That's too bad. He does have a lot of great reviews on RM, but that is not my measuring stick. This is where I come to for reliable information.

Someone brought this to my attention and figured I'd weigh in since my name's attached. 

The guy told me upfront he was new to this. Showed up with an attitude from the jump — making comments about the room before he even sat down. Then went straight to the bathroom, and for someone with so much to say about it being a "shitty Motel 6," he had no problem making it one. And what he left behind spoke for itself. Rushed through a shower that clearly didn't get the job done either.

During the massage he was stiff as a board the entire time, then decided to get handsy and help himself to something that was never discussed, never agreed to, and definitely not on the table — especially from someone who still smelled like he skipped a step. That's a boundary, and he crossed it.

What was booked was a massage. What was delivered was a massage. Everything else in his review is about expectations he brought with him, not anything I promised.

10 verified five-star reviews on RentMen. 100% recommendation rate. One uncomfortable encounter with someone who showed up unprepared, disrespectful, and overstepped doesn't change that.

I've never understood clients complaining about the level of hotel an escort is staying in.  Who cares if it's a Motel 6 or a luxury hotel if you're only hiring someone for an hour?  If it's the neighborhood one doesn't like, then it's on the client to know the area where he's hiring and to decline to book if the escort is in a part of town you don't want to go to or, in the alternative, provide a place to host.

All that said, obviously we're going to be left with a "he said, he said" here.  On the one hand, if a provider truly is only offering massage services then I don't understand advertising on Rent.men because that's just going to make potential clients believe more than massage is available.  On the other hand, BrandinHawk's ad, when read carefully, doesn't indicate anything explicitly sexual (oral or anal) other than rimming so despite an indication that he offers a "boyfriend experience" it's up to the client to ask what's actually being offered.  Only BrandinHawk and Jordoncrag know what was discussed in advance, so we don't know whether the OP confirmed what he wanted was available or whether he simply didn't ask.

Reads as an escort ad to me, not a massage ad.

did you communicate/discuss specific plans/expectations before the meeting?......or just set up a time and place?........we definitely have a "he said/he said" going on here now........three sides to every story!

@hawk, it’s good that you have had the opportunity to respond.  Perhaps a bit more emphasis on objective fact rather than offensive embellishment might help you come out like smelling roses though.  Since it seems you’re southern, I’m sure you’re well trained in the gentle art of verbal self defense…use it   But, either way, it’s clear there’s more to the story and you deserve to be heard  

@Jordoncrag, I do have a sense - right or wrong - that you left out some relevant details in your OP.  These guys have a tough job.  Assist them with clearly defined expectations, outstanding hygiene, respect for both them and their “home” and a bit of grace and they’ll want you coming back for more.  First meetings are especially awkward and warrant a ton of grace in the review arena.

I suspect that both sides might learn something from this encounter if yiu assess how this escalated  into a bad experience for both of you

I agree 100 %. The BB vids and pics all show escort ad.

Exactly!!  In December of last year, a provider with whom I met three times in 2024 was back in New Orleans visiting with friends just as he had done then.

We were going to meet up again with me hosting in my home town 80 miles Northwest on a Saturday before he departed on Monday.  When he had to back out of those plans, he wanted to meet up at a $49/night (I’m not joking!) motel Sunday afternoon on the Westbank in New Orleans,  I politely told him I’d made other plans for Sunday.

When a good friend and relatively new client based in New Orleans asked why I backed out (I had not told him about the proposed venue), I replied, “Because I value my life!”

Parts of New Orleans can be dicey!!!

I do not read Brandin as saying he does not offer escort svcs vs that's not what was booked and therefore off the table. If that, reasonable - you get what you schedule. If not that, then agree the ad is false advertising.

To be fair, many escorts plan on a massage when only a massage is mentioned.   They also price accordingly at a much lower price than full service.    I still think @hawk has not been fairly treated with the accusation in this post and I’m glad someone made him aware of it.

This is very accurate. Many people contact via rentmen asking for massage only, sometimes they may only want a sensual massage, or they are scared about writing down what they REALLY want, which is completely understandable (although frustrating at times) A lot of clients are nervous full stop.

Then there is a particular type of client that deliberately asks for massage only prices, but then try to receive full service upon meeting.  (I always make it clear of the price structure before hand to avoid this)

I fear the OP was offended when full service was not on the menu for the massage rate. Often rentmen are happy to upscale the session to full service rate when the client is comfortable (dick is rock hard) and asks for the next level. But by asking for massage only - it does also leave room for the provider to say "no this is massage only." And in cases where hygiene is an issue, well often the clients that have these issues are oblivious to it. 

The OP has left 6 contributions to the forums so far, 3 of which have ranged between completely negative to somewhat negative- and all mention MASSAGE ("great massage but not consistent" "i was 15 min late so we went straight to bed no massage and no offer to extend time" "airbnb was small") To me these comments indicate a client who is overly critical and extremely fussy,  Like someone who posts bad yelp reviews when a restaurant makes them wait 5min for a table or doesn't refill the water quick enough. 

The only way we will know the truth is if the provider or client chooses to post a screenshot of MASSAGE ONLY discussion which i encourage either to do - [whilst redacting identifying numbers/screen names of course and staying within forum rules] 

[+ PhileasFogg]

Well @SecretProvider, we agree on all points 😉

Before I became more confident, I’d always say “let’s start with massage and see where it goes based on our chemistry”.  But I was not trying to get something for less.   Plus, the first visit gives an opportunity to talk about mutual comfort levels for our next visit.  Never had a bad experience handling it that way.

Screen shots are problematic as they might contain identifiable information.

How does one show up “unprepared” for a massage only?

Unwashed and unclean.

Poor guy is being dragged around unnecessarily. Lots of piling on happening, IMHO.

How much washing and cleaning does a client need to do for a massage only session? There’s no dispute that the OP showered before the massage only session. And that wasn’t enough preparation for it according to the provider.

Ummmm - reread @hawk’s reply.  It’s pretty clear what may have happened.

My first few times, I’ll tell ya…even though it was just a massage, my bowels cut loose from nerves just before the guy arrived.   No matter how much I tried to prep for that to not happen

so how much washing is required? fully soaped up ALL areas of body, including under arms, under balls, inside ass crack, around or even a little inside your hole, fully cover your cock and pull back foreskin if you have one, rinse all water off. Repeat if you can. then fully dry off. ideally brush teeth or at least gargle some mouthwash to freshen up if you are wanting kissing. You should wash yourself with vigor and be overly thorough. Treat it as if someone is about to inspect every inch of your body - which is generally what happens in a massage!  Not just a quick rinse of water over your back or some water splashed on your face. 

Just because the client showered, does not mean he has done so properly.  Not everyone has the awareness of hygiene, and it is really awkward and difficult to tell someone without offending. 

True Story - I offered a gentleman to have a shower when he arrived dripping with sweat and B.O and he said "i showered this morning." I said, "well I had one 10 minutes before you arrived, why don't you have another one now and freshen up - don't worry about the time it takes to be all clean, the session will not start until you are out of the bathroom."   A normal person would read between the lines and go and throughly clean themselves, but this guy was in and out in probably under a minute.  During the session he wanted me to suck him off and when I went down there I had to cut the session and say 'look we need a break, I need you to go back and really take your time cleaning up and washing everything down there, ok?'  he replied "but why?"  like I said earlier - OBLIVIOUS. I don't know if he wasn't wiping his ass properly or not, but the smell of shit, ball sweat and pre-cum is not a pleasant aroma for the best of us. The second time he went in the shower for maybe 2 minutes. Clearly not clean.  I said, 'no no, let me come in with you' and had to wash him down myself.

Some people are freaks about cleanliness and you sound like one. I was going along with you half sympathizing but then you lost me when you complained about the smell of precum. I think you are in the wrong business if you object to that.

I’m not entirely convinced that he is.

If this is what you require for a massage only session, I don’t want to know what you require for a full escort session.

Ever had an anoscopy? How much do you respect your doctor, or yourself? If the expected massage is sensual, I would think it common sense to be as clean as possible. No different than a scheduled hook-up. I don't go to a sensual massage appointment without douching first, just in case the guy wants to play. I'm not the type to request things. I like the mystery, and I don't care about sex, as long as the massage is good.

I've never needed to take a dump upon visiting a massage therapist. But nerves can play a role in how our digestive system works. Far too often horny men don't pay attention to their diet, and don't think to prepare properly for such an encounter.

The last thing I expect from a masseur is for him to take viagra. That strikes me as very weird, and oddly demanding.

Last but not least, I'm dead on arrival with certain foul odors. Some men never learn how to properly clean themselves, and I'm talking every orifice. What is a service provider supposed to do in these unfortunate circumstances?
