Has anyone taken the plunge, or anyone know if he's still asking for those rates?

Another brand new listing... Any 411 on this good looking man?

Bumping to ask if anyone here ended up having a sensual experience...

I never thought that I'd post with any 'negative' toward Shane, but I have to echo the negative now. The first visit or two were mainly positive. The massage itself was decent, but there was inconsistency in his pricing (he said something via text different than in-person), and he also 'accidentally' did a 60 minute session instead of a 90 minute session. He told me I should've told him on the spot (touche), but I was willing to overlook it all with his charm (he can be very kind).
Every subsequent visit got new price changes, but he was also more interactive and we got along great, and I came to really like him more and more, just as a person. I was seeing him regularly for about 6 months. I disappeared a bit for some responsibilities (I told him about it and we stayed in regular contact), and suddenly after one cancelled visit from his end (for a 'cold'), he started ghosting me entirely. I mean, we went from something to the effect of 'can't wait to see you' to zero. He wouldn't answer texts, wouldn't reply about rescheduling, but he answered someone that I recommended him to that same day. I sent him a message on rentmasseur asking if there's something that happened that I've misunderstood or if there's anything I did hat upset him, he read it and didn't reply. Sad things ended this way. 

He was probably one of the first masseurs that ever had a computer. He was able to nab the username "XXX"

This was a savage takedown  😂🤣😂

Sorry to hear this. I have never seen Shane, but I’ve had similar things happen with a couple other massage therapists.  You get along great, and have very interactive experiences over a period of time, then, for seemingly no reason at all, the vibe completely changes.

I met Apollo a couple of times, and the first time was when he made his first listing and just started out. He was more generous at the time nad his rates were actually very reasonable. Over time I found him getting not just pricier, but there'd be a lot of back and forth about pricing, rates, what's included etc...it stopped feeling 'natural' at that point and so I lost interest as a result. He, however, is exceptionally attractive (in my view), does have strong hands etc... The loss of interest wasn't because he's not 'good' as much as he's not that incredible to keep paying premiums for 'extras' that others do naturally and don't spend as much time talking about.

He is in Detroit now.  He quoted $350 for an erotic massage....but it does include sensual touching.  LOL  I laughed then declined.

Saw him on a later trip, and the communication was as difficult as posted above. He shorted on time, isn't nearly as fit as his pics. He was nice, it wasn't a bad session, but not sure if I'd repeat given the hassle of communication and the shorting of time... on the fence about it, not a definitive no.

I am one of those who avoids social media altogether.
It seems like most people are debating just the effect of sending a pic, but to me, the demand itself is not reasonable. It's one thing to ask for a pic, another to require it. "hey, would you be willing..." is not the same as "I require a face pic".   
What if we were to reverse the demand? How many providers would be okay with the client demanding face pics of those masseurs who do not post face pics on their ads? Again, asking is not the same as requiring. I'm not okay with being required to send a pic, personally. Like I said above, if others are okay with it, all power to them, but I'm not. I care very much about discretion, and anything in my control with respect to discretion, I want to control. I do think, for me, it's a big deal to send my picture to someone I don't even know. To be required to take such a risk, is, in my view, unreasonable.
 
 
 
 

Most masseurs who requested a pic/stats ghosted me upon receiving it, including no longer responding and not showing up to the appointment. At this point, if a masseur requests a pic, I just thank him for his time and move on. Although I don't send pics, I do describe my appearance to escorts. Ultimately, I wouldn't want to hire someone who found me so unappealing that they couldn't reasonably perform. Perhaps that's my way of framing potential rejection from providers positively. 

Can’t believe people are throwing around accusations of paranoia when we are talking of a hobby that is in the US illegal and in most geographies riddled with stigma.
Most points I have on this have been made. I’ll just add that with AI and image recognition software easily available, a picture can enable anyone to gather all sorts of information on the subject in a matter of minutes or less. It’s highly likely the provider will have that by the end of the session anyway through understandable security measures. But regardless, if some are fine providing pictures let them, and let the providers insist on it let the self selection allow for us all - clients and providers - to stick within our comfort zones. 
 
 

Asking for a client photo is bad business, but with today's social media climate, where "everything belongs out in the open," no wonder too many guys (especially younger ones) think this is OK behavior.
There are some guys who want to use the photo to determine personal attraction. Let's not forget, some horny service providers are in the biz simply to satisfy their hornyness, and figure why not make money as well. They don't really care if they turn lots of guys away, as long as one or two hotties send pics. In their mind, the request weeds out the undesirable.
There is a well-reviewed massage guy on this board who asks for a photo. I'm surprised no one has mentioned it. He claims he asks for it because he wants to know whom to expect at his apartment's call box. His intercom has a camera. He says he feels safer buzzing someone in whom he recognizes and expects.
Regarding those who fear the worst, anyone in the service industry who is determined to hurt you isn't going to last very long. All it takes is one leaked hurtful episode, and the guy will need to find another career, another source of income. Some guys are crazy, for sure (never book with a known drug addict), but if you shoot the wallet that feeds you and pays your rent, then guess what, you might as well shoot yourself dead.

Why not just avoid the situation and not send a photo?  Why put your photo in a text exchange? It all seems harmless and low risk until it isn’t. 

Call us paranoid if you like, but I'm not sure that not wanting to send selfies of oneself is really paranoia. What if I'm a closeted doctor fearful of being outed, what if I'm locally known, what if there's a high chance of being recognized and my private life exposed that I'm trying to keep secret? I don't think it's paranoia to not want my picture 'out there'. Many people don't want their pics even up on social media. If someone is out already or just doesn't mind anyone finding out about their sessions, all power to them. It doesn't mean that those not like that are paranoid. 
I realize as @SouthOfTheBorder said, that I could be secretly being recorded. That's not in my control. The risk that is in my hands is all that I can control and nothing else. There's a gamble being taken by both the provider and the client, and both acknowledge that. Trying to think of ways to protect everyone is a smart idea, but I don't think requiring a photo does much to really provide security. If it's to identify who's at the door, then asking for a description is as secure as asking for a photo. Again, at the end of the day, both sides are accepting a certain level of risk.

Yeah, another thread was started here:
