Massage Parlor Reports

The way their mission keeps getting expanded we'll probably soon see TSA set up at the door confiscating all those things you mentioned while groping your gonads. Service with a smile!

[QUOTE=Ford1951; 1547319]Been looking for a provider on CL due to the current AMP situation. Found 2, but both were a bust. THE first goes by Angel, set up an appt, she operates out of a hair shop, got there on time, door locked, she didn't answer her phone, I left her a message, waited 15 mins and tried to call again. No answer, she returned my call an hour later and I told her to fuck off, I already made other arrangements.

The second girl actually returned my call while I was waiting for the first. She is in pawt named Hannah, decent apart, ent, she quoted 80 for an hour. She was cute 8/10, nice see-cups, the massage was on an air mattress, she uses way to much lotion, no skills, just rubs, no tease at all, and when all was said and done I asked for extras and she wantedn80 more for a HJ, I said no thanks. She also keep texting during the sesions, after the third time I asked her to shutnoff her phone. My search continues for that UTR provider that can actualy massage and do it sensually with a nice ending.[/QUOTE]You could give Jen in Riverside a shot. She generally advertises on CL under the "therapeutic services" section. She's on the BBW side, but she's got a reasonably attractive face, and gives a decent massage with a nice ending (didn't have to ask for the ending or anything the time that I saw her, it was just part of the package). The massage itself is totally legit, she has a professional style table in her house and everything. Let us know how it goes if you try her out, I've been thinking about going to see her again myself.

Also her place smelled like dog when I was there. A real turn off. So far the best I have found is Keri in EP, she is near the roller skating place, she is good but after several visits it gets kind of the same old, same old.

Maybe just a coincidence but I was going through some posts in the NY area to see if maybe some of our girls turned up there. I came across some reviews from an AMP in Sommerville, NJ and Ruby and Yumi were mentioned. Ruby's reviews were pretty spot on about her playfulness and flirting I don't think it was FS though because reviewer mentioned a $60 tip. Our loss their gain.

I've seen both Jen and Keri. I got just a massage from Keri, nothing else, not even a hint. I got a HE from Jen, although she got a little huffy when it took me too long to pop. She also seemed to have a cold demeanor, almost too business like.

Right about now I would let Mika stick her fishy fingers in my nose, some of that tender lovin care!

Are you kidding me? They have to do some CSI shit and spend that much money on a massage parlor? Wow! SMH.

W sex trafficking charges filed in Oxford massage parlor case

DUDLEY — As expected, the two women who managed an Oxford massage parlor that allegedly doubled as a prostitution house are facing new charges after a judge dismissed their original charges this week.

Warrants were issued out of Dudley District Court today for Lanyun Ma. 42, and Wei Ma. 22, both of Flushing, N. Y, on a count each of trafficking persons for sexual servitude.

Lt. Pi Heseltine of the state police's special service section issued a 10-page affidavit.

A judge on Tuesday dismissed the original charges against the Chinese-born women based on the defense lawyers' motions arguing that insufficient evidence had been presented at a probable cause hearing.

Lt. Heseltine's report said Oxford police in December asked Shawn Croke, an investigator from the Division of Professional Licensure, for help investigating a possible prostitution house 2 Fairlawn Ave, Oxford, purporting to be a therapeutic massage business. Mr. Croke contacted state police.

The parlor had no advertised name at the time. But it had two phone numbers, the report said. Police said they believed prostitutes were being brought in from New York.

In late December, police and investigators went to the parlor to check on employees' licenses.

Lanyun Ma said the business provided massages for $60 for an hour. Mr. Croke identified himself and asked for her license and the license of a second woman, Bi Zhen Zhang of Brooklyn, which he said could not be produced. The women were fined.

Ms. Zhang had been arrested and charged in Quincy in 2009 for selling sexual services, the report said.

Lt. Heseltine said he found two naked men in massage rooms. Both said they were there for a massage.

Lt. Heseltine said he did an online search for advertisements and found backpage. Com posts for 'sensual body rubs. ' The ads were linked to the Oxford site, state police said.

On Jan. 9, troopers installed a pole camera on Fairlawn Avenue facing the side of the building leading to Unit 2.

During the seven-month investigation, from eight to more than 20 men a day made 30- to 60-minute visits to the parlor, police said. Their cars had license plates from as far away as Maine and Vermont, state police said.

Investigators sent a subpoena to the records keeper at backpage. Com. It yielded many ads associated with the Fairlawn Avenue address. The invoices identified Wei Ma as the user. She was also the account holder of the debit card, email and phone number used to place the ads, investigators said.

On Feb. 1, investigators monitoring the parlor found a Toyota Camry out front registered to Wei Ma. The car was seen coming and going from the parlor.

Two Asian women were followed in the car to the Econo Lodge in Northboro on Feb. 9, state police said.

The next day, Northboro police did an independent prostitution investigation at the motel. Wei Meng was charged with offering sex for a fee, having posted an advertisement on backpage. Com under 'Worcester escorts. ' She allegedly used a phone number linked to the Oxford investigation.

On March 8, after surveillance footage showed an Asian woman taking trash from the Oxford business, a state trooper removed it and had it tested. A lab analysis found the contents included seminal fluid and paraphernalia 'consistent with a house of prostitution and sexual conduct for fee. '

On March 23, Lanyun Ma was seen on a bank video in New York depositing $6, 000 into a business account for 2 Fairlawn Ave.

On Aug. 9, police stopped customers leaving 2 Fairlawn Ave, and they allegedly admitted they had paid for sexual services there.

Police then searched the property and seized $3, 000 and ledgers indicating dates of services and money paid by customers. A chemist from the state police crime lab confirmed the presence of seminal fluid.

Lanyun Ma admitted she and Wei Ma managed the business, but denied engaging in sexual conduct. She said the employees were from New York and their length of stays varied.

Investigators said they believe 300 W. Main St, Northboro, was planned as the duo's second massage parlor.

Lawyer Michael Erlich, who represents Lanyun Ma, and lawyer Kenneth P. Canty, who represents Wei Ma, said earlier this week they were bracing for the new charges against their clients.

A court clerk said the women can either turn themselves in at the court or wait to be brought in by police.

I am not trying to stir up the pot, but if we can see a trace or maybe make a lead to the situation, we could take the appropriate detours to combat the losses.

Thanks Gogglz for the info[/QUOTE]

They they wonder why all the states are going broke. They spend tons of cash on stupid things instead of going after real crime.

[QUOTE=Optimus Prime;1549545]Are you kidding me? They have to do some CSI shit and spend that much money on a massage parlor? Wow! SMH.[/QUOTE]

Do they have a case?

"On Aug. 9, police stopped customers leaving 2 Fairlawn Ave, and they allegedly admitted they had paid for sexual services there."

"Allegedly" isn't going to get a conviction.

And the presence of seminal fluid. Maybe a couple guys had itchy triggers, and the girls from out of state. How do you prove they did anything.

They could have been there to cook and clean.

Good news[/QUOTE]Have also seen reports that the lights are back on at DT and they are answering their phones. If asked they'll tell you they aren't doing massages, just body rubs.

Good news[/QUOTE]Ok, I had to test the water again, I was looking for a good massage (a real one) and headed over to Westport, I went to the one nearest Kings Inn area. Away there was only two girls (women). I got Ginney, she's older probably in the 40's. Tells me to get ready and she'll be in a minute. So she gets in and ask how long, I say hour. I am unrobed all the way down to my draws, The only reason I wasn't fullly naked because there's only a curtain between me and the hall. She asked me if I was there before and told her yes and with whom.

Well Ginney does a great job of removing knots in my neck and back. I didn't indicate or motion any extra, I wanted to see if she would do the flip question. Nothing, I was covered with a towel all the time and she never made a notion to give extras. While she was doing her job she asked if it was ok to move down my draws, I told her it's ok to take them off and she did so. Well the hour was up and she asked if I wanted more time I said yes. 1/2 hr.

Well she continues with the massage, after a while I start to think maybe she's worried I'm a unfreindly. So this is were it gets wierd / questionable. I take a chance and start to rub the inner thigh acting like it was a possible mistake. Well I didn't get the no no touching explaination. So I decide to start rubbing higher and more naughty. I still get the no reaction I figure I would get it since I was doing the behind camel toe check. Nothing! She continued her usual rub and it seemed it didn't affect her. I even asked if it is ok to touch and she said it's ok. So I figure she got the hint and I would get a PR. She only made close but no go massges.

While I was getting my massage the phone rang 3 times, and I knew who it was. Well I get dressed and look at the phone and it's the SO. Well I braced for the worse, I had to explain that I had stopped to get a massage, (I know what your thinking) , I had to do this as she already has issues when I leave the house for long periods of time. (bad past). Anyway I was there and the two ladies where there and their looking at me like oh boy, I pay her 100. 85 for the massage 15 tip. I grap a business card to prove where I was. Ginney asked if I wanted it stamped, I was like what, she shows me that after 10 visits you get 15 minutes free.

I wonder if the card might be the clue I need? I got home and got the 3rd degree. I told her exactly where it was and what happen (sort).

You ask why would I do such a bone head move, it wasn't a bone head move, I often tell my wife I need a massage due to neck issues, Now I have a aliby to see other places. If I tell her I'm going to get a massage I grap the card and off I go to where I want. Since this place is legit I have a good exscape. I asked Ginney if they had women clients and she said yes.

interesting

Considering the current state of affairs, I figured I would post on what's still out there. I actually made this visit a couple months ago and meant to post a report, but just didn't for whatever reason. Anyway, I was at SP, since I'm more into non-AMPs, although Candy from 1021 had me re-thinking my preferences.

I saw Mercedes. She greeted me at the door, friendly and as soon as I saw her thought she was a sexy latin number with a nice body. Led me into the room. I got ready and she came back with the line-up. Nothing too impressive and she was easily the cream of that crop. Only one white chick that I can remember and she was nothing to write home about.

Mercedes takes me for the TS, pretty good TS and my first by a non-AMP, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Asked me if it was my first time there and I told her it was, but not my first time in RI for massage and that I had been to AMPs before.

Back to the room for massage and she continues to make small talk. Asked for a light massage, but she gave me a pretty good one and really concentrated on my legs, which was great and the teasing was decent. I had read before that some of the girls at TS were uptight or their asking price was just unrealistic, so I didn't know what to expect and kind of treaded lightly. On the flip, I asked her what was available and got the impression that everything was on the table, so I went step by step, but will say that there was some haggling on the donation. CBJ was okay, not as long as I would have liked. DATY was great and FS was okay. I had seen Candy a few weeks after this, which made this experience seem like the minor leagues compared to her. The house was. 6 and when I told her I only had 1. 4 for the house, she was not cool with it, but wasn't pissed, just disappointed, but still went through with it, but it kind of puts a damper on the experience when you know the chick isn't happy with the donation.

In summary:

Looks: 8 (Ds, maybe DDs) and pretty fit, but not model fit.

Service: Massage 7, extras 6.

Damage:.6 + 1. 4.

If you need any more info don't hesitate to contact me. Non seniors are welcome as well.

The report about a "For Rent" sign at 1021 would be sad news. Hopefully, some of the staffers read the Board and know that many patrons value their encounters beyond the mechanics and would truly miss the personalities and relationship.

A couple of Board posters suggest they are friendly with Sophia and I would guess Sophia has lots of feedback as to how special she is to some, myself included. Should they not return please pass along to Sophia, and any others, that they are missed in a real sense.

BTW, The for rent sign is not for the location 1021 was residing in, there is other open space that is available next to 1021's location.

Gents. I just wanted to make a comment regarding our beloved Spa's. I was dreaming today that most of our favorite Spa's were reopened or due to reopen very soon. It was a great dream which made me smile and feel all was back to normal, life was good again.

After some "ManTears" I thought what if my dream was reality, should I go running, screaming and yelling in public."They're open again, they're open again!". My first reaction would be just that, to scream to everyone that the Spa's were back, we could all go back and enjoy our little diversion, but once my heart rate got back to triple digits my brain took over and demanded that I not draw this type of unwanted attention, that I not raise my thumb to my nose and antagonize our valued friends (LE) into a quick and final move to close them for good. I decided that I for one would not contribute publicly with graphic stories of my dreams only to have the heavy hand of the law, the vote seeking politicians, the bible thumping do gooders and last but not least. The sexually assaulted poor men who were viscously raped by a 90 pound Asian girl. All of whom would try and close my beloved Spa's.

OK OK, I know I am being a bit dramatic here, but it sure would be nice if we could all keep our "dreams" in private chat (PM with trusted members) or at least very vague if we need to be public about it. When were given a second chance, lets all try and be proactive and not be one of the reasons they disappear for good!

[QUOTE=MuffyTheDiver; 1554433]Gents. I just wanted to make a comment regarding our beloved Spa's. I was dreaming today that most of our favorite Spa's were reopened or due to reopen very soon. It was a great dream which made me smile and feel all was back to normal, life was good again.
