Capitano

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.

I say post it while avoiding to War & Peace it. A short (5-8 lines) summary is best, how was the massage, how sensual was it in broad terms, and maybe if you suspect that more is available. That's it.

Yes, great guy. Not sure he’s the same guy as the pics but he’s equally as hot regardless. Expensive

The recent influx of escorts trying to charge escort rates for massage could be a sign of economic recession. Times getting tough?
In my book, they'd better be competent masseurs, reasonably hot, friendly, and fine with getting naked with me and being lightly touched if I am going to pay $160 or max $180 per hour or $240-$260 for 90 minutes. I have no interest in paying $300 per hour to someone who has no skills, typically expects to be admired, and likely to cut corners trying to be done with me ASAP just because they are hot and muscled up. In fact, it's demeaning and a huge turnoff. My 2c, the reason I noticed him is that he just "moved" to Orlando to milk this market for its worth while he can.

I treat it the same as Yelp reviews for a restaurant or a car mechanic or whatever else. No one review is gospel, you have to take an average of many reviews together. Look for things multiple different review all or mostly separately say. If a business has 50 reviews, and 1 person says "service was terrible!", i would assume that customer probably is a Karen and was the troublemaker or that the waiter was probably just having an off day. If the business has 50 reviews and 25 of those reviews all say some semblance of "the food is good but the wait staff could use some improvement", that's a pattern and something that's likely a fairly consistent experience at that business.

I tend to read reviews to find repeated patterns. Providers are people too and have off days and sometimes don't connect with clients. If someone has the same (what I would consider to be, because everyone is different) negative feedback from many experiences then I'd probably look elsewhere. 

Perhaps search the forum for any preexisting topics devoted to the providers you have feedback on and add your comments there.

Definitely! But post the good experiences you've had as well

The more info we have, the better decisions can be made.

by all means, post! Post the good ones too! (Especially post the good ones!) TIA

I'm not in LA right now, but yes, everyone is tired of the incessant "bumps" and "what do you think of 'X'?" I've always appreciated how this site was set up to review people, but some sideliners just ask, ask, ask, and never tell anything.

For me, those reviews are exactly why I thought we were all here.  Save each other from scams and mediocrity, but also pointing out the unsung gems.
Please post it, or send it.  I'd definitely read it.  Worst case, people skip it.

I just had a fun massage with Massagtherlx. He has a great build. Massage itself was ok but he was generous with his body and the extras.

I met him in Seattle. He's a great guy.
Good massage, has good technique, a straight-man body, hairy, sexy face, beard, and speaks good English. He exceeded my expectations.

I was tempted but decided nah. Yeah, he is hot and I am sure does a good job, but I can get spa quality massage for $120, and several locals do sensual for $150-$180. Yeah, I'll tip generously, but he is pushing his rate into escort territory here. I don't like the feeling of being extracted the last $ that I am willing to pay. At that point, I become indifferent between getting and not getting a massage.

Drewintampa - Male Masseur, Gay massage in Tampa, FL | RentMasseur
RENTMASSEUR.COM Gay Masseur drewintampa in Tampa, FL offering a wide range of massages ⭐ experienced in therapeutic, sensual, swedish, hotStone, deepTissue. Drew is my personal favorite.  Muscular and sexy, very nice guy, technique was solid and while ymmv, the “extras” were not disappointing at all!

He’s coming back to Dallas again. Thanks for the save! 

And I thought the Murray Hill Gang was bad...

Good ones that offer value typically have busy schedules. If someone is soliciting customers that tells you everything IMHO. Especially if they are travelers, a reliable sign that local markets figure them out and then they have to move on to scam elsewhere.

So, just got back from seeing Alex. Posted the same response to another thread that was started today.
 
Overall, it was fine, maybe a 6/10. Very Handsome in person with a cute accent (He’s from Colombia) but the massage didn’t last the entire hour, lasted maybe 40 min, which is a big no-no in my book, no matter how good looking one is. Also, he’s massaging at his friend’s place and he was in the other room (very good looking I might add. Was hoping he came out and joined in, haha). But usually, not too keen on folks being in the other room and hearing the tv and Phone chiming.
 
The massage was pretty descent, especially when he got to my back and neck. Were some sensual elements and the ending did provide a HE but I think I was so distracted by the fact that I knew we hadn’t made it to an hour that I didn’t enjoy it as much as I wanted.
 
Would I go back, probably not. Especially at the price point $150! I usually never go that high for 60 (40) min and this just reconfirmed it for me.

I saw him a couple of weeks ago—handsome in person, did a great job on the therapeutic part, HE included. Not sure if he’ll go further than but probably a YMMV situation. Would go back again bc he’s probably the reason my back finally started to feel better

Saw him once last year when he was in my area. Very average and un-memorable.

Yes.  He gives one of the best massages I’ve ever had. Very caring. No rush.  He escorts also and has a great body, face, and dick. I will see him as often as I can.  I cannot recommend enough.
