nycmasseur's Massage Interview
Do you remember your first client ? Tell us something about that first day when you decided to be a Masseur!
I massaged a client's mole during my Swedish Institute clinic training and it fell off. He didn't notice so ignored it. That's a pretty good metaphor for doing massage in NYC and living life in general. No news is good news and if it ain't broke--don't fix it! Oh--also my fav "The road to hell is paved with the best intentions."
Do you consider yourself a successful Masseur?
I wake up every day by the grace of God! I'm queer/bi and have managed to survive living here for all this time; 9/11, being queer-bashed, CO-VID, not to mention stalkers and sadistic, psychotic clients, and the overall-death of New York City as a vital, cruisy, fun place to be especially for men, men MEN. I still have fun--love living here but the toll that technology (cell phones) has taken on the personality and character of this city is just plain sad. I LOVE most of my clients but when you least expect it-here comes the demon!
Still I am grateful and healthy and THAT is success my dear! It's all that really matters.
How would you like someone that contacts you for a massage to feel when they leave?
Like they've been touched by an angel.
What are your hobbies, what do you like to do in your spare time?
Anything creative. And I LOVE watching bodybuilders pose and flex. Yum! Oh and I love having a beer, smoking a joint and watching all the freaky kids walk up and down 6th Street late at night from my rooftop, while listening to LO-FI Girl. If I get bored I pump up my weights and dance to Donna Summer. She's the queen of sensual dance music.
Why did you become a Masseur?
I wanted to be a star but God had a different plan.
What advice would you give to someone who wants to be a Masseur?
Darling the business here is flooded with strange-looking twinks and fly-by-night queens who know little or nothing about giving a massage. And this site in particular displaying all our nude shots to subscribers like cheap porn and and not giving us a cut. That's the height of sleaziness. Sorry RM but you suck. The only reason I'm here is that you do work in terms of bringing me clients. Thank you for that.
What distinguishes you from all the other Masseurs?
I'm nycmasseur!
How long have you been a Masseur and how long do think you'd like to continue?
Have you heard of "The Pleistocene Epoch?" LOL.
Licensed in 1991. I will probably be doing massage in the spirit world long after my body has rotted away! LOL.
Some people say that being a Masseur is addictive. Would you miss your Masseur days ?
Embracing both my shadow and my gold is the secret to me being a M4M4$ massage addict AND continuing to offer healing to clients and keeping my heart open and my shields up. Daily prayer and gratefulness are intrinsic to my survival within the urban jungle. I said grateful not resentful. Also meditation helps me to recognize my triggers, and my addictions and keeps me aware of my own "script" and my own rage issues. Also quintessential to my lifestyle is nurturing a very, very strong sense of humor about everything, including God, myself and other queens (in that order). Daily conversations (praying) with the Holy Spirit are or can be as renewing as a walk in the woods, a trip to the seashore or a four hour stay at the Bath house (in spite of there being way too many LOUD, yappie women there). And I still I can manage to say "Thank you God" for it all.
Tell us a little about yourself, if you were to pick something what would you like your clients to absolutely know about you?
Let me be candid here--completely. I'll take the 5th. None of these readers are interested in anything about me except my body and/or my tool size. Can we keep this real please?!?
How often do you travel? Do you prefer to travel or are you more of a homebody?
If you've got the money, I've got the time.
How do you like clients to feel about the experience when they leave?
As I said before; like they've been touched by an angel. Who wrote these questions? A five-year-old? Or a monkey?
Is extensive training necessary for a Masseur in order to be successful?
Training is the seed, experience grows the tree. Both matter to me and should to the discerning client but most clients aren't discerning. The few that are--I'm here for them.
The only training this site or the M4M massage world now requires is that you have a damn credit card to pay for monthly advertising! And 90% of the fly by nights who advertise on here are kids with little or nothing to offer but their tender young skin and swollen egos. Thank Goodness I had my time in the sun before technology turned every queen into a phone zombie.
In order to be a successful human being trying getting off your damn phone.
OYE.
PS. Come for a great massage while I'm still here--come and get it. I'm really very good. And I try to leave my many blunt opinions outside of my massage studio. Peace and a Happy Ending to all LOL!
