anyone take the plunge? I agree on the towels...but yeah, those arms; that smile

too bad. Such a cute name.

Gentle Giant; I don't think he massages anymore; saw him eons ago in LA. I was overwhelmed by how kind he was.

he lists 5'11" as height - those lockers must be really high!

had a similar experience but I sure didn't pay $350 and couldn't swing that now even if I wanted to.

that's an amazing body.

'fits me to a tee' is pretty standard, widely known...if someone not only didn't know that but assumed it was drugs I would move on and find someone else

man, this site has saved me from an unhappy (ending) experience once more. It's not just being out the money (which definitely does suck) it's leaving not being satisfied and feeling cheated of what you went there to experience.

that Austin Wolf and midget (little person? what's PC?) is amazing. he picks him up like a little doll.

I am so lucky. I'm in a rent-controlled 1 BR in LA, paying around $1300/month it ain't the Ritz, but I've set it up nicely over the years: portable a/c; portable dishwasher; but the plan is to make more $, right now, though, i can't complain.

they look like two TOTALLY different guys; one has to be at least a decade older any intel on Tom's height and weight? He looks ginormous -- not that I'm leading to Ft. Lauderdale anytime soon.

Pretty sure I called this guy off his massage ad one time and there was an immediate price bump of 50 bucks from what was on his site. A red flag went up; I passed and I think I did the right thing.

I think he's long retired, but Jake # 3 in Los Angeles. HUGE guy. Looked big and friendly, just my type.

he looks 21 in that pic at. the. most. and his ad says 12 years of experience. $370 for 90 minutes of rimming and oral? I'd be too exhausted. ?

if so, I hope I hit the ground fast; don't want to waste his time!

Another vote for Andy at Candle Spa. Legit; I feel like new man when I leave. He's excellent, in a class by himself. Recommend. (when things are safe).

I think things like phone ringers, room temperatures, pressure intensity (either too heavy or too light), a light shining through the window can all be successfully negotiated after a massage starts...these are all things I'd ask about and have asked a provider about and in most instances they're happy to provide and make a change. We move on from there. Yay. Topics that are harder to broach are: a provider having no training or technique (despite their ad saying they do), upsells when you're really, really relaxed (really? NOW?) insisting their dog stays in the room (it's not the size or the assertiveness of the dog that bothers me; it's the attachment the provider has to the pooch), getting a little too intimate (I want a massage; I don't want to penetrate you)...the worst is when you get the impression they're just a prick and they're passive aggressive about everything. Negative experiences are rare, but they happen. One time, after getting a horrible massage, I had to go out and get...a massage. When I find a regular great guy, I'm loyal and will stay for years. The best two I ever had got out of the business for various reasons. Bummer.

There were parts I enjoyed. It'd be nice if he just slowed down and put the emphasis a bit more on the client and the experience.

I liked him but...in hindsight, he did seem to rush it; it's weird how you can have a 1 hour massage and it feels perfectly timed and you feel like a valued customer. But other times, you can get that same 1 hour, but it FEELS totally rushed like the guy has something else on his mind. But it's hard to put your finger on it when you get the same amount of time. Can you imagine having him as a nurse and you need him to get out of bed so he can take you to x-rays or to the bathroom? I hope he doesn't rush his patients! I did like him and would be willing to book 90 minutes if he'd slow down a bit.

I just book (well, used to pre-covid) and whatever would happen would happen; mostly, I wanted a great massage. I found a few great regulars over the years; the best one kept me draped, no HE; just a hug at the end; it wasn't sexual; barely sensual, but extremely intimate and therapeutic. He moved away; I was sooo bummed out.

even IF people don't agree with your stance so, what? They should just keep scrolling; except for my park chair massage I've been super careful. And thanks again for your post. I appreciate it.

it was a chair massage outdoors, yes. thanks. I'm hoping it was safe, too. I don't think I would have done it had it not been outdoors. the HE got us some stares but I think the gawkers were just jealous....(KIDDING!) ? and I walked away feeling like a different man

ironically, I ran into a guy whom I used to get chair massages from; he was set up in a park. I went for it. Hoping it was safe.

it's tough holding off on massages right now, but it's for the best; thanks for your post.
