My guess is that he was trying to swindle you out of $100 thinking you'd rather agree to that last-minute change than cancel the appointment. If he had actually given you the wrong rate by mistake (and I'm not sure how voice-to-text turns four hundred into three hundred), then he could have "manned" up about it without putting you in an awkward spot less than two hours before you were supposed to meet up. I would have cancelled too.

I know you didn't ask for any suggestions, but this might be helpful: I haven't had to copy CD music to a computer, in a looooooooong time. But I think that should still be possible. If you do that and add the songs to a cheap MP3 player, then you can enjoy your favorite music in your car (and save some money). Also, if you have an Apple computer or iPhone, I'd suggest buying music on iTunes instead of Amazon Music because iTunes lets you hear a preview of the song before you buy it. That would allow you to get a good sense of whether you'd be buying the version you're looking for.

Interesting. I've only ever seen gay guys consensually refer to each other as she, her, girl, etc., or using words like "bussy." But I've never noticed that kind of talk being directed at a guy specifically because he's a bottom.

Please, for the love of all that's holy, have mercy on our souls and delete that photo so that others don't need to suffer as I have having seen it.

I've never hired him, but I've "bumped" into him a few times. I don't know what effect the corona lockdown had on his physique, but I can say that pre-corona he looked like his photos and was definitely sexy. Don't know if that's helpful.

This provider would not be for you then: https://www.companyofmen.org/threads/giovanni-flex-23-yr-old.160640/#post-1995984

I would be afraid that the...distraction...would lead to this:

Come in for a Bentley, but end up riding (pun intended) a Toyota. Classic.

I apologize, but I really need to say this re the thread's title: that's what she said

I think you had the right instinct. This is exactly what I would have done too. When scheduling the second (or at this point what would have been your third session), I would've said something along the lines of "the massage has really been helping me, and those 30 minutes fly so quickly! So I think I want to extend to 60 minutes and get a full body massage while I'm here. Do you think that would be helpful and have availability for that?" That would have given you a legit excuse to be naked during the next appointment and him a chance to steer you towards keeping the shorter session if he'd already started to feel uncomfortable with anything that had happened up to that point.

Mainly on Yelp, but also on Facebook and Google (because some therapists have their own websites that pop up in searches).

That's so funny. "Excuse me, would it be too much to ask for you to crush my trachea? I'm ready to go right here."

This shows that any advice encouraging you to push things with a licensed therapist was bad advice. It commonly is. When this happens, you're better off simply enjoying the great therapeutic massage and the "will he/won't he" dynamic when it comes to any hanky-panky. I think I've said this before here somewhere. I've gotten lucky with a few legit certified therapists over the years (including one working at a chiropractic office). What worked for me was the opposite of the advice you got. For example, if the guy grazed my balls I did not react at all. If the guy pressed a boner on my arm, I did not react at all. That seems to communicate willingness better than reacting (either when the teasing happens or by changing your behavior during the next session). And I think that's because (a) an unwilling/straight guy would likely react to that by adjusting his position, (b) an unwilling/straight guy would likely feel uncomfortable and consequently wouldn't rebook, and © it suggests I'm not a creep who'll lunge for his dick if he decides to push the envelope a bit more. In my experience, a certified therapist will knock on your door, if you will, not to see if you'll bust it wide open... but instead to decide for himself, based on your reaction, whether he wants to risk checking if it's unlocked and try to slowly open it himself. Of course, it's possible that one happens to book with a therapist who is legit waiting for the client to grab the therapist's wiener (or send an obvious signal that falls short of that). But the risk with assuming that is that the therapist might end up being offended if you got it wrong. And an offended therapist might blacklist you from his practice, report you to the doctor who gave you the prescription, or even overreact and call the police on you.

The other guy says he is a trainer, and he's speaking Portuguese. He's serving as an interpreter for Vitaly, who is speaking in a language other than Portuguese and answering questions from his Brazilian fans.

Badass.

I'm not an escort, but I would hope the answer is along the lines of:

Number one because the misrepresentation is intended to stiff people out of money. Number two is harmless. If you like that D, does it matter if its owner is 28 or 30? I think most people would say no.

Hard pass on principle. But also, what if he allows you the coveted "privilege" of paying him for a rubdown based on your photos, but then doesn't actually like the whole of what he sees when he has you on his table? No bueno.

This means the answer is none. In general, but especially considering the above, this is just crazy.

Fixed this for you.

I have no problem with this either. But I'm a gay adult with no kids. But if I had been watching Family Feud with my very own family on a Thursday at 8 p.m. only to have my little Cindy's eyes assaulted by a man's big bulge, which I'm sure he knew was on full display and which appears to be fighting for its life trying bust out of those pants, then maybe I'd have a problem with this. This is America, and my little Cindy has a constitutional right to not find out that penises exist until she's at least 25 years old or until one gets her pregnant at 15, whichever comes first.

That is deplorable behavior. Having said that, more please!

That line sounds equally likely to be the first line of a porno or a horror movie. Scan the room for emergency exits.

That sounds great. What I need to know is, are you single? If so, I think your name's going to look mighty lonely on that deed. It needs company.
