But how was the massage?

I'm with Nick on this one. He's not being too picky.

"disappointing experience with him" "nothing exciting at all" "okay massage" "wouldn't repeat" "very arrogant" All in the last 18 months. What more do you need to know?

Ridiculous headline. Congratulation to them but they are most definitely not "having a baby".

Completely false analogy.

Why bother? Did you not read all the negative reviews here?

I saw Taka about 4 years ago. Look for "Asianmassage" on rentmasseur. Nice guy, customer-focused massage, looks like his pics, extras were not memorable. I think the massage was on a futon on the floor. He's using the same pics now as then so I can't confirm what he looks like now. His studio apartment was clean but a bit run down. You might ask for an out call

I'm not sure you could get anyone to meet you out at the airport.

I know, YMMV, but I found Borek not worth the drive. There was no connection between us, all the interactions were very mechanical, and he was more concerned with getting his laundry done than performing the massage. I can't remember if it was on a bed or a table, but he actually left the room twice to tend to his wash when the washer/dryer buzzers went off.

Confirmed! I saw him when he lived in NYC.

I use a combination of frozen crisco and butter in my pie crusts. I now have a new visual to occupy my mind while I'm bent over the table rolling out the dough.

I've been to the Railway Museum in Saitama north of Tokyo and the Kyoto Railway Museum but never the one in Yokohama. Thanks for the tip!

Yeah, he's cranky alright! I guess I looked at his private gallery too many times. He blocked me from seeing his ad. If I log out of the site I can view it (minus the private gallery) but if I log back in, the link to his ad goes right to the rentmasseur home page. I guess I'll pass. Sorry.

I just replied to a post in the spa. We all seem to agree he needs to change his ads. Thanks for the feedback.

I agree with you reguarding his tone. It could just be bad copy but I too am hesitant. If I do hire him I'll let you know how it turned out.

I also posted this in the spa since he has an ad on rentmasseur. Any experiences to share? Thanks in advance. https://rent.men/SirSF

Any experiences/reccommendations to share? I thought I saw him discussed a long time ago but couldn't find anything. He also has an ad on rent.men. Thanks guys! https://rentmasseur.com/CalmtheStorm

Keep in mind the JR Pass can't be used on Nozomi express trains. I'm a big rail geek and taking the Nozomi is always one of the things I most look forward to when I go to Japan. I've never purchased a JR Pass for that reason. You probably already know to get a Suica card. They're indispensible and I highly reccomend getting one with your rail pass.

Saw then both. Big disappointment. Nice guys, look like their pics, but marginal massage skills and absolutely no extras.

Reinforced everytime I read these forums!

I don't care who he is or what he looks like, I would never hire a guy who's ad included a picture of him flipping off his potential clients. He pretty much said "fuck you" prior to the bait and switch and then "fuck you" again after you got on the table and he backed off on the agreed upon terms of the session.

I know a lot of guys love them, but as I've said in previous posts, to me going down on a guy wearing a cockring is like going down on a dildo. I avoid guys wearing them at sex clubs and ask escorts not to put them on.

Alex Lawther was in an episode of Black Mirror. Shut Up and Dance. He was the kid blackmailed after he was recorded masterbating in front of his computer.

PS. Looks like Sakura Season may come early to Japan this year. Not sure what you mean by going "next month" but fingers crossed that you hit the season peak!

Don't get too ambitious but if you go to Hiroshima and have the time take the ferry to Miyajima for the day. Beautiful temples and good hiking. The shinkasen from Osaka to Hiroshima includes a stop in Himeji. Well worth it to get off the train, ditch your luggage in a locker at the station, and walk up to the castle for a visit. You might also consider spending a few nights in Koyosan up in the mountains east of Osaka. Very easy to get to by train. It's the center of Japanese Buddhism. Very scenic and again, filled with beautiful temples. Most visitors stay at temples staffed by Buddhist monks and students. You will have your own room but typically shared baths. Similar to a riyokan, you'll be served a multicourse dinner in your room and sleep on tatami mats. Most also have small onsens for bathing. One of my favorite spots in Japan. Be sure to try the okonomiyaki in Osaka and in Hiroshima. Different styles but both delicious
