Bummer. In addition to Deron and the first Danny mentioned, I also had a good experience with Tim. Hopefully you can have a better experience before you leave!

I had posted in one of the threads a few years ago before seeing him and have subsequently seen him 3 times - once in London and twice in the US - very good massage and great guy - definitely recommend.
They are different guys - Luca and Sharok. Sharok is doing porn now and has an only fans. He was using the name Luka Miklos for awhile. They are however friends I believe.
Here are a couple threads from awhile back.

So this thread and most of the links within are about the same guy - Marcus. RealTantric = TantricBeast on RM

I saw him earlier this year and while my experience was overall positive - it was pricey and was not a great massage, but nonetheless quite enjoyable. He lives in NY but travels quite a bit.
I agree. Ethan got better for me as I saw him a couple more times and agree he is not the best if you prioritize the massage first and foremost but he is a nice guy and fun. Danny, however, was a complete bust for me so definitely YMMV.
Agree on Arthur. Bene can also give a great therapeutic massage only - just be up front about it. He may be away right now.

Since you will be close already (relatively), I would suggest Michael who lives in the valley and has parking in his driveway.

I had a nice 4 hand from them 2-3 years ago not sure if they are still offering. Samuel was as @Mhs describes.
I have not personally, but it’s both surprising and I guess not surprising how many oft -discussed masseurs in places like LA and NY are on Grindr- some advertising massage and some not.
