D.C. guys: Blue Wave vs Red Wave vs Green Wave?

[biggerbilly]

I don't want thing to get too political here, (good luck with that) but I'm generally interested in knowing from the guys based in DC, and from the frequent travelers, if one party does better for business when there in power.

I understand your curiosity, but how would any escort know that unless he is purposely running tabs on all his client's political affiliations. I just don't think that is a major concern of theirs... and only possibly they'd care if they knew the client well.

 

If I'm wrong in that assumption. I'll gladly concede to more knowledgeable folks (i.e. the escorts who choose to answer).

While an escort won’t necessarily know the political affiliations of their client, the may notice an uptick in calls and messages during control changes.

Democrats usually fuck each other, Republicans are more likely to hire...

This was some years back but I recall a female escort saying “Republicans pay up and the Democrats haggle.”

I was just talking with an LA escort about this line this weekend:

 

"The best clients come from Texas, and the worst come from LA."

 

That's from Matt Adams' Hustlers, Escorts, and Porn Stars: The Insider's Guide to Male Prostitution in America.

 

When I read that line in 2000 I first thought it sounded bigoted. But in my experience it turned out to be true. I can't think of one Texas client that ever flaked out on me. In LA it was not unusual. And sometime the flakiness almost seemed like it was intentional.

 

One Orange County client described the flakiness, correctly I think, as having less to do with all California and more to do with Hollywood/entertainment industry bullshitting. I have no idea if it correlates in any way to political party. But after years of experience I'd say Adams nailed it, at least as far as any gross generalization goes.

Here in DC it's not the Congresscritters, it's their staffs. That can be thousands of employees. There are many many more gay staff members for Democrats. And openly, actively gay. Therefore there is more of every type gay business, especially ones required a decent amount of money. Lobbyists catering to Democrats also increase greatly.
