Dean, Sensual massage and bodywork for men (M4M) in the St Louis and Southern Illinois area. Midwest USA. Pro-sexwork, pro-trans rights, He/Him
I usually don't see clients this close to Christmas but several do have free time to text. Some of my body work clients (more than massage) have very inventive imaginations and I find myself having two or more conversations at a time about the next visit, fantasies and requests.

Last week.went to dinner with friends on Grand Avenue in St Louis. Been ages since visiting the Tower Grove area, walking down the street seeing all the shops and restaurants- many new to me. It was fucking freezing but great to visit my old neighborhood from way way back.

Listening to Watts The Safepod with Pup Amp and Sampson Nightly and in twenty minutes they mention three of my all time favorite shows: Bee and Puppycat, Steven Universe and callout to the incomparable Ice Bear.
As if I didn't already love these guys. And Ice Bear.

Great idea for a business next year. Jockstrap Tree Decorating Service.
Like a nude maid but taking care of those pesky lights and ornaments.

So all those guys seeking incalls during the blizzard last week that caused huge traffic tie-ups, accidents and icy roads? Driveway is clear now. I'll warm up the oil.

Over the years I've noticed that when the weather starts to change my phone starts going off with clients. Memorably back when the region was hit with eight inches of snow in two days and I couldn't even see my driveway much less the road and guys would contact me asking for an outcall.

Got a text from out of state number asking about massage services. I had to play 20 questions to get the info. Monday and/or Tuesday, two massages. Finally got that it's for two people.
A man and his son.
In the course of my reply asked his son's age.
17.

Every day I clicky click on to RentMasseur to see who has visited my profile ad and see if there's any messages. Occasionally I do a check on who is working in St Louis this week.
Holy crap. There's guys all over. And a lot of hot Daddy types. No wonder business is slow. Damn.

I borrowed a VHS player to check a bunch of tapes found in a box. I'll run each movie through all the way - which is not how these particular videos were usually viewed - to make sure the tapes are in good shape. I'm going to sell them on Ebay, like the magazines. Then discover Ebay doesn't allow

I've been advertising on RentMasseur, the man on man massage site, for many years. I remember submitting a photo for my profile of me in a sleeveless shirt and gym shorts, but cropped at the waist. Rejected because it looked like underwear.
Flash forward a few years and ads feature jocks, thongs...

Few months ago sold a bunch of gay erotic books and magazines on the ebay. Found a big box of VHS tapes from another era so borrowed a player to make sure the movies are OK after years in storage.
Never actually watched an entire video in one sitting before. Got to make sure they are in top shape.

When things are slow business-wise I check out the local listings on RentMasseur site. There's the familiar local faces but this morning quite a few new guys. Looking at the new profiles I see a lot of "Visiting St Louis" with the dates. At first I thought a crowd of bodyworkers were converging

Shipped a copy of Colt Studio's Olympus magazine (from the 80's) to a buyer in Indianapolis. Sent from St Louis. Tracking shows it's currently being moved around in Washington state. The USPS lady seemed perplexed as well. Address is correct. It's just taking a little tour of the country.

Got a message last night on RentMasseur from a guy in St Louis. Asking if I was running any specials for Monday morning. When I replied "Specials?" he wrote "10% off."
I've run into this when I lived in Florida. There's people all over that state who think nothing of asking a stranger for discounts.

Challenge: Gay events stop using AI slop for your promotion materials. Off hand I know at least a dozen queer graphic artists that would happily design your posters.

Makes me less inclined to want to give you my money honestly. 😒

Before travelling to a city/choosing a stopping point on a trip, I check RentMasseur and the sites to see many guys are advertising there, if there's any business. That's how I started staying in Chattanooga, TN, when driving to Florida instead of Nashville - which is full of service providers.

Just looking over my blog - from another century when people wrote longer entries and before (believe it or not) social media - and saw something I wrote years ago;
Men pay me to get naked (or wear a jock on occasion) and massage their bodies. It’s an intimate experience where they

I often get clients asking for four-hand massage. I've done it before but the guys I worked with moved away. One moved with his husband to LA, another to Colorado to be near family, another retired and now lives with a former client.
With all the guys I've worked with it went really well. We are

Listening to a favorite podcast Betwixt The Sheets, host Kate Lister ‪@k8lister.bsky.social‬. Episode about What Made You Ugly In Medieval Times? brought up several thoughts. Talking about how teeth were better back then than now, the book Consider The Fork has research: before the advent of the

Business was slow in the sensual massage trade over March and April. Not sure what happened but from what I heard (from one other service provider) it was happening all over. But since then things have picked up big time. Thankfully. Meeting a lot of new business travellers as well as locals.

Had lunch today with a guy I hear from every year or so. First encountered him about 2018 when he was looking for a college type guy, blond sex worker. He apologized big time that I wasn't the type he was looking for - he was more tactful - but was having trouble finding a guy. I helped him out

One of my favorite, and very imaginative regular clients asked me to meet him at the Club Baths Friday afternoon. We've done it before. He says he loves 'showing me off' - which makes me feel really himbo-esque - and we wander around, enjoy the facilities, meet nice men and then...
