HiAlessandro, thank you for your availability! We read many reviews of you as a reliable gigolo and escort [click here https://www.gigolo.cloud/bologna/mastergiacon], so I would like to start our chat by immediately asking you what is the so-called inner engine - that something, and who knows, that someone - that approached you and led you to embark on your professional journey. “Hi Giulia! At a certain point in my life, I found myself no longer enjoying what I was experiencing... everything had become a burden for me. It was then that I made a difficult decision to give up everything I had in order to embark on a path of my own, one that would satisfy my desire for freedom and to do something meaningful for myself and also for those close to me. This path led me to share with other men/women one of my greatest passions, namely sexuality. Sexuality which is the creative energy of the world, as it is the fundamental ingredient to give rise to human existence and beyond. I realised that there are too many taboos and that they are often the cause of the unhappiness of quite a few individuals, who are unable to live a full and fulfilling sexual life. Personally - having had a few taboos since I was a child - I told myself that I could do something for people and so here I am trying to open the minds of human beings and trying to make them realise how a healthy and full sexuality can be of great importance to all of us (and how, instead, an empty and superficial sexuality can be a huge problem)”.      

Known as Master Giacon, you emphasised that this is not just a stage name for you but an identity [click here https://mastergiacon.com/]. So how would you currently describe your personality and what colour would you metaphorically associate with it? And as a child, what did you (perhaps) imagine you would devote yourself to once you became an adult? “I am the most open-minded person I know (or, at least, I try to be). I constantly strive to understand every point of view, without judging, as I am convinced that every perspective is valid and useful in order to reach an overall vision that allows one to connect with people in a profound and fulfilling way. If I had to choose a colour that suited my personality, I would say green because - in the East - it is associated with the heart chakra and I always try to put love into everything I do... sometimes it seems difficult and almost impossible to believe that it exists in a universal sense, for everything in creation, but I have experienced it many times and I know how beautiful it is to reside in such a state. As a child, I was not very imaginative, I was very introverted and had difficulty socialising (I was often on the computer, playing games)... I also never imagined myself in any role or in any specific situation, but I only knew that I wanted to be happy and this was and is possible also thanks to my parents for whom it never mattered who I was or what I did, but that I was happy.

How much and in what way have the geographical and social environment (including the family environment) and the era in which you live, as well as the early inputs you received during childhood and adolescence, been and are a source of inspiration and determinant for your private and professional life? “I was born and grew up in a small, rather closed village in the Veneto countryside... there is a very strong inclination to consume alcohol there and this is also because the entertainment there is based on it. In my childhood I always found it hard to really socialise, as I found the entertainment of my peers to be little fun for me. It was difficult to socialise and although I never understood how one could entertain oneself by being in a pub or a bar for so many hours, I did it myself for a long time - out of boredom. When I was very young I was a partner in my family's construction company and, when I finished work, I would go straight to drinking with friends (as everyone did). I only realised later that this was the way I was trying to escape from such an unfulfilling life. The time when I felt most alive and most myself was when I went to various events in the Bologna area and, for example, to the Decadence nightclub. It was precisely Decadence that made me grow so much in terms of sexuality and helped me to live it to the full, step by step. That was how I came to get tired of my routine and realise that I could do something better than escaping, in the moments when I had free time, from everyday reality. So I moved to Bologna, until I believed in myself enough to try to place an ad as a gigolo. Right away, I stopped drinking and smoking because I had reached a state of true happiness... what I was doing was a fundamental ingredient of my own happiness.

What does Art represent for you, what do you mean by it, and what do you consider to be its main merit and power? Also - in all of this - memories and oblivion, empathy and knowledge, planning and design, experimentation and daring, rationality and instinct, how much and in what way are they relevant... at least as far as you are concerned? “Art represents, for me, the human expression of beauty and I have an idea that its merit is that it is able to connect individuals thousands of kilometres apart. I then think that beauty is subjective, although sometimes it is so high that it becomes almost objective. Empathy, in what I do, is one of the most important ingredients... trying to really connect with the people I hang out with is what I've worked on and studied a lot for (instinct is, however, also key). Sometimes we block our perceptions for fear of invading other people's intimacy but often, when we abandon our fears and put ourselves out there, we can make a difference. I'm not much of a planner, I'm more the type who goes with the flow of events and this although it is essential to help it, with our actions, to go in the way that suits us best”.

How important do you think - especially in the career of a public figure - is image and why? Do you think that image can and should effectively convey emotional and intellectual meanings, a commitment to a certain “quid”, psychological meanings concerning oneself and those with whom one interfaces, and that it is an indicator of truth? “I - not being a fan of social media and the image often being conveyed mainly through social media - do not have a so-called constructed profile, but always give real feedback about myself... I am a very open person and I am constantly trying to remove all the masks I see myself wearing. Often the image itself, for many people, is not an indicator of truth as there are those who tend to modify their photos with filters... I think, nevertheless, that it is very useful to use one's exterior to convey what one considers important and what one believes in.

Blest I induce you to any prreductive and caging categorisation, from your point of view, what is and how ryou know Love (whether you tracts of self-love, for other perpeople and animals, for ideas and ideals, forr situations, places, activities and moreror evenra)? Have you ever incorI know in a relation and, if so, in the capacity of a manipulatedrand or manipulated? “When I found myself in a state of true love, I could feel love for anything unconditionally and I believe that unconditionality is one of the fundamental ingredients of such feeling. If you love for a reason, it is often because you need that something you “like” and so you end up loving mainly out of opportunism. The fact that one cannot give to others what one does not have within oneself, for me, is a self-evident truth... that is, one cannot truly love someone if one does not first love oneself and, consequently, existence. Yes, I have been in a toxic relationship and felt manipulated but I hope I never did it myself. I always try to stay very far away from the mechanisms of manipulation, which I have studied and then worked out how to avoid. Often, being a very empathetic person, I am the perfect “food” for narcissists and manipulators... I am of the opinion, however, that it does not really matter which side you are on because, when entering into a toxic situation, the manipulator suffers as much as the manipulated and sometimes even more than the manipulated (since the manipulation is carried out because of a great personal and inner lack).

Yours are the words: “My aptitude for bdsm was revealed in pre-adolescence, I was always attracted to anything involving pain and pleasure... so - as I grew up - I cultivated this passion of mine and gave it a professional form through books and lectures of international standing and by sharing it first-hand with friends and girlfriends in progressively more intense parties, performances and events. It therefore arises to me to ask what relationship you consider freedom, resilience and boldness. What do pleasure and pain respectively mean, according to your sensibility, and in what form and through what modality do you prefer (most often and in a hypothetical ideal condition) to enjoy them?“Freedom is an essential ingredient in my growth and in my current life... the moment I don't feel free, I tend to run away from the situations I am in (if I can't change them). Resilience - like freedom - is also important to me and I have even learnt a very nice new term, which I think is an evolution of resilience itself, namely anti-fragility... it is the ability not only to resist and survive, to take the blows but also to become stronger because of what you experience. And keep in mind that pleasure and pain, when used in their own way, also create a state of anti-fragility in that one can derive enjoyment from a feeling of suffering”.  

What do you assume is your most ingrained peculiarity and what do you assume are the characteristics most appreciated by your customers and those you work with? “My peculiarity is my empathic ability and the related ability to listen and to be able to make people feel safe. I have a strong ability to connect with other human beings and show myself without fear... this often leads others to do the same and this is really the foundation on which everything I do is built. Without real connection there is no real pleasure. The gentleness that characterises me, which is something unusual to find connected to what I do, is also a strength of mine”.

I know that you were part, as a teacher, of Rocco Siffredi's 1st Women's Hard Academy team... since you stated that <>,would you like to tell us what most excited and surprised you (and what you now carry with you) about this experience? There is then, in additionrand the aforementioned Rocco, someone you particularly appreciate and with whom you would like to work in the near future? “The most beautiful and surprising thing about taking part in the 1st Women's Hard Academy was to see the passion that Rocco puts into what he does, despite his almost forty-year career... I really hope I can, like him, continue to love what I do for so long. What surprised me, however, was noticing that the actors, before the set, do not socialise with each other... for me, on the contrary, socialisation is fundamental and an integral part of the pleasure and fun that I can then have within this. Certainly, sooner or later, I would like to work with the production company Kink.com (although I have never sent in an application)”.

Nowadays, would you willingly or unwillingly participate in any reality show - and what is your opinion inherent potential of social networks and on the possible reasons why, in our present age, we are increasingly witnessing a proliferation of would-be “influencers”? By OnlyFans what do you think and how do you use it? “I would only participate in some reality shows if I were free to express myself to the fullest and without censorship... but this unfortunately, to my knowledge, does not happen in any of them. The potential of social networks is as great as their danger of undermining people's happiness. There is a misconception that the more people are followed on social, the more interesting they are. However, there are people with a lot of followers who are only good at sponsoring themselves but who, when they are then put to the test in practice, are of no real value, and so I wonder if influencers really do influence something or not. I see some people with 200,000 followers who, when they attend events, do not bring any additional followers, i.e. no one more than the normal clientele of the venue attends anyway. Onlyfans is a great channel to be able to share what you can't share on Instagram and Just For Fans, although not yet as much as I would like, is very open.  

Do you think destiny exists and, if so, on what terms? Have you ever wondered about the subsistence of evil in the world in relation to the alleged goodness, omnipresence, omniscience and omnipotence attributed by human beings to the divinity and its actions (i.e. on the question of Theodicy)?“I am of the opinion that destiny exists and that we can influence it with our choices, for better or for worse... in my opinion, we are the creators of our reality (our actions make a difference to our world and also to the world of others). What I see, with regard to spirituality, is that we are all part of the same One... people are mirrors, reflecting what we have inside that we often don't want to admit - they are part of us. Religions are different points of view, each trying to talk about the same thing, sometimes being interpreted unwise. I believe that it is really difficult to find true spirituality by unanimously following the same path, as every living person is unique and inimitable, and we experience each other differently. I often think about the evil in the world and in fact, through my actions, I try to spread as much love as possible... if there was more love, there wouldn't be all the evil there is. I know it sounds a bit hippie and I am a bit of a hippie myself, but the maxim to make love and not war seems to me to be one of the wisest I have ever read and it reflects well on my own life... by resolving conflicts, I focus my energies on love and sexuality made of love.   

Finally, before saying goodbye, would you like to share with us if you have some news in the pipeline in the near future and some longer-term projects? “My first project is to continue to make my contribution in the world, as best I can, by travelling and trying to make a difference to the people I meet. I then have many other plans for the future, all focused on reaching as many people as possible, even those who cannot afford to pay for my company and advice, but I prefer not to give too many details about that yet. One sentence I have read is that <> and that is one of the things I am working on... I will try to bring people to self-awareness and pleasure without asking for anything in return.
