The Friendly Masseur

About Me

Hi. My name is Bill and I would ike to invite you to come de-stress on my massage table!

I use Swedish, Esalen, & other relaxing massage techniques to gently relieve you of your stiffness. More concentrated modalities like acupressure, shiatsu, trigger point, and polarity may also be used depending on your tensions & touch style preferences. I use top grade virtually unscented Biotone™ products. I was licensed in massage therapy in the State of New York after completing 1800 hours of massage education at the New York Open Center.

It doesn't matter if you indentify as gay, bi, straight, or curious. You will receive first-rate attention on my massage table. I adhere to the tenets of confidentiality and discretion at all times. I have many regular clients, some who have been with me for several years.  There are testimonials in my website for your perusal. Go to http://www.friendlymasseur.com

I am a thoughtful, manly, friendly, physically fit, guy over 40 w/ strong hands & a gentle firm touch. I am a grounded well educated college graduate with a myriad of interests including design, fitness, wellness, food, politics, & finance. I believe in the art of living & live a very happy and low stress lifestyle. I have been told I have an amiable way with people and a good sense of humor. I am 6ft, 175 lbs, with great overall proportions. I work out 5 or 6 days every week.  Here is a brief video of me talking about the massage:  https://youtu.be/fWocmu3RgTA 

We can be completely quiet during your session, have a lively discussion, or anything in between. I will follow your directive.

Since I have never been into drugs, drinking, or smoking, I am not the right pick for partying or drinking types.

My serene, quiet, private studio is conveniently located one mile from downtown Los Angeles on a low traffic street just above Sunset Blvd in Echo Park. I live a few minutes from the 2, 5, 101, and 110 freeways. Street parking is almost always very easy here. If there is a huge Dodger game or you are mobility restricted, logitics can be arranged for driveway parking but only for a medium or smaller sized vehicle.

In-studio rates:

One hour therapeutic or therapeutic and sensual - $160

One and a half hours - $200

Two hours - $240

Outcall rates:

Outcalls run between $30 and $150 more than the in-studio rates depending on where you are located and your desired session time. Outcalls are subject to availability.

More about rates and fees:

*No personal checks are accepted and I do not process credit cards.  See accpeted forms of payment below.

**I have put a great deal of thought into setting my rates and they are never negotiable. Please don't ask!

To book a session or ask questions, please call me at (323)230-9498 anytime between 10am and 11pm. 

Calling on the phone is best. Short texting exchanges to check availability and arrival logistics are more than welcome. I will respond to complex texts and nuanced questions by immediately calling you on the phone. I'm happy to answer all of your questions verbally but I do not marathon text. Calls or texts that come in that appear questionable, have no caller ID, or other digital red flags will go straight to voicemail. If you want me to call you back, leave a number where you can be reached and that you will pick up.

Thank you for your interest and I hope to meet you very soon!
