I'm a college professor. That's my day job. I teach math, of all things.
Unfortunately, teaching math doesn't pay all that great. I, like so many of my colleagues, have another job to help with the living costs here in New England. Some of my colleagues tutor, or write admission essays for rich international students. One guy is a bouncer. Me, I like to think outside the box. We'll get to that in a minute.
It was Wednesday afternoon, and I had a mild headache. Not enough coffee. Or was it too much? Hard to tell. Yulia, from my sophomore class, was in my office.
I liked to keep an open door for students, because I know math is awful until the moment when a concept clicks, and reaching that moment takes a different amount of time for different people. Yulia was having trouble with homework, and I was explaining the intricacies of matrix multiplication the best I could. She was a bright student, and I was sure she'd get it with just a little bit more time.
Unfortunately, I didn't have that time.
"Apologies, Yulia, but we have to stop here. I'm afraid I have another commitment," I said.
"Oh, okay," she replied, her big eyes looking at me with a hint of disappointment. "I think I'm close to getting this."
"Yes, you are! Just have to remember when you go by rows and when by columns. Why don't you come here tomorrow morning, and we'll go over the rest of the material. That'll give you enough time to finish homework."
"That's so nice of you, professor! I'll see you later then!"
She jumped up her chair, waved at me, and sprinted out the door with youthful vigor that I envied.
I kept looking at her behind a little bit longer than was professional. See, Yulia was hot. Like, really hot. Maybe it was her Russian mother, who had forced her to do gymnastics from a young age. Or maybe it was his overprotective father, who literally drove two hours to see me at the beginning of the semester, and made it very clear that I was to tell him if any boys made any kind of gestures toward his precious Yulia. I didn't bother to mention to him that we hardly had any guys in this school. Maybe it was her gazelle-like (Patriotic people might call it 'Gisele-like') physique, with long legs and a nice waist. Either way, it was undeniable this gave Yulia a kind of a magical, innocent aura.
I know what you're thinking, and no. I'm not in the business of dating students, and while I think she maybe had a slight teacher-crush on me at one point, I'm doing all this extra teaching mostly to get tenure. Being an assistant professor is bullshit. Long hours, crappy pay, and no job security. I need great evaluations from students, and I genuinely like to see them do well in my classes. Thus, I help the students as much as possible.
But still, my rent wasn't going to pay itself. I'd be late from my second job if I continued this internal monologue much longer. I ran to my car, and drove to the nearby city.

"Hi, Josh!" Aly, our receptionist, welcomed me. Using the main entrance was risky, but I had seen that the customer parking lot was empty. It would be a serious breach of ethics to see a client, or have them see you. I quickly walked into the staff changing room before the first clients of the evening started to arrive.
Since it was early and a weekday, there was just one colleague present. Her name was Michelle, and she was a great lady. Early 40s, so a little bit older than me. Short and a little bit round, always wearing a smile with a bright-red, short and spiky hair. She was probably a lesbian, which was to be expected of people in her line of work. We didn't really talk about that kind of stuff here.
"Hey, Josh. Quiet today, huh?"
"Seems so. Do you have reservations?"
"Yep, I have regulars for the whole evening."
"Lucky you. I'm on reserve, again."
"Man, that sucks. At least you can grade homework or something and hope someone shows up."
"Yeah, but that reserve pay barely covers the cost of commute. How do you get so many regulars anyway?"
"It's that feminine touch, I keep telling you. Women don't come here for hydraulics, no matter how mighty. They come here to feel loved. Give them that, and they'll keep coming again, and again, and again. My secret, I kiss them."
"I see what you did there. They come well enough already. Besides, isn't kissing unethical?"
"I know. Our walls aren't very thick, you know. But you gotta make them feel like there's something real. That they aren't just hiring a prostitute. You're knuckle-deep in their pussies already, how could a kiss be unethical in any way? Just don't say anything and you're good."
"Hey! I'm a massage artist, not a prostitute."
"Sure, whatever you want to tell yourself."
"I'm serious. Did you know doctors used to treat women's restlessness the same way? Actual doctors," I retorted, my professional pride under threat.
"You're kidding. Why didn't the women just take care of it themselves?"
"I don't know."
"I know. They wanted someone else to do it. It's not the deed, it's the company. If it was a massage they were after, they'd just do it themselves. Just try it, man. I promise you'll get regulars in no time. Let them believe in their fantasy."
I didn't fully agree with Michelle. Many women had real troubles achieving orgasm by themselves, and most one night stands, boyfriends or husbands weren't much help in that department. That's where our profession came in. We specialize giving quality handjobs to any woman who is willing to pay. There is no guarantee of orgasm, but our success rates are publicly listed on our webpage, along with plenty of anonymous testimonies.
That's pretty much the only thing that is listed, however. Our genders and age ranges are public, but that's it. Everything is extremely confidential and private. I operate in darkness, which is how most women in my experience prefer it anyway. However, the main reason is that the clients can't see me, and I can't see them. I'm not allowed to say anything, and they risk being banned from our clinic by talking to me. They only talk to Aly, who sends a text to me detailing the client's wishes and any special conditions I should be aware of.
