Frequently asked questions by masseur finders.

What exactly do you offer?

Good question. I’m a Certified Touch Therapist and Masseur offering touch, connection, companionship, and opportunities for community to men, regardless of sexual orientation, behavior, or identity. Clients can choose from the following massage styles: Swedish/Relaxation; Deep Tissue; Sensual; or Tantric massage experiences, or even try a Massage and Cuddle Therapy combo.

I’m a public figure/on the Down Low - how do you ensure discretion?

Discretion is very important to me and your privacy is sacrosanct. It is essential to your business, as it is to mine. I am often asked about my famous clients. My typical response is that I cannot say, and it would be unethical for me to divulge that information. I will not acknowledge or speak to you in public outside of our time together unless you initiate contact. I will respond to you as I would a stranger.

I’m also more than happy to sign a non-disclosure agreement if that would make you more comfortable.

How can I tailor the massage for me?

This is YOUR session. If you want anything changed: pressure, areas worked, position or if you are too hot or too cold ... please let me know! My feelings won’t be hurt by you asking for something that will make you more comfortable. I want this to be the best experience for you to relax and enjoy. Also, what you requested in one session may be different in another. If you had a full body massage last time, but this time you only want your back/neck/shoulders/arms worked, it's perfectly fine to let me know.

Should I undress completely?

You should undress to the level you are comfortable. For a full body massage, or a sensual massage most get completely undressed. However, if you will be more comfortable during the session if you leave your underwear on, that's fine. I will work around the clothes you left on as best as I can. If removing all your clothes makes you too nervous and unable to relax, then you are not getting the optimal benefit from the session. I will give you privacy to undress and get comfortable on the table.

What if I am self-conscious about certain parts of my body?

If you’re uncomfortable with getting a specific area treated don’t be embarrassed to mention it to me. I can avoid those areas. I will typically ask you before I begin your massage.

Can I talk during my session?

Sure, if you'd like to talk go right ahead. The important thing to remember is that this treatment is all about you relaxing and enjoying the experience. In many instances, people may feel more relaxed starting off talking, and as the massage progresses, enter quiet states of relaxation. The important issue here is that there are times when you need to speak up. If I am doing anything that is making you uncomfortable, please let me know immediately. Also, let me know if you get too warm or too cold, if the room is too bright, or if the pressure needs to be changed (lighter or deeper). If something is not working for you it’s perfectly ok to let me know!

What if I get an erection during my massage?

It means everything is working! Yet, most men avoid massage for fear this will happen to them. Or, they get a massage but are unable to relax because of this fear. But there is no reason to be embarrassed. It is entirely normal get an erection even during a non-sexual, therapeutic, full body massage. Touch administered to any part of the body can activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which can result in a partial or complete erection. Besides, what’s an erection between men? We all get them. Just relax and enjoy the massage.

What do I do during a M4M massage treatment?

Make yourself comfortable. If I need you to adjust your position, I will either move you, or ask you to move what is needed. Otherwise, change your position anytime to make yourself more comfortable. Many people close their eyes and relax completely during a session; others prefer to talk. It's up to you. It is your massage, and whatever feels natural to you is the best way to relax.

What can I expect at my M4M massage session?

You can expect to receive an excellent, and relaxing massage combined with sensual elements, if you so choose. I will use established massage techniques together with sensual touch during your massage and I generally allow mutual touch. Do not hesitate to ask questions at any time. (You can also read my blog on gay massage etiquette).

Why do you only work on men?

I fill the niche for men who prefer the touch of other men for bodywork regardless of sexual orientation.

Is a M4M massage suitable for a straight man?

Absolutely! It is, first and foremost, a massage like you would get anywhere else, preformed by an experienced masseur. You get to choose how sensual — or not — you want your experience to be. Your sexuality is your own business and I won’t ask. Nothing in the world can ‘make you gay’. Whether you want to call it ‘m4m massage’, ‘men’s massage’, or ‘gay massage’, it’s all the same to me. You can read my blog post about this. This is a judgment-free zone and you will be incomplete control at all times. You can be as involved or not as you want, so you will not be made to do anything you’d rather not do.

What’s the difference between erotic and sensual massage? Do you practice ‘erotic massage’?

Massage is in itself inherently sensual. The main difference between a regular and ‘sensual’ massage is intent. Sensual massage is still a regular massage, but there are just fewer boundaries on how I touch you. I can provide more of a sensual session with erotic elements. (See my blog post about this). But those elements vary depending on how well the client and I interact, communicate, and what boundaries are agreed on before the session. When requesting a session, I’d rather you not discuss your sexual fantasies with me through text, or over the phone. I always prefer to discuss boundaries in person.

Do you offer sex as part of the massage?

I do not offer sex with clients.

What forms of payment to do you accept?

Cash is preferred but I also accept Venmo, CashApp, Zelle and all major credit cards (with a $5 surcharge).

When are you available?

My online booking tool shows the latest available slots. You can also text or call 213.588.4242 for special requests.

Where are you located?

I am located in Hollywood on the corner of Waring Avenue and Wilcox in Los Angeles. I also visit Palm Springs periodically, and on request.

What is so special about Men's Bodywork by Trevor James?

I'm glad you asked! As a certified touch therapist, I believe in the healing power of touch and I focus on your body's reaction to my touch. My promise to you is to be intentional and mindful during our session to give you my full attention.
