Although I have never hired from PlanetJockBoys, I’ve been a distant admirer of their stable of boys over the past couple years. Until today.

 

It appears as though there’s been a pretty big turnover in their offerings: A number of the escorts previously listed on their website have disappeared, and just under half of the escorts now listed there are labeled “new.” One of the newbies – Gary – is labeled “Jockboy of the Month.”

http://www.planetjockboys.com/gary.html

 

The first thing I noticed after clicking on Gary’s listing is that he sure does bear a striking resemblance to the porn star Mick Lovell – a blond all-American jock type that eventually ended up in some Bel Ami vids a couple years back. So I was immediately suspicious.

 

I then ran an image search on the other photos. The one of the model in a white thong with his chest exposed has his head cropped off, which makes sense because this is a photo of an Asian model. Another, in white boxer-briefs, appears to be yet another (non-Asian) model.

 

Although I couldn’t find the ass-shot anywhere, it does appear that 3 of the 4 pics of PlanetJockBoys’ “Jockboy of the Month” are of different models.

 

I’m hoping that this was some sort of clerical error on their part. I know there have been some questions about the validity of this particular agency. But a number of folks who have hired from them in the past have reported positively on their experience. So I hope PJB rectifies this situation.

I've used PJB's site. Up until Gary's posting they've been on the up and up in terms of posting actual pics for their guys. Mind you I haven't meet every single guy on the site, but I haven't ran into a false pic issue with them... yet.

 

With that said, I believe whomever Gary is, they are trying to hide his identity from possibly his employer (who may or may not be a porn site). I say this because there was a guy who worked for Corbin Fisher on the site. They used his actual pics, but hid his face. Because his body was recognizable enough, a blog and thus his employer (CF) found out and he dropped of the site quickly. I believe CF has something contractually about their guys escorting on the side.

 

Furthermore, it isn't the only time something like this happened (with a slightly different circumstance with another escort from the site).

 

As to their quick turn over rate... that's another story all together. :-P

I noticed that most their new guys- their orientation wasn't stated.

I've never seen PJB list a gay escort; their always straight or bi, so I don't see the point in them listing that.

 

 

Very occasionally I've seen someone listed as gay on their site. And some clients may prefer bisexual escorts over straight ones--or versa vice. I still wonder where they find all these straight guys who like to bottom and aren't freaked out by kissing other guys.

Jockboys recently merged with a smaller agency on the west coast. The model in question, Gary, was one of their models. We have removed the page until we authenticate the model further. A client of ours who has seen him said the pictures were accurate and we were going on his trusted opinion, which may have been a mistake.

We have been in business since 2001 and have never purposefully posted fake photos... we have no need to. Our guys are truly amazing and beautiful men. If we were duped, forgive us for being human. A simple email to us stating your doubts would probably have been more beneficial than posting here and resulted in a faster investigation in the the "realness" of the photos. But I guess its more gratifying to be the one who "breaks the big story." I do thank our loyal clients who have spoken up in our defense.

 

As of the rotation of our models... Our goal is to get our models with regular clients as soon as possible, once that happens they come off the site. In some cases, new guys simply don't like escorting and quit. We don't have them sign contracts, we think that this job is not for everyone. Some we fire for misconduct or because of character issues for you, the client's protection.

 

We don't only hire straight and bi guys, however our image is one of a male athlete, the all American boy, and regardless of a person's so-called orientation (a social construct, not a real thing) that is who we recruit. How we get "straight guys" to kiss and bottom, etc.. well last time I checked there is no anatomical difference in a man who says he's gay and one that says he's straight. If a gay man can physically enjoy something, a straight man can receive the same simulation. Its odd to me that the gay community has such black and white opinions on guys who may be emotionally straight (choose to date women) but enjoy gay sex.. Isn't that a good thing that makes being "gay" more "normal"? Many gay men have enjoyable sex with women and we don't call them straight after, why can't straight men enjoy the same lack of stigma. Let's just all live and let live and enjoy a human, their body, and their beauty..

 

I will post an update on our site after we look further into the "Gary" issue. In the future, please just email us... we aren't in business to screw over our clients, or we would not be around after 13 years. Believe it or not, their is still integrity in the business... join in. Thank you...

Yes.. see my posting.. we are moving away from posting orientation because what does it matter? Its not a date, it's a "date-like" experience. If you're looking for a boyfriend, an escort site is probably not a good place for this, although in some very rare instances, I have seen it happen.

But, with all due respect to your opinion, some clients have different opinions about this. Sexual orientation is not a social construct- or maybe it is- but it still has meaning. Some clients for whatever reason may only want to be with a guy who identifies as straight (maybe it feeds a fantasy- but the reason doesn't really matter). Other clients may feel more comfortable with men who identify themselves as bisexual. I personally would usually rather have an escort who is gay. Now it's very possible that you may not want clients who have particular preferences like these. But please do not say these client preferences are not important because for many clients they are extremely important.

My two cents, for what it is worth.

 

I have been a client of PJBs, and I have always been delighted with the guys they have referred to me. Communication sometimes takes a day or so, but I appreciate the quality of Butch's guys. (Some are listed as Bi or Str8. The Bi ones I have met have been fabulous, and Butch has never steered me wrong when responding to specific questions, such as: Does this guy enjoy French kissing? How passionate is he?)

 

That the manager of PJBs immediately jumped on the problem of the fake pix speaks well of the agency. The models listed on their website are all over the country--so I doubt that Butch can meet them all in person. (Even Maximum in NYC, a great agency, had duds, and Stephen was sometimes slow to remove the duds.)

 

So I'd give this agency the benefit of the doubt on issues such as this one--and give Butch a salute if he fixes the problem pronto.

Ah, yes. Attack the messenger. I might suggest that a simple investigation involving about 10 seconds worth of image searches into whom you choose to make your jockboy of the month would probably have been more beneficial than posting his photos on your site and would have resulted in a faster realization about the fakeness of the photos, as well.

 

That’s your ethical responsibility, sir. Not mine. And since, through your questionable choice of listing this escort and then giving him a title, you gave me no cause to trust you. So I chose instead to communicate with a community whom I do trust.

 

If that’s bad for your business, then I’d graciously suggest you try and run your business better.

Also puzzling to me is the lack of response from a few of your escorts....I've emailed a few times to schedule an appointment with no response....just curious....

 

We haven't had escorts in the Michigan area for some time... That may be a reason, I don't know your email, so send me an email at butch@planetjockboys.com and I will look into it. Also, if they don't respond in the future, just copy me in the email. Your emails may be flagged by our server as spam...it happens. We get hundreds of emails a day it's hard to monitor them all.

Is "Gay For Pay" a sexual orientation?[/color]

 

[video=youtube;BvF1MO4Tbvg]

 

No it's a behavior...some practice that behavior well.. Some don't. However, I thank the "straight" guy for at least trying.. It seems that if more did that then there would not be such a divide between the way people label themselves. Many gay men struggle for equality in this country..it seems that we should welcome any ally on the other side of the fence. Also young people's attitudes are changing... Let's encourage that, not attack it.

Thank you and we shall .... I'm not attacking you I'm asking that all of us attempt to act civil toward each other. I tell my guys the only thing this world owes them is a chance, and only one chance.... I would have appreciated the chance to respond to your lack of trust personally rather than in a public forum. Many things I will not say public ally to protect the confidentiality of my clients and models.. I assume that is appreciated.

And yes we may have jumped the gun.. The jury is still out but it looks like the evidence is against us.. I have not met the boy personally but trusted 3 good business relationships to inform me. I will be more attentive in the future. Also I interviewed the boy on Skype and he had a remarkable resemblance to the image sent. I did run a google search on one image and nothing came up. I don't watch gay porn, I don't have the time...some of my guys appear on sites and if they don't tell me I have no way of knowing.

I'm not interested in a public debate with you, feel free to email me if you'd like additional information, as I am only explaining our actions, and our philosophy that we really do try to ensure mutual respect and enjoyment for all parties...it's on our website. Thank you for bringing this to our attention regardless of the venue you chose to do so.

I think you left a very important detail out of the equation:
