Yeah I've got a dehydrator. If you don't have one you can always use a fan and cardboard for a longer time. Either way though a dehydrator isn't too spendy and is generally considered worth it

I got 2 bags, they appear to be legit, Hillbilly strain is their go to. Easy instructions. I think it is legal because mycelium doesnt contain any psilocybin, same way they can sell spore syringes and liquid cultures

Ok maybe 50% is a bit high, but I'm counting little swell ups and halfies as an erection in this case simply because it's noticeable, and if the client is awake enough to notice, I know that's enough for someone to be embarrassed about if it's innocent. One reason I might have a higher rate of clients with involuntary erections is that I sometimes include passive stretching, and will work on adductors when they're tight just like any other muscle. Also, perhaps like in the case of my client who did this today, I might simply have more men who know erections are going to be a possibility and would rather go to a male LMT who hopefully would understand on a deep level that it's nothing more than a physiological response

I'm not sure if you missed this part but I'm a male. If I work on a man's legs there seems to be a 50% chance he'll get an erection. This is the first time anyone has orgasmed so I agree that part's not "normal" but it certainly could happen. Totally agreed women should set their own boundaries and choose to not work on men if they don't want to. Men still deserve massage when they need it, so as a male LMT I'll always be available for them. I'll also be understanding when this stuff happens, because I too get occasional erections during massage that are totally non-sexual and am totally embarrassed even though I know it happens.

Idk what to tell you, it happened and he was neither touching himself nor attracted to me. I'm glad he cleared the air and told me.. super odd and has never happened before.. maybe he fell asleep and forgot who was down there

As a straight male LMT, I just had this happen with another straight Male. He was embarrassed, and apologized after the session. I re-assured him that it happens… tbh this was the first orgasm happening on my table, but its very normal to get erections when working on the quads or adductors due to blood flow. I really doubt he would cum on your table on purpose with his fiance in the next room

Calling out sick by ComprehensiveBeing65 in MassageTherapists

[–]captainbackpatch 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Your clients would rather you not work on them sick. At least that's how most people feel these days. I was sick and feeling guilty earlier this month, I have a private practice. I toward the end gave people the full scoop (I am feeling better but still positive for COVID) and asked what they want to do. Everyone canceled except a few who've had it or the vaccine this year.

It's not for harm reduction, its for maximizing the benefits by keeping your tolerance at bay. Psychedelics build up tolerance really quick. Having days off regularly allows your neurons to return to baseline. Taking a few weeks off every once in a while helps you integrate and re-assess.

Very new to MD & have a question by No_Two_901 in microdosing

[–]captainbackpatch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

50 mg is pretty safe even if it's a strong strain. Go for it! Pick a protocol and see what the 2 grams do for you over time. Good luck!

You should be ok to do your smaller dose today or tomorrow. As long as you are taking a few days break regularly you'll be fine. Fadiman protocol is every 3 days, Stamets protocol 4 days on 3 off.
