While maybe a little older and more hirsute than the guys in the group you listed, I would recommend alaughingman. https://app.rent.men/Alaughingman I saw him a couple of years ago before he began his tour of the Australia and Indonesia. He was a more muscular and with longer hair back then. He gave a great BFE, including passionate kissing and an excellent bottom. Plus he is very nice. I'd bet that he would be a good accommodating teacher for a newbie.

Seems to be Ukrainian. That big tat occupying so much real estate on that beautiful chest is a not to my taste. To each his own!

If so, the missing hair in his right eyebrow grew back.

https://rentmasseur.com/MuscMassageCub https://www.masseurfinder.com/massage-therapists/32932/ Name change on rentmasseur. I recall discussions from years ago about this guy. I think they were somewhat negative. Does anyone recall? Or have recent experience?

Also here. https://app.rent.men/GIO_ms I saw him in 2019 before COVID put a dent in my travels. I haven't been back to NYC since but when I do seeing Gio again is near the top of my list. I only wish he offered a full BFE.

Brutal. Pic #2 in his ad shows that he got a *lot* bigger. I might schedule some time with him if it weren't for all the poor comments here.

The rates of those two. What a joke. As I have written in other threads, the SD market is so sad, it's laughable.

https://rentmasseur.com/HoldenFlex Another former Sean Cody model pops up in SD. Also with presence on Twitter and IG, and Onlyfans account. And partnered with this guy: https://rentmasseur.com/SDMasseur At $120/hr, Holden is surprisingly inexpensive but methinks there would be an upsell. And with a reported age of 32 and saying that he has been giving and receiving massages for over 15 years*, he would have to have started young. *"Hey! I’m a massage therapist here in San Diego that has been giving and getting massages for over 15 years. I welcome and encourage clients of all types to reach out and schedule a session with me. The most important thing to me is that you feel comfortable and welcome during your experience. I am very open minded about the approaches required to meet my clients’ specific needs, and I’ve acquired the skills and techniques necessary to ensure that no client will ever leave a session with me unsatisfied. 

A session with me will be one to remember — I guarantee it!"

Looks TGTB. I did an image search on a couple of the pictures but nothing came up. He's hot.

That's just it, isn't it? His pictures on masseurfinder and rentmasseur show a man who I find very attractive (though some pics date back to the Obama administration). His rentmasseur ad says that he is a certified masseur. He's tall. Only a few tats. Smooth. Says he is vaccinated for both COVID and mpox. His ad ticks all my boxes and I might hire him if he were in my area. So, *thank you*, everybody for posting warnings about this guy.

Did you actually have a session with Ramon? Feel free to PM me with details. The pickings are so slim in SD.

Thanks SamMiller213. I've had some similar experiences in SD with masseurs giving weird vibes but they're no longer advertising. Does Tai use that sling in picture #9 rather than a massage table? Talk about giving an escorty vibe.

Do you mind sharing who your regulars are?

And I am usually disappointed with the services, especially for the cost vs. value. I'm much more satisfied with the offerings in San Francisco.

The rate of inflation in SD is 8%. But these guys seem above market for just therapeutic. Both straight. MrMagooUncut = $220/hr for therapeutic, $300 for sensual, and $350 for erotic. His reviews sound like they were self-writing by this travel "influencer". https://rentmasseur.com/MrMagooUncut KenfromSD = $250 of therapeutic, also offering "additional massage styles to meet the unique needs of each client." https://rentmasseur.com/KenfromSD

Something similar happened to me when I searched for another provider... The search function now has a drop down menu that appears in small font that I missed. It defaults to searching in "This Topic". I now have to manually select "Everywhere".

I second that. I saw him in Boston 7+ years ago. I remember my experience with him was *meh*. I remember that there was something off-putting with him in bed but I don't remember what it was specifically. I wouldn't repeat.

He caught my eye too. But, as others have written, the search function is your friend.

The profile pics look familiar but a search is negative. Anybody with experience with Sammoon? https://rentmasseur.com/Sammoon

A heads-up for those of us attracted to muscular Asians. The guy who will show up after booking with Asiantantric_UK is not the hot, tall, muscular, clean-cut guy in the ad. The guy who shows up is shorter, scruffier, less toned with C-grade massage skills and D-grade interactivity. YMMV if you're Asian because he told me he likes only other Asian guys for hooking up. https://rentmasseur.com/Asiantantric_UK He changes his profile name. There have been at least two threads on this guy before but I can't find them now. A couple of the RM reviews talk about the bait & switch profile pics.

Yes, Konstantin (the Ukrainian) has been around for a few years. I saw him years ago when he lived in SF (and had a full head of hair). It was a great session (muscle worship). He was a very nice, accommodating young man. I can't vouch for his massage skills. If he ever came back to SF I would see him again.

This guy is a bad penny, with name and picture changes. The latest ad shows one of the pictures from a series in a previous version of their ad (under a different name). There are other threads about this guy/group, none positive. The guy in the picture is not who shows up. I wish. The picture looks to be swiped from Chinese-language social media based on a reverse image search.

In short, kind of, yes. The monkeypox vaccine give what can be generally called sterilizing immunity. https://www.cdc.gov/poxvirus/monkeypox/clinicians/smallpox-vaccine.html But... https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2021/09/sterilizing-immunity-myth-covid-19-vaccines/620023/ To be extremely, extremely simplistic, a lot depends upon the virus, its site of infection/entry into the host, and the type of immune response elicited by the vaccine. Viruses are incredibly diverse, very cool life forms. For SARS-CoV-2, our current vaccines, while reducing symptoms of severity, don't elicit the type of immune response at the right virus' points of entry in our body, to prevent infection. And SARS-CoV-2 replicates like crazy once in the host. For monkeypox (and smallpox, and the unrelated viruses, measles, HPV etc.) the vaccines elicit immune responses that prevent infection, or slow it down sufficiently to halt it and to stop it from becoming symptomatic.

Here is, what I think is, a nuanced view of the monkeypox situation with opinions from several epidemiologists. The author of the piece won an award for her coverage of the COVID pandemic. https://www.statnews.com/2022/07/19/monkeypox-spread-many-experts-believe-the-virus-cant-be-contained/ For the TL;DR crowd, I would summarize it as: 1) there are steps on a path to containment 2) based on past and current behaviors - human and government - and the current situation, we are unlikely to execute the requisite steps 3) Therefore, monkeypox is likely to become endemic on a global basis, with a possibility to contain it in the US. I would be more optimistic on containment in the US if vaccine weren't in such short supply.
