Massage in NYC during Phase 4+

[BuddyWorker]

Here is the list of my massage forays during Phase 4+ here in NYC. I am not delusional. I know that in any of these adventures, I may get COVID. I just try to minimize my risks by choosing NYC masseurs and not go to masseurs who are traveling or who have just traveled from NYC DOH restricted states. Again, these are my experiences and I cannot guarantee that this will be the same for you. I tried to write about the details in my massage experiences that I believe will most likely happen to anyone who books a 90min session with the masseurs below.

 

MARC

https://rentmasseur.com/MassagedByMarc

I went to see him at his place in Harlem. He is a very nice guy. He definitely looked like his photos. He just had a birthday so the living room still had decorations. Thank god that he has a dedicated space for the massage. You’re both not masked. He has a comfortable table and he was nude from the get go. This guy’s body is smooth. He used good Swedish techniques with some stretching but definitely self-taught. I would probably go back. MT and HE. No upsell.

 

ALEX

https://rentmasseur.com/AlexV

I saw Alex at his place. He actually looked much younger than his photos. I was actually surprised and he appeared normal. I honestly expected him to be quirky (due to the weird photo poses) but he was just that - normal He works in a large shared apartment in Harlem which is clean and neat. You’re both not masked. He had a table and he was wearing his underwear when we started but kinda took them off 5 minutes in - maybe it was hot He was quite good with a mix of sensual light touches - almost like caresses really) and then some Swedish kneading. He is most likely self-taught. His body is slim and tight. MT and HE and no upsell. I would probably go back.

 

RICO

https://rentmasseur.com/RicoNY

This guy is HOT! When you contact him, he texts you the various services and the corresponding fee. I decided to go for the sensual one - there’s the therapeutic and the more expensive erotic. He also requests for a Venmo deposit which may be a deal breaker for some. His place is quite nice and the opportunity to shower beforehand (actually a prerequisite) is refreshing. You’re both not masked. He uses Swedish techniques primarily on a table. He was nude from the start. His body is pretty muscular and smooth. Nice d and a. After our session, I got the chance to shower again. Afterwards, I asked him how different my experience would have been if I chose the erotics one and he said it will be more intimate and more body contact. I dunno, but our session was already pretty intimate so I guess I should come back to find out what he means by “intimate”. MT and HE and since his rates are tiered, there’s no upsell. I would definitely go back.

 

PHIL

https://rentmasseur.com/MassageProLmt

Phil is a keeper. He is actually someone who would be a good person to see if you are planning your first massage during this pandemic. He is masked and so are you. He works from a. Small apartment but it was clean and neat. He works on a table and has single-use coverings. His techniques are very good - spa quality. His rates are actually quite low for the kind of massage quality you’re getting. He may not have the best physique, but he is cute and really is a nice guy. He only advertises as therapeutic but then things do happen. Not that I’m complaining I would go back.

 

DANTE

Now this guy was such a surprise. He already looks cute in his pictures but he is so adorable in person. Tall, dark and handsome and from Paraguay. He just moved to his new place in the UES. He has a neat shared apartment but his own table set-up in his room. He uses a table. You are both not masked. He has very good techniques and also massaged me in his underwear and then not ?. His body is pretty toned and smooth. He is very sexy and a nice guy which I found very appealing. We are both cyclists so it’s great to chat afterwards. MT and HE. No upsell. I would definitely go back.

 

CHRIS

https://www.masseurfinder.com/massage-therapists/40287/

This guy is totally therapeutic. But his techniques are very Thai massage-based which I love. He works on a mat and you’re both masked and you’re both wearing gym clothes. He asks you to bring them during the appointment. He is very nice and friendly. He shares the space in West Harlem with housemates but has his own space in the living room to do his sessions. I love chatting with him as he twists and bends you. Really good post-workout. No MT or HE. I would go back.

 

JASON

https://www.masseurfinder.com/massage-therapists/39901/

Jason is a very nice guy. He also needs better pictures on his website. As someone who has been a model in LA, his picture online are crappy. He is definitely much much better looking in person. He has a very hot defined body and is much leaner than his photos which honestly suits him better. He works from a table as pictured in his ad. It is a bit misleading since the place is small and a bit cluttered when I was there. It kinda looked liked my room when I was in university. ? He starts out in his underwear but those came off quickly. Did I say he was sexy? He is thicc. His techniques are excellent. He uses deep tissue techniques and my god they were awesome. My muscles were sore after a workout so the release was great from the deep tissue muscle manipulation. Someone in the forum said that he used to escort, I would just say, it showed! I would definitely go back. MT and HE and no upsell.

@BuddyWorker may I begin by saying people pay money for reviews like this. I am truly appreciative for your taking the time to share your experiences with your Forum buddies. It sounds like they should all be on a must try list. The one thing that surprises me for a majority of the masseurs is that they massage without a mask. From my reaching out to my regulars who are back in business both privately and at spas, masks for both client and masseur is required. I guess everyone proceeds at their comfort level on both sides. Thanks again.

[hrlmguy]

Wow. Thanks for sharing. Sounds like I need to put a few of these guys on my list!!

The triad to mitigate risks of a COVID infection is strict and frequent handwashing, physical distancing at least 6 feet and the use of a face mask.

This triad has been proven to be effective. Break one of the sides, your susceptibility to possible infection increases. Abiding to 2 out of 3 of the triad can still decrease that risk. That is why health care personnel, who cannot physically distance themselves 6 feet apart in wards and clinics, rely on frequent handwashing and the use of a face mask and has decreased their chances of getting infected. However, the use of just one - either wearing a face mask but not physically distancing or not washing one's hands frequently - has not been proven to be effective. So honestly the use of masks by the masseur and the client is, in my opinion, practically nil in its effect in mitigating the risk of infection.

This is not quite right. In the simplest of terms, you become infected by breathing in the virus (which is why masks are recommended) or by bringing the virus into your body via contaminated hands (which is why washing your hands is helpful). Social distancing, which you obviously can't observe during the massage, helps lower the infection risk even more because you're less close to people breathing out the virus and to contaminated objects you might touch.

 

So if you and the masseur wear a mask at all times, then you're reducing the risk of breathing in the virus and becoming infected. If you and the masseur wash your hands before and after the massage, and don't touch your faces, then you're reducing the risk of bringing the virus into your body via contaminated hands. Hand washing is not a magic ritual, so the fact that you're not washing your hands every 5 minutes during the massage has no bearing on the effectiveness of those recommendations (and doesn't mean you've broken a "triad"). And the fact that you can't social distance should make it more critical to observe the mask and hand-washing recommendations, not serve as justification for ignoring them.

 

If y'all need to get a massage, have at it. But please consider doing as much as you can to lower your risk of getting infected and potentially getting others infected too.

@thedanNYC couldn't have said it better. Masking up is the #1 way to prevent spreading. I've heard that the mask alone results in 70% protection against the virus. Droplets from one's mouth and nasal passages in the air allows for the greatest transmission. I'd like to think that the masseur's hands were washed right prior to beginning a massage even pre-Covid. No judgment here. Enjoy your massages but I'll choose that masseur and I both wear masks for now. I can't go for a relaxing massage and then stress out for 14 days afterwards.

I would like to commend you for the eloquent account of your experiences. Over time, members would save a ton of money and angst by avoiding bad masseurs by hiring legit workers. Additionally, it is rare for members to post a collection of experiences in one place and it is very thoughtful of you to do so. I'm a fan.

Another thanks, @BuddyWorker, these notes are really excellent. I'm struck by the range of providers and experiences that you found positive. And not a dud in the seven (unless you just left them out ...). I envy your bodywork budget!

Now this guy was such a surprise. He already looks cute in his pictures but he is so adorable in person. Tall, dark and handsome and from Paraguay. He just moved to his new place in the UES. He has a neat shared apartment but his own table set-up in his room. He uses a table. You are both not masked. He has very good techniques and also massaged me in his underwear and then not ?. His body is pretty toned and smooth. He is very sexy and a nice guy which I found very appealing. We are both cyclists so it’s great to chat afterwards. MT and HE. No upsell. I would definitely go back.

 

CHRIS

https://www.masseurfinder.com/massage-therapists/40287/

This guy is totally therapeutic. But his techniques are very Thai massage-based which I love. He works on a mat and you’re both masked and you’re both wearing gym clothes. He asks you to bring them during the appointment. He is very nice and friendly. He shares the space in West Harlem with housemates but has his own space in the living room to do his sessions. I love chatting with him as he twists and bends you. Really good post-workout. No MT or HE. I would go back.

 

JASON

https://www.masseurfinder.com/massage-therapists/39901/

Jason is a very nice guy. He also needs better pictures on his website. As someone who has been a model in LA, his picture online are crappy. He is definitely much much better looking in person. He has a very hot defined body and is much leaner than his photos which honestly suits him better. He works from a table as pictured in his ad. It is a bit misleading since the place is small and a bit cluttered when I was there. It kinda looked liked my room when I was in university. ? He starts out in his underwear but those came off quickly. Did I say he was sexy? He is thicc. His techniques are excellent. He uses deep tissue techniques and my god they were awesome. My muscles were sore after a workout so the release was great from the deep tissue muscle manipulation. Someone in the forum said that he used to escort, I would just say, it showed! I would definitely go back. MT and HE and no upsell.

Finally a legit, trusted review for Rico. That’s the confirmation I needed to finally book a session with him. Thank you, sir.

Here is the list of my massage forays during Phase 4+ here in NYC. I am not delusional. I know that in any of these adventures, I may get COVID. I just try to minimize my risks by choosing NYC masseurs and not go to masseurs who are traveling or who have just traveled from NYC DOH restricted states. Again, these are my experiences and I cannot guarantee that this will be the same for you. I tried to write about the details in my massage experiences that I believe will most likely happen to anyone who books a 90min session with the masseurs below.

 

MARC

https://rentmasseur.com/MassagedByMarc

I went to see him at his place in Harlem. He is a very nice guy. He definitely looked like his photos. He just had a birthday so the living room still had decorations. Thank god that he has a dedicated space for the massage. You’re both not masked. He has a comfortable table and he was nude from the get go. This guy’s body is smooth. He used good Swedish techniques with some stretching but definitely self-taught. I would probably go back. MT and HE. No upsell.

 

ALEX

https://rentmasseur.com/AlexV

I saw Alex at his place. He actually looked much younger than his photos. I was actually surprised and he appeared normal. I honestly expected him to be quirky (due to the weird photo poses) but he was just that - normal He works in a large shared apartment in Harlem which is clean and neat. You’re both not masked. He had a table and he was wearing his underwear when we started but kinda took them off 5 minutes in - maybe it was hot He was quite good with a mix of sensual light touches - almost like caresses really) and then some Swedish kneading. He is most likely self-taught. His body is slim and tight. MT and HE and no upsell. I would probably go back.

 

RICO

https://rentmasseur.com/RicoNY

This guy is HOT! When you contact him, he texts you the various services and the corresponding fee. I decided to go for the sensual one - there’s the therapeutic and the more expensive erotic. He also requests for a Venmo deposit which may be a deal breaker for some. His place is quite nice and the opportunity to shower beforehand (actually a prerequisite) is refreshing. You’re both not masked. He uses Swedish techniques primarily on a table. He was nude from the start. His body is pretty muscular and smooth. Nice d and a. After our session, I got the chance to shower again. Afterwards, I asked him how different my experience would have been if I chose the erotics one and he said it will be more intimate and more body contact. I dunno, but our session was already pretty intimate so I guess I should come back to find out what he means by “intimate”. MT and HE and since his rates are tiered, there’s no upsell. I would definitely go back.

 

PHIL

https://rentmasseur.com/MassageProLmt

Phil is a keeper. He is actually someone who would be a good person to see if you are planning your first massage during this pandemic. He is masked and so are you. He works from a. Small apartment but it was clean and neat. He works on a table and has single-use coverings. His techniques are very good - spa quality. His rates are actually quite low for the kind of massage quality you’re getting. He may not have the best physique, but he is cute and really is a nice guy. He only advertises as therapeutic but then things do happen. Not that I’m complaining I would go back.

I cannot thank you enough for taking the time to share your multiple experiences. I was on the fence about RICO, but your description and the feedback from others convinced me to try him out. I may become one of his regulars ...

If I wasn't saving for my own massages, I would say we should all take a collection to help @BuddyWorker pay for more massages to get more great reviews! Thanks

[Sidnerf]

Hey @BuddyWorker thank you so much for this awesome list. To be honest I don't think I would've ever discovered these masseurs if it wasn't for your great feedback. I tried DANTE (on your list) and you nailed it. He was exactly like you stated. Started in his underwear and then they came off. MT and HE. For my taste I wish he would've used more pressure when he was working on me ( I mentioned to him that he could) but be to be fair he said that he had just gotten back into town and was alittle tired. I would probably go back. Super sweet guy. I'm going to try PHIL the next time I go to get worked on. Thanks again for this list. Really appreciate you writing it and informing us.

Phil’s ad seems to have disappeared

@BuddyWorkerI've been largely absent from the site for the past year but this list is impressive. I love that you spend so much time on the reviews. It really helps when scouring the frequently-changing landscape of masseurs. I've been clicking through and adding some to my favorites or "must try" list.

Thanks for all this hard work.
