I laughed when I saw this but I’m stocking up too.

I’m strictly a client but if I read positive reviews about a provider in my area (DC/Baltimore) or get emails detailing his quality of service, it increases the likelihood that I will hire him above others for whom I have no firsthand information. It doesn’t necessarily “make” him as a provider, but it might help him if I spread the word after hiring. As for “breaking” a provider, I’m reluctant to post a negative review for general consumption but will provide negative information in a DM.

I’ve been to a few erotic massage providers multiple times and I sometimes wonder whether they even remember having seen me before. Do providers keep records on their clients? Do they know before we meet up what I like, what we did last time, whether it was fun? What *do* providers keep track of, if anything?

Just watched the first episode. The show is getting uncomfortably close to reality.

I’d probably feel self-conscious. I want to see everyone else’s flaws if they’re going to see mine.

I should have been more specific, I guess. In the cases I was describing, even the sensual elements were predictable. I definitely agree and understand that the therapeutic aspects have to be somewhat routine so that everything is covered.

I’ve never noticed a change in friendliness from a provider but I have noticed increased distraction during sessions and a change in what one of my old providers offered during those sessions. In my case the provider was also increasingly involved in porn/OF/JFF. He checked his phone a lot and I suspected that he was trying to schedule filming sessions with other content providers, and he stopped letting me make him cum, which he admitted was because he was “saving up” for a film session. I get that he was trying to make it in the film world but it *was* disappointing for me since the sessions were no longer as fun as they were before. I often wonder if he made it in porn though I see he’s still doing massage.

You’ve beautifully—and poetically—captured the feeling.

I had to shave mine down and resubmit it multiple times before it met the size limits. I’ve never had to do that for any other site.

When I’ve booked several massages from the same provider over a period of time I’ve noticed that the sequence of strokes/events is the same every time so that it becomes predictable. I suspect that these providers have a set routine that they go through and it’s the same for every client. My favorite current provider varies what he does so I never know what’s going to happen, just that it’s going to be hot.

For me therapeutic massage is primarily temporary muscle loosening and stress relief. When I’m at a nice hotel, getting a massage at the hotel spa is also an indulgence. I know the benefits of the massages I get are fleeting but I still enjoy the experience. Erotic massages serve additional purposes, of course.

I have no talent myself but would love to pose. I think it would be a turn-on if it was a bunch of naked guys doing the sketches.

You’ve got talent

That third leg is pretty impressive too.

Depends on your perspective

I find the discussion of fees to be too awkward and tend to avoid it, even when a discount is advertised, so I usually prepare to pay their full advertised rate plus a generous tip if it’s a good session. I may end up missing an opportunity to save some money but it’s not that much in the end.

Excellent show. The medical jargon gets a little overwhelming but it doesn’t get in the way of the plot and character development. I’ve watched all of the episodes that have been released so far and the most recent ones are intense and very moving. The cast is terrific.

We can all imagine what’s under that hat.

I actually have some of his music on my (now ancient) ipod.

The excitement gave me a fucking heart attack.

I sleep with an extra pillow that helps keep my arm elevated to ease pain in my shoulder. It could just as well be a large teddy bear.

IMHO, if you are paying for someone’s time, they should be devoting 100% of that time to whatever it is you hired them for. If I discovered that a guy I had hired was on Grindr on *my* time I’d shove his ass out the door and refuse to pay him.

One would think so. Did he charge you extra?

I would love to be able to swim naked but most hotels frown on that kind of thing….I do enjoy a naked spell in a hotel spa jacuzzi that’s men-only. I’ve found that when presumably straight guys see a naked guy in there, though, they head for the exit.

I’ve never done it but that’s because being strangled by a wet T-Shirt is uncomfortable to me. I guess I might start covering up in the pool the first time some kid points at me and yells “Mommy, look! That guy has manboobs!” I admit that they’re starting to develop but no one has commented. Yet.
