Whaaaaa? ?

The spa promotors have take over this thread!

Ha. Like at a bar when the bartender gives a whole lot of free drinks...you don't necessarily want to tip big on the credit card receipt as that attracts the attention of management. Those tips are in cash on the side, outside the purview of the owner.

Anyone who would actually NEED "gas money" to get to you is probably not someone you want visiting your home, anyway. The world is full of scammers and thieves. And they believe folks hiring for these types of services are very unlikely to report being scammed. Bringing unvetted strangers into your home for any kind of transaction is very risky business. You are probably lucky when they just take your deposit and never show up.

Bumping this up. All looks good, except his website pricing has no discernible logic: $165 - 1HR, $185- 90 Min. $320 - 2HR.....

Yeah. There are several regular posters in this thread that attempt to either promote their own spa or disparage the competition. It's generally transparent as google translations of not easily translatable ideas that turn into jumbles of random and sometimes contradictory thoughts. This one is particular mound of gibberish! They can be entertaining sometimes.

A little under arm aroma...yummmm. ? Down lower, below the waist,.....no, no, no, no, no!

One would hope you didn't phrase your request anything like that. Jeez. I've always found Alex fun and adorable. The massage is fine, nothing to write home about, but the price point is more than fair and he is, as I said, fun. But then I've never demanded next day communication as part of the deal! I hope he returns to NYC soon.

It's spa self promotion gibberish on crack.

If you charge $150+ and/ or have suggestive pictures, expect certain questions and answer accordingly. If you charge <=$120 and don't have suggestive photos, then just ignore certain questions if you wish. Simple as that.... The OP's suggestions are not unreasonable. Probably good advice for masseurs not overtly advertising sexual encounters (i.e. $150+ and/ or suggestive photos).

I saw him in London a couple of years ago. He is very good at what he does: erotic massage, nude, MT, HE. But I understand his rates have increased considerably since then. If the price he quotes suits you, it is a very good experience.

If a spa masseur engaged in so called extras at a place where it is not permitted it is likely because the masseur had a particular attraction to that client and was perhaps in a momentary mood. No one can assume that attraction transfers to subsequent clients.

He is terrible. Not "strictly therapeutic", for what it is worth. But just awful. Awful. Awful. Avoid.

I guess if you are simply don't care about anything at all in this world this is the appropriate mindset.

Don't regret but would never repeat. In other words, if you need something now that is not overly expensive...it's fine.

Yes, the computer likely will be recycled and/or properly disposed. But, for the record, the plastic bottle will almost certainly not. Unlike aluminum or glass or cardboard, there is close to zero demand for such low grade post consumer plastic waste. It costs far more to transform it than to just buy it new so the recycling just doesn't happen on a broad scale. The recycling con is a marketing strategy by the bottled water companies to make their product more accepted and to undermine needed regulation. But, like most marketing, it's absolutely false. At best the bottle going into a landfill for 400 years. At worst it's going into the sea to create huge ecological problems. And that's after you have willingly consumed petroleum byproducts through micro plastics in your plastic bottle! (100% of water tested from plastic bottles contains...micro plastics...duh). #rejectplastic

Keeps out the riff raff.

Handing out plastic bottles of water is a sure way to make me never, ever return. It displays a cluelessness that is in this day and age breathtaking. A nice glass of cold, filtered tap water is the way to go. The world cannot absorb this toxic (it is highly toxic), plastic trash anymore. #plastickills

1. Rates are enticingly low for the described services. 2. The described services probably wouldn't be publicly described by a real business. 3. Unless I totally missed something the site makes no mention of service location. 4. They want an upfront credit card payment. This is either a total scam or they are trying really hard to make it seem like one.

I saw Sean about a year ago in SF and liked the experience. I would certainly repeat only next visit.

Why would you bother to do this? There are plenty of masseurs in NYC and most have their own space. Or they can come to you. This seems weird. I assume you ask because he wants you to pay upfront for the room cost. If so: a.) Worst case scenario: You send money and never hear from this person again. b.) Best case scenario: You spend extra cash that you wouldn't need to spend with 99% of the other guys. BIG red flag. Never heard this suggestion before, ever.

"SPEELING ERROR". I suppose you are trying to be funny. Anyway, that this thread exists indicates we all have way too much time on our hands! Help.

I contacted him the last time he was in NYC and after a very long delay finally replied asking for 1. a photo (No!), 2. a paragraph outlining what attracted me to his ad (No!) and he suggested we meet for the appointment in a park (Huh!?). Sometimes it just isn't worth it.

He barely speaks a word of English, which is odd if he is actually Puerto Rican and under 40. He looks like his photos and has a tight body. But that's it. Overall I would say the experience is not compelling, especially at $160.

It's more likely a signal of delusion.
