Troubles With Finding an Escort in Eastern Masschusetts

[Guest Yog-Sothoth]

A review I wrote about my experience with Marco in Boston, MA is currently listed under "Newest Reviews" for Friday, 7/21/00. (Let me be clear in saying at the start my review was NOT negative about Marco.)

 

If you want to know the details, you should read my review. I am really not up to repeating them here. Simple to say, I am having problems finding an escort, and the problem seems to be me as a client.

 

I took the best approach I know, which is writing a fairly detailed email about who I am, what I am looking for, and my situation, being honest and upfront about everything.

 

I have emailed about 4-5 escorts now in Boston, in other parts of Massachusetts, and even in Rhode Island, and have not gotten replies. I tried emailing them a 2nd time after a week or so, and still did not get any replies.

 

I tried calling 2-3 other escorts as well, ones who I cannot find an email address for, but that has not worked out either.

 

I cannot take calls at home. I do have a voice mail and asked for the escorts to call and leave either an email address (so I could send my email message) or ask them if it would be OK to try to reach them directly when I can to talk usually weekend late-mornings.

 

I tried escorts listed here, at a LOT of other websites, ones suggested in the Message Board here, and folks mentioned in the Boston gay newspaper IN NEWSWEEKLY. I did a LOT of research to find escorts and I did find a lot. (Along the way, I found the "Escort Etiquette" article which I suggested to HooBoy he include here. I wanted to make a good first impression with my escort.)

 

The things is, I have now run out of escorts who fit what I am looking for (which is vanilla sex with a somewhat agressive bottom). I have tried contacting them without success.

 

So, at this point, I am at a lost as to what I can do next. Anyone have any suggestions?

 

Thanks.

[Guest Tampa Yankee]

Yog,

 

Please clue me in on the source of you handle -- I feel I should know but sadly, I am at a loss.

 

Regarding the Boston area for agressive bottoms, I an no authority, but I fear you have already tried the best with Marco. The others appear to be twinks, for the most part. Now there do appear to be some hot tops around but that's another story.

[Guest Yog-Sothoth]

Yes, the handle is from the writings of H.P. Lovecraft. I'm a big, big reader of Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror.

 

I was really, really hoping for some help or suggestions about FINDING an escort. Gees, I haven't had sex in 7 years and I cannot even find someone to PAID to have sex with. I am not a troll, I just an average guy and a really NICE guy and it's just getting me even more f*cking depressed.

 

I don't have a hell of a lot of money; my meeting with Marco was after a number of months of saving. I keep reading all these reviews here of escorts in other places who I cannot afford, or who I could afford, but not if I had to pay for them to travel to Boston.

 

And, -now-, this message is getting lost among repeats of other messages and pushed farther down the list, disappearing away. I am likely the last person now who will even read this thread.

 

CANNOT SOMEONE SUGGEST SOMETHING TO HELP ME???

 

:-( :-( :-(

[Guest Midnight Cowboy]

If no one has a particularly terrific escort in mind who happens to live in your region, I'm not sure what it is anyone here might be able to help you with. In your review of Marco, you seem to have answered your own question about what you're doing wrong in terms of approaching an escort: it might be too much for an escort to deal with. I'd be the first to say great sex can have a theraputic aspect and top-notch escorts understand that very well; nevertheless, even if you're hiring an escort to accompany you on a two-week vacation, you are still hiring an escort. Just based on what you've written, it sounds to me like you should consider hiring a therapist.

 

You're dealing with heavy-duty issues that would swamp anyone. A two-hour session with an escort is only going to be so helpful to you, even if it exceeds your highest hopes. "Depressed" is one of those terms we often toss around lightly, almost as a synonym for "sad." That can make it hard to remember that clinical depression is a serious medical condition. I don't mean to insinuate that you are clinically depressed, only that the kind of physical, mental, and emotional stress you're dealing with isn't likely to be alieviated by great sex with an escort. Personally, I'm terrible about going to doctors for check-ups and all that stuff we're supposed to do. "Wellness" is still a concept I haven't grasped. :-) So this piece of advice is in the time-honored tradition of the pot calling the kettle black: Seek medical help.

Jason is a very aggressive bottom with a great bod. He got a pic in In Newsweekly. I've also suggested Angel in another thread, also pictured in the same rag, altho he's more of a top.

 

Later.

I should have replied to this earlier, but I found Marco (who is very butch in appearance) passive (something he said to be later himself), or, at least, he was not as aggressive as I needed him to be.

 

I do find "twinks" very attractive and also appealing. But while I am looking for an escort who will bottom, given my years without sex, I do need someone who will take a much more -active- role with me in bed.

 

At this point, I have basically given up any hope of finding anyone in the Boston area anytime soon (and I have checking this listings for escorts in all of Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island as well) and am just going to wait another 6 months or a year for some new guys to take-up escorting somewhere around here.

Yog,

 

Before throwing in the towel, I recommend you consider Traveler's suggestion -- he enjoys a reputation for being very knowledgeable with excellent taste. His recommendation is more than good enough for me and for most others I would think. Given your history and your alternatives, seems worth the effort -- just a thought.

 

 

As for NH or RI for what your looking for, your sooner to find it falling out of the sky -- I would think. Any hot bottoms respond and prove me wrong.

 

Oh, there is one other alternative that occurs to me -- don't know why I didn't think of it before. Brandon Best of NJ travels regularly to Boston. I can't say definitely that he's right for you but he rings my bell. He has several good reviews here and there is one from me pending.

 

Contact Jason and Brandon tell them what you want and pick the better choice as you see it. Life is a gamble but you have to play to win. Sitting on the sidelines for another six months or a year just runs the clock out without any points put up on the board.

[Guest Yog-Sothoth]

Traveller,

 

>Jason is a very aggressive bottom

>with a great bod.

>He's got a pic in In Newsweekly.

 

 

In my original post, I mentioned I tried calling some of the escorts listed in IN NEWSWEEKLY. I remember when someone else asked here about other Boston escorts (those not reviewed here), you or someone else mentioned Jason.

 

He was one of the escorts I called and left a message with and never got returned call. :-(

(Gees, I am using a lot of :-( in my posts.)

 

Now, I did say it was difficult to reach me at my phone number, I do have a voice mail box that is the -best- way to reach me by phone, and I asked him either for an email address where I might write -- or to leave a general time when I might be able to reach him directly to talk.

 

But, as I said, he never responded. I know I had to leave about two messages in a row on his answering machine to explain this. Maybe the whole thing was just to complicated or some breach of client manners.

 

I think I tried calling a 2nd time, still without getting a message left on my voice mail.

 

Would a 3rd time calling be too desperate? Not that I mind, since I am.

Tampa Yankee--

 

Sorry I didn't reply sooner to this.

Brandon Best was another escort I tried to contact. I email him and never got a reply.

I don't know if I tired emailing him a 2nd time or not. As I said in an early message, I had kinda given up trying at the point.

 

 

>Contact Jason and Brandon tell them what you >want and pick the better choice as you

>see it.

 

 

Well, I never got a choice because either replied.

 

 

>Life is a gamble but you have to play to win.

 

 

Seems I've lost.

 

 

>Sitting on the sidelines for another six months

>or a year just runs the clock out without any

>points put up on the board.

 

 

I tried coming here because I had tried everything I could think of. And, thanks for your folks efforts, but the two best suggestions I got, Jason and Brandon, I had attempted and never got a respond.

 

I sent out email to another escort a short time ago, someone whose listing recently appeared on

escorts4you.com, and I am begin to feel I am not going to get a reply for him either. It would be nice if I was wrong, though.

 

Gees, what a depressing thread I've created.

Jason's number is a cell. Try him after 5 pm any school night until you reach him. He is extremely accessible (as well as a VGL, agile, flexible and fantastic bottom).

 

Angel's number automatically goes into a message service. He is extremely unaccessible (but a VGL, tall, Latino top who's worth the bother).

 

Later.

 

PS. A third or more often call is never desperate unless your voice is cracking as you're sobbing hysterically into the phone and screaming "Make mama stink."

Okay, I will give it a try later in the week and let you know what happens. I guess I can use the line "You were suggested to me by one of your clients" to help get a discussion going.

Well, I do tend to sound rather down after work nowadays. And I don't think I have every screamed "Make mama stink". I don't even KNOW what that means, and The Vanilla Guy I am, I think I would like to keep it that way. :-) (There: a happy face for a change!)

Michael (aka Midnight Cowboy),

 

Again, something I should have answered a while back.

Believe me, I am aware of this. :-)

 

 

>A two-hour

>session with an escort is

>only going to be so

>helpful to you, even if

>it exceeds your highest hopes.

 

 

I do understand this. I don't have any lofty expectations for a meeting with an escort. I am just looking to have a pleasant time and a little fun (for both of us).

 

 

>So this piece of advice is

>in the time-honored tradition of

Michael, I have been and am under medical treatment for depression for sometime now. And, yes, I know what it and medications can do to one's sex drive. (One of the meds I am taking can cause "painful erections" -- ouch!) But, even with being down and my meds, I find I -do- still have a sex drive. Which is why I am looking for an escort, as other options don't seem open to me.

 

Thanks much for your concern, Michael. And take care of yourself, too.

Hi, Brandon,

 

 

>Sorry, but I don't recall getting

I checked and found the message; I sent it on July 11th. I read somewhere here you were going to be in Boston the following week. I did say in my email I wasn't looking to set up a meeting with you then, but may in a month or two, when you came back. Maybe that is why you didn't deal with it then.

 

 

>Why don't you try again? I'm

That's the address I used. I will send the original message to you again.

Thank you.

I've just read your review of Marco and it seems he should be applauded for both his concern, interest and efforts. This indeed must be a special person.

 

While you are consulting medical experts about your depression and self-absorbing problems, ask about VIAGARA, as it seems created with you in mind.

 

Good Luck!

He is. I had a "date" with Marco a couple of days after this review appeared. He is sexy, funny, intelligent, a good conversationalist, totally hot and a hell of a good lay. The full review is, as they say, "in the mail."

So folks here know, I -did- get a reply from Brandon to my email this time. (Actually, 3 copies of the same message!) He said he would let me know when he will be in the Boston-area again.

 

Meantime, I found a new web listing for a Boston-area escort who I am in touch with by email; this guy did reply. Not sure if it will go anywhere, but at least we are in contact.

I've been looking in INNewsweekly and can't find any ad, either text or photo, for Jason. What's the story? Is the ad you're talking about in the regular Escorts section? Can you post a url or a phone number for him?

[Guest Yog-Sothoth]

TOPIC DRIFT: Number of Escorts VS. Number of Listings

 

Yes, I am changing the direction of the topic of my original post.

 

I've mentioned the problems I had with finding an escort in Eastern Massachusetts. Now, with regards to -this- site -and- its users, I've wondered something.

 

How come the number of escorts reviewed here (at least in the Massachusetts area) seems limited to about 12 escorts? Where IS everyone else?

 

I did quite a lot of research when I started escort-hunting. (Something which always seems to be In Season. :-)) I checked many different websites, sites such as http://www.escorts4you and http://www.americanmale.net, as well as newpapers like New England's IN NEWSWEEKLY. I have found listings for another 20 escorts who aren't reviewed here.

 

No blame on HooBoy for this! He can only post the reviews he gets.

 

However, is there a kind of vicious circle to male4malescorts.com, where the reader-clients here tend to use the escorts reviewed here and not other or new guys, and this leads to an in-group of escorts and listings created by clients themselves?

 

This is, of course, not to say new escorts aren't reviewed here: you see them pop-up on the Newest Listings with one review by their name. But I think since I have been reading this site, for about 6 months now, I have seen only -one- listing for a -new- escort in the New England area appear.

 

Men are likely seeing the other escorts not reviewed here. Of course, one reason why they aren't reviewed here is simply that their clients never use this site.

 

But, well, I do wonder if there are folks reading this who might not be using some of those other escorts and not posting here.

 

Maybe some of you just don't want to share the WONderful escort you have found with the rest of us. :-) Or maybe some folks reading this site but not posting to it, the lurkers, don't want to sign up so they can make their own comments, for whatever reason. (Perhaps they feel they just don't -write- well enough to do a review.)

 

Do many clients here -try- a new escort when they encounter a new escort listing, when they find one at another website or in a newly published newspaper -- or do you stay with escort you found you like and who you have met several times already?

 

Are clients here into *gasp!* monogamy with their escorts? :o

 

Inquiring minds want to know...

RE: TOPIC DRIFT: Number of Escorts VS. Number of Listings

 

Yog,

 

Seems to me like you've pretty much covered the waterfront here with your thoughful question and are really looking for confirmation on your many conjectures -- which all seem quite plausible to me.

 

There is a strong procilivity to go with the 'tried and true' rather than gamble on the unknown -- thank god there are a few gamblers out there. And to a lesser extent, some of us more conservative types may be prone to gamble on the rare occasion.

 

Then there are those that just don't record every encounter for whatever reason. Many of these are really wasted opportunities to inform the community -- too bad. :-(

 

Then there is the shy client who wants to avoid the 'high profile' of a reviewer, such as it is. I remember facing this decision when I thought about submitting my first review. I was mighty reluctant,then I thought how helpful to me the reviews I had found had been. So I decided that if I expect to reap the benefits of the reviews I had better submit some for pay back purposes. We can't have our cake and eat it too. We either help the system work or help it fail -- the choice is ours. :-)

LAST EDITED ON Aug-21-00 AT 09:57AM (EST)[p]Allright, I gave you Jason as a recommendation. Damn good bottom, huh? He said his biz increased quite a bit after my mention on this board. Here's another. Try Chad. Tall, lean, muscular, great looking and hung. He's also pictured in In news weekly.

 

Don't say I never gave you anything.

 

Later.

 

PS. And yes, Jason is in P-Town until mid-week. The boat cruise was big fun last Saturday for Carnival. Peter Pan and me.
