That's too bad he is therapeutic only. I had wondered whether he offered more based off of that bathroom selfie of himself with a seemingly hard erection/bulge visible through his shorts.

I was quoting a portion of what the original poster said ... in his full comment he said foreign massuers were the "worst of the worst" and that sounds pretty xenophobic to me. 
I can empathize with anyone who had a bad experience due to misunderstandings in communication, but there's no need to assert that it's best practice to "avoid" anyone who is foreign or non fluent in English. 
Also Google Translate is free.

I agree with most of your "tips" but this one about "If their English is bad" is a bit xenophobic. English fluency does not make someone a more skilled massuer, and it certainly isn't a prerequisite for learning massage. Some of the best massages I've had have been from non-native English speakers.

I treat it the same as Yelp reviews for a restaurant or a car mechanic or whatever else. No one review is gospel, you have to take an average of many reviews together. Look for things multiple different review all or mostly separately say. If a business has 50 reviews, and 1 person says "service was terrible!", i would assume that customer probably is a Karen and was the troublemaker or that the waiter was probably just having an off day. If the business has 50 reviews and 25 of those reviews all say some semblance of "the food is good but the wait staff could use some improvement", that's a pattern and something that's likely a fairly consistent experience at that business.

Hi all, I've been seeing Masseurs here in LA for many years, and kept notes on the good, the bad, and the ugly.   I've never posted my reviews to provide some secrecy but after paying $250 for an absolutely awful therapeutic massage in LA last week I'm done protecting providers.
So let me ask y'all: should I post my notes?  I've seen so many of them here in LA and by and large I must say the overall quality is just average here.  There a few standouts who really understand service but many do not.
I'm feeling now that if you suck at your job people have a right to know.
Thoughts?
 

Tone deaf and moronic.

I saw him tonight and can report that he does sensual massages. It was not full service but there were plenty of sensual elements and a HE. 

wow his ass is amazing! what is this from?

Highly recommend https://rentmasseur.com/BenGood in LA. Nice guy with great technique. 
 

Are those "Asian hung" or really hung (8 inches or more)? 

He really looks like a nice guy

Looks like a nice guy. Too bad he only offers outcall. 

Highly recommend https://rentmasseur.com/BenGood in LA. Nice guy with great technique.

He's Fernando on IslandStuds.com

I just took the plunge and saw Miles last night in Hollywood.   The photos are correct, he’s very hot, and I think he’s even leaner than the pictures above.  Very attractive man, incredible muscular and hairy body.  
 
The massage itself was good.  I saw his videos on instagram and was very intrigued.   His style is unlike anything I’ve experienced. He was in a tank top and shorts and he uses his whole body to stretch you and massage you.  He gets physically close to you, like his chest was on top of me, and in any other situation it would have been a very hot experience, but like the other posts above, he’s pretty vacant, looking off into the distance, not a lot of smiling, not really checking in.  He would tell me to relax and not tense up, but that was it.  
 
I have to agree with the YMMV comments, as he kept everything therapeutic.  However his massage style is very sensual … using his body, using his fingertips to trace lines up and down.  He would grab and play my hair too, which was a mixed signal to me.  Knowing what I know from the boards, I was wondering if he was going to upsell me for extras, but alas I didn’t make the cut.  Not that it bothers me tremendously, but it does feel disappointing that I didn’t even pass the test lol! I’m guessing I’m not his type!  But that taps into insecurities that are much too deep for my post 😂. Kidding, kidding.
 
anyway would I come back? I don’t know.  I workout 4-5 times a week and am always sore… so if I need serious bodywork… I might look elsewhere.  If he sold me with a little more friendliness and warmth, then I would for sure go back. 

As well as the headquarters of the Los Angeles Police Department 🤦‍♂️

Correct....if you list LA, it puts you in the heart of LA which is Downtown City Hall.  That spot also houses the jail so..  😈   HAHAHA!

The "map me" portion of his ad puts him in DTLA.  But that may mean nothing because I think that is the default position the website uses if the RM does not give a specific location. 🤷‍♂️

Agreed...I'd give it go.  And yes...LA is rather vague....it could be over 45 minutes from 1 end to the other

Interested as well. I appreciate his transparency about still being in training. Very handsome in his pictures. Not sure what part of LA he is based out of though. 

So far, the current average per session among all these great masseurs is $157 for a 60-minute incall. Not bad at all. Any other “winners” for this year?
Name Rate (USD) Duration MiddleEastMuscle $120 60 min Martin $81 60 min Robert $104 60 min Alex $200 60 min JJ $195 60 min Feras $200 60 min Jason $280 60 min Dragon $140 60 min James $150 60 min JT $165 60 min Sky $150 60 min Michael $135 60 min Brando $115 60 min Jeremiah $170 60 min Russ $150 60 min  
 

A trend I’ve noticed here is that the really good masseurs are usually in their 30s and up. Makes sense, experience shows. Meanwhile the 20-something adonis types show up like, “I’m here so you can admire my body… and also for the quick cash.” Most of them give you a 10-minute “massage” that feels like a warm-up, and then they jump straight into the erotic part...

Echoing this. Nice guy providing a great massage!
