escort web sites

[Matt_Vancouver]

Ok I'm starting to get annoying.

How important is a web site? When shopping for a boy for play, do you look for a lot of text describing what they do, their interests, personal information?

Or do you look for the most explicit raunchy photos that they could put on the internet without getting arrested?

I'm thinking about updating my web site, but need some imput on content... what do you want to see? What don't you want to see.

Do you want me to go away? Or do you want to see more?

dear matt...i think a little of both is important as long as your honest..too many raunchy pics make me believe that the person is hiding a personality flaw...too much text makes me worry that they are hiding something physical..am from chicago can get you a great deal on a great hotel..no strings attached..just a nice guy..hope the info helps..regards and happy holidays

What we don't want is pop up messages and ads! I can't even get to your current site through the link posted. Get some internet identity company pop up instead. What we do like is a body shot that shows enough to know what we are getting. Explicit cock shots are not necessary. Enough text to get a feel for the guy. If its more than 3 or 4 pages its probably more info than we want.

[Guest Travis69]

I like a few clear pics to show different aspects of the body. Nothing too "artsy" as far as the posing, as it distorts the way the body really looks. I don't require x rated photos but to some they are vital. I do appreciate "stats" such as height, weight, chest, arms, endowment. Versatility and some idea of the price is helpful. Whether they have a dog or like camping is irrelevant to me.

[Traveller]

Personally, as you can tell from my posts, I like to see a minimum of a 1000 word description of the escort's upbringing, preferably written in verse. Childhood photos are especially important as they help me to divine the inner soul of the man with whom I'm going to spend that hour. I also love to see a list of all of their extracurricular activites in high school, as well as a brief explanation of why they chose each one and how it helped them later on in life.

 

Short of that, stats showing height, weight, age and cock size, as well as recent pics, at least three quarters of which are naked with a raging hard on, will generally get my attention and make me consider hiring an escort. Hope this helps.

 

Later.

[Guest albinorat]

Well, I have nothing to do right now and will venture an unimportant opinion to be ignored and/or derided.

 

I think shorter is better. It's nice if there's one pic that captures something sexy about the escort -- one guy I adored had a picture of himself fully clothed with a backwards baseball cap standing in front of a window -- his face, 'tude, build were all very erotic. Tight tee shirt, and tighter jeans hinted at the right answers to the usual questions.

 

And I had a great time when I met him. The pic was true as far as his performing as an escort went. I didn't need to see anything else, or more. His smile -- half welcoming, half challenge told me I'd get a kick out of spending an hour with him and I did (several times).

 

For me cock shots, ass shots don't prove much (what if they belong to somebody else, or the guy has ten inches but somehow only when he erects and he can't manage to erect for you so what good did the picture do?) That's not to say I'm not as much a voyeur as anyone. But those pix don't sell me.

 

I think there should be brief indications of interests. *Top only*, *bottom only*, *worship only* say a lot.

 

"Hate fat people, men over 45, and would never consider even the mildest fetish or kink scene" would save me e-mail and I'd appreciate it.

 

"Looking for in shape dudes who like healthy sweaty normal sex" is a nicer way of saying 'buzz off, quirky fatty'.

 

But, "open to all types, will consider mild scenes, am mostly top but can be slightly versatile" (or "am mostly bottom but can switch") can also be good.

 

*Day only*, *afternoons and evenings (to 11PM) only*, *24/7* are useful too. Since a web page can be accessed from anywhere -- *will travel*, or *will commute to...[NJ, LI, greater NY area]* or *travel a lot, email to see when I'll be in your area next* is probably a good idea.

 

Finally some indication of price, even if it's sly ($$$$, or *u need Bo coup bucks* or *moderate rates for most scenes*). And it's probably wise to suggest rate is per hour but evening and overnights are available.

Yeah I agree on the anoying pop ups. The redirect site I use is usually pretty good, but lately the service ahs been down quite a bit, so I am shopping. The good thing about them is that the one pop up you see is the only pop up and it won't take over your computer, that is why i chose them.

thanx for the info.

I like the Choirboyz/London philosophy of just showing faces and trying to match up personalities.

 

When I get pics of asses or cocks, I feel like I should be publishing a medical textbook.

I think a well designed web site is not only a great selling tool, but it can also tell a lot about the person. Some without any nude pictures can be just as appealing. Check out my fav's web site. One of the best and very PG-13 rated:

 

http://www.derekcolton.com

 

Be sure and check out the flash site version.

[Justice]

Keep it simple. A couple of pictures that give potential clients some idea of what you look like would be helpful. (They don't have to be of the xxx variety. Those pictures are easy to fake and always seem to get posted all over the 'net.) A shot of your face is nice, but not necessary.

 

A brief discription of yourself (including your stats) is also very helpful. It would also be nice if you could describe the types of scenes that you are into and your availability.

[Guest Nice Guy]

Well Mister

I have seen a few gents in my day. Website or not. I really don't care to read the case history. First of all, it is not always the truth. That I have found out from experience, secondly, the escort's background makes good conversation. AS YOU WELL KNOW! Like, Hoo I like just face shots and maybe a chest shot. The rest I can find out first hand or by reading the reviews. While, I really like Derek and he is one of my favorite people, I just don't need to know that information. Actually, I found it more enjoyable reading and viewing after I met him. Then I knew the person behind the pictures, and that was the best part.

And Matt your reputation is impeckable and your charm an envy of many. Let them find out first hand. I did and look how I fell for the Man, not the Pic. See you soon in PS. Glade your back!!!

[Guest EvilSwine]

You're selling yourself so you should make the site a teaser. Tell what you will or won't do, basic stats,prices, good pics that would get someone nice and horny. Doesn't have to be anything X-rated, but should give someone a good idea of what they'd be getting. Maybe a link referring to your reviews on this site. Later if demand became too great you could open up a sideline selling your old undies.

[Will]

As there's nothing I'd rather be asked for than my opinion, here goes. I agree with SFJeff that Derek Colton's website is perfect. From my viewpoint, however, what makes it perfect is its taste and professionalism. This is obviously a carefully designed site, and it gives the impression that the man it represents will be worth my time, money, and emotional investment.

 

Unlike Traveller, I do not have the libido, means, or opportunity to sample every piece of eye-candy that I come across. Therefore, for me the more information the better. That is because I like to spend time with an escort. Furthermore, I am not a man with hair-triggered erogenous zones. To get going, I not only like but actually need to feel relaxed, valued, respected, and -- most of all -- involved with another human being who's enjoying my company as much as I am enjoying his. What's more, I am a man of some experience of the world and would like to have the sense that an escort is going to be an interesting companion. That's also because, for me, Eros lives as much in the head as in the crotch.

 

As for "X" photos, that seems to mean everything from a sort of tasteful nude photograph to out-and-out raunchy pornography. They're fun, but not necessary.

 

Most of all, for me the website should give me the clear sense that the person it represents really exists. No platitudes, cliches, and attitude-ridden self-advertisements are either wanted or needed.

 

Thanks for asking, and I hope this helps!

[Guest Kenneth]

Well, unlike most of the above posts, I like to see the goods before I decide to buy. Minimum requirements: accurate face shot (face is important to mee), good body shots (not artsy shots that camouflage faults) and cock shots. You can have "hardon shots" that are not necessarily X-rated. A brief description of what you are like is also important.......your family history is not needed. Price list is a must. You don't have to give a list of what you will and will not do until you've been contacted by a potential client. You can give vague descriptions of your likes and dislikes and then let the potential client ask details.

I know that many have responded that they don't necessarily want to see cock shots but seeing "the goods" does help me a great deal in deciding. They can be tastefully done. Hope this helps.

[N.N.]

Escorts can put their cock and ass pics on a separate page,

and anyone who doesn't want to see them doesn't have to call

up that page. (What a concept.)

 

Me, I want to see dick pics--from a couple of different

angles, if possible. Size matters to me, and let's face it,

escorts cannot be relied on to give accurate measurements.

And pics show what measurements don't: curvature, taper, etc.

 

Having said all that, I also appreciate when an escort has

written a bit more about himself than just a table of stats.

How someone writes can reveal a lot about their personality.

[Traveller]

Amen N.N., except that bit about a little more than stats. The only way you're going to accurately gauge what they'll like and if you'll click is a telephone call. I gotta here a voice and ask a few questions to seal the deal.

 

Later.

[Losgatan]

LAST EDITED ON Dec-15-00 AT 06:04PM (EST)[p]I also like a site that truly conveys the escort's personality and his attitude toward his clients. Face pictures are far more important to me than x-rated nude shots.

 

As an example, take a look at this site for Adam in San Francisco:

 

http://www.xtrememale.com/Adam/

 

You just know that you're going to have a wonderful time with this dude (and I have many times).

[Guest bottomboykk]

Matt: First of all, you could never be annoying! :-)

 

I like an escort's web site to be informative. Too many are too vague. I can't get a feel for them by looking at the page; if I can't tell enough from their site, I'm highly unlike to pursue the matter. I prefer X pix, but have hired guys without them. I like a face pic, but am totally understanding about an escort's need for privacy and discretion.

 

Most of all, the information needs to be ACCURATE! I can't understand a guy doing a major exaggeration; how can he expect to explain himself when you actually meet up? It's ridiculous!!

[Casteran]

IMHO keep it basic. Content should be clean easy to read and stick to the basics, we all know what stats are, no need to give a life history. Pics should show face (if you want), body without being graphic (unless you offer services that require graphic pics - leather, etc).

I personally look for simple site, with simple stats, with basic photos - the real "seller" for me is the interaction via email, phone and then "live". I have met with some escorts that at first did not "appeal" to me from their website, but after the communication I was hooked and very happy with results.

[Guest jeejer]

When I look at an escort's site I of course want to be able to see the physical aspects of who the persons with whom I will be spending time. Face shots and clothed and unclothed body shots, but not necessarily cock and ass shot.

 

However more important for me is to learn something about the person. Not neccesarily a 1000 word essay on your life, but in some way showing your humor, personality and creativity. Your artsy-fartsy shots in your present web site, told me alot of who I was going to see.

Was this a good or a bad thing?? I sort of liked them myself (as I suspect you did.) I do like the log sitting shot on this site too (guys, get your minds out of the gutter, please).

 

Matt,

 

Keep it simple, keep it sweet... Just say a little about who you are and what your about. Your pics make any stats superfluous, except for your height and maybe your time running the mile, sorry, kilometer.

 

The bare minimum, which IMHO is all you really need -- your name, one pic (clothed) and a link to your reviews. More than enough to keep your dance card filled. Sometimes less is more...

[Matt_Vancouver]

Wow I didn't expect this kind of responce to this, Thanx guys, very helpful.

A few comments about things said in the above posts.

Artsy shots aren't necessarily to camoflauge faults, I've chosen to use those shots on my page, because I liked the composition, and they left something to the imagination,( and to hide my hideous imperfections...like the huge goiter on my neck: ) and I did that page a couple of years ago, when i was just starting out. I didn't want mom or worse, grandma, stumbling upon nekid shots of thier sweet innocent boy: )

But now that there are shots of me all over the internet, well I've decided that I don't mind showing more.

Also the comment about phone conversations. I'm absolutly horrible on the phone! I seem to always get caught in the middle of dinner with friends or something, so I'm not sure that is the best guage of compatibility either.

Again thank you for all of your help with this, I should be working on a new site in the coming month... if I have the time, and will let you all know when it's up an running.

have a great non-denominational holiday season: )

spin the dradle, chop down a tree, eat some cabbage rolls, throw shiny stuff all over your houses, roast some chestnuts, kill a turkey, and wrap up something warm and sexy to open on the morning of the 25th.

Matt( he likes christmas, but doesn't follow any traditional conformist religious organizations...free thinking for the new millenium: )

If it helps, this seems to be working for me.

I have been experimenting for the last ten months with various types of websites. I'm sure everyone has a different opinion on things, but these are my observations.

 

1. Single page websites on free space are probably the worst.

2. Using an AVS system helps to weed out clients.

3. If you are going to have a stand alone website having 30 or more x pics in the AVS section works best.

4. If you dont use a phone number that gets answered you will lose 50% or more of your potential clients.

5. Be consistent with your website. If you keep changing the names of the pages it will cost you traffic.

6. My preference is to just register my site with a servcice that keeps kids out rather than have a warning page. Having empty opening pages is a waste of real estate. (Granted, I still need to code in the registration information, but it is on my list of things to do.

7. Good sites are more complicated than looking good. Targeting traffic is not easy and requires some thought. There are many ways to generate traffic, but very few of them generate any quality traffic.

 

I have started to experiment with a number of other features to test the effectiveness of various things. I have gotten of course, but for clients and escorts there are a lot of things to consider in looking at a website and developing a website.

 

You can see a lot of different examples of escort websites by visiting my website at http://www.whatshotnews.com and folowing the various links.

One thing that has irritated me with some escorts in the past is using pictures that are not really germane to the discussion. I do like sometimes to see a shirtless, or not, picture of someone on vacation. It can show a lot about personality. But I do not like it when someone who is only available as a top uses an ass shot. Often without including the dick in the pic. Now, I know that some do this specifically to avoid showing the package in front, but what it does is promise action with the sweet patoot, a promise which the text makes clear will not be kept. There's an old adage in the theater - If you show a weapon in Act One, you have to be prepared to use it in Act Three.
