Several years ago I went to a Thai Spa for a massage.  I was asked the duration I desired, 30, 60 or 90 minutes and if I wanted a female, male or ladyboy to massage me.  Chose the 60 minute with a male and was led to the room and told to get comfortable.  I undressed and got onto the table, which was a standard massage table with the padded hole for my face at the head of the table.  Soon my masseur came into the room and began the massage.  He oiled my back and I enjoyed his firm hands massaging my back, strong hands.  He worked my back and neck, then my arms and legs and feet.  After my feet he moved to the top of the table and began rubbing my back from my neck down and as his hands moved down he gently allowed his crotch to touch the top of my head.  After doing this for some time (and it was hard to tell if he was hard) he moved to the other end of the table and began rubbing my legs up and down.  He then climbed on the end of the table and began rubbing from my butt to my neck and as he did that he allowed he would rub his crotch against my ass cheeks.  One of my first experiences and my mind is going crazy wondering how far this will go.  He then moved to the side of the table and was rubbing my back and now he was moving his crotch against my hand.  I could feel something, so I moved the position of my hand and began rubbing his growing cock through his pants.  At that point he asked me to turn over.  No hiding the excitement between my legs when I laid face up.  He began rubbing my stomach and thighs and made the JO motion with his hand.  I nodded yes and he began stroking my hard cock.  I was rubbing his cock through his pants and motioned for him to remove his pants.  He did and there stood a beautiful hard cock that was there for my enjoyment.  Excited beyond about what was happening it was over way too soon.  And so began my addiction to erotic massages.

Absolutely. I hire other massage therapists for a couple reasons: therapeutic massage and market research.
I like to know who is providing what so I can invest in my own development and stay competitive. I can’t and won’t give exactly the same massage as someone else, but it really helps to understand my competitors’ work and helps me give informed recommendations for those who may fit better with another provider. Sometimes it’s nice to offer an alternate for when I’m unavailable during the time a client requests.
In addition to my chiropractor appointments, I need regular therapeutic work since my job is so physically demanding. I also just really enjoy massages. The percentage of providers I will see for regular massages is very, very small. There’s a lot of nonsense in the business. Even among some of the good people, I am quite picky about massages. It’s expensive as you all know, so I want to spend my $ where it counts.
Some massage therapists hire me regularly because they recognize and appreciate - better than anyone - a high quality experience for a good value. I also collaborate with other therapists on 4-hand massages for clients that request it. For 4-hand, I have to know if the other provider and I work well together, if they’re reliable, what quality they deliver, etc.
Trading massage is a gamble. You never know how good it’s going to be with a new provider or if they are the right provider for you. It saves money, to be sure, but costs time (and availability, which = potential $). The best case scenario is to trade when each person is less busy, or less likely to be booked. I prefer to hire. If the therapist is a good fit for my needs and likes my work too, that’s the best case scenario for a trade.
I don’t hire for escort service (no interest or need), but I completely understand the reliability factor of being able to hire. My clients share horror stories of how much time they spend (and waste) on unreliable and/or bad connections on apps and websites. If you have to spend half your week doing that and it’s still bad, economically it makes sense to spend a few hundred dollars to get exactly what you want with who you want, when you want. It works no differently for providers.
We’re people too, with human needs and time limitations, no matter our level of conventional attractiveness. Sure some of us have more “options” as it were, but not all of them are options we actually want. We also value safety, quality of experience, compatibility, and reliability.
