Totally with North Africans - I've had locals all over me and then blank me and vice vera. I just go with the flow now. 
 
As for Marrakesh itself, hotels/riads are difficult but whilst apartments are easier - lots have a guard and sometimes an entry camera too.
I'd be very selective who you bring back if they think easy money/pleasure then you might not get rid. That's not counting those with sticky fingers and scammers. 

Several guys I met from Gindr (massage boys) asked me not to show their pics to anyone. They are usually students or boy who didn't make their come out. I think we have to be careful with pics. This is just my personal experience and choice to respect them. This is for Gindr. For website dedicated to sex services like rentmen.com that may be different.

A gay-owned coffee company in Rio has launched in just the last two weeks called Jacu (after the bird, it is not Jacu Bird Poop Coffee). I met the owner, and he is impressive. He is pushing diversity and has hired a great team. One of his executives I met is a guy who grew up in a favela and is now finishing his third year of law school. The company pays his tuition and high salaries. 
I asked how I could help. If you are in Rio, you can order the coffee at @jacucoffee. It is shipped the same day and takes about two days to your location in Rio. Just great tasting coffee and the picture on the box is the owner's farm.
He also said they started to use social influencers to add followers to  @jacucoffee. They are opening a coffee and doughnut cafe in Rio Sul. 
Can we help to drive up the Instagram numbers? Can work to get placement from more retail stores in Rio and SP. And when you are in Rio, ordering some coffee makes a great gift. I just brought back 12 boxes to the USA. Selling at R$39 for 250 g box in Brazil, this same quality coffee in the USA would be priced over US$15.
Say they are expanding to the USA market, have meetings set with large retailers.
Sorry did not see this topic before I posted.

Personally, I don't see the red flags you do, but to each his own standards.  I know something about photoshop and that video isn't photoshopped and those photos of him holding the big dick give me no concern that they aren't accurate.  Just because the advertisement doesn't meet your standards doesn't equate to it or he being deceptive.  Those of us who may hire him always have the opportunity to communicate with him and ask for more detail - and his Whatsapp number is included.  What if a reader on the forum suggests you have ulterior motives shading this guy?  If untrue you wouldn't like being called dishonest, either.  🙄

Maybe you and I have looked at different individuals.  When I click on the link I viewed a video which shows a handsome body and big dick (not erect), and there is a still photo of him with an erect dick.  I agree with vetting someone before hiring, but calling this individual's listing as deceptive is a bit of a stretch - based solely on the information contained in the advertisement.  🙄

Sadly this is something you can place part of the blame on the Constitution written for the Japanese by the Americans after World War 2. Article 175 of the Japanese Penal Code states that it is illegal to share "indecent materials." Consequently photos of genitalia are not permitted and anyone found distributing such material in Japan will be faced with a very hefty fine or jailed. Porn producers found a way round that by introducing pixelation. Some producers have tried to fight the law. In probably the first case in 2004, one was found guilty and fined. He appealed to a higher court which upheld the guilty verdict and tripled the fine! There are some Japanese gay porn vdos without pixelation but they are almost all primarily aimed at overseas markets or produced overseas. I believe there are machines you can buy in Japan that unpixelate vdos but they are expensive!
What makes all this especially sad is that Japan has a centuries long history of sexual openness which included gay sex. Erotica in the form of explicit wood block prints called shunga were especially popular and seen everywhere. These leave nothing to the imagination and generally included enlarged penises in some form of insertion.
But then, after being closed from the world for nearly 250 years during the Shogun era, the west arrived in the form of the US navy, following in their wake an army of Christian missionaries/religious zealots who were shocked at such sexual freedoms, as they were also to note in many other parts of Asia and set to work changing them. Japan quickly realised that most things western were good, so attitudes to sex and displays of sexuality quickly changed.
It is all rather extraordinary in a country where a gazillion manga are bought and read by all sectors of society. Many of these have extremely explicit sexual drawings. Even more odd, there is a long standing culture in Japan that you see, but do not see! So the young lady standing on the commuter train may see a much older salaryman reading a very explicit manga with sexual images, but tradition means she does not really see it and it is forgotten. 
Given that so many of the young Japanese guys are so cute - as one can easily see on the several host bar websites (one example of just a few of the boys available at one Tokyo host bar below), it is really unfortunate that the hugely valuable gay porn industry is so handicapped. 

What I don't get is why not pay up it's not that big a sum of money for a millionaire and his partner. You shouldn't agree to something if you don't have the funds or willingness to pay up.

On the plus side at least it'll be harder for the next plague to leave China. For now...

The porn will migrate to onlyfans clones in other countries, instead of one company there will be many. You can't moralise and/or demonetise porn out of existence.

That's disturbing, but from what I've read so far Delta is more transmissible and so is edging Lambda out. However as Delta wanes it could supplant it as the next wave.
