anyone who reads this forum and still considers hiring this guy is crazy.  As for his "all my guys leave happy" response, I would be shocked if he's given ANYONE a HE, as he gives off the vibe of being repulsed by having to touch you.    This is not just my experience, but basically every other person on this forum who has commented the past few years. 

The last time I saw him, he offered me the upsell LOMI LOMI, and then the additional upsell of doing it nude, which I stupidly went for,  Absolutely was NOT worth it

I think I was one of his first clients ever in suburban Boston and at that point he was fresh out of massage school, had actual intake forms and delivered a solid B plus therapeutic massage.  It was absolutely clear he was straight and went nowhere near inner thighs, glutes etc. but he seemed serious about massage.  Tried him again a couple of years later - which I wrote about here - and it was one of the worst experiences I've ever had.  He had clearly ditched the path of serious massage therapist and had decided he could make more money ripping off gay men by upping the rate offeriing "lomi lomi" and taking off his clothes, giving lousy massages during which he's detached, disengaged and giving off the vibe that he would rather be doing anything else in the world than touching you.  I think he's a troubled guy. He was arrested a few years ago for crashing into a tree while under the influence,  

Saw him for the first time in over two years and it was NOT a great experience.  He immediately tried to upsell me to Lomi Lomi, which he described by saying "longer strokes and you will just be under a small towel instead of the full sheet."  That was a $60 upsell for an hour; then he said I can do it nude if you want for another $80.  And in the moment I said YES.  So $260 for an hour massage.  Well somehow it was a substantially inferior massage to his strictly therapeutic one, and there was not a bit of sensuality to it.  When toward the end, I asked if it was OK if I jerked myself off, he said, "no, sorry, I don't allow that...unless you want to pay....and how long will it take you?"  I said, "pay you to jerk myself off?"  He said, "$80."  I said, "No I'm good."  He's a straight guy doing his best to soak every gay guy he can for cash, and I stupidly fell for it.  I should have just stuck with the hour long therapeutic for $120 because I think THAT he does quite well.  Just don't get sucked in on the EXTRAS!!!!!

anyone have a session yet?

DM’d you. Just in case it’s someone else the pics.

In text exchange this week, he was very adamant about NOT offering anything sensual,  Granted that may be what he says to someone he's never met or seen, but it was pretty absolute to me.  And I said nothing in specific terms - like HE or MT or him being naked.  

I noticed that he's advertising again on masseurfinder out of Boston.  How this guy stays in business is beyond me.  AVOID, AVOID, AVOID!!  Hands down, my worst experience!

I think they are just very booked up - they don't try to push the four hand and are perfectly fine if you choose either one of them for two-hand.  I saw Liam last year in Cambridge and Anthony the other night in Providence.  Both are super sweet, warm, sexy, friendly guys who deliver genuine, real massages on a table, in a soothing environment.  Their pics are completely accurate/real and the massage is sensual with HE, with you given a choice/price in advance of them clothed, in underwear, or nude.  No upsell during - you choose what you want when you book.  Recommend both of them.

He's now set up shop in the Long Beach / Lakewood / Belmont Shore area of Southern California and informed me he's making the move out this way more permanently. I booked at the lowest rate he was quoting at the time $120 for 60 minutes - which seems to be the same at current, but through conversation with him, he learned from his former yoga instructor in Boston who had also never received formal training. He gave me the same upgrade pitch to Lomi Lomi ($80) when I arrived and I declined as it was our first experience together and I told him I would consider it were we to work together in the future. The space he is/was working out of seemed to be an Airbnb adjacent flop pad more than anything with trash bags by the door waiting to go out and a replay of an old foorball game on the TV. He said he would put on some relaxing music - that never happened. His table was setup in the middle of the room and the room had no curtains or window coverings and it was the middle of the day so it was full brightness - not relaxing at all, even though I was face down. I ended the massaged about 35 minutes into the 60 and informed him that he needed to consider taking some refresher courses in massage before booking additional clients as he had wasted my time and was wasting his time as well. I left in more discomfort than I had arrived in. My local legit massage guy moved to Denver so I was hopeful this guy might be the answer and that was absolutely not the case. No dice. Please, do not waste your time. If you have worked with him in the past and had a positive experience, this guy is definitely no longer that guy. Be it the pandemic or life in general, I am not sure, but something has definitely changed and this guy is to be avoided. At least for the foreseeable future. I am very confident he means well, but as previously referenced, he is definitely straight and is gay baiting best I can tell from our conversation, and has zero current skills to provide in a legitimate and assistive nature related to massage. I hope he figures things out and turns his life and skill set around, but if you're looking for any "++" here, you are definitely not going to find it. Keep moving guys, you'll find something better elsewhere.

Having lived with him for five years - more than a decade ago - I can attest to the fact that he is wildly mercurial and can (and does) abruptly cut people out of his life - friends, family, clients, boyfriends - without any explanation.  It's usually the tiniest thing, or a complete misunderstanding of something someone has said or done....or he just suddenly becomes irritated by them.  He invented ghosting.  

Saw him a few times when he lived down here, thought he was great each time.

I am in no way disparaging the quality of his massage - in fact, I was the person who got him into the profession and paid for his training.  He clearly has many years of very satisfied customers and is very skilled.  And he can be a very charming, sweet guy.  But he can also be the guy that many people on here have commented on over the years - someone who just shuts people off instantly, often without them having any clue of why.  Maybe sometimes those people did something that warranted it; often not.  And that's the only reason I commented at all - to say that if that's happened to you, know that you're in a very large group and don't take it personally.   And for all of those commenting that you've only had good experiences - that's great.  Keep going.   I only wish him well.

Not inappropriate at all. His comments help to understand how many of us were made to feel by the provider and that it was not something we did.
