OMG. Sorry to hear.

Name change almost always signifies that something is wrong, and it's serious enough to warrant a new identity. It boggles my mind that so many guys do this without thinking, assuming it will improve their situation, and nobody will catch on. Maybe it does improve, for a minute. Just goes to show, totally reinforcing the notion that few in this business take this work seriously. Let's throw spaghetti at the wall and see if this works. Other than massage guys pretending not to be escorts, I don't know much about the escort world. However, I get the impression that most would prefer not working, unless the client is hot, or their type, or very wealthy. Personally, I can't imagine having sex 7 days a week, let alone twice a day with different men, especially with guys I was not attracted to. I would tire of that routine quickly. So I'm not buying this. I think it would be very difficult for a fraudster to create a boatload of fake reviews. Plus, I think many of the usernames are known individuals. Now may be a good time to try him. Sometimes it takes a little bad word of mouth to motivate. In the service business, it's so easy to fall into a rut. We can all benefit from a jolt every now and again.

LOL. I managed to see it this time before it disappeared. Whoever the photos belong to, the guy is hot. But this here now/gone in 5 minutes, I've never seen anything like that before. What a waste of time and money.

Obviously, if you're just going to a guy for sex, then perhaps no skill is required. If your sex partner takes an elbow to your back or neck, pretending to know massage, and you end up in an Emergency Room, then the risk responsibility is yours to own. If you mishandle food and poison me, I suppose I could sue you if I survive. Living in NYC, I've certainly had my share of salmonella attacks from various restaurants, who are licensed. So, yes, there is risk even among professionals. Life is risky. A lot depends on how much you wish to gamble. I wouldn't mind playing in bed with John and Peak. I'm sure I'd have a lot of fun. Not sure I would let either massage me.

It's true. It happens. But when something goes wrong, and you need to seek medical help, the first question a doctor may ask is "was the guy a professional?" If you say no, the anguished, distorted face the doctor makes may last forever in your mind.

Excuse me, but weren't you the first poster to claim Andrew is "straight" on this thread? If that bit of very interesting info does not appear in the guy's ad, isn't this info off-topic? If Andrew is straight, and he works in the nude, providing HE and MT to the gay community, then is he not a novelty? Do novelties not deserve more exploration?

Maybe. That doesn't mean he knows what he's doing, or has a professional background in clinical massage work. Intuitive to me means, you see a hard-on, you suck it. IMO, anyone can intuit that.

This is a hit-or-miss business. Very few of these guys are legit, so they don't treat the customer in a professional manner. It's not a realistic expectation. Most of these guys want instant appointments (cash). They don't want to answer questions, or have anything to do with what they call "time wasters." For many, it's just another version of rentmen.com. I always ask questions, but many don't respond. I've learned to move on quickly. I've learned not to fall in love with a photograph. I'm willing to pay for good service, but good service is difficult to find, sometimes. When you find it, it's a good thing to keep. But it is a needle in a haystack. Good luck.

Given your prolific presence here, that is quite an endorsement. Both guys appear to be sexy and hot. Sometimes a smaller guy is a pistol, for sure. If they're after full-on sex, why bother with pretend massage? I can't imagine either of these guys is licensed.

LOL. None of the straight New Yorkers I know would ever dress like that. I suppose it depends on what you do for a living. Creatives do have more freedom to be metro-sexual, or whatever the woke term is these days.

They both state "negative on Prep" but PeakPleasure's first words in his ad are "Raw pleasure." WTF. What are these guys advertising? Perhaps I'm too old for this game, but some of these young guys seem to live so dangerously, and that scares me. It's also interesting that John is 6' tall, while Peak is only 5'6" (if you can believe the numbers). Unusual coupling.

It's good that he responded to the review that complains about his asking for money upfront. No masseur wants to work for free. It's very painful and violating to be screwed by a customer. Nobody wants to talk about the customers who lie and cheat just to get a service for free, or have one up on a service person, that unspoken power trip. Isn't always one bad apple who spoils it for others? Judging by all the stat info found elsewhere, looks like this guy doesn't have to worry about the Photoshop naysayers. Although, he shows his beautiful butt in some photos, but not even a white underwear photo to be found anywhere. Nonetheless, he could sit on my face during a massage.

That's very true. Thank you. I did not consider that possibility. Re-reading his ad, I could sense someone from another country speaking. European men do the exact opposite of what American "straight" guys do.

LOL. No straight guy is wearing a shirt like this: or cuffing his pant like this: Anyone care to wager?

It's a good thing to know this old brain is still functioning. It was called Jovan Musk, The Sweet Nostalgia of Jovan Musk ~ 1001 Past Tales ~ Fragrantica WWW.FRAGRANTICA.COM A blast from the past, this has always been in production since 1972. Elena Vosnaki has fond memories of its history, and you probably have some... It's still being sold today, Musk at Walmart I think that could be said for all colognes or perfumes today. LOL. Imagine Calvin Klein Escape using that as their marketing tagline.

I don't know what Black society thinks. I'd be curious to know what Black members think. I've never met a grown man who isn't keenly aware of his body odor. I believe there used to be a men's cologne called Musk back in the day, maybe the 70's? It was cheap and awful. Personally, I don't equate the word musky with unclean. Five minutes after a shower and my pits stink, without doing anything. I've encountered a lot of men who seemed to love my "clean" pit scent, especially in my bathhouse days. I remember my gym days (pre-Covid), when you got some serious dose of varied body scents after workouts. Some men's scents were a challenge to stomach, while others were intoxicating, and would cause some stiff woodies. I find manscent a turn-on, and ask all my masseurs to work on me naked and raw. But the turn-on factor really does depend on the individual. When I saw this guy's photo, my mind went to some serious stink. But maybe he smells sexy as all hell, and he loves his scent and the reaction it gets from those with this fetish.

LOL. Thanks for the snark. The last thing I am is a member of police grammar. Not sure why the defensive posts. I regularly read several members comment on the use of the word masseuse by other members, and HotBoyBrazil was the first time I had seen a male provider use it to describe himself. No big deal. I saw it as ironic observation, nothing more. All I care about is great massage. I don't care if you use sign language with your feet. Btw, I did do a search and found numerous pages of this: "All nouns (including those describing people) must be masculine or feminine grammatically and there are very few ways to avoid gendering people in speech," from Portuguese WWW.GENDERINLANGUAGE.COM HOME

I don't know Portuguese, but I assume they have some way of designating masculine and feminine, especially when the word is the same for both genders.

He sure is cute.

If EVdude found 6 masseurs using the first pic, what are the odds that the pic actually belongs to this guy? I really can't tolerate the guys who use fake photos. It just screams fraud to me. It's an automatic no-go. I can only imagine the number of customers who don't care and book anyway. These ads are not cheap.

What am I talking about? Really? Masseuse is a female provider, while masseur is a male. Perhaps this Brazilian is considering a sex change?

Looks like he may be working out of MMX. Very strange to ask for a photo if you're going there for a massage. The place is very public.

I can't believe how much he has changed. I saw him when he was first new on the scene, way back to the 90's. He was so boyishly handsome, sexy, and natural. No way he is 30. I'm guessing 44-50. He looks so unhappy in these current batch of photos. He didn't know much about massage back then, which is why I didn't repeat.

"Hey, I’m a Brazilian guy, friendly, honest and a really great masseuse." No wonder some of the members get confused with gender. Some of the providers are confused as well.

If the website doesn't allow for this, then it is shit. Tips are extremely personal, and can vary wildly, depending on very private decisions. No one should post a payment amount that includes a tip, because it can make the masseur look like a liar and a cheat to other potential customers. Even though differing prices may be the masseur's reality (given the number of options he offers), the final numbers should not include tip. They could remedy this by simply providing a slot for tip amount.
