Handjobs are safe. But beware of contracting the LEO virus.
[QUOTE=Nighthawk1955; 1358304]He never qualified his question about safety.
I am not worried about the Feds. Was much more worried about state or local fuzz.[/QUOTE]I think when the original question "are HJs safe" the assumption was regarding contracting an STD. The same way as if I asked, is going bareback safe? I am sure the assumption from my fellow hobbyists about my question, is regarding the likelihood of getting an STD from intercourse without a condom. I am also sure the response would be about how high risk and dangerous it would be and how I would very likely catch any number of STD's and what I fool I was for even thinking about it. I do not think the common response would be that I could be video taped and arrested. According to the medical web sites, if you catch any STD from a HJ you are about the most unluckiest monger in the world. If you are worried about the legal risk and possible embarrassment, I would say those are definite concerns but I think If you are that paranoid about it, this hobby is not for you.
Regarding the post where LE forces the AMP provider to setup a sting or else get deported, seems like the stuff of movies, lot of effort for a misdemeanor crime. Generally speaking from all the news stories I read it goes like this. Cop goes to AMP one or more times, eventually provider offers HJ for $, cop makes an arrest. Eventually AMP place closes due to community legal pressure, but no mongers arrested. If anyone is ever in the unlikely situation where an AMP is raided, do not admit to anything accept a massage. This may sound obvious, but in those situations people tend to panic and become overly cooperative thinking if they are totally honest with police things will go better, they won't. Keep calm and remember, LE is there to make as many arrests as possible, so don't panic and get all blabby about how this is the first time, you have not done anything like this before and promise not to do it again.
Bottom line: Handjobs in and of themselves are safe. There is a small LE risk, but I think most of us have figured that out.
Which place was videotaped?
[QUOTE=Nighthawk1955;1358086]"A while back a establishment in the region was busted. As an aside, they had been secretly videotaping clients with therapists. I have NO DOUBT there is video, in the hands of law enforcement, of me receiving a HJ."[/QUOTE]Dang, that is stressful. Which place was busted and videotaped?
