  1. I'm not a big fan of the progress pride flag. This flag takes the rainbow pride flag and adds a chevron with black and brown reflecting queer people of color, black additionally representing people with HIV/AIDS, and the colors from the trans flag (baby blue, pink, white). The colors of the rainbow pride flag do not reflect specific identities. They represented concepts such as life, healing, sunlight, and nature. When you add specific identities to the flag, you exclude other identities, which is why we have seen additions to the progress pride flag (including yellow with a purple circle for intersex people).

    There are plenty of flags that represent specific queer identities, but it seems like the progress pride flag is becoming or has become the default. I see it more and more in advertising,  for example, during pride month. I, however, recognize that there are people who have felt excluded in queer spaces/discussions and that the progress pride flag might resonate with them. I'm a gay, Black man, and I've never been a fan of adding a black/brown stripe to symbols to reflect people of color/diversity (e.g., Philadelphia pride flag), but I only speak for myself. It seems like a symbol might become so crowded and messy in its attempts to represent a diversity of people that it ends up not resonating with the people it was meant to represent.

    Fantasy land, money no object I would definitely be working my way through this list:

    Alan Ritchson (Reacher series 2 big 😍

    Eric Janicki

    Henry Cavill

    Chase Carlson

    Joan Pradells

    Regan Grimes

    Zeb Atlas

     

    When Matthew Bishop was escorting he came to London he quoted £400 an hour, 2 hour minimum.  I bottled, just couldn't justify the cost in reality.  But in fantasy land.........

    This is a hot list. 

  3. I saw Daniel last summer for an outcall. He performed the massage on my bed. The massage was fine, and I had a good time.

    I saw Alec over a year ago. He gave a solid, therapeutic massage. 

    I saw Marcus within the past 6 months. I think he might be reasonably skilled, but I had difficulty relaxing and enjoying the massage because he talked at me the entire time. He was hot, however (my massage was therapeutic only).

    I was shocked to discover that my favorite porn star to fit this category, Mike Rios, aka Bodybuilder Milk, passed away last year. His most famous scene partner was Joey Jordan. I don't remember Mike Rios being available to meet, but Joey used to be. 

    Wow, Mike Rios was the first escort I hired ... many years ago before the milk stuff. I didn't know he died. RIP

  5. I've had a couple of 4-hand massages with Ian and his partner, most recently last summer. I agree with the positive comments above. I will say, however, that Ian appeared significantly more skilled than his partner so I felt like my upper body was massaged more thoroughly than my lower body. The partner also left for extended periods of time. Given the overall experience and reasonable rate, however, I would repeat.

    Thanks for the info -- I do plan on an incall. He didn't follow up and provide an explanation?

    He didn't show up at the designated time and did not respond to my follow-up call and text.

  7. I recently saw Lionw while he was visiting Dallas. He came to my place and performed the massage on a bed. The massage itself was okay. He used a massage gun at times, which I didn't mind. If you find him attractive and are more interested in a sensual/erotic experience than a strong massage, I would recommend him. He was also friendly and engaged. He doesn't speak much English, which made in-person communication difficult. His texting to schedule the appointment, however, was fine. 

  8. I don't know what you're looking for in a masseur, but here are some guys that I've seen for outcalls who gave solid, enjoyable massages. There are other masseurs I like in Dallas, but I haven't done outcalls with them. All of these guys brought a table.

  9. I recently got a massage from Rommel. He is the first masseur I hired from massagefinder (as opposed to masseurfinder). I thought the massage was great, and he's a friendly, sexy guy with a nice, muscular body. I got a combination of a massage and body scrub (scrub was integrated into the massage). It was nice, but I think I'll just do the massage next time, as I found the massage parts to be most enjoyable. 

  10. I rarely get massages in spas. When I have, however, they have been strictly therapeutic. Similarly to what was previously mentioned, the vast majority of independent masseurs I have hired didn't drape. Some offered, and I declined. I don't remember the last time I was draped. The majority of these masseurs also provided a sensual/erotic experience without me asking. I've hired guys with masseurfinder ads that focused on their training and professionalism and included pics of them in scrubs who I assumed would be strictly therapeutic but ended up being quite interactive. I've also hired guys who had ads that I believed hinted at extras (e.g., showing off body in pics, checking "sensual" on rentmasseur) but provided none.  I just go with the flow and, at a minimum, hope for a good massage.

    Most M4M masseurs know that many, if not most, of their male clients would welcome an HE. If the masseur offers no evidence that extras are an option, I tend to not try to test his boundaries. I recognize, however, that I might have missed some opportunities with this approach. 

  11. I've seen Marcus. The massage itself was reasonable, maybe better, but it was difficult for me to relax and appreciate the touch because he was talking so much. He was hot, and the massage was strictly therapeutic (no MT, HE, etc). I could see myself potentially repeating if he talked less. Please note that I didn't communicate this to him. For all I know, he might have politely accommodated.

    I’m with you here. I would honestly rather not know. If I am doing my job well, I don’t need the information. If anything, it’s a distraction.

    Part of what the client is paying for is for me to be something and someone to him that he doesn’t have to bother attracting on his own. The client is paying for the experience of being cared for, listened to, and serviced in the way he wants, without having to appeal to whatever private preferences I have.

    It’s like clients create more work for themselves by offering to pay and place pressure on themselves to “ensure” they appeal to me by over sharing. A good guy won’t let on that you’re not his cup of tea. His job is to make it seem as though you are. You will never know, and it’s better that you don’t.

    The longer I work in this industry, the broader my scope of personal preferences become. There’s something beautiful in everyone.

    For massage appointments, the weight limit of my massage table is relevant and finite, but I rarely have to turn someone away. My table holds 500+ lbs. Maybe I am not climbing on the table with a 400 pounder, but the client can certainly fit, no problem. Even when they exceed the limit, I make it work on another surface. Many of you already know I hate giving massages on a surface other than a pro table, but for clients who can’t fit, I am extra accommodating.

    Generally, clients are pretty honest when they describe themselves, if they do at all.

    That's awesome. I'm mostly concerned about letting the provider know that I'm Black. That way he can decide whether or not he is willing and able to perform, despite any preferences he might have. I can have lackluster experiences for free ... hahaha. If the provider doesn't want to work with Black guys, I don't want to hire him either. Please note that I'm not trying to start a discussion about whether or not such preferences are racist. I'm just trying to approach hiring in a way that sets me up for success. Some providers don't possess the willingness and skills to successfully engage with certain client presentations. I expect the provider to have enough insight to decline seeing me if he believes we're not a match.
