The common feminist narrative (in a rather Nietzschean move) denigrates sexual desire and reduces rape to a will to power. Rape as reproduction strategy or a sexual kink seems more plausible to me. Why would younger women be preferred to weaker older women? Why are younger woman more likely to be raped by robbers? Sexual desire better explains the pattern does a will to power.

I'm not even opposed to the idea that domination is mixed in with sexual desire. I just disagree with the formulation that denies that sexual desire is a critical part of the explanation.

If RM wants to suppress negative reviews to help their main customers (masseurs), they can give masseurs total control over what reviews are published (which I believe is how masseurfinder works) along with a tiny disclaimer stating that they are "testimonials" rather than reviews.

Even taken at face value, post-hoc rationalizations (some of which highlight sexual desire) don't explain why rapists prefer young, sexually attractive people. The biologically-grounded explanation is much more plausible to me than the common social science explanations. Steven Pinker: "I believe that the rape-is-not-about-sex doctrine will go down in history as an example of extraordinary popular delusions and the madness of crowds. It is preposterous on the face of it, does not deserve its sanctity, is contradicted by a mass of evidence, and is getting in the way of the only morally relevant goal surrounding rape, the effort to stamp it out."

Attacking their claims because they're two old white men is cheap ad hominem, but apparently that's all you have to refute their core claim about sexual attractiveness being the primary motivator.

I've noticed that v1 has gone offline multiple times since the switch to v2 (perhaps while they're working on the site). v1 probably won't be around for much longer.

Power facilitates sexual assault (e.g., Harvey Weinstein, Sean Combs, etc.) but it is not the primary motivation: "In the 1975 bestselling book: Against Our Will, the feminist writer, Susan Brownmiller, asserted that “rape is about power, not sex.” Ever since, the conventional wisdom has been that rapists are misogynistic men seeking domination and power over women, not violent men seeking sex. However, there is a fundamental problem with Brownmiller’s bold assertion. In the ensuing 45 years, there has been no significant empirical research to support her claim. Yet, almost everyone repeats it. In examining eight years of FBI data on 250,000 rapes and other sexual assaults, one factor stands head-and-shoulders above the others: the age range of the victims. Herein lies the key to unlocking the mystery of the offender’s motivation. Social science has demonstrated a strong relationship between age and sexual attractiveness... Studying the ages of victims, therefore, provides an opportunity to examine sexual motivation. If rapists are primarily motivated by the desire for power and domination, then one would expect them to prefer middle-aged, career women. However, if rapists primarily desire sex, then one would expect them to prefer young women and men. Our research demonstrates that offenders almost always attack the young. The percentage of female victims who are over 50 is close to zero. Similarly, in male prisons, where women are extremely scarce, heterosexual men target the youngest inmates. ...Women rarely engage in sexual assault – they make up 3% of the offenders – but when they do commit sexual assaults, they most often target 15-year-olds. A power motive can’t explain why both male and female offenders prefer young victims. Only a sexual motive can do the job. ...An analysis of whether female robbery victims are sexually assaulted during the incident suggests that the sexual attractiveness of young people is an important factor. Since the robber has already established dominance over a vulnerable victim, the effects of opportunity and vulnerability are removed, and only the effect of the offender’s age preference remains. In such cases, robbers are much more likely to rape victims between the ages of 15 and 29—the years when women (and men) tend to be the most sexually attractive. Only a sexual motive can account for this pattern. ...Also, men who commit sexual assault tend to be considerably older than men who commit other types of violent crimes. The relatively high rate of sexual offending by older men is likely due to the fact that they have become less attractive with age while their sexual attraction to young people is undiminished. The men and women they find most attractive are not attracted to them. Some of them use force to get their way. ...Any explanation of sexual assault must account for why gay men commit the crime at least as often as straight men. It must explain why offenders, regardless of age and gender, overwhelmingly target young people."

MT=Masculine Top. Deceptive advertising is common, which is why you want a CMT (Certified Masculine Top) if that's your preference.

At least you received a reply. A number of masseurs I've contacted to get basic information read my message and then don't bother replying despite the profile saying "ask" about rates and availability.

How does someone have no reviews after so long? Does he block everyone?

Wishlist (v1) is now Favorites (v2).

The drug-addled thug in prison is the guy you should be contacting to provide some help.

Interesting name.

My 2 cents. Therapeutic=strictly platonic massage (commonly with some professional training), hourly rate up to $140. Sensual=nude massage with MT, HE option, hourly rate up to $200. Erotic=optional massage (which is usually bad), escort-type experience, hourly rate $200+.

Federal prosecutors have a 90%+ conviction rate, but Combs is a celebrity. Case is listed as: UNITED STATES OF AMERICA V. SEAN COMBS, a/k/a "Puff Daddy," a/k/a "P. Diddy," a/k/a "Diddy," a/k/a "PD," a/k/a "Love," Defendant. What will his convict name be?

We now know that he's a violent thug however you regard his look (I'd swipe left). Was the victim attracted to a dangerous bad boy, prone to downplay any signs of erratic behavior, being extorted, or something else? Murders are usually committed by someone known to the victim, so I also find it interesting that there were many texts between them and yes, he did not seem like the sort of person that a surgeon would typically socialize with, which would be a reason for the police to dig deeper.

Unless you want to look like a genderless dragon.

Tattoos serve to highlight the effects of aging on the skin.

That's too broad for me. After getting burned, I will only consider Asians and Columbians with a good track record.

Don't know if it's a majority but fraud (fake pics, no massage ability, stealing, etc.) seems to be more common in newer ads by Asians and Columbians.
