Yes.
 
But patience, trust and flexibility in scheduling is important.
 
If you’re a regular, and developed a level of trust, your masseur might open to massage exchange. Maybe even teach you some techniques.
 
But keep it professional. Discuss parameters. You should still expect to pay for his time. After all he might have turned down other appointments to schedule with you. However, the extra time you spend working on him might be negotiable at a favorable rate. A 1.5hr session works well (about 50-60min for you and then 30-40min for him). It can help if you’re willing to be very flexible with your schedule.
 
Also, in Vegas it’s not uncommon to see massage exchange ads on Craigslist. Sometimes also posted under Strictly Platonic > M4M. Be suspicious. Following due diligence is imperative.

Hey! Have any of you developed relationships with any masseurs who offer massage exchanges: they massage you and then you return the favor? The reason I'm asking is that I am somewhat of an amateur masseur having picked up lots of techniques through the years and I've been told I'm quite good (I know, hasn't everybody been told this? Lol) ....but... I would like more practice to try out my skills. I have a table and I enjoy both giving and receiving, connecting through touch with others, healing, etc. I suppose the logical thing to do is ask but I don't want to be weird about it or seem like I'm taking advantage. I'm not doing this for the money but for the experience and the skill. Also I'm assuming that if the masseur was open to this I would still pay them for their time.
 
I also realize there are guys out there who have no skills at all (we have all had a few of those) and still advertise for money and get it! I think this site does a good job at helping to identify skill levels. Also I realize that there are various state regulations about what constitutes massage hence advertising as "body rubs" etc.
 
Any thoughts you have are appreciated.
 
Thanks!

I live in Miami seen both gay porn stars and a few escorts I've seen online in real time - it's almost a kind of star struck experience. Had the "honor" and I mean honor to meet and speak to mega gay porn star, Francois Sagat. This man takes gorgeous to honor level plus a very sexy French accent!

We look forward to your review: https://www.daddysreviews.com/submit

I also think he had a different name at one point in the past and if so, there has been discussion on this site about him. If it is the same person I saw him a while back when he came through my city and it was "ok."

The Talented Mr. Ripley

A Single Man (2010). With terrific acting from Colin Firth - and beautiful Nicholas Hoult as every gay man's dream college groupie. Based on a novel by Christopher Isherwood it portrays one day (November 30, 1962) in the life of a college professor (George) who has recently lost his longtime partner and is contemplating suicide. And whenever I'm having one of those crappy days I remind myself of what George tells himself on November 30, 1962: "Just get through the goddamn day."

Maurice based on the novel by E.M. Forster. Great movie.

On the flip side, I wonder if there is a 'clients to avoid' website or forum out there. A place where escorts discuss clients that are unhygienic, obnoxious, scammers, violent or undesirable in any other way ...

Pics are accurate. Actually looks better than his pics in my opinion.

Yes, Max is a great guy and an excellent choice.

saw him maybe 6 years ago in DC and had exact same fairly negative impression of him.

I had a similar experience. I actually enjoyed the massage but his cold and distant attitude was really a turn off.

Attitude definitely off putting. Technique was lacking. He is hung, but he's much older than his photos. I was uncomfortable and waiting for the massage to end. Hard pass.

Yes, I wound up booking an appt while he was in NYC. Handsome, tall, big dick.... but honestly, I wouldn't repeat. It felt like I was one of many clients he was juggling that day. AND most of all, his attitude was off-putting. Not worth it for me.

I have seen Dr. Eric before in a swing through Texas (may be from here also). Lomi lomi is his speciality. Felt great. The price was not that high when I saw him and was only sensual in nature. He was open to more....
 
Very attractive (and he knows it), well endowed, fairly friendly. A little off-putting at times (for example, the appointment went over and he acted like that was my fault; I have no idea of time when I'm laying nude on your table).
 
But I would hire him again because the technique was good, he was nice to look at and it all felt good (probably not $ 180 good).

He is great

I get what u mean

During a recent trip to London, I had scheduled a massage for my last afternoon there with an excellent masseur I had visited on a prior trip. Unfortunately, he emailed me early that morning to let me know that he had a bad cold and would not be able to follow through. After looking at other ads and this forum, I contacted Stelly. He came through. He is centrally located near the Lancaster Gate tube station. As it turned out, I was staying very close by, and he offered to meet me in front of my hotel and walk me to his flat on his way from the gym. To repeat what @chgobrt said, he is very friendly, has an incredibly hot body, and gives a really good massage.

Luke has recently posted some new photos. This man is outstanding - if you like Bradley Cooper's looks, you'll like Luke. Takes good care of himself, very intelligent with experience in the medical field. Great conversationalist, musician, good sense of humor, just like hanging out with a college bud from years ago. Location in quiet neighborhood, easy to find, just a sweetheart of a guy.

Totally agree with Beethoven. Recommendations on this site are the most "reliable" one can find and the best go-to place for initial research on a masseur you would like potentially to hire.

Sorry, guys. Couldn't make it work with Phillip this trip. Only had time for a session with Eli, who is my go-to when I am in NYC.
Phillip could only travel to me, which wasn't convenient for my living arrangements this time 'round....
 
C'est la vie.
 
HNY 2017!

Many Russian masseurs are hot/athletic, straight, and pretty smart dudes who like the money they can make this way. Being smart and strong allows them to become very good masseurs pretty quickly. Being hot is a great hook in the lucrative m4m market, especially if one is comfortable being naked, which most (not all!) of these guys are. Many will even allow the client to touch them but a big no-no is them touching a dude in certain areas, I guess this crosses their line. Some will even invite the client to "finish himself" in the end, which I find demeaning and offensive, but to them this is the definition of the "sensual" massage, as more would turn it into "erotic" I guess.
 
I actually don't want a HE from a dude who doesn't really want to do it or if it turns out I am not into him. That's why I never negotiate anything sensual upfront, I prefer to leave that to the chemistry and whatever happens - happens. But the massage itself is really important to me, and what typically frustrates me about these guys is their reluctance to deal with my glutes and hip flexors, which are really important to me. I guess they are too nervous about going there, because it might send a "wrong message" about what to expect later. Over time, I have learned to expect this and hence avoid Russians and Eastern Europeans who charge $100 an hour.
 
At $150-$160, which typically takes me to over $200 for 90 minutes, you get three kinds. One is very playful and sensual but lack in massage skills. The second are truly competent masseurs who actually like and appreciate the male body and are open to some play in the end. And the third are just frauds, which is one of the reasons this forum is so valuable!

Yes, this forum has saved me more than once from what would surely have been terrible (and expensive) experiences. I always consult here before trying someone new.

Games like that will kill his business and reputation in a quick second.
