Kinda standard massage, not memorable... very nice guy though. But didn't allow MT. The massage itself was not sensual so I was kinda surprised when the HE part came around... felt mechanical. Must be a YMMV vibe.

Franco (WeHo) Location is great! Therapeutic, but very liberal with draping and doesn't neglect the glutes

Straight 😫

They don’t pop up until you start the scheduling page, then you see a list of names and photos.

Bumping…

Highly recommend Joe!

My assumption, when I see a theragun, is that the provider DOESN'T know how to massage, and is relying on an appliance to do the work.
 

I had an MT recently pull one out and while it felt great, I asked him if we could put it away and stick with regular Swedish massage. 
if it’s just for a minute or two it’s fine - but whether it’s a legit MT or a rentmasseur type MT, I’m hiring a massage guy - not a toy I could buy on Amazon. Touch is the point.

I've looked at his ad for years because he has a great vibe about him. Love a guy that knows how to smile!  Can anyone comment on the extent of extras, by PM?  And if he's hung?
Sam

During the extras, he asked me “is there something else you want to do?”
lol 

YMMV but the extras are terrific

I know this place is a favorite of many in LA, but curious to know if any spa businesses like this have a Russian/Eastern European staff that caters to a male clientele?

Yeah, Century for play, Wi for legit and eye candy (but rarely play).

I saw him years ago, didn’t repeat. It was standard HE by hand. 

There are a few…

This is how it was a few years ago, pre-COVID. I went through it with two masseurs on that site: posting a review and it went live and then an hour later was gone. So while it sounds like things might have changed now, it did use to be like this. But this was also the time before MF tried to go legit, like when they started forbidding masseurs to post shirtless photos.   Sounds like it’s even worse now tho.

On masseurfinder you can leave a review - but if it’s negative the provider is allowed to take it down. I emailed MF about this once and their reply was “the masseurs are our advertising clients, so if something negatively Impacts their ability to continue advertising on our site they are allowed to remove it.”   The masseurs’ interests are their interests. Which is why you never see negative reviews on MF. Provider gets a notification as soon as a review goes up and if it’s bad they just click “delete.”

60 mins is actually 25 mins. Checked-out, phones it in, mechanical uninterested HE. Avoid.
