Chien Andalou

SMOOTH. I love to eat ass and, according to the feedback, I’m really good. Individual tastes vary, of course, but I absolutely love smooth ass. The smoother the better. I do care what a guy’s hole looks like, and it is very much a factor when I’m deciding who to hire. I personally find a hairy, scruffy asshole disgusting. I have decided not to hire otherwise attractive guys because of it. The same holds true for the crotch. I think the old joke is, “I want to suck a dick, not floss my teeth.”

I care very much. Just because I’m a top doesn’t mean all I’m interested is sticking my dick in a hole. I love to suck cock and I love to eat ass. Those things are going to be right up against my face, so I want them to be pretty. They are definite factors in who I do and do not hire. 
On the topic of this thread, I also want to see the head of the dick. Sure, just showing the base gives a sense of its girth, but not how it will sit against my tongue or down my throat. If a guy has a ton of pictures of his pretty hole, it suggests to me he likes having it worked on and we’re more likely to be a good match. 

This whole thread should is an example of why you should really have some emotional maturity before deciding to hire an escort.
Be in the moment.  Enjoy his company.  Have fun.  Hug, kiss and fuck.  Converse.
But...  After the meet is over, shake it off, go back to reality and plan for the next visit.  
He's a band-aid.  Not a stitch.

I agree about Jacob Larsen. He looks just like his photos. He’s very friendly, articulate, and personable. He delivered. 

I used to see Pan as well. He hasn’t updated his pics since about 1893, so I don’t know what he looks like anymore. He was sure beautiful though. I recall his massage being decidedly okay but not on a par with what I was discussing. 

Getting back to the original query, OP stated that the masseur’s rate is already high. He has been multiple times, which suggests he has no problem paying him his quoted rate. For me, paying his already high rate is sufficient. Only tip if you feel he deserves something extra. Sounds like he doesn’t. If he ghosts you because of it, take it as a sign that this relationship has run its course and find someone more appreciative. 

Thank you, Simon, for your characteristically thoughtful response. I always enjoy your input. Your treatise on ass eating (with illustrations no less!) was a masterwork. I plan to incorporate some of your pointers into my own rim work.
i agree with you about looking for escorts who also provide bodywork. This is a twofer, which should be compensated accordingly.
 
It does bring up one of my pet peeves, which is “strictly-therapeutic” masseurs who think they should be paid as much as erotic ones. I’m sorry, but there is a “nudity premium.” If you’re wearing sweats and a hoodie and they’re staying on, and nobody’s dick gets tugged, you shouldn’t expect the same compensation. Full stop. And clients are guilty for agreeing to pay it. I don’t care how good the massage is, if you’re asking $200 an hour or more there needs to be something more. 

The endless tipping debate. Notice that masseurs / escorts aren’t making much comment, and when they do it’s just to say ‘I’m pleased to get a tip but I don’t expect one’… that kind of thing. We generally don’t get worked up about it. I think it’s a hirer thing. The reasons given in this thread for whether or not clients tip are almost all to do with themselves and their views (often mistaken) on how the business works and not much to do with the actual service provided.
Tipping seems to be more about making the hirer feel good about themselves or setting right inconsistencies or injustices they see in the provider’s pricing or adjusting some power dynamic. That’s fine, tip or don’t tip, up to you, but it really isn’t a big issue for providers. It’s appreciated of course but that’s it. It has no impact on how I set my rates, on what’s included in the session, on how I view the client or on whether I accept a future booking. What does impact those things is how respectful, clean, on time, reliable, regular etc the client is. Not whether he tips. 
 

I pay one-third to one-half of my income to income tax depending on yearly fluctuations and I assume, perhaps unfairly at times or in unique cases, that the providers I hire do not declare any or most of the cash I give to them. Therefore, after I have drawn from my remaining net income following heavy deductions in order to pay him (them) he (they) get(s) let off with a substantial bonus by keeping earnings under the radar, in spite of signage all over my STI testing go-to clinic that states “sex work is work”. In fact, my income tax goes towards funding services like STI clinics that providers also access with little or no contribution themselves to the public coffers in spite of making bank well above income averages. The concept of gratuities is baked in for this reason along with others referenced upthread.

Adorable. Handsome, buff AF, super sweet, very willing and experienced bottom. I highly recommend him.

I love the look of beautiful skin. My eyes and cock are not attracted to the human body looking like a NYC subway train from the 70's. While some prison gang members look hot and sexy in the movies, I doubt I would pay to see it up close. The thug look is not my thing. Body art is not the turn-on for me. The turn-on is plain, simple naked man skin.
I don't have a problem with moderate ink tampering. I find some tattoos clever and sexy. I definitely have visual issues with guys who cover entire limbs, or, especially the neck and face. Tattoos on the cock? No thanks. Never.

Is it a loss of face to say you can’t afford it right now? One way I’d consider approaching it is to say something like: “I love meeting with you and really enjoy our sessions. Paying for your time can be a stretch for me, so I only contact you when I feel I can comfortably afford it. I’ll have to pass right now but I hope to hit you up soon.” It tells him to back off but leaves the door open for when you are ready.

I don’t mind at all. It suggests to me that he might be horny and willing, and that the extras might be extra fun. At minimum, if he’s trying to drum up business he’s unlikely to be overworked and worn out when we meet. 

No, no loss of face for not being able to afford it at this time - it's business. But you don't have to let him know.
That said, I would drop the 'Paying for your time....soon.' line.
Just say, 'Currently, I'm pausing these  luxuries for personal reasons. Once I'm ready to start again, you're at the top of my list to book an appointment."

I will use MF sometimes to get a better sense of a provider’s location, as many default on RM to the Loop in Chicago. I know not everyone is the same 5.47 miles away from me as indicated by RM.

As a client and horndog, I use it only to cross reference to see if someone shows face there or claims certifications, etc. I haven’t hired anyone based solely on a MF ad in years.
