Nothing ruins a massage session faster for me than when the provider starts to talk about her boyfriend. I'm not naive, and I know a lot of these girls have boyfriends/husbands, but it's not something I want to hear when we're both naked.

Why do some girls do this? Is it to let the client know that she's taken and not to ask her out?

... on when she says it and what she says. I enjoy conversation during the massage portion and since I'm not going to monopolize it, she gets to pick the subject some times. If her boyfriend/hubby is the topic on her mind, I'm not bothered so long as the tone is reasonably edifying.  If she wants to tell me about something fun they did together, that's fine. If she just wants to vent about what an asshole he is, or how he mistreats her, that's not appropriate. Telling me how good he is in bed would be evaluated on a case by case basis. If she's just bragging I'm not really interested. If she can tell a good story, bring it on.

Once we get to the happy ending I really want her to be concentrating on me. Talking about anything else at that point would be a turn-off. Massage with a happy ending is not GFE so for me it's as good as it gets if I'm with a woman who really enjoys giving pleasure. I don't expect her to pretend I'm anything special to her.

I don't know why they do it but I suggest you change the subject to something else.

I do not think I would like a provider talking about her boyfriend.

Actually now that I think of it I did have a massage provider one time tell me a bizarre story about how she recently fucked her boyfriend's father.  TMI!  It wasn't too much of a buzz kill because I wasn't really clicking with her anyway.

But if it was a provider that I was feeling a connection with and she started talking about her boyfriend/hubbie I would be bummed.  I know the connection is temporary and all but in our time together I want her to put that aside for me.

I also don't mind being asked out.
I'll definitely change the subject if asked about my dating life.
Totally agree just like I don't wanna hear about other ladies or your SO.

Several years ago in Indianapolis, one masseuse I visited went on and on about how her mother was driving her nuts. (The masseuse was supposed to be getting married the following weekend.) I thought it'd just be for a few minutes so I let her vent; it turned out to be more than a few minutes and more than once, I had to ask her to back off on the pressure. Then after the flip and during the finale, she started up on how her fiancee didn't trust her -- all during the finale.

A couple years back, I tried out another therapist. Everything started off nice and quiet and mellow. I had the distinct impression there wasn't going to be anything extra, but that was okay -- I was enjoying the massage. But, just as I started dozing off (yeah, it was a good massage), she started yammering about her kids, not for the whole hour, just a few minutes. And every time I'd get relaxed, she'd start up about her kids. Agh!

I don't know about the other guys, but when I'm at a strip joint and one of the first things a dancer says to me is that she's a single mother -- pretty much right after she says, "Hi" -- I immediately lose interest, not just because it blows the fantasy bubble but largely because I know she's going to try to hit me up for a major tip.

If it happens on the first visit, that will be the last visit with her.  It has happened pretty regularly with MPs I've seen on multiple visits.  Boyfriends/husbands/kids/etc get mentioned once there is a higher comfort level from having seen a gal a few times, at least in my case.  Sometimes it's as simple as asking how things are going and the discussion evolves to real life stuff.  While that is probably a natural progression in a friendship, it's one of the reasons I've cut back on my activity.  The other reason is that I'm turning into a crabby old fart.  

Either he gave her the impression that he was interested in OC time or she wasn't into giving the massage.
In the first instance, if someone is fishing for private info than I "always" have a boyfriend.
The second situation, she might be sidetracked with boyfriend/family drama & doesn't realize this is your time & she needs to STFU
Either scenario, you might wanna try a second visit & see if you get the same result.

If you are who I think you are, you aren't the least crabby
~are ya with me....

Why not politely ask the provider not to talk about their SO, that it dampers the fantasy for you?  I have to believe in nearly all cases the topic will not come up again.

For me, this can be a part of establishing a level of comfort with the provider and some I know look forward to hearing about the continuing soap opera that is my life!  But it also is not a prerequisite for a great session and I certainly respect a providers desire to keep their private life private.
