5 thoughts for better Escort Ads

[tenderloin]

Hi guys -

 

After a stretch of several mostly unsatisfying encounters, it occurs to me that it might be worth offering some suggestions for clarity in escort ads. I really am trying to help, so apologies in advance if I offend!

 

1. While the point has been endlessly debated here, let me just say it: if you say in your ad that you are versatile, most people will assume you are not referring to language skills or are a singer who dances -- it means you will bottom. Don't act annoyed if you use the word versatile in your ad that we ask you to bottom.

 

2. If you can't ever do an incall, don't say "ask me" in your ad. What's the point of that? A good simple "no" will tell me not to bother you since I can't host.

 

3. And what's this crap with not putting $$ figures for your rates? If you are going to leave your rate section blank, don't be offended if people try to negotiate. And BTW, rates are by the hour unless you specifically state otherwise prior to the encounter getting underway. This "oh, that's my rate for 30 minutes" routine is BS.

 

4. Don't describe yourself as "friendly", "affectionate", or "romantic" and then act like a mannequin on the bed. Some people are into cold, annonymous encounters and that's ok. If you advertise yourself as affectionate, I am going to look for a romantic encounter and not just pop'n go. If you don't think you can be appropriately affectionate, tell the client politely at the outset that you can't go through with it.

 

5. When you use the word "clean" in your ad, unless someone specifically requests otherwise, clean up inside and out! I like to rim, and I tell folks that in advance. Even so, you wouldn't believe the condition of some of the tushes that have been placed before me! Ditto for smelly pits and bad breath. Both clients and scorts have an obligation to be well-groomed and fresh as a daisy for their time together.

 

There's more, of course, but those are all driven off of recent experience. Hope it helps.

While I agree with number 5 both escort and client should be clean inside and out there is another meaning to "clean." And that new meaning is they are hiv negative (so they think) or are free of other std's. This is a fairly new term that has been used for the last year or two.

I agree with Seaboy - I assume clean means disease free. That said, smelly pits are HOT - at the very least I ask for no deodorant (if I remember)...nothing like licking the man scent off a hairy armpit.

I am sure you are right re the definition of "clean" in today's world, but as Seaboy pointed out, a claim of "clean" in that sense is not worth anything. One must always assume...

 

On the other hand, unless you are into smelly pits or some scat fetish, I think it is reasonable to expect an escort to have showered and douched.

>use the word versatile in your ad that we ask you to bottom.

 

LOL. So true. It's gotten to where I even avoid guys who are

"Versatile/Top". I have no idea what that means, and the

variations are endless.

 

I don't have time...do you bottom?....Yes/No?

 

>3. And what's this crap with not putting $$ figures for your rates?

 

Another one of my pet peeves. If the rate isn't clear in the

ad, I don't call. It's that simple. I don't like to haggle and

discussing the rate is tacky. In addition, I think you're setting

yourself up for the vice squad.

 

>4. Don't describe yourself as "friendly",

>"affectionate", or "romantic" and then act

Too subjective for me to care about. On man's "friendly"

is another man's "cold fish". Describe yourself however you

want. The chemistry will either be there...or it won't.

 

 

>5. When you use the word "clean" in your ad, unless

>someone specifically requests otherwise, clean up inside and

>out!

 

Cleanliness is next to Godliness. Enough said...

Tenderloin..Your right on the Money with these 5 Points.

 

It seems that Advertising on Rentboy has become very Fashionable since $$$ is getting tighter and tighter at least in the NYC Market.

While the Quality of Working Guys is going down!

 

It seems now every guy just follows a "Check List" that they feel works for Contacts since it seems to work for everyone who has been Advertising for years on there!

 

Unfortunately this List should really be on the Rentboy Front Page for Prospective Working Guys and Clients to read! ;-)

It means: I will top you, or I will lie there while you get yourself off.

[Guest Merlin]

If you are going to rim you should start out showering together in any event.

[Guest Merlin]

An escort who is HIV positive should state so. It is not enough to say "everyone should assume everyone else is positive and use safe sex". Sex is never completely safe and accidents happen. If you are a good person you will not want to put someone else at risk. If you have a problem being that honest, then I suggest some other wording to put people on notice, such as "barebacking ok", "few limits" etc. You may lose some clients but gain others.

Why do I get the feeling that initially you typed "tell" but then rewrote it as "ask"? :-)

[seaboy4hire]

Rod's reply to number 1 got me thinking. Are you asking the escort to bottom right when you get there or asking when first setting up an appointment. For myself even if I am asked to top I know how things can go and I sometimes get flipped so I make sure that I am ready just in case. Some guys might take that into consideration and might be thrown off.

Sometimes it means "bottoming will cost more".

I don't know why you got that feeling, because I don't "tell" (order) scorts around. I treat guys with respect and kindness, as I hope to be treated in return.

 

What I am referring to are the guys who use "versatile" in their ads, but then refuse to agree during the email or phone conversation to commit to bottoming. I get replies like "let's see what happens" or "don't worry, you will be happy at the end", which is just too cutesy for me. I am a top and I like to top, and the session is unsatisfactory to me if I don't have that experience. It's all about communication and honesty up front.

[rvwnsd]

I'm not an escort, but I am a non-versatile bottom, so I think I speak with some authority on the subject of committing to getting fucked in advance of a play date. Given the other use of that orifice, it is not unlikely that getting fucked could be uncomfortable or even painful depending upon what happens to be going on in the ol' digestive tract.

[Bart]

I too am a complete bottom and yes the digestive track can be a tricky thing at times. However, I totally disagree with your premise if you are an escort and that is part of the reason you are being hired than no excuse not to bring it up prior to the meeting. If you feel that the cleaning process is not going well, call the client and review it with him. If the client has expressed an interest to top, than client needs to know before meeting.

 

Seriously, if a guy has a problem getting up as a bottom I would be pissed and it has happened. This post is perfect in conjunction with the post from Michael Vincenzo about clients settling for less. Okay lets not settle for less. My deal if things are agreed upon in advance then both sides should live up to the deal.

 

I think this post is dead on for many points I would add, kissing as another area where escorts state they kiss and that vaires significantly from guy to guy. How about length of meeting is how ever many hours agreed to not until the client and escort gets off. Most of these issues are easily clarified with proper upfront communication but there are times when that is definitely not the case.

 

General rule of thumb, escorts never agree to anything unless you plan on fulfilling 100%, even if said "maybe go out afterwards for bite to eat." No you do not say that and then decide you dont have time. Never tell a client you will add something and not follow through. Clients remember that and can make a very good meeting end on an off note.
