Are we safe? Should escorts continue with tour plans during race wars? Minneapolis now Tulsa

[Mocha]

...safe from a lackluster tour, if things go left; that is.

 

I use race war as a broad term, but I'm just so over it. I was considering Going to both cities this year. Put ads in Minneapolis just after the time of the previous incident, email and phone lines were pretty dead out there (no pun intended). I was also starting to schedule a stop in Tulsa, as I've been going there about once a year. But now, after seeing this I can't imagine going there and business to be booming, so thinking I might as well detour that trip.

 

This ish pisses me off. I'm thinking this stuff is becoming synthetic. It's almost predictable. I have to tell myself, "OK let me hurry up and get on tour before the next terrorist attack and/or police shoots unarmed civilian." I tried to hurry up and get this trip started because so far September has been good business-wise. I'm just hoping things stay civil and doesn't cause Tulsa or any other city I'm visiting to get burned down.

 

This isn't to discredit, validate, invalidate or even discuss the events that have happened (trying to keep this out of politics and talk from a more general perspective). But, the effect things being replayed throughout media has on people can be significant. For example: the gas pipeline burst. In Nashville, the first day it was reported on the news, people were lined up down the street to get to gas stations. People created a crisis by panicking and sucking all the gas out of stations, causing all the stations in my area to run out of fuel all weekend. Fortunently I had over 2 half tanks of gas in both cars before all that happened so haven't had any need to stop for gas.

 

I know some people probably aren't phased or feel affected and will continue their trips anyway. But, it's inconvenient to be traveling around or worse yet end up in a city where everyone is feeling some type of way and you end up not having as good of a trip because of it. I was actually in Tulsa during the TM verdict, I've also been on tour during the Baltimore and St. Louis protests, along with the Orlando nightclub incident. So...I have a bit of experience with conveniently traveling, and having a big pressing media event gets unveiled.

No matter what is going on in the streets, people will be getting it on in the sheets. Tour on.

It's highly possible that the protests will NOT be occurring where you will be located. Continue with the plans which you've scheduled and promised!

True. But at the barbershop a few months ago, one of the barbers (straight white guy) was telling me that he doesn't even want to have kids because of what is going on. As in, police could nab his kids too possibly. But not sure I see the connection on his end.

 

I'm also seeing Charlotte in some hot water as well. I already toured there (which lasted a little over 24 hours) a few weeks ago. But, had I been scheduled to go there, I'd of def cancelled...because I know I wouldn't get any calls. It'd be hard to want to be in the midst of all that. But Charlotte had it coming. I went out to eat to a downtown diner one night, cops were parked right in front of the door, waiting for an incident. I was like lemme hurry up and eat before some drama pops off.

 

Sometimes I think even if there aren't protests in a given city, people still might be affected and feel "anxiety" just from watching. Especially going to business hotels and it's usually headline news on, or sports. There needs to be some soft porn playing in these hotel lobbies. Bet that'll increase business by 500%. But until then...

Exactly... which escort would stay in Ferguson, South Chicago?

 

Unfortunately I just saw some footage of the police barricading the Omni Hotel in Charlotte NC, I'm sure if an escort were to travel there he might stay in that city's downtown.

I agree... what are the chances of an escort planning a trip to a city a couple of months ahead, that city having a shooting and following protests of any kind in the area where the escort is staying?

Slim, but what if the escort were actually an undercover government agent sent to the city to shoot someone, then to organize a protest.

 

How's that for a conspiracy theory?

I would resist identifying them as race wars, perhaps insurrections.

I think Mocha is closer to the money on the term "race war," however I believe it is highly unfortunate that he has missed the point of such a tragic and violent event and turned it into a another complaint about not making money and whether or not he should "tour." Between this and Marylander's constant barrage of inappropriate questions about escorting demographics in the context of world tragedy, I am rather at a loss for words. I do not claim to be the most eloquent of posters, but when people are being murdered en masse it is not the time to wonder aloud whether or not there is a line at the Post Office.

I can understand your take on this because race is certainly the obvious element in the law enforcement procedures that sparked these demonstrations. I'm thinking that you may me one of the younger-aged posters here. The racial confrontations of the 1950's and 1960's were race "wars." The clashes with police that we are seeing today, as horrific and ugly as they are, don't compare.

[Mocha]

When everyone learns that the news is there to keep everyone living in a constant state of anxiety and fear is the day we all break free from the mental shackles we've been unknowingly put in from this industry.

 

I agree:

Guys, guys, guys. Race war was just a generic term. Just like if I said 2 tops and 1 bottom are having a 3som, I'm sure someone could nitpick it and say no it's not a 3som, they're just running a "train". But I will stand corrected, it's really not a race war because everyone is in these protest. I honestly can't say it's NOT like the 50s and 60s. I'm 29. This is almost OUR generation of uprising. It may not have been as Black and White (no pun intended) as the 50s and 60s, but hell...I didn't see this stuff happening when I was in high school and early college days.

 

@YoungAD, let's be clear. This is not about me. This is about escort travel as a whole. I don't think any escort wants to end up someplace during an unfavorable time. So it would be wise just to verify that wherever a person is going, by just checking in on the news once in awhile. However, last time I checked, post offices don't close because of news story and hotels don't stop charging if I go someplace and there's nothing happening because everyone is afraid for their lives.

 

That said, America needs to fix it's police state. That's what it all boils down to. Maybe send unarmed psychologists instead of cops for every incident. Then maybe things wouldn't get so out of hand all the time.

Exactly.

Fear sells.

And so does sex. Which shall be the greater of sales?

Sex. If fear were the greater salesman, we wouldn't have STIs.

I guess that's obvious haha. I much rather be selling it than giving it away for free. It's appalling and distasteful to see how guys will steadily treat someone worse and worse when stuff is given to them for free. They don't appreciate it. No free dick. No free ass. The better the sex is, the worst they end up treating down the line. It's like these guys shame themselves for having sex, and treat me like crap in the process. I'm sorry but I had nothing to do with that. You came on to me.

 

That's why I give these young buck fucks nothing anymore. These hookup apps. I'm not even going to cast a stone, but the stories I hear, just baffle me. Why...why are these guys giving up their bodies for nothing in return? They train these mofuckers to be cheap. In these "small markets" where there aren't many escorts, its especially rife. Some of these guys are nearly oblivious. The scene is downright heinous. No one UNDERSTANDS the concept of sex literally sells. But then they meet me...

 

I'll even flip the script: when I have sex with someone I'm into, I feel it's my duty and my pleasure to do something nice for them if the situation allows: Usually in the form of monetary gesture. Not necessarily directly giving them money, but if it's a regular thing and they need it and I have it, sure. Not even talking dating, just casual fling.

 

But lately, these guys don't even give you a chance to do that much for them. So I say screw it. It's a no brainer: give something for something is better in the long run than giving something for nothing.
