    river got a reaction from Otto in NYC_Twink   
    Let me preface my experience to say I am always friendly, clean, dressed casual professional and never pushy, etc. No reason for him to conduct himself the way he did.
    He could not have been any more removed from our session. I should have left midway.

    There are some flattering comments about him on his Friendboy profile: https://friendboy.pro/boys/BishopL
    Have not met him myself, but you may want to take a look there. ?

    river got a reaction from Daniel84 in is Brooklyn to far to get a massage?   
    My office is in Times Square area...so I wish every masseur was in HK. All kidding aside though, unfortunately it is the time factor for me. As opposed to HK area, it would be too stressful for me knowing that after the massage I have to hope train arrives on time and i get back to office within reasonable timeframe. Not sure how many others are like me where I can only get a massage during a long lunch.
    Hope to meet you at some point!

    THIS. One of the few threads where everyone makes solid points, but Stu synthesizes all the emotional intelligence shown by many others here.
     
    Ya, rescheduling happens all the time, but not 'on-the-fly' for professional appointments like, say, for a dentists' appointment or a job interview. Many forget escort/masseur appointments are similar because the service provided is intimate and the communication informal. You don't get to text your doctor an hour before your 5pm, "Hey, can we do 30 minutes early?" then "Actually, 40 minutes early." You might check in, but you likely wouldn't ask to be seen 30 minutes early, then just announce "I'll be there at 4:20" as if assuming they should be ready.
     
    A 40 min difference in prep time *might* be the difference between you having a good and a crap one, depending on what else if going on in the escort's day that you don't know about. Good providers give professional service in an personal way *that hides the professionalism* and the transactional reality of this service. If meeting at 5, there's a list of things to do -- hidden from the client -- to create conditions for magic to happen: showering, cleaning up, meditating, Viagra timing, erasing from your psyche the weirdo you met with earlier...whatever. On top of day-to-day responsibilities, errands, and self care (like eating lunch). And as Stu points out, Rentmen don't have waiting rooms, receptionists, and assistants to help out. We do it all.
     
    Most try to be accommodating, but in a poor moment I've gotten snippy with a well-meaning client who was the last straw in a pile of flakes, time wasters, and others who constantly devalue our time. That reaction is not okay; patience is required for this work, period. I just wish more clients were mindful that, like any other livelihood, our schedules are not endlessly flexible and the magic usually doesn't just happen out of thin air even when the best make it seem so. Probably most who need to hear that aren't on this forum.
     
    I also agree with those who think sharing the alleged verbatim contents of a private escort interaction is inappropriate and unnecessary. It's dangerously close to a review, which is not allowed here.

    I have learned from experience to never suggest that I might be early. Too much pressure for the provider. Unlike business meetings and doctor offices, it is not as though they have a waiting area. They are a one-man show with a lot to do...eating, showering, cleaning up and prepping table or bed. It is such a personal service that I want them as relaxed as possible.

    My concern, which existed prior to corona, is the cradle on some massage tables. Specifically, the cloth ones.
    I often wonder if the fabric retains the germs of someone who was on the table right before me and had some type of cold, virus, etc. This concerns me more in the wintertime than the rest of the year. BTW, my favorite type of table is the one with a built-in face cut-out. Anybody else have these weird thoughts?

    Agree 100%. The sites are just a forum. It's masseurs and clients who need to make the decision to opt out right now. I've personally made the decision to not book anything until this mess passes. That said, browsing massage ads even now is something I enjoy doing. Nothing wrong with a little fantasy ;-)

    Too many crushes to count. When I fall for a guy, I try to stay loyal for as long as I can. There is a hindrance. The more you get to know about the masseur, the easier it is to fall out of love. That's the problem mixing fantasy with reality and all the good feelings that come with massage. In the end, I never met a massage therapist that I wanted to marry. So like most crushes, they're fleeting, and we move on to the next one.

    rogerG, that was really well said. You summed it up exactly right. Even though that has happened to me a few times and I fully feel/understand the logic of what you described, I am confident it will still happen to me again.

    I'm neither panicked nor paranoid. Data drives my decisions and my discussions as much as possible. I'm human and therefore prone to emotional responses and decisions, but I am fairly well grounded in data and plan to stay that way. All non-vulnerable people should be limiting travel as much as possible in the short-term. Once we finally get enough testing capacity to really see what community spread is looking like, then we can adjust and adapt. Vulnerable populations should self quarantine if they're able to do so. Look at the latest data from California, the majority of cases are 18-64 and community spread is significant. If people can't, they need to be very aware of their hand hygiene and social distance while out and about. Here are a couple articles about why extreme social distancing is so important right now:
