Highly recommend Jose. Can't go wrong with this guy!

Seriously, thank you for the warning. I was definitely interested but now a hard pass.  Thank God for this Forum and the willingness of members to share experiences, good, bad or indifferent.

and he is now officially escorting - his new ad is up on rentmen. 
https://rentmen.eu/jose_ok

Wish he had more pictures or a RentMasseur profile as well. 

Have followed him on Instagram for a few years. Definitely gay, almost definitely a bottom, recently moved out from living with a boyfriend/sugardaddy after finishing up school in Texas and some travels around meeting other generous daddies and gents.
 
He seems to have a tension between discretion, shyness, his background, and his athlete image VS eagerness for attention, being gay and out, showing off that beautiful butt, adapting to Los Angeles, what to do in addition to his athletic career and being presumably on a visa. 
 
Honestly I assumed he was sugaring or escorting since a few years ago when he was in Palm Beach and Miami but couldn’t say for sure, maybe too demure or fussy about it unless he really likes you but he does seem to naturally prefer successful “bears“ … his Grindr profile in WeHo indicates he likes massage and bears too, so maybe that’s truly authentic to his preferences. He has a subscription option on IG (mostly showing off that beautiful butt) and responds to DMs with varying engagement. I suppose he’s, of course, following a predictable trajectory now for someone who looks like, is built like, he is. Hopefully it is favorable and fortuitous for him. 

I’m in Mexico City right now! I checked out Tom’s Leather Bar last night. (Tuesdays are their busiest day for some reason.) They had nude hard dancers up on the bar. 
 
There are several bars in Zona Rosa that have strippers, and I’m planning to check out a few of them. Gigolo Bar seems like one of the newer options. I’ll let you know more once I’ve tried some places out. 

Agreed, I much prefer having a massage in on a table rather than a hotel bed. 

I’m in NYC so we’ve got tons of options, and since I don’t really enjoy massages on beds, it’s hard to find traveling masseurs to be worth the experience sometimes (unless they have a massage table available to them)

that's hot! who is the guy on the left? where is this from? would love to see the video

He wants a full body pic and a dick pic? I have had guys ask for a face pic but never a full body and never a dick pic from someone i will be paying .. and i don’t think this guy is needing these pics to decide he will give. A huge discount … something seems a wee “off” to me 

If I had the face, bod and cock to entice this man to touch me, I wouldn't need to pay him for his time.  He needs to review his business plan.

7829V is shrewd for doing this. Ads change, pictures rotate, etc.  This gives us a chance to detect possible deception and also reminds us of past profiles we can't quite remember when a new one from the same provider appears. 

As a reference. Because they disappear or change them.  

Hands down would be SkysTouch based out of SD. Great technique and nice guy.

Yeah, I've me him. He's very good. The only downside for me is finding a parking spot near his place.

To agree with those above and answer your specific question. Yes hiring in Latin America is definitely cheaper than hiring in the states. Where are the hottest and most varied guys? Brazil (Sao Paulo and Rio but more in SP) a lot of the Brazilian pornstars from OF/etc. are also garotos de programa (translates as program boys but it is used as the word for male escort). 
Rules for hiring in Latin America: 
1. Don't use Rentmen 
Websites to use:
Sexyservidores - https://www.sexyservidores.com/ Mexico
Mileroticos - mileroticos.com Top site for Colombia and Mexico  
Brazil: has several sites but the best one is https://garotocomlocal.com.br/ . Brazil is also super unique in that there are a shitload of spas and clubs to go to. Sao Paulo is like the gay capital of Latin America. 
2. Obviously use whatsapp to contact them but a lot of them are smart so if they notice your +1 country code they will charge you a higher price. I recommend getting a local SIM when you're in one of these countries. 
3. Do the first contact in Spanish or Portuguese (Brazil obvi). If you don't know the language(s) use google translate. Also get a a list of multiple prospective hires and compare their rates. Usually they will all be around the same. 
4. After you've managed to setup a meet with a rate agreed then it doesn't matter when you meet them if they find out that you're American and you don't speak the language. 
My experience: 
Brazil: 300-350 Reais which is about 60 to 70 bucks per hour. You can find cheaper rates if you go to a bathhouse/spa. 
Mexico: 1800 to 2500 MXN which is about 90 to 125 an hour
Colombia: 160,000 to 200,000 COP which is about 40 to 50 an hour 
 

These are mine:
Bliss - https://www.masseurfinder.com/massage-therapists/43079/ super cute guy, very warm and gracious, YMMV, but actually trained with sensual elements/release 
James - https://www.masseurfinder.com/massage-therapists/41365/ sexy man, great body, average massage, but looks great and allows some engagement

Guys I have on my radar - 
Adonis - https://www.masseurfinder.com/massage-therapists/41859/ been very slow to respond, but something leads me to believe it'll be a good experience
Brian - https://www.masseurfinder.com/massage-therapists/42331/ YMMV up here, but willing to take the leap, if nothing more than to get a great massage

Mark - https://rentmasseur.com/marktunnel nice blog, solid reviews too

Post rentboy prosecutions, masseurfinder has become extremely chaste. It's very difficult to gauge what the masseurs on that site are up for.  I usually cross reference both sites - one to confirm they're "real" masseurs (not upselling fakes) and the other to see how "thorough" the massage will be. 

I'll be in Montreal next week so I shall report back on how Stock and Campus are these days. 

Holy crap that article hurt my brain.
My 2 second "Hooboy Journal Club" analysis:
The “n" values used in these studies were incredibly small.
They didn’t control for the HIV status of the subjects. Which we all know has a huge impact on antibody response to vaccination. I’m actually assuming that I must have missed that somewhere in the article, because without that information, their data is basically worthless. 
They make the assumption that everyone born before 1974 was vaccinated for smallpox and that every born after 1974 wasn’t. Which we know not to be true. 
That previously smallpox vaccinated patients have a more robust response to the monkeypox vaccine is a surprise to no one. Dog bites man. It’s not news. 
We have no idea what titer of neutralizing antibodies is required to make someone "immune". Furthermore, we have no idea if complete "immunity" is crucial to containing the pandemic. (spoiler alert, I don’t think it is).
From their own mouths:  "At this moment it is unclear what the relatively low MPXV neutralizing titers mean for protection against disease and transmissibility."
At the end of the day, the proof is in the pudding. Vaccination is having a huge impact on decreasing the incidence of Monkeypox in the current outbreak. And the vast majority of Monkeypox cases in the current outbreak were born after 1974. Yes, there are other factors (e.g. change in sexual behaviors, Monkeypox may be burning it self out in the ‘slut" population, etc.) but I’m betting it’s 95% due to vaccination. 
I don’t find this weak study to particularly useful in the real world. 
(How did I do prof?)

This isn’t necessarily “unexpected” but reflect something I LOVE when a masseur does it. 
 
There is a moment when laying on my stomach when a masseur grabs my leg and positions it so my leg is bent and raised high almost like a frog. In this position he can rub up my thigh entirely and my erection is much more exposed and accessible. 
 
With both hands rubbing up my thighs his hands brush against me, easily raising my body slightly above the table. Whenever I have a masseur who does this, I know I am going to have a fantastic experience.
