Just gonna update that I saw him a last month. Very nice body (a little leaner than in his pics but still muscular). English isn't his first language so you may have some communication barrier if you don't speak Chinese. The massage is actually pretty good, but he's one of those people who will just tell you to turn over after and he goes through the motions. He fondles a bit when you are facing down but that's really it. He wouldn't do anything more.

Yeah, I had warts many years ago. Traumatizing...someone sleuthed me and it wasn't cool. I was told by a doc that the warts represented the low-risk strains, but I was recommended by a derm and proctologist to get the Gardasil-9 vaccine, which I ended up getting. It's kinda the only thing you can do aside from limiting your number of partners. Unfortunately men don't appear to have any solid HPV test like women do. I was told by the proctologist that anyone sexually active has had some strain of HPV at some point (there are like 200 ish or something), but you just want to be active in not catching the high-risk strains. I've always wondered orally how safe we as gay men are because there were studies a few years ago saying lots of oral sex increases the risk of oral/throat cancers by a lot. 😔

A hot take I agree with. BUT I think the CEO's shenanigans put the kibosh down on any sex-selling. The current CEO had to steer far, far away from that old image. I also think Gen Z would've dragged the shit outta A&F had they still gone the soft gay porn route.

Can confirm that he is very good looking. Body is super nice.

I'm saying anything over $250. Which is kinda high (for the stuff you're soliciting and getting).

I used to tip but I think if the person's rates are super high (like $250+), you really shouldn't feel obligated to tip. They are charging a high rate for a reason, and I'm sure some have calculated/estimated tip into it. Just my take though.

Muscles are forever what make me cum the hardest and deepest. Beefy pecs, abs glistening with sweat, and big strong guns...my kryptonite for life.

I was scammed in East Asia once. Just overall tip, as it's already been implied/noted here: if any masseur tells to you alter your payment before you meet, it is a scam. In my case, a lot of these guys use LINE or WeChat (Asian chat apps) for their communications after they match with you on some gay app. For me, once I arrived at the masseur's address, the person asked me to use the payment to buy some type of credits for an online game instead (this was prior to meeting; I was only outside their address). After my first purchase, which was legit and inside a 7-11, the person then told me I didn't buy the right kind. I was bewildered. Apparently a passport was then needed for the purchase, and I immediately nope-d out.

I think pictures can help them know who exactly they're meeting with. It can be a safety thing. But I would say being ghosted after sending a face pic probably is equal to what happens on apps: the masseur is not interested. Which is odd in this case since they are providing a service after all, one which you are paying (a lot) for. Sorry to hear.

I echo curiosity about the SGV too. There are obviously many Chinese massage places but I don't think any really cater to what we're looking for (muscular, good-looking men with good hands).

Finally found an open thread on this guy (he has a few older closed ones.) I went to him a number of years ago; he was probably my second sensual massage experience ever at the time. He lived in DTLA. Off the bat, I was stuck outside the building for a while because he lagged in getting me in. Once in his place, I had to pay upfront before the massage...I feel dumb that I even tipped. The guy had no MT or anything extra. He was super chatty throughout the massage, and the skill level was pretty basic. The HE was very through-the-motions, and I could tell he wasn't into it. I asked for a little something more and he would not engage in anything beyond. I left feeling pretty disappointed. The only pro I give him is that he is good looking and has a big, muscular bod.

I would agree too. I have tipped in the past because I've felt pressured. But thinking back now, the prices are insane....there shouldn't be anything more expected. The price is high because they're doing more than a massage.

Yeah, I think a "stage name" of a sort is fine given the work they're doing (their faces are visible though). But lying in pics and stats (and otherwise) is misleading and flat-out wrong.

Got it, thanks. Seems like there is some truth and deception at play. The pics look pretty old too.

Can you elaborate on "not nearly as lean"? And how is his English? I came across his listing but have been hesitant since I have encountered Asian guys using fake pics before. They'll take some Chinese fitness dude or clothing model's pics. One of Ryan's current pics can be reverse-searched to a sunglass listing.
