The first guy in the duo is from South Africa and Ihave seen him a few times on previous trips to Capetown before he moved to the US pre-covid. He was quite good. PM me for details of you want.

Thank you for sharing this story. I’m sorry that happened to you . One would think that he could have at least let you know about the emergency in advance even if last minute. It seems like common courtesy. Also a bit suspicious that there were cars in the driveway. I once had a masseur confirm an appointment date time with me saying he would confirm his location on the day of. When that day and time came, I texted him and there was no response, message, or apology afterwards. I did a little internet sleuthing and found him on IG where he was at the beach with his BF. haha. I think some of these guys massage for sport and extra cash and really don’t ever think about the world of their clients.

Thank you! Well I feel like I need to repent in dust and ashes. I did have a session with Pasha yesterday (he broke my streak and was a very prompt responder) and it was total perfection if there is such a thing in massage-world. https://rentmasseur.com/PashaNYC

Thank you all for these responses. I neglected to say that I have just relocated to NYC and am experiencing this here where there are lots of options and lots of competition for the providers. I am just a bit mystified.

I am going through a period of contacting masseurs for appointments based on their ads and simply getting no response at all. I simply state my name, the ad I’m responding to, the date, time range, and type of massage I’m looking for (based on options in the ad). I usually include that I am fully vaxxed. And I’m getting just nothing back. This is unusual for me and I’m wondering about it. If the provider is not interested for any reason, what is so hard about responding with something like “Thank you for your interest but I’m not available.” It’s doesn’t seem like good business to not respond at all. But maybe that’s not important to them. Whatever I am missing here let me know.

I saw him twice when he was in Houston (prior to his move to Austin). Very unusual, I agree, but not bad. PM me for details.

I agree! I’ve been there twice recently and great experiences both times. Also the price is very reasonable for what you get.

I agree with @dutchal. There are times when all I want is a good therapeutic massage and nothing more. It helps to know from the provider that it will only be therapeutic.

Looks amazing. His location says Manhattan but only through the 5th. Where is he normally? What kind of rate does he charge?

This is a very helpful conversation about price. I am grateful for this site and everyone’s perspective. I recognize that prices for everything have gone up significantly and that people are needing “touch” just to say sane. We are made to need touch and covid and now MP are warring against that. I have received a superb massage for sometime for around $150/90min (before tip) from private well trained masseurs who are extremely health conscious and take all the precautions with clean sheets and towels and you name it. If those providers go up in price, I will pay the increase. But others who charge higher than $180 for so much less, I can’t risk that. I will pay for good quality and value but not for something that doesn’t help my own quality of life. I think individual experience with masseurs and hiring and one’s own needs helps sort through where the risk lines are.

Just to let everyone know, I had a very good experience this week with “WhyNot Men’s Spa” NYC. First time there and it was a half price day and the service was great. Excellent manicure and pedicure too.

Worlds for me this morning…

Not sure because I only saw Jorge and Rodrigo at the old location. I really the Chris there now however.

Oh my gosh! Now I see what all the fuss is about.

Excellent! Thank you.

Page is town unfortunately…

Sounds shady and ad is down…

I should know this… what is the “Europe section”?

His ad is down so can’t see who this hot guy is (sad face)

His ad is back up now. Got a text from him saying he’s offering massage again.

Hey! Was at a Shangrila this week and the DO still have the table shower, it’s just not free for members anymore, it’s $30 for 15min. Just had one. I booked my massage with Chris afterwards and it was great!

I need to try him as he is up in my neck of the woods. Thanks for the info on this thread.

Just checked his ad and it says “not available”. Then why have the ad?

I saw him once pre covid traveling through. The pics are not recent and the experience was mixed. PM me for details.
