To Escorts: So far, what has been your best experience with a client?

[+ Eric Hassan]

I have a nephew in law and a neice in law who are gay and they have a much easier road of it that we ever did, also some friends who are 25 years young than me, and I have always had the feeling that if I leave the world a better place than when i entered it - I have lived my life well.

 

Yes! Leave the world better than you found it Thank you for your hard work, and for keeping your focus!

I didn't grow up with a father figure or a strong male role model. The guys who would have been my role models were dying in the 80s, so by the mid 90s, the few that were left were grieving, exhausted, and faced with still more struggle. I didn't have any personal connections with other gay men.

 

I wouldn't say I have daddy issues, but I have spent a great deal of my life looking for men that I could admire - not sexually, or maybe sexually, but admire for who they were, what kind of people they were. I've fallen a little bit in love with my friends and boyfriends dads and listened enviously when they would talk about things they did growing up.

 

Now, I'm 39, and I see these guys who are younger than I am and I see them growing up in a totally different world and I want to be the role model for them. I don't want to know that there was a gay kid somewhere in my life who didn't get the message from me that I am here, that I am strong, and that I will support them. They call me big bro and dad and I love it.

 

I've got a whole big gay family now - my friends and lovers, my daddies, my brothers, my sons. I've built this web of people in my life because I couldn't stand the idea of not connecting to my community.

 

My best encounter with a client has not been with a particular client, but rather a group of clients - namely, the men who are 10+ years older than I am. They are surviovors and fighters and laughers and criers, and no matter what their journey is, what their gay life has been like, when they came out - no matter what, they are my connection. They are my connection to my history as an American, as a descendant of immigrants from Syria, as a gay man. I've rarely shared it out loud, but I've got an incredible amount of gratitude and love for the men who came before me, who led the way, who lit the lights, who fought the battles and now, are the men who choose me to spend some time with them. I feel connected and less alone in the world.

 

One time, I shared my feelings with a client as I was getting ready to leave. His tears came mid-way through what I was saying and by the end, I was in tears, too. We hugged for a long time, and though I have never seen him again, I will never forget the experience. I'll never forget how connected I felt, hugging him.

 

Thank you for sharing! I can absolutely relate to this. Since I never had a boyhood and I don't have a relationship with my own father I would say that I definitely look to some of my relationships with long term clients for a paternal or an older brother connection. It was clients who first made me feel I could fit into the world of gay men, and one client in particular who I've been seeing for 8 years now who gave me money for my top surgery, picked me up from jail when I got arrested during Occupy, and listened to me while I self righteously espoused my wisdom on the state of world. Conversely, I have been with him through the death of his parents, friends and dogs, dick woes, and major changes in his physical and mental health. If there is anyone in the world I call dad right now, it's him.

Eric, I "liked" your post. Indeed, I loved it, but there is no icon for that. Bravo!
