I was very interested and checked out his website - http://www.carlosfigueroafitness.com/

No. There are some things I consider private. My hobby of hiring, my net worth/annual earnings and the Justin Bieber blow up doll I have in the back of the closet in the hallway are a few examples of things I do not share with anyone. 🤫

I have a cautionary tale on this topic.
I started hiring in my late twenties/early 30s. Almost 20 yrs ago. I had several close gay friends - a few were especially close and remained close until a year or so ago. I was always honest with them and told them about my lifestyle which I summarized as my gay friends were my family and my romantic needs were outsourced to external vendors i.e escorts.
A couple of these friends also knew descriptions of some of the guys I met and about my good and bad experiences. 
My general thinking was as I was honest and upfront about my choices, it should be ok. One friend expressed minor concerns and others being very progressive were non-judgemental. This lifestyle choice never seemed to come between our friendships. These friendships were my primary support structure.
Fast forward twenty years later, as the pandemic and related stresses rolled in, and as the political polarization grew, one of the progressive friends who could not hold a job down and over the years grew somewhat jealous of my modest success (basic ability to have a good paying job for all these years) had a fall out with me after getting drunk. The words that came out of his mouth were eye-opening. He said you might be successful, but you pay for s*x. "You are a pedophile that you go after young guys" ( I have never been with anyone under 23 - but I do admit my preference is for escorts between 25-35 ). He called me all sorts of names. The alcohol and built in jealousy brought out how he really felt about what I thought was an honest and upfront lifestyle that I personally have no qualms about as long as there is mutual consent and no exploitation. Another close friend, who departed a year before this one due to political differences (he was tea-party supporter and later a Trumpster and I am somewhat left of the center) which he grew especially sensitive about in the polarized pandemic years, also mentioned about me 'hiring hookers' as one of my bad traits in our final argument.
So 20-21 years ..after being very close friends - almost equivalent of a family - I realized that friends, no matter how progressive, harbored negative feelings toward my ability to hire the best looking guys to have some fun. Those came out eventually despite them telling me it was cool with them through the years.
So, my advice is do not overshare. Gay friendships fall apart, friends are not family. They will use this against you when they no longer want to be your friends. 
With this experience, I now have become very introvert. 
 
 

No.    I have a few friends I met here on the forum who I openly discuss with, but not outside of this forum - there is too much judgement and negativity about the topic.

The subject rarely came up in casual conversation when I was younger, because it seemed to be taken for granted that you were a loser if you had to pay for it. However, I joined this site when I was in my late 50s, because it was a place to discuss the subject in an objective manner. Of course, that was about the time that the Internet was invented, which changed the way a lot of things were discussed.

The guys I go back to are the ones who make it sensual throughout.  I’m surprised so many of these MTs don’t realize that the whole massage is sensual, not just the last 60 seconds. 🤷🏼

You just joined the site 4 hours ago but you know that this provider values his regulars and when he is available?  Hmmm

I've met him.   He definitely did not go to UM.   The University of Michigan also has never offered a BA degree called "Medical Therapy" as he claims to have. https://admissions.umich.edu/academics-majors .  His profile shows he is 27 but started college in 2009 which would make him at least 32 now.   Other profiles he uses state he graduated with a MD from the University of Baghdad in 2009 which would put him closer to 42.  Its all BS, but that probably doesn't matter.  If you like a small muscle guy, he may be right for you.    (He is nowhere near 5'10"  as in his RM ad)

Agreed. That is the only indication that the provider is definitely open to more than a happy ending when posting on a massage site.

Have y'all ever watched any of this guy's massage videos?  Pretty racy for YouTube!  
 

Hot! Thanks for sharing! Years ago I stayed at a 5-star hotel in New Delhi for 2 months and got a few massages while I was there at the spa. Very similar style…they require male clients to have male masseurs, but use a smaller towel for draping—much like a hand towel. They are not afraid to get into your private areas, unlike US-based spas where there is too much draping. They give good glute or inner thigh or hip massages. They also spend a lot of time doing chest and abdomen massage often grazing my cock with their forearm or side of hand. Most spas in Asia were like this until they got westernized and allowed clients to choose the gender of their therapist. 

The Indonesian (and Malay) words pijat and urut both mean "massage." There are all kinds, but the internet is really full of videos of the "urut batin" type of male penis massage. It's also referred to as "manhood" massage. A similar type of massage is performed in India.
Hard to believe, but this actually is considered to be therapeutic rather than erotic. The client almost always wears shorts or a sarong (but can be nude), and the massage is delivered over or even under the shorts. The goal is to stimulate one's virility, vitality, and libido (hence "manhood"). It can even be performed by a masseuse. The word batin refers to "spiritual" or "inner" power. Here's a diagrammatic example of such a massage:
 
I've lived in both Indonesia and Malaysia, but I've never had this type of massage. I prefer the sensual and erotic masseurs who advertise on our favorite sites. I would probably be very frustrated with an "urut batin" session.

First time for me, too. The Japanese are masters of the nipple — and nipple pleasure. 

You do know it's very easy to flip a photo in any kind of photo editing software, and even in a phone after it's been taken.  It's pretty basic.
Guys here have met him...if the photos were fake they would have said so by now.

I used to see him regularly before Covid.
Very sexy man. Great body. Good massage skills. Very sweet but a little touchy about being approached by customers for sexual services. There is a line drawn in the sand and few get to cross it.

Straight Asian couple get partitioned side by side massages… his is 4-handed.

I dunno about you guys but anyone withvthst past is a red flag. If he overdosesxyou will be the last person in his hotel or he in yours . I don't need these kinda complications in my life 

Currently advertising in SD as this: https://rentmasseur.com/MasseurSteve.  I believe there is a good amount about him searching under the above.  He came to Chicago sometime in December for a short stay but is now here apparently for longer.  While I cannot report having experienced him, he caught my attention with his private photos on the massage site.

Best Purely Therapeutic: Jamison, Palm Springs. Extremely good clinical-like technique. Nice guy.

My two front runners for my best massage of 2022 are : https://rentmasseur.com/RobCMTNY/ , https://www.masseurfinder.com/massage-therapists/12230/ . Based out of NYC, but travels across the US. Rob is an older, fit muscular, white guy, shaved head, handsome imo, blessed with good genes He uses great technique, good personality and communication was prompt. A blend of deep tissue and sensual touch.  YMMV.
The other top notch experience was with Chris,
51, red hair ginger, had longer hair when I met him than his photos which I think makes him look even better. Also top notch legitimate technique. Extremely nice personable guy. I usually don't seek out new LMTs but his reviews on here were positive. Muscular physique.  A blend of deep tissue and sensual touch, also blessed with good genes
https://www.masseurfinder.com/massage-therapists/1261/ , https://rentmasseur.com/SportsMassageNYC
Both Chris and Rob will be amongst the 3 LMTs I will seek out first and foremost because of skill, looks, and chemistry. Chris is a slight edge for me and will be my go-to in NYC, but both are worthy hires to me.

He plays too many games for me.  He was supposed to arrive in Detroit on Oct 26th.  We started texting nearly a week before his arrival.  He kept changing his dates and said he wasn't yet setting up appointments.  What he likely didn't realize is that we have a group of guys here who talk and share info so we all knew he was in fact setting up appointments and was already advising the hotel name, etc.  He texted me again once he was here and said I could now meet him because another client had cancelled.  I politely declined.  He was giving different stories to every guy that contacted him and caught in a bunch of lies.  Don't these providers realize many of the clients talk to each other and figure out the BS?  Guys like this don't need my money.

Previous threads all old and closed.  Also f/k/a Rambo.
Previous comments include that he's a very good masseur but purely therapeutic.  Did porn under the Rambo name for Raging Stallion.
Anybody have any recent experience?

Here is another favorite. https://m.boyfriendtv.com/videos/869934/tr-mg013

Booked him last night. Incredibly hot, looks just like his pictures, the body's insane. But the massage was just average — I wouldn't recommend if you're looking for something legit and therapeutic. Very much geared toward a sensual experience (MT/HE), albeit with limited extras.
