Tried him earlier this month. Same experience. Have not repeated but would do so.

This, plus his ad states that he offers erotic massage. Multiple name changes are a big red flag too. Seems like a scammer. I did take notice of the last line in his ad: “PS. Also available BOYFRIEND EXPERINCE [sic] without intimacy.” WTF is that?? Just taking him out to dinner, buying him things and listening to the same stories repeatedly without any sex happening? You can get a real ”boyfriend” to do all that without having to pay by the hour.

One of my regulars has an ad with body shots only and no face pic. Aside from the many good reasons stated by the posters in this thread, he has another job and it would be detrimental to his career to post a face pic. Of course, he is a handsome guy so nobody is disappointed when they get to see him face-to-face.

Same here. I have two guys who I occasionally eat lunch or dinner with after our meet up. In both case the initial suggestion came from them and not me. I also am happy to pay for the meal but would not pay anyone an hourly rate to have dinner with me, which I told them when it was initially suggested (and to be fair, neither of these gents proposed that when they suggested going out for a meal). It has actually added a nice dimension to our relationship because you get to know one another in a deeper way than you would if you are just getting together to have sex.

Totally agree. He is one of my regulars and I have seen him a lot over the last couple of years. Just book a session with him.

Just cross-referencing to his current Rentmen ad: https://rentmen.eu/Muscle_Dennis

That may well be the case. But if someone feels that way after booking an appointment then at least have the courtesy to let the masseur know. Simply bailing on the appointment without notice is just wrong.

Yesterday another masseur I know had a no show. New client, made appointment in advance and then doesn’t show up without calling or sending a text to cancel. This is three instances I have learned about in the last couple of weeks. Not sure if this is the norm or if there has been a recent increase, but either way is really disrespectful of the masseur (as it would be of anyone).

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.
