It's an honor just to be nominated.

The review portion of the Hooboy site was great, way ahead of its time. I remember reading it almost every day to see who was "Coverboy." It's there I discovered Benjamin Nicholas and fell in lust. It's no secret, I have a thing for handsome, healthy, lean blonds who possess a sexy, adorable, delicious ass. When I first visited Hooboy's Message Center, I was horrified. The place SCREAMED of hate. It took me many years before I acquired the gumption to join, and the only reason I joined was to fight back the vitriol that was being hurled at Benjamin Nicholas on an almost daily basis. Then my agenda slowly changed. He shuts down potential shitstorms much sooner than he ever did. He gives warnings to members when their treading too close to his line. After a fair amount of time and tolerance, he doesn't hesitate to put someone on Time Out. If you accumulate too many TOs, he doesn't hesitate to ban. He currently will ban an escort if the escort pushes him over his limit. I think all of this is progress, and it makes his forum a much more civil and enjoyable read. On the other hand, he has always played favorites, and I'm confident that spills over to the review site. I've done the research, and I know the behind-the-scenes on review "verification." Here's the ugly truth: Without exposing the identity of the customer, it's very difficult to verify a review. Too many customers want to remain anonymous, and they don't want the escort to remember or figure out which customer wrote the review, especially if the review is critical in any way. So I'm a bit dubious about any "service" review section, similar to how I feel about Yelp. The only way to make it work within reason is to promote the writing of reviews among customers in order to accumulate as many reviews as you can. The more the merrier. After a buildup, the process becomes a percentages game that benefits everyone. However, if escorts don't love your website, if they don't feel they'll be treated fairly by the owner and/or its members, if they feel the owner enjoys troll-speech too much, the escort is very unlikely to support your effort and ask customers to write reviews for your site. This is a delicate dance of trust and more trust. Trust requires work. You simply can't phone it in from a vacation spot. Again, actions speak much louder than any words in the TOS or COMITY AGREEMENT.

Or the chemical scent of acrylic nail glue. The low-rent salons where she works all smell like glue-sniffing factories. Much more toxic than Aqua Net.

None of you clowns have me on ignore, and you all must be sniffing something if you think I will let any of you Morons come for me and NOT respond. I see none of you play like that and neither do I. To be clear RH, since I see the prospect of revealing your REAL self to the members scares the shit out of you, the pic I was forwarded was NOT a web pic. It was a candid pic of you taken by someone supposedly in your inner circle who apparently had an ax to grind and wanted people to see you were NOT the hot shot stunner you claimed to be. Sorry for your lot in life. There's always Jenny Craig, or you could support Oprah on Weight Watchers. I also do not approve of Mr Oz crediting the creation of this thread to me, when its simply my first post to an original thread he created that these Troll-hating TROLLS forced to be separated because on their ongoing, repetitive and boring Crusade. While I respect his stance on censorship, creating this "spin-off" thread and attributing it to me was a MISSTEP. If anything Mr Oz, this thread should have been credited to RH, since HE was the one that raised the issue of cocksucking AND Trolls to which I merely replied. These troll-hating TROLLS have no creativity, and what they believe are their "contributions" to the site are no such thing, rather than another attempt to shine the light on themselves. A post on the size of HIS cock ? Really,? That made the site a better place. Self-importance is the only reason any of them came back, and its like illness: you contract one disease and several others pop up..... Their belief that THIS savior bullshit they bring to the site is good for it is ludicrous. And just to clear, MY viewpoint on cock size is that a BIG COCK, when its attached to a BIG PRICK is more than distasteful and I wouldnt have it. I have always been open and 100% honest in my posts about WHO and WHAT I am, I am NOT a hairdresser, and find nothing wrong with that profession although their usage of it was meant to be a slur. Sickening and stereotypical, and that catty, gay-bash shit only brings out their followers like Jimboi, who do nothing more but lurk around and then attach themselves to the bashing band wagon. Bottom-feeders..... These people are like the Donald Trump followers. Sorry Mr citilaw, I got your name wrong. Oops, I dont care, its not the issue here. The fact that you hire boys does not alone make you good, right, or any more worthy to be on this site than I. Other than dropping your dollars to support our youth, what have you actually brought HERE ? NADA......yet I still dont feel you need to be Banned. I suppose for as long as this thread will remain OPEN, you guys will continue to add your shit to it, which in turn will make me reply. Its your game, i'll play. If that's your site legacy, i'll help you with that.

That's precisely what TROLLS do. Suggest = LIES. If you read the psychology behind trolling, this one is a CLASSIC. The ignorant stupidity of this one is beyond the pale, though, and I have no problem exposing this TROLL for what she truly is: a D-class hairdresser working at SuperCuts, who has a mouth that doesn't quit until an excessively large cock blocks air from entering. The mere notion, considering my business, and my knowledge and experience with the internet, that I would somehow play fast and loose with photos of myself is laughable. Given what I know about code writing, digital signatures, and security, I sincerely doubt there's ever been a forum member better insulated from a TROLL threat. That loud-mouthed BITCH may have a lot of photos to entertain fellow members (a ploy to stay popular), but I know for a fact, none of her photos are of me. You're right citylaw, I have a fierce set of balls and I can handle this BITCH-TROLL's lies, but what potential new member, what escort - looking for community support, camaraderie, or more business, wants to come face-to-face with this shit-filled hole? Here's the problem: The TROLL behavior never ends until someone in authority ends it. Most TROLLS are addicted to TROLL behavior, and the owner of this site seems to enjoy these antics. If Oz truly wants to improve his board and attract new participants, he's going to have to recognize and strongly consider the current success of the "other site" and do something similar in execution. The conversations at the "other site" have never been more diverse, collegial, and informative, and the current level of comity is impressive. For goodness sakes, the members raised a substantial amount of money to help a fellow member dealing with a health crisis, and the owner of the site spearheaded the effort. I don't know how any of you define "community," but this is serious progress compared to the meltdown years of the Hooboy era. On a positive note, I do want to congratulate Oz for deleting a current controversial thread. I know there is a contingent of gay men who want no moderation whatsoever, but I venture to guess they've never run a successful service business, or any business of any kind. When push comes to shove, someone has to lead, and I'm very glad Oz chose to lead in this instance. I hope he does more of the same moving forward.

citilaw, save the drama for your mama. Maybe you like to deal with shady, sketchy people, but I dont. Look at the bright side, I could have posted the pic, but I didnt, so I am allowing RH to carry on with his charade. I think your type of post is detrimental, noone wants to read long winded WHINY posts from self-proclaimed "know it alls". So here we are, You with your opinion and me with mine, yet I would never suggest to Ban you. All opinions should be welcome. If you want a selective, tailor-made site, GO START ONE and then you can BAN me from it. No other the other hand, I would never join it. Your TYPE doesnt float my boat. When assholes call for a person to be Banned, they are NEVER thinking of the good of the cause. They are simply thinking about their OWN comfort level. Whether or not you are comfortable here is no concern of mine. My posts are to inform and entertain the board, If you dont find them either of those things, you know what you can do. It's funny that you, RH and JD all say you IGNORE my posts, yet everytime I post, there is some rebuttal from one of you. So either you are ALL liars, or your just cant get enough of me. (AND you are all liars) ... Dont worry girls, there's plenty of me to go around. And calling a persons posts "rants" when yours is such above strikes me as highly hypocritical. THINK before you talk girl.

This is precisely the type of shit that hinders the growth of a good message board and site. If we are looking for escorts, and those of us that hire them, to participate here, the mere suggestion of outing people's personal information is not only off-putting, it's detrimental to the board itself. Looking for escort participation on here is a great way to improve this board, and your veiled threats of exposure go against the very mission. I'm communicating with an escort for an upcoming trip; I now know his real name and birth date (required for airfare), therefore I have looked at his Facebook, Instagram, etc. This is the delicate dance that is played between escorts and clients - a dance of slowly releasing certain information, especially where a trip is involved. If this escort goes on here and reads this shit, do you suppose that he would be more, or less likely to participate in this environment? Are you the kind of guy that would post his pic, social profiles, and call his family? If I owned this site I would ban you from it - for this post only. Your thousands of boring and argumentative rants can be ignored, like I routinely do, but this type of stuff is bad for business. You're on an escort site, don't hire escorts, never travel, and, in my recollection, have never offered any type of useful advice to the participants here that claim to have a common interest in escorts. I belong to a Yankee fan group, and I never go on there to discuss escorts, just like I don't go to Lugers and order fish.

That I might consider!

Yes that is Junior, he is from Porto Alegre and is competitive body builder. He no longer works in the saunas but in the past could be found at Mezziniu occasionally and Lagoa, That photo is from the winter before last and I think a "benefactor" took him for a month's trip to Europe!

Let me start this by saying that I haven't hired escorts in SoCal since about 2004. Part of the reason is I had started going to Brazil 4 times a year in 2002, and I was dating on and off where I lived, so limited my hiring escorts to where I traveled for business, which fortunately for me was NYC, Miami, London and Honolulu with Prague and Barcelona thrown in a few times! I visited a city in Mexico where a friend of mine lived and he put a Grindr profile in Spanish for me on there because he said all the guys in town where on Grindr. It worked well but when I got back to the U.S. I forgot about it. In March I went to Brazil and then in April I was at home and saw the app and clicked on it! It was AMAZING! within about 10 minutes of getting on I had about 10 guys messaging me and my profile was still in Spanish but I used a dollar sign in place of One of the last S's in the profile. This is important because Grindr looks for profiles selling or buying sex and will make you make a new profile if they see it. but the one $ at the end of the profile doesn't seem to get their attention. Now here is where it is better to be outside a large city! I live in the OC where there is a Cal State campus near me as well as several other colleges and the guys responding were students, and definitely not professionals! I would ask them how much and they would say "i don't know, would $50. be too much?" They also wanted to see my photo, which I never had a professional escort ask for! But on Grindr you can keep you photos hidden and open them for each individual person. So the first 3 sessions with 3 different guys were $40. and $50 and $50. the next week I did two other guys and have to say after a little shyness on their parts, it was really fun! Two of the guys in particular I really liked so called them the following week(separately)and asked if they wanted to go out on a date? the first guy is 21 and the other Is 23. All of the guys I met except two lived at home with their families! So usually I picked them up a block down from their houses! But the first guy I asked out always had me pick him up in the driveway of his house! So as of this week I have been on 5 dates with the one and 6 with the other and they are really opposite type guys but I like them both....however, I told the one last night that we could see each other socially but no more dates! I have found out that while it is really fun to have sex with younger guys and I am going to keep on doing that and keep using Grindr, it is a whole nother thing to be dating them and you soon realize they are in a different area of their lives then you are with yours and I can only feign interest so long in what they find is exciting in their lives latest rave they are going to, or what their professor is saying or their fights with their parents, etc. When I talk to my friends that live within the limits of a big city they say that the prices asked are always in the $150-250 range. or higher. So being outside a large city but close to colleges is a definite advantage!

Now we need to get these guys tomcal hires to post here!

Good luck, Oz. I know that your intentions are good. Young people rarely hire. They usually don't need to, or can't afford it if they do. So it's the young escorts who can bring youth to these boards. I'd give them free advertising and possible assistance with their pictures. I think, the more escorts, the more posters. Why not reward those who post interesting- and accurate- reviews? They could be made eligible for a raffle to win a prize, such as dinner with an escort. (They'd have to pay for any extras!) Or they could win signed pictures of hot porn stars, a Boytoy pass for a free drink in Bangkok- whatever rewards wouldn't cost the site an arm and a leg. I am sure that everyone has an idea. Finally, though, the message boards need interesting posts, conversations, and leaders. Some, like Tomcal, know how to brighten a bar. Are there those who know how to brighten a message board? Let's seek them out. And, I hate to say it, but something has to be done to encourage members to be on their best behavior. People can muzzle themselves, you know, but some might need assistance.
