i’m small; it wouldn’t offend me lol.

Agree. I’d take a nice looking smaller dick over a big ugly one any day.

I don't want to offend anyone. I actually think that assuming that small = bad is offensive. Not everyone is a size queen. Aesthetics over stats, imho.

Agreed. This is something that can cause problems for masseurs legally and in their personal lives. I would suggest being vague. We all know YMMV and if two consenting adults want more than so be it. Unless he specifies escort services, some things are better left unsaid.

I don't think it's cool to be publishing private emails. We expect these guys to be discreet with us, but then do this to them? These guys have licenses and other jobs. It's not as if Anthony is on Rentmen, as far as I know. Looks like you asked him about erotic/escort services over and above his massage services and he answered you privately, not for his emails to be made public to the world.

There's a concentration of m4m masseurs and spas in Weho (West Hollywood) and Beverly Hills.
 
There are definitely masseurs downtown, but not as many as the above cities.
 
If you are working downtown, I'd recommend staying there. Could you change hotels to Weho on Friday and bookend a weekend? That would give the convenience of being close to work and then free you for the weekend in Weho.
 
Hollywood has a lot of providers as well but a bit more of a tourist trap. Koreatown has a lot of gay friendly spas.

I would suggest that you stay downtown or nearby so as to make your business connections & time frames convenient for your original purpose of going to LA which you noted was for work purposes. In other words, your accommodations will be focused on your business engagements downtown. By doing so, you can avoid a long daily commute to and from downtown in morning & evening rush traffic, something that is best avoided!
Make your 2ndary emphasis in LA (for fun, including massage or otherwise) also your 2ndary focus as goes your accommodations.
Plan to go to an appointment with a provider at his location via uber, a cab or even the train.
Have fun!

Well, to get back on track, I too thought Bryan is talkative, but super friendly and provides a good service. I actually really enjoyed chatting with him, well after the massage.

I would like to think a forum where guys discuss paying a stranger to massage us and jerk us off would be more sex positive and less judgemental...

I’ve seen him a few times before. The massage itself is not very good, and it tends to get lazier over time. He has a beautiful body that he is open to being touched. He was arrested once for practicing massage without a license though I’m not sure that the D.A. followed through on the charges. Nice enough guy. Not 21 but still looks youthful.

Wow! He states his age as 21 & says he has 8 years experience.
I wonder if he initially called himself
“The Pubescent Masseur”!

One word of advice...if your massage oil comes in a gallon
jug dispenser....it’s not high quality.
 
Biotone is considered the top of the line for massage products. You can get it in gallon containers.

i know that this has been discussed in other threads, but it seems particularly relevant here.
 
this past week, i booked time with an extremely well-reviewed masseur... he offered a 60 and 90 minute session, with the latter being promoted as a sensual experience. i went with the 90 minutes.
 
at the end of the session as a sensual "overtone" began to manifest, he asked for an additional $60 for a "happy ending" (his words....)
 
goes without saying i will never call him again!

This forum is such a valuable resource to protect each other from so many scams and duds. Although I’m a new member, I’ve relied on the advice here for awhile to keep me from making more mistakes in judgement. I finally decided it was time to participate and speak up.

I’m a big fan of these forums. It’s an awesome way for us to share helpful information and points of view with each other. I often find insight and sometimes humor in the posts. I’m grateful for that.
 
I don’t quite understand the hostility in this thread and I’m glad it’s uncommon.
 
I think this forum (and our country at large) would benefit from more kind, thoughtful and open opinion sharing.

I might if I wanted them to pretend they thought I was hot.

He is NOT attractive at all.

Thanks for all of your responses. Much good feedback. I'm glad that I joined up.

I always let them know I'm omw or running a little late. Sometimes traffic isn't something you can do much about especially if you you are not familiar with traffic patterns at certain times of the day.
 
He should not have projected his frustration over the previous client who didn't show up on you. That wasn't your fault. 15 minutes isn't even that long really. I have had small talk after that lasted as long. If he's booked up so tightly that he's running them in with 15 minutes to spare that's his fault for poor time management. Plus some guys like to rest/shower before the next client.
 
I probably wouldn't repeat unless he was really good or if you reached out and explained to him that you feel shorted and he's apologetic. Since he's had time to calm down some you might be able to recover a better session and discount. If he was not good I'd just not worry about it and find someone else.
