Massage Parlor Reports

[QUOTE=VilunyaChert]IMO you guys are way too trusting. Of course your folding money is safe at any established place. But I for one am not about to leave my ID, my credit cards, and so on, back in the room when I'm getting a shower. Every single massage parlor (Asian or otherwise) that I have been to in the last 40 years has had a little waterproof bag for your personal belongings (except for a few that only had lockable lockers, like Marlow's in CT; and that always made me uneasy, I knew damned well Marlow had a duplicate key). Take it with you to the shower, sauna, wherever. Of course you would know immediately if your cash is lifted. But if your credit card is run through an embosser, and 3 months later a charge from some random business shows up on your bill, how would you ever connect that with the AMP? And if someone can get to your ID without your knowing, all kinds of bad stuff can happen--again, with no trail back to the AMP. Why take any chances?[/QUOTE]All good ideas. However, to remove the possibility altogether, I always just leave my wallet with ID etc. in a hidden spot in my car. That's less enticing in really sketchy areas, but for most places it's pretty safe. That way I don't even have to worry about it when I'm in the MP.

An added bonus is that I decide beforehand what I want to spend. I bring only that much in with me and it prevents the little head from getting the better of me.

[QUOTE=Tomuni]Hello,

I was wondering if anyone had visited here. This add is in CL under theraputic. It seems to suggest more might be avaiable and also seems like they may give a good massage.[/QUOTE]I spoke with them to see what they were about and I plan on checking them out.

I ended up goig to FY instead only because I was in the area.

Your true words have been spoken, have had the little head do that before.

The same folks I believe re opened on highland ave in needham but are now closed.

Literally was at ATM before I went. Heck had receipt in my wallet. I was expecting a. 4 tip but brought. 6 in case. After massage only. 2 was in wallet. And I was relaxed and pissed at same time cause I didn't have enought for the expected finish.

Was wondering if anyone had the op to try out crylstal' massage on N shore. Saw on CL last 4 # 2906. Looks good may try. Let me know if you have.

[QUOTE=Slee Stack53]I have visited 2x and have had a fair massage with no extras.

I was draped the whole time and it waas pretty clear to me that there would be no extra activity, even on the second visit. I will not be returning.[/QUOTE]Thanks for the intel. Without coming out and saying it, the "Mamasan" I spoke with hinted heavily of extras. I was fooled.

I went to FY this afternoon. First time that I've tried it. Last time I tried Golden Water in Arlington hoping for a HE, but that was a bust. I had read the reviews on FY and was hoping for the best.

Showed up and was greeted by a pretty good looking woman, I think her name was Tracey, probably about a 7. Paid the house fee of $70, and wasn't offered a table shower. Went straight to the massage.

Overall the massage was decent. Not great but okay. There were several other mongers coming in around the time I was there, and it was a little annoying having the other woman keep hounding Tracey about whether she was finished yet or not (in Chinese).

So on the flip she kept me pretty well covered, but she started telling me how handsome I was. I played along thinking things would turn out well, but when she finished and I took off the towel and asked for more, she said no way. I tried to endear myself to her. Saying all the right things, and that I'm not a cop, etc. But there was no joy whatsoever.

So my question. What am I doing wrong? Other places (different states) that I've been haven't been nearly this difficult. Are there any reliable places in Watertown or Cambridge or Somerville that I can count on? Sorry to whine. But I'm getting sick of dropping $70-$100 bucks for nothing!

Needless to say, I left very frustrated today.

Slic Ric,

It sounds like the only thing you're doing wrong is expecting a HE on the first visit, because they have no idea who you are. You'd have to become a repeat customer or read back through the posts to learn "tactics" for trying to get a HE on the first try. Going from shop to shop visiting only once at each is going to bring you a lot of frustration down the line. Especially in MA - if you're looking for everything in one visit, your absolute best bet is Rhode Island, seriously.

Tracy's actually the oldest lady at FY - in her 50s, believe it or not. But she's got an amazing rack. Go back and you'll probably find out.

Table showers are no longer offered at FY - part of the Arlington crackdown a few months back.

My suggestion: if at first you don't succeed, try, try again!

I noticed a couple numbers here of less publicized AMPs and wonder if this might be somekind of underground list?

An interesting find, WebDog!

I just randomly translated a line in iGoogle (their language translation option).

I took Line 10, which reads:
亞洲健康推拿中心 -- 沒有資料 -- 617-8*8-3**3
and it translated as:
Asian health Massage Center -- Flow Control -- (same number)

Haha, "Flow Control?"
I like that sound of that!

Webdog.......With a little effort you will find your answer!

I already did!!!

Pretty good amount of effort went into this list.

I hit up google language tools a translated the entire page. It's a list of AMP providers. Some of which are familiar (angel, sakura) and many I'm not familiar with at all, but sounds inviting.

I would love for someone who is fluent in Chinese and who knows the game to read the list and provide an assessment. Some of this list a English-to-Chinese translation of common names ("Blue Moon", etc).

But some of these are clearly Chinese-only names which nonetheless sound very promising using the Google translator -- "Wishful Club" or "Happy Palace" and "Warm Rendezvous" or "Triumph Palace"

Would be curious to know more. Granted these could just be the same AAMPs we all know (and I refuse to go back to) but there is something enticing about it.

Wiseass claims he knows the answer, but I don't think he does.

I saw a place advertised on the adult massage section of the Phoenix as Waltham Wellness, route 20. Called and who I think answered was an older Chinese lady. Wonder if anybody has used this place. Really don't want to go to a place with very old Asian massuses.

Thanks

Jack
