Dr. Roman Hands

Took the plunge in late August. Very nice man. Very midwestern. From Minnesota. Seemed “straight acting” and I can surmise he is but obviously not at the point of unwilling to do gay massage. His body was perfect like a Greek God. Think Chippendales type. Just ripped. Age wise handsome masculine face I believe 33 but if he’s 40 I wouldn’t be shocked. Nevertheless he’s handsome. Like a bro athlete jock. Great massage. He really cares and it showed. Worked my glutes quite throughly and wasn’t shy about it. At the end he took off his underwear and he looked great. Good conversationalist and sincere. I think anything from HE to mutual HE is in the cards for the right guy but unlikely more. His vibe is not typical gay but not off putting. Recommend.

thank you Cooper

I second that, saw him in SF. Very engaging and nice young guy, late 20s. tall-ish, about 6' 1" and maybe 155 pounds. Brown hair, hazel-ish green eyes. Was reticent about sending a face photo so I was a bit worried, but he is just private. He's super cute - if you want to Google images I would put him in the Eleus Bullock, Charlie Rowe, or Logan Lerman universe. Very handsome boy, great body, lean toned, smooth chest, hairy legs. Great attitude, surprisingly great typical Swedish massage technique, and was definitely into the sensual/erotic stuff, but didn't shortchange the massage portion and overall was just a very nice experience. Could tell he is comfortable with who he is. For you inquiring minds out there, the toolbox was neither small nor particularly big but was adequate and very pretty in a slightly better than average sense. He seemed like he would fall into the versatile category, did not give off a particularly femme or butch vibe one way or the other. I'd call him a nice find for those willing to take the plunge.

Decent massage and nice guy. Pretty straightforward and standard sensual elements and HE

Sorry to hear about that experience. I found him to be super chill and nice. Perhaps he is a YMMV type, I honestly don't know. I could tell he was into me because he was "excited" and intentionally let me know that with body placement, a lot. Maybe my vibe that morning was one of relaxation and no expectation. I must confess he did offer at the end for HE without upcharge but I politely declined saying I was just looking for a massage that day. I paid whatever the base rate was, $160 or $180 I think. So, I don't know how to react to your post, but sorry you had the experience. He seemed nice and texted me afterwards thanking me for coming by and wanting to know if it was OK to text next time he was in town. It's possible he was very into you and wanted to up the game, or not at all and wanted to get it over with. Same for me tbh - masseurs are human and young gay ones have sex drive. I have had this happen before, where I go for bodywork without caring about what happens, and sometimes have some "interesting" experiences. The times I am in the mood I roll with it. Maybe it is because I am super fit and in shape or something, idk. I would say after having gotten lots of these of varying quality that he was above average based on the typical RM experience, and most people should give him a try. He fled Russia to avoid being drafted and was granted asylum in 2022. At least that is what he told me, and I have no reason to not believe him. I liked Vlad. He's super cute. Another technique I try is to not hit these guys on weekends later in the day or late at night, because by then you may be client #4 etc. My massage was mid week around 11am or something so I caught him fresh.

Good Russki! Saw him yesterday, staying at El Rancho Inn near SFO. He had a table in his room. A very sweet, lean toned and cute young twink/twunk. Accurate photos 100%. Russian but kind and not a scammy type at all. Very nice smooth Swedish flowing technique. He stuck to his routine and was nude. Quite attractive in all respects. Cut, which is unusual but he explained why. Interesting story of leaving Russia due to the war and seeking asylum. He is sticking to a standard routine which is to do a great thorough job and hit sensual areas along the way, but more on the therapeutic side, but plenty of opportunities for grazing as he placed his body where you could touch. At the end HE offered for no upselling. That is what to expect. What not to expect - him deviating or devolving the massage into a hookup session, or a rush job culminating in HE whether wanted or not. I was not able to glean whether he is inclined to do more - it did not seem so. I suppose YMMV but I doubt it. Overall, it was right in the sweet spot of what the Rent Masseur site is - not strictly therapeutic, and not an escort. Good value for the money. He was kind, engaging, cute, and attractive, and did a really great job. Worth booking.

I think that is just how you view the forums. Unless there is a glossary of terms or FAQ (I couldn't find anything under guidelines or elsewhere, but let me know if there is), then you are just recounting your past experience with how the site works and what you use it for. It's one of those YMMV situations. Feel free to reply as I am 100% certain you will, but I won't be cluttering up this post with further comments. Cheers.

I see - perhaps I should send you a list of everything about me - speaking style, world view, manner of dress, dietary concerns, et al - and then you can go over everything and make corrections so they fit with how you view the world and communicate in it. That way you can feel fulfilled and not out of control. I hesitated to even respond to the comment but could not resist. It is truly ridiculous. The post about this masseur clearly goes over what the experience is going to be like from multiple sources, and then you begin nitpicking semantics. Why? Everyone's experience is likely to be slightly different anyway. There is more than enough info to make a hiring decision for this provider without you playing Karen.

he checks in a lot. that's what it means.

Tried to schedule him. Set a time. Seemed normal enough. Asked him if Venmo or Zelle or PayPal or Apple Cash was ok and he said no and preferred cash. I told him I really did not feel like leaving the house at night to find an ATM. Then he said ok let me know, and I said “let you know what?” And he said “when you transfer the money”. Then came a scan code. I am assuming it may have been Venmo but didn’t see the little logo. I said “there is zero chance I’d pay you before meeting” and then I said to take care and was cancelling the session. He then blocked me. YMMV lol. We were chatting in the RM app. Not sure if he is sketchy, inconsiderate, stupid, or just lame but it’s not a great start for your review section. Anyone else chime in as needed.

profile seems to have disappeared

seems new to SF. Anyone? GabrielStLaurent - Male Massage & Bodywork in San Francisco, CA | RentMasseur RENTMASSEUR.COM Gay Masseur GabrielStLaurent in San Francisco, CA offering a wide range of massages ⭐ experienced in therapeutic, sensual, swedish, hotStone, deepTissue.

Chatted with him but never was able to quite set up a meeting. Seemed personable. Just out of a relationship and going to flight attendant class in February. Trying to make extra money on the side. He’s Russian but has a green card from his prior relationship. Had a real job in sales and lives in Koreatown. Seemed legit but was never able to pin him down on a time and date. Text responsive was ok but then a bit hit and miss afterward. Lmk if anyone has experience.

In SF now.

he moved to Portland and isn't coming back

Shirtless with loose fitting athletic shorts, and a jock or briefs underneath. I think he is dipping his toe into these waters, realizing the potential, but trying to remain professional. Super real and nice person. If you have zero expectation, then anything is a bonus. the technique is excellent. I do not see this progressing beyond a possible HE and maybe mutual touch, and I think that would be totally vibe based . Keep your hidden fantasies of a therapeutic massage ending with you impaled under a porn star at bay, cause I don't see that outcome happening with anyone. He's just different than the others.

I would agree. Super competent and legitimately trained sports massage therapist. lots of deep pressure and a hurts so good type of experience, definitely knows what he is doing. I would definitely say he is a YMMV type, he glides over some sensual areas as part of his routine. anything extra would be mutual consent and afterwards. Go to him if you want an excellent massage and keep expectations low. it's well worth it.

Saw him today. Very professional, nice studio. He’s a lean white guy in his mid 30s I’d guess. Speaks with an accent couldn’t tell if he was maybe European or possible Middle Eastern. (Israeli?) Had me sign an intake form/waiver. Very chill, nice, and calm. Clothed in sweats and t shirt. 90 minute massage. I didn’t ask for anything in advance just scheduled. Strictly therapeutic and draped. $160. I kept expectations low so no disappointments. It was probably the most skilled and best massage where I actually felt amazing afterwards. He is seriously trained and knew what he was doing. The fact nothing happened was fine because seriously this is as good as it gets for an actual massage. Big Hand Dan in SF is similar. I would have let him do anything he wanted but alas nothing happened. Maybe he wasn’t into me but honestly I just think he is not that type of masseur in all likelihood but well worth the cost. I am in good shape, fit, muscular and not half bad looking. Maybe on future visits he would break down a bit. Who knows. I thought he was cute in a rugged sort of way. If you want a legit massage look no further. He also has no ads on RM or any other site and had business cards on table also. He’s a pro.

Anyone seen this guy? https://rentmen.eu/August_SF

Andrew in Novato. Look him up on masseurfinder

Yes, very attractive, chill zen tall fashionable leggy type. Took massage very seriously, not transactional or really into doing a ton of sensual stuff, did some by default or from trying to keep up with what is expected but not his bag. Excellent high quality therapeutic, and I would use him for that and not expect anything else. Very skilled, super sweet, good experience, kept his clothes on.

pretty sure he is super old and all the pics but one are dated. look closely.........

took the plunge. Very nice guy, conscientious about covid, we both wore a mask. set up and location were good, his skills were pretty decent and it was fairly straight forward. I thought his photos were just OK for me personally but really wanted a masseur that wasn't a muscle god but more on the slim side. looks like his photos, fairly in shape, tan (naturally Mediterranean or mixed) and hairy, somewhat like an otter. Not ripped but not overweight either. certainly would be considered attractive by many, for me he was just OK but that's saying a lot given the number of times I have been actually disappointed. your mileage could vary with me he did not skimp on the massage but certainly paid attention to all parts of body throughout, and was certainly 'well equipped' for the task(s) at hand. We did not talk at all about what was expected, I prefer open ended and organic interactions that way I know if he is onto something than I must be somewhat pleasing to work on. for reference I am white, 50s, youngish looking and lean and in good shape. 5'10 165 he was about the same size. I have no idea if my experience will be the same for anyone else, could be more or less, but I definitely got a classic and typical and good experience based on what most people find using the various massage sites. I would say worth a try for most.

Any intel? https://www.masseurfinder.com/massage-therapists/40925/

He's not straight. Sorry that happened.
