03-23-21 02:29 #4909This is just taking control of the narrative. It's like how gay people started calling themselves "queer", and eventually "LGBT"; once you start defining your own category (or someone else's) you gain a certain amount of power over yourself (or others, as the case may be.). There's a good essay by Thomas Szasz on this very subject (no link, but you might Google it?)

FWIW, I *have* met some pretty "caring" sex workers! (and I'd say they outnumber the handful of frightening narcissists and psychopaths I've also met in the game.).

Now that you mention it
A whack shot up a grocery store in Boulder, CO today. So far ten are dead including a police officer. The perp is alive and appears to be a pudgy white male. The beat goes on. Originally Posted by SkyWookie

Never pass up a tragedy to exploit
The author is a woke Asian female from California who knows that emotion sells. Just another scab capitalizing on last week's tragedy, no better than the media turds and political hacks. Originally Posted by TheWiseacre

Someone break this down for me.
If sex work is care work, I need a new career.

03-22-21 20:13 #4901I would not panic in the least over this. I believe it's a one-off and not likely to happen for a long time, if ever. I liken the chances to a woman with huge tits removing her bra at a weak spot on the San Andreas fault and causing Armageddon. Could happen? Yeah, but not fucking likely!

03-22-21 20:09 #4900All three parlors been reviewed extensively over the years. Young's was a Chinese parlor (rub and tug) and the other two were Korean parlors (full service). Those women are not trafficked in any way. Koreans are usually recruited from Korea but not forced into anything. Their network allows them to move around freely to different parlors in the States and they even have their own "taxi" system to move them around. Originally Posted by EarlSandwich

Yes, Flushing, NY has a shit ton of Koreans and there's a lot of shady stuff that happens there (mostly gambling and real estate dealings), but forcing women to work against their will is not one of them.

03-22-21 17:56 #4898I carry in general (point of clarity, Georgia has a Firearms Permit, not a concealed carry permit; if you have a GA Firearms permit, you can carry open or conceal), but if I visited a spa I would leave it in the glovebox. Originally Posted by RedneckStud

If you aren't going to be in possession of your gun for some period of time, which is going to happen in a spa, it's better not to have it. I mean, you can't really take it to the table shower with you, so at least for a few minutes it's in your *unlocked* spa room. When you're fucking, you're not going to be wearing it or have it on hand. I guess you could set it on the little table with the lotions and tissues, but again, there are just times when YOU are not really in control of the gun; I mean, if she's riding you asian cowgirl, she has an easier reach for it, since you need to kind of twist around. It just doesn't work.
(I guess if it's jacket season you could pocket-carry a microcompact like a P938 or a LC9 and drape your jacket on the chair so you could reach and draw pretty quickly, but you still have the unattended firearm during the table shower.).
Part of the appeal of AMPs (or KAMPs, at least) is that in general there is SOME kind of admittance process. Usually you go up, and there might be an intercom, or at least a little waiting room before you actually enter the facility. In theory, even leaving clothes in the room to go to the table shower is an exercise in "I hope my clothes will still be here", but at least you've gone through 3-4 doors and a mamas to get into the room. Frankly, they need buzz-in security at any AMP, but if this guy had patronized these places, they'd have buzzed him in anyway. Still, a little more secure.

Yes
I too have a permit. I carry everywhere, years before this happened. The gun is useless in the car and also just gives a scumbum the opportunity to steal your gun and use it in ways that you would not want it used. The places I go to know that I carry and they are good with it, especially now, but then they have known me for a long time and they know I won't back down from a situation. New places might be different though since this is so fresh and they will probably be frightened at the sight or the appearance of a gun. In that case the emphasis should be on the term "conceal" so that they don't see it. As a responsible gun owner I'm sure that you know what to do and what will be the right call to make.

Outline
I'm guessing a month ago they wouldn't have given it a second thought, but now they might panic, might even leave the room and call the police being subtle about it. Originally Posted by RedneckStud

Too carry
I think as long as you were able to keep it 100% concealed you would be alright. But if they saw it they would think you were the police or had ill intent. The other problem is if you are required to leave room for table shower or saunas. I don't think it would be a good idea to leave it unattended. If you do carry, but leave it in car, for the love of god spend the 50 dollars and get a lock box for your car. The glove box or under your seat is not sufficient. It's a calculated risk. In all honesty you are more at risk in the parking lot vs actually in the spa. I am about as paranoid as can be. I think this incident was a once in a hundred year events. I would worry more about a straight up robbery at a spa then another avenger. I avoid Atl after dark. I scurry around during the day and head out of town at dusk. With that being said I realize most beefs at the clubs I go to are about past beefs, bad deals or " disrespect" none of which apply to me. I don't know these people and is too old to be a challenge to their respect. I elect not to talk about my opinions on Trump, blm and prison reform at the club. So thankfully the worse things that might happen to me is being ignored. In closing everywhere you go you are a target. If you like me find it hard to relax, but still need to engage in hobby it will be well worth it to spend the extra cash. Get a hotel room and lock door once she's in. Stay safe.
