To circle back on this...  
StarGZ has magically made his way back to spam more than 100 people via PM with a plea of innocence.   This heartfelt plea of someone who is not the provider and not in any way related to @pdxrick also just happens to only refer to me as "Radiobob".   This matches other behavior where the provider created nearly a dozen accounts and flooded the site with short 1-2 word replies in an effort to make it appear they were not only defending the provider.  (Anyone remember the Deli having literally 3 pages of replies each with just a couple of words?) I've never done this before, but I recommend our members not hire or interact with this provider in any way.  
He clearly has issues with telling the truth and potentially other mental health issues as well. (Note: I'm not a doctor and I'm not qualified to diagnose issues.  This is simply my own personal observation from interactions with the provider across over a dozen accounts.)
Going forward, any further topics around this provider will automatically be locked with a reply directing people back to this thread.  This site will not be used to create a false narrative using fake accounts to promote/defend a provider.  

I met him about five years ago while visiting San Francisco and it was an A+ experience for sure.

That’s fucking hot. Makes a great scene even better. I do wonder how often that happens. I have to imagine there have been plenty of times when scene partners really click and the guy just loses himself in the moment and accidentally cums before he’s supposed to. 
 
I’ve wondered the same. He was an incredibly sexy guy. 

Hello all, I did a search and came up short. Anyone have experience with this masseur:https://rentmasseur.com/LatinoinLB? I’m planning a trip to Southern California in a couple months and it would be nice to meet up with him. Feel free to PM if you’d prefer.
 
Thanks for any incite.

I'm not. Because the science still doesn't support it, even though the CDC made the announcement. A majority of Americans are still unvaccinated. The announcement is predicated on people being honest about their vaccine status which let's be real is NOT going to happen. Expect another deadly spike soon.

Who do some of these guys think they’re fooling? The (very obviously) dyed hair and beard can’t hide the fact he’s easily in his 40s.

You are truly selfish, and I feel deeply worried for the people around you.

Wow... ?

I just hate it with politics are brought up. This has absolutely nothing to do with it.
 
I (and at least a few other members here) work in healthcare and trust me, you do not want to be infected with this virus. Being younger than 65 does not make you invincible and telling old people to stay home while you're constantly getting yourself at risk is unfair to them, to yourself, and to everyone around you. If people keep propagating the virus outside, it will eventually find its way to population at risk even if they are sheltered.
 
I have been deployed to control outbreaks more than a few times over the past year, and have heard people telling me countless times how miserable they are even after they recover. A lingering cough, constant fatigue and pain, and prolonged loss of sense of smell and taste that still hasn't come back months and months after they got infected. And that's not even an exhaustive list.
 
A lockdown is not always needed. People can (kind of) live their lives as long as they wear masks, practice social distancing, and do not hang out with people outside their households. Now, getting a massage is going far beyond normal social interactions and everyone involved is at risk. If one decides to get a massage, they should self-quarantine afterwards for 10 days with no contact with the outside world. Getting a test within a few days after the session is useless and self-quarantining is the only safe way to protect others. If you're out and about after getting a massage, you're essentially a threat to public health.
 
The idea that vaccines and testing will keep you safe at this point is, well, delusional at best. Yes there are multiple vaccines, but it could take up to a year from now or longer until most people are vaccinated. Until then, no one is safe. And even then we still haven't had them around long enough to determine the actual long term effectiveness.
 
Yes we do have tests, but not all tests are made equal and the ones you could get quickly at an urgent care (the ones that do not get referred out to a real lab) are probably less sensitive than a more complex molecular test that takes a day or two to get results, which means you could walk out of the clinic thinking you're fine but actually not.
 
Tests and vaccines don't matter much if people are still putting themselves and others around them at risk. Changing social behavior is the most important thing at this time.
 
I think you almost have the right idea, having mentioned taking precautions. However, one needs to know the difference between safe and risky behaviors.
 

Not everyone needs to quarantine. You only need to quarantine after risky encounters or exposure to a positive case. Having a prolonged, intimate contact with someone outside your household is a risky behavior and essentially against the "precautions".

Well here's a little fact about a pandemic. If one person isn't safe, no one is safe.
 
I'm really tired of the selfish and the self-righteous, preaching about their pride in being selfish, and calling everyone else stupid or brainwashed by the media.

Your words sound to me like a conspiracy theory, not unlike the allegegations of voter fraud. Many people die OF covid, and many others die WITH covid. But this distinction does not alter the facts. Without covid 400,000 people in the USA would likely still be alive and many thousands more would not be suffering permanent damage. For many with underlying health issues, covid has tipped the balance - even if covid is not what they died 'from' it has certainly hastened their demise by destabilizing their health further.

How do you expect to be taken seriously when you say something this ridiculous, not to mention stunningly offensive to the dead and survivors alike?
 
Spare us the gaslighting and just say you don't give a shit what happens to anyone else and that you're going to do whatever you feel like doing.

I'm glad that you are still well, and hopefully you were never asymptomatic and inadvertently passing covid to others. Part of the reason why infection rates are so high is because some people do not take social distancing very seriously, and I can't imagine a way for massage to be done in a socially distant manner. Nor would it be comfortable with masks and PPE. I don't think the OP was trying to scare people, but just remind people of the very real risks involved. It's great that many masseurs follow proper protocols, but nobody is perfect and mistakes can happen. Stay well.

Yes - Google " How many people have died from COVID in the USA" Answer 406,000

To everyone who has sent positive notes, or even better, made comments on here that are full of common sense and support: THANK YOU.
 
For everyone who has sent a nastygram, or continues to spread misinformation: We all have individual calculations to do about what we feel is safe, and the choices we make will have repercussions beyond ourselves. I hope your selfish and ignorant choices don't seriously harm your friends and family. I hope things work out for the best for you, and those you love.

So much truth in what others have said here. We are still in the first wave of infections in the US; the geography just changed, and maybe the demographics as more Millennials and Gen Zs get infected. Younger people appear to have a lower hospitalization rate, maybe as low as 4% while for older people >65 years, it may be 20%. Proportionally, people of color appear to be getting hit harder than Caucasians but that may be amplified by socioeconomic and co-morbidity factors. But, all in all, the virus doesn't care who you are, and whether it makes you symptomatic or not - for its success strategy, it's better having people up and about and spreading the infections person-to-person, which makes Millennials and GenZs (our favorite phenotype of masseur) prime vectors for transmission.
 
We are learning a lot about the virus incredibly fast. But with speed comes a lot of preliminary conclusions that turn out to be wrong - a lot of headlines are coming from scientific preprints that have not completed the review process. The popular press takes the preliminary conclusions, amplifies them, and maybe politicizes them. Then when something turns out to be false, there usually isn't the same amplification of the correction. Or, if it fits a political agenda, it's over-amplified to discredit science in general.
 
I think we've still got a potential for a huge wildfire of infections, with too many hotspots. and a high pressure system building (red states, too fast relaxing of lockdowns back to normality, and general non-compliance with whatever the locals rules are), and a high wind warning (resumption of travel, lack of social distancing). Our air tankers aren't ready (no vaccine, no good treatments yet), our firefighters aren't on the ground (no contact tracing), and our backfires and fire lines are weak (non-compliance). (As a Californian, I love my wildfire analogies). A lot of people ignore risks and fewer understand statistics. I have a sinking feeling that late September and October are going to be very ugly.
 
So for now and the foreseeable future until this first wave subsides, I'm jerking off, best I can while my dog is scratching at the bedroom door. If this goes on for many more months, my thirst for human physical contact and my little head may take control, and I may get a massage. But it would be with a masseur that I trust; in SF, I'm lucky to know educated masseurs with some experiences in real health education, including an ICU nurse. And if I do get a massage, it will be much more subdued in the sensual nature than I usually am looking for. And then I will be extra careful about my exposure to others for at least one week, so that my risk-choice is solely on me and not foisted upon unsuspecting others.

For those of you saying "it was sanitized" like, how do you know? Did you see the provider pull fresh linens out of a sterilization bin? Did the sheets look OK so you are just assuming? Are we going on the word of providers who have little to no experience in proper sanitation procedures? Seems like we may be thinking with our little heads, gents.

I’m touch-deprived, isolated, and very depressed. But I’d rather be all of those things than COVID-infected. Scientists and medical professionals have consistently warned of a second wave without consistent and widespread precautions, and now we’re seeing that wave emerge. I’m continuing to abstain from massages while making small donations to my regular to help him make ends meet. I hope others exercise restraint as well for now.

A man, or woman for that matter, desperate for $$$ will lie about anything.

It's ludicrous and dangerous. PASS

That was sort of my thinking as well, but I figured I’d ask.

Went about it the old fashioned way. Found a sub dude on SCRUFF and made him give me a rubdown and blow me.

It’s worth the wait! ??

Ok Big Dale’s name is very appropriate. Wasn’t fully hard and was huge and impressive. I’d be lining up.
