There's some clear clues on which venues are happy ending parlors.

  • Avoid places with completely curtained windows. At least the lobby area should be visible to the public.

  • Seek out places that refer to "massage therapists". Avoid "masseuse" or "massage parlor".

  • The "crystal healing" "sound bath" hippy dippy places might try to sell you mushrooms but they are less likely to grab your dick.

  • Avoid cash only places, they are trying to hide paper trails. Even if you're paying out of pocket, any place that accepts insurance isn't offering a "secret menu" .

  • Low stated prices might mean they get by on big handy-based tips. They're cheap for a reason. Medium priced places are just charging for normal services.

  • Check what kind of person is in their online reviews. If it's a middle aged man talking about how beautiful the "girls" are, skip. If it's a Karen complaining about how they used CBD oil, it's probably fine.

  • Strip malls in general seem to attract this business niche, too. I'm not sure why.

If you're normally comfortable getting a massage naked, consider keeping your underwear on for your first visit with a new practitioner.

No rush, wait a few years. Enjoy the amazing body you have right now. You don't realize it but you are so fast and can climb so well at your age. Join a capture the flag league. I'd trade a weed trip for 1 afternoon with a teenage body any day! Jump off a cliff into a swimming hole. Backpack across a continent. Skateboard until you fuck up your knees.

I feel like that was a tactical feint. The whole warning was just setting up the Nazi to defend the wrong front, then go for the gut punch. Our boi is a strategic genius.

Also, I just realized what you meant by "you're supposed to say no Mom". Your mom was literally telling you to lie to avoid getting in trouble.

Ok, but wtf is this thing your mom texted you "Dad wants a treat, send me your grades?"

I cannot imagine a man telling his wife he wants a treat for Halloween, and then being satisfied with that treat being an early update on his kid's grades. She is making that shit up so she has an excuse to supervise your grades.

Your mom feels like a very anxious person, always checking in about all the stuff you describe, and making the whole family anxious. Almost all your examples of lying are to your mom because it feels like she's pressuring you (probably because of her own anxiety). You've said enough things in your post to make me think your mom lies a lot too, and has modeled her anxiety and lying in a family setting to you a lot. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say you lie because she taught you to lie.

Some advice:

  1. Pay attention to whether you lie to your friends as much as you lie to older adults (especially parent figures like your coach).
  2. Make a rule never to lie to people your own age. Don't let the lie pattern spread.
  3. Work the family lying stuff out with your therapist ASAP while you have a young highly neueoplastic brain and can undo these patterns. If you don't have a therapist, talk with your college's health center, you can probably get one through them.

Something that surprised me in my travels (which are primarily West of the Mississippi) is how often the states actually line up with a significant geologic shift. Arizona is endless orange desert. New Mexico immediately becomes rainbow painted cliffs. Utah is somehow entirely vertical. California is a contradiction of green desert. Nevada is like a chemical mine puked on a bunch of bumpy ridges. Northern New Mexico falls off a cliff and the bottom is Texas.

If you watch closely, usually something fairly dramatic happens in the landscape within a few miles of the border.
