Hey_Jay

Indeed, and Lou Ferrigno is the father!

Ditto! I couldn’t have said it better

I'm all for people running their business any way they choose....but when a "legitimate" massage therapist
uses pictures of themselves shirtless and flexing in their ads....it seems like false advertising.
 
Imagine if your dentist advertised that way.....lol.

I tip for the same reasons I tip anywhere else. If the massage is good. I leave a tip. Of course there were a few times I got more then I bargained for and my masseur just took the tip
out of my ass! (sorry everybody I couldn't resist).

I don't usually tip masseurs on incalls or outcalls, but PLEASE remember that the boys at spas get only a fraction of our hourly fee of about $60, so a tip is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY -- IN CASH! On a $60 massage, I routinely tip $40-$60, and I don't consider that overly generous, merely appropriate.

Prices have become so high that for me a tip is an expression of superior service and appreciation of the work. Since I live in a place where there aren’t many regular choices, the tip is also for those “travelers” who also do a great job but who also have travel expenses especially if I want to say, I hope you will think about returning to our city.

Totally agree Sir!

Yes. I pay cash and set aside the advertised rate/fee in my wallet. I'll augment that with additional twenties and/or tens depending on the quality of the massage and the overall experience.

I tip in a spa but not a private masseur setting unless they go well beyond the expected.

I do tip my regular masseur, I think, pretty generously. Otherwise if it is a masseur I have never met, I would tip depending on how good I thought the massage/service was.

Ok, so let me share my story. So I’ve been seeing this masseur for a while now. I know he’s only therapeutic as he stated that in his ad. He’s skills are phenomenal, great massage always and rates are good too! I would always opt for the 90 mins coz his massage is that good! Towards the end of the massage he would let me finish myself. I tried to reach him but he would always put my hands away I still do until now lol...he has a way of saying no but somehow I don’t feel rejected. One time, there was this one session wherein I reached my hand out and he let me feel his shorts. Definitely there’s something growing in there that gets harder and harder. While I was doing that I noticed he started working on my behind like he’d never done before. I began to moan and his finger goes deeper and deeper. For some reason I hold back and hold his hand as my way to tell him to stop. Then he flipped me over. He let me finish with my face right on his shorts with his full hard on but he didn’t take it off...looking back if I didn’t hold back it could’ve been a different story. I still see him till now but nothing close to that one moment...sigh! I know there’s a chemistry something you can’t explain but it’s a feeling when you’re in that moment. Just like what the peeps are saying here, go for it! You got nothing to lose.

Welcome to the forum. Try the search box up towards the upper right corner here, Los Angeles masseurs have dozens of postings about them answering your question.

I tried him few months back. Overall, don’t waste your time. I think I was able to seal the deal that he’ll be nude/erotic at his regular rate. Massage was terrible and I hate when just ate and you can smell all the ingredients when he talks. Some touching here and there but I was already disappointed to begin with so I just wanted it to be over. So might as well text your cute friend, tell him you’re going to treat him st Fogo De Chao - that’ll make your money’s worth

I was afraid the massage wouldn't be good since I didn't find anything about him actually studying or being trained in massage beyond the ad which seemed weird for a guy claiming to have done massage for quite a few years. Thank you for sharing your experience.
