We are getting close to 300 escorts. Thank you for all your help with this. Our goal is 3,000 by year's end. We have a long way to go. But, we are off to a good start. Thank you! Oz

>I suspect, to challenge, support and/or defend >>statements of safer sex practices on this website, while at >>the same time promoting unsafe, bareback fucking on the >other. There are many ways to practice safe sex. Sexuality.org has a list of them. It is more than just bareback fucking. Some I just can't deal with, such as monogamy. Unprotected oral sex is also another area that many have a conflict with. That is also unsafe and yet not many discuss it as being unsafe. How many clients hire for repeats if an escort uses a condom to suck? I can tell you the answer to that, but you may already know. Personally, I am not a dildo person. I have never had one up my ass. I have no desire to do so. I don't eat ass. I consider someone that has a dildo shoved up his ass and then down this own mouth as something I would not do. I guess I consider it the same as I do unprotected oral sex. But, in this review you seem to love, I keep reading it over and over and it seems to me that he shoved his own dildo up his ass and then into his mouth. Is that correct? I guess that is a form of unsafe sex. Is also self sucking a form of unsafe sex? I saw this done recently by a guy I met. I guess each person has to determine where to draw the line on what they call unsafe sex. I have always thought that most agree that it is unprotected anal intercourse. >So Oz, where do you stand on truthfulness, when it comes >to >escort profiles and the information contained within >them? I want us all to be truthful. Both in profiles and in agendas. >P.S. Did you really not have sex with Danilo? Inquiring minds want to know. haha. I really did not have sex with him. He slept in my bed many nights and not even one touch. He is a special guy and I respect him and his boundaries. PS.. This thread is now one of the most popular on the site. I see that BN got the press again. As for me, I think I have answered about as much on this topic as I possibly can. I'll move on to other issues. Anyone see the pictures of Jared from Toronto? Hot. Oz

>Yes, Da...I mean Oz, sir. Thank you, sir. May I have >another? Reminds me of my college days. I had an initiation of sorts. I love it when someone speaks so pleasant and brings back such fond memories. Thank you! BTW: the guy's name who was doing the initiation was Clay. He was hot and sexy. I think of Italian decent. From NJ if I remember correctly. And had a nice cock that rose to the occasion when he took public showers. Such memories. Thank you!

>I will throw in a full year of free web hosting, plus platinum >status on the airline of your choice. And I will settle for a >3% and 5% commission agreement. How's that? }( Wait a minute here. Platinum status? That is unfair. Totally. How does one do this? Is there a trick to the trade? Inquiring minds want to know.

>I know Oz, I'm just teasin. :+ OM. See, there goes my senses again. And here I was making up a story about you, the hamster, 2 midgets, a giraffe, a bearded lady and a ballerina at the Neverland ranch. Shit, the story was getting good. OK. I'll stop the presses on that one. But, I will save it if you want me to use it in the future.

>Wrong again (trifecta, anyone?) OK BoN. For those of us that are years out of college and with limited vocabulary, what does trifecta mean? >Sweetheart, This is such an overused word. I know. I use it daily. When I first came out, I went home to my family and I had picked up with word with all my gay friends in NYC. I tried my best not to use that word or the word Dear around them. However, we were at Walmart and the cashier asked how I was doing. I just, "fine dear, how are you?" The guy looked at me in disbelief. My family in horror. I just smiled. Those words are so often used with great comfort amoung my gay friends. I often forget the world isn't as gay as I am. Or, as friendly. Or, at least as openly friendly about it. >you don't make the rules here. I do. Be nice. >If you need a >litter box to piss in, I am sure you have several overflowing >at home. Again, be nice. I did laugh at this one till I almost pissed in my pants. But, again, be nice.

The total members is the total number of registered members who are not escorts. New members is the number of members who have registered this week. Members online is the number of members who are logged into the site and not idle for too long as to be logged out. Guests online are supposed to be total number of visitors on the site. I think it is currently the number of people in the forum boards and on the homepage. Hits today are the number of hits made to the homepage. There seem to be many of them right? It is because we advertise on the Internet and we are actually getting quiet a bit of traffic. We are not getting as much traffic as I would like. But, we have just started our ads in Next Magazine in NYC and on a few internet websites. Over the course of the next month or two, we want to see these numbers increase. Total number of escort Profiles are the total number of escort profiles that are approved and active on the website. When we get more reviews, we will place that number there as well. This is the way the numbers area is suppose to work. We have had other issues with the site that we have concentrated on. We will work on that area in the future. If you have any other suggestions, please let us know. Thanks. Oz

A few thoughts 1. Jesse, don’t worry about the press, you are smart, witty and active on the message board without causing too much controversy. You will do just fine. Plus, you are cute as hell. 2. I have to agree with ArVaGuy’s post #13 in its entirely. His sentiments expresses my feelings exactly. 3. I have never made one penny from Ben. I have never given him any money. I am not a client. I will never hire him. He is not my type. (Even though sometimes I go against the “my type” rule and I tried with Ben once when he came to NYC and wanted to hire him for 2 hours. He politely turned me down as he was only taking overnights on that trip.) That being said, I have met him on two occasions. Once with Hooboy in Las Vegas and I was attending the adult Webmaster’s convention there and Hooboy asked me to fly in and spend some time with him. I only met Ben for lunch one day and he was charming. And once in Rio when Ben was with a client. I had read many things about Ben on the Internet. Many of the good but most of the bad. I met Ben and his date for lunch and later at LeBoy. I have hired many escorts over the course of the years and I have a lot of experience with escort/client relations. I have said the same thing about Ben to my friends, many of whom do not like him. He is without a doubt one of the best professionals out there. I watched him interact with his client. He put the client first in everything, made him the center of his universe and made sure he knew the client was his only focus. I was not just a little impressed. I was very impressed. I can see why Ben keeps his clients. He was and is top notch in his field. 4. I don’t like all the things he says on his blog. I think some of the things he posts are often inappropriate. But, I will say this. He knows what he is doing. Every time one of his posts get the responses on the message boards that it does, he has to be laughing. He understands that many will hire him one time just to see what all the controversy is about. Once they do, he has them hooked. In my opinion, he is a brilliant businessman. No bad press is bad business for him. You can bitch and complain about him all you want. I think he may perhaps thrive on this. Why? In the end, every negative post that is made, brings him more cash. Isn’t that the point of his blog? Isn’t that what he is in business for? I personally know of 2 clients that hired him only because of the controversies they read about online. In both instances, they went back for repeats and will do so again in the future. 5. I find it interesting that he has not written to me to ask that I take down this post. Many accuse him of that with other boards. As I said above, I don’t think he gives a shit what any of us say. He has a good business. He is good at what he does. He knows how to advertise himself and he knows how to market himself. If he reads this post about him on this board, I think he just smiles and says here we go again. Not here we go again, how do I get this post off the Internet. But, here we go again. How do I keep up with all the new clients I will get? Good job Ben. You did it again.

This is issue with browser. We are using font style through CSS and IE not change font size of all text which styles comes from CSS. I am able to change them on my comnputer as I use an Apple and other things beyond IE. I hope this helps answer your question. Sory it took us so long to find the exact answer from the programmers. Oz

Haha. I am so glad you are headed back down there. I always say it is a true paradise. I really do enjoy my time I spend there. I am sure you will have a blast. While in LaGoa if you are into twink muscle boys, (yes, it is possible) let me know. I have a gem for you!

I think I am the fist half of May. I have not heard of gay pride there. Have you heard anything about it? It is a big event? I would love to know more. Thanks.

hehe. No, this is what we need to know. There is a log in on the top menu bar underneath the words MaleEscortReview.com I always log in there and then go to the forums. I have always been able to post using Safari, Firefox, Netscape and IE. When I have tried to post and was not logged in, it does the same thing as you mentioned. The reason is that you are not just logging into the forum, you are also logging into the site. Eventually, this will also log you into the Chat and IM. The goal was to have a single login for the entire site. Thanks for the feedback.

Chuck, When you post a review are you in IE or using AOL? Are there any messages you are given? What version of both do you use? What OS do you have? Thanks.

Hooboy did something that no one had done before. He cleared the way for open communication between clients and escorts. Everyone benefited. It was a win-win situation for all. His contribution to this segment of the gay population cannot be undervalued. He did something amazing. He was a pioneer. The community misses him, as he was the one that held the M4M site together. He is also missed among those of us that were personal friends. He was unique, witty, odd, and spontaneous and kept everyone around him guessing as to what he would do next. I sent a photo to his family last year that his lover Foxy took on a boat trip that the 3 of us were on in Thailand. Hoo insisted that he rent a speedboat and spend the day on an island outside of Pattaya. I agreed. As the waves were high and the boat was jumping over them, he got up on the very top of the boat with his arms over his head and his knees on bouncing from the boat and the waves and yelling, "I am king of the world." I was yelling for him to please get down as I was nervous for him and did not want him to fall into the ocean and get hurt. He finally got down, gave a sly smile that said, "You only live once." I was a little antsy on the island as he made me nervous. He sensed my tension. When it was time to leave, he started walking into the water to go to the boat and intentionally fell into the water to put on a show for me and make me laugh. I did. But, he had forgotten that his new cell phone was in his pocket. His mind was not on his phone. He wanted to keep the party going. He wanted to make me laugh. He did make me laugh. (BTW: he brought along his florist on the boat trip as he thought I would be attracted to him. He kept his room filled with flowers and smelling wonderful.) He lived his life the way he wanted. He let no one interfere with his pleasure. Even when pressured to make changes, he stood the course he desired. He did that in his life and with his business. He is missed.

>I just have to say that this is the sweetest and most >beautiful thread I have ever read on any escorting board. >Congrats on finding something real and genuine! Love can be >found in the most unexpected of places. Thank you Jesse, your post was very sweet and MUCH appreciated! I did find him real and genuine. I also found him to be married. Ooops. I am sure I will get more than just a few I TOLD YOU SO Oz. But, for what it is worth, I loved every minute I spent with him. I will spend more in the future. I won't plan my future around him. But, as always, I learned a great lesson. If you have never read my signature, here is it again. I live it each day! Oz ---Life is here, life is now. Life is soooo short... and sex is just too delicious! Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Champagne and Strawberries in one hand, Diet Coke and Godiva Chocolate in the other, a personal bottle of Eros, A BOX OF TROJAN MAGNUMS, and a good Cuban cigar in the your pockets (ALL partially used), a wallet ALMOST empty of currency but noticeably used from the rainbow colors of THE SEVERAL bills THAT REMAIN from a multitude of countries and cards charged to the max from the joys of life, body thoroughly used up, OLD AS TIME ITSELF, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO - what a ride!---

I had a fabulous time at Carnival. I loved every minute of it. I have some great tidbits to share and some good information on Rio and Sao Paulo. I got back from the Scala Gay event and got a call from a friend that my boyfriend had a motorcycle accident and was in the hospital. I had to make fast arrangements and get back to take care of him. No seats were left on flights out of Rio as Carnival just ended so I had to taxi to Sao Paulo and go on standby. It has been a long 48 hours. I hope to be back to Brazil very soon. However, I have to recoup from the trip I just made and then I will take some time and write down all the details of the trip as well as share some photos from Carnival. Thanks for your patience! Oz

Anxiously awaiting him today. He gets off work for 3 days for Carnival. We have tickets to the parade on Monday and to Scala Gay on Tuesday. I'll be taking my "puppy doggish" eyes guy and my favorite guy from 117. If I don't post much in the next few days, you will know the puppy dog eyes won me over. AGAIN! Oz Go Yankees! http://images.dpchallenge.com/images_portf...eview/45435.jpg http://www.ocfiles.com/dimages/oc_images/p...yes_398x271.jpg

I read about that experience before and have been very cautious ever since. I am sorry that happened to you. I know the breach of trust is hard to overcome. I'll add one more suggestion, always make sure that when you offer a sauna boy a drink, that you get the drink for him instead of giving him your number. Yesterday, I had a guy at 117 that I offered a drink and he got one. I didn't know that it was a triple with a red bull attached. Oh, well, live and learn.

I do agree with you on the Taxis. I use my hotel's car service most of the time. I always tip the driver. When I use a public taxi, it really depends on if he used the air conditioner, drove like a maniac or was the taxi driver from hell.

This is what is needed after a hard workout. http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5625/12...ot_escrime3.jpg

1. Don’t carry you passport with you. Once you get to your hotel, have them make a copy for you and carry that with you. That is sufficient should you need it while you are away from the hotel and if you lost the original, it is a true pain in the ass. 2. Avoid using cash machines outside of banks and malls. I had one bad experience with this last year. Now, I use the ATM in my hotel or exchange my money at the banks or exchange booths. 3. I avoid using my Credit Cards as much as possible other than my hotel or bank or ATM machine. Last year, after a shopping trip to a very upscale mall in Sao Paulo, I got back to the US only to have over 20k charged to my card. Needless to say, it was a pain in the ass to get it all straightened out. 4. Don’t take a lot of money with you. Plan your day, take only what you need. Take ONE ATM card if you need more. Leave the remainder in the safe in your hotel. 5. Don’t wear expensive watches or jewelry. Keep them in the safe in your hotel. These things get noticed by the wrong people very fast. 6. If you take a camera with you, keep it in a bag that is not obviously a camera bag. Keep it with you at all times. 7. When you go to the beach, only take what you need. Don’t take things that are not needed. Don’t leave your possession alone unattended. 8. When you are in a sauna, keep an eye on your locker and check back into that room occasionally. I don’t leave very valuable things in my locker. 9. When you take a boy into a cabin for a programa, when you shower, take your clothes with you. There are hooks in the bathrooms for these items and it is just a smart thing to do to keep your things with you at all times. 10. When you are at a bar or disco, don’t leave your drink unattended. Don’t accept drinks from others. When you get a drink, keep your hand over the top of it. This way, no one can put anything into the drink that will cause you to loose you common sense. 11. If you are into the street trade, don’t take someone from the street that one of your friends doesn’t know. Be very careful. A lot of the guys from the street are great fun but you should exercise caution. One thing that I learned on my first trip to Brazil is that I would not go with someone from outside of Curijina’s or anywhere unless someone knew the guy. I try to stick to this rule. 12. Most hotels won’t let you have a guest in your room unless they have a copy of their ID. This is a good thing and for your protection. Always make sure that your visitor has proper ID and when you get to your hotel, walk them over to the front desk to leave a copy of the ID as required. 13. If you are new to Brazil, don’t walk around at night unless you are accompanied. I suggest taking a taxi. It is very inexpensive to take taxis in Brazil and it may keep you safe. 14. All the saunas provide condom and lube to you. It is wise to use them here. The rate of HIV is high and you need to protect yourself. 15. Ask your hotel for suggestions on restaurants and venues. They know many good ones and they may help you to find something you have not heard mentioned before. 16. When you leave the sauna, see all the charges to you bill and make sure they are correct. 17. A few simple words in Portuguese is very helpful. If you have Itunes, download the Portuguese Language guide. It is quiet good and just listening to it on your plane ride down is useful. 18. I have a hotel taxi pick me up at the airport. I find it more comfortable for me as I arrive with my computers and cameras. 19. Brazil really is paradise. Have a great time. Be safe. Be smart.

Restaurants - Most include a service charge to the bill of 10-15%. If this is included, there is no need to leave more. Taxis- It is not necessary to pay any more than the exact value of the fare. Hotel Staff- Bellboy 5-10R, Doorman Valet 5-10R, Housekeeper 5-10R. I find that these people are the most important in the hotel. I also often find that tipping my housekeep daily that I end up with extra flowers, etc. that makes my stay more enjoyable. Sauna Boy - 20 R bare minimum if they are good. Remember that a Big and Tasty meal at McDonald's cost 13R. If a guy is VERY good, tip accordingly. I don't want to be accused again of destroying the Brazilian economy like I was last year, so I won't say my true feelings on this. If someone is amazing, tip him what you think the value is to you. Towel Boy - I often tip 5R for the towel boy and ask them to keep an eye on my locker. Bartender- If I go to a Disco, I will often leave a tip with the bartender of 5R. When I do this the first time, they always come straight to me when there is a huge crowd. It makes life easier. Doormen - Most doormen at the bars and discos will take a tip to let you in so you don't have to stand in line. If I am with a group, I find that 50R gets the entire group in fast. These are ONLY suggestions. Do what you feel is right and what you are comfortable with.

Also, please give us any feedback you have this weekend on the forums for login and posting. As this is the weekend that is make or break for this software. If you are unable to post, PLEASE e-mail us at: maleescortreview@gmail.com. Thanks! Oz

Firecat, Thanks for the nice response. As I always tell my friends, “do as I say, not as I do.” It is easy to give good advice to others but to heed your own advice is not so easy. In this case, I would have counseled my friend to remember the basis of the relationship. But, as I am that person, it is not so easy to do. As Barry said, “His smile is both broad and sincere. His eyes deep yet puppy doggish.” When you are dealing with someone with “puppy doggish” eyes, it is hard to look into the eyes and remember anything other than, how cute, how sweet, how sexy. Last year, I would have given up everything and moved here just for him. In fact, I almost did. But, by some miracle, it did not work and I was positioned into a land of smiles with some amazing guys that I adore and want to spend time with for many years to come. Timing is everything. Last year, I would have done anything to be with him. This year, I am more cautious. Yesterday, we woke up, went for a swim, and had a dual massage poolside as we drank our coconuts and soda. We relaxed in the hotel and got reacquainted many times. We went to dinner at Marius in Leme. I know you love that place Firecat! My boy loved it as well. He was very happy to be there. The atmosphere was very carnival and the floor was full of little white beads that made its way as high as your ankle. The food was excellent. The drinks were superb. The atmosphere could not be beat. When the check same, the bill was more than his family pays for rent in one month. He was aghast. We said goodnight, as he had to work the next morning. I made my way to the artist market in the middle of Copa and then got back to my room for a nice sleep. He had exhausted me. I was tired. I did no saunas yesterday. I did little other than spend time with him all day. It was my best day in Brazil. So, my mind is on track. My heart lost its way. My cock is in heaven. My ass hurts. My balls are drained. My back is relaxed from the massage. My face is covered with a bit of sun from the pool. My eyes make me look like a raccoon as I wore my goggles to swim. My wallet is empty from a nice dinner. My stomach is full from all the shrimp and lobster. My smiles is still as wide as the moment I laid eyes on him. Just another day in paradise! Oz
