  1. Not sure about other places, but the vibe in San Diego is pretty chill. If a masseur advertised as discreet I wouldn't say anything. The situation felt right at the time. Guess it all depends on the specific place/time/etc, but I definitely wouldn't say there's an absolute rule against it. It was a quick conversation. He certainly didn't seem annoyed or bothered by it.

  2. I've recently paid as much as $200 for 1 hour with nude, MT, and HE here in San Diego. (For comparison, escorts here run $250 to $300 per hour.) I have no problem paying higher prices for a masseur who is sexy and skilled at what he does. Maybe it's just me, but I actually find myself a little more drawn to the guys who charge $150+. Seems like they can see fewer clients and still earn a good living. I much prefer that to being the 5th or 6th client of the day for a cheaper masseur...

     

    As for the OP's post, I hate upselling, and I agree that $50 just for nudity seems a bit high. Some guys charge $30-$50 more to go from "body work" to "erotic massage." I don't mind paying that because it often includes full nudity, MT, and HE.

  3. What about ** Clients ** asking for pics ????

     

    Um... Not sure where to begin with this... If you really are a client, why do you care? And if you're a masseur, then isn't this just part of the job?

     

    When I'm booking a massage I definitely want to see what I'm getting into. If a guy doesn't have many pics in his profile, if they are fuzzy, if they look overly photoshopped, or if there seems to be age/body differences between the different photos then you're damn right I'm going to ask for more pics. It's my right! Just as it's the masseur's right to tell me no.

     

    Let's be honest, these guys make pretty good money (and some of them without any real training or expertise at all!). If I'm about to fork over good money to them the least they can do is be a good sport and send photos if requested.

     

    Though tangential, this ties in well to my original post. Masseurs who request pics = red flag. Masseurs who give me a hard time if I ask for a few more pics = red flag. Moral of the story: shady tactics = lost business. It's simple math. End rant.

  4. Table! No question about it. Massage is my primary focus though, so I may be biased on this point. I've only done bed massage a handful of times, but my neck always feels worse after than before (which seems to defeat the purpose!).

     

    As for extras, I've had some pretty hot times on a massage table, but it was all just part of the "massage," not as a separate additional service. Cuddling might be tricky on a table...but I'm not there to cuddle.

  5. Had it happen once with a masseur who I’d seen previously but he wanted to refresh his recollection. No problem. Had it happen again a few months ago with another local guy where we’d set a date and time for the appointment, but then he wanted a photo before he’d give his address. I obliged, he went dark. Lesson learned.

    I can totally understand the former request, and like you I'd have no problem sending a pic to a masseur I'd already seen previously to jog his memory. But a new masseur requiring a pic before sending his address, and then ghosting you after you were courteous enough to send it?? That's insane. Makes you wonder how some of these guys stay in business.

  6. I recently had 2 different masseurs ask me for a pic of myself. It's not something I've encountered before, so I was a little surprised by it. For me massage is about relaxing and not dealing with the BS I've sometimes had to deal with on Scruff and Grindr, which are very looks oriented. The last thing I want to think about when booking a massage is whether the masseur thinks I'm hot or not. I'm not saying it's a deal breaker, but it definitely caught me a little off guard.

     

    Curious to hear how others feel about this. It's the first time I've had it happen. Would love to hear others' thoughts/opinions on this.

  7. Just circling back to this thread after recognizing him in person and having a quick chat. He was super friendly. A little shorter than I expected, but masculine, muscular, and furry in a good way :) He says he's no longer doing massage professionally. It wasn't clear if it was related to COVID or if he was just ready for a change, but I thought it was worth a quick update if any of you in the SD/LA area were interested.

  8. Does one have to wear a mask over the anal aperture too?

    Haha!! This is the best thing I've read all day!

     

    In response to the OP... If the masseur is COVID positive, then there's a very strong chance of transmission even with a mask on. The most recent data suggest that COVID is transmitted not just by large respiratory droplets but by very fine particles via aerosol transmission. In other words, sharing "air space" with someone is enough, even if they don't cough or sneeze. And unless the mask is a medical grade N95 mask, it probably won't do much to prevent aerosol transmission. I'm not an expert in infectious disease, but I do work in medicine, and this is the most up-to-date thinking on COVID transmission.

     

    Obviously getting a massage right now is a risk, but like other risks in life the goal is to 1) minimize that risk as much as possible and 2) figure out what level of risk you're comfortable with, then proceed accordingly. While there's no way to know for sure that the masseur is COVID negative, I do think it helps going to someone you've seen before, whom you trust will be honest about any possible exposure and who will cancel if they are feeling even a little ill. Also, some masseurs see 5 guys a day, some only see 5 a week. I think this makes a big difference, too...
