So Who Lit Up Your Year In 2015?

[Muscle Lover 2]

1. Giovanni Volta (can he be # 1, 2 and 3?)

2. Damien Lord (Milwaukee, WI)

3. Dave (Chicago Topper)

[hekilio]

1. Brenner Bolton

2. Nicky Blue Eyes

3. Mike M (LA)

[+ azdr0710]

1. Alec Andrews - important to me is a low-key, unpretentious, honest, and savvy (LUHS) guy....Alec is all of this.....in fact, he's so honest he even said I was "hard to figure out" at one point....glad he is comfortable saying that

 

2. Mike Gaite - also very much meets the LUHS test....legendary wit...like the others here in my list, he doesn't need to be impressed with Four Seasons suites and dinner at Nobu

 

3. Trophyhusband (TH) - again, meets my LUHS test....his thread (and my review) sparked a minor shitstorm here recently (he may not be for everyone), but he's my kind of guy

 

 

Tristan Baldwin remains my long-time favorite, but he won this thing already!

[whipped guy]

Raul G. Manzo

 

I most definitely can't think of any other individual who is more deserving of the title than RGM. There are a lot of new guys on the block and guys who have just begun to go around the block. However, excellence and longevity need to be acknowledged and Raul has certainly been around the block and shows no evidence of slowing down. Plus, they don't come any kinder or more giving.

 

In fact I know of few others who are as smart and astute as is Raul. During a recent conversation with a friend I referenced Raul as being the one of smartest individuals who I know. Mensa material indeed! Of course since my friend does not know about my hobby I did not mention that Raul could probably be a member of the little known sexual division of Mensa as well! His talents certainly know no bounds! If anyone can go from mild to wild and be able to discuss art, music, and philosophy, in the process it is Raul! The simple fact is that he can do either a BFE or BDSM and still be able to integrate all that the humanities have to offer! A treasure indeed! Oh, and he is a total expert at gardening and the culinary arts. He can not only grow it, but can cook it as well! Once Again we're talking Mensa material! We often compare notes and as usual this year Raul won the prize. He kept his basil alive and well long after mine had bit the dust!

 

Tristan Baldwin

 

Even though he has been there before I need to acknowledge how how special he has been to me over the past year. If Raul has been around the block, well TB has not only been around the block, but actually helped build the block! I know that I am an unorthodox client and that as such I certainly puzzle and perplex him. Of that I am certain. He even has stated that he feels that he has never been able to totally satisfied me. However, I need to express my appreciation and make it evident that nothing could be further from the truth. Plus, if he has not realized that to be the case, I certainly hope that he knows it now! In fact by integrating his patented nonpareil BFE into the action he has shown me a better way. A much better way! He is a treasure, a different type of treasure than is Raul, but still a treasure indeed! Likewise, he is smart if in a totally different manner. Heck he just about has me convinced to do a traditional BFE the next time around!

 

Incidentally, last that I knew these men have not yet met. If they do they certainly would complement each other. Of course that's "complement" in the sense that the two together would be beyond perfection. However, I would bet that compliments would be exchanged as well. Plus, when guys can simply be referenced by their initials you know that they have arrived! Such as JFK, RGM, TB, etc. In summary, even if our paths were never to cross again these two individuals will forever be special in my book.

 

No number three:

 

So there are my top two. Unfortunately I can't name a third. As alluded to above, I am acquainted with the talents of other gentlemen, and that includes individuals who have been nominated by others. However, while I see potential I am not yet convinced that they have what it ultimately takes to be EOY material as I have noticed some chinks in their armor and in one case a bit of unprofessional behavior related to a lack of experience with certain aspects important to the profession. While that inexperience was not based on a deficiency of skills related to the bedroom, it definitely factored into my decision not to nominate the individual. However, I think that with a bit more seasoning he might just come into his own as he traverses the proverbial block. At any rate, as the saying goes, "No wine before its time." In any event, I decided not to submit a review as I felt that another session would give me a better handle on the situation. With any luck he might have already come into his own since I saw him. Call me a tough grader if you will, but I can only call 'em as I see 'em.

[Donpat]

There are really only two guys in my mind who are worthy. One is Michael Vincenzo. Are previous winners not allowed to "compete"? If so, I don't have a second suggestion, but if previous are eligible, then Tristan Baldwin. Hands down best two guys ever for me. And they're tied in my mind. Don't make me choose - it would be like asking a parent to choose their favorite child.

 

I'm updating my nominations to include JD Daniels. I'm thinking he's pleased plenty around here and get a very relaxed but charged at the same time vibe from him.

[advnturpup]

Well, yet again, i have to say: Mike Masters in NYC. Big Brother? Handsome all american jock? Jock God? Stern Dad? Loving Dad? Stern and Loving Dad? Rough AND romantic, tough AND tender is the mix i love best and no one, NO ONE, delivers as intuitively, subtly, intimately, insightfully as Master Mike. Never met an escort who so takes pleasure in the pleasures, often surprising, that he delivers to a boy when a boy delivers himself into his hands and says "teach me, please, Sir."

[mike carey]

As I recall, I had said I planned not to vote this year as I hadn't met any escorts who figure in here and I thought that to vote would be unfair. Since I said that I have seen a bit of commentary in here that denigrates some escorts without saying that the commentator had actually met the escort concerned. Although I haven't met the escorts I cite, I have had on-line discussions that told me a lot about their character.

 

1. Alec Andrews, reserved in the forum, responded just enough (he said, 'you are exactly the sort of guy I would want to meet'), when he did comment, what he said was just right! I know that the 'you are just the sort of guy' line could be seen as insincere, but from him it is not.

 

2. Tristan Baldwin, I saw his pic on the front page of his Daddy's reviews and my thought was 'absolutely unattainable'. Without even meeting him I know that that opinion was completely wrong. He is the most open, approachable man you could imagine.

 

3. Brian Kevin, is such a lovely playful guy, he came into the forum to talk to people not to advertise himself, but in talking he managed to advertise better than many others could have hoped for.

 

In non-voting comments, I could not leave out JD Daniels, Juan Vancouver and Mike Gaite, for different reasons they have all piqued my interest. JD for his intensity, Juan for his downright common sense and Mike for an element of whimsy. For you, I may have had differences of opinion at times, but you all bring amazing character to the site. I apologise for not having otherwise mentioned Killian, Adam Simply and Junior Benz.

[+ bashful]

Thanks for the warm welcome, and already a nickname, Bash. I like it. This was a year of firsts for me, and these are the men that lit it up.

 

1. Erik Bouna (of Budapest). He welcomed this older, nervous, self-conscious, first timer, put me at ease, and gave me a wonderful experience. Related to me on a personal level, not just as a client. I honestly don't think I would have had the courage to hire again if not for such a great initiation.

 

2. Alec Andrews. Only my second time at bat, and WOW. This man will up your average. Can't believe I managed to meet him, and was a bit overwhelmed. Smart, so sexy, and ready to help me turn things up a notch. Can't imagine what you guys in the advanced class experience. Cared enough about me to offer some cautionary advice that my future hires be well vetted.

[JimmyJim]

Mike Gaite - Add me to the list of Gaiters. Everything I've read on here about him reflects my own experience with him. This man knows how please and does so in a way that seems natural throughout the entire session.

[body2body]

1. Mike Gaite

Nice, handsome, built, sexy, and most important when I am with him I feel sexy, which at 64 is a rare experience. Mike makes it happen.

 

No one else lit up my year like him.

[boyfox]

1. JD Daniels! Undisputed the best! Great body, so sensuous, fun to be with and a great time! JD would definitely could be my BF for life!

2. Raul G. Manzo. Great person! Love the BDSM and role play with him. Can't wait to meet with him

3. Apollo Phoenix. A body to die for or at least worship every inch of him.

[bigboyjoy]

1) Mike Gaite

2) AJ Irons

3) Tristan Baldwin

[SJWalt]

MIKE GAITE is, unquestionably, the best of the best. His incredible body (his feet are the sexiest I have ever seen--EVER!), his sense of humor, empathy, warm and compassionate nature, his intelligence, his ability to "connect" with his clients and, perhaps, most of all his honesty and work ethic is beyond belief. Mike is my only candidate for EOY for 2015 and 2016 and beyond.

[flguy]

My choices for EOY are

1. Tristan Baldwin, always full tilt on the game every time

2. Aaron Pearce Ft Myers a real pleaser for all tastes

[JamahlBrandon]

I was invited to this thread, and also seen I was mentioned here (thank you LatBear)...so thought I ought to make an input. Now, being that I did attend the Palm Springs event earlier this year, I can say I've met a few guys along the way. So, my picks are:

 

JD Daniels: Earlier this year he helped me find my way around LA earlier this year (over the phone was all that was needed) and because of that I was able to be in the right place to find the right connections. Those connections changed my life. And I admire those who are truly willing to help open the doors for others. We soon met up in person at Palm Springs just a month later. Although he wasn't naked at the pool party, Eyes have seen and ears have heard lol. But, it's not about that. For someone to extend a casual friendship even over a long distance means a lot.

 

Danny Cruz: I've not kept up to date enough of his involvement in SWOP, but based on his Twitter and website:

 

"I am the interim director of the Los Angeles chapter of the Sex Workers Outreach Project. At its core, SWOP is an antiviolence campaign dedicate to ending the cycles of stigma and violence against those in the sex trade."

 

This is the future. I think he deserves accolade for the reason of securing a future for the industry in the long run.

 

Ray Dalton: Doesn't post in the forum, but his vids speak volumes. Some may have recalled meeting him. I think from an escort standpoint...he is a godfather. Agree or disagree we have...but he knows the business inside and out...and encouraged me to be more open, though he encourages an openness that some personalities aren't designed for lol. Plus, my Twitter followers exploded after our couple hot pics together lol.

 

 

Additional mentions would be: Tristan Baldwin: For the same reasons he mentioned, someone who travels and knows what it's like. This is definitely Tristan and there were times over the years where He took the time to discuss the differences and experiences...and not at all with pretense or puffery...something thats common in the business. But this is a guy who could be, but inheritantly isn't.

 

NateSF: Just plain genuine, Karsin Nightly: doesn't post here, but another godfather of the business with extensive travel experience...and pretty much every escort out there living it and trying to make it. At the end, if you made it thru the whole year escorting...you're an escort of the year.

[TruHart1]

2015 has been an extraordinary year for hiring some fine and tremendously exciting escorts!

I love this hobby!:)

 

MY TOP 3 (my votes for EOY):

1. J.D. Daniels: This wonderful man was on my wish list for years, simply from seeing his ad on RB (back then!) and looking at his sizzling hot pictures there. He was in L.A. and I never get to L.A., so I thought I would probably never get to meet this gorgeous man. Fast forward to him joining the forum and I PM’d him that I thought he looked super hot! Before long he PM’d me his phone number and we became good friends, talking by phone quite a bit before ever meeting.

 

Once we met, though, I realized that the pictures in his escort ad, which I had always been attracted by, just don’t measure up to how physically beautiful this man actually is, with such a handsome face and a nearly 6 foot, sexy, slim and tight body! In the flesh, I find him a true force of nature, physically overwhelming in the best of all possible ways! Not only do I find he is fantastic and amazing in the bedroom, but that he is a loving, thoughtful and caring human being too --- a truly good man I am proud to call my friend.

 

JD is a true class act and one of the best escorts I’ve ever had the great pleasure of meeting and becoming friends with!

 

2. Raul G. Manzo: This most excellent of escorts (who resides in Chicago) is one of the best escorts I’ve ever had the privilege to meet! Always and repeatedly one of my best Boy Friend Experiences ever, with his excellent reputation for role-play and BDSM, AND his encyclopedic knowledge of Chicago, he remains one of the very best and a continuous favorite of mine! He NEVER disappoints!

 

3. Alec Andrews: What can I say in praise of this man who is one of the most gorgeous, well-built men (and he keeps getting hotter from his regular work-outs each time I see him, too!) I have ever met, let alone enjoyed such pleasure with! He always is so into me that I almost always feel I am in a dream of sexual bliss during our times together! A fantastically beautiful man, inside and out, who is always fascinating to talk to about most any topic!

 

These three have proven themselves to me over and over and I will always go back to see them whenever I am able.

 

Honorable Mentions:

(Simply) Adam, a truly sweet and caring man in NYC who not only gave me an unforgettable experience when last we met but has become a friend whom I hope to see in the coming year so as to enjoy his excellent and exciting company again very soon!

Ares (AresApollo on RM) in NYC: My very first escort --- the amazing Boy Friend Experience he gave me nearly 5 years ago set me on the path of enjoying this hobby to the fullest!!! Each time I see him it truly gets better and better!

Apollo Phoenix: A bodybuilder of proportional perfection (who looks as fine now as he did when he did porn back in 2007 to 2010!) whom I always see each time I visit NYC. He is a great beauty body-wise, but is also so wonderful to talk with and share what’s been going on in our lives since we previously met!

Logan Brock: This gorgeous hunk of a bottom in Dallas is someone I keep returning to for one of the very best Boy Friend Experiences, whenever I visit the big D. This wonderful man always makes me so happy!

Andrew Justice: Our most recent EOY. He is a complete hot, hot Boy Friend Experience who is always amazing in the bedroom! His sweet and genuine smile always lights up his face and brightens wherever he happens to be!

Dario from DC: A gorgeous man who is impressively endowed and has an amazingly edible ass, not to mention a sweet and boyish personality. He is always outstanding!

Dane Scott: In Palm Springs, (formerly in Chicago, where we first met) whom I don’t get to see nearly as much as I would like, but whom I hope to see again soon in 2016! Dane is another amazing Boy Friend Experience for me and one of the truly great escorts working today!

Tristan Baldwin: What can be said about this amazing man (Escort of the Year, 2012!) that hasn’t already been gushed about before? He’s a beautiful man with a perfect body who is a wonderful man and a great escort!

Devon Hunter: Based in Charlotte, NC, I always look forward to seeing this beautiful man whenever he swings through my area. He’s worked hard to achieve his tight, muscular dancer’s body, which I always find so hunky, and he has a very interesting, sophisticated mind. Besides being great between the sheets, I find him fascinating to talk with for hours!

Luca: This Dallas based well-endowed young Hungarian body builder has a nearly perfect (almost unbelievably gorgeous) body! In fact, when I’m with him his beauty always leaves me a bit breathless! Add to that the fact that he has a down-to-earth, very engaging personality, (plus that mellifluous accent!) and he’s a wet dream come true! Delicious!!!

Walter: Another gorgeous bottom from Dallas who knows all the right moves to literally rock my world! He’s also one of the best cuddlers in the business, so sensuous and yet able to relax and make me feel warm and loved.

Armand: A Texas-based and horny hot hunk, he is one of the most sexy men I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. He is especially adept at conversing on so many levels, kissing so sensually and building me up to an unbelievable release.

J C Cortez: I will miss this now retired hot Mexican man. Muy caliente hombre, blessed with model good looks and one of the most beautiful uncut endowments I’ve ever seen and enjoyed!

Peter Hung: One of the best escorts and Boy Friend Experiences around today. I sure hope to see him again the next time I make it to Vegas!

Benjamin Atwood: A phenomenal escort, also in Las Vegas, who knows exactly how to make our sessions just joyous, playful and fun!!!

 

First time hires of note:

Finally, I would also like to mention a few first time hires who have all given me experiences I shall jump at the chance of repeating this cumming year if I have the chance! These include Alex from Toronto, (Alex #10 on Daddy’s reviews) a gorgeous man who has a tight, defined body with whom I had great fun; Nate from L.A., who views his client appointments as dates rather than hires and treated me to an extraordinary Boy Friend Experience; and finally Jake 777, a very exciting man to me when we were together who said he planned to retire, but a man I would hire again in a heartbeat if he were available!

 

I truly hired a fantastic group of men, all of whom I felt so privileged to interact with this year!!!

[escortlover]

100% unequivocally Jock Brad in Columbus. We started meeting in January, and have been taking long weekend excursions all over the country the last few months, with more scheduled in the future.

[down_to_business]

My vote for escort of the year goes to J D Daniels for his professionalism and the way he treats all of his clients wonderfully (even the fat kids).

 

Runner up #1 Mike Gaite , even though I don't think he likes me very much based on my postings. The boy has an incredible travel schedule yet not once have I heard of him no showing or otherwise stiffing his clients and he really seems to care via his post in the mentoring thread.

 

Both of these guys contribute to the conversation, and come across as genuine guys with really big...... hearts! Both are worthy of EOY!

 

My 3rd and final vote will go to fellow Texan Kurtis Wolfe. I'd like to give you some good reasons, but I can't stop staring at his avatar long enough to think about it.

[Mannamdc]

1.Mike Gaite: Only one in the running from my experiences this year. We had several overnights and all were stellar. He's sexy, smart, friendly, interactive, and enthusiastic.

[Lazarus Pit]

I work very long hours with many commitments in my personal life and this is the most efficient way to meet men, with the added bonus that my age, 60+, isn't a factor. We keep it cordial, fun (for me at least and occasionally, at least it appears, for them), and professional (of course, any compensation is for time spent only). In fifteen years, I have only seen two men more than once. One is a local guy whose personality is simpatico. It's been ongoing for ten years. The other is Mike Gaite. I can't offer a stronger testimonial for him than that I returned and hope to meet him again.

[Cristian Gold]

Pretty cool site .

 

Here is my top 3 :

 

1) JD Daniels:

As a producer you look for dependable performers. JD is a class act, responsible, always on time and ready to give his best. He always brings to the set his positive energy and his A game.

Three of my members contracted him for escorting services and they say wonderful things about him as well and they became repeats and friends with him.

A great performer that I can recommend to anyone without a doubt.

 

2)Brad Kalvo: He is another of my favorite performers and escorts in LA.

3) Jose in San Diego :

He is another great soul , just a great guy to be around , a life example who puts up a fight for all he stands for. Great performer, great massages, great companion.

 

Kudos to everyone on the site for such a wonderful job

[incockneato]

1. Dominic Pacifico

2. Dominic Pacifico

3. Dom . . . 'nuff said?

[andymn]

My top three:

 

1) Rick J (DC)

2) Andrew Maroc (SF)

3) Killian James (NYC)

[+ WhamIAm]

1. Tyler the Bad Wolf -- smart, funny, fascinating, sexy. Unique.

2, Esparco -- EOY find in London. Perhaps the best guy I've hired in terms of being in tune with you and making sure that you get everything you can out of the experience.

3. Kurtis Wolfe (ok, I'm going all lupine this year). Just great fun and makes me want to get back to Dallas immediately.

[+ Socalguy]

1. Alec Andrews - He is so incredibly sweet and handsome and when he looks at you, you get totally lost in his gorgeous eyes.

2. Ace - He is the mythical Peter Pan making us lost boys feel young forever

3. Tristan Baldwin- His incredible body is only surpassed by his "aw-shucks" modesty
