Jdy718 reacted to RadioRob in And we're back...
Greetings folks...
As you might have noticed, this site has been offline since around mid-day Tuesday. Our prior hosting provider decided that they are unable to continue hosting our website and had ended service to us. Unfortunately they did not provide any notification to me about this decision and I was forced to move the site to a new server without any sort of heads up. This includes arranging for the new hosting company, configuring the new server to meet the technical requirements, getting a copy of our current data, restoring that data (over 300GB of files), recovering the database (over 18.5 million records in that database taking up 11GB of space for the DB alone), and reconfiguring the software itself to run in the new environment.
While migrating there was also some technical issues that I ran into that required me to coordinate with Invision's technical support team. So that back and forth added additional time to the mix as well.
And to pile on further… all of this occurred while I'm traveling for my day job. So I've been doing this while in a hotel in between doing my day job on the road.
There are most likely several other things that will need to be fixed still and I'm working through them. For example, email may only be partially working. I still need to setup things like SPF and DKIM for the new server so our emails don't flag as spam. There are other settings that might need to be redone to work in the new server as well that I'm not thinking about yet. (As you might have imagined, I've not had much sleep during this whole process.)
But anyway... you get the idea. No... we're not going anywhere! This was a minor setback but we'll continue to move forward. Thank you all for your understanding and support!

Jdy718 reacted to misterhumphries in Hiring day laborers?
YES! Most of them, from the ones I've seen around Lowes and Home Depot speak minimal English. It's taking advantage of desperate men in the worst way. It's a type of sex trafficking.
Don't even think about it.

I never met him, but he sounds like the kind of person of which the world needs more. Anyone who loves and supports animals is a gift to humanity.
Will make a donation to the rescue organization.

Jdy718 reacted to Capitano in Anyone noticing a drop in massage rates?
I've started "polite market feedback" recently and here is the latest update on what I see around central Florida (Tampa, Orlando, etc.).
Many masseurs, especially visitors, are quoting some sort of "base rate" of $200 and want $250 for both nude and mutual touch with HE. When I respond that I prefer to keep it under $200 and will go back to one of my local favorites instead, they quickly backtrack and say that $200 is ok. Unfortunately, it's too late at that point. I don't want to get a massage from someone who is not happy with their compensation. Massage is a very personal and somewhat luxurious experience, so it is essential for both sides to be happy to be there under the terms that are agreed upon. Making it bazaar-like cheapens it and introduces a very wrong vibe that kills the experience IMHO.
I'll report if I observe any adjustments in quoting behavior, some may realize that getting more clients at $200 makes more business sense than fishing for the ones willing to shell out $250 or more. Some have even quoted $300 or $350. Hence my "polite market feedback" policy, I see it as community service 🙂

If you hover over a user's name, there is an "Ignore" button. Nice option!

Jdy718 got a reaction from + Italiano in Cocotazo / Jeremias in NYC
Lots of reviews scattered around the website, including for his rentmen work, but I don’t think Jeremias has a dedicated topic for his massages, so I thought I would start a thread since he really deserves one.
The texting initially felt a little awkward, but tone is hard via text. He’s actually very thoughtful. Instructions were super clear. I have to write about one area of growth so this doesn’t sound like I am doing pr for him, right? Lol.
Jeremias has fantastic great massage technique (he’s really trained). He always helps w w some gym fatigue and I always leave feeling transformed. Deep and not painful. Very thorough massage as good as many of the board favorites.
I have had sensual and Thai modalities w him and both were transporting. Throughout the sensual, his hands never left my body and he was always focused on my relaxation. In his Thai massage, he kept pushing me, gently, to stretch in what felt like a private assisted yoga session. Really phenomenal experience. But he won’t mix sensual w Thai. Two different energies.
And yes, he is ultra ripped His body is ridiculous.
Fun part, he’s in Astoria so I get to try awesome and affordable restaurants that area is famous for.

It’s because your delivery is atrocious (and you know it)
You enjoy being trite.
You also enjoy acting surprised when someone calls you out on it.

Jdy718 reacted to thelovebroadcast in NYC - Massage Parlors w/ Older Masseurs
Sweetie, I grew up here. New York has everything. You just need to know where to look. And whom to ask. Obviously you're not one of those people who knows, so... why even say anything? If you're not going to be helpful, best to just keep your opinions to yourself. Also, there have already been two different guys who have messaged me personally with recommendations. 😂

Jdy718 reacted to Medin in Identical Twin Brothers?
It's shocking on this board to see so many people talking about "choice". Who chooses their sexual orientation? Do you wake up one day, sit down at the breakfast table when you are about 5 years old and make the decision with Mom & Dad? How you "choose" to live your life is a different situation. We are in our infancy in regards to genetics. One of the first big studies was done by Dr. Dean Hammer at the NIH back in the early nineties if I remember correctly. My partner at the time was a participant with his brother. It was later found to have some flaws but set the groundwork for future studies; one of which was released a few years ago. Even if scientists were able to prove the genetic component with 100% certainty, many Americans wouldn't believe it anyway and we have the recent COVID epidemic as proof of Americans' distrust of science. You can blame the right for that-not a bunch of liberal activists.

Jdy718 reacted to LookingAround in Identical Twin Brothers?
You’re a piece of work. No one is claiming anyone can or can’t do anything. Except your twisted accusations that gay people lie to suit their own purposes. Best not to project your own intrapsychic issues onto others.

Jdy718 reacted to josh282282 in Rio de Janiero- update on Saunas Requested
Hey folks!
Thank you for the help & info. It's very, very appreciated that you took the time to offer me help! TBH, this is unlike the response I got from a guy on this board I DM about Rio this week. Yes, he answered my DM but not only did he outright refuse to answer my question but was quite rude & inappropriate to me. And it was just a question about saunas, nothing inappropriate at all! (Jeeze, why bother to respond at all then?).
But your suggestions will be used! And off to Rio soon I will go....
Hugs to all
Josh

Wow. I had that same experience. My first time he went way too far and I was in shock but my hormones were doing the talking at that point.
Hope you’re doing okay.

Jdy718 reacted to CuriousByNature in Alex/blessings
This warms my heart more than you can imagine. You and @Alex.Blessings should both be commended for turning around a negative situation in such an amazingly productive and powerful way. You, @dk582, have gone out of your way to correct any misperceptions, and with great maturity and integrity, have not only acknowledged what you could have done better the first time around, but have walked the walk and not just talked the talk. And despite the earlier critical and negative posts you made about your first massage with Alex, @Alex.Blessings clearly has the professional fortitude and inner kindness to meet again and show you what a great experience with him should be like. I don't want to gush, but you guys are both awesome, and you've shown all of us how two adults can work together to make a challenging situation positive. This has made my evening because it reinforces my long held view that humans were made to be in relationship with one another, and that disagreements and misunderstandings do not need to result in the breakdown of relationships, but rather, can actually strengthen those connections if we approach our differences with kindness and a willingness to understand each other. ❤️

Jdy718 reacted to ketut in AdonisX in NYC?
Hey Beckaev, welcome to the forum. Try searching before asking for intel on a provider. The search bar is in the upper right corner of the page, make sure you choose "everywhere" to get the widest results.
For this provider you would have found this page:

Jdy718 reacted to BriansBodywork in Asking a client for a face pic.
I’ve been able to find many a potential clients face pic without asking for one. Your number can lead to your name, your name can lead to Facebook, and there you have it. So much for being discrete! Sometimes Mr. Number will give the name of the client and the origin of the phone number then you can search for that potential client on Facebook. Sometimes you can even Google the number and get the clients info, including name and address! My doorbell camera is gonna get that picture when you show up anyways😜

Jdy718 reacted to + KensingtonHomo in Asking a client for a face pic.
I don't understand the caution here. If you send a pic, what's going to happen? If it's a G-rated pic, there are likely several of you on social media that anyone could download or screen grab. A naughty masseur having one doesn't mean anything. Do you think they can prove you sent it? If so, who would care?
If you're someone who avoids social media altogether, then I can understand it. But there are so many pictures of me on the Internet, I would say, "I guess they downloaded that from my Facebook profile," and move on...
If I'm going to a provider's home (or hotel), I generally offer to send a face pic so they know who is showing up.

Jdy718 reacted to Spiritualadvisor in Hung Masseur NYC
It is clearly proven that neither the vaccines or face masks prevent the spread of covid. It was all a lie. Both cause more harm than good. Moreover, the face masks are contaminated with many different and large amounts of toxic chemicals like VOCs.

Jdy718 reacted to PatrickWelsh23 in New Provider Liam NYC??
I get this, but I’m not Liam. & the Bergdorf’s comment was snarky. Apologies.
Im 52yo / pretty decent shape (runner/skiier/surfer) that sometimes hires - mostly massage w/extras. I don’t leave reviews often - & this is a new account. On previous account I rarely had experiences that seem worth posting about but there are a few and a couple with criticism regarding profile pics / stats.
So, here are some others I would recommend and maybe one or two that I would advise against. As always, PM for details

Amazing!!!! 🍀 the entire package & What’a package. you’ll session will defiantly last longer than booked, so include that in your calendar. He likes to get to know you and commune. He and his partner 🔥🔥 are both very caring and passionate, but very very “new age” so if that’s not your cup of tea, I’d say not for you
seriously, incredible, lovely, loving, & 🔥!!!

*Just all around🔥
https://rentmasseur.com/ShawnHealing
* great massage nice enough guy but a bit “whatever 🙄💅” @ first then warmed up
*But more than most want to pay to go the extra mile - & not to the end of the road
*Apt was messy / brooklyn art vibe - but I didn’t mind so much, clearly that kinda guy
https://rentmasseur.com/DaddyRetreat
only hired through MMX massage Is defiantly on the mild S/M vibe -not my thing - but was respectful of limits and I did enjoy a bit were he was leading me Skilled and hot
https://rentmasseur.com/Taly
hired years ago pre tattoos with his partner, who’s no longer listed
🔥🔥
https://www.masseurfinder.com/massage-therapists/13627/
with his partner way up town partner is not as handsome but very skilled and sexy non the less I can’t host, or I would see them more. It’s quite a commute
https://rent.men/SteelBike
🔥🔥 very long time ago and I think he’s in Philly now
https://www.masseurfinder.com/massage-therapists/6239/
Very long ago when he was at a spa one of my first HE expedites and didn’t expect it 🔥
https://www.masseurfinder.com/massage-therapists/39396/
very nice, relaxing but went pretty quickly into other territories I think we were just truest attracted to each other.
** there are others I’ve had incredible experiences with that no longer advertise.
*** also, many experience at Eqnx spas seeking the world
👍🏻/👎🏻:
https://rentmasseur.com/Lino
ok. have repeated but not in awhile. Likes to let you massage him. Ha! But I’m into that so…. 🔥
https://www.masseurfinder.com/massage-therapists/28165/
Ok, haven’t repeated but have considered.
https://rentmasseur.com/Alex_NYC
fun. Not really therapeutic pics are real but maybe a bit outdated? Bod is the same Maybe a bit older. Didn’t regret have never gone back
https://rentmasseur.com/Zanja
okay, but a bit anxious and weird but I think he was new. Was a few years back.
https://www.masseurfinder.com/massage-therapists/6376/
I love handsome older (relative term) men was curious forever because he reminded me a bit of a Russian masseur I used to see at equinox
So… when I got to his place, appearance was more disappointing than what I expected it to be I also go a very very weird vibe at first and almost left - a kind of silence of the lambs vibe & probably should have left, and just trust instants…but it turned out ok.
The massage it’s self was actually really incredible and actually very erotic even tho there was zero attraction
He is definitely a bit odd & bit curt, but harmless and I did really enjoy the massage not going back tho
👎🏻:
https://rent.men/MassageByRyan
pics are total fakes -about 15 - 20yrs older than those shown and defiantly not even him. Mediocre shape Should have walked away but didn’t. Massage was “eh” & I declined the HE
https://www.masseurfinder.com/massage-therapists/7513/
pics are accurate but the personality is not. The massage technique was good, but he had a palpable negative / energy. I tried a couple times because I thought he might be having an off day nope kinda snooty three times - clearly he’s exceptionally good looking and that is why I tried more then most but I always felt worse after. If your his type maybe you’ll have an awesome experience but I don’t know what that is Middle age white 5’8 trim/ fit, outdoorsy type (me) maybe is not.
