Regé-Jean Page is going to star in Paramount's "The Saint" reboot, which makes it less likely he'll be cast as 007.

It sounds like my experience, which was 2 years ago, was similar to @curt gregory - strong, strictly therapeutic massage.

I agree with the suggestion that you might benefit from therapy. I don't know you, but it sounds like the sex stuff is a symptom of a larger issue (e.g., low self-worth). You further mentioned a history of suicide attempts, which is quite serious. Therapy would be a wonderful place for you to unpack your psychological dynamics while developing more adaptive ways of responding to emotions.

I saw him around 2.5 years ago. The massage was on a bed and short. I wouldn't repeat. Perhaps he has improved since then.

My most muscular meet-up was with Aaron Lazzaro. He had just completed a bodybuilding competition, so he was big and lean. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing, but he was a nice guy.

Yes, I enjoyed it. I actually went to two of his workshops - nude yoga directly followed by the nude touch workshop. We broke into groups of 4ish. One person lied down whereas the other 3 massaged him. We alternated recipients after a specified amount of time. Brandon initially provided some guidance, but there was limited instruction. He engaged with all the groups. Different groups had different energies, depending on a number of factors (e.g., whether the members knew each other, chemistry, etc.). I went alone. It seemed like everyone had a positive experience. I would go again.

I haven't engaged with any of the following since well before the pandemic, but you might find them helpful. California Mens' Gatherings CMG has large gatherings and smaller local events. I went to a massage event in San Diego. The host had massage tables, and we alternated massaging each other. Community of Men Enjoying Naturism I went to a touch playshop sponsored by CMG and CMEN. Although it wasn't massage, the workshop consisted of men engaging in various exercises concerning touching each other. Brandon Anthony Brandon Anthony hosts yoga and touch workshops in a number of locations, including SoCal. I went to a tantric touch workshop in Palm Springs.

I saw it and thought it was entertaining. It was also interesting to find the guys' ads and compare them to how they present in the doc.

I think that's Tex Davidson.

I've had two massages with them - most recently around a year ago. They work really well together and give a great massage.

I saw Carl a couple of times less than 3 years ago. The massage was excellent. Although there were sensual elements, there weren't extras, as typically defined here (e.g., HE).

I saw him for a 90-min outcall in LA during late spring 2019. The massage was on a bed and okay. I probably wouldn't repeat (unless I really wanted a massage and had limited options).

As mentioned above, based on the pic alone, I would interpret it as a joke. Instagram DMs are private. The sender/receiver, however, could always post the message.

I imagine that there are a variety of reasons why a masseur might shift between therapeutic and erotic sessions (e.g., timing, relationship status, arousal, attraction). I do understand, however, that once a masseur goes erotic it can be tough to return to strictly therapeutic, as the client might take it personally. If I were in this situation and enjoyed the therapeutic massage, I would continue seeing the masseur with the mindset that extras are nice but not guaranteed.

I got my first erotic massage when I was 22/23 as a birthday gift to myself.

I think one of the tough things about being gay is that many of us are trained to be vigilant to protect ourselves. Many of us have been in situations where we could have legitimately been at risk of harm. If we are too defensive, however, it can be difficult to connect with people because of our lack of vulnerability. I hope you're able to take a risk and been vulnerable with men. I've frequently not given guys a chance because I was afraid they would reject me.

That's an interesting take. Although I agree that some portion of homophobic, straight men are managing same-sex attraction in a dysfunctional manner (e.g., reaction formation defense mechanism), I think that these cases are the minority. One doesn't have to identify with/be attracted to a group to be prejudiced against them. It would really be unfortunate if the 99% statistic were accurate, as it would mean that a significant portion of homophobia stems from self-hating queer men.

I'm pretty sure he was on "Workout" on Bravo. I haven't thought about that show in a long time.

I saw him 2 years ago, so my experience might be dated. He gave a solid therapeutic massage in my hotel room.

Michael G lives in LV, but I saw him while he was visiting LA. I'm not sure how often he visits. https://rentmasseur.com/MichaelG
