Don't Leave Home Without It: A Rentboy's Checklist

There are some key items that you must always remember to pack when venturing off to see a client. You won't use every item every time, but just remember what that overly-friendly Boy Scout Troop leader taught you: Be Prepared.

Here's my list, (in no particular order):

Good lube.
Condoms (both regular & XL).
Viagra.
An excuse to leave (if need be).
Colgate Wisps (best invention since silicone-based lube).
Listerine.
Mace (ya never know).
A casual outfit (jeans & a hoodie are your best bet).
Deodorant.
Baby wipes.
Poppers.
Cell phone.
GPS or really good directions including the hotel room number.
Hair gel.
And most importantly: Swagger.

This is a good list to live by. But ALWAYS remember to LEAVE YOUR DIGNITY AT HOME. If you bring it with you, you're bound to leave it at some trick's hotel room and never see it again. Trust me, it happened with my favorite pair of sunglasses. Avoid that. You can pick up your dignity at home after you're done working.

A Lazy Hooker?

Seems that I've been a "lazy hooker" lately - the last client I've seen was nearly a month ago when I was in NYC. My lack of work/blogging since then is a bit ironic, considering I was named "Hooker Blog of the Month" by The Sword.com

Well, I'm happy to report that I'm still here, and I have a regular client that I'll be seeing late tonight. Yay!

As I've blogged about before, there is total flexibility when you do something like this. You can do it when you want, take a break when you want, etc. You have no boss - and I've generally found that clients are patient. If you tell regulars that you're taking some time off or that you're going out of town for a bit, they get it. The client I'm seeing tonight has been in contact trying to connect for a while. I called him back this afternoon to see if he wanted to get together, and there you have it - a date is made.

Thanks to all of you for the great comments you've been leaving both here and on my Twitter. Much love to ya!
