Griffin Donavon in Austin, Texas

[BigK]

I had a great time with Griffin who is traveling currently in Austin until 8/30. So if you're in Texas see him while you can.

I have a review pending. He's currently reviewed on Daddys in Boston.

Even though Griffin is too young for me, I agree he's a cutie.

[Becket]

He looks a bit older and more mature than 23, which for me is a great thing. He seems very mature and confident. I think he is just beautiful, and am hoping that he will move to Texas; as he indicated he was thinking about. I liked him very much and am looking forward to spending more time with him.

I am meeting him in New Orleans for the first time; and from his communications, he is really a courteous guy.

I wanted to see Griffin when he came through DC a few months ago as I liked his pictures. However I read a message

thread on this forum in March about him where a poster said Griffin makes clients wear a condom if they want him to suck them.

 

Griffin confirmed that in the thread, so that was a absolute deal breaker for me. Does anyone know if he has changed that policy or does he still require clients to wear a condom for oral? I can't imagine he can keep that busy if he is still insisting on it.

[Guest verymarried]

Believe it or not, I find that an attractive quality. Some small confidence that a partner is trying to reduce his health risk is actually a deal maker for me. While I am kidding myself that intimacy with someone with multiple partners is risk-free, when my anxiety about the issue is reduced, I enjoy myself more.

In my private time i only use condoms sucking ...................... on women ... ugh.. umm.. girls give you coodies!!! Ewwwww! *anxiety pills please.. *griffin runs away swiftly from forum.

While "verymarried" may find a escort who prefers to suck on rubber a attractive quality, to me and I suspect to a lot of other clients it would be a very dissatisfying experience. In my 15 years of hiring I can count on one hand the number of escorts who would only give head if I was wearing a condom. However a escort has to be comfortable with what he does, so as long as he realizes his policies will limit his business then more power to him.

 

What Griffin should do is be honest and tell potential clients he will insist on condoms for oral, and ideally have some sort of reference to that in his ads. When I initially contacted him about setting up a meeting in DC I asked him details about what he would and wouldn't do. Like most clients I want to make sure I am a good match with the escort before meeting. Griffin would not discuss anything sexual only referring me to his Rentboy ad which said the same thing that he does not discuss sexual matters.

 

I specifically asked him about his policies on oral since I had read the March message thread about him requiring condoms for oral. He would again only reply that he doesn't discuss sexual matters, but I would be very happy with his services. That was too vague a answer so I didn't book, and actually his reply that I would be "happy with his services" knowing that I didn't want to use condoms for oral seemed a bit deceptive.

 

His pictures seem very nice and he has good reviews, if I thought he still didn't require condoms for oral then I would certainly book him on his next trip to DC as he is a cutie.

Bear,

Thank you for taking the time and writing about your concerns.. The concern's you adress have been resolved after my first visit into Boston month's ago.

 

I love my job, im passionate about it. In order to stay on top, I changed my policy.. I was hoping most would have found out by now.

Huh? Why be so COY? The only thing I'm certain of from reading what you wrote is: (a) you think girls give you cooties, and (b) you want a Xanax or an Ativan. A little more precision in your language would be helpful to all concerned. No one faults you for your limitations, just be upfront with them.

 

For example, had you said: "In my private time, I only use condoms," that is a fairly concise statement. Although then one wonders exactly what "private time" means. However, when you say: "In my private time I only use condoms sucking," that could lead one to believe you don't use condoms for other activities, which I don't think was you intention. And when you say: "In my private time, I only use condoms sucking......women" that could lead one to believe you don't use condoms sucking men. Again, I don't think that was your intention based on the comment of others, but your words are less than clear.

 

Would it really be that hard to say: "Yes, I only perform oral sex using a condom" or "Yes, I require condoms for sucking."

[Griffin Donavon]

Scorpio,

It was a light joke, I was only trying to make other's laugh. You will see on my other post above your post, I was very direct. let me say it more direct "In my private time I don't suck dick with a condom"... If the sharks are coming near this beach, im walking away from the beach.

[bostonnycguy]

Way to go Griffin! I'm happy to know that I started the question months ago that changed your mind.

wow, Scorpio....having a bad morning?....even I saw a joke in it!....don't take it all so seriously.....

[Michael Wayne]

As sort of the old obi wan kenobi of male escorts here I can tell this forum that I believe THIS YOUNG MAN is the next GREAT number one male escort in America. This is Annakin!!! My communications with him have been amazing and I cant wait to see this VISION face to face. He seems to understand customer service and how to treat a client. He seems to be a true pro in every way. He is highly reccomended by me! http://www.rentboy.com/magicmikey

Dear Griffin,

Thank you for taking part on the board. You come across as an intelligent and nice guy and you will be on my list to hire if our paths cross because of your writings here (and your great pictures).

 

Glad you cleared up the condom/oral use issue. I wrote catalog and ad copy for many years and the rule was always be clear rather than cute and avoid "jokes" that some may not understand. Just keep it easy to understand and simple. Copy needs to communicate first and not show off your writing skills.

 

Good luck in becoming a great escort.

[BearDad58]

Since he apparently requires clients to wear a condom for oral he certainly wouldn't be number one in my book. After reading his coy and vague replies in this thread I have to assume he still requires clients to wear condoms. His pictures are cute and I would be willing to book him if he no longer has that policy. I am glad Mikey has had good communications with him, as with me it was just the opposite as when I contacted him on his DC trip and asked him point blank if he required condoms for oral, he said he doesn't discuss sexual matters but I would be very pleased with his services.

 

That's hardly amazing communications as Mikey puts it, if anything I consider his response deceptive at best to say I would be happy with his services knowing that I did not want to use condoms for oral. Fortunately I saw another message thread about him where posters said he required condoms so I didn't book him. If I had seen him and he tried the condom routine on me, I would have been quite upset and he would have received a negative review for sure.

 

I would have submitted the review not because he has that policy, but because of his deceptive answer after I made it very clear I did not want to use condoms for oral. All of the top escorts including Mikey have clear ads that are not vague and none of them say they won't discuss sexual matters. I have met Mikey and he was extremely clear on the phone about what he would and wouldn't do, as have all the other top reviewed escorts I have been with. Hopefully Grifffin will take a cue from them.

[kevininsa]

Um... Bear? I think if you re-read his posts above he is clear that he changed his policy.

[BearDad58]

Yes I read where he said "in my private time I don't suck dick with a condom" but that still seems vague and unclear to me. What does private time mean exactly? I would think private is when he is being intimate with his boyfriend or someone close and everyone else including clients would be considered "public time". At any rate if he wants to he can clarify if "private time" means time spent with clients. I would hope it does -

Check post #9, in which he says: In order to stay on top, I changed my policy.. I was hoping most would have found out by now.

I had the opportunity to spend a couple of hours with Griffin when he travelled thru Atlanta and he is very much recommended. I found him to be very profession and had no communication issues whatsoever. And.... I have to say.. the guy is freaking drop-dead gorgeous.
