Where are the "Maximum" guys?

[Lankypeters]

Are any of the guys once part of the Maximum stable still around?

[Lewis H]

If I'm not mistaken, I think Kurt and Benjamin are former Maxim guys who are still active:

Hi Lanky. The bodybuilder Logan, from Maximum, who had a Rentboy ad for quite a while as NYALPHAMALE649 and who also did porn under the name of Apollo Phoenix, http://www.smutjunkies.com/profiles/p/e_stars/Phoenix_Apollo/index.html and Joe Thunder, http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=joe+thunder+porn&qpvt=joe+thunder+porn&FORM=IGRE back in 2008-9 is still escorting in the NYC area where he stays quite busy with his regular job. I always try to hire him when I am in New York!

 

The last time there was an enquiry about him here on the forum (March 2014) I contacted him because his Rentboy ad was gone. He was happy to tell me he still is available and gave me permission to give out his contact email. If you are interested in contacting him, here’s the thread with that information: http://www.companyofmen.org/showthread.php?97797-Bodybuilder-Formerly-Listed-With-Maximum-Escorts&highlight=NYALPHA649

I understand that some of the guys joined 'man-to-man escorts'. One of them is Zach, who still is with 'man-to-man'. I don't remember what Zach's name was while working for Maximum - I would think the same. I have hired a few guys from 'man-to-man' and recommend them highly. Dave, who runs it, is a class act. Nothing but nice things to say about him, and about the guys I met as a result of his introductions.

Maximum was a first-rate agency; its departure was a turning point in the history of male escorting.

 

Stephen, the co-owner and usually the guy who answered the phone, still keeps in touch with several of the guys Maximum represented, including Ross, probably the agency's best escort and certainly Stephen's favorite; Derek, a hot blond jock and aspiring actor who was my favorite; and others who have moved on to more conventional occupations.

 

A year and a half ago, I saw Stephen and asked him to see if Derek were willing to have another go with private shows; I never heard from Stephen on this matter and assume that there is insufficient interest on Derek's part. Sigh . . . .

I met up with Kurt NYC (Varsity Kurt) in the Fall. He add is no longer available on RB but he is still active on Daddy's. Does anyone know if he is still around?

Is Joe Thunder also the gentleman who did some work for Jake Cruise?

Joe Thunder is, in fact. Apollo Phoenix (Logan from Maximum), and did some scenes with Jake Cruise under the Joe Thunder name. He was also in a scene with a woman back then in a series of videos called Straight Guys for Gay Eyes, which may have been a Jake Cruise production, if memory serves.

Just noticed this old thread was revived... damn I had some fun with a couple of those Maxie Guys... I was always intrigued with Logan, but Stephen said he was too tame and sweet for my tastes.

 

Also, I have always wondered if Stephen still monitors this board... We had a lot in common... and not just related to escorting... Let's just say that he would enjoy my posts on a certain singer in the Arts Forum...

 

Either way I wish him well...

Max -- and Stephen -- were first rate and so reliable. I always had good times through them.

Certainly Logan/Joe/Apollo is one of the nicest, sweetest and hottest furnishers of a wonderful BFE I've ever met! He has told me that he is completely into vanilla only, so you (and Stephen) are most likely correct in the assessment that he would be too tame for you, WG. Different strokes for different folks!

Exactly! Plus you know the kind of strokes that I like!

 

Nick aka Nick Harman was my guy back then! Actually BIG smile in my face!

Indeed WG, I believe most of us have gleaned from your many erudite posts regarding a taste for B & D just what sort of strokes you enjoy!

While I'm not denying that in general they had a good reputation, they way oversold an Irish guy named Collin that they repped around 2009. He might have been ok for short meetings. But I think they should have known him well enough to know that he wasn't ready, if ever, for a long weekend visit. That kind of meeting was way out of his comfort zone.

 

Anyone know whatever happened to the German porn star they represented at one time. His name was Hans something. I was interested in hiring him. But I could never tell how interactive he would be-if he could really give a boyfriend experience.

When Collin started working for them he was terrific. I filed a review here on him. Then he went on his own and a fell apart. There may have been drug issues. He started offering really discounted appointments-- $150, or even less. I saw him for one of those. It was, for sure, a blue plate special. Satisfying, but little more than that. Though I did enjoy watching him sit buck naked in my wing chair after we got it off and just talked a bit. Since then, he's fallen off he radar. As for Hans, I saw a Hans who worked independently. I don't know if he was the same Hans. (He did some porn for Michael Lucas.) This guy was tall, thin, nordic (what else?) and sinewy. He could be difficult and had attitude, which could be a turn on. "Do you vant me to phoook you?" Well, now that you mention it......This Hans went home to the Fatherland for a visit. When he tried to return he was stopped at Immigration over passport and/or other issues. He's not hereabouts that I know of.

[whipped guy]

Regarding Collin, he was hyped as the best thing since sliced bread.

 

I was intrigued by all the good press, so when a guy that I was supposed to see in NYC canceled on me 24 hours in advance and was given the opportunity to hire him I did. I was at the MET and remember calling Steven between the two acts of Mozart's Don Giovanni and asked who might be available to do a BDSM scene the next day. He said that in addition to Nick that Collin would be able to handle such a scene. Well I was thrilled. Actually as things turned out the session with Collin was okay and I enjoyed myself. However, there were really no real sparks. I was also taken aback by his overly colorful tattooed arms, which had been airbrushed from his pics on the Maxie website. So he was hardly they alabaster sculpture that I had expected to see walk into the room. Shortly after that Collin more or less drifted out of the picture. A good friend hired him under another moniker shortly thereafter and was not totally impressed. So like the proverbial meteor in the nighttime sky he sort of did his thing and then fizzled out.

[LookingAround]

Because Colin was touted as the next best thing to sliced bread I hired him through maxim. I had a terrible time. He wasn't that interactive and talked about his fondness for drugs. No chemistry between us. I was shocked how bad it was.

[whipped guy]

One more thing about Collin, while he himself smelled fresh and was squeaky clean. I recall getting on my knees and when I put my face in his crotch his underwear reeked BIGTIME of smoke. I ripped them off as fast as I could, but not for THAT reason. I could not stand the stench so I tossed them all the way across the room.

 

After having a session with one of his guys, I always called Steohen to thank him. Well I did not have a bad time with Collin in the final analysis so I did indeed thank him, but Stephen was also interested in my thoughts on the opera that I had seen at the MET the pervious night. Let's just say that Don Giovanni was overall a better experience than was Collin, but then we're talking about Mozart!

I remember a guy similar to what you are describing-blond-athletically thin-into kink and later barebacking along with bareback porn. I also remember that he smoked. But the guy I remember with this description went by Lars (I had to think for a bit to come up with that name). I never met him, but if it is Lars you are actually talking about, I had considered him before I knew about all the kink. I eventually decided he wasn't my type.

 

The Hans that I'm thinking of, if I'm remembering his name correctly, was a lot more muscular and boy next door looking than the one I remember as Lars. Plus Lars never worked for Maximum as far as I know.

 

ADDENDUM: I just had a vague memory that the guy I've been thinking of might have once been a Special Guest of Premier Escorts. I looked and I'm pretty sure this is the guy I was talking about. He went by Derek at Premier. But I'm fairly sure his usual porn name was Hans Something-Or-Other. He was so well-known that he was one of the few that actually had face pictures on Maximum's site.

http://www.premierescorts.com/graphics/pguests_xtra_photos/derek-3.jpgHans/Lars -- all those Nordics. The blond pictured here was indeed Hans and did rent out through Maximum. I saw him when he was on his own. Twice, actually. He was hot, friendly and a great fuck. I insisted on pulling off his T-shirt just to unveil that wow of a chest. He was working as a trainer somewhere in New Jersey, or so he said. He confided that one of his regulars was a closeted, married Hassidic. I asked if Hans had to fuck him through a sheet with a hole in it.

Nope. Haven't seen hide nor hair of him for several years. Actually, he didn't have much hair.

Of course you are all forgetting Mr. Dane Scott, who worked for Maximum for many years then went out on his own, and is still one of the top in the business, as all of his accolades on the Forum confirm, both as an escort and as a gentleman and friend.

Yes indeed, the Great Dane was with Maximum back in NYC before he moved to Chicago where I was lucky enough to meet him!

 

In addition, Ares in NYC, who posts here as AresEscortNYC, was originally a part of the Maximum stable, though I met and hired him (my first hire ever! ) after that period in his life!

The blond stud above did porn using the name Hans Hintern. Hired him once. Outstanding.
