Just watched Down Low. Yeah not an Oscar contender but I really enjoyed it as fun. Loved Lukas Gage, who also wrote it.

The only place I have been to in Morocco is Marrakech, about a dozen years ago.. We went because an old friend threw a milestone birthday party for himself, and invited friends and family from around the world to join him (he rented two riads in the medina for all his guests). Since it was a mixed group, there was no gay sexual hankypanky, so I can't speak to that scene, but the setting was as exotic as any I have ever experienced, right out of an old black-and-white movie from the 1930s. I would gladly go back, if only for the food.

Try to stay in Airbnb.  U basically check yourself.in with a code.  No one cares.  Get a small 2br for less than a hotel.  Ask the guide of that take care of the two men in one room problem

Not sure if you are taking side trips - but if you go through Albuquerque - you need to head up to Santa Fe for at least a day/overnight.

It sounds like in this case the masseur takes the right approach by only scheduling appointments when the roommate is not home i.e. the functional equivalent of a dedicated space for the duration of the session. As long as nobody else is coming or going or present, that sounds fine to me. Also, he did the right thing by alerting you ahead of time. I agree, you should reschedule for a time that he has the privacy to offer you all the services you want, in an atmosphere you want.
A few of my workspace peeves:
Rule 1) no other people in/around your work space, or hanging around outside of it. The client shouldn’t encounter anyone besides a neighbor or doorman or stranger on the street or in a hall or lobby. Certainly not the masseur’s significant other, family, or friends.
Rule 2) no pets in/around your workspace. People have allergies and pets are distracting, even the most well behaved ones. Who wants a dog licking your feet or whimpering for attention in the next room or a masseur snapping their fingers or raising their voice to ask their cat to exit the room? Or worse, the pet jumps on the massage table. One of my clients told me he visited someone else and the masseur set out a glass of water for the client, upon request. The cat started lapping from the glass during the massage. I don’t blame the client for feeling weird about that.
Rule 3) provide a dedicated workspace
Rule 4) provide a sufficient buffer in between appointments so that clients will not cross paths on their way in/out.
These are just some of the problems with working out of the same place you live. If you live with other people, you must have a division of space that offers complete privacy, with a separate entrance and 100% dedicated bathroom. A client should never feel like their privacy is at risk or that they are being monitored.
One of my favorite masseurs worked out of his apartment and he had clients coming and going through his living room, which functioned as a waiting area. Appointments were back to back, no buffer, so you often saw his previous client leaving before you went in, and again in reverse on your way out. His partner lived separately at the time but was frequently in the living room too. So weird. It never bothered me, but I can’t imagine a lot of my clients would ever put up with that. Good thing his massage is so good. For him, I would have the appointment on the street in the middle of Times Square if it suited him. He is just that good. 

I haven't done a trip like that but your itinerary looks much more logical than some of the ones that are posted in RM... lol.  You could do it the way some providers evidently do it:
NYC, NY Boise, ID Pensacola, FL Duluth, MN Riverside, CA Barrow, AK Leadville, CO And with a one day stop in Kinshasa between your day in Duluth and your day in Riverside.

This is not a good provider. The professionals are dedicated to their craft, in tune with and concerned with fulfilling the client’s needs. Not trying to save 15 mins here or there. Certainly not with gags like colored lube. That stuff comes around to bite you. Hire professionals.

Paul Cadmus Paintings:
 They allow people a way to gasp in public but, masturbate to their inner fantasies in their mind… 
 The images can be viewed, and the viewer can participate by reacting anyway chosen, but, how they really feel about it in their mind is still left private. These are so wonderfully playful, and the viewer participation that can take place is sublime but compelling. The imagery is Provocative yet, simultaneously disarming if not casually inviting… pass the stuffing and gravy please~

I feel a lot of prostates in the course of my work. A LOT. I know my way around and what’s normal and what isn’t.
I’m no doctor and I do not offer medical advice, but I do note abnormalities and bring them up to clients after their session to recommend getting checked. Not just prostate issues but dermatological ones and chiropractic ones too.
Should any of you need a “preliminary exam”, you know where to find me! 😉 While I am there, I make sure everything is working ok…

Back in your hidey hole!  🙂

Depending if you can reach the spot, Aspercreme roll-on has helped with the aches from flair-up’s with sciatica and pulled muscles.  Over-the-counter in the US.

I had an MT recently pull one out and while it felt great, I asked him if we could put it away and stick with regular Swedish massage. 
if it’s just for a minute or two it’s fine - but whether it’s a legit MT or a rentmasseur type MT, I’m hiring a massage guy - not a toy I could buy on Amazon. Touch is the point.

I'm hiring the masseur for his hands, not a Theragun.

You never know how a group of gay men will respond to something.     Interesting answers.    I chuckled.

I don’t take any booking that is at short notice. Too bad if they miss out, it’s their problem not mine. I get clients who ask 4 or 5 times “hey are you available now / in the next hour or whatever” and each time I have to say “no sorry, it’s best to book in advance if possible” because I’m not available. They eventually stop asking for short notice and book ahead or they go away. 

We were able to win custody

if you’ve been to India - you would not make that statement 

I’d steer clear of any significant OF creator - why would they meet average people when they make more money filming with other hot people ?  If it looks like someone just dabbles in OF, then that’s different
i continue to be surprised at some here that set themselves up for obvious impending disappointment.  Take the easier & proven option - hires guys that meet with average type clients & make a living doing so.  Not complicated. 

To be meaningful, reviews need to include facts as well as opinions. “It was good” or “Waste of time” are not descriptive enough. Focus on facts about your experience.
A few negative points:
Tardiness, poor atmosphere such as TV on, loud noises, other people present, bad smells, unclean spaces, clutter, distractions like the provider constantly checking phone, leaving the room during the massage, unskilled work, inappropriate massage equipment like mattress on the floor, cutting your time short, rudeness, uninvited discussions of politics or religion or conspiracy theories, etc. Provider says or does something racist, sexist, transphobic, homophobic, xenophobic, etc. Charging more than agreed upon rates (assuming no upselling). High pressure upselling behavior. Violence, threats, stalking, not showing up, ghosting, failing to communicate, doesn’t look like his photos, photos are outdated by many years, inaccurate massage description, etc…
These are just some of many things you could say in a review to make it more meaningful. Giving 1-4 stars with little or no commentary means almost nothing.
Positive reviews also need concrete details to be meaningful. Focus on facts as well as how the experience made you feel.
A few positive points:
Technical skills are as expected or better, starts on time, unrushed, friendly demeanor, accurate photos and descriptions, goes the whole time, uses appropriate equipment and supplies, accommodates client needs, space is clean, inviting, relaxing, private, safe, tidy, etc. Restroom and shower are available, provider offers water, smell in the space is neutral or pleasant, temperature is comfortable, etc…
Find what made your experience positive and write that. 5 stars means nothing other than the client presumably enjoyed it. The reason he enjoyed it could simply be that the provider was hot or got him off, or offered a discount, or 5 stars means to the client: perfectly adequate and meets expectations. Other clients reserve 5 stars only for truly excellent service. 4 stars is still positive.
Whatever you rate, explain with as much focus on facts as possible why you chose the rating you did. Then explain how the experience made you feel.
For RentMen, these are a bit of a reach considering most clients provide little to no descriptive feedback. For masseur sites, you get a wider variety.
Reviews are only as meaningful as the context they offer. Weigh each review accordingly.

With hotels (and any kind of business like that) I find that I get a lot of flexibility if I can make friends with the people on the desk. There’s a couple of hotels I use for filming (I know, it’s quite different from staying overnight - these are day use rooms booked from say 11am to 5pm). I see  some of the same people on the desk each time I use it. I get friendly with them: ask how they are, wait patiently while they do the check in, use their name (it’s on their badge). A few times they’ve assigned me a room that’s inappropriate for filming (not much space, bad angles etc) and I’ve asked to change it. Obviously I don’t say “can I have a more porn shoot suitable room please?” 😂, but I make some issue about the light or noise and ask nicely if they have another room. They always help! These people have to deal with all sorts of awkward customers every day so it’s good to be really nice and they remember it and reciprocate. If you can build up a relationship with them it’s amazing what ‘rules’ can be flexed to make life easier. 

As an employee in a prestigious business university, I will answer a bit differently...it's not a question of 'whether college is still worth it' ; it's a question of whether the potential student 'is worth college'. 
I hate to keep saying it, but the majority of this current generation who are ready to enter college or currently attending college is not mature enough nor responsible enough to attend college. So the answer is - no, college is not 'worth it' because this generation is not capable of getting any worth out of college. 
I would love to invite all of you to work by my side for one day. You wouldn't believe what I - and my colleagues - have to deal with on a day to day basis. And yes, I blame the parents - for coddling them and babying them.
