600 hours is a decent start. That range fits in many states, but minimum requirements are increasing and vary by state and country. New York and Florida require 1,000 hours minimum for licensing. California is headed that way too if they ever change from certification to licensing. https://www.abmp.com/practitioners/state-requirements Another example, if you're in Canada, they require a 2 year in-depth program. https://www.rmtbc.ca/become-a-rmt/

When was this? In 2015, the supreme court struck down a law that allowed police to compel hotels to open their registries. Now, a warrant is required or the hotel owner can freely offer, but they cannot be compelled by law. https://www.forbes.com/sites/katevinton/2015/06/22/supreme-court-rules-police-cannot-force-hotel-owners-to-give-up-registry-data-without-a-warrant/

Why me? height=300pxhttps://2.bp.blogspot.com/-U5xyYiM_dK4/UW2DDJKGHoI/AAAAAAAAAMM/faCdCROY80g/s1600/6+Diagram+of+the+Rectum.jpg[/img] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anal_canal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectum https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigmoid_colon I've written about this before. Here's the quick answer: The external anal sphincters are typically considered the first. The internal anal sphincter is usually considered the second. That's the Anal Canal, which goes from Anus to beginning of Rectum. The Rectum goes from the Anal Canal to the Sigmoid Colon. The sphincter at the Sigmoid is sometimes called the third ring. From Anus to Signoid is around 6.5 inches depending on overall body size. The Sigmoid is around 14 inches long, depending on body size. The Sigmoid's structure includes circular and longitudinal muscles, so it may feel like multiple sphincters. These are all smooth muscles. They aren't under conscious control. They'll only relax when someone feels absolutely safe and the penetration is slow enough to allow the body to feel safe and slowly adapt to the intrusion. Use lots of lube. Experiment with positions with a patient experienced top to find which work best for you. Also understand that aggressive, fast, or rough penetration could cause damage to these delicate tissues. That damage could easily require surgery. Take it slow and listen to your body. Don't force it. https://www.kevinmd.com/blog/2016/03/what-you-dont-know-about-anal-sex-a-gastroenterologist-explains.html

FinDom is real. It's a form of Domination that covers multiple Masochistic interests, especially loss of control and humiliation. If you don't understand it, be grateful that your life experiences haven't led you to it because it frequently can become quite destructive. Here's an article that discusses one of the more well know FinDominatrixes, Goddess Haven: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/in-excess/201612/the-psychology-financial-dominatrixes

I haven't hired since December. I had a few plans for weekends this year but all have been cancelled. Instead, I've invested the money and done very well in the market which hopefully means some fun in a year or two when life is approaching our new normal.

In late 2018, new research came out that led to the FDA updating the age limits for 9vHPV. By June 2019, the ACIP recommended updating the age range and the CDC agreed. For everyone getting vaccinated after 15, the recommendation is a 3-shot series. If you start the series before turning 45, it should be fine for your to complete the series, but your insurance may not pay for them, so plan accordingly. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/68/wr/mm6832a3.htm https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/acip/recs/grade/HPV-adults-etr.html https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/acip/recs/grade/HPV-harmonization-etr.html https://www.cdc.gov/hpv/downloads/9vhpv-guidance.pdf

Sounds like it was a misread or perhaps he felt the arm move was too aggressive or eager. This was only the second of four sessions? If he was curious, his behavior at the end of the session was firmly shutting that down. Appreciate and enjoy his therapeutic expertise and go back to your "amazing full service" guy for the extras.

I've been told I'm overly trusting or generous, so perhaps it goes with the territory. Here are my relevant tales: Back in college a friend needed money for a family emergency, I "loaned" him what he needed. He agreed to a repayment schedule and then didn't honor it. About 5 years later I receive a letter with a check, so I was eventually repaid even with a little interest. About a decade ago, a workout buddy who I met at the gym 5-6 times a week for over a year asked for some help because his car was breaking down and he was worried he'd losing his job without a car. I gave him the 15k he needed for a used car. He promised to pay it back when he could. Everything was good for a couple months and then he vanished. Another couple months go by and suddenly he's back. Turns out the money was for a deposit and first/last rent on a new place for him and his gf. It took much longer than originally promised, but he eventually paid me back, left his gold digging gf, and at one of our parties met the woman he's now married to, so I guess that worked out well. I guess I saved the best for last? The first time I hired, I made a critical mistake of not paying attention to the drinks I was offered. One was spiked with something that resulted in a 7 hour blackout, waking up naked on the bathroom floor, and an escort who was upset about me over drinking and a wasted night. I only remembered having the a beer and a shot or two, but I was very nervous since it was my first time, so I believed him, apologized, and paid for the night even though I'd only booked a 2 hour session. I stumbled out to my car only to realize my brand new iphone was missing. He claimed innocence and I wasn't thinking clearly, so after a little searching I went home thinking I'd somehow lost it. I disabled it as soon as I got home. Over the next couple weeks, it would appear and disappear on apple's tracking. Then one night, after I'd called the wireless company to disable/blacklist the phone, it appeared on the map around 4 am 20 minutes from my house. I'd supposedly lost it over an hour away. I never recovered it. All told, that night cost me a couple grand but that's cheap compared to dying from a drug overdose.

This is the best approach. It has the benefit of clearly stating your interest without being rude and puts the control of his appearance right where it belongs, in his hands. Unless you're planning to hire for a week or however long it would take him to regrow his beard because he likely has clients into hairy guys.

GILF GILF or “Grandma I’d Like to Fuck” is a natural evolution from the previous term. That is if you’re into grayhaired and wrinkled chicks. GILF porn is quite prevalent and surprisingly popular, but it often involves some pretty hot pornstars by any standards. Anilos.com is an excellent place to start if you into ripe old babes.

That's certainly possible. It's important for him to be discreet and relaxed about the interactions because you're right, he could be misreading the situation. In my limited experience, it usually takes the client provider relationship being well established before everyone relaxes enough for unexpected extras to appear in a professional session.

Take 2 pills 24hrs before your first sex session. Continue taking 1 pill, at the same time, every day as long as you're engaging in anal sex. Once you've had your last round of anal sex then continue taking a daily pill at the same time for 2 more days.

Don't be too eager or pushy. As others have said, follow his lead. This is risky for him. Though, why did he do it? Are you famous? A local celeb or something? It's very unlikely, but could this be some kind of set up? You could overthink this all day. It's best to try and relax and go with the flow. You'll at least get some good massage out of it. Ok, so did he do any anterior chest and neck work? All of those muscles are typically involved in shoulder and upper back issues. Don't make up anything. Just mention stuff that's happening in your body.

It's not creepy to remove your pants if they're work slacks you don't want to wrinkle or if it would make you more comfortable and help you relax. What would make it creepy would be looking right at him and saying you plan to remove your pants and throw in a wink. That would be weird.

You had a 30min back session last time? What sort of back issue is it? If it's lower back, pelvis muscles are likely involved. What sort of work was done in the last session? It would be plausible to say the issue remains but feels difficult. Perhaps your glutes now feel like they're pulling? Or is your pelvis anteriorly or posteriorly rotated? In other words, does your pelvis feel like it's pushed forward or backward? Do you have any restrictions for movement? Lower back issues frequently have glute, quad, and/or psoas involvement. All require different approaches depending on what causes the issues for you.

Since you mentioned he's an RMT, that's Canada, yes? The training and regulations there are the real deal. Don't over read anything about this session except for the physical contact. If he's legitimately an RMT, pressing his penis into you is not an accident, especially since he did it twice. But, as you suggest, that may be as far as he'll go. I've known plenty of attractive men and women over the years who flirt and use the temptation of their assets to make some money. Being in a separate room with a door is pretty typical in a spa or legitimate massage business, except for places with a chiro/PT focus, then you get the one big room with everyone together. Or in those Asian places with hanging dividers, but the vibe in such places is usually very clear. As others have said, you need to relax and enjoy whatever you're experiencing. He needs to be driving. You say you came in for back trouble? Any good LMT/RMT will have done an assessment and identified the problem spots, which for lower back issues, are frequently related to pelvic muscles. Is he draping you with a sheet? If yes, then does he step out to give you time to undress? Then remove your pants and keep your underwear on for a session or two and see how it goes. Let him know when something feels good or he's found a trouble spot. It's not always clear to the MT. Again, be relaxed, respectful, and non-pushy, even the penile contact is enough to cause an investigation that may cost him his career. Don't be a creep about it.

He's wearing a suit? I didn't notice.

Generally speaking and assuming healthy tissues in the mouth and throat, the risk for HIV transmission is extremely low in oral sex without condoms. It is not zero, but it is very low. That is not true for many other STIs. Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Hepetitis, Herpes, HPV, and Syphilis are all readily transmitted via oral sex without condoms. Part of the reason we have record breaking numbers for these infections is probably all the oral sex without condoms and the people who think oral sex is safe. There's no such thing as safe sex. It is possible to make sex safer, but never 100% safe when one or more people are involved. If you're going to engage in oral sex without a condom for cock sucking or a dental dam for eating ass or pussy, then educate yourself on the risks, learn what symptoms may feel and look like, understand that most infected men are asymptomatic, get tested regularly, and understand that some STIs are able to colonize the rectum or throat in such a way that they don't show on blood/urine tests. Only swab tests will catch them, so be honest with your doctor about the condomless sex you have so the correct tests can be performed and you can be treated. Also, talk to your doctor about your vaccinations. HPV is a must, (if you're under 45, to help protect against the record growth in oral cancers. Hepatitis A/B vaccines are strongly encouraged for MSM (Men who have Sex with Men). And depending on where you live or travel, the meningitis vaccine may be recommended. For example, LA has had an outbreak for about four years now and encourages every MSM be vaccinated. Finally, understand that antibiotic resistance is becoming urgently concerning for gonorrhea in the USA. I mention this because STIs are serious health issues. Don't trivialize them because they're treatable. The big three (gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis) are likely to become fully resistant to current treatments over the next few decades. Know the risks, make your choices, and be mature enough to be honest about them with your doctor and with your sexual partners. The coronavirus impacted STD/STI testing and is expected to continue to impact it for the foreseeable future, since the USA was already seeing record highs for multiple STIs it's important to know we don't have good visibility into STI rates in the USA right now. Distancing has likely reduced sexual activity so perhaps it's a wash. Escorts and MSM are high risk categories so understand the risks you're taking. Get the relevant vaccines if you haven't already and be a responsible human being as you fulfill your sexual interests. In the interests of full disclosure, I have all my shots and I'm tested regularly. I have one regular fuck buddy and an occasional professional who catches my eye. I like the taste of precum and cum. Over the past couple of decades, I've had oral chlamydia once. It was scary but fortunately I caught it early because I felt the sore throat and it was treatable. I am getting more careful about who I have sex with because LA county continues (6 years now) to set records for multiple STIs and syphilis among women is climbing rapidly, in part probably because of increasing MSM activity among sexually flexible men between 25 and 35, which means congenital syphilis is increasing too and no child should catch it.

Metaphorically speaking, it's me.

It's hopefully a long overdue reckoning.

I'm glad you're feeling better. The shot was fine for all of us, though one had a sore arm for a couple days. There are other ways to choke the pharmacist. ?

I used to when the kids were little and likely to wake us up or sleep with us because I wanted my morning wood well controlled. Now, I'm back just in my boxer briefs because I run hot. Nude is just one step too far for me.

You know me, I love many BDSM scenes.

I don't want to derail this thread, so feel free to DM, but I'd be interested in understanding the perspective that "Findom" is in the same category as pedophila, domestic abuse, or racist bigotry/violence? Findom can be a healthy kink if we're talking fully informed consensual kink exploration. But, if we're talking about actually abuse/manipulation then that's problematic in a number of ways.

It's been a long time since I was on SA, but one time I was looking while visiting a local college and recognized one of their division 1 athletes. I didn't pursue, way too close to home. Another time, I met an athlete in grad school with the largest blessing I've ever experienced. Beyond those two gems, a whole lot of time wasters and scammers filled my inbox until I became proficient at filtering and spotting them. SA is much more about the patient stalking hunt than the wham bam hookup of apps and bars.
