Planning a trip for the end of this year and am planning to get a massage..with full hard happy ending (thinking Olive Salon or Redline?), and another appointment for an Escort place (Gym-k?).  Do those places sound good?

I am wondering if they prefer younger customers?  I am white and will be 54 soon.  I will be working out and dieting to lean up for the trip, which was totally worth it last year when I went to Thailand and my VERY muscular massage guy complimented my stomach area after I said how muscular he was.   What I am trying to say is I am in decent shape but I am worried about my age.

I'll be travelling with my taiwanese boyfriend who just turned 50, but he could pass for 30. 

That being said I do feel more interested in older escorts/massage boys, but there aren't many over 30.

Appreciate any comments!

These guys are only doing what they are doing, because they get paid.  I would guess that the rare guest is actually attractive to them.  

You look the way you look.  You are your age.  Don’t worry about it.

The one thing that you can do that really would make a difference is to be a nice respectful guy with good hygiene.    That is something that I am sure they would appreciate.

I agree with everything  @Travelling guy wrote but will add: tip generously (above the minimum) if you have received good service.  Masseurs are not getting rich working in a massage shop & they depend on the generosity of their customers.

Thanks for the comments.  For sure I will be as clean as possible and tip for sure.  I am sure I worry too much. 

I wasn't sure about tipping but in this type of work I assume it is accepted.

sometimes there are reviews of the massuer on the website and some states they prefer mature men.  or ask the booker / mamasan to recommend one that prefers older men.  yes high tip helps esp if yoou are a returning customer.

Yes thats a good plan! 

@Blahlol...good to hear!  I'm guessing it's not uncommon to the massuer then to have older customers.

Hello, I have engaged all the places you mentioned, so I will share some of what I know.

The tip is fixed, it is shown on their website based on the duration etc, you don’t need to tip more. Payment is also collected upfront. Regarding the hygiene factor, in most/all cases, they will request for you to shower before beginning, they will also shower too. You can do it together especially if they go your place.

For more specifics about the places:

olive - communication was via LINE. I had a bad experience where he ghosted me btw. Admin does not speak English, he will use a translator from LINE. You can check the staff schedule on their website which admin will ask you to check before booking. Admin will not check for further/later dates for you.

Gym-k - communication was via email. They can reply to you in English. There was no massage here, the boy will go straight to it, if that is your thing? For the 2 I met, pictures are accurate, although they don’t share face pic beforehand. If you are polite and nice, admin could help you check for their availability beforehand (meaning beyond what their schedule shows in the website, and especially for the popular ones).

redline - communication was via WhatsApp. Admin can speak some English. You can see SOME of the boys face beforehand if you pay a 2000 yen deposit fee physically. This 2000 yen will only be offset if you make a reservation immediately, meaning when you meet your boy and assuming the agreed fee is 17000 yen, they will only collect 15000 from you because you paid the deposit. You will be asked to go down to a family mart location near Shibuya to meet. On top of the face pic that admin has, I was lucky enough to see a few boys physically there who are available on that day itself so if you get to see that, you can also choose the boy you like on the spot. reservation for redline is the most limited/short notice among the 3 places you mentioned as it can only be made 3 days in advance. Admin won’t help you check for availability even if you ask earlier (eg 1 week in advance).

I hope the above is useful and hope you have a good time whichever establishment you choose.

Uncommon to have younger customers, I suspect!

Thank you for sharing your experiences.

Every lunar cycle nudges us slightly older and we are all marginally older since this topic was entered, but all OK as consumers. 😝😣
