Who Are You Thankful That You Met?

[curiousnomore]

I was just reading a Thread "Who do you regret not hiring?". I haven't been hiring long enough to have an answer to that question. But, there is a guy that I'm thankful I got to meet. I'll tell you why: he's escorted part-time for years but almost never advertises. I just happened to be in his area when he had an ad on RB. He's better than the highly-reviewed guys I've met, and that is saying a lot. I offered to write a review, since he didn't have one (anywhere), but he said no, and I've honored his request. I'm glad I hired him, even though I can't name him.

 

I'm also thankful that I took a chance and met a new, un-reviewed escort named Sam Cody. He totally blew me away and helped me have the best night of my life.

 

So, who are you thankful for?

[Zman]

I've hired guys through Craigslist that have worked out really well. I know. I know. Craigslist. I got burned a lot on CL too. But I also met some escorts who turned out to be amazing and who would have never appeared on RB or Daddy's.

 

Am I the only one who swims with the sharks in the dangerous waters of CL?

[TruHart1]

Oh my! I have to admit I feel I've been very lucky with the majority of men I've hired. There are only two or three exceptions and they were more on the mediocre side than downright bad experiences. Some escorts are better than others and a few are extra special but all know how to scratch that itch I had when I so fearfully and tentatively hired my very first escort. Therefore I am eternally grateful to EVERY single escort who has delivered on the BFE for me!

Back in the day before Craigslist eliminated their Escort Section section, and more recently from Backpage, I have/had occasionally met some guys off of there. In most cases that I can remember right now, while I may have had ok times with those guys, as a whole they can't compare with the guys I've met from the, ahem, "legitimate" sites.

 

As for finding guys under the Personals Sections on either CL or Backpage, I never had the nerve or the time. If I wanted to meet someone, I usually, unless arranging for an overnight or weekend, wanted someone that day, wanted enough pictures to know what the guy I was looking for actually looked like, wanted a phone number so I could communicate with him, did not want to send a picture of myself, wanted a fairly clear description of what the guy was 'into,' and needed him to have an incall place or be willing to go to a bathhouse (not my favorite place in the world to meet - but sometimes very necessary).

 

So my wants and needs as listed above don't seem to coincide very often with guys who post ads under the CL and Backpage Personals. The 'thrill of the chase' that people who like to use CL and Backpage often talk about really has/had no attraction for me when I wanted to hire. I hired because it was for years the only way I could ever have any sex at all. So when I was interested in hiring, I wanted to hire with a minimum of effort.

 

 

 

So that being said- from the legitimate sites-some of the guys I've enjoyed meeting most are

 

 

1. ******* Dean Monroe**********

2. Andrew Justice

3. Trey Casteel

4. Dirk (from Man To Man)

5. Mark Gordon (from Canada)

6. DavidSf

7. Sean Knight

8. Tyger

9. Raul Manzo

10. Matthew Miller

I'm thankful to the first escort I hired for an overnight appointment. He did many things for me that I'll never be able to fully thank, but most importantly, by spending time with him and many chats over during that time together (1) I realized it was OK to be gay and still live my life, (2) I could be sexy in my own way, and (3) kissing is the best part of being with someone else.

[Guest RexB]

Of the big name guys I'm grateful that I met are, in the order that I met them: Antton Harri, Marco Rossi, Mike Buffalari, Frank the Tank deFeo, Angel Diablo, Trey Casteel, Leo Domenico, Ryan Steel. I'm also grateful that I met all the non-big names that I did, and that list is longer. The truth is, I'm grateful for every guy I ever hired, even the one or two who were not exactly fun experiences because I learned something useful from them about what to be on the look-out for in order to avoid subsequent unpleasant experiences. For me the time spent with escorts is very therapeutic because that's one of the the purposes I've given it.

[+ Gar1eth]

Oh that reminds me. I should have included Dallas Taylor. My first escort, my first man-to-man kiss, my 1st passionate kiss, my 1st Fr Kiss (as I recall during my 1st attempt at kissing he told me I was keeping my lips too tight), my first ever experience of sex. I only met him once. But he taught me so much. He was so very good and gentle with me. I'll always be grateful!!!

I didn't post a lament... I just said he wondered out of the subject about life before RB as if that really mattered, and I'm glad he edited his posting now and added 10 alleged hires from years ago.

 

I'm grateful I met Dario from DC, Chase Matthews from Chicago (I submitted a review about him recently) and Killian James.

 

Btw my Chase Matthews review is up today, enjoy! I sure did like meeting him.

[Zman]

Well I can't think of anyone I hired from Daddy's or RB that I'm thankful for. I really enjoyed the escorts who taught me a thing or two: I've gottem some coaching and picked up some skillz from more than one.

So you haven't been that happy with anyone from Daddys or RB, but you have with Craig's List? That's just so strange to me. But I'm happy you've found guys you like somewhere.

There have been many happy escort experiences, but the 2 gentlemen that I am truly grateful I met are 2 fellow posters on this forum. Both of them showed a kindness, a sensitivity and generosity of heart that is truly unique in this world. For the sake of confidentiality, I will not disclose their screen names here, but ... gentlemen, if you happen to read this, you know who this is, and you know whom I referring to. I will never forget you.

I've been lucky to have met many wonderful guys. But the one that I really connected best with was BrunoNYC. He retired about 7 years ago. A genuine, lovable guy! Bruno if by any chance you read this i'd love to hear from you ...

More recently there is Anthony Starr, Zach Brown, and Shane King. All I've reviewed.

I have met and spent time with some amazingly fabulous guys, but the one that changed my life in more ways than I can list and has become one of my dearest friends is David-SF.

I only met him once. I wish I had had the chance for more. He is such a nice guy.

In my relatively short span of hiring, most of my experiences have been fantastic, some mediocre, some bad, and one god-awful experience.

 

Anyway, I won't get into listing who are all the ones I'm thankful for hiring. However, there is a select number, who are absolutely amazing people and have become true friends (some of which are members of this forum). Those are the ones I remember most, those are the ones I see often... on and off the clock.

 

I just want to thank them for being genuine people and willing to share many aspects of themselves with me.

Now retired Tampa escort Damon Durant gave me probably the best interpretation of the straight, proud, hung trade top I could imagine. He was enthusiastic and verbal the entire time he was with me. While he wasn't the slightest bit affectionate he genuinely seemed to be happy to be with me and to take his pleasure, without any trace of the contempt you can often get with trade.

 

I hired minor porn star Marco Martinelli expecting a total top. While I never look for this type of scene Marco was a very open, friendly man who was instead totally dedicated to my pleasure. He figured out exactly how I needed to be held, handled, stroked and kissed to be brought to two amazing orgasms. He gave so much of himself personally that I didn't develop a lingering expectation for more contact.

 

Retired San Francisco escort Daddy Bruno was one of my few long-term regulars. I would see him two or three times any time I visited SF. He was a classic total top who stretched my limits as he came to know me. He introduced kink in an unpretentious way, and earned my trust through his openness and natural dominance.

[whipped guy]

My first escort was the legendary Reece Rothmeir in NYC... he introduced me to the oh so wonderful world of BDSM on a professional level and as such I will be eternally grateful for having had the privilege of knowning him.

 

Interestingly, I must admit that I learned something from just about every escort with whom I was able to connect. I have had few mediocre experiences and only a couple of really bad hookups. However, I learned something from each and every one of those experiences.

 

As the old saying goes, "Experience is what you get when you don't get what you wanted." I learned and grew as a person even when things did not go as perfectly as I would have wanted. I learned to look for those red flags, and even when I should have walked out before going through with the session, and only once was I put in such a situation.

 

My philosophy is always to turn something bad into something good. While 90 some odd percent of my experiences have been great... I did indeed learn and grow as a person even when things did not go exactly as I would have wanted.

 

So no regrets here at all... It might sound strange to hear that I am grateful for the lessons learned when things were not perfect, but it all ultimately turned out to be a good thing! Consequently, those learning experiences and this forum have resulted in my batting close to 1000 since discovering this site so many years ago.

 

So thanks to all you guys (escorts and clients alike) who make this place tick!!!

Kristian Elix in his early days as an escort, circa 2002. I believe it may have been his first trip as an escort to the Northeast U.S. Great overnight. Beyond the sex I was extremely impressed with Kristian as a person. It was also my first time hiring such an extraordinary person; it made me see what hiring an escort was all about.

[bigvalboy]

Over the years, there are numerous escorts that I was glad to have met, and spend time with. Three of the best were all very recently and will always top my list. I would have to say that the best was my first more than 4 decades ago. It was a real shot in the dark, since in those days there weren't any pictures to go by, only descriptions in a magazine. He was amazing, 28 or so, gorgeous, and built like a brick house. I will never forget that experience and he set the bar pretty high that day. The three that I mention recently were every bit as good, but...he gets extra points for being the first...

[Guest countryboywny]

I can honestly say that I've never had a bad escort experience. Over my years of hiring I have to say that I'm most grateful to the guys who have ALWAYS made me completely happy and NEVER caused me any angst. In chronological order, they are:

 

Will St. John (ret)

Jon Ramsey

Ace (Rockstar)

Brandan Steele

Sigh. If only! That man epitomized my idea of rugged handsomeness and hunkiness. Vuff!

Sigh, I always wanted to meet Kristian. The one time I was going into LA and had an overnight scheduled, he developed a groin injury and had to cancel.

Thirteen plus years later, I guess I can tell the following story. Kristian was a guest of a escort agency. I booked an overnight immediately. His next few days were booked, almost too much. I remember talking to him about it. Kristian was a relatively new escort, at least nationally.

 

I remember K. saying that he had to keep the heavy schedule because he did not want to disappont anyone. I also remember Kristain sitting naked in front of my computer looking at that site -- something I shall never forget!

 

Gman, I am not sure the Kristian is retired; he is still listed here under Los Angeles.
