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).

@ReynST I love the way you worded that. More than a decade in to hiring masseurs, I believe the tip is perhaps more for my sake than anything else in that I'm older, prefer evening massages in my home and I live in the suburbs. From the pool of 130 masseurs advertising on RM in my area, maybe 5 that I'm interested would be willing to accommodate that service, so I understand tipping well is important.
That said, I'm often the wide-eyes client after the first massage for I typically hire the same masseurs repeatedly and upon discovery of one that I really like, it's like damn, struck gold, pay the man and make it worth his while so he'll be agreeable to the next session. 
I've also read commits on threads regarding tipping masseurs in that they're comparable to other well-paid professionals as in doctors, lawyers and CPAs where tipping is not the norm. I would dispute in that every lawyer and CPA I've worked with has always padded their billable hours and my last two primary care physicians recently began charge concierge fees between $3-5k a year which isn't cover by insurance nor accessed to my annual out of pocket. Point being, gratuity has established itself in every service profession in this country but simply referred to in sectors by another name. 

I've had almost this exact situation. Young athletic guy with two toddler kids and a woman (presumably his wife, who I didn't encounter but could hear) at home. It was a nude massage in an office and the door was unlocked the entire time.
I could hear the kids moving through the hallway and later playing outside. The dynamics wouldn't impact my life at all, but I had to wonder how the kids would react if they opened the door to show their dad a rock they found and saw him getting teabagged.
... I can only guess it's a regular occurrence

Many guys like a deep thorough massage and women are less reliably good at delivering that. 
Massage generally makes you horny delivered by either gender.  They may or may not want a happy ending, but who delivers it isn't the priority of the session. Gay guys can get HEs from guys they're not at all attracted to or get aroused when massaged by women. 
It makes sense for straight guys to go to guys even for erotic massage, and it's not as telling as you might think of their sexuality.

Massage by Brando  I only saw him once, but it was really good.
 

In general, most people prefer bookings that are not last minute. So you can hire them earlier to arrive later if you like and follow up/confirm while you're getting in the mood.
Also providers likely don't want to travel for someone who's drunk and may pass out by the time they arrive.

I wont see clients, especially new ones generally after midnight. They are always drunk/high and it's a more vulnerable place to put myself in.  My safety is paramount. 
When they are in this state it is harder to satisfy them also, too drunk to get hard etc.

To add on to these comments. 
I definitely think there's a certain amount of mutually assured destruction behind why they don't truly crack down on this hobby/profession the way they could if they really wanted to in the U.S. In addition to the resource management, practicality, and crime priority level aspect of it. A not insignificant amount of cops, politicians, and high profile/high power people also are clients. Some of whom are fairly known in an "open secret" kind of way in some circles.
If they really tried to come down on this with indiscriminate full force, they wouldn't be able to protect the massive amount of themselves/each other who also engage in this and they'd be at high risk of exposing themselves and people having their secrets get out. And i think that is part of why they tend to mostly go after this in such a targeted manner mainly when it serves other purposes like the reasons Soloyo215 listed.
I think the powers that be would love to have the law be the same as how it is in the U.K., but because of how the U.S. has been culturally for so long it'll effectively be impossible to ever pass any true State or National level legalization for a long time.

One of my regulars actually IS a cop, though he technically operates in a different city. 
It's not cops that providers are concerned with, but entrapment and some questions and approaches are definitely hinting at that. So have some discretion and decorum in communication.

I've found that it varies from provider to provider but most are naked, mutual touch allowed and usually a hand job.

Sensual massage with MT & HE.

Just my two cents: I think that in USA there are specific reasons for busts to happen, one being politics, as in election year when some a-hole politician's platform is around ending things that they deem immoral, but I have seen certain busts being used as a nuisance to force places to close after neighbors complaints or after some businesses or entities interested in gentrifying the area want the place to close or move. Also in instances when the FBI or the police are interested in one individual for one specific reason.

After I wish an acquaintance Merry Christmas, I pay attention to see if he responds with Merry Christmas 🎄 or Happy Holidays 🎉.  If he says Merry Christmas 🎄, then I will give him a Christmas gift 🎁.  If he says Happy Holidays 🎉, then I know he doesn't appreciate or expect the traditions associated with this National Holiday.  If, for example, he brings up Hanukkah, then I would consider giving him a Hanukkah gift.

It's not weird. I think most people- providers or not- would be grateful of receiving a gift.  

Just send him on his way.

There is nothing wrong with screwing back the particularly nasty ones that screw you, waste your time, don't deliver what they promise, or similar. It's not that difficult to set up an appointment from a new number and then simply not show up, and give them an appropriate message 15-20 minutes into the supposed appointment. Yeah, rentmasseur has to be on their side and delete reviews because they pay them, but their "business model" is quite vulnerable and they need to understand that. If they do this routinely they can't figure out who did this to them, an you are not likely to see them ever again anyway. In many ways, this is community service. If more people did this, there would be fewer scammers.
 

So i made a post few days ago about wanting to hire a guy but he was unavaliable so i decided to get someone else for 2hrs 250e + travel paid found him thru site called ,,romeo'' he had few reviews so i thought itd be fine he was younger lik 29years old (for context im 24 years old and i look completely fine) he came we started slowly but he couldnt get it up at all saying he could and if he does wed just finish 2 fast making excuses that its ,,cold'' in the house? After that he asked me to turn on some videos i did and again nothing... I got so pissed off i just paid him 100 just to leave worst exp of my life did any of u go thru something similar? Id link his profile but im p sure he deleted it since i cant find it just wanted to vent my frustration dont think ill be doing this again and wanted you guys to share stories if u had something similar happen legit.
