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
