411: SIR Tony

[Lankypeters]

I notice Tony Bishop is also working as SIR Tony. Any reports on his BDSM skills? I can't find much of anything on this in the reviews.

[Decatur Guy]

He appears to market himself two ways in two different ads. In one, it's as a more vanilla/mainstream top who will do the boyfriend to passionate route, and in the SIR Tony ad, as a very dominant, potential BDSM guy.

 

It's actually a pretty good idea.

I am interested as well. His ad and at least one review mentions a dungeon space... Unfortunately in NYC a "dungeon" is usually the guy's bedroom... and if you're lucky he might have black sheets on it... but who knows... this may be the real thing... at least that's the implication.

 

In addition, it will be interesting to see if he keeps his dual personality, or if he becomes a specialist. Interestingly, an escort by the name of Conrad... and who the heck would hire a guy named Conrad for BDSM?!?... morphed into Master Avery... and the rest is history as they say!

Another thought or two...

 

Regarding stage names there was a guy who advertised under two names a few years ago... Trevor and Radar.... the ads were essentially identical... but there was no way in hell in was going to hire a guy named Trevor for S&M!

 

However, back to Tony's two stage names... In his case the ads are not identical. Tony Bishop lists his hourly rate... Sir Tony lists "Ask Me". for his hourly rate.. I can understand a "specialist" charging more and especially if he is upfront with his fees... but the "Ask Me" is potentially red flag material.

I can imagine that escorts that specialize is BDSM varying their rates depending upon what's being asked for. If you're asking for a simple flogging, it wouldn't be that extensive. However, if you're asking for things with a ton of work (i.e. heavy duty bondage, suspension, etc), it's a lot more work, and I would suspect, more money.

I agree, but if the guy is set up for that sort of thing with a dungeon it really is not a big deal... and just like any other profession specialists can, usually do, and probably should charge more. So definitely, if the guy feels he should charge more for BDSM that is certainly his right, and indeed that is the way the economic system works. That part does not bother me in the least... it is the "Ask ME" which might imply a different price depending upon his mood that bothers me... or even possibly based on how desperate the client sounds. Way back when, Reece Rothmeier... and I hate mentioning his name because it always saddens a number of guys around here who lament his retirement... had a full service dungeon/playroom and had a single fee schedule based on what he thought his BDSM services were worth. Indeed we've had discussions here where the "Ask Me" was a turn off for vanilla services as well.

I visited SIR TONY this week. His dungeon is not an alcove to a bedroom but rather a fully equipped space occupying an entire room. The high-ceilinged space is clean and seems to have the goods for just about whatever a guy wants to do -- or have done to him. I don't know what Tony Bishop is like in the sack, but SIR TONY in the dungeon seems entirely up to handling everything in the room, including a novice like me. We discussed matters very specifically before we began -- over a beer he offered me -- and he delivered exactly what I wanted. He looks exactly like his pictures, most of which were shot in the dungeon space. I'm rather new to the BDSM scene and I had an exciting time.

Hey... Lanky thanks for the update. This sounds very promising and it is encouraging to hear that you had a good time... actually even better "an exciting time"! More importantly it sounds as though he respected any limits and concerns that you had... and that is the way it should be. Again thanks for taking one for the team!
