$200 for an hour? even with some training, I'm going to need to be held for a bit afterwards.

yikes, man sorry you went through all that. I called a guy for a massage once; his ad said $150; he said on the phone he was upping it (a significant amount) because he was worth it and we'd probably end up doing more. Yikes! I begged off, told him I'd think about it; I'm sure he's heard THAT before. Mostly, I try to pay attention to red flags early on but I'm far from perfect; Good luck on the next one.

I'm sure. I was too old to be falling for such charms when every instinct was screaming run; that said, I saw progress in my workout routines unlike never before.

he filled out a t-shirt nicely, but in a natural way; he wasn't a body builder; just a mind-fucker who got off on hurting folks; he'd use one hand to pull someone closer to him and then the other to push them away. Sigh. It was tough, but it didn't kill me.

I had a trainer once who was very hands-on, and handsy; he was about 4 inches taller and he'd guide me around the crowded gym floor, gently putting his hand on my shoulder and direct me where I needed to go. (I didn't have a great attention span so this helped a lot.) He made the training fun, pushed me harder than I ever would myself. He'd give the exercises silly names. One thing I've always found intimidating is ass-holes who know how to use the machines better than I do and they'd be impatient watching me finish up. But having a trainer seems to cut through all that. He was a buffer between me and the pricks. It was all too good to be true, I thought. One day, he kinda...well, not kinda, he snapped at me over nothing. He apologized later and I lied to myself that he was under stress and he'd never do it again -- even though every instinct I had told me more was coming. (Do I need to finish this story?) Dude must have been bi-polar. The snapping would come out of the blue; apologies were few and far between. You have to go down a really dark hole to convince yourself that someone who's being a dick to you isn't -- just because he calls you 'buddy' every now and then. The work relationship ended. He was brutal about it and I haven't been able to find someone to trust again. I won't even try till after COVID, but boy did it all suck. We'd confide in each other stuff. I thought we were pals. We weren't.

You must be bummed out Savantsav -- a PT who would work you out and be intimate? My trainer relationships usually go bust because I want that extra dynamic but never seem to be able to find.

wow, if COVID weren't an issue I'd call and ask how much he charges to spoon for an hour; me into him. 26 is a little young for the emotional aspect, but maybe he's an old soul.

looks like Jason Ritter a bit

there was one guy; beautiful soloflex body in weho...advertistered in Frontiers. he had a loft apartment all that was in the loft was the table; amazing massage; he didn't say much and he didn't do much...the first time... I was left wanting to know him better; he was so mysterious; then, he just disappeared.

ad says 'tension release' I've read suggestive ads and it's been totally therapeutic and vice versa.

you're right; I think I saw his ad. I must have put it out of my mind b/c if COVID. I'm ready to have some fun and feel some intimacy but only when the vaccines prove successful. I'd love to big spoon/little spoon with that guy. I hope he's at least 5'10" or 5'11"

it's tough; we have to 'okay' with no-shows and keeping in mind this is all business; at the same time, when it all comes together, we have to let go enough to really be in the moment so we can enjoy it -- all the while knowing it's not real. But if you can just be in the moment and enjoy it? pretty great.

there's one kid -- I saw him on Instagram first -- 'Zac Attack' aka 'Zach Beech' he has a KILLER grin and amazing body. I join his only fans and then let it run out; a few months later I give it another shot; his content is okay, but at the end of the day nothing is going to top that grin you can get for free on Instagram Zach Beech (@zachbeech) • Instagram photos and videos

Thx for responses can’t wait for vaccine ??

Do you think escorts would be open to just one long cuddle session. It's not that I'm not a fan of sex; but it's been a really crappy year. Lost a parent. Lost...a lot. Sometimes a dude just wants to be held. Sincerity is a bonus.

thanks Tall guys are great.

I was going to say looks too good to be true and 'knowledge' in massage doesn't necessary mean training; tho training isn't a guarantee of getting someone who knows what he's doing......but it's nice to see positive reviews; very hot guy

I'm chatting up this guy who's a little younger but really friendly; and then he goes: 'r u GEN?' and I'm like DUDE! WTF, I thought we're getting along and you ask me this? Man! I can't believe you thought I'd pay to be with you. He goes: 'no, are you my friend Gen(nifer)' I'm like didn't you get my picture? "I got it."

Andy's great; I used to see him at Candle spa. totally legit. I am not sure when it will ever be safe to get a massage again though.

ug. maybe he is 23.

he doesn't look 23 either, but that could be just me.

a gayling back in the 90s scared to death of AIDS, I used to only call ads that said therapist was 'legit/no sex' - photos would show the guys in t-shirts. Invariably, the guy would go to town on my penis. I finally said to one as nicely as possible I called you b/c your ad said 'no sex/legit' and this happens all the time - what's up? He said, 'don't you know? you're huge. people can't say no.'

Appreciate all the thoughtful responses. I'm glad I'm not the only one going through this. Maybe I'm over thinking it. I'm not expecting a vaccine by election day (as someone in the White House would like me to think) but one will come one day. I can always check in with this one guy who ran a spa. Poor guy probably had to shut it down. I work from home and only go out side for a walk and to the grocery store. Occasional errands. I've eaten at an outdoor restaurant where all the servers wear masks. I believe I've been careful and safe, but we just don't know. Dammit. This really feels like the 80s all over again.

thank you.
