I did occasionally 20-25 years ago. I would hook up with a guy, sometimes in a 3-way situation. We liked martinis, 420 and poppers. We would go at like rabbits. Happy times. Now it's sans the poppers, and just me and my hand. Then Netflix. Oh, who I am kidding? It's usually straight to Netflix.

I don't like the smell or taste of cigarettes, but I can see myself stopping to go make a tuna sandwich. Now that I think of it, that probably explains a lot.

So much truth in what others have said here. We are still in the first wave of infections in the US; the geography just changed, and maybe the demographics as more Millennials and Gen Zs get infected. Younger people appear to have a lower hospitalization rate, maybe as low as 4% while for older people >65 years, it may be 20%. Proportionally, people of color appear to be getting hit harder than Caucasians but that may be amplified by socioeconomic and co-morbidity factors. But, all in all, the virus doesn't care who you are, and whether it makes you symptomatic or not - for its success strategy, it's better having people up and about and spreading the infections person-to-person, which makes Millennials and GenZs (our favorite phenotype of masseur) prime vectors for transmission.
 
We are learning a lot about the virus incredibly fast. But with speed comes a lot of preliminary conclusions that turn out to be wrong - a lot of headlines are coming from scientific preprints that have not completed the review process. The popular press takes the preliminary conclusions, amplifies them, and maybe politicizes them. Then when something turns out to be false, there usually isn't the same amplification of the correction. Or, if it fits a political agenda, it's over-amplified to discredit science in general.
 
I think we've still got a potential for a huge wildfire of infections, with too many hotspots. and a high pressure system building (red states, too fast relaxing of lockdowns back to normality, and general non-compliance with whatever the locals rules are), and a high wind warning (resumption of travel, lack of social distancing). Our air tankers aren't ready (no vaccine, no good treatments yet), our firefighters aren't on the ground (no contact tracing), and our backfires and fire lines are weak (non-compliance). (As a Californian, I love my wildfire analogies). A lot of people ignore risks and fewer understand statistics. I have a sinking feeling that late September and October are going to be very ugly.
 
So for now and the foreseeable future until this first wave subsides, I'm jerking off, best I can while my dog is scratching at the bedroom door. If this goes on for many more months, my thirst for human physical contact and my little head may take control, and I may get a massage. But it would be with a masseur that I trust; in SF, I'm lucky to know educated masseurs with some experiences in real health education, including an ICU nurse. And if I do get a massage, it will be much more subdued in the sensual nature than I usually am looking for. And then I will be extra careful about my exposure to others for at least one week, so that my risk-choice is solely on me and not foisted upon unsuspecting others.

These comments reminded me of the last time that I got massage, in Seoul in January when COVID-19 was just starting to spread and I was foolishly naive about how serious it was. People in Seoul were just starting to wear masks. The ridiculously hot young Korean muscle boy had just finished the massage by giving me an incredible BJ when he started sniffling uncontrollably. My post-orgasm high was immediately dampened by realizing how stupid I may have been. Lordy, I miss those times.
 
And to keep on thread, Takashi may be choosing to stay in Japan for a while. I know a few Japanese citizens who are staying there until the US gets things under control.

For those of you saying "it was sanitized" like, how do you know? Did you see the provider pull fresh linens out of a sterilization bin? Did the sheets look OK so you are just assuming? Are we going on the word of providers who have little to no experience in proper sanitation procedures? Seems like we may be thinking with our little heads, gents.

I totally agree, except that in the US we never really got over the first wave so whatever we are seeing now is not even the second wave yet.
 
I'd have to set something straight though. Some of the gents here seemed to think that the increase in cases has been due to the increase in testing, but the growing proportion of infected patients requiring admissions to ICUs/requiring ventilators strongly suggests that it's not all due to increased testing but more likely a more widespread of infection in communities, and maybe even an increase in virulence of SARS-CoV-2 now that it has spent some time in the human population perfecting their tools to make their infections more efficient. Most of the media are not pushing any fear-mongering agenda. What I'm seeing at work tells me that the we are so far, far away from being able to return to our pre-pandemic lives.

It's easier to catch than you think, and pre-symptomatic/asymptomatic shedding is real. I too long for a really good massage, but according to what I know and the stuff I see at work, I have made a personal choice not to take a risk at this time. However, as Mr. Jones has pointed out earlier in this thread, when it comes to a disease as transmissible as this one, there really is no such thing as a personal choice. By taking a risk, you also automatically make a decision for those around you and the public to take a risk with you. I do understand though that providers also need to make a living. This whole situation sucks and I really hope a sustainable medical solution is available soon.

Of course it's too soon. We all know that, though we wish it was not the case. The virus is more prevalent now than before. There is no vaccine. The easiest way to get it is to be in an enclosed space with someone for more than 15 minutes, even if they aren't breathing hard. If someone is willing to give you an answer you'd rather hear, ok. But you already know you are risking your life, the lives of those you come in contact with, and the lives of the health care workers that will have to care for the worst cases we create by not waiting till this is actually over. We haven't eradicated STDs and they are far less transmissible.

You make a good point. I guess because in one sense, the more overt an activity is (in this case, directly and palpably exchanging saliva through kissing) the worse it seems in terms of transmission. Even though yes, just being close can be risky. I suppose that aside from masturbating together sitting 6 feet apart, anything would be a risk. I think we all have to decide for ourselves (and anyone we choose to be with) what risks we're willing to take. No one is saying these decisions are easy. This is also why I haven't committed to meeting up with anyone quite yet - I'm still weighing the options in terms of how much risk I feel is "acceptable," and haven't really decided what makes sense yet.

If you are ever in the Miami area, try this Caleb, who also wrestles for Thunders Arena as scrappy. He's straight (I think). He does meet-ups for muscle worship and wrestling, including submission holds. A really nice guy too. Unless you don't want him to be.

I agree with everything 7829V wrote with some added color. Massage was very good. Sensual elements were great. Agree not a lot of boundaries, but the session was everything I was looking for. As for 7829V I would repeat, and for what I have experienced in San Diego, Steve is at the top of my list.

Tried him. Massage is good. Reasonable rates. Sensual elements are good too. Personally don't enjoy when the masseur gets too "familiar" with the client. Prefer to keep some boundaries. Current location not the best due to lack of close by restroom. Would I repeat? Yes. Top of my list... mmmh, no I don't think so.

I have no direct experience with Englishlad. But I'm in Europe at the moment and so can read the comments in his rentmen reviews. The 1-star review is from a client upset because Englishlad would not let the client top him bareback and was unenthusiastic in kissing him. Englishlad responded that it was a matter of hygiene, mentioning bad breath, and other things about the client and the outcall environment. In contrast, a 5-star reviewer commented on his exceptional kissing prowess. Based on the other reviewer's comments and Englishlad's very well-written response to the 1-star reviewers comments, I would be inclined to hire him if I were in London. Good looks, hot body and well-spoken.

I recently saw him for a 90 minute massage that lasted about 75 min plus he let me shower. He gave a solid deep-tissue massage. Bonus points for giving a good massage on a bed. He did a good job on my back and legs. Not the best therapeutic massage that I've had because there was no stretching, myofascial work etc. Like the other commenters, I give it a B+/7 on a scale of 1-10.
 
Andrew was furry and scruffy, which is usually kind of a turn-off for me, and certainly different from his pictures. I prefer smooth or fine chest hair. Killer body, hard pecs and biceps. Cute face. Nice smile. Clean. Some bacne.
 
The sensual aspect was *meh*. It only started after I turned over when he immediately started working to get me aroused. To his credit, he did ask me if I "liked the muscles" (very cute with his Polish accent). When I said yes, he put on a nice muscle flexing session, which he seemed to enjoy doing. I gave myself a HE. He probably would have but I preferred that he be busy posing.
 
I probably wouldn't repeat. Hard to put a finger on any specific reasons.
