For me, the chance to allow myself to experience the provider’s skill without providing him a roadmap has been exhilarating, often. I’ve discovered new things I now like quite a bit because I let them drive.
All that being said, you are hiring a professional and you definitely can provide some direction. Most would welcome the input and the ones who wouldn’t likely aren’t worth the fee anyway.

Been to the grocery store lately? The price of everything in the country is going up monthly, and the size is going down. At least my boy's cock hasn't shrunk. 

I haven't seen rates that high for massage. Unless you mean extras included, then yes. Definitely leaning more to $300+ which makes sense as they're moving toward escort prices.

I love that this hobby has so many different strokes for different blokes. I can't stand when some guy's dick and balls are draped over my face during a massage. Like "Sir, please get your meat out of my eye."

I went to Luke more than a decade ago, perhaps even 15 years, when he was in LA. He was sweet and skilled but those photos are definitely photoshopped. He would be in his 40's at least by now.

I just saw him a few weeks ago. Looks like his pictures. The body is quite nice. Massage was good, not mind boggling. Transitioned smoothly into extras without any haggling or hiccups. None were previously discussed. Nice guy and very professional over texts, which I appreciate. Will most likely repeat.

Darn. I was looking at hiring him during my trip to LV next month. I don’t mind the additional weight but I do mind his pictures not accurately reflecting that so I know what to expect. Ah well. Back to the drawing board.

I'm glad the situation resolved itself. I think, given that they handled the initial communication so poorly, they should've offered you a discounted session or some other gesture of that nature. Out of goodwill and to restore confidence in their services on your part.
I agree it's no reason to blacklist the providers though. Not from this one instance. But they should definitely have tried to make it right beyond just an apology. My two cents as an independent contractor in years past in an, admittedly, very different field.

Never expected to see an SDA reference on this board but, here we are.

My hopes soared when you said he had left the plant behind only to be dashed to pieces by the rest of your experience. Masseurs who use the one hand technique think they're so slick. Do they think we don't know or are they just used to inexperienced/first-time clients? Such a shame. Thanks for absorbing the blast of that rather cute grenade for us.

Thanks, Glutes
 
one hand and naked upgrade... shudder
hard pass
nobody's that cute 
 
 

So once again, Glutes jumps on the grenade.
He is as pictured, but a rather diminutive / fit Peruvian with good English skills and nice disposition.
He has new and different venue (no same damn plant), and he's tricked it out with a massage room that rivals Burke-Williams. Candles / music / heated table / hot towels / hot stones / nice clean sheets.
I opted for the 90 minute / $280 package, hmmmmmmm.
While my face was down in the cradle I caught him 3 times using just 1 hand that was working with interruptions, he was working texting on his phone with the other hand. He didn't like it when I called him on it.
I flipped over with about 15 minutes left, then the a la carte menu was announced to 'upgrade'.
Not gonna roar back for another session.

That close up headshot is so jarring. He looks better from a distance. 

Oh wow! What a blast from the past. Lost contact with him He was great. Agree with the above comments re: equipment. A joyful friendly dude with good technique.

I've seen him. Looks like his pics, good muscle but definitely has a belly that those angles are hiding. Nice guy and talkative. Massage is around a B. Lots of repetitive strokes. Extras are on the table to a point. Wouldn't really repeat because I like a really good massage before all else.

Search "5356" in the search bar for this forum and stuff comes up from about 5 years ago. Nothing recent. I've always been curious too but never took the plunge.

Saw him a lot about ten years ago. Not very much in the way of massage. Went straight to the fun. Not bad for all of that. A short, latino king. Those pics look like they could be recent. He was young then.

Not sure if this is related...
There are masseurs who offer a therapeutic massage which is OK.
For those * IF* I ask (in a very polite manner)  if they are open to anything else some get offended,  Dude you are advertising on a gay massage site.  Those questions should not be a shock to you.  If they offend you maybe either be very clear in their description or not advertise at all.
IMHO !!!

It's amazing how one person can bring so many different people together with shared memories.  That probably wasn't his goal or intention, but it still happened, years later.
