Age Requirement Question

I've always wanted to go to a massage parlor but don't want to show up and them say I am not old enough (I'm 19). So from anybody's experiences, do massage parlors enforce a strict, must-be-over-21 rule?
And the same for escort services, do most escorts not see guys under 21 or is it just the personal preference of each provider?

Thanks for reading and would appreciate any insight as I can not find an answer to this question anywhere else.

This piqued my curiosity, so I went to the Texas Department of State Health Services website and found the Massage Therapy Licensing Program regulations (http://www.dshs.state.tx.us/massage/mt_rules.shtm), which states that if you are 17 or under, you need the written permission of a parent or guardian, so legally you're fine. HOWEVER, some parlors may set their own age limitations, so you're just going to have to call ahead, laddie, and if you still look like you're in high school, be prepared to offer up your driver's license or birth certificate for proof of age if asked.

As for providers and their age restrictions, it's strictly personal preference, usually based on experience. To be straight up, and don't take offense because I'm going to be harsh, many young fellows are disrespectful and try to push the boundaries; are too energetic, bounce back too many times, and/or haven't learned the gentle art of seduction and pound the poor lady to death; are unpredictable and undependable and may not show up for appointments; don't have as much disposable income as their older counterparts and may try to haggle; or just BECAUSE they're young, may think themselves too much of a "God's gift to women" to pay full price.

You are more likely to get an appointment with an escort closer to your own age, sweetie, somewhere between 19-25. I entertain younger fellows on a case-by-case basis, but it's fairly rare for me to see anyone under 30. There have been a few exceptions, the youngest an extremely bright PhD of 22. I have a couple of regulars now in their later 20's who have been calling on me since their mid-20's. A lot is going to depend on how you approach the lady and what you say. If you sound like an overeager kid in a candy store for the first time, you may scare them off. Above all, be polite and precise, do your research and don't ask inappropriate questions, and I suggest in this case you not use the word "ma'am" in your conversation. It will either make them feel old, or coupled with a youthful voice, will have them thinking you're underage. Be prepared to show THEM proof of age, as well.

General Warning: If a young guy calls me "mommy," I'll boot his behind out of my bed so fast and hard that he may need a diaper afterward. Fancy don't do dat fantasy.
lol thanks b2pop, when did you start?

& yes, those are all good reasons. That's about as comprehensive as you can get in your reasons, thanks!
all that advice is helpful and very much appreciated!! One more question if i may ask...If looking for a 19-25 year old provider (which is what I am interested in)...How do I make sure they are clean & dd free? Is that just a risk I have to take?

Reviews, hon, reviews. Learn to use the ECCIE search functions (and it may be different for the men's side, I don't know) to plug in age and other stats you'd like. If they have a history of good reviews, they are more likely to be girls who are being cautious and taking care of their health and yours. Fastest way to kill a girl's business is rumors of STD's, and if the guys here think something is the least bit hinky they WILL include it in the ROS, "rest of story," portion of reviews. Unless you have paid premium access, you can't see that, so I highly encourage you to pony up for it if you're serious about doing this.

Just follow normal safety procedures. Alas, I won't lie; there is always a risk. You have to decide what's acceptable and what's not. Be careful, and any lady who offers you BBFS for a higher price, escape immediately and post her name here.


I suggest that you pay a little more and see a well-established provider with excellent reviews the first time, IF you can pass her screening. Then write a review. It will help establish your credibility. Irish luck in lust.
If I were a young man who wanted to experience a provider for my first time or even first few times *wink* I honestly think I would want that to be with an Independent in a private setting. I think there is value in the security of seeing someone in the hobby who has a private location and less of a massage parlor feel. Being fresh to this hobby I think making yourself comfortable in your surroundings is the first step.

That being said, I agree with everything FancyinHeels just said about seeing an Independent! I am in my 30's and when a young man who is obviously at the tender age of "barely legal" tried to book with me 10 yrs ago it was still a very tough call to make to see them for all of the reasons FancyinHeels stated. The last young man I allowed at my door step who was barely 18yrs of age was a complete gentleman but again I had to send him home from pre-performance anxiety. I realize that part of building your confidence is to actually perform the act many times but I also don't want to experience that anxiety with you!! It's tough on everyone involved!!

Most of all do not get discouraged!! There are providers who are willing to see you. Just be forthright with your age and what you are looking for. Make sure you check reviews and ask the right questions. Just like you are doing now!!

Most of all have fun and play safe!!

I would suggest that you must always assume you are taking a risk in Hobbying it's just like going to the bar and picking up a woman. Would you use protection or not, etc.!!! You should always assume there is some risk!!! The amount of protection you want is your choice: such as CBJ vs BBBJ. Read alot of reviews and find a provider that you are interested in and PM her make sure you both are compatible.
Especially since you are so young some providers may be a little hesistant as previously stated by FancyinHeels. Anyway good luck!!!

True b2pop, I would go the route of always being protected, only exception maybe being a BBBJ. And yes, age does matter in things such as this. I thought once I hit 18 I would be good enough, but for us young bucks out here, its a bit of a struggle. We're looked at with a sharper eye lol. Thanks for the advice and the good luck
Just be sweet and you probably wouldnt have any problems.
