Love the massage therapists who take pride in their oral skills.

A lot of people are turned off by discussing or negotiating money terms. The vast majority of business employees are too intimidated to ask for a raise, even when they deserve an increase. For providers who use "ask" in their ads, they risk closing the door on opportunities. OTOH, for those customers who don't mind negotiation, "ask" usually opens the door to better communication. IME, providers don't like surprises. They respond better when they know what the customer really wants. If you're willing to engage in an "ask" discussion, you might be surprised by the outcome. I have often found the discussion ended in my favor.

Thank you for posting that info. Your service looks like a lot of fun. Wish I could travel to experience it. Twitter will have to do for now.

Some guys want to protect themselves from legal liability. Each state is different. In New York State, it is illegal to provide "massage" service without a license. It is illegal to charge money for a "massage" service if you are not licensed. It is illegal to perform "massage" service in a location where it may be against the law. If caught violating any of these laws, you can end up in jail. Even if you are licensed, it may be illegal to perform the service in your home. You'd have to know the local zoning laws to be sure. Each building may have their own rules regarding work from home. If a legal case is brought against you, any ad that shows you asked for money in exchange for a "massage" service could be evidence against you. The legal onus for massage service is on the provider, not the customer. If someone has "Ask" in his ad, I would consider that person a bit more cautious. IMO, "Ask" may not mean scam at all. In fact, it could mean the opposite. Self-protection, which in turn can protect you. I found this at a law site: Because you need a license to give massages, merely an offer to give a massage or holding yourself out as an individual who can give massages is punishable as an "E" felony if you do not have a license to do so. While this offense is not considered Prostitution and a violation of New York Penal Law Article 230, the ramifications may be worse. The reality is that law enforcement, such as the NYPD, often pursues this charge as means to prosecute those people they believe are involved in Prostitution, but are unable to charge them with the crime of Prostitution or any of the other related offenses.

It probably is a lease requirement. If found out after the fact, he could be evicted and seriously fined. Ever since 9/11, the days of avoiding non-nosy neighbors are long gone. Doing business from home requires disclosure, especially if the business invites other people into the building.

Because, when the IRS comes knocking, you want an authorized, licensed person to handle your case to avoid any personal interaction between you and the IRS. Any reputable CPA will tell a customer to never speak to the IRS on your own. Always let a professional represent you.

I don't like surprises, so knowing in advance would be key to me. I have friends who live in walk ups, and I don't question visiting them. As for massage service in a walk up, 3-5 floors might stimulate some body odor, depending on how many steps. As long as natural armpit smell is ok with you, I'm there.

I had many roommates in my early years. Some straight guys, but mostly gay guys. I had a spacious spare bedroom, which was easy to rent. Since the lease was mine, I felt responsible. The apartment insurance was in my name. I was a hobbyist DJ. I had expensive sound equipment in my apartment. I felt I had to lay ground rules. No guests without my permission. Luckily for me, none of the guys were sex addicts, but 1 or 2 turned out to have drug problems. I had to push one guy out. It's no fun living with an addict.

So many paying guys fall prey to the photo fantasy. Luka knows the game. That's how guys like Luka stay in business. I'd bet he's closer to 50.

I don't like it either, but some selfish people can't resist. I wish someone could show me "harassment" anywhere on this thread. That's part of the problem with hate-filled politics, us vs. them. People see things that don't exist.

Well here's a little fact about a pandemic. If one person isn't safe, no one is safe. I'm really tired of the selfish and the self-righteous, preaching about their pride in being selfish, and calling everyone else stupid or brainwashed by the media.

I have never left my socks on during a massage, but I can relate to the pain of chilled feet. I don't know why this happens, but if a therapist leaves my naked feet uncovered during a massage, I can easily get foot cramps. They are very painful and awkward. The cramps don't occur with a simple sheet cover, but some massage therapists don't offer that. If the weather is cold outside or there's a question of having enough heat in the room, I always ask about a sheet cover for my feet. Otherwise, the thought of enduring feet cramps during a massage will kill the experience for me.

I'm with the OP. I hate going without massage, but I'm not taking any chances with my health. No health = no life. Plus, everyone I know who caught Covid, no matter how mild, complains about their health not being the same. I'm sorry. There are too many unknowns with this virus. I'd rather stay virus free. I lasted this long without massage, I can last another year if necessary.

Farting happens, especially if you're over 50 and waiting to take a proper dump. Trying to control it can sometimes cause excruciating pain. Far more uncomfortable than letting go on date. If I were in bed, I'd be considerate enough to get to the nearest bathroom before letting go. In the middle of a fuck? I'd probably ignore it unless he shit my bed. Massage therapists often deal with customer farting. It comes with the job. Many therapists are very understanding about this. I had one massage therapist go ballistic because his customer farted through the entire massage. Best not to eat Tex-Max just before getting a massage. Most people pay attention to these things, but there are always outliers.

I come from a family of smokers. I know four people who died from emphysema. Not a fun way to go. I have one family member who went back to smoking four weeks after she had quadruple bypass surgery. The smell of smoke makes me want to vomit. Not a good feeling for a sexual encounter. Can't stomach cigars or pipes either. I can't help it but when I smell smoke on a person, I immediately associate the smell with a death wish. Not at all sexy.

Lots of science available on chronic halitosis, which is something mints, mouthwash, or brushing teeth can't solve. Research "tongue scraping" to learn how much bacteria clings to the tongue. Research "zinc-activated rinses" and learn how they stop the production of sulfur, which can cause terrible odor in the mouth. Unfortunately, once you start to lick armpits, eat ass, or suck a semen-dripping cock, there isn't much to salvage some situations. Sex is not an aromatherapy spa experience.

I remember him being a really nice guy with great word of mouth. I think he worked in health care, and his boyfriend had recently died. It was easy to talk with him. After our session, he would walk us into his shower and we would play more there. He really enjoyed playing with butt hole. I think he also had a pet dog. Never expected that someone's Inbox would jar my memory.

Escorts and massage therapists who ask for a deposit are way too precious for me. It suggests that their time is "too" important, which also suggests that money takes priority over anything else. That's a bridge too far for me. I have other more important service people in my life, and none of them require a deposit for an appointment, so why should I treat a massage or escort appointment any differently? To each his own.

I like his looks, but I'm not getting massage during a pandemic. Too risky for me.

I should have mentioned, that's what I need in D.C. Mediocre buzz cuts do not look good on my almost white hair. The gay hairdresser I normally went to and loved decided to retire when Covid struck. He also moved out of D.C. He recommended someone else in the salon. I've been to the new guy twice, but I'm not happy. I haven't observed anyone else in that salon that offers confidence. I'm still working and I need my hair to look better. Too many meetings where people have only me to focus on. I appreciate any referrals I can get. Thank you!

I know escorts tend to be well groomed. I'm stuck near Dupont Circle for awhile and I need a good clipper haircut. I have a car so I can travel. I may have to wait until barbers and salons re-open, but I'm willing to visit someone's home, if possible. I'm an older guy with a full head of grey hair, with some receding in the front. I wear my hair buzzed short. I can go to a barber or a beauty salon, and I'd like to pay no more than $120. If an escort (or client) can recommend someone talented, please PM with a name. Thank you.

@Muscleking I see you went to Rico. In his ad, the photos show him with the Hypervolt massager. Did he use it on you?

The vast majority of guys who like cock do not know how to hold or grip another man's cock at the time of orgasm. Most guys are way too aggressive, too hungry to either finish the job or see someone cum. They can't feel what the man who is about to orgasm feels. When you're too aggressively beating off someone else, you lose all sense of what the other person is feeling. You can't possibly tell how sensitive the cock becomes as it approaches orgasm and as it releases. On top of that, every guy's sensitivity level is different. In porn videos, you see this discomfort all the time. So many guys wince, grimace, and gyrate in agony because the masturbator is killing his cock. Some guys in porn actually speak up and complain. Also in porn, numerous guys need to take matters into their own hands to finish the job. As long as there are no teeth interfering, I prefer to cum in a guy's mouth. It's wet, warm, and soft, and no pressure from rough hands on my sensitive cock head. The same is true for cumming in a guy's ass, but it's rare that a massage therapist asks me for that.

I have an infected neighbor in his 40's who works on Broadway. He is doing his best to avoid going to the hospital. He's been sick for weeks, and I have never heard a cough like the one this guy has. The sound is truly scary, as if he's trying to cough out a lung, at all hours of the day and night. Just hearing him through the walls of my building tells me I don't want to come anywhere near this virus. Until there is an adequate test, you really can't trust much. It seems with this virus, the appearance of clean means little. Normal looking people are testing positive. If you follow the science on this virus - gloves, masks, and social distancing are the only things that give someone a chance to prevent exposure. Look at what health care workers are supposed to be wearing and apply that to massage therapy. I just don't see how anyone could consider taking a risk now, therapist or client. None of my doctors in NY are seeing patients in the office. All issues are handled via computer. Until their offices open, I'm following CDC recommendations on social distancing and staying away from people. I have to admit, I'm high risk at my age.

I've had my share of those. I prefer mutual enjoyment of nipple play. I love when a massage therapist works my chest. Some are definitely more into pecs than others. Those who are into pecs usually know how to tease the nipples. I also love a massage therapist who is into armpits, also not common enough. I love sharing armpit scent with a masseur who is into it.
