The last massage I had was March 7th. The longer I go without, the more my desire goes into hibernation. The guys I usually see have been traveling, which would have made making an appointment with them a no-go upon their return. I guess I would rather have the peace of mind. That being said, I'm more apt to getting my haircut (2/28 was last time) before getting a massage.

So much truth in what others have said here. We are still in the first wave of infections in the US; the geography just changed, and maybe the demographics as more Millennials and Gen Zs get infected. Younger people appear to have a lower hospitalization rate, maybe as low as 4% while for older people >65 years, it may be 20%. Proportionally, people of color appear to be getting hit harder than Caucasians but that may be amplified by socioeconomic and co-morbidity factors. But, all in all, the virus doesn't care who you are, and whether it makes you symptomatic or not - for its success strategy, it's better having people up and about and spreading the infections person-to-person, which makes Millennials and GenZs (our favorite phenotype of masseur) prime vectors for transmission.
 
We are learning a lot about the virus incredibly fast. But with speed comes a lot of preliminary conclusions that turn out to be wrong - a lot of headlines are coming from scientific preprints that have not completed the review process. The popular press takes the preliminary conclusions, amplifies them, and maybe politicizes them. Then when something turns out to be false, there usually isn't the same amplification of the correction. Or, if it fits a political agenda, it's over-amplified to discredit science in general.
 
I think we've still got a potential for a huge wildfire of infections, with too many hotspots. and a high pressure system building (red states, too fast relaxing of lockdowns back to normality, and general non-compliance with whatever the locals rules are), and a high wind warning (resumption of travel, lack of social distancing). Our air tankers aren't ready (no vaccine, no good treatments yet), our firefighters aren't on the ground (no contact tracing), and our backfires and fire lines are weak (non-compliance). (As a Californian, I love my wildfire analogies). A lot of people ignore risks and fewer understand statistics. I have a sinking feeling that late September and October are going to be very ugly.
 
So for now and the foreseeable future until this first wave subsides, I'm jerking off, best I can while my dog is scratching at the bedroom door. If this goes on for many more months, my thirst for human physical contact and my little head may take control, and I may get a massage. But it would be with a masseur that I trust; in SF, I'm lucky to know educated masseurs with some experiences in real health education, including an ICU nurse. And if I do get a massage, it will be much more subdued in the sensual nature than I usually am looking for. And then I will be extra careful about my exposure to others for at least one week, so that my risk-choice is solely on me and not foisted upon unsuspecting others.

I'm not surprised seeing these news reports of people jammed together without masks in public. Orange County, which pushed their health official out because she wanted everyone to wear masks, is seeing a pretty strong spike now. Hopefully the public are smart enough to learn a lesson from this.

I find cemeteries peaceful and a place of repose and love to spend time walking, reading and just meditating in them. One might find me macabre, but if I'm not afraid of the living, why should I be of the dead?

I’m touch-deprived, isolated, and very depressed. But I’d rather be all of those things than COVID-infected. Scientists and medical professionals have consistently warned of a second wave without consistent and widespread precautions, and now we’re seeing that wave emerge. I’m continuing to abstain from massages while making small donations to my regular to help him make ends meet. I hope others exercise restraint as well for now.

1. Go to https://nl.hideproxy.me/index.php and if boxes aren't checked, check them.
2. Go to a provider's reviewer link, like this https://rent.men/NickSterling/reviews/ . Paste that URL in the "hideme" proxy's box, and then you'll see text, if there is any.
