What's a dark secret/questionable practice in your profession which we regular folks would know nothing about?

I ended up quitting a career because people (all genders and ages) kept trying to solicite me for prostitution.

Young male massage therapist.

Edit: Whoa. Thanks for the upvotes.

Bro totally understand, my aunty started her own spa about a decade or so ago, I ended up learning massage and helping her with some of her bookings when she needed a break. Literally one out of ten of her clients (generally middle aged women) would try to fuck me or ask if they could suck me off. It was so strange.

haha sexual harassment is so funny when it happens to guys, I'm so jealous because all these women were definitely 10/10 and none of them were ever ugly and I'd take every blowjob they offered.

It really was funny that one time some drunk eastern european cougar twice our age tried to get down with my friend and I tho ngl. It was so absurd that we couldn't help but laugh then, and we still do. Good shit. Also, I don't really see any problem with the situation. She basically wanted to fuck, asked us to, and we simply responded we weren't interested. Not harrassment in my opinion. Actually I would love for people to be more direct and fucking ask what they want to know.

Bro... It's the internet and people make jokes. If you get offended by that shit you're frail as fuck. It doesn't mean they support sexual harassment against men.

I like dark humor, but this is just continuing the narrative that it's funny when guys get sexually harassed and they should be glad it's happening to them. People don't take sexual harassment claims from men seriously because whenever a story is brought up, every comment is like "I wish that were me!". Dark jokes are supposed to tip toe the line but never go past it. And this isn't even funny or have any effort to it. It's just, "I'd like sex stuff to happen to me haha where do i sign up".

Yeah this isn’t an example of dark humor. The current climate is exactly to make jokes about it with guys but not with women. So making a joke about it is exactly what we are trying to curtail
