AntonGraza

It is a nod to the SS Antonia Graza, a fictional 1960's luxury ocean liner from a movie in 2002, my love of time spent in Italy, my hobby of reading about maritime ship wrecks and diet of spooky, scary horror movies in the 60/70's during my misspent youth.

Deep Pressure and a generous application of oil.....

I prefer the kiss and cuddle fetish.

I had an incredible time with Jake Haartman a couple of years ago; if I were going to NOLA, I would definitely want to re-connect with him. https://rent.men/Jake_haartman

I always tip generously when possible, even a few bucks to the guy at Discount Tire who has to has to run the free air tire service to buy a soda. I worked a few low pay service jobs to get through college and was thankful when someone tipped.
However, here is my observation with massage providers (in-call / in the $120+ range); they are a jaded group. When I first started hiring, I would put a 20% tip in the envelope, but began to notice the majority of the time there was no acknowledgement.
So now I only provide the quoted rate, no automatic tip.
If I had received a tip, I would send a quick text. It is an inexpensive easy way towards sowing the seeds for repeat business or is the majority of their business one time clients. ?

I prefer someone who is between 5'8" and 6'0". (Yes, some members of this Forum may be known exceptions to the rule. ;))

Emotional intelligence
Enjoys what he does and wants to be there and with me
Listens to and understands what I’m looking for - a bespoke experience
Patient
Professional

If the bros are also hoes, even better. :p:p (What have I become? ?)

Very sad indeed. RIP Marcus. Thanks for the memories.

Right before I went to his apartment me told he his friend tested positive and he was nervous. We agreed to wear masks and I accepted the risk. He texted me a couple hours after The session with his negative covid results and all of his personal info because he couldn’t live with himself if he gave someone covid. I found that to be amazingly sweet.

Chicago is a painful topic as most of my favorites (Nikola, David, Brad) have left town and/or stopped doing business.
 
I see similar pricing dynamics around here as well. You can get a good massage from a hot hunk willing to do it naked and be gently touched for under $160 an hour:
Kris_col, Erotic & Therapeutic Gay Massage in Chicago, IL (rentmasseur.com)
TommyParker, Erotic & Therapeutic Gay Massage in Chicago, IL (rentmasseur.com)
Mateomartinezhot, Erotic & Therapeutic Gay Massage in Chicago, IL (rentmasseur.com)
LukasWilson, Erotic & Therapeutic Gay Massage in Indianapolis, IN (rentmasseur.com)
 
On the other hand, some guys are pushing it, so I refuse to try:
LeoMillan, Erotic & Therapeutic Gay Massage in Chicago, IL (rentmasseur.com)
Chicago Gay Massage - Male Masseurs for Men in IL - Masseurfinder
Indycarlos, Sensual & Therapeutic Male Massage in Indianapolis, IN (rentmasseur.com)
 
BTW, Jake is excellent but he has raised his rate from $160 to $180. Fortunately, he charges the same for outcalls, so this crosses back into the acceptable range in my book.

I have significant back issues myself, and I strongly recommend finding a physical therapist, they are much better now than they were 20 years ago. I used to not be able to walk more than 100 feet without stopping. And it took months of doing annoying daily exercises that didn't feel like they were doing anything at the time before one day I noticed I went down the stairs without hands on both banisters and things got better from there. If you can swing it get a PT who works only with you for the hour; avoid the pt mills that have 5 patients at once and leave you alone most of the session.

Your sir would be a perfect provider for me. It is difficult to find a guy who as we both get sleepy will smile and understand it is time reach over and put on the cpap mask as you drift off. If you put mine on, I will put on yours AND fill your humidity water tank ; )

For years friends and colleagues have encouraged me to move my business to an online platform. COVID gave me the kick in the pants I needed to do this. The success of my business has surpassed any expectations.
 
I was able to pool my resources and be a mentor to others who have ended up being equally successful.

We all know 2020 sucked but what’s the best thing you were able to get accomplished or the best thing that has happened to you?
 
I’ll go first, I have been photographing people for a few years. I always had to work out of my home. Two days ago I closed on my first commercial lease. I now have a Modern Portrait Studio in Greenpoint.
 
Covid destroyed my businesses and my savings; But when life gives you lemons I choose to make lemonade. Covid also taught me how to be a better friend and have a life.

My baseline is that I can get excellent therapeutic massage at a chiropractor's office next door for $80 an hour.
 
My thing is that I like to feel comfortable and not worry about getting one of my very frequent erections AND I absolutely need to have my glutes taken care of because I run and do weights, so you can imagine how these two needs are correlated. The best way to keep me relaxed and comfortable is if the masseur is willing to be naked with me as well, to level the playing field so to speak. I'll pay $120 for a competent masseur willing to do all that and $140 if he is really hot. I go for 90 minute sessions, so this usually ends up being in the $150-$200 range.
 
I am not into sexual escorty stuff anyway but if the guy is hot and there is chemistry some mutual touching and teasing is a super nice way to complete the session, and here I am willing to go up to $160 but prefer to keep it at $140-$150 (so $200-$220 for 90 minutes). I don't know why people immediately jump to comparisons with escorts, to me, this is more like a Montreal stripper experience element, you see a hot guy and you get to touch him a little, that's all, no oral or anal sex.
 
Now, the problem arises with guys who see this gig as an easy way to make money, especially if they are straight, which often makes them act as if they were doing you some kind of favor. A guy with (1) no or low massage skills and (2) unwilling to get naked is a total ripoff at any price level no matter how hot he is. A hot guy with one of the two issues is a rip off at any price above $100, but I wouldn't hire him even if he charged less than $100 because of my basic option listed above.
 
In any case, it is remarkable how many of the listings on masseurfinder and rentmasseur fall into this "let's make some easy money" category. So be ready for the most likely outcome of a "meh" experience when you hire a new masseur, sad but true. Especially if you get no recommendation from this forum, but keep in mind that you still may end up unhappy even after receiving assurances from some of the members here ;-)

This.
 
It's pretty easy to in some cities to simply hook up with someone for free. I'm highly likely not going to get someone to just do a massage and maybe something more for free. So I definitely want good massage skills at the 100+/hr range. As mentioned above I can go to a massage chain or one of independent spots for a strictly business massage for 90 mins and not break $100.00 in the Atlanta market.
 
If a guy has lackluster skills in the massage department, IDC what extras he has or how attracted I am to him, I'm likely not going to repeat. If the massage is on point and he's hot, we have chemistry, and/or there's some mutual extras that will definitely get me to go back. I feel that the guys charging 160/HR are likely doing a lot more than massage and that's fine but not what I'm looking for. Clearly they are charging that much because they have people who are paying it so I'm not mad at that at all. But at 160/hr and all I'd get is a simple rub down and maybe a HE after upgrading, that's quite alright.
 
We have a lot of tempting visitors here but I'm leary on some of them when they are charging so much more than the locals. At least charge one rate on MF/MM4M So I know it's massage rates and a different one on RMEN So that I know that it's probably the escort rate. Making the rates the same across all these platforms yields too much ambiguity.
 
I have found in my area 2 guys who charge 160 for 90 mins and the massages are great and have extras. They both have very different styles from each other. Then if I'm more budget conscious, I have 2 that are really good at therapeutic and cost 100/90min or less. One has HE but the other doesn't but skills are awesome. These are acceptable rates and competitive with the commercial places and I like that they are getting all the money paid to them. While the last two mentioned guys are not muscled pretty boys, they do a spa quality work.

I let somebody who was signaling come into my lane this afternoon.......
 

I didn't think it was a big deal a the time, but it was Valentine's Day and I was picking up some groceries at the store and was then going over to pick up some dry cleaning. I had been using this cleaners for years, so I knew the three ladies to say hi and make small talk. I decided to buy a bunch of red, white and pink carnations to give to them. They were totally floored that a customer brought them flowers. I asked if anyone had ever done that and they said no. When I go in, they give me the biggest smiles. It really was just an impulse thing, but it meant a lot to them.
