One of my regulars told me recently that someone booked a four-handed massage with him and another masseur and then was a no-show, thus wasting the time of two masseurs. Fortunately one of the guys was hosting at his place so at least they were not out the money for a studio rental. So rude.

Exactly! Like a bug frozen in amber.

As do ads where the masseur says “Ask Me” in reference to his rates. And then there are the guys whose ad states a price but then once you are on his massage table engages in an upsell at a rate significantly higher than the rate advertised.

Tonight he is advertising as “available now“ in NYC with his home location listed as Detroit.

That topic has been discussed at some length around these parts. Here is a thread: https://www.companyofmen.org/threads/what-to-do-if-your-falling-in-love-with-your-regular-masseur-or-escort.160183/post-200519

My two 2020 favorites in NYC are the same as in 2019: Jose- https://www.masseurfinder.com/massage-therapists/28987/. Sweet guy, sexy lean body, great deep massage. Not a clock watcher and never any upselling. Great feedback here in the forum. StrongStrokes -https://rentmasseur.com/StrongStrokes. Handsome, friendly, skilled at relaxing Swedish massage. Again, no upselling, lots of good reviews and feedback here in the forum.

Have you met him @BaronArtz, or planning to?

https://rentmasseur.com/Realmanstouch Agree price is reasonable by NYC standards. I have always wanted to meet him when he traveled east to NYC but never got the chance. Hopefully some day post-pandemic!

Hmmm. Having read @baronartz’s post I may have to reconsider....

He is still advertising but had a name change: https://rent.men/Jay_Bonnan I have chatted with him. Seems like a nice guy. Checks all the boxes for me. May try and meet him in a couple of weeks.

I belonged to the NYSC on Wall Street for several years and can totally relate to @dutchal’s post! The downstairs locker room and steam/sauna areas always had activity. The Broad Street location that replaced it is not only much smaller but has no steam room or sauna (consistent with what seemed to be a growing trend at NYSC of eliminating one or both). The City Hall location continued to have both a sauna and steam room and there were opportunities for play there too (pre-pandemic), especially during “off” hours.

I never went to NYAC but a friend used to teach judo there (long after the nudity rules were changed). I knew that going naked was required for the swimming pool but had no idea it applied to the gym too! How about the wrestling and fencing classes? That could have been interesting to watch!!

Seems like he is based in P’town and no longer in NYC.

Reviews on RM are mixed and he hasn’t been reviewed for over a year. His ad offers erotic massage and his private pics seem to support that, so providing a strictly therapeutic session with no sensuality seems somewhat dishonest.

Yup. Know exactly who you mean. Saw him a couple of times. This was a few years ago. He disappeared rather suddenly as I remember.

No personal experience but this masseur is very well-reviewed and one review posted today was for a couples massage: https://rentmasseur.com/LuisNYC

Do you have a link you can post? Otherwise those not on the Scruff app won’t know who you are talking about.

Or a glossary of terms!

Or guys who claim 10+ years of experience and list their age as 26.

Check out StrongStrokes. Lots of great feedback here in the forum. https://rentmasseur.com/StrongStrokes Another great choice is Jose. Again, lots of good feedback in the forum. https://www.masseurfinder.com/massage-therapists/28987/ I have seen both numerous times (more than I can count haha) and have always been satisfied. I am sure they can deliver what you are looking for.

I would almost give him a pass if he checks his phone while warming up the massage oil, but once he starts the massage the phone should be off limits. You didn’t identify that as an issue so maybe that’s not worth mentioning. Consistently shorting you on time is different and I would definitely raise that with him. But is it really the case that in a four year relationship he has never once gone the full hour? Or just that he does it frequently enough that it’s annoying? That should be a relatively easy issue to address and correct.

No experience but noticed his profile says he has been on RM since November 2019 and no reviews. Quite pricey for a massage!!

Yes. It was quite jarring to see how they were made to appear in the last season. But we digress....

Just a suggestion: you might get more responses if you started a separate thread on Victor, or posted in the thread on NYC spas.

Overall his ad is a turn off (read his “interview” responses).
