To put it bluntly, I identify as Black, not a person of color  and I do not know what everyday activities are more uniquely hazardous today for Black people specifically (I cant speak on any other demographics).  I know there is a narrative out there but it isn’t supported by statistics. Regardless, as a masseur, you have to take precaution no matter what, regardless of your color. Bad things happen to providers and masseurs all the time, from the mundane, to sexual assault, and even murder. Stephen Port, a white man   murdered  at least 4 gay white escorts between to 2014 and 2015, and his victims being caucasian did not protect them from getting murdered. And that's just one example of countless of these things happening that are underreported, frankly. So, I never  suggested  anyone should not be cautious. Everyone has to be, because bad things can happen to all of us, but there is absolutely nothing to support the idea that a Black escort would be exposed to anymore danger than a white one.
 

Im speaking from my own experience that I have not had  problems with racism when Ive traveled. I still have to fly out of  state for some overnight clients, and I will continue to  do that, and I’m not going to employ a “unique” or special caution specifically for racism, as if the prospect of racism is worse than any of the many other bad things that could happen to a massuer. Im judicious and cautions, but I dont live in fear or make decisions rooted in it. The minute you do, is the minute you give your power away. Hell,  If I let the concern for racism deter me,  I would probably never leave the house, since you  could encounter that at your local grocery store. If I’m asked to travel somewhere and it makes sense business wise and I want to go, then I go. Rest assured, I am more than prepared for anyone who would be trouble for me regardless of the motives and I would encourage others to take their own precautions and use discernment  as they ALL should with ANY client.

Very well said! You have such a healthy, wise, and mature perspective and outlook!

did I read that right? source?

Sorry, I wrote that wrong. I meant 25% of sex trafficking victims are men. https://www.apa.org/monitor/2017/04/sex-trafficking

25% of of sex trafficking  victims are men and the numbers are increasing. With that being the case, have any providers been concerned about meeting clients for the first time?

My least favorite is a tie between San Diego & Los Angeles.  Its a challenge to pick a favorite and I dont travel outside of California anymore, but I’ve loved working the other cities that I’ve visited.

What is your reasoning behind choosing LA?

Out of curiosity, which cities are your least and most favorite to work?

I think having a fetish for Asian men is okay, but it would be great if you had Asian friends too. If not, then it does suggest that they might just be sex objects to you, some form of a lesser human, only suitable for sex.

Having a fetish is one thing, having your fetish be demeaning someone based in their race is an entirely different conversation.

 Honest quiestion:  What is it about demeaning Asians that turns you on???

To assume that bookings (and I mean more so “requests” for bookings) ever slowed down substantially because of the pandemic is the kicker. 

Understood! 

To masseurs and providers, Are clients booking at pre-panemic levels now that they are vaccinated? Or do you find it slower and that clients are still flakey?

I'm definitely leaving Palm Springs in November! (for vacation!)

The weather is just getting good out there 😃

Is anyone else here on the forum planning on going to Palm Springs in November???

My friend is white and he goes to Blatino Oasis every year and he loooooves it!!! I’ve never been to it, but he always comes back happy with many stories to share!!! It sounds like you’d have a lot of fun.

Now that you are vaccinated, are you back to hiring masseurs?

Would you stop being an escort/massuer if a client asked you to move in with him and be exclusive to him if he made sure your needs were met?

What are the best and worst things about the business?

Have you considered taking a break from the business? Just from reading your many posts, it seems that you have more negative feelings about the business than positive ones. Why not take 6 months or a year off and try something else? You may find that you don’t even miss the business.
You may find a passion for something else! Change can be an incredible, life changing thing.

I quit the business yrs ago and I didn’t miss it once. It’s something to consider

Are your favorite clients, the guys who tip the best or the guys you like personality wise? 

Mental health comes first. I commend her! 

Why don’t more masseurs come to Palm Springs during the summer? Hotel rates are cheaper this time of year so I would think that they would want to come during the summer months but there is a dearth of variety during the summer months. Is it because of the heat? Is it because there are less tourists during the summer so less profit even with cheaper hotels?

What if anything would you say sets you apart from other providers?

I'm sorry, but we live in an ostensibly civilized society, and need to live by certain rules, called "laws," to ensure the safety and functioning of this society. No one asked her to take any photos, nor even pose for them, if that is what you meant to say. Taking photos of someone in public is perfectly legal. If I were having an illicit affair, I wouldn't flaunt it in public, especially if I were someone who totally should have expected the press would be watching closely. Not wanting to have one's photo taken does not give anyone, Royal or not, the "right" to endanger innocent lives by driving in an extremely impaired drunken state at break-neck speeds. Not wearing an seatbelt just adds icing to the cake of bad judgment.

Her death was tragic, but almost entirely due to a series of bad decisions made by her driver and herself. Many people, do, indeed, die due to their own bad decisions. Unlike Harry, she wasn't born a royal. She chose this life, chose to go out in public with another man, chose to instruct her driver to try to avoid the press, and chose to ignore seat belt laws notwithstanding the dangerous driving going on. Of course, greatest blame does go to the driver chose to get completely soused before driving his employer. It's a miracle that no innocent bystanders' lives were lost.

Lots of things are legal, it doesn’t make them the right thing to do. Public figures should be able to have boundaries too. That’s all I have to say about it.

She'd also have lived if this woman who'd already been photographed tens of thousands of times, posed for just a few more, then rode off quietly into the night.

 

You can't chase a stationary object. They were chasing her because she was running.

 

To keep from having her picture taken?!? Again?!? Why?

1) Maybe she had a place to be

2) Maybe she didn’t want to take photos for tabloids that were going to use them to print lies about her anyway

3) Paparazzi are not known for being nice and often say terrible things to get a reaction shot (the money shot) so maybe she wanted to avoid them

4) She was a human being and did not need a reason for her boundaries to be honored just like any other human being

Insinuating that she should’ve just taken the pictures to avoid being dangerously chased down by zealous photographers ....aren’t you embarrassed saying that? Or are you just completely void of empathy?

She'd have lived if she wore a seatbelt.

She would’ve also lived of the paparazzi hadn’t been chasing them. Both are true.
