Just watched the season 5 opener. I think the creators have a plan to finish the story in a way that will be satisfying to the viewers who have stayed with it. Meanwhile, Jane Adams and Lauren Weedman are both back this season! If Harriet Harris shows up again, I can die a happy man. Reading through the entirety of this thread, I wonder if early naysayers came around?

British Sports Massage...? Like, specifically for Cricket injuries, or he uses Marmite -scented oil?

The very notion that this woman sees herself fit for public office is so ... now... 🤣

Just started watching the new dysfunctional family comedy from Dan Levy, BIG MISTAKES. It's very fast-moving, full of (skillfully portrayed) irritating characters, lots of shouting and physical comedy. Laurie Metcalf said she accepted the matriarch role before seeing the script, simply having Levy's genius behind it, and her instincts were correct and she's awesome as always. Dan plays a closeted minister, and is still irresistible. Writing is solid, and always feels like real conversation with crosstalk, and direction also in alignment with the general chaos. The producers all have cred - shows like Schitt's Creek, Dead To Me, Nurse Jackie, The Diplomat. Curious about reactions here.

Are you certain that he has no close friends among employees that you still work with? At worst, he may tell someone you know, who can now picture you as the client who likes to "_____" I learned early in my career about not interlacing work with my sex life, and worked with plenty of people who did - showbiz, etc - and it's not when it's going on, it's once it's over where shit goes down. Your buddy may be a lousy masseur with too little experience. Ir he may be great. If you live in a big market, save him for later - his skills can improve, and you can see how seriously he takes his work if the ad stays up and reviews tend toward the positive, before hiring. But if you do reach out, be upfront. He may have his own policy about not mixing past and present worklife.

There are absolutely times when eating a pear, I will be subtly reminded of an evening at the glory hole in the basement of the Nob Hill...

Moderate to Severe is LiabilitySpeak for "Good luck"

PnP plus Animal means I'd need a rabies shot beforehand.

You know what's a nice touch? A spotless, well-set-up bathroom for before/after showering. Provide a clean washcloth, new toothbrush, access to toothpaste, mouthwash, and then wrap your guest in a towel just pulled out of the dryer.

Can you afford to miss the connecting flight? In spite of planning, one glitch in weather, transportation, provider's responsibility, and you could get stuck and on the hook for another ticket.

I bet you picked yours for character, didn't you? And where did it get you? On the train to Reno! L'amour, etc etc...

There will always be attention whores, in addition to the other more practical kind. Some (possibly straight) guys who have no intention of any interaction will post paid membership ads for locations where no one will know them on sight, but they get a thrill (or a laugh with the bros) knowing there's interest.

Have you spent a lot of time in NYC already, or will this move be your first time beyond like, a 3-day weekend? It's such an exciting place to be! All kinds of exotic fragrances in the air, come summer - some considered to be definitive of the city. Hope you find an affordable, friendly place!

Just a heads up, be prepared to offer an arm, a leg, and possibly a kidney.

Reference the ad for erotic massage, including by addressing him by the name used in that ad, if it's not the same as his legit service name. If he really wants to not offer you erotic massage, you can't stop him. Just move on.

This brand caters to the men who have a lot of flesh (altered, inflated or naturally plump) to pack into their trousers. Wildman

The business model is that the Provider can be the blank canvas on which the Client's individual fantasy will come to life. Perhaps providers suspect that some potential clients might see their words as flaws in the canvas.

Tiger who, now?

Literally everybody and anybody can leave reviews for literally everything and anyone providing goods and/or services. Our Providers are simply subject to this broader trend, just like professors, dry cleaners, actors, gynos, and especially actors who play gynos. Some critiques may be really helpful, but these days, it's never unfair to assume a reviewer may possibly have bad intent.

Who will not be forgotten, you say?

I listen almost exclusively to covers. It's just the nature of classical music written before stereophonic sound.

Why does the media grant pro athletes "role model" status at all? They are good at one thing, and can be failures with every other decision they make, just like the rest of us. If he is sentenced to correctional custody, mandatory treatment, or just gets whatever-celebrity-slap-on-the-wrist-du-jour, for his deliberate choice to drive under influence, the world will be a better place if he's just ignored by the public until his death.

At a spa, the bodyworkers are usually hourly/daily wage-eating employees, with taxes withheld. Most legit ops require proof of education and certification in the field, which is at the prior expense of the worker. They are on call with clients assigned, all overhead and expendables covered, and tips for them can go a long way to get them through hours cut in slow periods. If they have repeat requests by name, more hours will come their way. Some may also do private legit bodywork on the side, but some may not have a home setup for it, and others may even be concurrently attending school for PT or other further medical training, without the time to earn more than the spa pays. If you're not inclined to be a service tipper, then don't. It's not really a problem until your next visit...

That's the fun part about hiring sensual! Just like Forrest Gump's chocolates, you never know what you're going to get! Hint: Hire an escort (at the rate advertised) who also has a massage ad on the other site...

Hmm. Even after having combed thru his ad and full review panel in addition to the archived CoM thread, not one mention of a table.
