The whole escorting thing

Maybe I'm just a big ole MARY! or a big square, but I am fascinated and a bit shocked by the whole idea of escorts and how someone hires one.

I was curious if anyone has done this and whether it was a good experience? I always thought it would be risky and icky but several of my professional friends - very hot fit men who could get what they wanted at a bar - say that they do it when they're traveling because it's easier and more of a professional exchange - they know what they are getting.

Thoughts?

It's prostitution, OP. It exists in the straight world, too. In fact most prostitutes are likely women catering to a male clientele. It's hardly unusual.

I get that R1.

And I don't think I have sex shame, I'm pretty confident and relaxed about sexual expression….

I'm just surprised so many gay men use escorts. I guess it could be drama-free for someone who is traveling a lot, etc.

It would scare the fuck out of me to call someone or send an email trying to hire someone, I would be afraid that it was an undercover cop or something, I guess.

If you are not confident enough (or don't have the time) to spend the evening eyeing strangers in a bar or club or sauna and regard it as a business transaction then it should work ok for you, and saves you buying drinks for someone who may well not click with you ... if you are in town for a night and have a business meeting in the morning you dont want to turn up tired and bleary-eyed after a night in a bar - someone arriving at your hotel to provide the service you require and is gone afterwards should be just the trick.

Its what women do all the time, and now with the internet you can make sure of the type you want before you commit ....

It's the old joke: you don't pay them for the sex, you pay them to shut up and leave afterwards.

With a hooker you don't need to worry about seducing them, pleasing them sexually, or having them call the house next week.

I don't see what all the fuss is about. Men want to get laid and they're just as faithful as their options, so would you rather have the hubby banging a pro or falling in love with his secretary and breaking up two marriages in the process?

I use a couple of agencies when I travel because I'm in DC a lot and I'm not going to date there, for several reasons. A body gets lonely. I have met and see three guys, all well matched, smart, intelligent and amenable, and I've also seen two outside for dinner and concerts. Sure, it's transactional. So is a blind date with someone who is desperate for a husband.

Closet cases pay to keep their downlow business a secret.

Other guys hire their favorite porn star.

Then there are those who hire hustlers or escorts to satisfy a craving for a fetish or fantasy they wouldn't dare (yet) to speak of with their relationship partners being around.

And finally there are those with too much money, but so little time to go for something 'real'.

I read an article where there are escorts who specialize on clients who have intimacy issues (due to issues like porn addiction, sexual identity / self loathing, childhood trauma, child abuse, etc.) where these escorts cover the physical part while a shrink or life coach deals with the mental issues..

I did this during the days of Craigslist adult services. It was a $100.00 a pop and it was great. Dirty filthy sex where I was treated like a whore. I stopped doing it because it was so easy and I could see how it could be addicting. I did it maybe four times.

If you're in a big city, the best way to go about hiring an escort is to go to a gay male strip club. Most of the dancers escort on the side. This way you can meet them face to face, maybe get a lap dance, and then judge if there's any chemistry. You can discuss mutual limits face to face, and there are no worries about being the victim of a sting operation. I live in NYC and I go to Club Adonis on occasion. There are a couple of guys who dance there that I've considered asking over to my place. I've discussed rates and limits with them, but I just need to get up the courage to invite them back.

I did it years ago because I was curious. A friend confided that he did it sometimes because he enjoyed having a sexual encounter that was entirely about his pleasure, and that intrigued me. I told my guy exactly what I wanted (and didn't want) to do, and that's what we did. VERY enjoyable encounter with a great, hot guy who would be out of my league otherwise. I'm not hideous, pretty cute for a regular guy in fact, but I don't attract gorgeous, hung muscle gods, so this was a treat. It was nice to know ahead of time that I was definitely getting laid, and by whom, without taking my chances at a bar, bathhouse or online or wasting time and money on the chase. It really is a simple business transaction.

The guy was really nice and down to earth, took his time and even stayed extra. He didn't turn weird after I came, either. Remained friendly, actually complimented my talents and prowess (probably blowing smoke but who cares?) and asked if he could shower with me after. I'm sure he just wanted to clean up but he insisted I join him and we lather each other up. I was totally spent from the sex, but it was so hot soaping up his muscular body, and he wasn't shy soaping me up, too. I remember the whole time he kept up this friendly, effortless, "just us guys" banter...Christ, he was a fun lay. I still jerk off to those memories. The economy has been rough on me lately so I haven't been able to afford it, but one of these days I'm going to do it again.

Oh, and to any escorts who might be reading this (ha!): if you don't like being told what to do, maybe you shouldn't be "escorting" in the first place. When someone is paying you hundreds of dollars, be prepared to do EXACTLY what they ask, within the realm of reasonability of course. And don't tell guys you haven't met that what you'll do with them depends on "chemistry". Ummmm, that's why I'm hiring an escort in the first place, so I don't have to find someone who is into me. Whether I'm a 22 year old hottie or a 60 year old troll, you better be prepared to kiss me like you think I'm the hottest guy you've ever been with.

i've done this a few times in two forms: one is getting one of those massage guys from massage m4m; the other is dispensing with all pretense and going straight to rentboy.

for the most part, the massage option has worked out better. i tend to look toward the masseurs that have tons of reviews, which tends to be a signal that the guy actually can and does massage, and then the details in the reviews will hint at how much further he is likely to go. with a few exceptions, this has tended to work out really well, and i've been able to get more or less what i'm looking for (which itself can vary).

rentboy has disappointed me all three times i've used it, so i'm probably done with it. in all three cases, i was meeting up with former porn stars (which very much heightened the level of my excitement), each between three and ten years past his film glory. they all still had incredible bodies and looked amazing, so i was far from disappointed there.

what struck me with each of the rentboy hookups was that none of them were able to mask their tremendous indifference. it was very obvious, which in ended up reducing my own level of interest in our encounter.

another issue was that they all seemed to expect me to spend my time worshiping them, servicing them, telling them how hot they are, how big they are, how incredible their muscles are, etc. i had been pretty detailed in my prior communications about what i was and wasn't looking for, and each had agreed to what i described. it doesn't surprise me if clients typically want to be subservient and "do the work", but that wasn't what i wanted and i had made that clear up front (or so i thought).

anyway, stick to the massage guys. at the very least, you'll get a decent massage out of it, but usually much more. and they always seem a lot more engaged than the pure escorts.

O-kaaaay...

And what, exactly, don't you understand about this? That exact thought, and that the customer can dictate the terms/activities completely and not have to take their chances at a meat market, have been expressed multiple times in this thread.

Your statement that "anybody can get laid" at anytime in the gay world is also laughable. Are you extremely young and hot, or do you just have no standards whatsoever? It's true that I can go on manhunt or a pickup bar and find several eager partners immediately; whether they'll meet even my LOWEST standards is another matter entirely.

Many of us are attracted to a wide range of men, some well within our league, but to be with a truly gorgeous, flawless "ideal man" it's much easier to pay for it. That you can basically order in for delivery and have a list of self-centered sexual acts tailored to your tastes only sweetens the deal.

I have been paying for sex since I was 26. I am now 70. It is a choice I made. I am a selfish person and I want to do what I want to do, when I want to do it and with whom. I find someone I like and work out a financial arrangement with them and we see each other when we both feel like it. Some of them have been professionals and some have been hot guys who just need the money. There is also a friendship involved. I have stuck with the same person for years at a time. Pleasure is the name of the game and it allows me to live the rest of my life the way I want to.

My experience is exactly like R24's - I also find real masseurs are a lot more intelligent and can carry a conversation than the typical rentboy. I can have a lot more fun with a good massage and after reading reviews, I can tell what may happen. I like the touch too - the intimacy of a massage is very nice and usually masseurs are cheaper than escorts.

That being said, I think buying ex-porn stars would be a guaranteed bad time as they're desperate and past their prime and not able to do porn. Sad.

I've never done it, but I've thought about it. I've looked at a few sites and there don't seem to be enough hot regular guys. A lot of roided up men or guys in leather - the pics just do absolutely nothing for me.

Some were just lonely souls who wanted someone to talk to for an hour.

On the flip side, you can't find someone who will fuck with you for free? There's a lovely connection you feel when there is mutual attraction/lust. If you know the person with you is doing it for money, how good can that feel? It's empty. sad.

I've always wanted to try it, but can't get over the feeling that I'm forcing someone to have sex with me when he really doesn't want to. I guess it's my conscience, or guilt, or something. Of course I realize that the escort is an adult and doing this of his own free will, but I think I would still feel quite uncomfortable doing it (because I would not enjoy having sex with someone to whom I'm not attracted.)

I think for some reason I'd feel better about it if it were in a brothel or some sort of organized, businesslike environment.

That said, in the past I've paid for friends who were substantially less well-off than I to travel with me (without any expectation of sex.) So perhaps finding a compatible escort as a traveling companion might be an option.

I know a guy in Fire Island who does porn and escorts. The porn is pretty much an advertisement more his escorting. He released a youtube or vimeo about being an escort saying that he likes to be treated specie and be wooed like it's a date and he's not a piece of meat. He said he gets turned off when clients treat him abruptly and they don't talk first.

I asked him why he always hires escorts? He said "I like what I like and I can get it when I get an escort." He had a point lol...but I passed on the free escort (I had a date anyhow).

by Anonymousreply 45November 10, 2014 12:35 PM

No, but it's mainly because I have several friends who escort, and some of them have in the past expressed interest in hooking up with me anyhow. It's kind of a "why pay?" thing. But honestly, the reason I won't mess around with them is out of fear of STD's - and I don't want to flat out ask them what they got, if any. Also, I know some escorts in our area who are in fact HIV positive but continue to work, which makes me even more uncomfortable with the whole idea.

The only time I ever considered hiring some, was because I was interested in possibly creating a line of realistic dildos - not those ridiculously enlarged over-sized ones they sell at porn shops. I was considering posting some ads to craiglist, in the hopes of getting totally amateur guys. I also wanted to learn the whole process of casting, molding, and mass producing them (on a small scale to begin with at least). But I've yet to get around to doing all this. I wouldn't consider it "hiring an escort" though. At the very least I would think an escort would be somewhat relieved that they would just need to show up and have their dick molded, no sex.

You expect escorts to kiss you passionately? That's really asking a lot. Most hookers/escorts abhor kissing clients and will not do it; it implies intimacy and that is something hookers do NOT want to have with their clients. For them it's business, not pleasure. Maybe you want the impression of intimacy, but that's not something prostitutes are inclined to do.

An excerpt from Steven Gaines' Halston biography:

For a man whose career had been celebrated on the cover of Newsweek, Halston’s personal life was rather bleak. Since his sexual relationship with Ed Austin had trailed off, Halston had taken to phoning call boys, who would come to the East Fifty-fifth Street apartment, where he would perhaps order them both a steak and a baked potato delivered up, then take them to bed and show them the door. Joe Eula, the fashion illustrator and one of Halston’s closest confidants, took to calling this practice “dial-a-steak, dial-a-dick,” which Halston thought was hysterically funny. One night in 1972, the young man who showed up at Halston’s apartment from the call-boy service changed his life.

The man’s name, improbably, was Victor Hugo—a professional name and a pun, it would turn out, on his “huge-o” endowment. Victor was brilliant, zany, exciting, and dangerous. Because of him, Halston would thereafter live his life on the edge—on the edge of legality, of propriety, and of sanity. “Halston and I never had sex after the first three months,” said Hugo. “It was a great love affair—not about sex.” “The person that Halston loved, more than his own life, was Victor,” said Peruchio Valls, who had known Hugo since he was a boy and who later became one of Halston’s personal assistants

"As someone else mentioned the "boyfriend experience" is a big part of what they know a lot of clients will want from them."

Paying some hooker to kiss you and make-believe he's your "boyfriend" is pretty pathetic. Paying for sex, that's kind of understandable. But paying somebody to kiss you like you're really "hot" and act like he's your "boyfriend" is just plain sad. Why not try getting to know people, dating, socializing? That would probably lead to a REAL boyfriend relationship. Besides, keep in mind escorts don't think you're hot and are not turned on by you, they just pretend they are. Some of them don't even pretend. It's all an act because they want your MONEY. There's no "boyfriend experience" when the person who's fucking you doesn't give a crap about you, except for your money.

There's also no "boyfriend experience," R59, when you "try getting to know people, dating, socializing" and get rejected for being too something/not enough something else. At least you know the hooker "boyfriend" is only your "boyfriend" for the hour or two or three you're paying him, and you don't end up getting strung along by someone you likes you, "but not that way." Who puts you in the "friend" zone, etc.

I used to believe I could do what you say, but I could not. No one I wanted wanted me. So forgive me while I blow a few hundred dollars and pretend for awhile.

I've paid for it. not because i was busy, desperate, or don't like casual hook-ups---just something about the idea of paying for an experience that's just for me. i can't imagine a sexually-driven, single man with enough disposable $$ to indulge feeling differently.

Please, somebody who is escort-savvy, explain the meaning of "escort" to me! In my opinion, you can hire an escort for a long-term period, for a certain event. But I noticed that many people use this word as a synonym of "prostitute"? Is that right? Moreover, some individuals prefer "escort" to "kept-woman" or "kept-man".

I’m over 40 and have had difficulties to find hot men. I’ve become invisible in gay world. I hate going to bars and clubs to find hot guys. Spending evening and returning home alone. Hiring an escort is easy. I get manly touch whenever I need it, I explain beforehand what I want and it works fine. It is Just physical and suits me okay.

Ages ago one could find "escort" services listed in telephone directories. Their stated purpose (wink wink) was to provide gentlemen with a female escort for evening to attend an event such as dinner party, opera, etc... This or something more long term like providing companionship on a vacation or whatever. However these services were supposed to be strictly legit, no prostitution; though many actually were.

Long story short somewhere along line every in call hooker or hustler began calling themselves "escorts" which is pretty much how industry rolls these days. The official line from both agencies, websites, hookers and hustlers is that people are paying for their time (hence the escort bit), not quid pro quo sex, which is illegal in nearly every state of USA.

It is a cat and mouse game prostitutes, pimps, procurers et al play with law enforcement. One says they aren't prossing, the other knows that they are but have to gather evidence that will stand up in court.

You can pay $$$$ to book Alam Wernick for the pleasure of his company, and there very well might be dinner, a party or two, dancing etc... but both parties know the deal, and why he's been hired.

Two bad experiences. First one was tweaking (I think) and acting like a crazy man. I said No Thanks and he made me pay him before he left. Second one left after about 15 minutes of chitchat, saying there was no chemistry. I'm not very attractive (early 60s, fat, dentures). I'd rather find something on pornhub to jerk off to.

by Anonymousreply 80February 18, 2020 10:46 AM

My problem with escorts is that part of my pleasure in a hook up casual or not is being desired knowing someone is with me because they lust after me or desire me and vice versa. Paying for a service eliminates this.

I don't judge the profession or the clients. Seems practical enough.

I started when a guy I met on the street and was cruising said “you have money?”. Took me by surprise but I was like “sure”? Didn’t really make me feel bad - and actually relieved me of the need to worry about his opinion and be able to a ask directly for what I wanted to do. It was eye opening - and tbh, a little addictive.

As a control freak with intimacy issues, I ended up doing it more than I should have in my 30s. In retrospect, I should have focused on hooking up with regular guys and working on my intimacy issues. But had great sex with some stunning men and did everything sexually I could imagine. Not sure it was a healthy habit. Now at 52, I don’t have a big sex drive and am too frugal to pay any significant amount of money. Plus, since it’s all online it’s become much more expensive and complicated than the street hustlers of the 90s.

Because some people like to delude themselves the arrangement is something more than a fiscal transaction.

You read reviews of trans, female, and male "escorts" and those who provide a "boyfriend" experience usually rate higher than the more mercenary sorts. Things like kissing (closed or open mouth), which not all escorts or whatever you want to call them will do. Some just are incapable of making clients feel being remotely close to them physically is beneath their dignity. It's a pleasurable means to a measurable end, and that's all.

This was secret of great whores down through years including highly compensated mistresses, kept men/boys, etc..... Focus on the other person, make them think they are the most important thing atm. It works in all lines of business.

Market forces I suppose.

Thanks to our friend Mr. Internet and other factors it does seem as if every other boy, girl, trans, man or woman is "escorting" either as a professional or the occasional dates to make ends meet.

Also think younger generations don't see anything wrong with turning dates; using what they've got to get what they need so to speak.

Previously it was same for guys as girls; if they wanted to turn tricks it was some bar, club, or the streets (53rd and Third or Second avenues was a famous stroll for years), now they can just put up an ad or whatever on internet.

If understand correctly hustler/escort market is heavily peopled with guys who aren't gay per se, but since the gay whore market is far more lucrative (just ask Alam Wernick), that is where they make their money. This likely is highly true in many European or South American countries where you have often a surplus of young men or boys with limited economic prospects. Similar reasons explain why so much gay porn comes out of Eastern Europe, certain South American and Asian countries.

What some don't get is that Eastern Europe is full of attractive white young men/women or boys/girls; that is why so much porn, escorting or whatever comes out of that place. This includes Russia where you can find tons of attractive young men and women (or even not so much) doing porn or escorting to survive.

I’m not a professional but I’ve done a reasonable amount of hooking when I’ve needed the money, mostly just informal gigs via Grindr. I’m a fairly gorgeous guy in my 20s who happens to be attracted to old fatties, so most of my “gigs” have been just like any other hookup I’ve had - except I got paid! That is to say, I fucked them passionately, kissed them like I meant it and enjoyed every minute. Maybe I’m an anomaly but I wasn’t surprised to see a poster above mention his hooker sticking around and insisting on a romantic shower afterwards. I guess there’s a big difference between myself and a fulltime whore working for an agency, but some of us hot young things definitely aren’t just pretending to enjoy putting our dicks in you people. I guess what I’m trying to do with this comment is explain some of the appeal of hiring a hooker to the skeptics, although I guess it’s not for everyone

R78, try LGBT social groups, or apps websites for older men such as bear/daddy sites, grindr, scruff, etc. I know older tops and bottoms in their 50s and 60s who do quite well on them and they have men their own age as well as men in their 20s, 30s, and 40s wanting to date/hook up.

True R93, a lot of porn is made in Czech Republic or Slovakia, Hungary, Russia, the Ukraine, and former countries of the USSR as the men and women, as well as TS/TG people are paid a lot less than they are in Germany, France, Switzerland, Austria, NL/Benelux, and the UK.

Yes I do R73 but I am friends with bisexual men and women, and gay men who were once male prostitutes-either for survival such as a bisexual man I knew who did this in the 1980s in NYC after his parents kicked him out of their home when he came out to them, or they did it when they did porn as they made a lot more money this way than from any porn videos or dancing/stripping at clubs.

I worked as an escort off Craigslist for about 6 months, years ago.

Most of my clients were “straight” men who didn’t have the nerve to be seen out in a gay bar. (Or maybe they were insecure that the wouldn’t match up with someone they liked, once there?)

Some were married... so you can imagine they’d want to keep it as low profile as possible.

As I was getting back in the gym and feeling the semblance of my former self, I hired an escort till I felt comfortable again putting myself out there. He actually helped more than he knew.

Years ago I had a fat trollish old landlord from Scotland and I would see him with OK-to-goodlooking young men all the time, very jovial. Soon this landlord found out I'm gay, he saw me with my BF at the time, and took this as permission to start confiding really terrible intimate shit to me in the elevator and laundry room and when I went to pay rent about what was going on with these boys. All the boys were whores, of course, some were junkies or otherwise very streety, but! he thought one *might* have feelings for him... and maybe he could save that one....!

Fast forward, the one who "might have feelings for him" has fleeced him for like $40k he can't afford, and another of his regular hustlers has robbed him in the night. He told me he had no regrets and was excited to have found a new boy willing to take his money, who turned out to be a very cute little blonde who I ended up dating for a while (real dates, not paid).

Ok, I've hired an escort twice. Once when I lived in Chicago, out of sheer loneliness, and once in Paris for the thrill and enjoyment of it. I've always been a fit, good-looking guy but have had difficulty breaking through with gay men in social situations.

The Chicago one was late night on a Sunday, feeling unbearably lonely. I was probably 27. I was a runner then so I was lean, unblemished, with a great ass. (I've always had a great ass.) This was in, like 1994, just on the cusp of online social networking going mainstream. I phoned an escort service from a local gay rag and the, erm, "receptionist"?, "dispatcher"? (who sounded like, but was not as far as I know, but sounded like "Madge Weinstein"), took the call and said they would call me back, didn't know if they had anyone available for me - so from the start there was a lack of genuine enthusiasm from their end. I phoned me back about 10 minutes ago and said he had someone whom he described to me. He was a top. I think it then that he said he was bisexual. Fine. He arrived, he was mixed race, maybe black.

He wasn't there very long. He got undressed really quick - he was just there to do a job. I started giving him head, he got hard, he stuck his dick in me and within about 90 seconds he came. That was it. I was not pleased. At all. I was like, "What was that?" He looked like no one had ever said that to him before and after a long moment says, "Oh...didn't you? I thought you came." I was pretty much like, "When was that?" Then he starts going, "Oh, um," and says he's sorry, that he'll come back again and do me for half price. I'm like, "You should go now."

A few minutes after he leaves, I'm on the phone back to the escort agency and I'm like, "What the fuck was that?!" I complained for so long that the dispatcher finally said, "Sir! I'm so sorry! If I didn't have such a terrible cold, I'd come over there and BLOW YOU RIGHT NOW!" That was the end of that. What I realised is that the guy wasn't gay and that's how straight women have been getting fucked since the beginning of time. (1/2)

Probably 15 years later, in Paris where I had been about 8x previously, I decided to hire an escort. I was different then, as stated, I'd always been fit but had been doing some disciplined and structured weight training for about 3 - 4 years - never skipping leg day - and I was lean and built, good-looking grown man, looked about 36 - 38. I had been hooking up with guys for about the previous 2 years, maybe 3 or 4x a year. Very discerning. I liked to do the work in the weight room and then have a worthy guy marvel at my body, really humble them, and had a lot of intense, memorable casual encounters. Not all of them but I was lucky. I was in Paris for about 4 nights and had already been to a kind of sex party that the purveyors of the custom leather shop in the Marais invited me to, on the spot. Paris was and may still be a little more discreet than other major cities. Amongst the guys I saw online, there was a swarthy, dark European looking gay named...Franco, I think? (Probably not his real name anyway.) He came highly recommended, especially for being such a an amazing unique kisser. I was a bit intrigued, thought he would do and expected it to go pretty as my recent hookups did - mostly enjoyable, consensual sex. Forty minutes after he arrived, at a boutique hotel I was staying in, he was still talking. About HIMSELF. About his photography. And how people were jealous of him. And his boyfriend. Of all the things he was talking about - mostly just one, HIMSELF - the one thing I did not want to hear about was his boyfriend. It was kind of over for me as soon as he walked through the door - he primped and tweezed to a kind of repelling robotic standard. Finally, something starts to happen - albeit from a very cold, distant place - I think he started stroking my leg (we were sitting on the bed and I was in my underwear and a t-shirt when he arrived). He leans forward and kind of...starts...giving me a kiss? One of his famed kisses? He pretty much shaped his mouth into a fish-like tiny "o" and twiddled his tongue around inside my mouth but like, just the tip of it, around and around, from side to side...it was appalling. That was when I said, "You should go now." As the john does in the apocryphal story, I paid him (about EUR 280.00) to leave. And I felt like it was money well spent because I didn't put myself through another minute of that and would unlikely submit myself to it in the future. (2/3)

I've had better luck with masseurs, especially overseas. (Not so much in the U.S., though some.) It doesn't feel like something I pay for and, especially when I was lifting a lot, I needed regular body therapy. And a release at the end of a 90-minute full body massage between two gay men feels natural - the whole thing is so intimate, how can one object? With other dynamics, it could seem more like sex work - to which I do not object - and I imagine it's different when it's opposite gendered but with two gay men it's almost inevitable. If it happens. If it doesn't, fine. Like I said, I'm there for the massage. And if I wanted to avoid that dynamic altogether, I would go to a spa where I wouldn't expect that kind of thing to happen. But in a private massage studio run by a gay man for gay men? It's a possibility. Sometimes fucking too - I'll always remember when a middle-weight bodybuilder masseur started massaging me, on his bed, and just started riding my cock...just pounding my thighs with his big muscle ass, all of that weight and muscle bearing down on me, pleasuring itself. It was so fucking hot. (We flipped as well.) Some masseurs I would repeat book with and we would leave an hour after the massage for fucking - I guess it's as good a way of meeting guys as any other. I never paid them for sex, just the massage, I was always clear about that. It's not surprising that two willing guys would have sex with each other in that situation.

I don't really do stuff like this anymore, I have a dad bod. I'm borderline, I could get really fit again (probably will) but now I'm just leading a healthy lifestyle, I do cycling and never seem to have the time (or energy) to string together a whole programme - sometimes I do, but not like 10 years ago.

Patrick Cox: gift-nicker

Neil Tennant from Pet Shop Boys celebrated his 50th birthday in 2004 and threw a big fancy Andy Warhol themed party to celebrate. His good friend, the shoe designer Patrick Cox, came along and brought two boys from the Bel Ami porn stable with him as a “present”. As the night went on though, Patrick found himself growing rather attached to the handsome lads – so snuck away from the party with the boys in tow, whisking them off to Shadow Lounge instead.

He presumably thought he’d gotten away with it too. Until Tennant, who arrived home at 4am, got in touch to say: “Ahem, I think I’m missing a present…”

Most small town hookers (who aren’t drug addicts or homeless) can be had for about $125/hr.

Bigger cities are typically around $250-300/hr for a decent provider, ie younger than 25.

I’ve seen actual porn stars on RM for $500-1000, but I would consider them an exception to the rule. Definitely not my thing..

My favorite pastime when I travel to a new city though, is to convince an 18-19 year old hottie off Grindr to come over. It typically takes $300-400, but it always works after a few hours. With a “non-hooker” hooker, you know he’s clean and pure. So satisfying.

However, I prefer erotic massages when I need total relaxation, because I can just that there and do nothing. It’s great too because sometimes you get masseurs who don’t mind sucking you off or letting you finger their hot cunt at the end.

On a recent roadtrip across Nevada (Reno to Vegas), we noticed a few of those Bunny Ranches with the trailers out back. I can't imagine either side of that equation being too good--the women can't be that attractive, being that these places are in the middle of nowhere (meth head farm gals with no teeth?) and the customers are likely 300 lb truckers with hemmorhoids the size of Nebraska.

Maybe those places are from a different time, before the internet, and they had better looking wimmens. Just a curiosity to wonder about as we were driving 7 hours across the desert. Did they have male hookers back in the day too? Do these places even make money anymore? It just looked sad and depressing to me.

R146 I worked as a cocktail waiter in a gay bar in Vegas for one summer in the 80s. One of my regulars was a cute blond twink who worked out of one of the houses. He always kept trying to get me to come out and visit telling me they would love me - 21, but looked 16. I regret not going, but I was always very cautious even before we knew what we know today. A hot hunky daddy left me a hotel key as a tip once too, and I didn’t take that trip either.

Pricing is so erratic. As an economist, I can never justify paying the $300-500 rates that most escort sites in big cities assume. The golden treasures are the poor midsize towns in the Midwest or South where Grindr hotties can be had for $40-$50. More sincere, interested and less narcissistic than the big city pros.

That is not true, going by accounts from friends who've hired rent boys or trannie hoes at least.

Bottom line is once they have your money you cannot force them to do anything, this includes getting a full hour or whatever time that was paid/agreed.

Some idiots think they can call LE (which is stupid) but since contracts for illegal activity are null and void that doesn't go anywhere.

These days thanks to online reviews disgruntled clients at least can get some of their own back. But that is cold comfort after being played out of a hundred or hundreds of dollars.

R154, do you mean “Not a valid business model...on a large scale”? Because there are definitely a couple of male whorehouses in Amsterdam. I went to one of them and had a pretty little blond thing in 2015. I have no idea whether they are profitable or not...

Cost of living in say New York City, San Francisco or LA is more than flyover country so naturally whores like everyone else needs to charge more.

With smarter or whatever pros there is also simple retail math. You can make your money two ways; sell lots of something cheaply, or very little of it at higher prices.

Far better I shouldn't wonder to turn only a few tricks per week/month and earn what is needed, than a constant steady flow of clients day in and out.

Have friends in Hell's Kitchen and Chelsea who have rent boys in their buildings. First give away is a constant parade of gentlemen callers day and night. They looked up some of them on Rentboy.com and NYExotics (before both were shut down) and found rates were rather cheap ($100 to $150 hour). OTOH they found some guys from area they never suspected, but they charged significantly more thus weren't "working" 24/7 to make their money.

Finally you have to consider for all whores their top dollar lifespan is short. Females, trans, guys... When fresh and new to the business they naturally can command high rates; but as years go on (if they are on the game) clients tend to move on to the always arriving new talent.

Case in point look at all the well used gay porn actors who in their prime escorting days made bank. Now guys like Marco Rossi can't even give it away.

Licensed massage therapists don't make that much, at least not in NYC area anyway. Hence reason so many (licensed or not) will give "happy ending" for a bit extra. *LOL*

You see them all over city carrying those folding tables in big black cases. Out call escorts/hustlers pull in far more money on average for hourly work than massage. Besides one needs to attend classes and pass an exam to become a licensed massage person which all costs money. No such layout is required for escorting.

R159

Hot 20-30 somethings likely have their own apps or other ways of meeting clients. Sites like Exotics, Rentboy, etc.... are so yesterday, just like magazine and newspaper adverts were until internet displaced.

A lot of young men who were/are hustling on side or whatever got very nervous when rentboy was busted and files sized. Feds now had information on every advertiser as Rentboy. com was required to collect to have proof models were of legal age. That alone would be a reason to find something else other than a central database to advertise.

Apps really didn't exist when Rentboy, Exotics and other escort sites started, but technology is changing things up rapidly.

Grinder likely is far cheaper than putting an advert up on whatever sites have replaced Rentboy or whoever.

Ironically it was shutting down of Rentboy that pushed many escorts onto apps and or to finding other ways to do their business.

In the past the goal for a lot of escorts was to get regulars and have a regular monthly schedule instead of taking the risk of attracting no-shows and creeps, meaning the escorts stopped advertising. Sort of like a sugar daddy situation where the sugar daddy pays an allowance and it grants him an x-amount of dates.

In my profession I meet a few escorts here and there and sometimes they like to confide (not naming names, but what clients ask of them). One claims he makes most of his money just flattering his clients and act interested in what they are doing at work, about their hobbies, and media entertainment (TV shows, movies, music) they like. Apparently the clients don't get that otherwise. And for a lot of older generation career types it's still considered a weakness to show vulnerability and share how much you care or that you have any feelings at all. Also, intimacy issues have become a problem for a lot of clients of escorts where they can't really interact and communicate properly and that can cause a lot of non-hilarity ensues moments where the client can't even vocalize what he wants and oversteps previously set boundaries. A lot of escorts can do "rape" fantasies, but they have to be in on it first. And for escorts consent is as important as for any other hook up or date.

by Anonymousreply 167March 2, 2020 2:26 PM

I have no problem with the concept of escorting and although I haven't done it myself I would not rule out doing it in future.

The main issue I think I would have is actually finding an escort that I would want to pay for sex. I am not a total knock-out myself but I've not exactly struggled to get laid in the past so for me to pay someone for it, they would have to be absolute perfection. Having idly browsed escort sites before, there are actually very few that I've seen that would meet my standards.

by Anonymousreply 168March 2, 2020 3:57 PM

Escorts aren't really about the (vanilla) sex. You hire someone, because either you are ashamed or self-conscious about something, and need to be in full control of the situation where you make yourself vulnerable and get the desired outcome without much doubt and fear of the partner rejecting what you want and even feel rejected as a person.

That being said am quite sure there are now and always have been those (males and females) higher up on the food chain of whores that are more exclusive. Probably a good percentage of these Instahoe guys or those you see in backgrounds of fabulous parties are quietly on the game.

Sort of like that episode of SATC where Carrie gets picked-up and rolled by some European guy she meets at a party, but next morning he leaves her a "gift".

Don't doubt many of these exclusive hoes have a day job or some other source of income, thus aren't totally reliant on dates. This give some amount of freedom and a veneer of respectability to whole thing. You aren't hiring a pro per se, but just making a generous donation to good friend (with benefits).

I struggled financially when I moved to the Bay Area in the 1980’s. Through a friend I met a number of older men who showed a lot of concern about my finances.

Hoes of all sorts (gays, trans, females) must be still working as not all can afford to go days or weeks without income. Those who were turning tricks on the side as second income may or may not be able to ride this out in certain cities, but that would depend upon their day job still paying.

But as noted previously at least here in NYC many large buildings have stopped anyone but residents from entering; all deliveries and so forth take place in lobby or even in front of main door. So anyone ordering up a hoe must be prepared to go downstairs and fetch them upstairs.

Many hotels are either empty or closed, and people aren't traveling into NYC anyway in large or any numbers. Thus would think for most hoes Covid-19 or not if they can book a date, they will take it. There were male and trans hoes who even during height of HIV/AIDS crisis and afterwards would do bareback/no condom if customers truly stressed the point. So don't think as a group many are going to say "no" to working over Covid-19

Furthermore if you think about it now might be a good time for some gay/trans hoes to make bank.

Outcalls might be a problem, but for those living in walk-up buildings all over Manhattan it is another matter. Many buildings are largely empty as people have left city for country. Thus having people coming in and out all day/night might not attract the attention it otherwise might.

Consider also there are still plenty of men at home with tons of free time on their hands thanks to PAUSE order basically shutting down all offices. You also have people not affected by said PAUSE order who are still working (including LE, and other civil servants who see hoes just like other men). The national guard is in NYC, and also scores of doctors and nurses are arriving to work in hospitals. In short there just might be no shortage of men with an itch that needs scratching.

If spread of STD's then HIV/AIDS didn't stop many hoes from working, again don't see Covid-19 as any real deterrent. If people are out and about in NYC jogging, biking, going to parks and otherwise treating this event as one large extended holiday, do you really think not having sex for duration is top of their list?

Trans, females and males are still working, I assure you; larger issue however is getting into buildings especially better condo and co-op making out calls difficult.

In calls can be managed if the hoe in question lives in any of the number of anonymous five or six floor low rise tenement or other apartment buildings. Long as they keep traffic down not to attract attention... but then again many of their buildings might be largely empty of residents as well.

Despite what many seem to believe in this thread, a good number of hoes don't have the luxury of taking extended vacations. Unless they also had or have some other legitimate job bringing in money, they need to turn tricks...

During height of HIV/AIDs crisis trans, gay and even female hoes still were working, and there was still a steady demand for their services. This even when it became clear how the disease was transmitted.

Ahhh the old Ru! (have known RuPaul for ages), coupled with what was left of the old Meatpacking District.

If they are still alive a good number of those old trans hoes have HIV/AIDS which means at least in NYC they get beenies like Medicaid, free or low cost supportive housing, meds (including hormone therapy), and gender reassignment surgery/breast implants, etc... all on taxpayers money.

Know a few trans that were loosely adjacent to the club kid scene back in the day (read they went to college and got real jobs), and whenever run into them ask about certain old school trans. They reply a good number are dead (AIDs, drug abuse, complications from unsupervised hormone therapy, violence/crime....), others "went back into boys clothes", and are living out remainder of their days best they can.

r229, I'd rather my tax dollars go to keep trans people in hormones and the necessaries of life than, say, build another fucking sports stadium or provide tax breaks for yet another trillion-dollar corporation to provide useless goods or services. Anyway, sex workers have to sacrifice their own sexual preferences to go with people they otherwise would turn down, so by rights they should be rewarded for it.

R231

"Sacrifice" did you say?

You live in some sort of dream world.

Other than those forced into it, no one pushes anyone to be a hoe; it is their choice, and theirs alone.

Second of all you obviously know nothing about prostitutes; most can and do lay with their preferred sexual partners regardless of what sex pays otherwise. Do you honestly believe all those gay for pay go-go boys, hustlers, escorts and the rest give up sleeping with females because they are pulling gay tricks? More to the point scores if not hundreds of women contracted HIV/AIDS from their husbands or boyfriends who were screwing around with men for pay or free.

Majority of trans hookers working meatpacking district were down there for easy money/pickings. This especially towards last decades before city finally cleared things out once and for all. You had big black or Latino men not remotely considered trans just wig and ratty skirt pulling dates, and why? Because guys who want to suck dick while telling themselves they aren't gay pay more than average gay hustlers get.

Save me your sermon about how those trans hooker deserve taxpayer funded services. If you listen to Rupaul's interview those hoes were pulling $$$$ per night they worked, all of it tax free. Multiply that by a career that if only spanned a few years means they earned far more than many working on the books but don't qualify for any assistance.

I had mine( rentboy) over yesterday. He said, his personal training gym was doing great but his escorting had dried up, which I was relieved to hear. I also went grocery shopping, post office, pumped gas and ran by CVS pharmacy. I'm sure I touched hundreds of things that hundreds of others( in a Texas city of 4 million) had also touched. Hell, if anything I may have given it to him. Even a spouse that leaves the house on errands cannot guarantee when they get back their not infected. This new cautious normal and mitigating exposure is great but in the end it's just a roll of the dice.

Very true R232, in countries where prostitution being a HO, is legal or tolerated, it is basically legalised sexual slavery, pimping, and sex trafficking, and the governments of these countries still rake in lots of euros or dollars from it no matter what even if it's legal, tolerated, decriminalised, or illegal...it's all in the game! In many ways the illegality of being a ho in countries where it is not legal or decriminalised is better than countries where it is legal, tolerated, or decriminalised as any hoe or ex-hoe in the game will tell you about how in places where it is illegal they pull in the cash tax free and no cut goes to a pimp/agency IF they are an independent ho.

"Gay for pay" is a myth it is just another term for being bisexual or many gay male hookers will claim to be "straight/het" because they know that there are lots of queens who need that fantasy that they are having sex with a real het/straight guy...

I have been friends with multiple current and former hookers/prostitutes, strippers, and Dominants/Dominatrixes. I like hearing about their clients' kinks. The one guy was bisexual and he talked about how he had done both street prostitution when desperate and as a teen in the early 1980s when his dad kicked him out when he came out as bisexual, and he had a sugar mama who he slept with for money and he seduced her daughter. He told me how sometimes with older gay men he would not do sex with them but they wanted companionship or someone to talk to. He did not get HIV/AIDS as he practiced safer sex, was way more into oral sex-getting/giving, and used condoms for anal and vaginal sex, and did not IV drugs or share needles. He did not sugar coat being a former prostitute as he did say how he was once robbed and raped by a man, and how there was one guy who saw him on the street and wanted to attack him or rob him, and someone else saw this and beat the predatory guy up. We both found it funny how there are apparently prostitutes/hookers who claim that being kept or having a sugar daddy or sugar mama is simply NOT prostitution...Sure Jan.

Another current stripper/prostitute I know dances for cash, and she finds older and younger men both in strip clubs and online, who have a foot fetish and lets them worship her feet, jack off on them, step on their bodies/cocks with her feet or in stiletto heels-this kink is apparently very common it is akin to bisexual and gay men who want men to do this to them wearing boots or shoes, and does foot jobs and hand jobs. It is just for money, and while she is bisexual she has no sexual attraction at all to any of these men. She also will find men who want to have a woman play with their asshole-she wears gloves, or fuck them up the ass with her wearing a strapon dildo.

Another former prostitute got into the game to support his hard drug addictions, he is gay and would have sex with another gay guy who was also selling opiate pills and dope (heroin) and sadly he wound up HIV+ and getting Hep C either from unsafe anal sex as a bottom or from sharing needles; but he is now sober, on meds, and doing well.

Knew Ru through mutual friends (largely Club Kids) and from bars/clubs; didn't get all up into her/his private business.

What always admired about RuPaul is that unlike the trans who often gave her shade for not being "real" or whatever (including fact Ru didn't wear drag unless working/getting paid), was her/his work ethic. People seem to think that RuPaul came out of nowhere with Drag Queen Races and the rest; fact is Miss. Girl worked her behind off just like any performer who has gone onto a successful career.

I am 55. When I was in my 20s and 30s I worked out regularly and always had a boyfriend or could easily find someone for sex. I was a solid 8 out of 10 in looks which means I could never attract a perfect 10, sometimes a 9, but never a 10. My cock is above average, but back in the day nobody published pictures of their cocks and people pretty much didn't qualify you on this measure.

When I was in my late 30s I met a hot Puerto Rican with an amazing body and cock. That part of him was a 10, his mental and emotional IQ lowered his overall score, but we stayed together until 2 years ago.

The first thing I thought of when we ended things was how I am going to survive without his perfect cock to play with? I now use apps such as Grindr and find different kids of guys who are truly into men my age who are in good shape. The sex is good and mutual. I still have not met anyone with a cock as nice as my ex's.

I recently met someone on Grindr who sent me a pic of his perfect cock, but he asked if I am gen. I was curious and asked how much and we agreed on a price and he came over and all I did was touch his sculpted body and suck on his nice piece. He got very hard and he let me suck as long as I wanted until I came. He got paid and left. He was polite, but there was no chemistry at all.

I have invited him back 3 more times and each time is the same as the time before. I am losing interest because the interaction is so similar and imagine I will pretty soon stop calling him. He kind of feels like a living sex robot. I imagine someday when robots become more realistic and become mainstream, the interaction will be similar to this guy. Not bad at all, but not everything either.

I feel fortunate to come into middle age with great memories of mutual passionate sex, the kind that comes with having a face and body that others found attractive, and lucky that several still do.

I see myself more open to paying for limited/safe sex down the road as I get older and my Grindr dates diminish with age.

Life is about being realistic with what you presently have to work with, when beauty fades and you continue to want beauty, you need make yourself more attractive with cash.

Trannie hookers one knows of explained how they protect themselves from being busted when doing in or out calls.

Experienced indoor prostitutes (male, female or trans) know the deal and so do LE. Many won't even ask or whatever about money until after sex has begun or is over. That of course means you have to know your customer including he won't get his jollies for free then leave, but it is probably the one full proof method.

Most hoes say they are pretty good at spotting undercover LE; they just have a look about them and or don't behave like regular johns. When it comes to busting gay or trans sex workers not every LE is willing to kiss or even touch another guy.

Mostly however undercover busts follow a predictable script; they have to for the thing to stand up in court. Hoes know this and look for signs; like cars suddenly stationing themselves around their building. A john who stands near front window and pulls out a huge wad of bills to count off one or two hundreds.... The cop is wired of course so a simple search or undressing will give that up. Noise outside in hall of apartment (cops waiting to make the bust), etc...

Suppose what you say might be true, but IIRC reading old news reports a good number of gay men turned up dead either in their apartments, and or were found on the piers (if not the river) after picking up tricks. Don't think one serial murder of gay men at that time was ever caught IIRC.

Trans of course have also been turning up dead from dates they met in bars/clubs or along meatpacking district stroll.

If persons could accurately read the intentions of strangers scores if not hundreds of women, children, boys and even men wouldn't have met gruesome deaths via serial killers.

I hired a hooker once and will never do it again. I was on vacation in Florida and was horny and saw an ad for a hot looking guy and thought, "What the hell? I'm on vacation."

It was a mistake. The guy who showed up was gorgeous - a big, young German hunk. However, he was most likely straight and didn't seem to know what to do really. He said he had recently moved to Florida from Frankfurt and was living with his brother and sister-in-law. He had a job in construction, but wanted to make more money so he could move out and live on his own. He said his brother and sister-in-law didn't know he was escorting.

He was the sweetest guy, and I could tell that this was not his thing, so I put a stop to it after about 5 minutes. I had a hotel room with a balcony that overlooked the ocean, and he loved the ocean, so we just sat on my balcony and watched the water for a while. He thanked me for being nice and offered to give me my money back, but I paid him anyway, and before he left, I told him I didn't think he should do this anymore and that it didn't seem like the right choice for him.

About six months later, I had to go back to Florida for work. Out of curiosity, I looked online to see if he still had an ad up, and he didn't. I hope he took my advice and gave up the escorting.

So short story long, it wasn't the experience I had hoped for and I wouldn't do it again.

I was a closeted professional back in 2008. When I finally allowed myself to fall in love with a guy, I was outed to my friends by a bitter asshole who was jealous of our new relationship. That relationship didn't last very long as I'd never been with a man until then and felt totally ill at ease. So, I decided to hire a professional to tutor me and help me build a level of comfort that I was missing.

Through referrals, I selected a man who was an actor / writer in New York. We 'dated' for about 3 years. We traveled all over the US and Europe and I developed a comfort with myself that hadn't enjoyed.

Eventually, I wanted something more serious and we stopped meeting. But, I will always be grateful for his kindness and his help. He has stopped escorting now.

Hiring an escort has worked fine with me. I use a big website, choose the guy carefully. I give very detailed info what I want and especially what I don’t want. It is a contract. He gets money I get hot guy I would never get without paying. I hate finding a man in a bar or a club. I actually have found better guys during day in hotels beaches and cafes than from a bar. But if the vacation has been sexually dry I hire an escort. But you have to know the rules, keep it physical. Be nice pay full price and give a tip if you the service was good.

"You obviously haven't hired too many escorts. The hotter ones actually expect to be the ones being pleasured a lot of the time."

They can expect whatever they want. And they should be able to choose what kind of work they do. But you aren't obligated to do what they want. You're the one paying. You get to choose who you hire and what you want to do.

In my experience, escort sex, like "regular" sex, is a two way street.

You should be very clear before you begin about what you expect/want and what you're going to pay. The escort does the same about their expectations and "salary." You either agree to each other's terms or you agree that there will be no transaction.

It's like hiring someone to build you shelves, or remodel your kitchen (make plumbing joke here), or take of your yard. (Mowing and plowing jokes for sure).

Some hookers, trans, or whatever try to pull "if you don't pay I'll call a cop" BS; but that's mostly a scare tactic. First of all one or both sides should know what LE won't do jack shit to force someone to pay a hoe. What it will do is alert LE to who is working as a hoe and where they have base of operations.

As for paying a hoe, escort, or whatever they call themselves be they males, females, or trans and not getting services agreed upon, it happens all the time. You can go onto any review site and read posts from guys who explicitly asked for "X" , handed over their money and got none of it. There is little a john can do at that point unless willing to go with physical violence.

OP, would you be more comfortable with the BF Experience? Hire an escort to take to dinner, get to know them, chit-chat, then fuck?

Some straight men who use escorts are into the GF Experience.

If I understand things correctly issue with many gay and trans escorts is while they advertise BFE experience, and will surely take a client's money, what the guy gets is another matter.

Maybe it's just part of their sex but natural females seem to have an easier time of making someone believe they are into them, even when they aren't. Well at least the more successful whores, escorts, mistresses or whatever they call themselves seem to posses that skill.

You look at review sites and client after client moans how they paid for BFE and were treated anyway but. Am going to guess those dates weren't tall cool drinks of water (or whatever turned the trans or gay escort on), and thus they shut down and or otherwise could barely hide the fact they just weren't into their date.

I've 'rented' a guy maybe half a dozen times.

Only once was it a bad experience (guy was NOT like his photos, which were old and he'd been "pumping" since his photos, so his dick was nearly useless, and it was also clear he had gotten into meth relatively recently...)

Most of the other times were totally worth it.

I probably won't do it again though.

I am friends with bisexual and gay men and women who were at one time in their lives hustlers/escorts/rent boys/call girls/prostitutes/strippers turned prostitutes, etc. They all said how they did it temporarily for fast money, in some cases to fund hard drug addictions, or for survival as they were homeless or very close to being homeless. They all said how it was by far the worst "job" or way they made money they ever did. They were not sexually attracted to the clients, but had to pretend that they were, despite how the clients were not nice people and would try to rob them, rip them off, basically or had raped/sexual assaulted them, get sex for free, etc. They said that the worst were the clients who thought that became obsessed with them and stalked them or thought they could "save" or make them stop doing sex for pay, and that the clients who assume that because they were paying for sex regularly that it meant they were now in a relationship or boyfriends were delusional.

A lot of it was based on trying to overcharge the client or getting the clients to talk a lot, and/or kill time with massage so 30 mins quickly became a full hour, etc. or basically getting as much money as they could from the clients for as little sex as possible.

The ones who did domination/fetish based sex work said how they did this as it was safer sex, they would have basically to do things like the one call girl in the video below says how she has a guy who she kicks in the balls while wearing stilletto heels, and did not have to have vanilla sex or close physical contact for long periods of time with a stranger/client.

If it weren't for guys who stripped, lap-danced, and escorted, I wouldn't have had any sexual contact with anyone in the last 12 years. So I'm thankful they exist, though sorry they're in a situation where they need to do this.

Have you tried websites or apps R305? My friends that are super shy use them and have excellent success.

R95 are you still in NYC on Grindr, what zip code and describe yourself, I will look for you.

I am 55. When I was in my 20s and 30s I worked out regularly and always had a boyfriend or could easily find someone for sex. I was a solid 8 out of 10 in looks which means I could never attract a perfect 10, sometimes a 9, but never a 10. My cock is above average, but back in the day nobody published pictures of their cocks and people pretty much didn't qualify you on this measure.

When I was in my late 30s I met a hot Puerto Rican with an amazing body and cock. That part of him was a 10, his mental and emotional IQ lowered his overall score, but we stayed together until 2 years ago.

The first thing I thought of when we ended things was how I am going to survive without his perfect cock to play with? I now use apps such as Grindr and find different kids of guys who are truly into men my age who are in good shape. The sex is good and mutual. I still have not met anyone with a cock as nice as my ex's.

I recently met someone on Grindr who sent me a pic of his perfect cock, but he asked if I am gen. I was curious and asked how much and we agreed on a price and he came over and all I did was touch his sculpted body and suck on his nice piece. He got very hard and he let me suck as long as I wanted until I came. He got paid and left. He was polite, but there was no chemistry at all.

I have invited him back 3 more times and each time is the same as the time before. I am losing interest because the interaction is so similar and imagine I will pretty soon stop calling him. He kind of feels like a living sex robot. I imagine someday when robots become more realistic and become mainstream, the interaction will be similar to this guy. Not bad at all, but not everything either.

I feel fortunate to come into middle age with great memories of mutual passionate sex, the kind that comes with having a face and body that others found attractive, and lucky that several still do.

I see myself more open to paying for limited/safe sex down the road as I get older and my Grindr dates diminish with age.

Life is about being realistic with what you presently have to work with, when beauty fades and you continue to want beauty, you need make yourself more attractive with cash.

[quote] The worst escort is Robert Repulveda Jnr who charged a guy $900 just to sit on the bed and give him a hand job.

OMG - that’s highway robbery

R110 talk about jacking up the price

A few months ago someone told me that you could still find amateur male escorts on Craigslist hidden in the garden section ...??? I can't recall where , but I did look and sure enough did find some guys posted.

Does anyone know of this secret / covert spot on CL?

by Anonymousreply 312January 8, 2021 8:32 AM

You just have to go for it if you’re going to do it. It’s not for everybody but I do think everybody should try it once in their lives. I would never known about it if it hadn’t tried it once. I would have never met some of the best people and had the best experiences in my life with hired help. It is what it is.

It’s also a window into other worlds. I learned a lot from escorts and they them and they keep me young spirited. There are some excellent ones out there. Born for it and they go all over the world with it. They are not high profile or flashy. But if I had never done it the one time I would have never known. It’s more common than you think.

I when you get the good ones, it’s worth every penny and more.

yes I’m drunk sure me. I’m missing my French escort boy toy Peter (the great as I call him) He will be back in the states this summer though. He brings his own candles. and leaves me with the candles so I smell him all winter long and await his return.

Peter if you’re out there, I count the days until I can lie with you again mon cheri.
