Nothing to be ashamed of.  Point it down.  As he watches it grow as he massages your inner thighs from behind could be all the motivation he needs to take things further.

I think I need a trip to London!

I’ll be interested in the providers’ views on whether this is a hint.  The clearer signal might be when you raise your hips when his hands start exploring your upper, inner thighs.

It depends.  If the masseur has me immediately undress and lie on the table, I’ll point it down between my legs for easy access when he gets to that area.  If the masseur has an erotic undressing ritual—and some do—I’ll be too aroused to bend my dick and will have to lie on it until it softens.  Then I adjust it downward.

I know the birthday of one of my providers but only because he moved our appointment to free up the day for a family celebration. Though I know the date, I’ve never reached out or commented on it.  It seems to cross a line that might not be appreciated.

Agree.  Some of the guys on Rentmasseur can be as much fun as those on RM.  It just may take a few meetings of assessing one another before play becomes the focus rather than massage.  

With technology available today, any and all activity taking place in an environment over which you do not possess complete control can become online entertainment for someone else without your consent.
If this provider was upfront, and would still offer a regular private fee-per-hr session in lieu of the two-way mirror thing, great! In my 30's, I might have been confident enough (though still shy) to go along. For exhibitionists, if the free massage is decent, why not??

Never heard of it.  I’m interested in what you learn if you are willing to share.

Here’s the link to the YouTube video.
I haven’t traveled internationally since summer of 2024 and I’ve been avoiding it for the last year and a half.  But, I’ve decide that when I do next, as the plane touches down, I’ll completely power-off my cell phone.  Better than a locked screen, that turns off all biometrics. 
I’ve considered backing my phone up to the cloud and using the phone’s "factory reset” feature then restoring my phone from the cloud at a better time.
Here’s a different video reviewing the best burner phones of 2026.

If you have escorted before you probably know most of this stuff:
 
Guys who make that sort of money work their tails off. Lots of things that successful guys have to do on a regular basis may seem mundane, tedious, and unnecessary to the provider. These things often do not immediately pay off, and they take up a lot of your time. Some of these might be:
1. Polite and timely communication with a client or potential client. Do you respond to texts or emails in a timely manner, and with courtesy and friendliness, regardless of how the client may be communicating with you?
2. Being the highest priced guy in your market. Every time I see an ad with the phrase (and similar) "Upscale clients only," it makes me cringe.
3. Advertise. A lot. Get your name, FACE, and best characteristics on as many platforms you can find.
3.  Get used to the fact that you are going to be criticized; often times unjustly. You are providing a fantasy experience. No matter how hard you try, there will be some who will take potshots against you because the experience did not meet the clients expectation of the fantasy. 
4.  Clients will cancel on you. A lot. Clients will schedule a time and then back out. There are a hundred reasons why a client might cancel. Ran out of money; got too nervous to go through with the appointment; something came up; client decided he really wasn't up for a session at the last minute. And on and  on.
Much of this you probably already know. In answer to your actual question, "what might a reasonably successful independent provider realistically expect to net per year in the current environment? If you work all the time and dedicate yourself to (within reason) the old saying "The customer is always right," an income of high five figures or low six figure income is not totally out of the question. Unfortunately:
1.  The economy is a mess right now. Many clients are hiring less frequently  than they used to. Which for many of us creates fewer discretionary dollars.
2.  You are older now than you used to be. Experience is a great thing to have. I bet you're heavenly in bed. But many guys prefer than young dude, who, in my experience, often disappoints in the sack due to the lack of said experience. 
3.  If you will travel for work your expenses wiil eat you alive. Hard to believe how expensive everything is now.
4. Broadly and generally speaking, people are pissed off these days. Lots of reasons why; we all know them. I think it's harder now than it was ten years ago to create the fantasy potential clients are looking for. 
Anyway these are the things which popped into my brain then out onto this page at the beginning of another lovely day in Dallas. I'm sure other clients, wiser and more experienced than am I, can give you better feedback. But the subject was interesting. Thanks for posing the question and Good Luck.

I shared an adjoining bathroom with a good friend while in college and we were often in the bathroom together.  I almost always had an erection in the shower in the morning yet he, a raging heterosexual, never did.  I sometimes wonder what he thought but he has since died so I’ll never know…

Regularity.  When I find someone whose company I enjoy and who knows what buttons to push, I become a frequent visitor.  If he starts taking me for granted, I move on.  I don’t usually explore unless I can’t get in to see one of my regulars and I find my body in need of attention.

I am feeling a little selfish then.  🤣  That has never occurred to me.  

Yep.  I tip generously because I want to make sure the provider/masseur will see me again since I’m no longer the hot young hunk I once was (or thought I was).

Maybe we should start a variation of this as a new topic on CoM.  Someone starts the story to get the ball rolling, the first commenter continues the story, and so on.  The only requirement would be that it not stray too far from being erotic.  Might be fun for the creative writers among us.

Yep.  Prostate massager, butt plug, finger(s)…all enhance the experience.

Really ended as it had to. I found myself pondering which brother is *really* the problem? Story early unfolds that Ruben is…but? Is he? Or is Niall? 🤷🏻‍♂️

I wish the Rent Men providers would indicate their rate as most Rent Masseur providers do.
Another wish would be the Rent Men providers indicate if they can host or not. Some do but the majority do not.
Both these wishes would save a lot of time and effort before having to inquire directly with the interested provider.

Massage on a table, fun on a bed.    

If you eroticize massage, as many of us here do, the table provides the mystery that makes the encounter exciting. What will happen--and when? Or will nothing happen? Or will everything? The table establishes a therapeutic base from which there can be a natural progression to sensual and erotic. If the massage starts on a bed, the assumption is that it's going to turn into sex--and if it doesn't, there can be a feeling of disappointment.
