Hello, everyone! Thank you to everyone behind this site.  It is amazing.  Interested in escort work (a man looking for women), but happy to be a driver really.  This is a great site, and please keep up the good work.

Re a comment upthread:

"with aids being so prevalent amongst the gay community, my concerns are strengthened ever more by this."

- for what it's worth, HIV/AIDS is actually more in the increase in the heterosexual community than among men who have sex with men, and in my experience both personally and working as a male escort with other men, gay men have FAR more awareness of the dangers of disease transmission than straight men do! (For example, the number of men who want OWO/CIM and to come inside your vagina or anus compared to how marginal and stigmatised the "barebacking" community is among gay men!  This is something you might want to be aware of and educated about - popular stereotypes (as sex workers of all kinds and genders know ) are not usually true!

Hi, I'm a new straight male escort with a question. I first advertised my services on 15/8/14 and have so far attracted one bi male.

What are your conversion rates for your adverts?

I've had about 183 views for 1 advert and 1 response. Is that a good rate?

Thank you for your time.

If you look at the percentage increase, yes, but in terms of absolute numbers, it's still overwhelmingly not a heterosexual thing in the UK: the large majority of the 'presumed infected via heterosexual sex' cases happened outside the UK, primarily in Africa.

Plus looking at such increases can be misleading: going from one to two is a rise of 100%, where as going from ten thousand to fifteen thousand is 'just' a 50% rise. The latter one's risen rather more though.

I'd raise one eyebrow at the idea barebacking is marginal or not stigmatised in the gay community too. The last UK 'Gay Men's Sex Survey' I have to hand (reported in 2010, work done in 2008) had about 55% of the men who had had anal intercourse in the previous year doing it without a condom at least once.

xw5 - if it's the survey I'm thinking of, it included men in relationships (so men who are fluid-bonded) - my boyfriend and I routinely have sex without condoms with one another, just not with other people!  Compared to the number of different-sex couples I know who have intercourse without barriers because "I'm on the pill" or similar, I'd say there's *definitely* a discrepancy!  It may be a matter of moving in different circles, though....

I know its has been said many times but I came across this one [removed - please don't post links here]. He is from Belgium and has a paid add on one of the popular site which costs oer 120 for two weeks. I don't know his prices but seems that he get's some business, even to pay those adds. He does also couples and seems to give massages, more concentrate on this one, than sex but seems to do sex too. So, if anyone is aiming for women then should go this direction rather than showing a hard cock. If I was a single bussinesswoman I would use his service if he would do very good massage.

Once I was in Poland in a private massage from a man from newspaper and it go really hot but we didn't have sex. I paid the same rate as for an hour sex with a prossie but that was obviuosly massage concentrate only, as I love very hard massage, can't find anything like that in normal women given massage.

I would actually paid for somethig like this. I often get problem with muscles, and the therapist is expensive and very short. Good hard man's hands are valuable!




_{[Edited again - we DO NOT discuss other providers here and general points can be made without naming names]}

I got an email through adult work, just had to share it:

'escort to escort?

I have been here long time and have only one review.  We could have fun together and leave each other good feedback and field reports?

Let me know'

So I checked out the profile and sure enough, it's a guy offering services to women.  I can't decide if he's a poor misguided soul who thinks only having one feedback is the reason he's not getting any bookings, or if he's a guy looking for a way to get free sex, or a bit of both!

I responded nicely and referred him here just in case it's the former.  But whatever next!  A good feedback isn't worth anywhere near my hourly rate to me!

Find a female provider who started around the same date and see how many views her profile is showing. I'll bet it's quite a few more.
