Aside from the personal information related to the service that I am receiving, I have shared personal information with some providers. I have felt safe doing that. However, for some reason, some providers themselves have given me details about their personal lives without me asking. One of my favorite masseurs have shared quite a lot of personal information about him. I even met his daughter.
Another provider after the session sat with me and had coffee and conversed. We got to know each other a little more. Another extended his friendship and we're friends.
There was this one provider whom I confided quite some intimate details about me. I felt a different connection since he's mixed race like me and his ethnic and religious backgrounds are similar to mine. Again, we went over the accorded time without charging extra.
The opposite is true too. There was this one guy I hired in Barcelona that gave me the creeps and I did not feel comfortable at all with him. It was a massage, and I just shared the minimum, said the minimum and left as soon as the time was up with little small talk.
The rather seedy places where I have been are not conducive to sharing anything. It's all business, so in those situations I care more about my financial, health and personal safety, so no sharing any details about anything.
I guess it depends on the setting. I share similar views, I am "a nobody", meaning that there's no high stakes in divulging information about me, plus people in my circle already know plenty about me anyway. They'd pay to know less, not more.
I refrain to give anyone my credit card or pin numbers, though.

You should not be embarsassed, IMO. Did you display any discomfort? If yes, then the masseur should have asked the second time if it's ok. I look at it this way: Precum is as natural of a body process as it is farting, and I'm sure that the masseur might prefer wiping precum than smelling farts.
I had a masseur who did that, but in his case, I think he did it because he wanted to touch my penis. The reason why I can confidently state that is that I don't precum; there was nothing threre to wipe. I didn't feel violated, and I actually felt good to be liked, and he didn't try anything else after. I wanted a therapeutic-only massage that day, and in all honesty, he looked good, but I wasn't attracted or interested in him.
So yes, it can be a hint to let you know that he's willing to offer more, but it can also be just part of the process. If you want to see him again, will you feel comfortable inquiring about it, maybe expressing how you felt? I don't see much wrong with talking about it in a provate session.

I don't think that this is a regulated profession, so what I do is that I pay the regular amount unless he brings up that there's a new rate. When there's a new rate, I may or may not agree to pay, and sometimes I agree to the higher rate but give less or no tip, depending. Inflation is out of control in USA, so we all have to be mindful of our expenses, especially us the working class.
