This is ridiculous... hope they downgrade their prices

If not, I'm gonna quit their site.

 

"In light of recent developments in the political environment in the United States, the following changes to photo guidelines will be implemented on Men4RentNow.com.

 

Photo Guidelines - No Nudity

 

As of next Wednesday, November 23rd, NUDE PHOTOS WILL NO LONGER BE PERMITTED on the site. We recommend that you login ASAP and add additional photos to your profile, if necessary, over the next week to replace any that will be removed. All advertisers will be given 5 additional ad updates during the month of November. All ads must have at least one photo.

 

If you have not already added links to your social media and personal websites, we suggest that you do so as soon as possible by clicking on the Update Your Ad link on the Your Account page.

 

Remember, you can USE YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA SITES TO DISPLAY ADDITIONAL PHOTOS of yourself and describe your services in greater detail. Elite, platinum, gold, silver and bronze users all now have access to our social media feature.

 

In addition to the photo changes, other changes to site content and standards will be rolled out in the next week.

 

While we realize that these changes create extra work for you, they are necessary given the recent changes in the political environment."

A local escort just forwarded me this email... I guess the conservative-populist-fascist revolution is already affecting our lives.

I'd love to see them go under, to make room for a more worthy competitor if nothing else.

 

But I'm petty and wouldn't mind a slow and painful disembowelment of everyone associated with that shitshow also.

So just to be clear, we cannot post our rates, 'explicit text', and now no nudes? I wonder how much longer til phone numbers are verboten.

Soon they're going to remove the suggestive words "men" and "rent" from the site and rebrand as For Now.

We need you to sell a product, but you can't show the product to the consumer. You also need to very delicately dance around an obscure description of what this product is. Please make sure to not reference what this product does, or what it offers.

 

That's ridiculous - if I were in any of your shoes I'd do the same thing and drop them. Also note I am not objectifying people, just using the above as an analogy.

Bye Felica.....

(PERFECT timing, as my ad expires on 12/14).

Useless THEN...useless NOW.

Deleted my account. Fucking ridiculous.

 

The escort who forwarded me the email is thinking about doing the same.

I used to go to rentboy then men4rentnow and rarely rentmen ..then discovered a4a. Then when RB shut down my go to is rm. I don't like that you have to email the m4rn guys for their contact number and specifics. Now with no nudes ..I think hourboy has more value..with just as dated pics ..Apollon is trying but the again you have to pay to see full bios etc

I wonder if shirtless photos or speedo shots leaving nothing to imagination, but still technically not nudes would be permitted, as in:

I have to say on personal experience that the fellow on the honcho cover *is not* Steve Kelso.

 

Kelso was seen signing a calendar purchased by the model at the Colt both at the Folsom Street fair a goodly while ago so they are distinct individuals.

 

I think I still have that calendar at the bottom of my hope chest somewhere . . .

I woke up to the email from M4RN yesterday and was simply shocked. Another stupid choice by a site whose management leaves much to desire and whose customer service is abysmal. Unlike many here however I do get clients from the site and especially when I travel to SMALL markets...... I look at advertising like the stock market. If I pay $100 a month for an ad and it produces $1,ooo for me then it is a good investment despite the bullshit involved in it. M4RN produces.....not like it should.... but , for me, it still produces.

I look at it like this: less competition on the site if other escorts get off it. ALso.... for those of us who are about more than JUST our cocks or asses and who actually ESCORT still then featuring our FACES is a good thing. Some of us still look good with our shirts off so more motivation to work hard in the gym and stay in shape. We can try to turn a negative into a positive here.

Finally..... the fact is that without nudes the site is committing suicide. No one will go there anymore to look at it. So, ultimately this is a negative despite my feeble attempts to keep a good attitude about it. I'm proud to be mainly a rentmen guy anyway @ www.rentmen.com/magicmikeydc

Isn't the fellow on the Honcho cover actually you, honcho?

 

~Boomer ~

It is, or was. The pictures were taken in may of 1985 and not published till January of '87.

 

The photographer had been making his living as a freelancer, and then got a job as, if you'll forgive the intended pun, a staff photographer for Falcon (for box-covers and ads), so that lessened his motivation to get them published.

 

Do you think that a speedo shot like that would pass muster with M4RN these days?
