Yes

he’s definitely a total top 

I saw Remi about a month or so ago. his set up was still the same as the most recent poster described (in his room, with roommates, etc) — it felt pretty private and secure to me still so I didn’t mind that too much. 
 
I thought he was super personable (a bit chatty which I don’t mind every now and then) and gave the massage nude. he’s Hung with a capital H and that made for a nice interaction and release in the end. if I were visiting san diego again, good chance i’d see him again if I wasn’t very into other options.

Had a similar experience here. It wasn't completely terrible but also not someone I would book again. Pictures were definitely accurate though. Hot man. 

^Just took the bait. I should have listened to those who shared the negative reviews. Don’t go for it. Not worth it even with the price. Everything’s mechanical and my body is more painful now than it is feeling good. Note: i’m also a decent looking guy in my 20s. I guess he’s really like that to everybody.

lol...sorry but you could not get a guy hard so he must have ED. I have guys who cant get me hard and it has not one damn thing to do with ED. Hone your skills sweety...you'll get them to Rise Up like Sia.

I am asking this question without judgement, and from a place of genuine curiosity. Do you guys not verbalize to the provider in the moment on what you want, and/or redirect them if they are doing something unpleasant? I had a massage with someone who kept checking a beeping phone. I politely said "you know, I am finding that very disruptive. If there's some need for you to have attention elsewhere I am happy to come back another time." He apologized, silenced his phone and gave me a great rest of the session. I understand feeling vulnerable because you're naked and face down, but you have to retain ownership of your self-interest, politely.

No, just some hard unpleasant wanking.

I get your point, but for what it is worth, I have tried several masseurs who have been raved about here and not been as happy as I have with my regulars. Wasn't trying to dissuade you, just to offer some perspective. Good luck with whoever you go with!

He has been around for more than 10 years.
He is a rub and tug guy.  Massage is mediocre at best.  Limited mutual touch.
He also posts on sniffles frequently with a GH.  
I would not recommend.  Why pay when he provides for free.

I coordinated to schedule an appointment with Erik and confirmed a time. While the exchanges were professional and prompt, there were some lines of questioning where I felt I needed to disclose that I was a non-white man. I’m glad I did because his response was cancelling the appointment with the reason provided being my race. Not even kidding.  This was honestly humiliating but have to take it directly I guess. He could have made up *anything* else but didn’t. So take that as you wish.
I hope people will check this thread to save themselves the embarrassment. :-/
Happy DM more details if it’s helpful for people here. 

OK so I met and had a session with Andrew today! Overall, it was really, really great. He and I definitely had some good chemistry, especially at the end, which I think mattered for the session a lot... 😉 His photos are accurate...he's hot, cute, and smiled much more than his pictures kind of give off. There were a few things that lead me to believe this could have potentially been a YMMV type provider... I guess we'll see when more of you start to meet him and report back. 
In regards to my YMMV speculation: His massage skills were honestly excellent. You can tell he's well trained and really gives a shit about doing the body work right so that was a treat. He told me I could get as undressed as I feel comfortable with ( like always, I chose naked) but in the way he offered I could tell he wouldn't be dressing down. It all seemed very kind of Massage Envy corporate at first. LOL. As expected, he stayed in his gym shorts, and his tank top white undershirt. He also had one of the waist straps bands that holds the oils and lotions. So when I noticed all these things, paired with a really good massage, I kind of assumed there would likely be no sensual elements. I was happily wrong and we finished with some pretty excellent extras. 
I'll 100% go to him again. Biggest downside is DUMBO is a bitch to get to but it was worth it. I'll be curious to read future reviews here! 
(Also not a peep from the dogs like his profile kind of alludes to, so that was good!) 

agree! saw shawn last week and can confirm the body is very nice and the pics very accurate. the massage was genuinely good in my opinion. I went to his place for incall and it is *tiny* - very very small place and he has a dog in there that was mostly not bothersome. but he made it a good experience. i’d probably see him again if I were somewhere with way fewer options than nyc. overall recommend though (MT/HE)

Thank you for saving me $$$$ and a trip to the East Village!

I typically like to try the newbies next door too! I tried Simon was extremely sweet, clearly new to the practice and also a bit nervous. Honestly everyone... it was bad.  I tried to find some ways to tell him that his price point was too high (especially with no reviews, and no face), but honestly felt silly trying to give that feedback given I was there about to pay it. LOL. (It was right before the NYC blizzard so I took the plunge).
For anyone wondering, he does have a cute face, in my opinion. Can't recall, I think he's from Ecuador or Colombia and is pretty new to NYC (by way of Utah). He's located in a tiny spot in the East Village but does have a table. He ZOOMED (truly in less than 10 min) through a full body rubdown and then instantly wanted to get into the deli extras. This was fine but there was no build up and it was just extremely awkward. He kept asking me for guidance on whether or not I should turn over or which part of my body to hit next. Lacked skill and kind of wherewithal of what to do. So yeah, just overall not great unfortunately. 
Pictures are about 80% accurate I'd say. Needless to say, sadly won't be repeating. He asked afterwards via text if I'd leave a review but I kind of just didn't answer that question. I didn't want to leave a negative one as his first on the public page (and didn't want to leave a dishonest good review either) so I opted out of doing so.

any recent interactions anyone has had?

Try Julien in Bushwick.  He goes by youngguyoldsoul.  I have had great experiences with him.  Very good and intuitive massage on a table.

I saw him about a month ago and do not recommend.  Does not look like his pictures - he's far thinner than pictured.  Has no massage experience at all - same brush strokes repeated over and over.   No sensuality whatsoever.  At one hour, he stopped, said times up, put his clothes on and left.  No nudity, no HE or MT.  

His dog is cute

recently experienced him and this is the perfect way to describe it
