Can confirm.  Back in his LA days it was a huge mark up for Deli fare with his huge penis.

He’s bisexual and a great masseur. Definitely worth the visit. 

I know Rob and he’s a prince. The real deal. Super sweet and respectful and the opposite of a flake. He’s an artist that lives in Sacramento and does travel a fair bit. Highly recommend. Looks like his pix. I’m jealous of his amazing genes. 

No, that’s not true. 99% of the time the person who shows up is the person in the photos. It may be their best photos, but it is actually the person. This guy has no relationship to the photos whatsoever. None. Absolutely none. 
And there are bigger problems. Let’s just say the NYPD are involved.  
 
 

Certainly looks great with his legs in the air!

Sorry to hear that, hopefully it’s all healed. I see Adrian

The reviewer that have him $900 is a fucking idiot. 

I don't think it will have any effect on the escorting business. 
I'm not amazed by this. From time to time, we have threads on here about perceived, potential issues with law enforcement. It stems from fear of being caught doing something naughty, like having sex with another man. I knew a guy who believed that if he paid for a book about coming out with a credit card, "they" would be able to use the transaction record to inform his employer that he bought said book. He never could explain who "they" were, nor could he explain why his employer would care. 
 

agree.  
and play frequent enough, well - it’s pretty much a certainty
current terminology is STI, not STD

You play, you pay. It’s just the way it is. A masseur can only do so much. They can’t test between every client. The potential list is very long. And the more interactive you are with your masseur, the greater the risk. May as well list the most common infectious ones…

RSV
Monkey Pox

I’ve had gonorrhea twice, once confirmed from a masseur because he was a stand up guy and called to alert me he had tested positive. 

Saw him in Philly a while back.  Great fit guy. Very good masseur.  Cool vibe. Client focused. Nice experience.  Would def repeat ! 

Agreed. I really do not think it’s about getting a bigger tip.  Maybe the guy is just aroused . Or yes maybe he is acting out of habit and it’s his usual process. If you like the guy and feel comfortable, then go with the flow. Don’t overthink it!   If you truly have  strong boundaries for some reason ( like loyalty to a partner) then yes just be clear up front as you have been and hope he respects that.  He should!

Nick is a wonderful kisser.  Beautiful guy.

In my experience, most providers welcome hearing what you're looking for in advance.  Just ask the guys you're interested in if they are open to kissing and I bet you'll get an honest answer.  Also I'm a huge Essentiall fan as well!  I always leave his studio satisfied!!

Whoa!!  If he comes to NYC, I'll need an ATM in my apartment.  😍

Highly recommend. Great masseur !!  You will def not go wrong with Chris. 

I tip generously at a studio where the masseur is not the owner. 
I've made a great connection with a masseur from a studio and we meet outside his work. We agreed to a standard fee. I don't tip but I often buy a gift card for coffee or other items. I'd give these gifts randomly and never after a massage. 
 

Another way to reward him is to schedule many new appointments, whereas those that suck you don't go back to and write a warning here. Informed markets are good markets.

Typically no. But you seem to be confusing people who work a full day with professions that may only see one or two clients a day...and days where there are NO clients.
You also have to consider the market. Even if someone DID make $180k annually ..in NYC that's a middle class lifestyle at best.
But again. Nobody is saying you must feel obligated to tip for regular service with a private provider, if you're that jealous of the fact that their hour is worth more than your hour.

I think it's good to revisit this topic from time to time, nothing wrong with it. The world keeps changing, plus there are new folks who may be wondering whether $$$ numbers in older threads are still valid.

Dentists, Lawyers and Contractors are generally viewed as well-paid professionals. So correct, no one thinks of tipping them for service.
Masseurs aren't typically viewed as being in this category. You may find their fee to be high for the hour but many people forget that this isn't the kind of job where you're seeing clients all day/ every day
So that $ 250 for the hour may be the only hour he/she is paid for that day.
So tipping for this type of provider is ( in the United States ) fairly common.  Although as I stated previously, if the provider is taking the whole fee, you aren't technically obligated to tip for ordinary service.

You are free to do whatever you want. No one is forcing you not to tip either. I choose to tip selectively and do so at my discretion. Isn't choice a beautiful thing? Diversity of opinions too.

Curious what the norms on tipping are for the various massage offerings are in NYC for 1) the asian massage places 2) private therapist if it's a guy you meet on one of the massage sites (masseurfinder) or 3) an escort. 

Mainly curious abt the massage storefronts where the massages are $65-$80/hour and a tip is not negotiated. Like is a standard 20% even on those or is it expected to give more if extras are given but not negotiated?  Bit of a newbie to those massage store places and the few times i thought I tipped well, the guys always gave looks of disappointment making the exit feel weird.  The other day, I have $25 tip for a $65 massage and felt like I got dirty looks. 

Interesting post. I don’t know the Pacific NorthWest well, but I would have thought that your skill set would be in great demand.
As a client and total top, I’ve always valued highly a devoted cocksucker and cum-eater. When I was single and between boyfriends, I’d run an explicit profile online and I had plenty of providers contact me.
I wonder if that approach would work better for you too. Advertise online and state you’re open to one-off meetings with (your preferred characteristics of) a total top. I suspect you’d find plenty of horny guys, both amateurs and providers.
