SINGAPORE — What began as an unexplained and deeply unpleasant discovery on a massage bed eventually turned into one of the strangest client encounters a Singapore masseur says he has experienced — involving repeated incidents, plastic bags and an alleged habit that extended beyond the massage room.
Rudy, a 34-year-old masseur who runs independent massage service Sky Touch Therapy, recently recounted the incident on an episode of the Dear Straight People podcast.
According to Stomp, the encounter itself dates back to 2018, even though Rudy’s account resurfaced publicly through the podcast in August 2026.
It Started With Three Pieces Left on the Massage Bed
Rudy told Stomp that the client was about 25 years old at the time and appeared, in his words, young, decent and “nerdy”.
After their first massage session, Rudy reportedly stepped away while the client got dressed.
When he returned, however, he said he discovered three pieces of faeces on the massage bed.
Rudy initially chose not to confront the customer. Because he had been using a disposable bedsheet, he cleaned up the area and moved on.
Then the client returned roughly a month later.
According to Rudy, the same thing happened again.
That second incident convinced him that what he was seeing might not have been accidental.
On the Third Visit, Rudy Decided to Watch More Closely
When the man booked another massage, Rudy reportedly followed his usual routine after the treatment and left the client alone to dress.
This time, however, he did not go far.
Rudy said he waited only about five seconds before reopening the door.
What he claims he saw changed his understanding of the previous incidents.
According to his account on the podcast, the client was beside his bag and appeared to be taking something from a ziplock bag containing a large quantity of prepared pieces of faecal matter.
Rudy said the discovery made him angry and he confronted the client.
Client Allegedly Gave an Even Stranger Explanation
Rudy said the man apologised and explained that the behaviour was connected to what he described as a fetish involving leaving faeces or urine in places as a way of “marking” territory.
But the explanation allegedly became more disturbing.
According to Rudy’s recollection, the client claimed that the material he carried was not necessarily his own.
Rudy said the man told him that he would sometimes obtain faeces from public toilets.
The client allegedly also claimed that he had left pieces in other locations, including trains and a school.
Those claims have not been independently verified, and Stomp’s report does not state that authorities confirmed the alleged incidents. They therefore remain allegations related by Rudy about what the client supposedly told him.
Why This Is More Than Just a Bizarre Story
Beyond the shock value, deliberately handling and depositing human waste can create a genuine hygiene concern.
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says human faeces can contain disease-causing organisms including Salmonella, E. coli and norovirus. Germs can then be transferred from contaminated hands or surfaces to other people.
Norovirus, for example, can spread when microscopic faecal particles contaminate surfaces, food or hands. The CDC advises thorough cleaning and disinfection when an area becomes contaminated with faecal material.
That makes Rudy’s account particularly concerning if the client’s alleged claims about leaving material in public places were accurate.
Singapore Law Also Has Rules Against Leaving Filthy Matter in Public Places
There is also a potential legal dimension, although there is no indication in the Stomp report that the client in Rudy’s story was arrested or prosecuted.
Singapore’s Environmental Public Health Act 1987 prohibits people from depositing or leaving various forms of refuse and other material in public places outside designated receptacles.
Section 17 also specifically prohibits scattering or throwing offensive or filthy matter in a way that causes it to fall into a public place. Contravening the provision can constitute an offence.
Whether any particular alleged act described by Rudy would amount to an offence would depend on the circumstances and evidence, so it would be inappropriate to conclude from the podcast alone that a crime occurred.
Rudy Says Strange Encounters Are Part of the Job
The incident was apparently exceptional even by Rudy’s standards, but he told Stomp that unusual encounters are not entirely uncommon in his work.
He estimated that he encounters around five to 10 situations each year that he considers unusual.
After a clip of the interview was shared online, viewers reacted with a mixture of disbelief, disgust and dark humour. Some commenters also questioned whether the alleged behaviour should have been reported to police.
The episode itself forms part of Dear Straight People’s coverage of Rudy’s experiences working as a masseur in Singapore. The platform’s Patreon archive lists an August 2026 feature titled “The Secret Life of a Gay Masseur In Singapore.”
For now, however, one distinction matters: the extraordinary details surrounding the unidentified client come from Rudy’s recollection of an incident eight years ago, rather than from police records or independent eyewitness verification.
That doesn’t make his story any less startling — but it does make careful attribution essential.
