Becoming an Escort

Ok, I know I'm totally turning this blog into a porn-education blog, but I just came across this and I really wanted to post it somewhere.

Did you know that there are sites out there which rate hustlers?

Yes, that's right. Rate-your-own-rentboy. It's almost like... rating your favourite movie, isn't it? Except the commodity you're rating happens to have a body and a soul (or perhaps not). But damn... some of the reviews are interesting, and they really run the gamlet. Not all are gay-for-pay street kids or HIV+ street kids, or whatever stereotype you might have of them. People become hustlers for many reasons. And some of them even enjoy it. Below are three reviews which I thought illustrate this diversity best. They come from www.male4malescorts.com, and all live and work mainly in Toronto. Some have pictures.

WARNING: Some of the following descriptions describe gay-sex in graphic ways. You have been warned.

Here's the first one, which I consider a neutral review to get you started.

Experience: Found Joey on rentboy and emailed him. He called me back and we arranged to meet at his Chicago hotel. During our initial conversation he had made it was clear he is not a top.

He was freshly showered upon my arrival. We chatted for a few and got down to business. He started rubbing me all over and we made out for awhile. He has a great body so I was licking and kissing him all over. Soon I had him flipped over on his stomach and was eating out his ass. Very tasty! This led to me flipping him over and I proceeded to suck a huge load out of him as I fingered his hole. After a few minutes of rest I started beating off and he helped me out but fingering my hole.

Sucking Joey off was hot but his kisses were just OK and I got the sense he wasn''t really into the session.

Ok, now I'll start with a bad review. This guy obviously had serious issues, seeing how badly he was rated by his reviewers. Interestingly, this particular reviewer says he's a twenty-something bi-curious guy. Most other clients are 40-50 something closeted gays. Even the clients are diverse...

Where Found? Hooboy's M4M
Reviewed Before? Yes Match Description? No Lived up? No

Experience:
I contacted chris through the M4M website. he replied promptly but would not make definite plans. He told me to call him back the day of our meeting. when I arrived a few minutes early, he would not let me into his apartment building saying that he was on the phone with his mom and that I should call up again in 10 minutes. When I got in, I was surprised that he did not look even remotely close to what his advertised picture is. Not toned at all, but has an average size dick, he asked for cash up front and right away. He then asked if I wanted to start with a massage, and I thought that might be good. But he used a very smelly "no-name" brand vitamin e lotion which was almost empty and just turned me right off. at this point, I noticed that the blinds in the room were open and that everyone could see in. I told him i wanted them closed and went to close them, but he said that nobody cares and went to open his drapes again. we then proceeded to kiss, he had the WORST breath, and has a very strange way of kissing, he was knocking his teeth against mine (it hurt!), and being very aggressive with his tongue.
So I just stopped the kissing. I then went to go give him a blow job, but he would not get hard at all. he said "it takes alot to get me hard" which did wonders for my ego. When I was down there, there was a very strong smell of BO, so after a good 5 minutes, I was getting tired of getting nowhere fast, so I asked him to give me a blow job. He went down and licked my dick once, then spit on his hand and gave me a handjob instead. So I asked him again to blow me, but he wouldn't. So I had to get myself off instead, just to try and salvage the dwindling hope I was having that this would be a good session.
I also asked him if he would bottom for me, and he responded by telling me that it was a shame and he had no condomns on him. I told him that I brought some, and then he said, I'm gonna charge you $80 more for this. I was taken aback, so I didn't press the issue further. By this point, I had lost interest all together, and it was only half an hour into the session. The session was also interrupted by a few phone calls that he had to answer (which is very rude) and I decided to leave at this point because not only did his bad B.O. rub off on me, and I stunk like him too, but also because I was getting a bad vibe from him, and wanted to get the hell out, and take a shower. All in all, a very creepy half an hour that I do not wish to live again.

20 year old male, cute and fit. curious about being with another guy for the first time, so I decided to try to use an escort to be discreet. Wanted to try everything

Now this is an extremely intimate review. Almost all reviewers for this guy gave similar glowing reviews about just how incredibly hot, romantic, or sophisticated this guy is. It is clear from the reviews that Justin Wakefield does escorting more for the pleasure and the convenience or his fun, happy-go-lucky lifestyle. I never thought I'd be envious of a prostitute!

Experience:
I have known Justin when he first came to my attention a few years ago at a Toronto club. He is without a doubt one of the all-round sexiest guys I have ever met. A picture does not do a person's energy justice, and the reason I am writing a review after all this time is that I know he has recently transitioned back to Toronto after spending several years in NYC. Having recently ended a relationship with someone whose work schedule was unrelenting and whose interests, he claimed, were not diverse enough to hold his attention. As this guy is kind of my dream boyfriend type, I can only wonder how any man would not go out of his way to rework his schedule for this stud! That guy's loss is definitely my gain. I have been trying to orchestrate our get-together for some time, but Justin was faithfully unavailable due to the BF. Anyway, what made our luncheon "dry hump" so HOT was that this boy would fit in anywhere, and his bountiful charm, wicked smile and amazing verbal skill have always impressed me. Sitting across from each other during a simple meal, it's amazing how sexually charged an encounter with a guy like Justin can be. He was so obviously trying to undress every part of me across the table that afternoon that I was hard for the entire appetizer. This may seem somewhat bizarre, but Justin is an "escort" in the truest sense of the word. He could be thrown into any environment and make an amazing impression on people. We met at CANOE restaurant on King St. in downtown Toronto, one of the nicer luncheon places to dine, and spent the most amazing 2-hours together getting much better acquainted. It was one of the most erotic encounters of my life as we talked about so many amazing things we have in common. He was telling me of his recent ventures into television, and we talked about the Canadian film industry versus the U.S., politics, sex and sexuality, the art of seduction, travel and languages. Justin has recently been taking an intensive Spanish language course "for my own enjoyment" as he put it... and it is this level of incredible sophistication that is hard to find in a HooBoy. From the moment he strolled into the restaurant in a crisp, clean suit to his inevitable departure that had me desperately wanting to take him to a hotel only he had a big audition to get to... I will definitely be seeing this incredibly seductive and sexy dude again. His rate was lowered for me as our time together was actually JUST for lunch and the incredible flirtations that went along with it. The only downside to our encounter was the fact that due to recent travels he had a rather deep (for this otherwise pasty and pale - mm mmm!) tan on every part of his body except his derrier. A small thing to quip about, but nonetheless... thought some of you should know. Anyway, when we parted ways at the foyer, he more than made up for it with an incredibly slow, sensual and prolonged kiss on my lips. He was discreet enough to ask if it was okay first, and that made it all the hotter.

I work in the computer industry. I am 45 years old . I have significant family attachments, so these encounters for me are as much about fantasy as anything else. The idea of being in the company of a hot, educated and sweet stud is what really turns me on. Boyish in particular drives me crazy. I am moving towards actually taking things to a more realized physical interaction with someone like Justin in particular, but for now the step before foreplay is what really turns me on. Romantic energy, and kissing and gentle touch are what make me most aroused and satisfied.

Ok, so now you've heard from the clients. How about the escorts themselves?

Well, how I came across the Male2Male site in the first place was via links from gay blogs, and one of this blogs was that of an escort. http://www.gay-escort.blogspot.com/

I haven't read it all, of course. Some of the stuff he does is in my opinion gross and kind of... wrong. But some other stuff are kind of cute. Like this one:

Tonight on the dance floor with Forge I caught myself batting my eyelashes. It's this thing I do with my eyes when I'm trying to seduce a client. It's a trick I use to make the client forget he hired me, to make it feel real for him, to look like I'm falling for him. Unfortunately for a second I was on autopilot dancing with Forge and I batted my eyelashes. Shoot! I don't want to play a role with him, I want to be my real self.

I know I am thinking about Forge too much, but how am I going to tell him I am a hooker? Not to mention the issue of when do I tell him? And do I talk about it the past, present, or future tense? I mean, do I say I "was" one, "am" one, or "will be" one? What if he says, "The past is the past, but there is no way I'd date someone who is escorting on the side." Fuck I wish I could just say, "This is who I am, deal with it!" I really hate that it feels so much like a second coming out.
My last boyfriend Hive (not his real name), broke up with me because of the sex work. I didn’t hook while we were together, but just the thought of wealthy men fucking me, hungering for me was too much for him. For sure, there are sacrifices.

And I'll end with this last thoughtful comment:

I saw Brokeback Mountain yesterday. I left the theater feeling sad of course, but also feeling happy that both of the characters loved deeply and experienced real passion even if it was only for a few days at a time several times a year. I think some guys that hire me look for that same thing. They can't, for whatever personal reason, have an openly gay life. So a few times a year I become that boyfriend they go "fishing" with. I have to be careful with it, but I think it brings my clients genuine joy albeit against a background sadness.

What do YOU think?
