The role a gay escort settles before anything else
A gay escort in Hong Kong describes himself as a top, a bottom or versatile, and plenty of advertising still uses active and passive for the first two.
Versatile means he goes either way and will take his lead from you. This is the thing to be clear about first, because how long, where and what it costs all sit on top of it, and a top who books another top has wasted both evenings. Put your own in the opening line and everything after it gets shorter.
The shorthand these men use for how they look
A handful of words do most of the describing among male escorts in Hong Kong, and they are types, not compliments. Gay escort and male escort are the same search written two ways, HK or Hong Kong on the end making no difference either.
Twink is the one that comes up most: young, slim and smooth. Muscle means heavy and deliberate about it, a jock is gym-built and athletic rather than heavy, and hunk sits between those two. Daddy is older and carries himself that way, which is manner as much as age. Asian is the most common background among them. Pick the word that matches what you actually want and start from it instead of from the photographs, which are styled; the word is his own claim about build and age, and nothing in it tells you how he behaves once the door shuts.
Nobody here advertises as straight
Most write gay and a smaller number bisexual, and that single word is the whole of what a profile says on the subject.
Anyone who arrived expecting otherwise is in the wrong place, and knowing it now saves a message. Past that single line his profile keeps to what he looks like and what he offers, which makes orientation the only declaration of its kind you can read before you write.
What a gay escort in HK offers beyond the hour
Massage is the service named most often by the men advertising here, and it can be the whole hour or the first twenty minutes of one.
After it the two things that come up most are couples, where you are not the only one in the room, and the BDSM end, where a man says outright whether he is the dominant one. Mature is its own word here and describes him rather than you. What none of it settles is company: whether an hour runs quiet and unhurried or straight to the point is a question to put to him in the first message, not something to read off a list, and it does not follow from whether he is a top or a bottom.
Discreet, the place and the price with a male escort
Discreet is the promise that appears on more of these advertisements than any other, and it means what you would expect: no calls at awkward hours, nothing repeated, a lobby he can cross without an audience.
In practice he either receives you where he works, an incall, or turns up at your hotel instead, an outcall. Most of them cluster on the Kowloon side of the water, and the Island keeps its own share divided between Wan Chai and Central, so the crossing is worth settling before the hour is. Some of these men are in the city for a fortnight and then gone, so his dates are worth asking about before his hours are, and a whole night is priced on its own line and not as four hours doubled. His rates are quoted in Hong Kong dollars, per hour and per night, and that figure is where the two of you start rather than where you finish.
137 of the men here work from a place of their own, 150 travel out. Yau Tsim Mong carries 34, the youngest of them 19 and the eldest 45, standing between 165 and 195 centimetres.
A TS escort in Hong Kong answers a different question again, and the wider choice of Hong Kong escorts is the women advertising across the city.
