> [@Sampiro](#): > > I thought it spoke extremely well of him that he seems to care about Rekers- even said he enjoyed the trip and would like to remain his friend. He could also very easily lie about the level of sexual contact and claim there was full-on contact and nobody could dispute him, but remains with the ‘no, just nude massages’ version that is probably true. That’s what makes it believable, the fact that he’s not making any overly outlandish claims. He \*could \* be claiming that they went all the way, and there’d be no way to prove otherwise. But he’s just saying that they did massage and that Rekers didn’t even peak. Rekers OTOH is going to great lengths and stretching credulity to its outermost limits in an attempt to cover his ass and convince the world (and himself) that he’s not really gay. And his efforts are nothing but laughable. ---

> [@fervour](#): > > The University of South Carolina considers Rekers to be a “[Distinguished Professor of Neuropsychiatry and Behavioral Science, Subspecialty: Psychology](http://specialtyclinics.med.sc.edu/physlist/viewPhysician.asp?pID=354)”. Which doesn’t say much for their program, does it? [Simpsons Nelson] Ha Ha![/Simpsons Nelson] The University of South Carolina has removed the “distinguished” professor’s bio from their website. I still have to wonder how messed up are those psychiatrists unfortunate enough to have been trained by Rekers. ---

> [@Isamu](#): > > Meaning that twin beds = no sex? I don’t think so. If I were traveling with another male with whom I was having an illicit affair, I’d probably book twin bed too. Looks better to the hotel staff, raises no eyebrows and doesn’t preclude a romp under the covers. Plus he might just not be into cuddling. 😉 Cuz doncha just hate it when your rent boy snuggles up next to you and makes your arm fall asleep? ---

> [@Dewey\_Finn](#): > > I was intrigued by the idea that Rekers reserved two twin beds in London, so I’m going to surprise myself by defending him. Perhaps he was trying to help the kid get out of prostitution? In other words, perhaps he wasn’t boning the kid? I didn’t think I had anything to add to this thread but I guess I do. Many hotels located outside America have two twin beds pushed together to make the “big” bed for double occupancy rooms. They simply don’t have king or queen mattresses. Rekers may not have had a choice and is just grabbing desperately at straws here. ---

[/quote] I could see that as a somewhat legitimate point… had he not originally told the blatant lie about the “baggage handling”. ---

Or is he hadn’t gotten the “long stroke” massages. I believe, now, that there was no happy ending, but those massages as described are not therapeutic in nature. Whatever his hangups are, he clearly was looking for someone to do that kind of massage for him, and he knew not to bother trying [NationalCMT.com](http://NationalCMT.com) ---
