    escortrod got a reaction from + ArVaGuy in Goodbye   
    As has been mentioned in a couple of other threads, I've begun to retire from advertising. This is largely because of an exciting new job I have that is taking up most of my time. Since I have so little free time now it seems silly to spend it on here arguing with people I don't know, so it's time for me to sign off permanently!
     
    Thanks to those I've met or chatted to. Also, thanks to Daddy. This forum has been useful for my occasional forays into escorting in the US, and some of the threads and fellow members have been eye opening!
     
    I'm amenable to keeping in touch with some people elsewhere, so I'll keep checking messages for a couple of days. Otherwise, ciao!

    Nah. You are talking about interferon injections. Today's drugs/pills have a 90-100% cure rates and are pills taken for a duration of 8-12 weeks. Expensive yes, but a full cure is certainly worth it. They have been around a few years.

    Rod you'll be sorely missed. Your posts have been educational, amusing, sometimes pithy, intelligent, sometimes sarcastic in reply to dumb posts but always interesting.
    You have made a real contribution to the forum.
    I hope your new job works out brilliantly for you & your future's bright
    I have made no secret of the fact that I have hired your services as an escort & it was one of the best decisions of my life.
    You epitomize all that an escort should be IMY & any who did no avail themselves of the opportunity have missed out big time!
    Goodbye from this forum. See you down the road

    escortrod reacted to + Brad in NYC in Being taken advantage of...   
    Wow. After reading this thread and hearing about multiple people who have had horrific experiences, it’s really making me think. I’m a native New Yorker, so I feel that I have a certain amount of street wisdom, but.....
     
    I’ve always tried to be careful screening massage guys. I do read reviews, check threads here, etc. I look for a good massage as opposed to a sexual encounter, so maybe that weeds out some of the darker characters. And, I realize that many here are as interested in the sexual component as they are the massage.
     
    Although I’ve had massages that I didn’t think were so great or felt the person wasn’t trained very well, I never felt unsafe. I’ve never been in fear during a massage encounter. I feel horrible for those who have.
     
    I wonder if it’s been self conscious that I tend to pick masseurs who are my size or smaller. Is there a part of me thinking (even though I might be wrong) that I could hold my own with ‘this guy’ if something started going fowl?
     
    I’m wondering if someone should create a thread where we collectively assemble a ‘how to stay safe’ checklist.
     
    I don’t blame anyone who’s been victimized and I also think it makes sense for massage clients to consider that not all these guys are good guys, and could take some steps to avoid or deal with them.
     
    This topic has attracted lively conversation and I really appreciate everyone sharing their thoughts.

    Of course this will vary by jurisdiction, but in the UK at least this could rise to the level of rape:
     
    https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2003/42/part/1/crossheading/rape
     
    "1 Rape

    (1)A person (A) commits an offence if—
     
    (a)he intentionally penetrates the vagina, anus or mouth of another person (B) with his penis,
     
    (b)B does not consent to the penetration, and
     
    ©A does not reasonably believe that B consents.
     
    (2)Whether a belief is reasonable is to be determined having regard to all the circumstances, including any steps A has taken to ascertain whether B consents."
     
    Obviously this would hinge on whether the masseur believed that the OP consented and, if so, whether or not that belief was reasonable. The comments in this thread demonstrate that at least some would not consider such a belief to be reasonable in this context. You presumably think otherwise.

    I'm not sure why @BostonTom is so hostile toward the victim of sexual assault / rape. What motivates that hostility? The belittling name-calling is an attempt to distract/divert attention from the fundamental issues of the thread.
     
    Human behavior is complex but the science is pretty clear on a couple points: a good massages relaxes a person physically & mentally. That's the whole point and would slow response times. Further, human beings generally "freeze" or "respond slowly" to unexpected/surprising situations/stimuli. Why do you think the military spends so much effort training people to respond in highly specific ways to unexpected/dangerous situations? They have to overcome basic human responses.
     
    The OP's explanation clearly describes an interaction with a man who pushed boundaries from the start. Could the OP have been more forceful or careful? Yes, but the criminal activity was initiated and perpetrated by the male "expert" who ran the scene. Has the OP hopefully learned important lessons about personal safety? Hopefully, yes! But, again, that in no way excuses or transfers guilt or blame. The man committed multiple acts of sexual assault and also likely rape.
     
    A human being's body is their own. Kissing without permission is sexual harassment. Penetration without permission is sexual assault. Sexual activity without consent is rape. Not using condoms without consent is an additional violation.
     
    We as a society will never overcome toxic masculinity and the rampant sexual harassment and assault that occurs every day around the world until we recognize the fundamental truth that a human being's body is their own and does not belong to anyone else.
     
    Wrong again, @BostonTom, what the OP described is at a minimum sexual assault and very likely also rape.

    Direct-acting antiviral (DAA) therapy with PPIs (Proton Pump Inhibitors) seems to have much better outcomes for treating chronic HCV (Hepatitis C Virus).

    It seems to me that you’re saying that we should be prepared to fight off any masseur because we are, after all, getting naked and the masseur is also naked and may become aroused and not be able to control himself. Hmm. If I answer an ad from someone who offers sensual/erotic nude massage, I think it’s reasonable to assume that I won’t be raped while face down on the table.

    Oh sure there are rogues in this as in every profession. My point is that there are ways to avoid them & personal recommendations are an invaluable method of doing so.
    I hope the OP can recover from his ordeal & find the type of masseur he is looking for.

    This is pretty much the definition of victim blaming. If you think that’s a reasonable thing to do, have at it, but don’t reject the perfectly appropriate description of what you are doing.

    Variable quality sex, exposure to potentially dangerous situations, possible arrest and criminal record (depending on jurisdiction), exposure to STIs, less money than one might expect, especially in light of the time spent arranging each meet... I could go on listing the disbenefits for an hour or more. I enjoy escorting, which is why I’m continuing to meet some regulars in my semi-retirement, but it would be misguided to think that escorts don’t earn their fees.

    More victim blaming. Maybe so called "nude massage" providers should respect boundaries and not assault/rape people "because they want it" even though the client never once asked for it.
     
    A good massage is very relaxing. People frequently fall asleep during a very good massage. Even if it's nude, that in no way gives the provider permission to penetrate the client in any way with anything without prior clear consent. Any provider who violates a client in that way is committing at least sexual assault and possibly rape.
