Massage Review Site

[RadioRob]

As I’m working on the finishing touches for the escort database, I’m reaching the point where I can start thinking about a similar setup for masseurs. 

What sort of data would you like to see on the new review site?

[MikeH10]

this is a great idea. so just thinking of what i find most value in coming to the forums:

• a general thumbs-up or thumbs-down on whether a masseur is recommended
• more specific detail on what a masseur offers - beyond  the general categories of "therapeutic", "sensual", "erotic"
• feedback on accuracy & recency of photos
• links to a masseur's onlyfans & social media, if applicable 

[xax]

It’d also be nice to know if extras were discussed ahead of time or not. And whether there was an upcharge or part of the pricing already.

The classic questions:

1) Is there mutual touch?

2) Does he kiss?

 

[+ LS299B]

Great idea Radio Rob! In addition to the above, I would also add: 

Massage skills rating (novice to Pro)

Time booked vs. actual time spent

In call vs Out call. If in call - ambiance, cleanliness, and ease of access.

Amenities offered (water, shower, massage table vs bed, music, choice of massage oil/cream)

What massage techniques are offered?

Is he licensed/trained in massage?  If a masseur is licensed, we may need to limit some of the other requested fields.

[+ not2rowdy]

Agree with most of the comments already posted.

Except: I see a need to separate out licensed masseurs.

For them nothing on this site should jeopardize their license. No mention of “erotic”, “mutual touch”, “kissing” or any similar innuendo.

I hate to be crude, but I’ve often run into the masseur needing a shower. Rubbing and tugging can work up a sweat and it doesn’t take too long to ripen. So perhaps a hygiene rating? Daisy fresh to aged garlic?

MIght we want to be able to review a spa differently than we would a masseur?

I have not given it enough thought but my initial reaction would be to have spas be a category of venues.

Spas should be reviewed in terms of services, cleanliness, price vs service and then have the option to rate the masseurs making 2 scores an average of the place.

Pushing back on the kissing question, mutual touch is a reasonable checkbox in an erotic massage questionnaire.  Kissing is an escort thing.  You, easygoingpal, may have had lots of luck seducing masseurs into it :-) and that's great, but masseur kissing is not a common expectation; it would fall in the category of an over-expectation.

@RadioRob, When it comes time to discuss this category we have to keep in mind legal issues and protecting the license of both the Spa & masseurs. I was at “Hero” when it was raided by the NYPD. Resulted in the Spa being temporarily shut down. The masseurs were questioned & had to show their license. Fortunately, the customers were just told to get dressed & were escorted out. 

Several “extras” such as the HE, masseur getting naked, jerking the masseur off, sucking,  penetrating, mounting, etc would have to fall under the category of: EXTRAS: Yes or No.

Will the new review site be available for  public viewing or just M4M members?

I think most masseurs who also provide extra services are advertising as a masseur and not an escort for reasons of discretion. Publicly discussing intimate behavior beyond massage techniques undermines their business model and desire to avoid the legal gray area of escorting. I strongly believe that with masseurs, discussions of a sexual nature belong in PRIVATE conversation and not splashed all over a message board for the world to see .

Very true.  If the masseur is not advertising as an erotic masseur, and something enjoyably erotic happened during your session, you should not relate it, he could lose his license.

Even if someone IS advertising "erotic" sessions...that is still not sex service and therefore sexual contact should not be mentioned in the context of a business dealing.

You never know when the politics change and crack downs on prostitution occur. So sex is a private matter and isn't part of the service so should never be discussed publicly.

May be date when pics uploaded. With current tech one can find age of image too.

In the UK there is no legal gray area of escorting. It’s lawful here. Masseurs offering sensual / erotic are not doing anything unlawful. You might want to allow different details to be included depending on what’s lawful in each jurisdiction. I work as a sensual masseur in London and include sexual services in my massage. Clients need to know what’s included in what they’re purchasing.

For a bad experience, i appreciate when reviews stick to the facts, and just the facts, and not a review trying to trash somebody.  Own your own reaction without assigning too many labels to the provider.   e.g. "he's is a failure at communicating"  vs. "I had little success communicating with him"

Same for a good experience.  I like the reviews that remind how everyone's experience may vary.

So, perhaps the data requested can guide the review to stay reasonable that way.

Couldn't "Mannerisms" be construed as gender expression discrimination? Kinda like the phrase "I'm not into Asians" being demeaning racially?

Also, this could be a bit subjective like "chatty". For example, how many words tips the scale to a "chatty" masseur? Is the same measuring stick being applied by each person? Similarly, do they have to talk like a Valley Girl or flip their hand to qualify as effeminate?
