I'm replying to my own post lol.
I think it's the way it is because 9x out of 10 the person you're seeing just isn't into it (nor should they be, tbh, it's a business). The best experiences I've had were from private massage practitioners who may provide something extra if there's a connection (or you're clean, attractive to them, whatever). Basically, someone who actually does massage but is okay with extras if you're cool, if that makes sense. And not someone who takes a dozen appointments a day, all with happy endings. I've found these women don't exist much anymore, but they definitely did 6 or 7 years ago when I jumped into this.
I can't speak to SP's, but if it's your job to have sex with x-number of guys a day, you're gonna have a hard time being genuine.
When it comes to the MA's that I personally had experience with years ago, but don't seem to exist anymore, the feeling was that they provided massages and if they liked you (or in some cases, were in the mood) you could leave happy, or even ecstatic in some cases. I likened it to if I, a guy, provided massage services. Most of the people coming through my door would not be "my type" and they'd all be asking for a happy ending. I wouldn't be super into it. Unless I was attracted to them, they were nice, respectful, etc.
I can say I haven't even come close to matching the fun I had pre-covid, let alone c. 2017/18 where there WERE some genuine experiences, even though it was paid for. There absolutely were some horny women who provided massage, not just for the money. I literally had conversations about this topic with a few of them, and they absolutely admitted they got excited when they got a client they were attracted to. Just as any of us guys would have a good time (potentially great time!) if a sexy woman stripped down and paid us to massage them

I can guarantee you I saw many that did this on the side for the occasional thrill of massaging someone they found attractive. Those they didn't, they made $80 giving a massage. Those they did, they also got something other than money.
