Escort Tales: The Trophy Boy and Other Stories

Rating:
Summary: A Different Point of View...........
Review: As a long time fan and admirer of Joseph Itiel's writing, I always find his books fascinating, exciting, informative, and hard to put down. Whether you read his books as a form of fantasy, or as a person who has had experience with escorts, you will find his stories are never disappointing. Itiel's many years of first-hand knowledge and experience, reveal a world few of us ever experience or know little about. The seven stories in his latest book reveal the private thoughts and feelings of male escorts, giving us a different point of view, that of the escorts. All of these stories are sexy & erotic, and truly educational. We are all familiar with the client's point of view, their needs, desires, and dislikes, but now we finally get a eye-opening view of what it's like to be on the other side. I think this is the best book Joseph Itiel has written so far.

In these seven stories we are taken to many different countries, from the Philippines, to Acapulco, to Hong Kong. We get to explore the personal backgrounds, feelings, and thoughts of many escorts of various nationalities. We meet Nestor in "The Luneta Park Call Boy", who meets an Australian gay couple who want him to leave his native Philippines to live with them. Is it worth it, or to his advantage, knowing what is required of him by this couple? In "The Tribe" we get to know Ronnie Lou, a black street hustler, and discover his many multiple personalities. And in the title story, "The Trophy Boy", Domingo leaves Acapulco for San Francisco, with a gringo named Jim, and becomes his trophy boy. What an experience is in store for him! Not to be missed.

All of these stories are sexy, bold, and very erotically charged, but what is more important is the openness the escorts exhibit in telling us about their reactions to their clients desires, their personal feelings, and how they respond to these positive or negative emotions. Itiel is one of the best writers of this genre today. I wish there had been more stories in this collection, for it all ended too soon for me. Highly Recommended!!!

Summary: Escort Tales...The Ford Escort was more exciting.
Review: Save your money. This is a lame effort at erotica founded on the fantasy of "rent boys". I finished the book, but quite frankly, I couldn't wait for it to end. I rarely will refuse to finish reading something once I've started it, but this "collection" of nonsense came real close to being relegated to the recycling bin.
