Behind a door in an apartment building in the West 70’s lives a man who has been anonymously pleasuring women—sexually, that is—over the past year. They know him only as Doctor M.

By day, this unassuming 41-year-old self-described “regular Jewish guy” is no doctor at all, but a writer for a media company. He is pleasantly average-looking and sports a clean-cut look: polo shirts, cargo shorts, wire-rim glasses, short brown hair flecked with gray. And thanks to weekends at his Hamptons share, he wears a tan.

“Nobody would have the slightest idea that I have this whole other life,” said Doctor M. in his monotone, nasal, Queens-accented voice. (He spoke with The Observer under the condition that neither his identity, nor that of his “patients,” would be revealed.)

It started in September 2004. Trying to sell extra Morrissey tickets on the Craigslist Web site, he came across “Casual Encounters,” the section where people looking for sex find each other, or try to. He wrote a generic ad; there were no responses. Then he saw a posting for a doctor/patient fantasy scenario on the Craigslist San Francisco site. “It was poorly written, very short, but it gave me the idea,” he said.

He began to write his own ad, which grew to 1,200 words, including: “Unappreciated by a selfish partner? In-between a relationship? Whatever your situation, the Doctor understands …. During your session, the Doctor (who will be dressed in a white lab coat, jacket and tie) will begin by asking you a series of personal questions regarding your experiences and perspectives on a variety of intimate behaviors …. In his ‘waiting room’ you will find recent editions of People magazine, Vogue, The Wall Street Journal, Psychology Today and U.S. News & World Report …. Easy Listening will be emanating from the stereo as in accordance with law.” Wavering between the ridiculous and the perverse, he wrote: “Donning white latex gloves, The Doctor will continue his exploration, probing your anal region to evaluate your level of sensitivity, comfort or alarm. The Doctor is equipped with a variety of sterilized, battery-powered vibrational instruments and may deploy them as he sees fit.” (more…)

Thanks for sending this, Jefferson (and Bridget, who sent this to him originally)! Nice to see perverts sticking together.
