That's the kind of warning I'm always eager to hear. But on a serious note, I do want to echo @ThroatCummer and say that you and @Jamie21 (and a couple others) are doing yourself a good service by spending time on here explaining your side of things, I am definitely adding you guys to my list based on your thoughtful and genuine responses, please keep it up!

FYI, there is a recent discussion of him over in the Deli:

Apparently they've even made videos together at one point? Saxon West & Marco Rubi WWW.BOYFRIENDTV.COM Saxon West, Marco Rubi in Saxon West & Marco Rubi featuring Amateur

Agreed, and I don't usually mention those experiences here because they've never been bad so much as not great. I think this might be due to differences in expectations, for instance I prefer a proper therapeutic-only massage to a mediocre sex-pretty-much-guaranteed massage.

I agree with this. I prefer to read something positive on here before trying someone new, but this isn't always possible, particularly when traveling. So once in a while I rely on the factors Apex listed above. Maybe I've just been really lucky, or maybe copy/messages/instinct really are enough, because it's worked out great for me so far! Some cities don't seem to have a stable base of highly-rated (and thoroughly discussed on here) providers, which is surprising...

This thread got me reminiscing and I met up with Luke again. His scheduling messages are a lot more low key than they were back in 2018 when I saw him last, but he's still purely therapeutic, and unlike some providers I think he really means it. His massage skills have improved, and I always thought they were strong to begin with -- he now focuses on areas others tend to ignore (such as your chest). Also he played Sufi poetry in the background and was super enthusiastic about discussing it, for me that really elevated the experience, and a far cry from the "Wagnerian" style of music I'd heard him play when I first saw him years ago. Overall really happy I saw him again!

He's been discussed a number of times on here, although some of the discussion conflates him with NorthEastMasseur/NorthEndMasseur. I used to see him years ago and I enjoyed his massages, which were therapeutic only. I've seen repeated mentions on here of possibly racist comments or weird screening questions, I've never experienced that with him (and again those might have been related to NorthEast/NortthEnd, not Luke). He was absolutely adamant about the therapeutic only nature of his massages, and I remember receiving those texts from him. However they were only that, just clearly seeing boundaries. As mentioned elsewhere (and fondly remembered by me), Luke has a beautiful furry chest that looks nothing like NorthEnd's photos (and it's not a matter of shaving because NorthEnd shows a slightly hairy chest). Luke didn't show his face in the past, so you're already getting more information upfront than you would have back when he was discussed here.

I met xdiggity twice recently, he's great, basically exactly what you'd expect from his website copy.

I met @Daniel84 after I saw his posts on here, they made him seem down to earth and fun (which he turned out to be in real life as well).

Thanks, this is great info!

I feel like this is a common theme on here, and it might be a misunderstanding of how this business works... as others have pointed out before, you don't pay an escort to show up, you pay them to leave. That is a good start to understanding why people who don't have to pay for sex might choose to pay for sex. If you talk to providers, you'll know that they occasionally even hire each other, and they're the very definition of someone who doesn't have to pay for sex.

Agreed. I read this whole thread before opening his profile and thought "is that all?" ... he could be an ideal lover, an amazing guy, and a great escort, but those photos (and his ad copy) don't tell that story. He just looks like a regular cute guy.

This thread and newdad's recent post seem to be more about spas, but if it's any help I can report having met this provider when I was in Buenos Aires, and he was wonderful, also just a really great guy to hang out with. He's not cheap by Argentinian standards, but well worth it in my opinion. Feel free to PM me if you'd like more info.

I ended up meeting with him, it was one of my best experiences to date. If you are excited by his photos (and videos!), and like what you read in his reviews, I would definitely recommend him. As one of his reviewers wrote, he's "worth every damn dollar" ... he's also smart and kind as reviewers have mentioned, and a great communicator. Just all around a real pro in every sense... king-sized prince!

Let me put it this way: in other threads on this forum, several members said that he did provide both. He told me that he does not provided those services, so I'll leave this answer as consistent with what he told me, even if I know otherwise. I'd say that as another member suggests, he's clearly a case of YMMV.
