Just curious… why does Palm Springs have so many options and Provincetown has so few?

Unfortunately, I had a bad experience with Pony, too. My guess (hope?) is that a lot has changed for him since 2022, but I wouldn’t try again. I was in Palm Springs for a conference, I had texted him a couple weeks before and he was really great a communication - had a pic with rates and what to expect and everything. The day of, I texted again to confirm, he asked if we could move it back and hour and that worked - I was looking forward to it. I grabbed an uber so I’d arrive on time (and walking in the 100+ degree heat was a no go) and got dropped off outside his place. And then no response. I waited and texted for 20 minutes with no response. FIVE hours later I get a text back saying he’s sorry he missed me, that he went down for a quick nap and only just woke up and is sorry for wasting my time. I tried to be understanding, but was disappointed and out two uber rides. No offer to rebook or any communication after that. I go to Palm Springs a few times every year, but for sure have not reached out again. 

I saw him recently and he was excellent. He replied to my texts pretty fast and was easy to book. As far as the session-  I found him really warm and personable, he gave an excellent table massage (I'm a medium-to-light pressure kind of guy, if that matters), and he used the entire 90 minutes (even though I was 15 minutes late because of traffic). He's also gorgeous, he looks exactly like his photos as of late May 2025.  I left my appointment having a better day than I was having when I arrived, so to me, that's a sign of a great experience. 
I will absolutely see him again next time he's in my city. 

I'm bad at writing these, honestly. I mostly just like to chime in on the rare occasion I get a massage,  I find this forum so helpful and wanted to pay it forward. Haha.

He might have narcolepsy—there’ve been a few more reports from members saying he gives the same reason, that he fell asleep, when he disappears suddenly. He’s a really nice guy and goes above and beyond to please his clients. But the last-minute cancellations—or worse, just ghosting mid-convo—really isn’t okay.

He's great! Highly recommend.
