I do think a guy that you find online that is prompt with responses and easy to connect with in person is an important factor when booking.

It's always a pleasure to encounter someone who behaves like a professional. The sea of flakes is depressing.

I don't think he's new, but he's changed his look. He's older now. Not sure about a name change. I believe he's Russian. An artist. Possibly hung. I don't remember what the consensus was on him, but I think it was positive. He was on my list long ago. I like lean guys who are strong.

“If in-call is needed you will need to book a 60 min The Works session or more and it does require you to pay once you arrive.”

Oh yes, and then there was that.

IMO, easy to book, prompt, and easy to get along with are not stellar reasons to praise a massage. For me, talent comes first. The guy's ad is very weird. Forces you to TEXT, but demands his time be respected. Then all the talk of heart attack, panic attack, and stroke does nothing for my blue balls.

Because @queensboroboy is a whore….. it’s not unusual around here.

Interesting reply, even with the grin. It seems to me, gay men are notorious for enjoying lots of flavors (not just gay men). Why limit yourself to one apple, when you can taste endless apples from around the world? There are 7500 varieties of apple worldwide. I don't think the concept of monogamy applies to tasting apples. I don't think freedom of choice makes one a "whore." But I got the pun.

A lot of people believe they are good at something when they are not. A sexy photo can get someone in the door, but it can't keep someone coming back. Ultimately, a customer can't know for sure until he tries for himself. Given the cost of massage, it's great we have a resource to test the waters.

I once had a friend who wanted to do massage. He insisted he had a natural gift. He seduced me into trying him out. He had the most peculiar touch, with cold, clammy hands. I didn't know how to say anything without severely hurting his feelings. I went ahead and told him he should never touch another naked body. He was devastated. There's no taking that moment back. We're no longer friends.

None of the photos look like a 32-year-old body to me.

Age scraping is such a white lie. If he's great at massage, I fail to see any benefit of depriving yourself of his talent. I get the disappointment, though. However, a lot of men can't face the truth of their age. Much like women, they lie. It's just a fact of life, and it has nothing to do with their skill or ability to be sexy/sensual.

If you book with the guy, and you see in-person his face/neck/hands look 60, then you can ask him why he lies. He'll probably say it seduces customers into booking. Maybe you can explain how extreme the lie is, and he'd be better off upping the number to 42.

I would say that more than 96% of people who contact me and visit me are good people.

That's a remarkable stat. Almost makes me feel better about the world.

For what it's worth, I would never criticize the work of a massage therapist to his face, especially for a first time appointment. If a therapist asked me for immediate feedback after the massage was completed, I would offer nothing but praise, and keep my honest thoughts to myself. If I wasn't happy with the massage, I would not book again. IME, it is never a good idea to criticize a stranger in the service business. Many people can't handle criticism. Why put yourself at risk, and potentially cause a very uncomfortable disruption?

IMO, no one can please everyone. Some customers aren't worth the trouble. Better to just let them go.

I think it's very unfair to write a negative review based on one visit. I would never do it.

Nick is hot, and what a great deal at €150.

His ad says he's certified. I wouldn't mind communicating with him, but he says "text only." Moving on.

The photo in his white underwear is enough for me. Not sure what a guy could do with that while receiving a massage. I go to massage to relax, not to work. Raf seems to stress in his ad his need for "good energy" customers. I wonder what that means? Who are the bad energy customers he wants to avoid, and how does he define bad energy?

what's with all the pearl clutching?

I don't know what pearl clutching is. I'm an old guy, and I don't wear jewelry.

OMG "it's illegal"!!!

I'm not the one who wrote OMG, and nor did I use 3 !!! after the word illegal. I was simply stating a fact. Some guys here talk about "tipping" as if they are dining at Luger's. Some guys talk about Asian-owned men's spas as if they're visiting a Four Seasons Hotel. It's silly, and naive.

He needed me to send an Uber for him

Wow. That could cost the price of massage these days.

I looked at his photos over at MF, and something seems a bit off. Not only are the photos very poor quality, but the tattoo one is a downer. He doesn't even look well. I decided to take a pass.

Too bad, he’s super cute.

He's also got a beautiful erection, judging by the porn I searched. I suspect he's bi, but why all the negative massage reviews? It's too bad. If the guy was super cool and talented, he could sweep up in the gay community, and make a fortune.

First time seeing his ad. I think he's hot. Great smile.

Per RMasseur email says $225/60 and $325/90 in

Those prices are a bit steep for me, especially since I'm not looking for anything sexual. I still may have to contact him to ask a few questions.

not only are they fit and quite good-looking, they all appear to be pretty young

Most are younger guys, but not all. In social media, he seems to be very honest about his personal type, and the things that turn him on. But he doesn't require his type to do the work. He seems to like tight, hairless chests, and lots of nipple play. Many handsome, hairless Asians in the mix. I'm sure he's pointed and focused on how he markets himself. Plenty of details without going overboard. If he visited nyc, I would see him. An edging experience by a professional who loves this work is a mind-blowing experience. I also believe it's quite healthy for the body and soul.

Joel seems like an expert at tantric. He's no simple rub-and-tug, time-waster. This guy takes his work quite seriously, and he's been doing it a long time. Regarding price, $300 a session seems fair to me (even though it seems he is charging less). Edging someone properly requires a lot of concentration work. I've done it several times. Most of the men in his photos/videos appear to be fit and quite good looking. I imagine a large percentage of his clientele consists of average or below average guys. It's great that he doesn't require a photo to secure service, but imagine doing 5-6 tantric sessions a day with men you don't find sexy or attractive. It's possible he's the consummate professional, and never lets anyone feel insecure or under-appreciated. I love giving sexy guys a great hand job, but if this were my job and I was super-good at it, I would need money and a lot of it to motivate me to give my all each time. This work is not a traditional massage.

The greater problem here is the decision making and misinformation

I don't mind an education. I wrongly assumed Mannu's heritage without fully reading his ad. The name Mannu struck me as Indian origin, not Spanish. From the ad photos, he looked exactly like the Indian guys I watch on massage videos produced in India. I was quite surprised to learn he identifies as Cuban. I've never met a Cuban named Mannu.

As for "Abhyanga" massage, I learned the term from several YouTube travel creators, and they described the massage in the manner I wrote about. I'm not at all trying to suggest that I am an authority on massage in India, since watching these massage videos, produced in India, is a new experience for me.

If I get a great massage and an exciting happy ending from someone who I am attracted to

There's a bounty on beauty. I always knew it.

The US is tip-crazy.

Certainly everyone outside the U.S. agrees. In some countries, we are hated for it.

Now that I am retired, I can barely afford the service. When I turned 60, I started to ask self-employed masseurs if tipping was required. If they said yes, then I would not book and move on. I'm not a HE customer, and I make that clear, but I do want the guy to be naked. I don't touch him (unless he asks), so no extra work required. If he has a great reputation for skill, then I often let go of the naked preference. Luckily, most massage guys enjoy working with no clothes. As for looks, my meter is generous. Model types and pumped-muscle guys generally intimidate me.

Back in the 80's, I once had a private conversation with a hairdresser who worked at Vidal Sassoon on 5th Ave. He told me he just got a raise, from 20% to 25%. I was stunned. The guy had been working there for years. Most people don't freely talk about their paycheck. I think a lot of people would be shocked to learn what service people actually make when working for a corporation or an independent employer.

Are you saying that "Billionaire Ronald Perelman" is actually a politician? 

No, he's not saying that. My words were deleted, so everyone is left to wonder WTF. This board is weird.

Emailed him as follows:  "Whereabouts are you hosting incalls in NYC? Do you have a phone for contact? Tell me more about the massage! Rate(s)? Thanks!"

Answer (this is the complete answer he gave): "In maspeth". 

I usually ask 3 questions, and all three answers are very important to me. If I get a response with only 1 question answered, I move on. I don't have time for service people who play hard-to-get. Instant turn-off.

Imagine how busy this guy would be if he had a customer-focused personality (enjoying his life and eager to please). A mediocre massage would not even matter. Imagine if he actually had strong talent as a masseur. He'd be booked solid for months.

I'm guessing this is a provider who is OK with the occasional hookup.

Mauricio and Giovanni are both hot, IMO. I love Mauricio's RM armpit photos. I wonder if he's into a little pit worship?

The video clips at the link are fun to watch. Thanks.

It's amazing to me how many guys leave questions unanswered. I ask three specific questions, nothing to do with sex, and often, I'll get a reply back with only one answer. I don't get it. If you can't (or won't) tell me what kind of massage cream you use, then I move on. I stopped repeating my unanswered questions long ago. It gets too tiring. I move on fairly quickly. Too many not-serious people out there.

Some guys just enjoy making us laugh. 😇
