Engage Services of Escorts and/or Masseurs Who Request Your Photograph???

[+ Axiom2001]

Last week I perused the ads at https://rentmasseur.com who are located in the San Francisco Bay Area.  One super-hot masseur's ad caught my eye.  As I read and viewed, I noticed that in his ad he'd requested a photo of his client prior to accepting and confirming his appointments.  That sealed the deal for me; I NEVER have and will CONTINUE NOT to send any photos of me prior to any physical appointments.  I've engaged the services of escorts as well as masseurs throughout the years and have NEVER had to send any photographs of self.  In fact, I have none to send, for the few photos of me are too large to send anyway.  If these men can't accept me sight unseen-- forget them.

Have ANY OF YOU men experienced what I noted and have given in to the request of the providers?

I've had a few providers ask to see a photo when we booked; none of them ever canceled over it. Generally I offer a photo because I feel like I've already seen them. And I'd like to know who I'm meeting with. 

But I'm incredibly publicly gay so there's no reason for me to be discrete about it. Other people have valid reasons to want discretion.

If it’s essential to know what I look like before he lets me in, I send a not-great face shot once the appointment is set. “You look better in person” should be the response when you arrive.

I'm the opposite. I send that photo that says, " I'm trying to look so Hot you'll offer a discount!"

If I know for sure I want to hire someone and I don't have an indication that the guy is screening out clients because he only wants hot, young men as clients, I don't mind sharing a photo.  I actually used to just regularly send a photo of myself to guys I emailed, and usually the guys were appreciative though occasionally one would reply that I didn't need to do that. I figured that if someone did want to screen me out due to looks I'd rather they do that before we set a firm appointment.  Then again, I also used to contact lots of providers on Adam4Adam and had my face visible in my profile, so I wasn't concerned about escorts being able to identify me.

Good for you!, but Yeah…no…that   expectation is about 30yrs back in my rear-view mirror!

I’m not looking for a discount. I’m into presence, sense of humor and eye contact, which Is evident once we begin, but photos can’t substitute. And the gamble of initial chemistry is really part of the fun. I have never had a meet up without a voice phone call. No talk, no dice. Trade a face pic for 15 min of conversation?

Yes, I was just kidding about the discount .... I'd really question how legitimate the guy was if he's giving discounts on looks but maybe that does happen? 🤔

I feel the same way. If someone is going to be so not into me, they can't even get it up professionally, please let me know in advance.

I am with you. I am hiring a masseur and paying for a service - how I look like should not matter to him as long as I pay for the price agreed for hiring him.

Ditto, I don't mind sending a head shot (the upper head, not the lower) though I haven't been asked many times. Only ghosted once so far - annoying, but he missed out on a clean, respectful client who shows up when he says he will and always tips generously.

I like the surprise of what my client looks like when I open the door. Some clients send pics but I really don’t want them, it’s much better to not know what the client looks like. 

I met a client a few months ago at his hotel. He said he’d have his partner with him this time. That’s fine by me, as long as they know what the meeting is about. I’ve seen the client on his own previously, he’s around 55 and in average shape. He likes me to massage him on the bed (I don’t like bed massage but hey, he’s paying so he calls the shots) and he enjoys a lot of body contact and sucking etc. Lovely guy and he seems to enjoy my style as he’s a regular. 

I didn’t know what to expect by way of his partner, or what they both wanted. I just assumed they’d each have a massage and it would probably end up with the 3 of us at some point during the session. My client doesn’t specify a duration and as it’s a hotel out call I usually block out at least 3 hours just in case. 

I turn up to the hotel on the day and text to say I’m in the lobby (hotel requires key to access the lift, it’s one of those 5 star ones in central London). My client says he’ll be down to get me.  As the lift opens I see my client (he’s very recognisable) and with him is a slim dark haired and olive skinned female I’m guessing around 35, who he introduces to me as his partner. This was a big surprise to me, I’d expected a guy as his partner…although I hadn’t completely discounted a female partner. 

In the lift to the room she is chatty and very engaging. Once we’re in the room my client says he’d like to watch me massage his partner, so that’s what happens. I massage her as he watches (fine with me, an audience is always welcome) and he occasionally gives us direction. She’s very responsive and interactive so the massage goes well. 

For me the surprise was a good thing. Had I been sent a pic beforehand it would probably have taken the edge off the session. I do wonder whether my client had hired her for the session. They clearly knew each other and were very comfortable but I got the feeling she was a professional. Anyway my client was happy and he saw a good show lol.
