SamMiller213 Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 After some inflation, noticing a good number of masseurs dropping their rates back down? I think they’re starting to realize that most aren’t willing to pay $200+ for a 60min rub. Penn7, Vulgarii, Medin and 3 others 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traveling guys may differ from normal. They tend to have a captive audience depending on where they’re going and how long they’re staying. If few good options are normally available in a given market, that can drive up demand, and with it, prices. When I travel, I keep my prices constant and have no lack of appointments filling my schedule from morning to night. At least twice as many same day requests I have to turn down because I’m booked. I could easily charge more based on that high demand but I prefer having plenty of others ready and willing to snatch an appointment when someone else cancels or no-shows. Pricing is not a barrier to seeing me as much as availability is, so I fill in those spots very quickly with same day requests. Suddenly people get a lot less picky about start time when there’s one spot left, take it or leave it. $200+ for (1) hour of *actual* massage is bonkers. At that rate bracket, I would expect a lot of extras, rip-off schemes, unskilled massages, time shorting, or other unprofessional shenanigans. I charge $195 for 90 mins and it’s truly an excellent massage. My 60 min massage is $140. A lot of other pro masseurs hover between $120-$160. Much more than that and something is not right. Either that, or you’re getting much more than massage and you’re paying for it. Which is fine by the way, it’s just not fair to compare with regular massage sessions. It’s a different service. Apples and oranges. I acknowledge local markets differ. NYC, LA, SF and others will naturally be much higher across the board. + Vegas_Millennial, themsg, kingsley88 and 6 others 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capitano Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 (edited) In my experience, it's a mixed bag, some are trying to establish $200 as the new norm, but they seem to be getting less business here in central & eastern FL. I refuse to try these two guys in Tampa because of their $200 rate, and I notice that they are often "available" on rentmasseur. AustralianTouch on RentMasseur RENTMASSEUR.COM View my profile on RentMasseur.com Ian_Yosh on RentMasseur RENTMASSEUR.COM View my profile on RentMasseur.com I can get top notch massage from an insanely hot guy like Shea in Orlando for $150. Plus he gives a nice break on 90-minute massages, whereas those guys want $300. No way, I can give Shea a nice tip and still save money.

Shea on RentMasseur RENTMASSEUR.COM View my profile on RentMasseur.com ... I noticed the same from guys here in Vegas. Most of the expensive ones show “Available Now” more often. Not saying that it’s a good indicator but it could still say something about who’s getting work and who’s not. As someone who gets 1-2 (sometimes 3!) massages a month, I have seen very many guys here both local and traveling, and I always ask them, “How’s business going for you?” Lo and behold, the ones who have affordable rates always say, that at the very least it’s been decent; and those with the more expensive rates say it’s been slow since the pandemic and that they wish they get more business.

DavidShaw Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 Depends on the location. In NYC a one hour massage is $50 and then a happy ending is an extra $40. The most I spent in NYC was $150 for a good massage and suck hot Asian twink dick. Washington DC is more expensive. The massage will cost at least $100 it seems.

That price better include all kinds of extras! The max price I will pay is usually $200 for 90 minutes (for a two-handed; understandably, a 4-handed will cost more). Any time I've paid more than $200, I've usually regretted it. JUWS, Medin, TennisPro35 and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTMike Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 I'm seeing a split in the market of the professionally trained/certified keeping the rates more in line with historical rates and the "escorty-based" temporarily dabbling escort/onlyfan/social media focused providers (with masseur profiles), going way up to see what they can get.

I see a LOT of escorts advertising on massage sites and they have NO idea how to massage At least half of them have the decency to UNcheck the "Therapeutic" option on their profile. Although some dont even have an intention of massaging you. I asked one fellow about his therapeutic massage rates and he answered it was $400. I countered that maybe he didn't understand me..I was asking about MASSAGE. He answered that it was all the same rate for one hour. So I'm guessing his "massage" was going to be a lot of lotion and rubbing his dick in my face. 🙄 Edited May 27, 2023 by pubic_assistance grammar Capitano, Medin, Simon Suraci and 2 others 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard agree. If an actual good massage is important to you, be mindful of the split. It’s usually easy to spot one type versus another. There’s a market for the guys who aren’t offering anything resembling actual massage. That’s fine, just know what you’re getting. The rates are usually the biggest indicator, followed by the pics, and of course the descriptions can be telling but not always. Evaluate them like you would an escort. + ButchAtl, Capitano, GTMike and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie21 Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Here’s the clues to help you identify the escorts dabbling in massage. Usually at least one or more of these signs means he’s not going to give you a decent massage: He’s using baby oil. None of his pics feature a massage table The rate has lots of menu pricing options The rate is ‘ask me’. He’s available within an hour’s notice He offers half hour massage He needs a picture of you to book a session None of those in isolation is a sure thing rub and tug (except baby oil) but 2 or 3 of them means that when you’re on the table (or more likely his bed) after 5 minutes his finger will be up your ass. A proper sensual masseur wouldn’t slip it in until at least 70% of the session time has passed 😉 Lohengrin1979, + KensingtonHomo, EastbayMike and 7 others 4 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
