If we all walked away after being kept waiting say, 15 min, most would hopefully get the hint.

All types. Variety is the spice of life after all : )

You’re paying for a service. If he truly has feelings for you he can have sex with you for free no?

Outside of a spa this is my philosophy as well. To freelance providers I let them know what I am looking for and they can name their price. If it meets expectations or goes above I’ll usually add another $20 or so but nothing dramatically over the agreed price. In a legit spa setting 20-25% assuming great service. NYC style spas I think it’s customary to leave upwards of 100% as the masseur generally only makes tips and the cost of the massage is generally very low.

A name change is always the sign of quality.

Back in the Bay Area! Avoid.

I figure that the ones I have feelings for are the ones that are really good at their jobs. Which then reminds me that it’s their job and I’m their client.

Gone lol ?

He’s a chiropractor so those rates don’t surprise me.

I’ve had a couple that were overall pretty good but ultimately I like the intimacy of 1:1 more. With a 4 hand I feel like a third wheel.

Damn. I’d take my chances.

Lots of guys taking a break and waiting out COVID so my guess Garik is doing that as well although I don’t know for sure.

My exchange happened pre covid when he first appeared on RM. Just passing info along not making a judgment on his character. If he can command the price he quoted me, more power to him.

Try your luck but when his ad first appeared I asked him his rate for a 90 min erotic he told me $350. I tried to explain that the going rate in SF for that was $180-$200 He came back with $300. I passed. Maybe he’s adjusted his pricing by now.

I had a massage in a spa at a “gay destination” spot. They had a sign on the front desk that said something along the lines of “this is legitimate establishment and we take the well-being of our staff very seriously. No lewd behavior will be tolerated”. Which I was totally fine with. I wasn’t looking for anything more than something therapeutic anyway. I go into the room and it’s the usual spa set up. The masseur comes in - this cute ginger gay guy - asks me to undress, get under the sheet and he’ll be back. Throughout the course of the massage I kept thinking I was getting signals - grazing my balls/taint with a finger, adjusting the sheet so my crack was exposed, placing the palm of my hand on his chest when massaging my arm, massaging down into my pubic area, his bulge on my shoulder etc. But because of that sign I’m caught between thinking I’m misreading the signals and terrified to make a move and be embarrassed at best or at worst arrested. So I did nothing and he did nothing more. I’m still not completely sure what happened. I do know I would have signalled back if it hadn’t been for the fucking sign. That’s the closest I ever got to action at a legit spa.

Aside: such a good movie.

I usually book when I want/am ready for a massage not based on a particular guy. So if I want a massage for this weekend and the guy I booked cancels, I contact another provider. If it were me I’d tell this guy that I was looking forward to a massage this weekend and that I’m booking someone else and that I’ll be touch next time. But that’s just me. If you’re into him and you’re into waiting you might want to risk him canceling again.

In SF $120-$130/hr is the going rate for all the bells and whistles. For $170/hr it better be one of the best massage experiences you’ve had.

I saw him in January. Pics are accurate. Good shape with a bit of a belly. If you can get past that he gives a great technical massage, is playful, and a super nice guy. Reviews are positive for a reason.

This site never works for me. Not on my phone or my laptop.

I would have preferred that my parents and doctor had not mutilated my genitals without my consent.

Is it just me or do these not play (ads that won’t end)?

Therapeutic massage with erotic elements with someone either trained or with a lot of experience. Both nude with mutual touch and release. Open to more if there’s chemistry but not the goal of the session.

I would love to get one and I’m sure my repeat providers would love to give one but for me the risk is still too high.

I’m the same. I don’t get into specifics because there are so many variables with massage of this type and it’s definitely a “YMMV” situation - what happened during my session might not happen in your session and I wouldn’t want to create any expectations in the mind of a client that a provider may not want to live up to. I will give general info and whether I’d repeat or not.
