Drinking and Eating on the Job

By Hawk Kinkaid, Boston

The strangest part is rarely the first moment of nakedness. Pretending to be so legitimate about the massage. Back to front. Subtle. Oiled. Obvious. Orgasm. Eventual. The most awkward moment comes when you are asking for a glass of water.

You eventually learn not to trust them. Not that the guys who pay for your services are bad guys. Most are fairly harmless, more scared of you than you could ever be of them. They watch their belongings and the mentioning of their names. Worry that you will remember their houses (which you do) or leave something behind. Some marker of their infidelity or interest in the same sex. Or just complication.

I am not a paranoid kind of guy. But you have to think this through clearly. Crystal. Some people like to play games with us. From forgetting their wallets (heard three times) to ducking out of travel costs or sneaking in more time. Some talk nice. Others bring gifts and try and work that out of the cost. There is an element of sportsmanship at work. For them it is fun. For you, it is a livelihood.

For that reason, don’t drink the water. Or take food. Unless it came direct from the faucet, from a previously unopened container, or was made right in front of you. It is tempting to ease the immediate tension of a new client by taking a beer or munching on a snack. And most of the time, there is no harm in it.

Most of the time. In our business, we have to make sure there are no dangerous experiences. We have to be aware that few people that call us are concerned about our well-being, and I don’t want to throw any more tension into your day-to-day work. The problem is, clients have slipped drugs into water. Food has been tainted. Guys like you and I have woken up hours later or the next day uncertain of what happened. A friend sat me down recently to tell me that it happened to him.

We all keep a mental list of how we work with our clients. We protect ourselves with dos and don’ts. I want to add a new one to your list. And it won’t take any extra stress for you to ask for your glass of water and watch it being filled. To keep it on a table away from your client during your session. To eat food only when you know its origins.

It might make you feel awkward to watch so closely and be cautious, but it is that carefulness that makes you good at what you do and able to bring pleasure to many more people!
