Alex - "Aphrodite" - bodywork by us
Had my 3rd visit with Alex.
I'd rather call her Aphrodite because she is a goddess of lust of sensuality.
My visits keep getting better with her and they vary from session to session.
Highly recommend, near ATF level with a few select others, and will definitely repeat.
Pros:
Super smooth skin.
Next door girl quality hot.
Amazing experience on your stomach, on your back, and anywhere in between.
Cons:
An hour flies by way to fast LOL. Seriously I kept checking the time regretting to see how much had gone.
If you haven't seen her, you should. Rates are same with all the Bodywork ladies - 110 hhr 180 hr and some do 150 for 45.

Sweet Cheeks, Ashley Winters and the power of Benefit of the Doubt
So had a couple of sessions over the last couple weeks. Starting with the most recent from earlier today;.
Julia aka Sweet Cheeks. What else needs to be said? It's Sweet Cheeks. The Latina MILF with a body that only makes you want to cry that you'll never get more than a topless HE. $. 2 for a professional grade massage and flip that makes you wonder if you're on the set of something softcore. And yes, her chest is exactly how everyone describes it. She knows these reviews are her only source of advertisement and has encouraged both this review and the sharing of the screenshot where I got her number from. The only downside is that, during the week, her family life doesn't allow her to accommodate playdates later in the day without advance warning (I set this session up last Tuesday) and her weekend slots also require advance notice. But she's proven that she will take a professional level of care in getting you in and is absolutely going to be my go to between treating myself with trips to Serenity.
Now, on to my session with Ashley Winters;.
After finding out it would take a week to see Julia, I decided to try and find something to tide me over till then. Her ads are a dime a dozen on STG and her reviews are even less rare, so it's not hard to find her. Seeing as she was back at Royal (the place that started this hobby for me and geographical convenience only second to Julia) and after some internal back and forth, I decided to just rip the band-aid and try, unfortunately, she didn't answer my text for an hour session that night, probably for the best, and I'll get into the reason on that later. She did text me the next day and I set up a hhr session just to be on the safe side.
First thing first: Pictures are 100% her. It's almost shocking. Don't expect her to be as 'dolled up' as she is in many of those photos (add her snapchat if you want to see some of her more 'natural' look), but if you like what you see, you're going to be happy with what you get. If she did recently have a baby, you wouldn't know it (RIP whatever titty gains she may have made) and her ass is rather amazing for such a small frame. She is absolutely the spinner you see.
I arrived, spoke to Joy, paid the door fee (a little expensive admittedly considering I was standing in RT. Ashley charges Serenity prices), went into the room and away we went. And I got to say.
Had an absolutely fine time. She came in and we bantered a bit. Exchanged pleasantries, talked about the ABBA she was playing on her phone, and the massage was mostly us just chatting about the going-ons at Royal Touch since I had stopped going (My fave girl stopped showing up). On the flip, there was a little talk about my generosity that night (got her to laugh with my come back), agreed on a standard HE, and she got comfortable. Allowed mutual touch, though not too much exploring, and was kinda restrictive when it came to how she could be touched, but for understandable reasons (FIV is a general no go with most first encounters, and she recently had nipple piercings) and she knows how to shake what her momma gave her. All in all, not the most amazing time I've ever had, and price point was a little high, . 5 hhr door fee plus tip, but a good enough time that I plan on returning for a longer session to see what more she offers before I make a final verdict.
And I know what some may be thinking: "Well you must've name dropped Benz, or shit talked the negative reviews to make her feel better". Nope. Didn't mention a single thing about this side of mongering until after we were finished and cleaning up. No mention of USG, no mention of her reviews, no mention of Benz or his circle of Frenz (which I told her straight up, I'm not apart of, cause I don't think I've even been at this long enough to begin to know how to get in). As far as she knew going in, I was just some random dude that had been to Royal before and happened to find her ad by googling. For my part, I went in with the full knowledge that I had never met this woman a day in my life, and while I will keep every review I read in mind, good and bad, since I chose to still go, I was going to go in giving her the benefit of the doubt and keeping a hopeful outlook. I do that with every new girl / place I go to. I believe that's just the basic courtesy we should extend to any provider. Afterwards, I chose to bring up her reviews and we talked about it.
Let me be clear: I don't think anyone has lied about their experiences with Ms. Winters. I can't say one way or the other what happened with any of those encounters. Nor am I saying that we should try every girl, regardless of others' posted experiences. What I am saying, however, is that if a provider has less than stellar reviews and you still choose to go see her, the least you can do as the person that chose to go, is make sure you're not bringing a hostile energy to the table with you. Yes, pun intended. And after the post session chats I've had with many of the girls I see, not just Ashley, and my time in customer service, I can absolutely believe that people can tend to act out of line and feel justified just because they're the one spending money.
But at the end of the day, we're all going to proceed however we choose. All I can say is that from my own experiences, I've had success where others report disasters and even my worst visits were chalked up as just not worth going again, nothing even close to the nightmares I've read about on here. And I'm no hunk, nor do I have money to flaunt. So I can only guess what's working out well for me is my general demeanor when meeting a provider.
So to wrap up; in one week, two fine visits with two fine providers.
Take everything into consideration, but don't forget the grain of salt.

Update for Panacea, Lexi report.
In a previous report, I stated some issues that I had with the atmosphere at Panacea. Since then, I have had 2 other appointments and it appears, so far, that they have resolved them both. I hope this continues, because I happen to like a couple of the providers and their location is very convenient for me, who lives to the north. Both the noise level from the breakroom and the loitering have improved.
My last appointment with Lexi, was great. She is a sweet and down to earth provider. The conversation is easy and the service from her will relieve your stress. She keeps getting better and better.
Need help locating this parlor
I see lots of ads talking about Byron /76th st. Can anyone tell me the name of this parlor? Pm me if needed. Thanks.
It's fun to stay at the why. M. M. V.
[QUOTE=Mongerlian;5345575]Not to cause contention, and I'm glad you enjoyed your time, but Ashley has had her nipples pierced for years. I had the misfortune of getting her a long time ago, and she insisted on no touching her nipples then too. She usually has various reasons from what I've read. Now, by all means, visit who you will and I wish you the best of luck. I'm just saying the coin she demands, you can find much better service and roaming out there.[/QUOTE]No worries dude, not contentious at all.
To me, the nipple thing isn't all that egregious. At the end of the day, if she doesn't like it, she doesn't like it. Maybe its an excuse she had to develop to keep persistent hands away, or maybe she just thinks it sounds better than a hard no. Either way, whatevs, her ass is the main attraction of that circus anyway, imo.
I want to make it clear that the main gist of my post was directed towards the hobby of mongering as a whole and, what I feel should be, a general etiquette to approaching a session with any new (to you) provider. By no means am I trying to sing the praises of Ashley Winters and sway past mongers back to her clientele base. It wasn't an experience like with Honda or my ATF in Atlanta, but I personally had a good enough sampling that I'm willing to have another taste of her. Ashley happened to be a good case study in YMMV vs. Self fulfilling prophecy.
To your last point, absolutely agree. She is pricy given the circumstances. I'm willing to pay it for the sheer convenience of location. Without that, I would find it very hard to recommend her over any girl you already see just based on my first visit. My opinion on that may change with my next couple sessions. My final verdict is going to dependent on the extents I can reach of her 'not-a-menu' ("because having a menu is illegal" she said while firmly grasping it). She may become a part of my regular rotation, I may just stick with Sweet Cheeks and Serenity. Time will tell.
Gene2,
Absolutely! Mileage can't vary if we go off someone else's experience.
To add a little more to the nipple thing (cause just I really like nipples);.
While "because I don't like it / want you to" is a good enough answer for me, I've been given the low-down about those kind of knee-jerk responses from my personal female friends. Enough that I'm inclined to believe she has her reasons. (I. E. "I have a boyfriend" vs "Sorry I'm not interested".
BoatGuy1,
I think the biggest thing for me, is that, as someone who knows the horrors of the "Customer is always Right" mentality (that is finally starting to get killed off), I've developed a rather skeptical eye for reports that seem to center around a workers personality rather than performance. It may not be every time, but 8 times out of 10, that workers "Bad Attitude" didn't start with the worker. So that's ultimately shaped how I treat every service provider, regardless of industry, but especially this one.
While we all take some level of risk with this hobby, I don't think it takes a hardcore feminist mindset to recognize that the little woman, barely a third my size, staring down a freshly awakened beast that's pointed directly at her, is probably taking a much bigger risk in that moment (and the few that follow) than I am. The least I can do is try and make it a comfortable time for her. But maybe that's just me.
Not sure whether to be offended or laugh
[QUOTE=TigerEye2525;5345230]Okay I will try to keep this short and to the point as possible. We all know this forum is a great tool to help us all experience safe and enjoyable experiences. I believe it has done just that. We all know how amazing the ladies at Bodyworks are. Let's not jeopardize loosing that okay?
I have gotten several messages asking me things like, "how far do you think they will go?" Not to mention the term YMMV. I was talking to one of the ladies about that term and they had no clue what that meant. Guys. Please don't push it! I was told by one of the ladies that the guy was begging for sex from the start of the appointment. Seriously? How immature and childish. Try to have some class and actually carry on a stimulating conversation. That seems to be a lost art these days. Money can't buy you anything all the time. That's reality. Please don't be that guy and be the one to cause these ladies to be uncomfortable and take advantage of their over extensions of sweetness. I've had HJ's from different parlors that I myself was surprised I could finish due to the lack of complete enthusiasm. Probably related to them being on their guard for requests of sex. Sorry to be so blunt and I don't mean to be harsh but I would hate to see this all go away just because some guys can't appreciate girls like Berlin and Kacey for what they already do so well. Sorry it's in my protective nature to be like this when I hear these girls stories of being uncomfortable and then days later get messages asking how open their "menu" is. FFS guys. Okay I'm done. Peace.[/QUOTE]You seemed to have lost sight of two very important points: 1. The purpose of this site is to exchange information. If there is someone I want to see who you have, it is only natural for me to ask what her menu is and how much. It doesn't get any more basic than that. 2. We're not talking about your sister. These are sexy workers and I assure you they have heard it all. There is nothing wrong with guys exploring options. Don't be so naive to think anyone of these ladies (including Britt) haven't opened their menu under the right circumstances (read money and guy).
