I recently experienced a 50% price increase from two of my service providers: a young Russian escort and my tailor. I wasn't happy about it, especially regarding the tailor. 😅

Just what the others said - supply and demand at work. As the economy gets harder more people need extra money and get ads.
This market works like any others. I had a former regular complain how Venezuelan refugees were undercutting him. When he raised his rates, I switched to said Venezuelans and found a eager, humble, and lower priced group.
Markets don't care about what you think you're worth, or even what you need. My salary hasn't kept up with inflation, because the firm knows it's a low hire low fire market. That needs to get passed down to my discretionary spending.

I can see the argument for wanting to book a masseur vs an escort though. Its been my experience that when I book an escort, it can feel sorta mechanical at times. To be fair though, depends on the provider. With a masseur, I've found those cases to feel more organically erotic as tension builds. Whether or not sex actually happens during that encounter, it sure as hell is fun to feel that sexual energy! At bare minimum, it's just nice to be touched

😆 Funny.
I actually DO really enjoy a good professional massage. I generally book a mixed session of "therapeutic & erotic" and see where things go. Most often its a happy ending (handjob) but occasionally it goes full deli with oral sex. I have on occasion had a masseur try to actually fuck me during a "nuru" session but I always find that to be very presumptuous since I am NOT a bottom and definitely NOT letting ANYONE fuck me without a condom. So yeah...I do immediately put an end to THAT. In Thailand its not unusual for a young masseur at an m4m Spa to offer to ride your cock. Of ALL of these additional sexual favors...I have never ONCE been so egotistical to assume they were just so taken with my masculine beauty that they just HAD TO have sex with me. I'm not delusional. 
Its a BUSINESS. They are there with you to MAKE MONEY, whether they think you're a nice looking man or not. 
So when ever I DO indulge in extras that are defined as SEX, I always tip significantly. 
 
 

When I first started exploring the idea/possibility of seeing a provider, I was looking at masseurs because of my presumptions about safety and legality, so I was really only looking at masseurs who would provide “extras”. I then realized that that was silly, since I had no desire to receive an actual massage.

I once gave a large “tip” after a massage went way beyond what was expected and the masseur seemed offended. He handed all the excess back to me and said rather coldly “I don’t do that for money.”
So I just firmly believe people outside the room should withhold comment and do what works best for them and the people they see. I see people who charge $200 and I pay $200, even though things may go well beyond standard service. But I see them multiple times a month and we have a nice relationship., such as it is. 
I’m no Adonis just getting it because. I’m pushing 60. But I am a regular. I show up on time and clean. I don’t push for anything the masseur doesn’t want to give and understand some days will be different from others. We always laugh a lot. There is never any drama. And I’m generally flexible on time - I don’t demand 6pm on Friday. I cheerfully take a slot that might otherwise be empty for them. I also don’t want to be thought of as a rich guy throwing money around just because I can to get exactly what I want. That’s offensive  
It works me and the folks I see and nothing regarding payment needs to be justified to anyone else. So tip away. I would never discourage that. But understand that there may be some other things just as important or perhaps more important in the transaction and don’t judge what other people do. 

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 😉

I'd love to meet your plumber!

Speaking for myself I’ve tried both and find masseurs more reliable in that I get what I pay for. 

What's bump mean? Also, would appreciate any info on this handsome guys too. thanks

I do this about once a year. Highly recommend. 😃
NYC is great, there really is something for everyone. I usually have a hard time deciding since there are just so many options.

I am always amazed at the level of hot-looking men in New York.  Pages of absolutely gorgeous, muscled men on RM it boggles the mind.  I keep telling myself I need to fly to New York, get a hotel suite and hire about half a dozen of these men!  Unbelievable!

i had a massage recently where the masseur WOULD NOT SHUT UP.  he was unbelievably chatty from start to finish, talking super-fast and not taking a breath.  never had a massage experience like that before.  he talked about what tv shows he was watching; his night out at last week at the bar; his various hookups with porn stars; recent changes to his diet; concerts he was going to; etc.  none of this could be classified as friendly conversation, this was just him with the 'on' switch flipped.
for every song that came up on his playlist during the massage he would be like "omg, i totally love her!  what's your favorite betty who song?"  and then he would be discernibly annoyed when i would mumble something like "sorry, i have never heard of 'betty who' and i don't know any of her songs".  a similar thing happened when he brought up drag race.  "who's your favorite this year?"  and i said i don't watch drag race, and his response "you don't watch drag race!  you have to watch it to support the community!  i can't believe you're not watching it!"  and it was clear that he wasn't just surprised that i don't watch drag race, but kind of pissed off about it.
the whole experience was this horrible, nonstop firehose of words.  every once in a while he would say something like "ok i need to shut up now." and then about five seconds later he would start again.  definitely for me the most annoying massage ever.  couldn't wait to get out of there.

The most frequent annoying behavior I've seen from Masseurs is to keep checking their phone during the session.  But, that's not the most annoying thing I've had happen.  Several years ago, I had a masseur keep chatterbox talking to me in . . . .baby talk throughout the session.  "We don't want any nasty old stwess in ow muscles, now do we."  
 

I had an escort I hired fall for me. I'm typing this from our living room (actually, I moved into his place).  But that's a story I haven't told here, yet.  I will share, someday when the time is right. My hesitation to tell it is because it will give others false hope and my situation is really, really rare. I hired escorts so they would leave because I didn't want or have time for a relationship, but this one stuck around. lol. 

I think most of us have fallen for a provider at some point or at least I like to think so to feel better about myself, LOL!.
In my case, it happened after a particularly hard breakup from an almost 10 year relationship. I was in a really bad place emotionally and returned to hiring as a coping mechanism to fill that void. Not the smartest decision I've ever made.
This particular provider pushed all the right buttons and really made me feel good. In my defense, he was excellent at manipulating me and played me like a master, but I don't place the blame on him since I should have known better. This went on for a little over a year. Deep down, I knew he was just playing me for money, but I chose to ignore the signs. As expected, I ended up paying for my mistake both financially and emotionally.
The financial loss was significant, but the emotional devastation was even harder to deal with. It took quite some time and professional help to recover but I learned my lesson.

Just wondering if anybody else does this dumb thing or if it’s just me.  I only started hiring about 3 years ago, but I can see a pattern. (Okay, only twice, but still…). When I hire a man repeatedly because there’s great intimacy (at least from my perspective, I start to lose my grip on the reality and develop feelings.  I misread cues and think there’s a mutual thing developing.  Then the reality has to hit home that I’m not a romantic interest or even a hookup interest and I wouldn’t be there if I wasn’t paying. The man I currently see regularly - he pushes all my buttons physically and emotionally, and I could fall head over heels for him.  But I see him in rooms with guys who are hookups, not clients, and he talks about trips in which he meets someone in a room, they chat and are hot for each other, and travel to meet.  And it has to hit me then that I’m not one of those guys he met because he was attracted to them.  Big blow on both my ego and my heart.  Anybody else? Thoughts? Suggestions? And you don’t need to tell me it’s all my own fault - I already own that.  

While now I’m curious if there’s anything said about me, reading the comments just gave me chills. Just imagining what they had to go through, omg. I can’t believe there are people out there who take advantage of masseurs/masseuse and escorts, especially because I’ve built good friendship with many of them and any of them could be a victim! Thank you for sharing.
