I have seen Mitchell before (was a while back) and agree, if you like jockey twinks he is fun.

Great description @SubNYCTwink

There was a new guy there (Sky I think?) that I really wanted to try that has already vanished from the site.

This is a long shot, but wondering if anyone has any intel on Asian massage spas in Portland that are quality and have male masseurs.

Totally agree with your assessment, cute and nice but does look a bit different than photos and does have some facial hair. When I saw him, I would call it a buzz cut but I wouldn’t say shaved head (unless it got shorter since I was there :)) For me I thought the massage was quite enjoyable… 6 or 7 out of 10, and I plan to return, but it’s not an immediate return or rush back (to your point).

Anyone know of any twinks in Portland? Prefer incall or spa.

Totally agree with you. There are lots of great places in LA but it does take hunting.

If you figure out who he was, please report back. Always looking for a cute twink 🥰

As someone very familiar with the LA scene but a new (part-time) resident of SoCal, it makes me happy to see all the LA and West Coast help here 🥰

Yes, but 8 hours… lol. It’s true you have to have a plan, but with good planning it’s easily doable. Having done this with long layovers at LAX, JFK, HND, TPE, HKG… 🤣

I will let others chime in if they know providers near LAX… but I wanted to note that 8 hours is plenty of time to rent a car and drive in to WeHo or other areas that are more ripe with providers. You can likely rent a car (if you search for deals or have any corporate discount) for less than ubering back and forth to somewhere closer to the airport for lesser massage. Just my $.02.

I hate to sound silly, but I usually just stop them right at the end of the massage and say “can I get your number” and make a motion like I am texting on a phone. If that doesn’t work I make the phone signal with my hand and hold it up to my ear and say again “can I get your number” and then usually I say “to text you” and make the texting motion again. I’ve never had them not understand after all that what I’m asking, even with almost 0 English. But I have had them occasionally say “no” or “not allowed,” etc. I’d say though I have at least a 70% success rate though when I ask. Usually they pull out their phone or if they don’t have it on them at that point I get up and grab mine. Other thing is sometimes they don’t have text but have WhatsApp or WeChat, or even occasionally Facebook or Instagram. So be prepared for alternative options to text (but that’s more common in Asia or elsewhere).

Sorry to pipe in on an older (and ancillary) post… but I can’t overstate how much I agree with this. I battle with myself over it. Sometimes I want to know what I’m getting into, other times I like to be surprised. Maybe that’s why I like Asia so much, the surprises come more often so I don’t have to worry as much and can enjoy the journey. 🤣

I DM’d you. I really like Tommy from back in his G Man days through to now. As others have noted, expectations up front are important to avoid disappointment. His X/Twitter is very insightful… 🙂

I think part of the challenge is discretion is necessary in today’s environment. The realities of enforcement (spas being raided, individual masseurs having issues at border crossings, etc.) make everyone more leery to share openly. This has been stated by others, but I’m cautious to share openly with those who are brand new to the forums or don’t post much because you never know who is on the other end of the keyboard. Those conducting enforcement are absolutely using forums like these to gather intelligence. Now, regarding the original frustration expressed by the OP, I am sure some of it stems from masseurs wanting to avoid the burden of maintaining a strong reputation. The environment exacerbates the situation.
