I’ve got one recommendation on this guy but anyone else care to weigh in? Tia

cripes. does he not know that there are message boards where folks can warn one another about jerks like this? thanks for sharing. It seems as if getting a great rubdown with sensual elements from a masculine guy is impossible to find in LA.

RE90046 I'm so sorry you had that shitty experience. I've had some. It sucks. If someone can't be a decent provider, then just cancel or put the ad on hold. I had a guy cancel on me with a lot of notice one time. He said he wasn't up for it and he wanted to make sure he was ready for me. I appreciated his honesty and wanting to be his best for me. When I did see him, it was fantastic. LA has a LOT of providers but very few reliable guys.

yeah, I screwed that up; I hit the wrong button. I must have hit quote you but I didn't mean to; I'm going to delete it because it's weird. Apologies.

That's both sad and sweet at the same time for many different reasons. Seriously.

well, once again this site has saved me some cash and a bad experience; no head rest is a huge deal breaker for me. Too bad. Looks like a nice friendly guy but I'm past the days of thinking, 'oh, maybe it'll work out.'

Welp. I wish I could come back here and say, 'hey! he reached back out and we had one last get together and it was great and I have closure and can move on; hell, even if it'd been lunch or a drink.' Alas, not meant to be. Such is life. I'm on the fence about playing it safe due to covid and risking an unknown or rolling the dice and bringing a little joy into my life. Decisions, decisions...

Geez, Goodtime I wish you well. I'm looking for EXACTLY the same thing. Anyone have thoughts?

I went early early on a Sunday earlier this year after my hot water heater broke. I last a few days but I finally needed a hot shower. I had to buy a service and went with a massage. Nice lady. but not the hot marine I had fantasized about being matched with. The place on LaBrea was clean and the facilities were nice. I'm glad I went right when it opened; I was there for maybe two hours and the place was starting to fill up by the time I left. If you book in advance you can probably request a male therapist.

Thx Rod. I gave it a shot. Half of me was saying do it; other half was let it go. Now, I feel I’ve done both. I told him if the time had passed I’d understand and that I’d always have a special place for him. you never know. Either way, I’ve got great memories. ty!

Good advice, guys. Thanks and thanks for the kind words. He had said we'd have one final farewell -- but then COVID 'got' (not 'go' as a I wrote above) in the way. The thing is he lived out of state for so long and now, he's back in the same city less than five miles away. I wrote that I'd understand if I didn't hear from him but I felt I had to take a chance. In any event, life can surprise you -- one way or another. COVID ain't over so I can see myself laying low for a while and hanging onto the memories. I will say I never felt safer and scared at the same time when I was with him. He knew my limits better than I did. He got inside my head and helped me in ways I didn't even know I needed helping. Better to have 'loved' and lost, as they say...

I started a thread apparently a few years ago and now, it's been so long since it's been commented on, it's closed and so, I am starting this new one. I was all set to see a retiring guy a few years ago. Schedules go in the way and then COVID happened. Since then, I've lost two of the most important people in my life; a parent to COVID and a best friend to suicide. I want nothing more than to have one last night with this guy who was able to get inside my head and make me feel better. I swear it was just as much emotional and mental as it was physical. I've reached out to him recently to see if for one last time he'd be up for seeing me. Part of me was let it go. Don't risk ruining the fun times you've had before. He may not be in a place where he wants to see me (or anyone) ever again. I won't take it personally if I don't hear from him, but I will miss him.

I agree — I’d need my medical deductible met and need a 👨‍⚕️ surgeon on standby

you're right. It's a figure of speech. Forgive the Regis moment ("I'm out of CONTROL!") -- I just meant that the prices are higher than I recall. Of course, therapists and providers are probably trying to make up for all the revenue they lost during COVID, which I'm sure was extensive. For the right guy, I'd be willing to pay a lot; and paying 80 bucks for a crappy massage isn't worth it. Thank goodness for this site which allows us to weed through the bad ones to hopefully get to the good ones.

I am ALL for human interaction, a warm embrace; massages, for me, have been more about putting a band-aid on my intimacy wounds. But prices are getting out of control. I'm not advocating anyone stop. I sure won't be. But think about the money; it can run up into the thousands over a few years or so, give or take.

this guy's been on my list to try forever. I doubt there'd be an extras. I think he's straight (and not 'straight to bed' either). Still, as long as he gives a great massage I don't care.

He’s a sweetheart and I remember how kind he was; a gentle giant 🤠

sometimes that's 'straight to bed.' he's a cutie all right

Runner Guy is Clark 6'1" or so...he looks much taller (not that 6'1" is short, of course)

I was considering two different therapists in Los Angeles as LIFE HAS BEEN STRESSFUL lately (as it has been for everyone). I came to this site to do some research, typed in their names and both have multiple threads about being overpriced, non-interactive, duds! I am so grateful for this site. And if anyone can recommend anyone in LA I'd appreciate it. Ultimately, am just looking for a great massage from a decent guy who's not a prick. I don't need to book extras in advance; am more of a let's see what happens type guy once the massage is great. TIA!

Weho home base but Dec. 19 and 20..."Los Angeles."

I recall him seeing guys near where I lived so I was able to draw on his experiences and benefit from them. I learned how i wanted to try and who I might have been scared to try and who I knew to avoid. His encounters always made for informative and often provocative reading

me too; I only saw him once but he was terrific. It was like I was getting his full attention but at the same time, there was no real connection -- but he kept doing everything right. I would like to see him again and book 90 minutes just so he's not rushed. I recall I got an appointment in the middle of the day and he had to get going right after.

thanks much; might give him a try.

question: you saw him 'several' years ago? this guy says he's 26; is he older or did he start at 19? TIA!
