Sell Your Ass With Class – Be The Best Escort You Can Be!

Are you a bottom the boys boast about, a terrific top, or voraciously versatile? Or, maybe you are new to the escort scene and are not quite happy with the comments you are getting on Male Escort Review?

Either way, you always want to give it your all when you are at a client's beck and call. At Male Escort Review, we took the time to write about how clients should act when they meet a new escort.

Then the clients spoke and said: “Hey Awesome Oz – this is all well and good, but shouldn't the escorts get a schooling as well?”

Why yes, my pretties! The Yellow Brick Road is a two way street. And you want to be asstastic, don't you?

So today we are going to talk about what you can do to be the best escort possible! For some of you, these tips may seem obvious; but as any client will tell you, these ferocious faux pas happen more often then you would think.

It's all part of the regular service you get when you put Male Escort Review on your daily list of things to do! After all, being an escort is more than just a sport or hobby – it's a way of life.

Rule #1: Update Your Photos Regularly!

Not all of your potential clients are wealthy. Many of them have to save up for a long time between escort encounters. That means it's very important that the encounter is special and exactly what he's looking for.

A lot of men have very specific preferences when it comes who they want to go to Gaytown with. But, if you show up and don't look like what he's expecting, you may send his boner to Limpville.

Small details like your hair, how in shape you are and even your current style sense may be a bigger deal than you think. That's why you should update your photos at least every three months. And, do so even more regularly if you get a haircut, change your gym habits or buy a new wardrobe.

You have to be exactly what he's sexpecting!

Rule #2: Be Upfront And Honest About Your Experience

When a potential client wants you to ball him for Benjamins, it's tempting to want to agree to any sort of activities he suggests as long as they are safe and sane.

The problem is that simply because you are willing to do something doesn't mean you are good at doing it. Any sexual act, whether it's taking it up the poop chute for the first time or teabagging the dude while singing “Baby Got Back,” takes practice before perfection.

When a client hires you, he does so because he thinks you are going to be particularly skilled at whatever you agree to. That's why if he suggests something you've never done before, you should tell him that you are willing to do it, but that it will be your first time trying it.

For some guys, this is far from a turn-off. In fact, quite a few will be eager to pop your sex- while-standing-upside-down-in-a-tutu cherry. But, others will realize that you are not the escort for them - and that's not a bad thing. Sure, you'll miss out on that one appointment – but you won't get a bad review that could cost you thousands of dollars in prospective clients.

The bottom line is that you have to be very clear on what you are good at, what's new to you and what you are on the fence about. A little honesty goes a long way.

Rule #3: Wash Everywhere Before An Appointment

We can't stress this rule enough. Nothing will gross a potential client out more than seeing a bit of toilet paper stuck to your ass, noticing lube from a previous encounter or ball sweat.

It's gross. Period.

You want to come off as pristine as possible. Don't overdo it with the cologne, but do put on some scent, wash your hair, make sure your ass is clean and don't take a shit within an hour or two of an appointment.

One of the biggest complaints we get is about uncut escorts who, for some reason, have yet to learn to pull back their foreskin when they do the cock wash. The result is an otherwise fine escort who smells like week-old brie.

Keep the cheese in the fridge where it belongs!

Rule #4: Show Up On Time

This should be a no-brainer for any professional baller, but you'd be surprised at how often escorts turn up late for appointments – and what a hassle it is. First off, lots of dudes are worried that you are not going to show up and get more and more nervous the later it gets. That doesn't set the right mood.

Secondly, it comes off as disrespectful. They are paying you a lot of money for this sexperience, and they deserve your time and effort.

Thirdly, in the era of Google Maps and Yahoo! Directions, there is never any excuse to be late. You used to be able to say, “Hey, I had trouble finding your place,” and be believed. But these days it will take you a maximum of 10 minutes of online research to find out how to get to a place, where to park and how much time it will take you.

If you can't be bothered to figure this stuff out in advance, you are better off giving it away for free at the local glory hole than trying to support yourself with your wood.

Rule #5: Be Prepared

Escorting, like many professions, all comes down to good service. Think of it this way – when you stay in a hotel, does it piss you off if you have to call the front desk for extra pillows or blankets? If so, imagine how your client feels if you don't come prepared with everything you need to spill their seed.

This means you should always bring condoms and lube with you. Sure, a good client will also bring his own; but you can't count on that. Many escorts also bring a couple sex toys along for the ride. Cock rings are often helpful – particularly if your client is older and may no longer be a hard wood.

Rule #6: Don't Be A Clock Watcher

We know you have a busy life. We know you may schedule multiple appointments during the day or have to get to class or meet up with your boyfriend. Still, there is no excuse for rushing the experience.

It's a huge turn-off for clients when they feel like you are constantly watching the clock waiting for your hour (or two or three) to be over. They want to imagine you are having just as much fun as they are. That's what makes it sextacular for them.

Sure, if you don't watch the clock you may end up spending a few minutes longer than the booked time with him – but so what? Ten minutes of your day isn't going to kill you – and might earn you a tip and/or a repeat performance.

To make it easier to do this, make sure you have at least a 90-minute break between appointments. That way if one runs late, you won't be playing catch up to get to your next cumtaculous conquest.

Rule #7: Don't Mention Other Guys To Your Client

For you, the escort sexperience is a job. For your client, it's an extra special part of their week. They want to feel like you are their boyfriend – for an hour at least. The last thing they want to consider is how much cock you’ve made cum, or how many loads you've blown this week.

Most want to at least be able to fantasize that you are with them. This means they don't want to hear about your boyfriend, other clients or how popular you've become as an escort.

They simply want all of your attention focused on them. Therefore, unless they bring it up, keep your moth shut. Discretion is the better part of valor – and the mystery will help them keep it up!

Rule #8: Communication Is Key!

The relationship between a client and an escort is just that – a relationship. And communication is the key to any sexessful relationship. That means you can't assume your client is having a good time simply because he isn't complaining. A lot of clients are nice guys who will do what they can to spare your feelings – even if they are extremely disappointed with your encounter.

This is exactly how “surprise” bad escort reviews happen. The solution is to keep communicating with your client during the entire session. Ask him if he likes what you are doing. Subtly queery him on whether there is anything you could be doing to make things better.

At the end of the date, ask him if he had a good time and if there is anything else he'd like you to do during the next session. All of this will make him feel like his experience is important to you – and help him get the most bang for his bucks.

It doesn't take a lot of effort – simply talk to him and listen to what he has to say.

Rule #9: Always Try To Make It Extra Special

If you've been keeping up with Male Escort Review – and we know you have – you'll have noticed that there was a recent debate about whether or not your client should tip after the encounter.

The verdict is in and the results are this: The client can tip – but only if he's gotten exceptional service. A tip is not a requirement when you are being hired for your professional services. Therefore, you can't whine if you don't get a tip; but if you work hard, you should be able to earn one from many clients.

The key is to try and go above and beyond the call of duty. An escort encounter should never be a routine sexual experience. It should be sextacular!

Compliment him as much as you can. Engage him in conversation. Treat him the way you'd want your boyfriend to treat you. Show an interest in his job. Cuddle with him, kiss him – go out of your way to be the best!

The easiest way to do this is to imagine you are the one spending the money on the encounter. Think how you would want to be treated and do that.

That, my friend, is the best tip Male Escort Review may ever give you!

Go Out And Get Them!

OK now, boys, we've dealt with you fair and square. We told the clients how to act and we've schooled you on how to react!

So, what are you waiting for? It's time for you to be good boys as you satisfy your client’s naughty nocturnal needs!

Don't be Mick Jagger – go out and get some satisfaction!

I wonder how the tipping aspect of this one is going to play out vis-a-vis the tipping debate in the great client entry.

Thanks for pointing out that little paragraph Bibottom.

[Guest mineallmine]

Okay my personal favorite of this article :

eager to pop your sex- while-standing-upside-down-in-a-tutu cherry.

That being said! In the section about communication...you might mention being honest about your likes and dislikes and what your willing to do. I was with a client recently...who didnt want to get fucked. So instead of talking to me about it or mentioning it upfront a bad situation happened. Later on the same visit I found out that he really wasnt into fucking someoneon their first get together. Now if I had known this I could have made an inform decision cause I know I metioned these were things I liked and would enjoy. Not to say that I wouldnt have gone with him if I had known these things. Be honest and up front it will avoid alot of confusion and hassle later!

The verdict is in and the results are this: The client can tip â€â€œ but only if he's gotten exceptional service. A tip is not a requirement when you are being hired for your professional services. Therefore, you can't whine if you don't get a tip; but if you work hard, you should be able to earn one from many clients.

I believe that tipping (and some other aspects for clients and escorts) ought to be approached from the point of view of reasonable expectations -- expectations of clients and expectations of escorts -- and why exceptions to expectations might be made. This is sort of glossed over in a round-about way. No clear argument is presented either way so it leaves unclear what really should be expected or asked for.

A few other comments off the top of my head... No mention of recompense ettiqute expectations -- when to ask for pay, how to exchange pay. Also, no discussion of expectations, caveats, and concerns about extended engagements including travel engagements.

[seaboy4hire]

I totally agree with the first two paragraphs of rule #9. Someone charging $200+ and expecting a tip is crazy imo. This should be totally up to the client and if the client feels the escort has went above and beyond expectations.

Oz I know you are a reliable person who would show up and/or give ample time for an escort to arrive but having an escort be late can be caused by some client's ridiculous requests.

I know time is sensitive and either 1 of us may have something to do after the booking but majority of ones who've called fuss about giving me ample time to reach them. Many calls are "can you make it NOW?" and they expect me to show up in 30 minutes, I dont work like that. Theres been times I have skipped meals and drove triple digits just to reach a booking in time because "they suddenly had plans after, or they work early the next day, or they just cant wait etc ect". Anyone who expects me to reach them within minutes is setting themselves up to have me come late. Even if I have 'Available' on the rentboy site dont mean Im all ready, keys in hand and ready to go. All it means is my time is open during then, and if somebody wants to top thats even more time I need. And a place as big as dallas you'd think some of these guys would understand giving an escort more time. Yet you say an hour to most of these guys and they have a heartattack. When someone calls I let them know how long it would take to get to them and if they cant wait that time then they can call when they have more time. I call when Im halfway so they know Im still coming and also to make sure Im not being caught out either that way neither one of us is nervous about a no show.

Oh, I have to dish google and mapquest, which can be pointless! When I came to Dallas it was pointless. They have so many names for 1 highway here you dont know where you at. One of the ones near the airport have 2 different highways merged together that quickly changes names. Its not rare to see a car with a guardrail through the dash because they tried to exit off as once you miss it you have no idea where you end up. It took me several rounds of getting lost here before I finally figured it out. Addresses are named off highways, the streets arent numbered so at any given point you have no idea where you at...And my clients knew how hard it was to get around here so they knew what I was talking about

[BiBottomBoy]

I think it's understood that if the client makes an unreasonable time request that the advice about showing up ontime goes out the window.

I think that comes under the "reasonable expectations" thing on the customer end.

When I book escorts it's usually several days in advance and when that's the case I see no excuse for an escort being late.

Thanks guys! I am working on a few changes in this. Last call for any other comments.

You mentioned tips... but what about the expectation of when to complete the financial transaction itself (i.e. before or after the date)?

Might as well add my two cents worth:

My biggest complaint is the untrimmed hairy guy (a visual turn-on for me) who for some reason doesn’t really know how to suds up and clean those bushy parts. More often than not, (that's from my limited experience) there are guys who spend a lot of time cleaning their asses (fortunately), but merely gloss over the pubes and the pits. Don’t know how they do that in a shower, but my guess is, they think that if water runs near it, it’s clean. Not.

Anyone who likes and wants that "musky" smell should have to ask for it.

You mentioned tips... but what about the expectation of when to complete the financial transaction itself (i.e. before or after the date)?

I often ask "pay after is cool with you?" when we first make contact but if he springs a "pay up front" surprise on me, that's a total and irrevocable showstopper, the reddest of red flags that he's going to try and rip me off or (for whatever reason) he thinks I'm not going to be satisfied enough to pay after. Even if he changes his mind and says he'll take it after, the trust has been broken. I'll hand him $20 or so (if he's polite), apologize for taking up his time and excuse myself politely (and quickly).

I've never had a "pay first" experience I was happy with, this after 30ish years of hiring. I vacillate on those "half up front" situations but right now I say no to those as well.

[BiBottomBoy]

I just leave the money in a clearly visable envelope on the bedside table.

[xenophile]

I just leave the money in a clearly visable envelope on the bedside table.

I won't do that either... that seems to be just asking for "grab the money and run", which has happened to a few friends.

Luckily almost all guys I see these days are total gentlemen about the financials, after the amount is determined, there's no mention of fundage. I innocuously slip them a precounted wad of bills after all is said and done, they slip it in their pocket and that's that.

Perfection. (and hurray for repeat sessions!)

[TotallyOz]

If it is a first time client, NEVER accept money upfront. Running an escort service for many years, I never had one boy in trouble with the cops. We did not take money in advance. It was done at the end. It is safer this way for the escort and assures him it is not a set up.

Why escorts should NOT expect tips and why clients should NOT feel obligated to offer tips.

I really didn't come to understand and appreciate tipping until later in life. Like many I understood tipping to be a proforma exercise that tagged 10% on to a bill or a bit more than the 10% as an expression of gratitutde for good service.

I have never worked for tips and didn't fully appreciate that this is the primary source of income for many employees in the service industries. It took a family member working in the service industry to understand the basic role that tips play in these people's income.

It is a fact that most restaurants pay wait staff a very low wage to work. In many, probably in most cases, below minimum wage. It is understood by both parties that a wait staff's income will primarily come from tips. I have difficulty with this arrangement as I believe employers ought to pay a fair wage to empolyees based on hours and service. In fairness there are good arguments for this customary arrangement based on the nature of the restaurant business. The bottom line is this is the custom in service sectors.

So when I leave a tip anymore (18% -- 20%), it is not a proforma exercise of custom but a recognition that the person who served me depends on me to help contribute to him making a living at the end of the day. If the service is exceptionally good then I add a little extra to express my thanks. This is what tipping is really all about.

Why don't doctors or lawyers, or carpenters solicit tips? They are service providers too. The reason is simple, they are independent service providers that set their own fees. They are not dependent on an employer for a place to work at the agreement of low wages supplemented by tips.

Independent escorts also are service providers that set their own fees. They do not depend on tips to make their living or supplement their income. At least they should not. If they feel their fees are inadequate compensation then they have the power to raise them just as any lawyer or carpenter would.

A case can be made that an escort working for an agency, at agency rates below the prevailing independent rates, might warrant consideration of a tip.

For this reason, that escorts set their own fees and are free to change them at will and thus are not dependent on tips to supplement their income, escorts should not expect a tip and clients should not fee obligated to tip.

Having said all of that, if a client wishes to express gratitude for exceptional service or thoughfulness then there is nothing wrong with a tip as expression of that graitutude.

Personally, I have had escorts bring me gifts from Europe, pay for my supper, buy me three or four CDs that he thought would appeal to me or that I should be exposed to, etc. I have had escorts hang with me off the clock for great company for whole evenings. I'm appreciative when an escort looks at me as more than the next road sign on the highway. A little thoughfulness and forthought shown is appreciated.

I have tipped but it truly was an expression of appreciation for going above and beyond in some substantive way, but not just for a successful engagement anticipated from the beginning.
