[QUOTE=Trickster666;7519848]Is sex with condom a real sex? Isn't it essentially a mutual masturbation? I am inclined to think the latter.[/QUOTE]How about this:

Any sex that doesn't result in a pregnancy is just mutual masturbation.

I'll address your mental masturbation.

I get your point -- for many men, the focus is on, entirely, what contacts their penis and stimulates and induces an orgasm. For many women, the focus is on what's entering their body. For them there is a difference between a rubber inanimate dildo vs. A man's penis covered in rubber, said penis being attached to the rest of the man at the time.

So you are saying that it's not mutual masturbation as for women even protected sex is sex because they could not abstract from the fact that this rubber covered dick belongs to a man. Maybe.

I recall, back when I was a student in the Boston area, and then when I used to go back for business, there was a paper called, IIRC, the Phoenix. In the back of the paper there were hundreds of ads for escorts, massage parlors, etc. I used to get some very good dates out of those ads. There was a time when I'd be in a hotel for a week and made a date through those ads every night. I know the paper went out of business sometime around 2012. Is there any replacement for it (besides the Internet)? Any local paper like the Phoenix with escort ads in the back of the paper? Just curious. Mostly.

When meeting providers for an incall do you feel safer and more comfortable meeting in a hotel, condo, apartment or house?

Hotel by leaps and bounds. Guaranteed parking, no ones going to question why you're there, no nosy neighbors.

Residential buildings of any type has way more risks for the girls and you. The neighbors, and foot traffic are way less than any hotel will ever be, so even just regular neighbors or building management can tell when someone in the building is running out of them.

However, nothing has replaced it.

[QUOTE=TheIslandBear;7539376]When meeting providers for an incall do you feel safer and more comfortable meeting in a hotel, condo, apartment or house?[/QUOTE]I've never felt comfortable with all of the above. Some hotels are better suited for privacy that others. I remember an incall at a hi-rise in Revere. It was so busy that from the elevator to the condo door the carpet was pretty much worn to the threads.

The newspaper business is circling the drain, and online versions fare no better. They all lose money; it's just a question of how fast they lose it. So there's never going to be a replacement for the Boston Phoenix.

And in light of SESTA / FOSTA, no "legit" business in the US would publish those ads online.

Personal safety cannot be assured in any of those situations. Bad actors can hide in the bathroom shower, or in a closet. If the people behind the ad want to rob you or do you harm, no incall type of location really is better than others.

In south eastern Mass, when LE runs an ad and trolls for johns, thery'll do it out of a cheap hotel room.

But hotels offer the fewest downsides to me. I feel like you can mitigate the LE risk too by only seeing well reviewed providers that have reviews spanning at least a few months. Going to someone you don't know anything about feels too risky to me. I know that might lead me to miss out on some great providers that travel through, but I'd rather be cautious and miss out than have my face plastered on the news.

Recently chatted with a provider in a dream about why she came back from a FL vacay (normal vacay, not state sponsored) when MA is so cold. Her response was there's more stings in FL and less in MA. Do you think that's really true? I countered that may be true but busts still do happen in MA as well. But it did get me thinking if there's state to state differences in tolerance and effort put in by LEO into this.

Even town to town in the same state. Methuen closed all their AMPs down. Leominster did it a couple years ago. Even though they had been operating for years.

All depends on who is in charge and their agenda.

If the rent is getting paid, landlord isn't going to complain. If it's not effecting neighboring businesses, they won't complain. All it takes is for one screw up and a phone call to get someone to start paying more attention. Years ago, there was a place on cape that never seemed to get busted but rumor was would anonymously call in complaints on the competition (I tend to think the rumor was true knowing the person, and having done some side work for her-I was always treated well but.). Any busts that business would never be caught.
