Addendum-I almost never delete my texts. I just found our conversation from 2012. And I was correct in all the main particulars. It was BOTH!! Plus if you think he is on the pricey side as a masseur, he was even more as an escort. Gman

This guy lived in Seattle for years although that wasn't the name he went by. He may have been from Seattle originally, but he had moved back there from NYC. I often wondered what happened to him as I noticed I hadn't seen his ad for the last two or three years. He used to travel frequently with his dog (he had a blog). And I think initially, I just thought he was on a road trip. It's been years ago, but I think I asked about an escort session once. I told him I was interested in a boyfriend experience. I think he told me he just liked to pound a butt or possibly it was a vajayjay he liked to pound (or both). Now this memory is very dim. I don't know if he ever actually escorted. But that's the memory I have. Gman

Jonas is only advertising as a top. But you can always ask. I'm going to shamelessly plug Dean again. I was so nervous the first time I met him that I felt so bad that I wanted to add an extra tip. (I should also mention that aside from being nervous meeting him-there was the real possibility that meeting him would make me miss my plane flight home and make me miss work. If I hadn't been wanting to meet him for so long (I had wanted to meet him for a long time, but he only made infrequent visits to the USA, and never to where I lived. Then he retired from escorting for a while, and I thought I had missed my chance to meet him) I wouldn't have taken that risk. So he walked me out to my rent car. As I was about to leave, I wanted to add an extra tip onto the tip I had given him previously. He actually refused it. Ok shameless plug over. Gman.

You might consider Dean Monroe. He's a former porn star. I've met with him several times although the last was probably 4 years ago. He's very kind. He's very experienced. If you decide you like him, contact him and let him know you are new to this. Tell him (or anyone you contact) exactly what you are looking to get out of the experience. https://rent.men/Deanmonroex Gman

After I posted the above Hide Me started working again. But now it isn't. On both mobile Chrome and Safari, the reviews will pop up briefly for me. Then the page will change to the RM privacy acceptance page. I accept the privacy notice. Then Hide Me brings up a page like this. Anyone else having this problem? Gman

You weren't asking me. But I hope you don't mind me offering a suggestion or two. If your discretionary funds are limited, I think I would try to, as much as possible, narrow your list to well-known guys with good reviews. Then from that list, try @MikeBiDude's approach, if you like. I occasionally met with guys who exclusively advertised as tops. But it was usually for either a weekend or an overnight at the least. On the other hand, I don't know if I could recommend it. In many cases I probably shouldn't have asked. There may have been a few that worked out ok for me. Kissing is another thing. If I were really attracted to a guy, I'd contact him and ask about kissing. There was one guy I met in Florida -he hasn't advertised in years-and was only visiting Florida at the time -who didn't list kissing. But who was an incredible kisser. I asked him why he didn't list it. He said something about he didn't think that many people would be interested. On the other hand, I think more often than not -not advertising kissing (even if in conversation they said they would ) turned out to be more accurate. So I guess I'm saying that while @MikeBiDude's approach seems to work for him, it probably only occasionally worked for me. And if I had limited discretionary funds, I'd probably go more for well-reviewed guys where you have a better idea of what they are into. Gman

Well you do mention language barrier. But then the question of the texts. If they were composed well, was there really a language barrier? Or could someone else have been texting for him because of his problems with language? Or as someone mentioned, could he have confused you with someone else? Gman

It seems to me to be a bit of a scam. He wasn't comfortable with what you wanted. But didn't tell you because he didn't want to lose a client. The only proviso where I would think it wouldn't be a scam is if he thought he could do it until the time came. Gman

We must have read two different posts. Gman

Generic Cialis is still really expensive. I think it was $114 for thirty 5 mg tablets. I only used Cialis once. I didn't have anything planned. But wanted to see about the erection. Nothing happened. And that was back when I achieved erections much easier than I do now. If I'm remembering what my urologist said, Cialis lasts longer but is weaker in it's effect than Viagra. But I've had times when Viagra hasn't worked either. I really like the dissolvable form or Levitra. It's called Staxyn. Aside from the difficulty getting it out of the foil, it's really easy to take as you just let it dissolve on your tongue. Gman

They aren't antacids, so they don't work immediately. They stop/greatly reduce stomach acid production when taken on a routine basis. It's possible that taken the day before or at the same time as Viagra or Cialis they might lessen stomach acid enough for the next day, but you'd have to figure when best to time it. Gman

An update on pricing as generic Viagra has really come down in price. I usually take 100 mg at a time. Using the GoodRx app I could get the equivalent (6 tablets) of [uSER=10623]@MassageGuy[/uSER]'s generic Revatio for $12.50. And the equivalent of @gregkidman (= 18 tablets) for 21.07. Just recently I priced things out in my area on GoodRx using generic Revatio (which only comes in 20 mg strength) vs generic Viagra (again looking at the 100 mg generic Viagra and figuring it takes 5 tablets of the 20 mg generic Revatio to equal that), the generic Viagra was cheaper. I realize not everyone uses 100 mg of Viagra, and I didn't compare for other dosages. Gman

I think I heard he was straight. I'd be surprised if y'all couldn't find some equally hot gay guy or two. Gman

I'm one of those. It matters to me. I prefer to be with gay males-or bi with a strong preference toward the gay side. I know they won't be attracted to me. Still I find the-camaraderie-knowing that even if they aren't attracted to me, we probably have other attractions in common. Plus I don't need the fantasy that a straight guy has gone gay just for me. As for Vin-I thought years ago I had heard of a wife and maybe a daughter. But maybe that was for someone else, and I'm conflating that guy with Vin. Gman

I thought that was how he used to advertise. But even if he did and doesn't now, or if I'm totally mistaken, the second part of my declaration still stands. Gman

While I don't think it was your intention, for me at least, you've just damned him with faint praise. Gman

We had an email conversation years ago. He was very friendly throughout even though he knew I had no intention of ever hiring him as I'm not into straight tops ( well really any type of tops-straight or not). Gman

There's a lot of info from years past. The take-away message was STAY AWAY!! Gman

I always lusted after pictures of Andrew too. Picture 21 is def one of his old ones. You have a good eye, @big-n-tall. I'm not sure I would have picked up on it immediately. But with you leading me into the topic, I know I recognize some pictures. Andrew was always athletic (very leanly muscled), but he appears to have put on some bulkier muscle. Gman

Did you read about the hair in another article because that's not what this one says? Gman

But he is only advertising as a top. ??? Gman

I'd say these are all old pictures. I'd ask for something showing a date. Gman

He has face pictures on his ad. Gman

With his current pictures, it looks like he's put on some muscle. Gman

Forgive me. I wasn't quite sure if you were referring to being a porn star, being incredibly handsome, having a large tallywacker, or a combination of some/all of those? And while I don't think I'd want to be a porn star, I wouldn't mind the other three. Of course if I had the other three, maybe I wouldn't mind being a porn star. ? Gman
