Aside from not supporting X, is there any other advantage of using it? Is it like X, or are there differences?

Not too many. I used to treat myself once a year in my vacation. The massage was part of a vacation pampering day (I'd get a haircut, pedicure, manicure and massage). I "discovered" (or paid attention for the first time) to erotic massages last year, and at first I got one once a week, then I started being more picky, want the masseur to know what he's doing, so I now have a group of masseurs I contact about once or twice a month. I prefer quality in the experience rather than letting the appearance of the masseur be the driver of my decision. After all, a bad massage can hurt my body.

There's a flip side to that. I don't look "gringo" at all, and when I went to Rio, I was quite overlooked, neglected and ignored, actually. It's certainly not as great either. Getting too much attention for the wrong reasons or neglect and ignored for the same related reasons, both bad.

Lucky you. Sounds like fun. Good call walking away, if you ask me. In my overall experience, the vibe is always different when I go. Sometimes feels very attention-grabbing, and sometimes it feels like I am at the library. Can't wait. I arrive on a Saturday so that's going to be my welcome treat.

I know of some providers that have told me that they can be called at any day/time. Seems like some have ability to accommodate for different schedules. There's no harm in inquiring if the provider can accommodate for that time of the day.

Sorry to hear about that. I have had great times there, and the dancers have not been aggressive. However, I'm sure that the ones there now are not the same they had when I last went. I saw aggressiveness from some of the patrons, fighting for the dancer's attention, though. I'm going now in December. Hopefully I'll have as good experiences as I've had in the past.

In the Company of Men (1997) - IMDb WWW.IMDB.COM 1h 37m | R

If you are looking for the movie "Company of Men", yes. Happened to me, that's how I came across this website. I decided to stay, though. Feel free to explore and decide. No one can tell you if you are in the wrong place, just you.

Only one picture, last review was from 2018, same one picture for a long time, and of very poor quality. Nope, not for me.

I share the feeling. I am about to go vote today. Great idea. I'll have both.

People have gotten escorted out by security for being disruptive.

I wish I could say that it's surprising. The times we're living. In my town they cleaned up house a few years ago. Several non-profits that are supposed to help the community have been the center of scandals around racism, homophobia, embezzlement and sexual misconduct. Their reputation is questionable at best.

That was featured in the morning "news" yesterday in my local station. Didn't know that he has an OF. It makes sense now that they were focusing more on his crotch than the squirrel. Took me a minute to focus on the story. Owner of Instagram-famous squirrel says its seizure by state officials was ‘overkill’ WWW.NBCNEWS.COM Peanut the squirrel, an internet sensation that sparked an animal sanctuary in Pine City, N.Y., was euthanized after being seized from his home along with a raccoon, a...

Pictures that are current. A reasonable amount of pictures (one or two pictures, sometimes not even showing face doesn't cut it. I definitely agree with the "Ask" thing. Looking at the profile is asking. Applies to everything, not just pricing. Clarity in the description, doesn't look like a copy/paste from a wellness website. Consistency in the description, baffles me to see contradictory statements in the same profile. I don't mind age shaving for as long as it's not excessive (as per my own definition of excessive). Rules instead of boundaries. I am looking for a provider, not applying for a master's degree. Compatible with my taste and preferences in roles, look, what they are into. Gay as his sexual orientation. "Straight" is off-putting to me.

Why does liking and enjoying your job have to influence anything? You really expect people to be miserable at work? So he liked it. Is he not supposed to? Not sure what that's supposed to change.

Doesn't mean anything. I myself have been with quite a few people and don't have a single review anywhere in this world (that I know of). The only difference between many and that one person is that we have a clear idea about how many people that person has been with. Doesn't mean that a person with few or no reviews hasn't been with that many or more. It seems to be about perception and comfort, not about reality.

Absolutely not. Doing construction and maintenance work, based on your skills and interest in doing that work, and being coerced/solicited into sex work with a person that you don't like, and a person of a sexual orientation that is not yours, are quite far from being comparable. Exploitation can and does happen with both types of labor, but that's where the similarities end.

Yes, it makes sense.

Interesting, and I agree, but that's not the subject of my post. Yes, you can call yourself anything you want. I was talking about the legal aspects of the profession and the state requirements. I can perceive a little frustration, and have known some licensed massage therapists that express their frustration with so many unlicensed people who don't know what they are doing and are using that profession as cover for escorting. Has to be tough. I don't believe all clients are educated enough to make a good selection. I wasn't, and I'm not alone in that. What I see is that many licensed therapists work at medical offices that offer massage as part of physical therapy, those that are covered by insurance.

I see the same in the younger generation. It's a sad thing that they seem to think that ones own body is something that should be hidden, or that nudity means sex.

Like with most-to-all of the terminology (aka slang) that we use in this subculture, there isn't a specific definition for it. I have used that terms to characterize providers, with both good and bad connotations, also former and current coworkers, past managers, religious people, contractors, family members, supporters of the political party opposite to my preference, computers, criminals on the news, and media and literature characters. I guess "pig" is some kind of multipurpose term used in different contexts.

I had never gotten a thrill by rejecting or telling people off, although I [definitely] do know how to do it when I feel that the situation merits it. I normally progress from polite no, to a firm no, to NO!, to... depending on the setting. I know that my approach can be, and has been, a problem with predatory men who still seem to think that a polite no is flirting, but soon they find that it's not. I also make sure that my body language matches my words of rejection. I do remember in the early days of social media, I learned about this couple who had in their profile: "We have rejected thousands of requests for friendship and access to our private pictures", as if that's supposed to be some kind of badge of honor. That made me change my profile to include "If you are one of those 'I'll block you if you are this, I'll block you if you like that' kind of people, do me a favor and block me. I have no time for your petty bullshit". Suddenly there were several profiles that "disappeared" (sure I was blocked), but there was also a noticeable increase in friends requests. I never understand that thrill of publicly rejecting people. Not sure I want to understand it either.

I guess it depends on how you word it in your profile. According to the Associated Bodywork & Massage Professionals website, Then they list a link to states and their particular regulations. That makes it illegal for anyone who doesn't meet the state requirements to call themselves a Licensed Massage Therapist. Keyword: licensed. Apparently is OK to just call yourself a Massage Therapist.

Sorry that it happened to you, but glad that you saw right through it. It could have been worse.

[Some] Scammers seem to think that sending pictures like that increase their credibility, where the reality is that it's one of the biggest red flags. Any person in their right mind will never send a picture of his child to a stranger.
