Rants, Raves and Opinions AKA "The Octagon"

Even the CDC finally admitted cloth masks are ineffective. A similar study even showed how N95 masks are also vulnerable.

But yes it is true that in the AMP culture, masks are a part southeast Asian society, so that dynamic is always in play.

You misread.

The CDC stated almost a year ago that cloth masks are "NOT AS effective" as other masks.

Never did they state that the cloth was ineffective. Something is better than nothing. Duh.

Double Duh.

I come back on here after days to see that we are still talking about masks.

If you want to know if that parlor has mask or not just ask. Believe it or not they don't have to wear them if they don't want to so if they are that probably means they do.

If you hate it SOOOO much just leave and find another place.

Masks are proven to be effective in preventing unwanted pearl neckless.

Why all of this bantering back and forth. I have been going to AMPs for years. No one wore a mask before the pandemic. This is girls just be afraid of illness after SARS killed thousands of them. COVID is a variant of SARS. In fact, in medical circles, it was often referred to as SARS II.

Anyway, these girls see maybe 4 or 6 people a day with that person mostly face down. The risk of infection is small. When you to to work or the grocery store or public transportation, that is where you will contract something. An AMP friend told me, her boss ordered the girls to stop wearing masks. Customers do not like it. So, if you like masks; carry on! I will just walk back out the door! Hospitals and doctors are no longer requiring masks. Does that tell you anything?

Agree with above. Masks make wearer 'feel safer' however, most over the counter, box of 100 type, bulk surgical masks are not certified for use as respiratory protective devices (RPDs). The micron holes in masks are larger than the aerosol influenza type virus.

Pretty much this. It's part of the culture to just wear mask in that area of the world and it simply makes sense during not only Covid, but now the flu season to wear mask when meeting a ton of people all day. You have every right to not want service if they wear it, but trying to get them to stop when the upside is you seeing their face and the downside is them potentially getting sick is weird.

You have a right to your opinion but all have to remember that ASians have been wearing masks to prevent the spead of illness for a long time. The virus is still an issue and spreading. These ladies have the right to protect themselves.

Agree %100 they wear masks to protect themselves they have no idea what the guy walking in the door might have.

The pandemic is pretty much over. In my opinion, masks are costing several places around town to lose business. While I respect public health measures, a masseuse wearing a mask will lose my business. For all you mask haters, Woodbridge, New Concept and Summit are verified maskless. Doctor's offices are no longer requiring patients to wear masks including Christ Hospital.

My thoughts, if a masseuse is wearing a mask, she could be sick. Who wants to take that chance?

Time to start walking out if they are still WP wearing masks. It won't take long for them to get the point.

Just in doing a search from a question in another thread for someone who I thought might match a familiar looking provider, I realized that she wasn't the one I thought, because that one was dead, probably another OD victim. Looking on her friends list, realized one of them is another provider who died, this one I believe of ovarian cancer -- not really hobby related, though possibly started with HPV that was hobby related. I used to keep count of providers in the area I knew who are no longer with us, and I literally have lost count, but believe it's over 30. They almost all died under 40. It is a hard life.

At least a few recently I've come across who are out, doing well. But between the ones who've died, the ones who moved on, the ones I moved on from because I just can't watch them disintegrate anymore. Pickings get slim. It may be time to pack it in.

As mentioned earlier, on a per provider basis, Blue Ash continues to be active. Just heard some more evidence of that recently. Not seeing that they do monger stings, but certainly they're hunting for any provider they discover working the city.

Been at this many years with many visits to Sharonville that never resulted in a LEO encounter (one trip through Springdale where it was suspicious, but not confirmed). All things considered, given the number of cheap notels there, I'm not sure the rate of LEO activity is really higher than anywhere else. I've definitely known providers busted in Blue Ash, where it's also very active, and no one ever writes about it. For the amount of hobby activity, the rate of LEO activity may well be higher in Union Township (Clermont) from what I've seen: They're pretty active. And while I've never encountered it, I believe the Boone County LEO reports are problematic. Knew at least one relatively low volume provider busted there once.

City of Cincinnati I don't see much sign of SW monger stings or indoor stings recently, but I think they're pretty active scooping up obvious walkers and bringing them in on warrants -- something that also definitely goes on in Sharonville these days -- but that's not going to snag a monger. This makes a lot more sense for cops, since most of the providers have active warrants on drug charges, and actually executing and prosecuting a prostitution bust is difficult, time consuming and yields less jail time anyway.

Bottom line, I don't think Sharonville is really worse than anywhere else, statistically.

Any issued I have had always came in Butler county.
