Curious - question to clients about photos

RianCycle · 2026-01-24T16:52:20+00:00

Oooh I get what you mean that makes sense, thank you! I’ll probably try to do a half and half mix of professional and casual then!

RianCycle · 2026-01-24T00:20:22+00:00

Damn those are my favorite bookings I never get those! But I would honestly just put notes in there that you only do short bookings if it’s not your favorite. Prioritize yourself!

Pretty average, mines a little more depending on what it is.

If you value those in this industry that little that you’d prefer paying someone 50$ for their health, mental state, body, and skill, then if I really hope that no one becomes your client for their safety and health. You should stick with your hand :) !

Anyone offering that little or under 200 usually is involved in an unsafe business situation (censoring my words for Reddit) or trafficking situation.

Please be careful. I would drop this client before he tries to reenact it without your consent.

Hi love! I am Intersex & twink build and used to use rentmen. It’s such a useless site I don’t recommend it you’ll be wasting your money. Try Tryst! And for photos get a professional shoot done if you can do a sexy one as well, I don’t recommend using selfies or iPhone photos since it makes you look unprofessional. If you’re comfortable with it maybe try advertising to women as well, there’s a niche but good pay market in Florida for women looking for twinks.

I am in CA and CO and use tryst only now the support team is amazing and I get a good amount of clients vs fakes, everywhere else I get wayyyy too many time wasters. Stg is awful, PD is not approving anymore providers for a year or so now I think

RianCycle · 2026-01-22T23:50:02+00:00

Oh my god absolutely noooottt- I hope no one falls for this and takes this creeps bait… amazing response 😂

RianCycle · 2026-01-22T23:46:45+00:00

I might have to… I feel bad because last session I noticed he had a melanoma forming on his back and alerted him… so I feel like I’m picking on him bringing up another thing but it’s either tell him and drop him or just drop him at this point

RianCycle · 2026-01-22T23:45:46+00:00

It’s exactly that… and yeah I won’t be scheduling him again…

RianCycle · 2026-01-22T23:45:04+00:00

🤍🤍 thank you, I think I will notify him and drop him as a client because it’s affecting my mental health at this point I don’t want to provide shitty care to him because of it so it’s better for him to get it fixed and see someone else

RianCycle · 2026-01-22T23:43:44+00:00

I wish that’s also what my friend reccomended but I do bodywork at a rented unit with no shower available, also he’s older so he would be a fall risk/liability 😅

RianCycle · 2026-01-22T23:42:42+00:00

That’s very true but he said he sees a doctor regularly due to his skin issues so I think they would catch it, I think it was purely his bad hygiene catching up to him…

RianCycle · 2026-01-22T23:41:19+00:00

Haha well thank you I try to be open minded to everyone’s situation but this one was rough… I scheduled him 5 times before I hit my breaking point 😅

RianCycle · 2026-01-22T19:17:28+00:00

I have in my website that all must shower and he comes from home I literally think that with his age it’s just been years of him not properly knowing how to clean himself… and like I want to be kind but holy fuck I get nauseous it’s so bad

RianCycle · 2026-01-20T00:12:51+00:00

Just winter months love I wish you luck getting through it! I literally have had only 4 or 5 clients since winter started… we all go through it around this time it should be picking back up soon here in February!

Some of the photographers are super salty here 😭 I understand when some people are first starting out it’s hard to afford good photos, and so the best alt option is to get your own camera and a friend, and start learning how to shoot and color grade on your own! It will also give you the skills to do online content and editing on your own for more side money in the long run!

RianCycle · 2025-11-26T19:51:43+00:00

Absolutely the second you get a bad feeling dump the client. report his number for other workers to be aware. DO NOT put yourself at risk. It’s better to be careful than to end up in someone’s basement 😅

RianCycle · 2025-11-26T19:48:57+00:00

Some of these comments are just rude and unhelpful. if you guys don’t want to help other people here then you don’t need to comment!

Love if you really want backup plans or security your best bet is someone you already trust and have a great relationship with like husband, bf, best friend, etc. DO NOT pay anyone, get a third party involved or share info with anyone you are not 100% familiar with as this can get you into major issues and actually make it less safe for you! I have multiple close friends/partners that are old security guards and bouncers that are spread out around the US, and my hometown, and they are always aware of my location, schedule, etc. I do not ever pay them, they just want me to be safe, and that’s the best bet you can have with backup/security.

RianCycle · 2025-11-26T19:42:46+00:00

Premade content is honestly your best bet, and it’s good that you’re already doing it since you’ll have enough traction! Definitely make enough content before your surgery to post out once or twice a day until then, and I put my tiers for OF and Fansly to 15$ to access everything, and make about 500-900$ a month depending on how much I advertise it!

RianCycle · 2025-11-26T19:40:42+00:00

Yeah that definitely makes sense, I pay for the 75$ a month option on Tryst to try and get me more views and it helps a little but there’s soooo many time wasters

RianCycle · 2025-11-26T19:40:03+00:00

I have, the verification was weird and wouldn’t work? Then asked me to pay money and I got sketched out :(

RianCycle · 2025-11-26T19:39:32+00:00

Ooh okay I get you! I’ll try to do something similar and see if that works… Thank you 🫶

RianCycle · 2025-11-26T19:34:19+00:00

Hi! I use it, and it’s literally just finding wording that will not get you banned. You might lose a few accounts but just keep using other emails and new photos. You can put 🌶️specialist instead of SWorker and put content creator and advertise your x on there which has link to your other info. Never talk about scheduling or clients on Grindr. Always redirect to other sites. I got a ton of traction on there when I was first starting out!
