@TectonicThrust you’re welcome! It sounds like you are simply trying to convey in images what might be difficult to put into words to request directly of your provider. It seems like you’re wanting to express the elements you want included rather than reenact the video frame by frame. 
We deal with this stuff every day. We know what men like and we read body language to figure out what particular buttons to push for each one, because everyone is a little bit different. We can’t read minds though.
Far and away, the best way to get those elements you want is to ask for them directly. Use words like rimming, fingering, prostate massage, jerk me off, stimulate my nipples, edge me, and so on and so forth. You can get more descriptive as needed, but really that’s all we need to know. It may be awkward or uncomfortable, but it’s not a big deal. We’re adults. We want you to be happy and therefore be more likely to return, tip, review, and refer. The best way to give you what you want is to know what you want, and for that you have to tell us.
The video is not necessarily a bad thing considering your intent. I would caveat by explaining I like “x” or can you include “y”? And then point out specific things. That way we’re not interpreting that you want a reenactment of the whole porn style massage. You could use the video to help you talk through the elements you want to incorporate. If that helps you find the words, go for it.
If your provider doesn’t offer a particular thing, better to know that upfront. Likewise if he does offer it, but possibly for an extra fee, or under his escort rate, best to work that out before you begin. It may be included, but now he knows just what to do to please you.
Ask for what you want. It’s not as scary or complicated as you might imagine. We’re professionals. We won’t clutch our pearls.

When I’m getting a massage - I just mention that “I’m clean down there”.

Thank you @Simon Suraci for your reply. Wow. I’m so appreciative of the time and thought that you and others take to answer our questions. I realize that I need to get beyond my comfort zone and better articulate in person what I like. I see now that sending a video could actually send the wrong messages as I didn’t even think that the masseur would conclude that this was all I wanted. I really meant that these are the erotic elements I would like incorporated in addition to the therapeutic massage. I also wouldn’t want the masseur to think I only wanted a 30 min when I booked 60 or 90. Communication is key as in any relationship. I also take to heart your other tips and opinions. 

You’re seeking an escort service… with educated massage role play. This is easier than waiting until the will we/won’t we moment on the table. 
There are quite a few escorts in LA who also are really good masseurs. In the escort ad, see if they have sports massage or BODYWORK available. If they also have a masseur ad, look for some indication of training, and at least 5yr experience. They’re often open to a session that combines both bodywork and play, but you will pay the escort rate (based on what takes place in the video) Ask if they have a table if there isn’t one in photos. Good luck! 

I list my age  on RM as mid 60's so I leave you guessing as to the truth.   Once past the initial agreement, which is usually a week before the date, I do identify myself as older, also admit to having ED.  Never had a problem with an escort.  But if he were to cancel, I would look at it being for the best, don't want to waste my limited opportunities to hire to be ruined on a guy who is so judgmental.  

I recognise this. I don’t use hookup apps (used to, but I got bored of it). But if I’m having sex outside of my work then I’ll usually bottom. When I’m working it’s mostly me being top. Doing work that is predominantly sex based does have an impact on your sex life. Even to the extent that sometimes if I’ve met up with a friend for fun I’ll be thinking ‘I’d have charged £x for that’, or I’ll decline a meet because I’m seeing a client later and I want to be ready for them. I’m fine with the work but this is one of the drawbacks. 

^THIS. I get so many messages from potential clients exactly like those examples from @Jamie21. The client inquires and then ghosts. Some of them do the same thing weeks or months later, and ghost again. Sometimes multiple times. I still respond politely and in a timely manner, every time, because it’s my job. Dealing with this stuff is part of the work, and not letting the frustration get to me. A lot of providers just don’t have the patience for it.

Amazing guy. Very sweet. Every time I get on his table, I often think, wow, why don't I come and see him more often? Great, intentional, strong touch. Priced under market, so it's definitely worth the drive. 

I’d have no problem with that. I like to know what clients would like to be included although I think it’s important to keep an element of the unknown; if the massage is too choreographed it’s less exciting.
Before the massage starts I always ask if there’s any part of my client I should avoid, some people say what they don’t want touched (if there is anywhere it’s usually either their head, feet or their bum hole). If they say nothing is off limits then I feel internal massage is ok. Usually if you just apply a bit of pressure with your finger there they’ll open up for you if they want it inside 🙂
If you specifically want to have your prostate massaged as in that example video it’s important to ask. Some clients are quite embarrassed or coy about describing what they want so I’d say it’s a good idea to send a video and say “something like that please”. Most masseurs who do sensual or erotic massage will welcome this. 
 

 
 

Wouldn’t that depend heavily on where the OP and the masseur are based?
It seems to me that such a video would be rather compelling evidence if law enforcement became involved…

Trying to hire a provider for services they advertise by contacting them is perfectly normal. Following up or asking again is also normal, especially if they haven’t got back to you from the first time you reached out.
If they haven’t got back to you by the second or third time you reached out, it’s safe to say move on. It’s good business for a provider to respond within a reasonable timeframe, even if it’s only to say, “sorry I am booked up for the day you requested, but here are the next times I am available”, something like that.
No response past a reasonable timeframe might indicate they are already overwhelmed with business and don’t need/want yours. Or they’re poor communicators, or flaky, or any number of things you probably don’t want in a provider anyways. It’s a bad sign. If they can’t do you the courtesy of responding, you probably shouldn’t hire them. Keep in mind sometimes it can take hours or the next morning for a provider to respond. Days without a response is unacceptable.
Here are some scenarios that a provider might choose not respond to: Demanding dick/ass/nude pics, especially if the provider is not an escort, or if all of these are posted publicly online. Writing impatient or angry remarks in all caps because the provider was working and did not immediately respond to a text within minutes. Rude or disrespectful comments, racist/sexist and similar remarks. Incomprehensible texts. Texts that seem like someone is drunk/high (it has to be pretty bad for that to shine through over a text). Texts in a language the provider doesn’t speak. Texts asking the same questions over and over, that the provider has already answered. Unreasonable requests, for example: asking a provider to travel hundreds of miles away within a few hours, for a 1-hr appointment, with no previously planned travel arrangements. If you’re communicating something that’s a big red flag to the provider, that may be the reason.
Any of the above merit some response, even if it’s a brief statement saying the provider can’t/won’t see the client. A lot of providers just don’t have the patience or emotional willpower to do this, however. Not a good excuse, but it happens.
Some known clients are blacklisted for being violent, not paying, or for other legitimate reasons. Sometimes it’s best for a provider to not to engage at all with someone they know is problematic based off the lists or other intel telling them the client is bad.
If you’re being normal and reasonable and the provider is not responding, it’s their loss. You’re paying, so that’s lost business for them, and an opportunity for the client to seek out a more reliable, responsive provider who wants their business and is willing and able to work hard to get it.
‘Stalker’ may not be the best operative word for what I think you mean. When I hear stalker, I think someone is going out of their way to invade my personal space, find out where I live, where I work (i.e. at a day job), research and track down my family, unearth sensitive personal information, threaten me, follow my movements in public, harass me, and so on. Same goes for harassing over text, or being aggressive, not respecting ‘no’ for an answer, demanding things, trying to contact me after being blocked on multiple platforms, and similar obsessive behaviors.
If you’ve reached out multiple times with no response, and you’re not ticking any of the red flag boxes, you’re definitely not a stalker, but I would seriously consider hiring another provider. Professionalism and respect are the minimum a client should expect in a good provider.

I avoid establishing a hard line rule of # of hours to be considered a reasonable period of time. It varies, with something reasonable falling between 2-hrs and 24 hrs. Your provider could be on a flight with no reception when you text. Or sleeping during the night, or at their day job if they have one. They could be in a remote place with little to no reception for a time. Who knows. Most providers in most normal situations will get back to you within a few hours or less if they are going to respond at all.
If a client wants to meet a particular provider, I highly recommend booking ahead a few days, or at least 24 hrs in advance. That puts you in a priority position so others have to book around your appointment or otherwise be out of luck because you planned ahead.
If the client has a very limited window of availability, such as only a few hours after meetings while on a business trip in the provider’s city, then I recommend booking a week or more ahead, at least a few days. It’s unlikely the provider will be available during that particular limited window on short notice that same day/night.
If your first choice provider does not respond within a reasonable time, you can safely assume it’s unlikely to work and move on to contacting alternate ones. If your schedule is more flexible on day/time and you’re both in the same city for a period of time, it may be worth trying again. If they don’t respond at all, bad sign, move on.
If you’re wanting company from any number of providers and you don’t particularly care which one exactly you are going to see, by all means, feel free to contact multiple for that same day/night, same hour / “right now” and see who responds. Some of them may be available on short notice and some won’t.
Keep in mind when texting a provider same day or short notice, you’re asking in so many words if the provider is available to respond to your text at that very moment (or within that reasonable period of time after your text) AND available to fulfill your appointment time request which may only be a couple hours after that. In total, you might be asking for the provider to be “available”in some sense for half a day, from start to finish from the time you first text to the time to get ready, time for either of you to travel, to the time the appointment actually ends. Plus travel time after the appointment ends, if applicable. That’s a lot to ask of a provider on short notice. Sometimes you luck out and it works out just that easy. Oftentimes not. Which is why I recommend booking ahead, at least 24 hrs. More is better whenever possible.
Planning ahead buys you a much better chance of getting exactly what you want with who you want, when you want. If your provider doesn’t respond within a day, you have the extra time to request alternates.

This is Edras, my favorite massage therapist, hands down, of anyone I’ve ever seen in my life to date. He does excellent therapeutic work. He used to be in San Diego and was my regular. He’s in La Habra (LA metro) now.
He’s one of the nicest, sweetest, kindest, most dedicated, attentive, hard working, and reasonably priced therapists. I miss seeing him in San Diego. La Habra is kind of out of the way, even for LA folks, but I want to give an unsolicited shout out to him. He’s definitely worth a long drive from another area of LA or from other cities in CA just to see him.
This shouldn’t matter, and it doesn’t, but for most of you I know it does. He used to be heavier. Always thought he was damn sexy, with a bearish build, hairy, and naturally very masculine. Looking at his updated profile pics, he’s built up quite a fit body. Even sexier now in all the superficial ways even though his real sex appeal is his good nature and generous spirit. Highly recommend!
Note, he’s therapeutic only. Do please respect his boundaries. These are not erotic massage or sex work rates he’s charging. Seriously though, one of the best massages ever!
Also he’s mentioned on this older thread:
 

I also used to see Edras in San Diego and agree with all comments/info from  @Simon Suraci. Edras gives a really great therapeutic massage for a very reasonable rate. I may visit him when I’m in the LA Metro area... And thanks for making me aware he’s nearby.

LA Metro sounds like it's a part of LA that's accessible by the train...looks like a cool guy and I would take a therapeutic-only guy who's great over a rub and tug any day of the week. 
Alas, I'm in LA/Hollywood and he doesn't seem close. But if I'm ever out that way...

Which is why I recommend booking ahead, at least 24 hrs. More is better whenever possible.
Planning ahead buys you a much better chance of getting exactly what you want with who you want, when you want. If your provider doesn’t respond within a day, you have the extra time to request alternates.
 

I avoid establishing a hard line rule of # of hours to be considered a reasonable period of time. It varies, with something reasonable falling between 2-hrs and 24 hrs. Your provider could be on a flight with no reception when you text. Or sleeping during the night, or at their day job if they have one. They could be in a remote place with little to no reception for a time. Who knows. Most providers in most normal situations will get back to you within a few hours or less if they are going to respond at all.
If a client wants to meet a particular provider, I highly recommend booking ahead a few days, or at least 24 hrs in advance. That puts you in a priority position so others have to book around your appointment or otherwise be out of luck because you planned ahead.
If the client has a very limited window of availability, such as only a few hours after meetings while on a business trip in the provider’s city, then I recommend booking a week or more ahead, at least a few days. It’s unlikely the provider will be available during that particular limited window on short notice that same day/night.
If your first choice provider does not respond within a reasonable time, you can safely assume it’s unlikely to work and move on to contacting alternate ones. If your schedule is more flexible on day/time and you’re both in the same city for a period of time, it may be worth trying again. If they don’t respond at all, bad sign, move on.
If you’re wanting company from any number of providers and you don’t particularly care which one exactly you are going to see, by all means, feel free to contact multiple for that same day/night, same hour / “right now” and see who responds. Some of them may be available on short notice and some won’t.
Keep in mind when texting a provider same day or short notice, you’re asking in so many words if the provider is available to respond to your text at that very moment (or within that reasonable period of time after your text) AND available to fulfill your appointment time request which may only be a couple hours after that. In total, you might be asking for the provider to be “available”in some sense for half a day, from start to finish from the time you first text to the time to get ready, time for either of you to travel, to the time the appointment actually ends.

This is Edras, my favorite massage therapist, hands down, of anyone I’ve ever seen in my life to date. He does excellent therapeutic work. He used to be in San Diego and was my regular. He’s in La Habra (LA metro) now.
He’s one of the nicest, sweetest, kindest, most dedicated, attentive, hard working, and reasonably priced therapists. I miss seeing him in San Diego. La Habra is kind of out of the way, even for LA folks, but I want to give an unsolicited shout out to him. He’s definitely worth a long drive from another area of LA or from other cities in CA just to see him.
This shouldn’t matter, and it doesn’t, but for most of you I know it does. He used to be heavier. Always thought he was damn sexy, with a bearish build, hairy, and naturally very masculine. Looking at his updated profile pics, he’s built up quite a fit body. Even sexier now in all the superficial ways even though his real sex appeal is his good nature and generous spirit. Highly recommend!
Note, he’s therapeutic only. Do please respect his boundaries. These are not erotic massage or sex work rates he’s charging. Seriously though, one of the best massages ever!
Also he’s mentioned on this older thread:
