It looks like Paxum is not processing payments in Belarus, Russia and Ukraine. Skrill is based in the UK so it's possible they might be pressured next. I couldn't find much about CosmoPayment and ePayService. I think it's safe to say that Bitcoin will remain safe for this kind of thing. They have a pretty strict decentralization ethos and have already said they are not going to block Russia from the blockchains.

This is very interesting to me and thank you for articulating it so well. I think I am also an 'in time' person. I too have trouble thinking of how long things take. But I'm probably a bit more punctual. I actually set me clocks ahead about five minutes just to make sure I get where I need a bit earlier. I'm also probably a bit more in between "in-time" and "through-time." I do think it's rude to be more than about 10-15 minutes late but also to be that much early. How do you manage to work in a more "through-time" world?

I met with him in DC. I say my experience was mixed. PM for more details if you like.

I do see that actually. Yeah that could be hot.

I guess I didn't think about just having a membership for a couple months here and there when I am really actively hiring. That's a good thought. Thanks for all of your advice M4Mers!

I really don't find him very attractive. His face has almost alien quality to it. He's in good shape but there are guys with just as hot bodies and more attractive overall that aren't trying to rip you off like he is.

With Rent.Men now only allowing premium members to review escorts I am curious about whether it's worth getting a premium membership. I don't have a premium membership but it's only $9.99 a month. Do you premium members think it's worth it? I do like to leave reviews and it would be nice to see locked photos right away. Just curious of the value in a premium membership for those who have one.

The most important thing is knowledge. Good escorts (and really good clients) get tested regularly and quickly notify clients of any potential issues. I did actually get Chlamydia from an escort but was able to test and treat very quickly because he tested frequently and informed me quickly as well. In my opinion, the risk of STDs is actually higher if you're having frequent Grindr hookups over frequent escort hookups. Not every dude on Grindr tests themselves regularly or even cares or knows how to contact you if they did catch something. As a client, this is also something that should be part of your escort conversation. How frequently do you get tested? Do you notify your clients if you test positive for an STD? If you don't like their answers, then maybe don't spend time with them.

Several recent studies suggest that three vaccine doses of an MRNA vaccine provides robust, long-lasting protection for most people including with COVID variants. These vaccines promote B and T immune cells to quickly recognize the virus and destroy it. It's absolutely true that vaccine antibodies wane, but if anything the B and T cells get more robust and better able to recognize variants over time. So while you can still get a COVID infection, your immune system responds quickly and neutralizes the virus within a few days. I actually had a very brief illness around New Year's. I was technically "COVID positive," but it was basically a very slight fever and a like scratchy throat for a couple days and that was about it. My immune system basically took care of it. I had by far worse side effects to the booster itself. The new boosters aren't yet geared towards Omicron anyway. I think I'm going to go with Dr. Fauci who is suggesting that we take a yearly booster just like the flu shot. There's a new nose-spray booster under development that probably would be both easier to take and offer better protection. I think I'll wait a bit to take a 4th booster myself.

I'm a millennial and consider myself pan. I have a lot of friends with a variety of gender and orientations, many of them married with kids. I think people just increasingly find labels pointless.

Yep..I have a massive porridge kink.

The reality is that a 7" plus penis is very rare. Probably only about 1 percent of men have a penis larger than 7 inches. Obviously men who escort are often "exceptional," in many ways with of course penis size being one of them. But yeah we should realize that those 7" plus dicks are very rare.

There is definitely a lot of "inflation." I think most guys who say they are 8" are really 7." Another great guy in New York specifically is https://rent.men/RickyP/ He is a really nice, professional guy and he has a nice Goldilocks dick.

I'm kinda with you on those super-big guys. It's fun every once in a while, but I feel the work to take that can be a bit much. If you see Matt Muck or Erik Shelly in your area, those are both great guys that would fit your bill, so to speak.

Another caveat I just thought of and relates to my personal experience. I will now not meet with any guy who refuses to meet me in public first. It's actually happened to me a few times where I was supposed to just come up to his hotel room or apartment or whatever only to encounter some type of security that prevents me from doing so. In one instance, I was actually escorted by a security guard off the property because the guy refused to meet me in the lobby and I couldn't explain who I was trying to visit. Now I am just explicit whenever I am travelling to a provider. I need you to meet me in the lobby or even preferably on the sidewalk outside the building.

I have not met him, but really like his profile. I like the line, "I'll let me reviews say the rest." 24 5-star reviews is pretty solid in my opinion. If you like him, I say go for it.

I think the main caveat should always be to go into it with reasonable expectations. I don't always get 100% of what I want from every session, but I don't let that upset me. These guys are human beings and things do happen.

Welcome to the forum! In my opinion, erotic massages are the absolute best. You get that stress relief and some erotic time with a good-looking man. Definitely give it a try.

I've met a few fellow members....they're are a lot of great people on the forum for sure. Hopefully will meet some more soon. If any of you end up in Denver and want to grab lunch or something, I am definitely down.

Quite a few hotels have a full breakfast even some lower-budget ones. I just stayed at the Citizen M Hotel in Washington DC and they also have a nice bar/restaurant with some good grab-to-go options for lunch and dinner including some nice hot options. I had a pretty good falafel sandwich with a little Mediterranean salad for only like $12. You could eat at the bar or just as easily take it to your room. Not quite as bad as room service.

One of my absolutely favorite regulars is in his 50s. He actually looks late 30s/early 40s and is absolutely wonderful in every way. He bought a more affordable home in a rural community and has already paid it off. So now he escorts just to make extra money and travel/enjoy life.

I think you hit it on the head right here. I recently did an overnight with an escort I hadn't met before. While not a total bomb, I do think I would've enjoyed a shorter session with this particular guy. But I have had some absolutely wonderful overnight sessions with guys that I have a lot more rapport with, both sexually and emotionally/intellectually. I do not think I will ever do an overnight with an escort I have not met before. And that might be good advice for you too.

I recommend both Ben and Erik. Great guys!

I've been swimming since the summer. I think the risk is pretty low. I have a pass that gets me into all the city rec centers and many of the indoor pools are rarely used. I typically am the only swimmer or one of just 2-3 swimmers. It probably helps that I don't have a 9-5 job and can swim in the middle of the day but even when I go on the weekends, the pools have very few people. And meanwhile the basketball courts and the weight rooms are often packed...which is definitely a COVID risk.

I think M4M.org would be the best if it's available
