Yes there are a variety of reasons why men visit one or the other. Here are a mix of pros and cons for each from MY experience as a indy massage provider:
MP
- just lay there and have the girl do all the work for about half the price of an sp
- get the right girl and she'll kiss you and let you daty (plus other non intercourse related items)
- know what you're getting before committing to a payment (line up of ladies before cash is exchanged)
- sometimes can be rushed out of the appointment because men walking in are the next transaction and she has to be quick on the draw
- it's a lot more intimate building up to the orgasm by tease and denial when the girl is in control the whole time
- duos are not as easily arranged
- the girl is already there at the incall (spa)
- session times are a tad more strict because you are in a place where time counts
- some clients are religious so no sex is a big seller
- some men do feel it is not cheating as it's a massage for your WHOLE body, penis included
- people are turned on by touch (as it's a basic necessity for all humans)
- some spas are not all that clean (improper hygiene practices with sheets and bottles)
- it's all safe, no condoms needed (bare hjs can feel better than covered sex)
- massage is a skill that can be taught and is transferable to other avenues (not just sexy ones - actual relief of pain, other job opportunities, etc)
- you have more time to chat (during massage) and get connected (personality wise)
- not many do outcalls so you have to make the effort to get there
- a great way for newbies to the hobby to understand how it all works (how to act, how to be presentable, payment options, etc)
SP
- most are indy and therefore all the money goes to them
- a good half of them are "safe" and won't kiss or let you daty for the price you pay
- YOU do all the grunt work instead of relaxing and letting her take care of you
- sex and BJs of course are allowed
- some girls are way too mechanical and just lay there for you to pump into
- you control when you cum and how quick
- duos are more common to find in sp
- the girl can be running late or has to cancel and you don't find out until you arrive early
- sessions times are flexible (to a degree) for an indy sp
- it's a lot more than just sex (to the right provider), it's a HUGE turn on to have sex with multiple partners a day
- most make safety a high priority and therefore sex with a condom is a must
- a huge ego boost to the older clients who like to bang young hotties when they wouldn't have a chance otherwise
- sexual variety (can get a lot crossed off the bucket list that the spouse wont do)
- incalls or outcalls are easily done
- intimate extended hours appointments are easier to arrange (like over nights and dinner dates) to thoroughly enjoy her as a whole
This is a rough idea and of course points could be for either category, and could be debated for each case. Really what it comes down to is what the client is looking for when the mood strikes, and what is available to him/her.
