Typical

I've met him in person. He identifies as straight and I have no reason to question that. He's nice looking, but, as in most cases, his modeling photos are FAR better than daily reality: With the right make-up, lighting, hair stylist and 3 hours of preparation, I could be the fucking GQ centerfold next month!
 
I haven't seen him without clothes so can't comment on the body in detail. He looks in shape.
 
He is real and is doing massage work.
 
Someone will have to try it out I suppose. It can't turn out that bad. He's real and doesn't seem remotely dangerous.

I must have too much time on my hands today.
 
So...
 
People get photos of masseurs because they are paying them, not the other way around. That is not a fair comparison MscleLovr.
 
$80 is seemingly cheap, yes. But a big part of the discount is because he is on 145th Street (he charges more for his East Village appointments and doesn't do outcalls). I know there are a couple of well regarded therapists in that neighborhood (including Brad), but in general it takes great enticement to get folks, in any kind of meaningful numbers, up that far. For most people it is a serious commitment of time - maybe an extra hour of total travel roundtrip from midtown. That's a really big deal. I have hired a guy that I like from that distance but only as an outcall. He doesn't charge much more to come downtown because he recognizes (and confirmed to me) that almost no one will make that trek. Honestly, most days I wouldn't travel that far even if the services were free. (I prefer to pay more $ to masseurs that are within 15 minutes walking distance of my apartment or office, MscleLovr:).)
 
In any case, I might see this guy at his EV location and see what it's all about. He actually sounds from massagelover like a perfectly nice guy.

This is the problem. His ad says he may refuse service to anyone at his discretion. While I would agree that a massage therapist has every right to turn away unhygienic, rude, inebriated, etc., patrons, that statement indicates a whole lot more subjectivity. (The Colorado baker comes to mind.) And he wants a photo up front.
 
Sounds like he wants to get paid to rub down guys he finds attractive.
 
Me, too!!! lol
 
I have no doubt he is a nice guy and gives a good massage. But I just don't think an ad directed at the general public is the way to offer his seemingly selective service.

Agree with the above.
 
Bizarre is the best word to describe this "experience".
 
I wouldn't return if he paid ME.

Fantastic massage. Every single time.
 
As has been discussed multiple times in the forum, Eli has some detractors. I won't speak for them or try to analyze their experiences - to each his own - but in my book he is perhaps the best massage therapist in NYC. It can be a bit strong at times so don't be shy in asking him to take it easy if real deep tissue is not your thing.
 
The initial finger caress...OMG.

This is an important point. In my English minor days back in college I learned that intonation and facial expressions can convey up to 90% of the intended message. Obviously those communication components are largely lost in written only form. Often playful banter (in one's head) ends up as snark or worse in written forums like these.
 
Who knows how much heartache is caused by misinterpreted typed message.
 
Perhaps Trump's twitter feed is actually quite sensitive, enlightened and witty!

Dead on, RNJJ663!
 
People behave anonymously in ways they NEVER could or would in person. And maybe sometimes I'm a little guilty, too.
 
Social media is generally a nightmare. I don't participate in FB, twitter, or whatever else time wasting nonsense that might exist. But from what I read about those sludge pits, this site sounds downright congenial.

Maybe you should call a clinic. This is not a medical forum.

I think when you go looking for certain things, you just might find them. Thankfully!
 
Nothing wrong with the "Me, too" movement per se, but the pendulum might be swinging just a little bit too far.
 
If you don't want to be handled in a certain way, then don't go looking where such handling happens. You aren't going to a job interview or audition for goodness sake.

Likely they are based outside the U.S., like rentmassuer. Sites operating inside the United States are rightly concerned about FOSTA-SESTA related prosecution.
 
As has been stated numerous times, the sites themselves have no interest in censorship. But your Justice Department certainly does.

I get a crick in my neck just looking at those first few photos.

Try Hush Manhattan.

Feedback makes sense. Have never seen him but reached out to him perhaps 3-4 times when his "Available Now" indicator was on. The usual response was something like: "I have time this weekend", or "How about next Thursday?".
 
For the record, the word 'now' has a very specific meaning in the English language: "At the present time or moment" is the precise definition.
 
The 'available now' indicator is a useful tool for both masseurs and clients - but only when it is used properly.

It's all about spur of the moment and anonymity. I totally understand it.
 
Not commenting on the sex slave accusations. We'll see what comes from that allegation as a separate matter. And who is to say Kraft had any idea at all about that side of the business even it it is true.
 
But going unnamed to a massage parlor can be a turn on and generally a more private option. (Obviously it backfired tremendously in this particular instance!!!)

Apparently there are still folks who send $5,000 to the very nice Nigerian lady who really, truly wants to send $10 million to their bank account if only she could get the processing/handing/insurance fee...and the bank account number!!!
 
I suppose we should make an effort to warn people about the multitude of scam artists if we can, right?
 
Money or iTunes cards up front = a scam.
 
Every. Single. Time.
