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.

That would be an unpleasant surprise for me. Thank you for reporting. Not only do I like my masseurs to be naked, I need to see natural, good-looking equipment. Equipment that has been tampered with in an unattractive manner is a serious turn-off for me. I also don't like d-piercings, d-tattoos, or even d-rings. It kills any fantasy immediately.

I'm curious too.

I don't expect anything from gay massage ads. I have never been blocked. No one stopped responding. The issue is first-time emails being ignored. I don't use rentmen.com to inquire about massage.

Not think. I know. They aren't easy to find but they are there. I know from experience.

He says he has never charged $200. $180 x 7 = 1,260 a week. I don't know anyone who works a 7-day week. It's quite challenging to live in NYC on $65,000 a year. In order to do that, you need a rent stabilized apartment.

Absolutely full flow. For the entire duration, I prefer at least one warm hand to never leave my body. If he must let go, let him do it with sensitivity and meaning, and by all means, never ever let the hand that touches me naked be cold. Absolutely spot on. I prefer to let the masseur pick the music, since his energy and spirit rule the hour. Some guys have surprised me, and turned me on to new artists. I don't recall ever having anyone make a bad music choice.

That's pretty much how a forum works. If true, that is impressive. I do admire when someone comes here to respond to comments and criticism. Nobody's perfect.

I asked about the license and heard nothing.

Well, we do age by the day, don't we?

Just wanted to say, I have decades of pro-massage experience (in a spa, but mostly my home) and most of the issues in this thread are alien to me. Behavior may not be "typical," but provider mood can make a difference, and people's moods can change on dime. Generally speaking, I agree with Rod Hagen, people who love their job are oftentimes not motivated by money. OTOH, I once knew a talented masseur who did not enjoy the work. He basically did not like people. He got into massage at an early age, thinking it might be easy money. He eventually raised his prices because he needed the money to motivate him. He's still doing massage, and now limits his customers to no more than two a day. A lot of people in America would like to earn $600 a day.

This is smart advice, but, as a serious customer seeking therapeutic + nudity + intimate touch, I'm crying. When I communicate and ask about a license, if the provider doesn't say yes in some obvious manner, I won't book. I fully understand and respect the risk. I had credentials in my own job that needed to be protected, and I didn't always play by the rules. I disagreed with some of the rules, so I needed to be discreet. In my communication, I always state that I'm not looking for sex, but my truth doesn't mean my first-time email can or should be treated like a trusted friend. This dance is depressing. Actors are more inclined to do damage. I once had an "actor" masseur who nearly put me in the hospital, and the trauma left some scars. Many people think massage is nothing more serious than taking a nap. Training doesn't matter. They are wrong. Of course, if you're just looking for sex, than having someone oil you up and pretend to massage with fake Swedish strokes, then perhaps no big deal.

This is certainly the category that I fall into. Pros who do sensual work are difficult to find, primarily because professionals risk losing their license if they are caught (reported) for doing sensual/sexual work. Training and licensing are not cheap, so I understand why many wish to play it safe. If you lose your license, you close the door on so many work opportunities. For this reason, I understand the need to read between the lines. The may be the only venue where that is possible.

He must be busy. Those ads have to be costing him a fortune every month. He's got a great, sexy look. I'd be happy just to see (and feel) him naked. I doubt he is licensed.
