Best quote I've read in quite  a while.

This is not recent, the Rockhampton Morning Bulletin ceased print publication in 2020 (it's now on-line) but worth a run here. One of the great newspaper corrections of all time.

"Anything that we ingest, whether it be food, drink, tobacco, etc., has the propensity to affect the taste and smell of our bodily fluids and secretions," says Bennett. That includes sweat, saliva, and yes, semen.
 
Well, yes and no. "The rumor is partially true," says Bennett. While there have not been any scientific studies on the matter, any sugary liquid or food may skew the fructose and glucose content or the pH of the semen just enough to be perceptible."
Because pineapple is pretty acidic, eating a lot of it or drinking a lot of pineapple juice can help cut down on the bitter taste of semen. That's true for other acidic fruits like lemons and cranberries as well. "Cranberries help balance the pH levels in semen, making for a better taste," says Dr. Bennett.

Never liked the term ‘provider’. Something feels weird about it. It’s so vague; providing what? Lunch? 
I think masseur and escort or the universal ‘sex worker’ are much more appropriate. Maybe the ‘provider’ term is vague because those hiring like it suitably indirect, given hiring for sexual services is of dubious legality in some jurisdictions. 

Lots of guys like the idea in abstract ‘wouldn’t it be great if I got paid to have sex!’ but then once faced with the reality of it they back off. They realise they’ll need to be available when clients want, they’ll have to fuck guys they don’t find attractive, and they’ll need to face prejudice from family and friends who don’t approve of their choice of work. 
I think it’s not a job most people can do. Aside from needing some physical attributes (because you’re selling your body) you definitely need the mental strength to be able to do it. It’s definitely not easy. But I will say it can be great fun, empowering and give you a lot of freedom and opportunities. Also a great insight into human sexuality.

Back to the topic please.

exactly this. thanks for articulating it. the build up is the biggest dopamine hit.

For many guys sex happens too quickly. Guys rush to penetration, and then it’s over…all too fast. This could happen easily with an escort. Massage slows all of this down. Sensual massage is like choreographed foreplay, the build up of tension (including ‘will he fuck me? or will he let me fuck him?’) is part of the journey and the journey counts just as important as the destination. Good masseurs can have you absolutely begging for it after an hour 😉
