My FAQ's:
Answering Your Burning Questions

General Information

Q: What is The Male Connection?

A: The Male Connection is my passion project dedicated to providing discerning gentlemen with personalized wellness sessions and enriching companionship experiences in the Greater Toronto Area. I focus on creating a space for profound sensory awareness, deep connection, and emotional well-being that culminate to an overload for the senses and complete with a sense of relaxation felt in the mind, the body and many claim the spirit. You won't soon forget the time we share together I promise! Wink. Wink.

Q: How do I book an experience?

A: Coming soon, you will be able to easily book an experience through my secure online booking system available on the Appointments tab. For the time being however, simply text/email or use the form included at the bottom of each page on the site to submit a booking request. For Extended Journeys or specific requests, there will be no automated system. Those experiences require a different level of planning and coordination; as such, I invite you to contact me directly to co-create your ideal experience.

Q: Where is your studio located?

A: The private space where I hold my sessions for folks prefer in-studio sessions is conveniently located Yonge and Wellesley St. E in beautiful downtown Toronto. The closest intersection is Yonge and Wellesley and I am easily accessible via Wellesley Subway Station.

Experience Details & Expectations

Q: What types of experiences do you offer?

A: I offer a range of experiences, including "Wellness Sessions" focused on bodywork and relaxation, "Companionship Experiences" for genuine connection and engagement, and "Signature Journeys" that blend both for a holistic experience. Each is designed to be deeply personalized.

Q: Are your experiences discrete?

A: Absolute discretion and privacy are paramount to all my experiences. My space is a secluded environment, and all interactions are handled with the utmost confidentiality and granular levels of detailed protocol, which you would have noticed when completing the form package required for all clients. HaHa.

Q: What should I expect during an experience?

A: You can expect a meticulously curated and personalized session focused on your comfort, sensory engagement, and overall well-being. I prioritize clear communication, ensuring you have a complete understanding of what to expect every step of the way. Your input in co-creating the experience is always valued and highly encouraged. The first time we work together before we get to the session itself, I will reiterate what you can expect, offer some helpful tips and suggestions for a successful session, answer all questions that you may have, walk through the session "flight plan" and ask some general questions about your physical health and preferences for the session.

Once we begin, I will check in with you several times to ensure your satisfaction, safety and enjoyment are all being met. This is vital as I would never want someone to feel as though they weren't given the opportunity to voice their feelings in a safe, non-judgmental space - this would defeat the purpose of coming to see someone like me. Your job, is to tell me how I can best support you in communicating with me honestly and transparently before, during and after our time together. Other than that, sit back, relax and enjoy!

Booking & Payments

Q: What payment methods do you accept?

A: Currently, I accept cash payments upon arrival for your session. My online system is for appointment scheduling/ reservations only. I made the decision to move to cash only because of the current political/ legal climate surrounding the industry and feel as though it is the safest and most responsible option for the time being. And yes, I do pay taxes and my earnings are declared at the end of the year. You were thinking it, so I answered it :).

Q: Is a deposit required for booking?

A: I wish that one day, the industry matures, rather, heals enough on both sides where deposits become the norm. But, because so many people have taken advantage of the kindness of clients in the past, there is a stigma that if you ask for a deposit, you must be a scammer yourself. Unfortunately for honest service providers like me, that means for now, we can't have a sweeping "Desposits Mandatory" rule. So, in general NO I do NOT require deposits. In the following instances however, I do:

1. For all Extended Journeys (between 20-50% due to secure your booking)

2. If you've cancelled with less than 24hrs notice 2x or no showed once
   (100% due to secure your booking)

3. At my discretion for first time clients who show problematic/alarming behaviour during the initial booking process. If you're a normal human being, with good intentions... this will not apply to you :).
   

Q: What is your cancellation policy?

A:Please review the Terms, Policies and Conditions document which is linked at the footer of this and every page of this website for the full answer.

For the Coles notes FAQ version:

1. 24hrs notice required for a cancellation without penalty.

2. 0min cancellation without penalty for verifiable emergencies: death of a loved one, pet, etc., hospitalization, illness, cough/cold/flu (DO NOT COME FOR YOUR SESSION IF YOU HAVE THE SLIGHTEST SIGN OF ANY OF THOSE PLEASE), losing your job, a breakup, acts of god, accidents, medical emergencies requiring a trip to the hospital/ER and similar circumstances deemed appropriate on a case by case basis.

There are no refunds (partial or full), credits or exchanges and I do not usually allow for in-session extensions. This breaks the connection and brings business back into the pleasure zone and it doesn't ever workout well. I keep those two very separate and isolated from one another so that our connection is protected and un-tarnished.
