All I have to say is that humans are complex creatures and bonds can form, even affection and love. And this can go both ways. Why be clinical and cold about it? 

Interesting set of photos for someone who insists his massage is therapeutic only. He does list “sensual” as an option so maybe it is a YMMV situation. Agree that $275 for a purely therapeutic session is way overpriced even for NYC. 

I have done a couple of massages with him and one escort session (all were great). But since he has a Rentmen ad active you shouldn’t expect  to get the escort experience during an erotic massage.  His escort rate was fair and competitive for NYC guys when I saw him (probably about a year ago).

I deleted a comment I made a few weeks ago in this thread after @Alex.Blessings reached out to me 1:1 to understand my feedback. I wanted to share an update here, which is twofold.
(1)
@Alex.Blessings messaged me offering a free follow-up session to address any feedback I had. Though I was initially hesitant, he genuinely seemed interested in my feedback, which I will admit I did not offer him after my first session. I guess I am not used to sharing feedback live with a masseur after a massage, when and if I have any. When I shared the feedback with him, he was very fair in responding to it and offered me to share exactly what I was looking for in the massage. I did, and I told him if it wasn't a match and it's not what he offers, no hard feelings and we could each move on. I truly appreciated his offer to try to understand my feedback and what I was looking for in a session - I had never experienced that with a masseur before, and I have tried many.
He agreed to the items I listed and once again offered a free session to give it another try. He was very kind about it. We had our session last night and it was everything I asked for - he took my feedback into account and incorporated all I asked for. I've tried a bunch of masseurs this year and have not yet found my regular, but after last night I don't think I need to continue my search and will be visiting Alex on a regular basis. I didn't want to take his offer for granted, so I did provide a tip for his generous offer and thorough session.
If you plan to meet Alex, just be open about what you're expecting or hoping for, and he will do the same in return. Perhaps I should have done so before our first session.

Everyone needs to take the temperature down a bit on this thread. Our world is full of enough hatred and division; it doesn't take much to be cordial and nice to one another, even when we disagree. This should be a forum in which people are comfortable sharing their views and none of us should be worried about being attacked for our opinions. 
@Alex.Blessings genuinely sought out my feedback, made a very generous offer to rectify the situation, and provided a session that was everything I asked for. Thank you, Alex, and I look forward to many more sessions together.

@Vin_Marco I appreciate the advice, my friend. I was thinking about doing some more strength training and even yoga. I know those sound like two significant contrasts, but yoga will help with slow-twitch muscle groups and flexibility, while weight lifting will help build muscle. 

I even started doing a protein shake as my creamer for my iced black coffee to increase my protein intake over the last two weeks. The main focus for me is losing weight at this point.

+1 on Lucamassini. Highly recommended.

RENTMASSEUR.COM View my profile on RentMasseur.com Two excellent options in NYC for LESS than $200 an hour. Guys who charge more, especially those who see themselves as "models" are to be avoided in my book. Usually way too much into themselves and not really into doing massages or improving their skills. Or just pure grab-the-money-and-run scammers, my 2c.

Oh, Gawd!
Not another one of them!!!

clear up that 6'11"/135 lbs snafu!.....thanks

300 an hour is my max generally, although I have made an exception or two at 320 or 350, but rarely. Lots of hot guys available in NYC at that rate or in some cases even lower.

Insanely hot.

Hope it does not fall off from the STI . 20-30 guys a weeks is a lot of digging 

He has had an active Rentmen ad for more than a year and no reviews. 

PDA should be negotiable, especially for longer engagements like overnights since public activities are usually involved.  The problem is it's not often discussed in advance and depends on each person's comfort level in the moment.  In this case, if the escort was uncomfortable holding hands in a theater, he is very discreet and should probably let clients know before an long engagement.
It should always be OK for either party to say "let's keep it more discreet for now" if they're uncomfortable.
For the escort's side, I'd say follow the client's lead and only initiate PDA consistent with what the client has done already.  I'm not as sure what is best in the client's case, however.
The client's reaction, in this case, seems excessive. I wonder if there was more to this interaction that lead to the client dumping the escort (something that came across as disgust or rejection?), or a verbal argument?
 

He opened me up to a whole new level of experience. 😉. 

MmM, you’re my kinda guy 🫣😄

Just saw him again after a long hiatus, and I can attest he now gives the best massage in NYC. 

I am the same way. Not attracted to twinks and like more mature guys. The three guys I consider “regulars” range in age from 34 to early 40s. The two that still advertise have knocked a few years off their actual age but that doesn’t bother me at all since they look exactly like their photos. In fact, one guy’s age was accurate when he started advertising but he hasn’t updated it with each passing year and I suspect few would.

I find it fascinating that most the concerns and comments are much more about the physical looks of some because of age, and maturity and “values” of someone are much more indifferent irrespective of age.
