What are masseurs and rentmen doing during this crisis and how can we support them?

[Jon_Chi123]

I cannot imagine what it must be like to make a living giving love and affection to people who need it and then have my living snatched from me by a fucking virus. What are escorts and masseurs doing?

[KeepItReal]

If your question is directed at masseurs and escorts, perhaps asking in the "ask an escort" section will produce better results.

As mentioned in another Forum, we can support them by contacting our regular masseur or escort who we have used before and have established a friendship/relationship with......and send them payment for our next session NOW, when they can use the money for rent, food, etc. We can explain to them that this payment will be used as a credit for a session at a later date, after this health crisis passes. I think that would be a huge help to them.

I've wondered about paying (reduced rates) for sexy phone sessions. I was not in a position to hire before Coronavirus broke out, so I am not really able to now that I am laid off. But, perhaps others?

Or better yet, if you have a favorite and you can afford it, send payment as an early Christmas gift and don't bother with discussions about credits and payback. Workers in the personal service industry are going to be hit quite hard. They're going to need every dollar of help they can find in order to survive.

How about ordering take out from your favorite Asian restaurant. They have had it worse since many customers abandoned them thinking they were the source of the pandemic.

You’re mostly talking about healthy, in-shape, able-bodied men (mostly younger in their 20s & 30s).....there is no reason that they have to sit home doing nothing....many of the essential business sectors that remain open have plenty of employment opportunities & are hiring....for example, grocery store chains are adding workers for restocking jobs & janitorial / cleaning needs that need vital attention.....some might have cars / vehicles available....Uber needs more drivers for deliveries....(Amazon too)......is this kind of employment below the standards of an escort in need ?....I, for one, don’t think so....

You say they “need every dollar of help they can find”.....I think many can find dollars in places other than from handouts.

I think a phone sex session could be hot.

it might be the life event to have them consider other employment opportunities or get more training or schooling. Nothing at all against escorting as a way of life, but rather like any service industry it is vulnerable to economic vicissitudes. Aging out happens too,so good to have alternatives. Maybe with some money in the bank, (virtual) school is an option?

I had a client offer this exactly a few days ago. We meet for 2 hr. Appointments and he offered to pay for 1 hr. In advance. I thanked him and declined for the time being.

[Jason_Stark]

Seriously, this thread has given me so much hope during this sad and anxious time. I’ve had about 20 Clients, new and regular, decline to meet because of this. I’m in between careers and this is my main form of income right now, so it means the world that there are clients who are actually thinking beyond themselves and willing to help wherever they can. Keep up the good spirit and know that your efforts don’t go unappreciated! Stay safe and healthy all!

Actually, I was thinking more about massage therapists, especially those who are self-employed and work at it full-time.

I really have no clear idea what being “between careers” actually means.....but if escorting is your main source of income & that source has temporarily been severely reduced - you’re a healthy, strong 23 yr old kid....options besides being “grateful” to others for being willing to help, HELP YOURSELF.....most all of the essential businesses which are staying open - groceries, pharmacies, delivery personnel, many others - are hiring / have employment opportunities.....the hourly rates for these jobs unfortunately are lower than what an escort gig pays.....but that really has nothing to do with the price of tea in China anyway.

Send them $$$

Send them $$$

Done...

[instudiocity]

I sent the equivalent of two session fees to my massage therapist and my escort. Both called to say, Thank you! You don’t know how much this means to me.
