Capitano

Man, is he hot! Is he Russian? He reminds me of another athletic dude who happens to be Russian but who is disappointing in the sensual and MT part. This one could be a winner, I'll be sure to try next time I am in NYC, thanks to all who have contributed above!

All these threads inevitably turn into general discussions of the masseurs that are referenced. When I start a thread, I simply cannot expect everyone to stick to my original question. If someone has something to say that doesn't answer my question directly, what are they supposed to do, start a new thread? That would be hugely sub-optimal because when I do a search on a masseur, I LIKE to find a single thread where all kinds of views are presented. If things I don't care for are included, so be it. Those are easy to skip, but sometimes even unrelated stuff can be fun to read. I suspect this is the preference of most others here.

I commented about his pricing on another thread, it looks like he's had problems making it consistent and sensible with respect to his rates for 60 vs 90 minutes. He has finally cracked it but at a level that's too high in my book. My upper limit is $160 for one hour of naked massage with mutual touching and $240 for 90 minutes. I could afford more but this is a matter of principle. I might go for $180/$260 if someone is insanely hot, but that's about it.

I think I vaguely remember this profile, but it was probably under another (version of the) name. He just resurfaced in Tampa, so let's compare notes and experiences 😉 I do know, though, that name changes are usually a red flag 😞 https://rentmasseur.com/Vitalie

Now a new number on masseurfinder. Avoid. https://www.masseurfinder.com/massage-therapists/44093/

Money is good. Plus many straight guys are convinced that they are gay men's ultimate dream, so they rationalize it. There could be for some but, like others have said, it's a total turnoff for me when I sense that the masseur is doing something they are uncomfortable with.

So what could be the point of paying money to rentmasseur for the ad? I find this really puzzling, it feels like a scam, but I am not sure how it works. In any case, NEVER agree to pay a deposit no matter how small it is.

This one continues to puzzle me! Home in Utah, GPS in Vermont, yet he is available right now. Where? His travel schedule doesn't make sense even from the prospecting standpoint. How big and where the hell are Bergen and Breckenridge? But there has to be a reason why this ad is up, what's the business model?

Do we have any experiences with this masseur, now in St. Pete, the ad is recent, but it could be a name change? The price seems pretty low, which worries me LOL, it's a strange world... https://rentmasseur.com/TampaBayRubDown

Yikes, sorry to hear that, I thought this was a veiled answer to that other question 🙂

Bingo! Not all posts have to be linear, I count on this community to be witty and get it 😉

OK, it's mid-December, time to pick that insanely hot masseur you've seen this year, the one you'd like to fuck, whether you did it or not. I am not looking for guys about which you fantasize based on pics, these can be fake or old, or the dude can be a turnoff in person. I am not looking for great masseurs or great massage experiences either, just that special uber-sexy masseur that got you horny and wanting more. I've found this one to be one of my best experiences this year, it was a very good massage with very nice sensual elements. In addition, and this is the most important thing on this thread, he happens to be insanely hot in my book. He looks much better in person and, no, we didn't go there, but that could be a nice wish, or goal, for 2023 🙂 https://rentmasseur.com/CatchAndRelease PS I may share a runner-up or two if the discussion becomes heated 😉

I always ask whether the masseur is comfortable with being naked and lightly touched, and he said sure. The experience was anything but, he even turned off the lights when I turned around, before that I never care anyway. Lame, lame, lame. Plus careful positioning not to be touched. And I am not a grabby guy, and actually don't want things to get too hot, just to be relaxed and on an even playing field. I couldn't wait to be done. He should just offer strictly therapeutic at $100-120 max.

He is on the move again. Competent therapeutic masseur but that's it, any promised sensual elements and especially nudity are beyond lame. I saw him in Chicago and then I tried a couple of years later in Indy, it only got worse 😞 I suggest avoiding, definitely not worth the money & time. https://www.masseurfinder.com/massage-therapists/38430/

I understand the idea of prospecting, but this is becoming ridiculous. Why would anyone living in, say, Scranton or Clearwater, contact this masseur given the obvious prospecting intentions and low probability that the masseur will actually show up. Moreover, even if someone is interested, what if they are not available on those two (randomly selected and meaningless) days, why would they get in touch? On a side note, if I see a very busy travel schedule from one end of the continent to another, I am reluctant to book given all the talk about various viruses going around. One more thing masseurs should consider before posting obviously ridiculous travel schedules.

I feel so sorry for the people who hire masseurs but don't know about this site. What an awful experience!

Wow, looks like it's gone?!

I think it's a double-edged sword to talk about yourself in the initial message. Some, typically newer and gay, masseurs that don't fully get the nature of their business may want to pick and choose who is eligible for the sensual or erotic version of their massage. Here it should be a plus to be a confident & good looking client. More experienced masseurs, often hot ones that specifically advertise as such, may suspect that you are angling for additional mileage or a discount and are unlikely to like it. Moreover, their business model and self-image may be based on being admired by clearly less hot clients, so encounters with good looking guys are potentially disastrous reality checks. My 2c.

LOL, you too!

Maybe he has pegged his rate to the cost of electricity in Europe?

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings, I welcome them even though I didn't ask for them, I guess that's the nature of having an open FORUM 🙂 🙂 🙂 Tattoos are a choice and not an immutable characteristic. Besides being about the aesthetics, my comment can also be seen as a PSA, just ask any dermatologist. When a dangerous and harmful practice spreads, it is actually important for the society to fight back on different fronts. Some will get that and others should just learn to skip, ignore, or take on in meaningful ways comments they don't like. What makes this forum both fun and useful from my point of view is that I get to read all kinds of thoughts and comments about different masseurs, yes, including taste and various personal preferences. If we ever get to a "topic police" that will enforce strict boundaries on what can and cannot be said, I am out of here. Best!

I can tolerate a tasteful tattoo of limited size, but once they start covering their entire bodies in wallpaper designs I draw the line. Thankfully, he seems to have run out of wallpaper, but I fear more is coming as soon as he can afford it. I can't imagine hiring someone who did this to his otherwise great-looking body.

Seriously, like what were they thinking? Annoying, disappointing, or making your potential customer wonder wtf is never a good way to do business.

Sorry, but this level of money extraction by a straight dude who stays in his boxers is a new level of obnoxious in my book. Power to him if he can find enough clients, but there is no way I am going to book. Maybe there has be a change in the boxers policy? I think the rates are still high regardless. Oh, well...

Was there nudity and touching involved?
