Hi folks, I'm hoping for some constructive advice.
I'm starting out as a straight male escort/companion. I really am confused about it all. I don't know who are scams and who are genuine agencies etc, Iv registered on Gentlemen4hire, platinum select, male escort directory, and a couple of others. but i don't know who sees these. I keep getting calls from Escort resourcer? they want money, i have already paid gentlemen4hire and platinum select. Iv got Cavendish Knights(who look the best bet really) trying to recruit me.
 Am i flogging a dead horse, getting ripped off or is there and advice/ tips you can give me, I'm sure there is def a market for me, I'm really keen to get started.
Thanks guys any links to reputable sites would be a help too.

Thanks Amy, This does'nt fill me with excitement.  So maybe just stick with some free ads for now and hand no more money over. Really appreciate your help.

Ok Thanks

Hi everyone

I'm a male escort in London (bi curious but mainly straight, considering straight and gay for pay work). Anyone knows any good reputable agency in London for men? I'm guessing most of the work will be platonic companionship service for ladies? How about Cavendish Knights?

I see from reading this forum that most of you are indie but I'd rather try agencies first. Also I have a full time job in another industry so wouldn't want to be indie and advertise too heavily online in case colleagues found my face...

Really glad to be on this site, looks like a great resource.

I've already part-answered this in response to your post in the other thread, but you obviously haven't looked at it .

It's a toss up whether there is less work for 'non sexual' or 'companion' escorts (male or female) or straight male escorts, largely because the amount for either is so infinitessimal it can barely be measured and may as well be counted as zero. Anybody (like the good people at Cavendish Knights and the rest) who tells you otherwise wants to take your money and laugh at how gullible you are. They are scams, through and through and without exception.

I've merged your post with this thread purely because you mention straight male escorting, but if you're prepare to accept that your clients are going to be male just as the rest of ours are, then read the main SAAFE site first (most of the advice is gender neutral, and you can find out about tax, safety and security, health and so on) and decide how you want to proceed - there are a couple of threads on here about advertising for gay men and just as with us, if you don't want to show your face, don't.

Agency-wise, none as far as I know. You could try Googling to see if you can find any (look for places that are advertising to punters rather than to 'escorts'), but the problem is that as soon as you type in 'male' you'll just get all the scam ones popping up. This is also because there aren't any others.

I'll have a more thorough read at SAAFE tmrw. Thanks.  How about doing companionship for guys with perhaps "extras"? any legit agencies for this?

Alright thanks Amy. I'll read all the info on here properly.

I have a new idea: set up a male escort agency, ?50 upfront fee, that'll be lucrative ! Loool !!

Since this is a myth thread I'd also like to dispel a myth about 'business' men and 'business' women.

This name seems to be used to portray someone who'll be a particularly desireable client who wears a suit, has disposable income and is 'respectable' but gets lonely on business trips

My experience both in and out of sex work is that anyone in any trade or profession can be desireable clients. The rough hands on engineer can have more disposable income than a bloke in a suit clutching a mobile phone and ipad. I've lost count of the number of times I've been told "I run a business employing so many employees" for the bloke to go to be less reliable than someone who works in a hands on, or manual job. Just as many 'professional' men can be bad or good clients as anyone who isn't.

People can be right at the top of a business which is in trouble and not be paying themselves, be up to their ears in debt.

For some reason over the years the term businessman has come to represent respectability, yet anyone involved in the 'business' world will know how much deception and lies, smoke and mirrors goes on in many business meetings.

So there!

i have been lucky enough to have rather well off clients, and really nice personality wise AND no trouble at all! (no jazzing up i promise) i am fairly new so thats probably why.

but i bet it is the builders who are the ones who become regulars and that's what i would like in all fairness, financially it would be better!! its all well and good a guy with everything but if they are only paying the same rate as anyone else and doesn't come back its only good for being able to say you had a good experience. im sure it will all come with time

i checked out crazy oz for straight male escorts. they do exist but who would want a male escort? surly even the most undesirable girl will have someone who would be with them so why would they have to pay for it?
