Hey everyone,
I wanted to take a moment to share something I came across while exploring platforms that feature male masseurs. One well-known site, RentMen, asked for my government-issued ID just to view profiles. That didn’t sit well with me.
I understand that ID verification is sometimes required for posting services—that makes sense for accountability and safety. But to simply browse content? That felt excessive, and frankly, unnecessary.
For anyone considering using platforms like this, here are a few things to keep in mind:
Your ID contains sensitive information (name, date of birth, license/ID numbers). Once uploaded, you’re trusting the platform to store and protect that data securely. Not all sites have strong privacy protections.
Data breaches are real. Even well-known companies have been hacked. If a site’s policy isn’t transparent about how long they keep your info or what they do with it, that's a red flag.
There are alternative platforms that allow you to browse or connect without giving up your identity. In an era where privacy matters, we shouldn’t feel pressured to hand over personal documents just to explore.
For these reasons, I’ve chosen to opt out of using any site that demands my ID for viewing access. I believe in exploring with curiosity—but also caution.
Just wanted to put this on your radar in case it helps someone else make an informed decision. Stay safe out there.

Marylander1940, I’d like to offer some insight. If you believe that paying a male escort gives you the right to treat him with disregard, that mindset reflects deeper psychological patterns. The entitlement you’ve expressed often stems from internal struggles with control, self-worth, and the capacity for intimacy.
Using money as a justification to strip someone of respect is a defense mechanism—a way to avoid vulnerability. It creates a false sense of power, but beneath that surface is unresolved shame, fear of closeness, and likely a conflict around your own sexual identity. What you’re doing is projecting your discomfort onto the very person you’re paying to connect with.
Payment doesn’t erase the human element. In fact, it heightens the need for mutual respect and emotional intelligence. A truly balanced mind understands that. You may want to explore this further—because this behavior is a sign that help is needed.

This 👆 💯.  
As for licenses, I wish the government spent more time and effort enforcing driving without a license instead of rubbing someone's glutes without a license.

I regularly see three masseurs who aren’t licensed, and I’ve had nothing but great experiences. Why? Because I curate the session by speaking up about what I want and where I need the work. Just lying there in silence and then leaving a lukewarm review? That’s on the client, not the masseur.
If your masseur is working your calves or thighs—let them. And when they hit the perfect rhythm, like playing the fiddle just right, say something. Tell them, “Keep doing that, I love it.” Don’t let them move on until you’re ready. That’s just common sense—and no license can substitute for clear communication.
I see a lot of hate directed at masseurs here, but honestly, most of it comes from clients who don’t speak up. From the masseur’s side, they’re considering things like whether you’re on blood thinners, if you bruise easily, or if going deep into your glutes might trigger a sciatic flare-up.
Bottom line: if you want a great massage, be present and vocal throughout the session. That’s how you get exactly what you came for.

I’ve been meaning to book him myself—such a beautiful man.

I wouldn't generally make a distinction between someone who currently holds a license and someone who had one but let it lapse, assuming they were still working. I would think keeping your license in most states just means you paid a fee. It's not like your knowledge disappears when that happens. 

You expect a masseur who's basically a sex worker to be licensed? lol 

Yes I agree with this. It’s great when I get a responsive client. They don’t need to speak, just respond with positive reactions to what I’m doing. It’s especially noticeable when I start with some head massage and I can see their body relax and hear that long out breath as all the tension leaves them. As a masseur you get used to seeing the signs, they don’t need to be overt (indeed it sometimes feels performative if the client is writhing around and exclaiming pleasure at every touch), subtle almost subconscious indications are all I need to know that what  I’m doing is working. And then of course when he turns over the bodily signals are rather more obvious 😉.

I saw him in 2019, I think, in Salt Lake City.  Lackluster experience in every respect, including the dingy motel.  Totally forgettable, or at least I try to.

You're a clinical psychologist and you're diagnosing people on an internet message board.   🙄

I’ve actually hired a few guys named JD over the years, but yes—I’ve had the pleasure of meeting this JD. First met him in Chicago, before he relocated to Naperville.
Honestly had no idea he did adult work until recently, so thanks for the heads-up. I’ll definitely be checking out some of that earlier content.
I’ve known JD since he started offering massage back in 2009. These days, I’m subscribed to both his romantic massage stories and his OnlyFans. His work—whether it’s massage, storytelling, or adult content—is always thoughtful, well-crafted, and genuine. And each time we connect, the conversations are just as meaningful as the experience itself.
I’m not sharing his website here. Too many of you are clearly bitter that he’s denied you access, and it shows. As a clinical psychologist, I can’t help but notice the abandonment issues bleeding through your comments. Waving around cash doesn’t entitle you to connection.
He and I have had long talks about this kind of behavior.
If you’re genuinely curious and respectful, feel free to reach out to me directly for his site info. But for the rest of you? You don’t deserve access to someone I consider a friend.
 
 
 

Yes, I met with Jesse and he did a great job. He was respectful, grounded, and intuitive with his touch. He's a sweet man!
