AIBU to think I won’t be a gumtree murder statistic?

My big question here - will I get murdered?

My back is full of tension and I’m desperate for a massage but also incredibly skint, so I googled 'free massages'. I found myself on gumtree where I found an offer for a free one hour deep tissue massage in exchange for a review. It looks to be at a business address - ie, not someone's house and it explicitly says that it's a Male masseuse looking for serious people and that it is absolutely not a sexual service!

I've emailed and arranged to go next week - but is this insane?? It's a free massage found on gumtree so I obviously have many concerns. But if it's legitimate it's a really good offer. Just to say I am female and (usually) very streetwise and cautious!

So AIBU to think that I can turn up for a free massage with no risk of murder? 😂

@youknowmedontyou now it's a funny story, then it was skeevy & disgusting. Thing is, he was really gorgeous, but HELLO, get your cock off my face!

The guy rested his cock & balls on my forehead.

@Vixxxy it was heavy too. Confused

Was a masseuse years ago in a very posh spa, you really do get all sorts - one chap tried to grope me whilst lying on his front so I grabbed his arm and pulled it up behind his back, told him if he did it again he would be asked to leave. He was perfectly behaved after and left a huge tip which I used to buy all the staff a drink!
Another time, a beautiful woman came in, got naked and laid face up on the couch with her legs akimbo. I covered her and remained professional, at the end she asked if I would consider a threesome with her and her husband! I politely declined Grin.

A friend did this a few years back. She took me along with her. We're both still alive, she said the massage was ok. I did not enjoy myself though.

It wasn't a great environment and I was quite creeped out if i'm honest. I was offered a can of coke whilst I waited, which was the best bit.

Oh my god I have spent a good 15 mins on the train snorting reading this thread. Thanks OP! I hope you survive to update us 😁

I'm sorry I know it's awful and really not funny but the image of this guy randomly resting his cock and balls on someone's forehead Grin

ItsBloodyFreezingg · 13/02/2019 19:01

STOP I am crying 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Well if this thread is the last thing you do OP, at least you've put a smile on some MN'ers faces!

Aridane · 13/02/2019 19:20

Don't you dare bottle it!

What do you think he was hoping my reaction would be? I mean, I'm pretty adventurous but ConfusedHmm

MotorcycleMayhem · 13/02/2019 19:38

God, this reminds me of a sports massage for a neck / shoulder injury I had. It was in a weird shared office type business building. Creepy as fuck. Found it via the Yellow Pages, so it seemed legit. I swear the only people in this 100 office place were me and this sleazy podgy 50-something bloke. He smelt of BO and his hands were clammy.

I was so tense all the way through I swear it made it worse.

Didn't murder me though.

Be safe OP. Turn your tracking on on your phone.

Mrsmummy90 · 13/02/2019 19:48

mrsmaggiemistletoe · 13/02/2019 19:59

ItRubsTheLotionOnItsSkin · 13/02/2019 20:13

"Friday afternoon? Yes I can fit you in no problem, see you then"

AIBU to think I won’t be a gumtree murder statistic?
ItsBloodyFreezingg · 13/02/2019 20:17

Don't you dare bottle it!

Yes, you will never be welcome here again OP if you don't provide live updates on Friday. Take one for the team!

Coppermine · 13/02/2019 20:52

And what happens if you don't post back here after Friday? Shall we call the police? Your family? Luther?

SukisKettle · 13/02/2019 21:17

God, I've missed threads like this that really make me laugh and read out bits to DH! Hope we'll still all be laughing on Friday night OP.....

shadypines · 13/02/2019 21:21

OP, you cannot be serious????? You are either taking the mick or are very very silly, I don' t want to bet on which one but just in case it's the latter..

Don't take sweets off strangers either...or cross the road without looking.......... and the other million things you are taught as COMMON SENSE!!!!

Mrsmummy90 · 14/02/2019 23:23

Good luck tomorrow op! 🙈

covetingthepreciousthings · 15/02/2019 08:30
