Got it.

I don't think that there's any solution to something that I don't think there's anything to solve here. Prices go up, consumers complain about it. Whether the prices are perceived to be up or they are not paying a discount anymore, they are paying more than before, and there's nothing else to do if they complain, other than being irritated.

I am. And?

Neither way shows good customer service skills. of course, no one likes being rejected (unless he has a rejection fetish). You neither have to be rude by blocking, nor being rude by being so crude. Why the black-and-white mindset? Those are not the only ways of handling a customer that you don't want.

Sorry to hear you are irritated over it.

Clients are never going to like having to pay more for any product or service. That's just life.

I saw that his RM profile doesn't include erotic massages, just therapeutic and sensual. He looks legit to me when I see the other pictures. For some reason, the main photo of him does look a little AI-generated, or like a stock image, but that's not the case with the rest.

Sorry that happened to you. I have been asked for my picture, and I felt comfortable sending it because it just felt right within the context in which the request happened. One of them was after I already had the appointment and address. Personally I like keeping my private life private, but I also know very well how to handle bashing, slander, harassment and blackmailing, if that's what they ultimately are after. Seems like those guys were not very professional. However, in a way they saved you possible money you might have wasted on them if that is their attitude. I'm sorry that happened, but I'd just move on. You did nothing wrong; they were unprofessional, as entitled as they are to choose their clients, there are better ways of handling that.

And those standards in this line of work are...?

Maybe he meant to sound like "feel" not "fill".

This is informative to me. I like the different perspectives and advantages, whether they are beneficial to some or not to others. I have been thinking of a premium membership, but I in all honesty, though I have not been able to get a good sense of all my providers, I am learning and have been able to make wiser decisions without the premium membership. I'm still on the fence on it. This is great information.

I agree. Unfortunately this is not exactly a regulated profession that required standards or code of ethics. Even in regulated professions we find bad apples. We certainly need professionals like you. An we should endorse and support them.

I have to thank you guys for this 411. I did not contact him directly, but was offered a 4-hand massage with him in it. I am not interested in 4-hand massages at all, but it's good to know this. Seems like this saved me some grief,

Thank you so very much! Exactly what I was looking for (or so I think).

I agree with this. There will always be people who (a) will miss the point you are trying to make, (b) will disagree, (c) will beat every word typed to death to prove/disprove a minor point, (d) will make it about them or something else, (e) will blame the poster, the admin, (f) will take things literally, and/or (g) will challenge your thoughts, opinions and/or assumptions. Can be annoying at times, but it is a forum where people can express their thoughts (or lack of). Don't let this discourage you from posting. There will always be a Trevor for you.

I know this post is from June, but I met him several times. First, in my opinion, he looks better in person than in the pictures. Second, he is very friendly and believes in remaining in touch, and also offers discounts for future sessions. Third, he also recommends other providers in the area (he works both in Philly and Rehoboth Beach). Fourth, he is very welcoming and accepting of people, doesn't ask for pictures or stats. Fifth, he honors all the time that you paid for. He is over 40, so if you prefer younger guy's he might not be the right one for you, but he was able to recommend me some from the major websites. He knows the industry well, he also knows other providers by experience. He went out of his way to make sure that I received the experience that I wanted, exactly as I wanted it. In one of our appointments he even asked me if I "needed to talk" since he noticed me a little less energetic (I was just very, very tired). I've never been to his studio in Rehoboth, but his studio in Philly is great, private and well set. He's also reasonably priced. He also offered a 4-hand massage, but that's not my thing, so I never had one with him and another provider.

I saw Miguel last 4th of July weekend. His facilities are perfect, private and well setup. He's very friendly and personable. He delivers excellent massage and can go above (or below?) and beyond. I'm new to this forum but if anyone wants details on Miguel, please PM me.

Thanks,

I know this is from a year ago, but want to make sure if this is the same guy. The link takes me to someone based in Philly. Can anyone confirm this guy in Philly is the same person you are referring to in this thread? EnergyMaster on RentMasseur RENTMASSEUR.COM View my profile on RentMasseur.com

Thanks. I haven't been to Chicago in ages, but I'll keep him in mind. Hopefully he travels to places I do too. I have gotten requests for pictures, and only one gave me the impression that he was looking to discriminate, but it seems like he found me pleasant to look at or something, so I saw him for a massage. However, the experience was not that great. I wish he discriminated and I saved the money. The others were very clear, stating that they wanted my picture just to know who they were talking to, or for safety reasons. Both experiences were great (I guess they did like what they saw).

No, cock is not worth all that. At least not to me. And yes, to me it is discrimination, not bordering discrimination. Legal, allowed, can't do anything about it, but discrimination nonetheless. I'm sorry you went through all that. Seems like Trevor saved the day for you.

Right now, Hollywood actors are on strike over protections against use of their image, name and voice to be used for AI-generated content. I'm not sure that actors in the adult media industry are unionized or united enough for that not to happen to them, so yes, I can easily see porn actors getting screwed (in a different way) by exploitation of their images, names and voices to generate content using AI and them not getting any gains from it. I see that being a possibility, them having to use other means for income.

This is an interesting thread. My two cents: I haven't had any experiences that made my personal safety feel threatened. However, I am fairly new to all this and consequently had experiences that were not that great. Mostly dismissive, unprofessional and dissatisfying. I booked this mature gentleman in NYC for an hour, and his place was filthy and in disarray. He was friendly and personable, but a few minutes into our appointment, in come these two guys, visitors of him, he explained, that needed to pass by us to the bedroom where they were staying. Of course, major mood killer. Attempting to get back to business, a few more minutes later I heard them passing again "because they needed the bathroom". I decided to stop, pay and leave. I gave him a bad review, paying close attention to my adjectives and adverbs, attempting at describing the situation as objectively as possible. A few days later, his add disappeared. Then he came back to both websites for escorts and masseurs with a different name. The other one was one of those "donation up front" (as I said, I still consider myself in the learning curve of this) for a 90-minute massage. It was in Columbus, OH. His "massage" setup look more like he was going to perform an illegal abortion, a mattress on the floor and all the furniture covered. I was received with the Steven Wilkos Show blasting on the TV, and his massage materials consisted of some 99 cents store cream. He just rubbed my lower back for about 15 minutes, and here's the worst part. I turned to tell him that my body has other parts than my lower back, and when I turned to talk to him, I saw a camera on the wall, pointing directly at me. Needless to say, my internal reaction was the expected WTF, but my survival instincts told me to slowly, politely and calmly end the session. I did, and we had a friendly departure. Of course, I gave him a bad review, and he replied only to the part of my review that "it was me who ended the session early". At least he didn't accuse me of lying about everything else. Fool me once, shame on you. Lessons learned. In fact, I wish I discovered this site before.

Interesting coincidence. Same thing, I'll be in Sitges and Barcelona this September. I'll be looking for recommendations too.

Personally I don't think that AI is going to replace humans, especially in this type of activity. It might impact the porn industry since it's capable of producing visuals. I believe the impact that it will create might be around misleading and false information. I can see misinformation, false reviews, and even law enforcement using more deepfakes to bust people, being the things that AI will be bringing to this industry.
