To the OP:
You are on the right track, IMO, so press on!
I started seeing masseurs about 8 months ago because I had very little experience with guys and wanted to be prepared to go out in the “wild.” 😀(I had some experience with guys right after college but then got married.)
Look for the people that are patient and passionate (you’ll easily recognize this in your first session) and let them know that you’d like to explore. Be upfront with them. I also look for masseurs that accept everyone - read their ad. These gents take people of all body types, experience levels, race/ethnicities, age. These are the guys that really love what they do.
I was lucky to find two masseurs who have helped me to explore. (They’ve become regulars.) One of whom I have topped for the first time ever and the other whom I have bottomed for for the first time ever. Both of these masseurs are super patient and genuinely kind and open people. We’ve done all of the fun stuff together.
Keep looking because there are some really kind people out there who are willing to help you!!!
