Massage Parlor Reports

[QUOTE=TravelingTrain;2288645]Hey Mike,

I've been to rivers spa five times. Tried to get in good enough so that other possible menu options might open up. However even after knowing a few faces and names and them knowing me, sadly nothing extra had been offered. I even like to leave my tip money on the table to show them I'm serious. I too would be interested in seeing if any extras were offered.[/QUOTE]After 5 visits, if all you're getting is a massage, all you will ever get is a massage. Either they don't offer anything else or they've decided you're LEO. Based on Mike's post, I'm guessing it's the former.

[QUOTE=TravelingTrain;2288536]First time posting. However I've lurked for quite a while. I moved to the Charleston area a few years back. I've done my fair share of testing the waters. I always find my way back to zen. I saw on a new ad today that they are offering 4 hands. What are your guys thoughts on this? I'm a fairly regular there and sadly my favorites always move. So with the new faces there I'm wondering if having two girls might make them less apt for the He?[/QUOTE]Four hands is NEVER worth the money. NEVER.

Additionally, the Chinese AMPs in the CHS area, with the possible exception of the one on Ashley River Rd. , will NOT yield more than a good massage. And the one on Ashley River Rd. Will never yield more than HJ.

Now on the positive side, PH ALWAYS has great ladies and great service. For that, expect to pay. If they offer an exceptional woman, expect to pay an exceptional price. This kind of service is not for everyone. They don't try to be. They are aiming for a better clientele. Get over it.

But the truth is that four hands is for people too poor or cheap to pay for two mouths. As always, you get what you pay for, so if you can afford it just be smart about your selection. Vitality used to be good for this but they're down to just a few not-so-hot (to put it nicely) girls working there now.

It's not that I mind paying for great service. I don't. But is the service in line with the new upscale price?

I really don't want to have to invest in a half a dozen upscale visits to get the upscale service if you know what I mean.

It wasn't bad. But I can tell you that by and large, what we expect or would like from such encounters is never more than a fantasy. The truth is that without exception, being with another girl only serves to dampen the enthusiasm and performance of both women.

Don't waste your money.

BTW, the experience to which I alluded was with an older local provider named Annie W. I would love to see her again but can't seem to make contact with her. Do any of you punters know if she is still working? As usual, feel free to post or PM as you prefer.

Same experience. She blew my phone up with texts blaming me for a post on ThE otheR board.

She is, of course; a local "escort" cum "body rub therapist" who is trying desperately to remake herself as a CMT.

I say let's give her a chance. But if you see her and have a bad experience, please submit a report and let us all know.

Thanks in advance.

LexLuther.[/QUOTE]I saw this one when she just got back to town a few months ago. She was in a location off Savannah Hwy. Spent quite a while telling me her life story. Had she been nude, the story would have been MUCH more interesting!

Communication via phone and text was not the greatest. She even texted me a few days later (which is a big no no for me). I call and text you, you don't EVER call or text me unsolicited. Doesn't happen with my plumber or landscaper, and it shouldn't happen here.

Her location was nice, and her body was very nice to look at. As for her personality and her skills. She talked CONSTANTLY, and didn't seem to get very comfortable. Her service yielded only a hands on approach even though we discussed other matters of the oral flavor that never occurred. In conclusion, she is very high on herself, isn't that bad looking, but her personality and service left alot for me to desire. Did not and will not repeat.

However, as we all know YMMV.

That's the kind of report I had in mind. Well written, informative, and a big help to those who can read. Of course there will be those who believe it is too subjective and will call for a TER style thread, which I have been told is on its way. But for me, I will always rely on great contributors like Mr. VoyerinSC. I always know that if I don't find the info I want or need in his report, I can send him a PM and he will fill in the blanks.

But for those who can't read at a high school level, they will have their sterile new thread.

I felt like a nice massage yesterday with the possibility of a HE. I hadn't been to 1416 in quite some time, so I headed there. I drew Jessica. She is possibly mid 30's to mid 40's. Not particularly attractive, neither was she ugly. She would benefit from some make-up advice.

Jessica has a lot of story with her, particularly regarding her heritage. She seems to be the manager and speaks excellent English. She gave me a decent but not great massage. But I left without my HE.

So what I would like to know is if anyone has gotten more from her.

Thanks.

LexLuther.[/QUOTE]Same story. I've seen her 4 or 5 times.

I was told by Malisa that she will not do HEs. Malisa is out of the country in China for a while, but when back she has excellent skills and you will leave happy. Jessica I believe is from Hong Kong and is very straight.

Can you decode please?

Malisa told you that Malisa will not provide HE or Malisa told you that Jessica will not do HE?

Jack.[/QUOTE]Jessica will tell you that she is from Hong Kong. And you could look it as though that's where she is from. But if you quiz her a little more deeply, you will find that where she comes from is actually Seoul, ROK. It makes me wonder why she talks story so much about where she is from, who her husband is, etc. She told me her husband is retired Air Force. But I examined her car briefly as I left. According to the propaganda on her car, she is married to a retired Navy guy. So if she tells me something about her life, I will hesitate to believe it. She is not using good trade craft.

Most people will swallow it. But not me.

LexLuther.

Sorry if I was confusing, Malisa told me that Jessica would not do HE, Malisa will make you very happy with also an excellent massage. I have not seen Jessica myself, but it seems from reports that what Malisa shared is correct.

I really don't have any interest in a provider that only gives a good massage when there are providers who do excellent work and make you happy. My latest is May at Zen.

LexLuther.[/QUOTE]My take on the talking during the session is that I kind of don't want it to get too personal, especially when it's about their husband, kids, grandkids etc. I don't want them to clam up and not say anything but I don't want to know all about their home life either-it kind of ruins the fantasy for me in a way.

On a funny side note, about 8 or 10 years ago, I had two experiences within a week of each other. One was with my favorite dancer (at the time) at a club I used to frequent. I hadn't seen her in a few months and she mentioned that she had just got married to a Coastie right before my French lesson. A few days later, I was at the massage place that used to be off Main St. In Summerville (I think it was run by Lisa and she was busted but worked with LE to get out of it or something). She had another girl working with / for her at the time and I got a massage from the other girl. After the massage and a more generous flip than I was used to, I left and saw a Coastie wife sticker on her car.

It was a nice day for a drive, so that's what I did. Drove down to Okatie in order to visit Healing Touch. I drew an absolutely stunining young lady who called herself Ava.

Long story short, she gave me a lovely table shower, skillful HJ with prostate massage. Come to find out, she formerly worked at Zen in North Chuck prior to moving south. We discussed the Charleston AMP scene. Ava told me that there was a FS spa on Ashley Phosphate. She wasn't sure whether it was an Hispanic place or Anglo. So I am wondering if any of you guys know.

Thanks.

LexLuther.[/QUOTE]I am not positive on this but there was massage place in a strip mall on Ashley Phosphate that had a sign on the door with the word "MASSAGE" on it about 6 months ago. It got my Spidee senses up. I was with the significant other and I could not stop. Then I forgot about it until I saw this post. It is located in first strip mall after getting off of I 26 going toward Dorchester Road. It is before you get to the RR tracks. It is on the right side of the road. There was no sign or any mention of massage out by the road. Only a sign on the door. This strip mall has mostly Hispanic businesses in it. Hope these directions will help. I don't get to Charleston that often so that is why my directions are not exact. I know that I will not be able to get down there until the first of the year.

I have no idea as to what services are offered also I saw this place about last March.

LexLuther.[/QUOTE]Knowing how these ladies aren't too familiar with the geography, I bet she's thinking Silk Stalkings. They advertise in the body rub section, so it makes sense. I know of no others on Ashley Phosphate. If you find out, let us know.

This report is for MB (posted it the MB forum too) but I know some of my fellow mongers head up that way since it is close. Went to Lily and saw Sue. Nice looking gal. Massage was very good with lots of teasing and playing. Roaming allowed OTC and some under but she would not unhook that bra! Damn. In short, better than Crystal and but not as good as Zen. I read on the MB page that Rose is the one but she was not available. Not worth a trip just to go to Lily for Sue again but when I go back I will try to get Rose. Be safe my friends.

I got off of 26 onto APR heading toward Dorchester. The first and only strip mall before the RR tracks is perpendicular to APR. Most of the businesses in that mall are indeed Hispanic ones. There was nothing there that could have been a massage place, although there were numerous vacant properties. Possibly one of those had been the massaje place.

LexLuther.[/QUOTE]Lex. Thanks for doing the leg work. Sorry you come up empty (or still full as might be the case. . .).

By the way, Malisa is probably the only one at 1416 you should even consider seeing. She has been known to give a massage equal to the quality of those experienced Wappoo Road but with the ending you want. Of course, as always, YMMV.

LexLuther.

I don't know why I even try these places in Charleston. It is fine for an average massage and ending. No real playing. I have gotten to the point of preferring 1416 and Wappoo because the massage is good even though it is self serve at the end.

[QUOTE=LexLuther;2301878]Is Malisa possibly the owner? Jessica told me that there is a new owner as of the first of this current year and mentioned that the owner spends most of her time in China.

LexLuther.[/QUOTE]Lex -- at my last visit several months back, Malisa was not the owner. Malisa's family is in China and so she does spent some time there. Others on the board have also enjoyed Malisa's work so perhaps they can chime in but I never got the impression that she was the type who would gravitate toward administration and management.

My two cents worth.

My spidey senses had quit tingling when she told me about who she was massaging although I stopped by twice more and found it locked both times.

Zen is the best AMP in the Charleston area. But that's not much of a claim. As I get along in age, I need less quantity but more quality. So although I do occasionally frequent local Asian massage emporia, when I am looking to really treat myself, I drive to Asiana or Osaka.

But that's just me. You lot can suit yourselves.

LexLuther.[/QUOTE]I'm on your side here Lex. I got bored with Zen very quickly. I've had good experiences at AMPs out of town, not a lot but enough to know that what happens at Zen is actually kind of sad on the AMP scale.

Frankly, the way my fellow mongers fawn over the place on here makes me wonder how backwards and deprived this town really is.

[QUOTE=JohnStillBored;2304478]Frankly, the way my fellow mongers fawn over the place on here makes me wonder how backwards and deprived this town really is.[/QUOTE]Here's one major factor that makes this market suck: We seem to have a lot of people in this area who think they're going to get quality girls and premium service for something just barely north of a hundred bucks. Or maybe their standards are so low they actually think they're getting quality girls and premium service. Whatever the case, it's always true that you get what you pay for, and so the Charleston area market is crap.

If the reward isn't there, the provider has little if any incentive to take the risk and we are left with high quality providers who do very little, low quality providers who do a lot (sometimes, they're just desperate enough to run a $40 special but I've never been desperate enough to take them up on one) or low quality providers who think they're high quality providers and do very little for absurd fees given the number of see-section scars, missing teeth and blatantly false claims that she's 26.

The end result is a crap market.

On the flip, some of us have had the opportunity to shop in other malls so to speak and we know what a "product" is worth. At the end of the day, it kind of doesn't matter if the salesgirl is a 6 or a 10, a watch is still a watch and many of the girls that price themselves as Rolexes are selling Timexes. My advice is find yourself a good quality Swiss Army and stick with her.

Zen can be like an over hyped movie. If you go in expecting a fully overwhelming experience you will be disappointed. However, having appropriate expectations can lead to a nice experience that doesn't break the bank. As you are saying lex, to each his own.

Zen is the best AMP in the Charleston area. But that's not much of a claim. As I get along in age, I need less quantity but more quality. So although I do occasionally frequent local Asian massage emporia, when I am looking to really treat myself, I drive to Asiana or Osaka.

But that's just me. You lot can suit yourselves.
