Yonic, why did you bring the intimate massage bit in. I don't think it appears as any relevant part of this discussion. (apologies if I have missed something, I often do)
It seems to me that he laid his cards on the table, and has been very forthright about what he is doing, and why he is doing it .
There is no deception, there is no exploitation imho.
Has he done anything illegal? (Actually, I don't know)
If phone sex would cost more than that, so what? Maybe he won't get any takers as they are all too busy making a mint from wanker punters.
