I’m headed to Palm Springs. My journey begins on Monday 11/18 but I will be taking my time and making several stops along the way. (Follow my bluesky /craw75 to see my journey)
I will be creating content along the way but not sure how many clients I can take as my massage table is packing tight in my car and It will be difficult to access.
Reach out as I might have options in my hotel rooms.
I’m excited to get to the desert and start this chapter of building my male intimacy business.
More to come!

That’s right! After a wonderful year of nature in the Green Mountain State of Vermont, I have decided to relocate to the desert in Palm Springs, CA. I have stayed in PS in the past a few months here and there but this time I’m looking to plant some roots. I look forward to reconnecting with the gay community of southern California and building lasting relationships with like minded individuals. I will continue to offer my massage services and opening up my practice to more male intimacy session and explorations including group workshops (more on that later).
I wanted to send a special thank you to all those in the North East who I have met and taken care of over the past months. Most know I have family in New England so I am back often but for now, I’m headed west.
I will be taking clients throughout October here in Vermont and then packing up for my November move!
Cheers to my next chapter!

It’s been a while since I’ve left Vermont and I’m anxious to explore. I will be planning a few trips throughout New England and I think I have something planned for NJ as well. I may explore Albany/Troy area too. Watch for my travel dates coming after Labor day.
In the meantime, I’m having fun collaborating with content creators as well as taking care of my massage clients. Looking forward to much more!!

Hello men!
It’s been a while since I’ve done a little blog but I wanted to make sure everyone knows the updates. I DID get a new phone number that will be specifically connected to my massage and male intimacy business. If you have my 617# saved as me, please update to the new 802# in my info. I WILL reply to the 617 texts but I’d like to centralize all of my clients. Thanks!
Also, I just started my Twitter/X account. I know, I’m so late to the game. But now RM doesn’t link to them anyway. BUT, I wanted to share more NSFW content with everyone so I am! Check it out!
I will be updating travel dates via X as well.
And yes, I opened a JFF page as well!

That being said, I wanted to let all of my massage clients know that discretion is paramount for me and none of this has any effect on my professional relationship with my clients and our sessions. If you have questions or concerns, please reach out!

Thank you again to all of my wonderful clients for their continued support! I plan on traveling more so reach out and let me know what cities I should add to the list!

Cheers,
-Matt

I recently launched my Instagram (@mattysaysrelax) and I am looking for men willing to be photographed (video & still) getting a massage on my table getting a COMPLIMENTARY 30 min session. The content will be primarily for Instagram marketing.
Diversity in ethnicity, body type, and age is a plus… after all, massage is for EVERYONE!
Reach out if you are interested.
Thanks!

I receive a LOT of inquiries from potential clients asking if I’m in a certain city. More often than not it’s a city I’m not actually in BUT it IS listed as one of my travel locations. This site allows us to list up to 6 travel locations. If they are close in proximity to your home base then it doesn’t make you choose dates but simply lists in those cities. There is an option to choose specific dates as well so if you want men to know you’ll be in a specific town during specific times it’s there. I know it can seem frustrating because when you open your phone and search it just shows those listed in the city or zip you choose. You need to open individual profiles to see how far away they actually might be. However, if you simply set your GPS and search for who is closest, a different list pops up. See the difference there?
Why does this site allow for those other travel cities? Well, it’s helpful as a therapist to advertise in different markets. If a place is only an hour or two away and the demand is high, I will plan a visit to see clients in those travel locaitons.
I hope this helps clear up any confusion.
If I’m not close by, at least I’m on your radar. ;-)
-Cheers!

Hello men!
Yup, another year around the sun. I don’t want to get to philosophical but I wanted to give an update as to what is going on and where I’ll be in the future. I wanted to… but I can’t… I just haven’t figured that part out yet.
I’m enjoying the winter here in Vermont and have made some great clients that have braved the snow to come to my cottage in the woods for a session.
I’m here until the beginning of April but then another move is eminent.
I have many options so I’m taking this time to carefully examine them and plan my next adventure.
In the meantime, reach out anytime, and if you are wanting to give me something special for my birthday, simply text me and I’ll send you my VENMO.
I do miss my clients down south and reconnecting with clients in the northeast has been so much fun!

I look forward to this 49th year of mine… I know… next year is a big one!
And to those who have given so much support over the years, you are the best! Not sure what I’d do without you. Much love.

Welcome 2024! I’m exploring Vermont this winter and offering massage here in Newfane. Looking forward to skiing, reading, working out and figuring out the next chapter. As some of you know, I sold my place and left FL to be back in New England. It’s a small little chunk of the country so I can visit all of the bigger cities, but my real reason for Vermont is to get back to winter bliss and reconnect with my favorite season. It’s been too long! As always, I like to take the winter and return to mind and body and get myself in tip top condition. As I inch towards 50 I have to stay on top of that for sure. I look forward to meeting new clients both local and visiting and of course I’ll be back and forth to Massachusetts throughout. Thanks for being patient with all of my delays. Reach out anytime! -M

Well, it took me a while to figure it out, but I will be in Vermont Jan 5 - April 5 this winter! I will have a very private cottage in the woods up in Newfane, if you know the area, you might know where I will be! (It’s at an all male resort that is closed for the season so I’m renting their carraige house - they are supportive of my massage yet I do not have any affiliation with their business. I’m allowed guests/visitors all winter).
This winter enjoy your sessions aside relaxing sounds and wood burning stove. I’ll have complimentary hot cocoa and tea to set the mood. I’m looking forward to this setting and hope to build clientele both local and tourist.
I also took advantage of an Epic Pass so I can ski all winter! It’s been too long and I can’t wait to hit the slopes soon! If you want to ski with me, reach out! Love to share a chairlift!
This is a new chapter as I explore Vermont and hopefully opportunities will present themselves and I will see where this is all going. In December I’m still in Massachusetts finishing some projects with limited time for clients, but, reach out, I may have time and location. Cheers!

I’ve been working on my annual project for a few months and now I’m in rest, recovery, rejuvenate, and rebuild mode. Currently I am looking for a new spot to set up shop for a while this winter in Vermont. I look forward to meeting new clients while I hit the slopes and the hot tubs in the snow. Please watch for new info about my location, and as always, while in New England, outcalls are always a possibility.
Each winter I try to recenter and refocus on my goals BEFORE the new year so that I have structured plans and ideas and this year is unlike any other. This move back north is giving me a boost of energy and an optimism about the next chapter that I am very excited about.
I look forward to telling you more about all of this as it unfolds over the next few weeks.

I’m packing and moving this week and do not have any time to see clients. Look for me in the North East. I will not be returning to or visiting FL in the near future. If you follow me, you’ll know where to look for me as I start a new chapter! Cheers!

Most of my clients have been aware that I have been planning my FL departure, but I’m not sure some knew it might happen so quickly! I sold my place and will be headed north Labor Day weekend. August is the last month I will be offering massage in Wilton Manors. BUT, you can look for me in New England this fall with new studio and travel available. I have had the pleasure of meeting such wonderful guys through massage here so please reach out anytime.

If you are interested in a massage table let me know, I have an extra one I’m leaving behind.

Working on clients is often intense work and I find myself in need of massage. Specifically my shoulders and lower back. I have used several therapists in my vacinity but I thought I would mix it up and try someone new.
I can’t believe how non-responsive some of these guys are… and on top of that, some are so expensive I am shocked. After of few hours of weeding through the selection I did find one, but alas, I was very disappointed in just about everything they provided. There were red flags from the beginning but I just gave the benefit of the doubt and I committed to the session. I’m only writing this in a blog because this site doesn’t let fellow therapists give reviews, otherwise I would be doing just that but I don’t think they let anyone give zero stars. I couldn’t wait for the end but was so in need of a massage I was torn. The entire situation was so sad to me that I ended up paying in full and silently feeling some pity. It is no wonder why guys stick to therapists they know. Live and learn. The two I have had good sessions with in the past are Terry and Joe and I’ll go back to them next time depending on availability. And now my shoulders are still aching.

Hello my friends! I wanted to apologize for the hectic month of May. I was traveling north for some of the month and now giving myself this long weekend to reenergize. BUT, I will be back on Tuesday and ready for you all!

Last year I went north for the summer but I wanted to reach out and assure you that I’ll be in WIlton Manors for the summer. So I will be sure ready to take care of you for the next FOUR months!

As some of you know, I really do not enjoy the heat, BUT, I’m focusing on my diet, body, and mind this summer so I look forward to my quiet space. A summer of self-love, introspection and focus.

So if your summer suggests you need some self care, be sure to let me know.
Cheers!

I have had several clients strike up conversations with me about genital jewelry. Sometimes it is because they are wearing some or take some off, and sometimes I forget I have some on! Ha! The interesting part of it is that I feel like we are all curious about it but often too shy or we don’t want to spend too much money exploring. I know that I have spent all sorts of money and efforts trying to find stuff that fits properly and I continue to explore. Sometimes I think it would be easy to have a sort of tupperware party and have guys bring over their box of “this didn’t work out but I don’t want to throw it out” stuff, and yes, we all have a box of that stuff, and we could all try items on and maybe find something new or the proper sizing. Recently, I finally sized myself the proper glans rings and I found a great cockring that fits my junk. And I will keep exploring as there are all sorts of things to try! Maybe I’ll wear my SS ball weights today! It’s great to meet guys that enjoy exploring this decorative world and if you are ever on my table, be sure to ask to try on some stuff if you like! Maybe you’ll find something shiny that becomes your new favorite! Cheers!

I’m so sorry I’ve been away for a few days. I needed some personal time to decompress and recharge. I will be back booking appointments starting tomorrow. Thank you to everyone for your patience and understanding. See you soon!

In conclusion…

These have been just some helpful hints to make sure you get the appointment. I have enjoyed building trusting relationships with my clientele and we share a lot with each other, but not in our initial texts.
And yes, I’ve had all of these flags presented to me and sometimes those texts have become actual clients! But I did have my doubts and it may be why you’re having a hard time getting an appointment.

Finally, as massage therapists on this site, we put ourselves out there. Our pics and info, our address, and most importantly, our service. I wrote this series of blogs in part because it can be humorous, but mostly in efforts to make the entire booking process easier and respectful. I really do hope all of this has been helpful.

Thanks for reading! See you on the table. Cheers!

3. Long back stories. Or what I call… “reasons I’ll probably cancel.” Don’t send all sorts of information about how long the drive may be, or that you can’t leave your dog for too long, or you have never done this before but it’s always been on your mind. While these may be true, they are flags, do not lead with them. When you book an oil change you don’t give the mechanic any of this info, do you?
4. Saying your regular massage guy moved away and/or you get multiple massages per month. Flag, flag, flag. Any attempts to lure or entice with the guarantee of steady bookings is a flag. If you DO book often, just do that. It’s like telling the waiter you’re a great tipper. Actions speak louder than words.

All that being said, communication is great and very much appreciated, but…

5. Endless texts are a huge red flag. You can learn all about each other after the session is booked and/or during the appointment. The key is to cut to the chase and book it.
6. Constant cancellations. If you have booked several times and constantly cancelled, the therapist doesn’t have much faith in your reliability and will probably fill that time with another client.

(Part 4, the finale… next)

As mentioned in Part 1, you may not know you are sending flags, so here are a few to avoid.

1. Asking for discounts. This is a huge red flag and I would be surprised if you will ever get anything booked. The “it doesn’t hurt to ask” rule does not apply. This is considered disrespectful regardless of your reasoning.
2. There is no need to send pictures, stats, or age. Unless you are worried about weight restrictions or health considerations, a true therapist should not be deterred or prompted to book based on this info. This doesn’t always give trust (it is often followed by asking for discounts). There is no need to ‘normalize’ yourself to book, it’s a massage appointment, not a hostage negotiation. After your session is booked and confirmed you may send just as a heads up, but don’t lead with it.

(Part 3 up next…)

Replying to inquiries and potential bookings is a large part of being a therapist. I try to be prompt, concise, and professional. But we live on the internet here so it’s par for the course that trolls creep into the equation. Having years of experience, it becomes very easy to spot when several red flags show up. You might be presenting yourself as a troll when in fact you are just living with innocent ignorance. Let me help you avoid pitfalls when inquiring about bookings (not just for me, but for my colleagues as well).
1. In your first text/email say what you are looking for and a DATE, if texting, include therapist profile name so you know who you texted. Example: Hey Matt, I’m looking for 60 min therapeutic today (or say, Thursday).
2. Upon getting a reply, there may be times or openings suggested based on availability.
3. Book it and get the specifics on location and/or parking if needed.
That’s all there is to it.
Every therapist is different when it comes to STYLE, take the time to review this site’s FAQ/Help/About sections for guidelines and look over “about me” sections of therapists as they may have details in their profile.
(Part 2 coming soon…)

This week can be a very challenging one emotionally. Valentine’s Day can be very triggering. It is hard to avoid all of the heart shapped boxes and cupid cut outs all over every store, restaurant, and medical office. Medical offices in particular for some reason, they just love any weird holiday. Our society is fixated on forcing everyone to think the only way is to be pair-bonded. Even the cost of living is set to benefit married or coupled people. It’s a lot less expensive to split a cable bill or rent for that matter if you’re with someone. How about that cell phone second line? Yup, super cheap. But getting those breaks cuts both ways. When your roommate loses their job you have to pick up the slack or when your husband’s expensive habits cuts into your fun money.
So this week, rejoice in flying solo. You earn what you earn and spend in on just yourself. Sure things might be a little more expensive, but it’s all for you. Today, you don’t have to spend fifty dollars on roses or thirty on chocolates. No everpriced dinner or champage. Well maybe some champagne.
This week spend a little more on yourself. You’ve earned it and deserve it!

Today is my birthday! I just updated my age on here and yes it is correct at 48. This year, I actually feel a little younger! Since the fall I’ve been working on my overall health (mental and physical) and when 2023 started, I really did feel more invigorated and energized. My weight is down and my muscles are up. My anxiety has calmed and my sleep has improved. I took some of my own advice and started treating myself every now and then. I’m still on a bit of a journey as I’m trying to shed a few more fat pounds and build my muscles some more, but, we are always on those endless paths, so I don’t put too much pressure on myself, just as long as I keep my goals in mind. I’ll keep adding newer photos each month to keep you all up to speed with my progress.
Thank you to all of my wonderful clients for treating me well, especially over the last week and upcoming, your generosity does not go without thanks and appreciation. To others, did you know you can gift your favorite therapist with a month of ads? Well now I do too! Thanks!!
See you on my table soon and here is to my 48th! Cheers!

Sorry I haven’t been “available” on this site. This week I was hit by a bit of a head cold. I’m finally feeling normal again but this lingering cough may take another day to shake. Ugh. I did take COVID tests along the way to see if it was some wacky new strain that my current boosters may be battling, but nope, no COVID, just a nasty little cold. It wasn’t all so bad. It was a nice break from being so busy over the holidays. Just another reminder that our bodies need downtime, healing, and rest. And now, back to our regular scheduled programming.

Hey guys, thanks for all of the kind words on my fun Christmas pic. I figured I’d do something goofy for the holidays. Not that I haven’t dabbled in some disciplinary acts but that’s another story.
I’ll keep this up until after the new year begins and I’m still looking for a photographer to help jazz up my ads. Please reach out if you can help or suggest any one you trust.
As we close out 2022, let’s not forget to take care of our own mental health. If you feel down around this time of year, please reach out. Sometimes simple connection and empathy is all it takes to change your spirit for the better.
Cheers!
