...given the seriousness of the corona virus/covid-19, should we be hobbying at all?  I have suspended activities, given the increasingly dire information regarding infectiousness, severity, mortality rate....  I am no saint, I am no hero, just a guy with a strong self-preservation sensibility.

i have spoken to several top ladies and they are staying home right now . while they stress about money they realize its not worth it to expose themselves.    i think the next 6 weeks is going to be very quiet.  

It seems to me that the risks are minimally different between a massage and FS, in that both run a high degree of likelihood of contamination of skin and orifices (eyes, ears, nose, throat) by viral transfer.  It seems logical that the masseuse standing at your side jerking your cock has almost as much chance of spreading the virus to you by coughing, sneezing, snorting, breathing, as does a FS provider.  Of course, DFK would appear to be a no-brainer transfer mechanism but similarly so would nuzzling a masseuse's neck or breasts.

It is, unfortunately, time to take a pause and remember the long term benefits. With diligence and some luck, hopefully life will be back to normal before too terribly long. Feeling bad for those that rely solely on this income. But staying healthy has to be the determining factor.  

As much as I monger (and it's ALOT, lol) I have decided it's not worth the risk of possibly bringing the virus home to my family. I guess if it were just me I might consider taking a chance and continuing hitting SC's and getting my weekly "massage", but even then it would be pure selfishness on my part. I want to be part of the solution, not the problem.

It is a huge bummer all around, agreed! For me personally, I'm not taking any chances right now. I stopped all of my usual activities (gym, dates, going to dinner, etc) a few weeks ago.  
 I look SO forward to this passing for many reasons but also so we can resume getting and giving the TLC we all desire and deserve.  
xo

definitely taking a break. I was suppose to meet with a provider last week and we called it off for now.  

every few days showing where the coronavirus cases are within the county.  Most for LA are on the west side of DTLA.  I'm still going strong, but avoiding the areas that seem to have more risk.  Its not foolproof, but neither is picking up my dry cleaning or getting a haircut.  

Reason you see more cases on the westside is because its a more affluent area and thus easier to get tested, the spread is bigger than reported but there are poorer areas that are not being tested so they are not added to that data base.. I live in the westside (BWood) and was able to get tested 2 times (dr orders) all came back negative. But try if you have a private doctor you can get a test pretty easily.  HMO's not so sure.

I have jerked off so much being home all day and night that both my hands are killing me!!! LOL

I see regular customers not bare even thou they are look healthy. Also they should wesr a face mask so they dropped any drops

my wife says we can have sex ... i just can not breath on her    

You should be able to hold your breath for two and a half minutes.  Lol

Everything for me is on the back burner. Not only is there the risk of you catching the virus yourself, but there’s the risk of passing it on to your family and friends inadvertently since it now appears you can be contagious without exhibiting any symptoms..

2 1/2 minutes ?!?!?  ...   what am i supposed to do with the final 2 minutes  LOL  

If this lasts another month he'll be able to crush a Volkswagen with his right hand.  Lol

Gentlemen

unbridled optimism.  Considering the alternative, which is I pay in advance for a session, and by the time my appointment comes around, I'm dead,  what happens then?  Does this become part of my estate to be passed on to one of my heirs?
