in the past, I find they have no experience (despite what their ad says).

Just a handsome face, hot body for me to touch, nice dick I can play with, and a bottle of J&J Baby Oil they liberally pour all over my ass (not the rest of my body) and rub my ass before they turn me over in 15 minutes.  All mine for $200+ and the hour appointment is over in 40 minutes.

Your minimization of the tariffs and how they alter nearly 80 years of international trade relationships is mind boggling.

I thought we were talking about spending on escorts ?

I made NO comments about tarrifs. No idea what you're rattling on about.
