Massage Parlor Reports

[QUOTE=Spaz2580]I went, but will not return. not even just for massage if tha'ts all I wanted. I've had a lot better at other HE places. no tease, no accidental brushing, not even DIY.

I took the bait w/ the suggestive wording in their ads "pretty young therapist"

"table shower". bait n switch. If they want to be legit - fine, no problem. just don't try to fool us horny mongers because we won't return.[/QUOTE]


Heartily agreed! One of the most important rules of business is to get recurring revenue. Doing a bait and switch is just simply bad business. They might get the occasional monger being fooled and stopping in, but that will disappear very, very quickly. In the meantime, legit people (their actual audience) probably won't go there because they'll assume it's not a legit place. If you want to be a legit spa, advertise as such!

I happened to visit one of the places a couple of times. It's pretty clean. The state licenses are posted on the wall with the girls names on it. The door is not allowed to be locked during massage. In the process, I did ask for "extra" and was told "if I did it, I would be let go." I tipped them simply because of their friendly attitude and better than average massage. I tell you: if that place is closed for prostitution charge, all Boston MPs should be closed. Belive my twenty years of experience, if I say that is a legit place, 95% of the chance it is. You can see that from the girls attitude, right?

Unlike most of you mongerers, I prefer the quick in and out. Lie down. Give it some tease. And get the HE done with, at a reasonable donation. Actually, she doesn't rush you at all.

Ling advertises in the Phoenix. She used to work out of Brighton but she is in Chinatown now. According to her, there is less LE hassles. (She is sporting a government issued ankle bracelet. LOL ) If I had to guess, I would say she is 35-40yo. She works out of a tiny apartment in CT. It's off an alley in the back of a building. I've been there numerous times. Never had a problem.

If you're into a great prostate massage. You have to go see her.

She'll even let you roam and probe her too.

For a 30 minute massage, with the prostate action, and a HE, the total dames was .60

Digits available for senior members.

I saw this in the rant & rave section on Cl. Tell me it's not true. If it is so I will cross them off my to do list.

Went to the Tremont St place above the pizza store and met Siu who is a middle aged chinese woman. For .7 all I got was the massage and she wanted way to more than I had for a HE. Decent massage but the room sucked.

I think this is untrue, I have not been there, but Alice formerly of Knapp St. is supposed to work there and she is a very nice she. I suspect this is a competitor writing to scare customers away. I am fairly sure the there are post-ops at a number of Jolin's places.

After a lot of yard work on Saturday, I decided to go for a massage. I had a good time at [post=870009]Knapp St, last time[/post]. I brought the number from my notes with me, and called when I got to CT.

I was surprised that the lady who answered told me the address was on Harrison St, second floor, but I went there. It is NOT the place at the barber pole from some time back. It's a nice place, newly refurbished and clean. May (English name) was a strong-looking and pleasant Chinese lady, perhaps in her 40s. I was quoted 1 hour massage for $70.

Now some of you are more interested in having a young and attractive lady for your massage, and I can understand that. But for those of you looking for a good therapeutic massage, let me tell you a little secret: you'll get a much better therapeutic massage from someone who is a little older, like May (or Aiko). They have survived in the business because of their skills.

I started with a bathroom break. There's a shower, apparently available for customer use. The small room had a good, new massage table. May chatted with me as I started to undress, then discreetly left as I got to the last bits.

I asked for a strong massage, and I got it. She used oil, sparingly, enough. Spent a lot of time on neck, shoulders, back, perhaps sensing that I needed a lot of attention there. Less on arms and hands, then hips and legs.

I never like it when monitoring the phone is part of the deal, but the calls were short, and most of the time she kept at the massage with one hand. But the bell rang - a new customer, so she made a couple of calls to get her partner to come in. So a few interruptions - but judging by the clock, I think she made up for them with a little extra time, so no complaints.

What some guys call "teasing" may just be part of the Chinese massage, because in my experience Chinese masseuses are not shy. Fingers go where they go. Of course, sometimes there really is teasing, but (at least on this first visit) I did not get what I would call real teasing... except that when she finished working on my back, before the flip, she did thes wonderful gentle strokes with her fingertips all over, ending in a way that suggested that I might be happy at the end.

Before the flip, a hot wet towel to clean up the excess oil, and then a dry one. I have come to expect such services from a quality MP.

On the flip, she did even more work on my sore shoulders. My face and head. Chest and stomach. Legs. I had the sense that a good amount of time had passed, and she announced that the hour was up. I mentioned an area she had missed, and with a little reassurance, she took care of that... very nicely indeed.

I wondered why the number I had was not for Knapp St as I expected. Perhaps these numbers travel as their owners go to a new shop. The number (which ends with 7082) may have belonged to her partner, who she recommended for my next visit... Alice, perhaps the same one that has been discussed here before.

I thought I tipped her according to [post=766822]Big Bobby35's guide[/post], but realize now that I was a bit light on the tip. She seemed satisfied but not overjoyed, but encouraged me to return. I headed to a nearby restaurant where they have a special on lobsters for $8.95 for one or $14.95 for two. Talk about a happy ending! For me, I mean, not the poor lobster.

Overall I give 8 for massage quality (10 is reserved for my local therapeutic-only masseuse, who also costs a bit more, and who requires booking two weeks in advance). Finish was a 9. She was decent looking for a woman her age, but I wasn't there for looks. Yes, I would definitely go back. I might try Alice next time for variety, but would be happy to repeat with May too.

Back at home, I googled the full number and found a "Grand Opening" ad for this place on CL, with all the details you'll need. You'll also see that there are rates for 30, 60, and 90 minutes.

Maybe one of you can fill in the details about how 7082 moved from Knapp to Harrison?

Don't believe everything you read on cl. I know Lilly and Alice are there working at Divas. It must be a jerk or idiot who is saying this stuff. Both worked on Knapp before opening their own place. Alice is the one to see not that Lilly is bad, just that Alice is better looking and has a better personality. Just my .02

The phone number ending in 7082 belongs to Alice. 4-5 months ago, Alice left the well-reviewed MP on Knapp Street for Diva on Harrison. Oldmonger certifies that Alice has always been woman.

See my recent report. Although I did not do a physical exam, I am reasonably certain that May/Mei was born female and has remained that way. I agree with Kenn Jack's theory that this may have been posted by the competition (or more likely, a non-Asian male friend of theirs).

It was clear to me that May was familiar with the Knapp St location, as she asked me about my last visit there. I can imagine scenarios where a telephone number moved to a new location and there were bad feelings involved. After all, I thought I was heading to Knapp when I called 7082, so they lost business.

One of these ladies may be your Ling. As good as the service may be, I would stay away from this provider and any apartment she uses as a workplace. If you cannot resist seeing her, at least wait until she sheds her bracelet.

When i saw her I was considering calling up the TV show called "Monster Quest" to have a investigative team deployed to see if she is the "Yetti" or "bigfoot" that has been seen roaming the Boston South Shore.

QUOTE=Hand Deliver]OK, S.O. is on the mark, so let the posts resume vs. having the disagreements consume! Haven't seen very many massage reviews in the past many posts, so, figured I would offer one up from yesterday to get things going.

Went to FL in Brockton in the afternoon, and my favorite masseuse was working (great looks, long jet black hair, personable, will spare throwing out her name). They have the best .1 massage around, much better with longer songs than Alex's massage girls these days. But I get tired of signing Mickey Mouse on the little liability form for every massage. She is awesome, 20's, but has a lot of baggage and issues about working in a strip club and living with an older separated married dude she says she loves with 4 little kids. BTW, I saw the old Mercedes from Alex's was now back working and moved over to FL (almost 30, tall thin, with brownish rotted and missing back teeth like what happens when people have been down and cracked-out for a long period of time).

So, to flee the drama, I headed to Alex's. I go there seldom now that they have a goofy setup due to the King Arthur's suing issue about the girls being indies. Spent a couple hours there, met some buddies there, didn't care for their massage girls on duty, and then got locked out of my car due to a dead remote clicker battery.

OK, now, back to the point. After Triple A came, I pulled out my list and eyed this one number I have had on it since Sept. Area code is 540 and always advertises a heated bed, near Rt 24, come relax, never a pic. I decided to go out of my comfort zone, call up, she answers about 9pm, I decided to just go for it and not ask the obligatory size-up questions.

She's available, gives me directions, and I find out she is within viewing distance of FL's parking lot. So, I do a deja vous and head back to the Avon/Brockton line, pull up to the "condex" (as she later described it, "it's not a condo"). She tells me to pull in, her light is on on her unit's front door, and gives me very specific parking direction to "pull in, park on the passenger side of the grey car". I obey, and my phone rings, she tells me I parked on the wrong side, then, she repeats to park on the passenger side. Finally, she figured it out and realizes she means the other side.

Then, OMG, I look in my rearview mirror to backup and I can see this very large black lady in this big pink outfit on the phone standing in the front door of the "condex" with the light on. OK, I'm already here I figure, so, instead of driving away, I pull around to the other side of the gray car and go in.

I walk in, and the 2nd interior entry door has a big hole where the bottom left panel of the 6 panel door was kicked out. I venture in further, and there is a living room with a massage table in the middle. I looked around, and the place was fairly clean, much cleaner than the bathroom's I had been in at FL and Alex's. She apologizes that the table is in the middle of her living room, but she had a problem in the basement and had to move it up there......then she adds, that was a year ago.

We chat, and she is pleasant enough, and has done well with her makeup. She tells me that basically out of 40 calls, about 5 come to see her. Seems almost everyone correctly asks the obligatory questions I opted to waive tonight, which she says she answers honestly, and they decide she is not for them. I figure what the heck, lay down, and, hey, it really is a heated table. She turns the tv from tv to music and away we go. As asked, she gave over an hour of firm massage, getting every finger and toe. Flipped and relaxing head massage. She doesn't think many providers do the hands and feet. On the flip, started head down. She did a lot of staring at the wall while massaging. We pleasantly chatted more, about a lot of things (no kids, single, 10 year breakoff, family matters, religion) during the session. Never once was there a tease. Eventually she asked and I went for the HE, and was glad that I did, very nice 2 handed technique. Finished with a full body, both sided, hot towel washdown.

Overall, felt like a kid on an adventure. OK that I went because she seems like a nice person. But, a picture is worth a thousand words.....so I am going to lean towards the providers with pics and/or make sure I always ask the obligatory questions.

So, had to go full circle back to [basically right next door] FL for more of their massages.

Looks - n/a, a 3 to me might be a 9 to someone who likes her looks
Cleanliness - 6
Front door with hole welcome rating - 1
massage - 6/7
HE - 7
Damage (to her) .7 + .5 (only because I did not want to ask for my .1 in change, her rate is $.1 with HE)
Damage (multiple masseuses within hours) - much more
Repeat - likely not, just not my type

Respectfully submitted,
HD[/QUOTE]

So let's see...5 months of investigation from multiple local,state and federal agencies...many hours of 'undercover' work, 30 cops in on the day of the bust plus all of those court costs and fees. I would guess at least half a mil of taxpayers dollars spent on this.
And for all that money they arrested 5 or 6 illegals (hell I could arrest 10 times that many by just raiding the local landscape business or local donut shops..but I digress...) and 2 or 3 owners. Definitely seems like a good use of $$ to me.
And if I remember correctly there was such a hue and cry from all the do-gooders across the country when a meat packing place was raided for illegals a year or so back. And I believe most if not all the arrests were negated because of the plight of the illegals and their kids and families and NONE have been deported and are back home receiving cash and other assistance. (in the US of course).
So for that money they spent we all could have sex for life from our favorite providers. Oh and BTW - I guess we all learned something form the 'expert' Agawam LE cop that was used. According to him a 'happy ending' equals oral sex. Guess we've all been screwed lately just getting a hand release.

Your right it was Ling that was arrested in that bust. She had moved around several times in Allston but Allston hasn't been safe since that asian asshole cop started his personal crusade a few years ago. I remember several times I went to see her she would show up at the outer door in her neglige so anyone who walked by could see her and knew what you were getting. As the review said she is an older provider that will give you more than you want for your donation.
While I might not visit right away I'm sure she is safe in CT. Even though she is on a bracelet they VERY rarely go after anyone in CT. They seem to be protected there. Not to mention they are away from the LE asshole in Allston who would arrest his mother.

Thanks for TOFTT. Waltham is incredibly convenient for me and had been tempted to check this place out. Too bad it does not seem like a good option. Especially if it is not clean. I'm also not a fan of that location.

I've read the forum a lot but not participated much, so I figured it would be appropriate to share some insights:

Only place I regularly head back to (in Waltham) is WW. Have had a couple great experiences with the "other girl" (not Jessica, in fact, I haven't seen Jessica in several months; she must be in high demand). Looks are "okay" but the message and HE were well above average. I don't remember her name but don't believe there are more than 1 or 2 others besides Jessica. Note that the first time she saw me she was much more tentative than repeat visits.

I was over at Jasmine a few months ago and had a very weird experience. PM me if you need details but left completely unsatisfied from the massage perspective. I would be curious if anyone new is there that is worth checking out.

In the past, if I wanted a real massage I have ventured over to Lee's. Last time I was there the woman knew I wanted a HE in the worst way but would not oblige. I did not go the DIY route but she did kiss my chest quite a bit and was flirting tremendously. That said, I ended up leaving frustrated and have not been back since.

That's it for now, thanks for sharing so much information.

[QUOTE=Masmanb]Haven't been on the board for a while, hence, did not see the Oasis review and made the mistake of a recent visit. I've had some pretty bad experiences in all my years in the hobby, but this 'almost' trumped the few that I actually walked out on in the middle of the session for one reason or another.

First off, this place is an old 80's style office type. You know, the old-time booker keeper's office, a place a social worker my have a mailbox at, physicians office, etc. To say the least, the place boarders dumpy, no doors for the rooms, old carpets, who knows how many coats of paint on the wall and so on.

Made an appointment with Stephanie, actually ended up getting the so-called massage with her too. Room was dark and hot, not comfortable, but hot. Uncomfortable table, the type you may come across at a yard-sale. The two ladies running the place are young and in my opinion are trying to make a buck. Extremely unprofessional, most likely due to their age and lack of experience.

Laid on the table and she wanted to drape me with some blanket that was filthy, told her no and she brought in some towels to cover me with. Can't say it was much of a massage even from the beginning, more like a rub and pinch motion (awful). About twenty minutes in I very politely told her to stop and suggested we move over to the foot massage she has setup in the waiting area. I could tell she was a little disappointment. I calmed her down with a little white lie about my bad back and we moved forward.

The foot massage was decent. She did put a little more effort in. Told her to keep the house fee and left with a smile.

I do hate writing bad reviews, however, this place really gets negatives from appearances thru service.

We all know, it all evens out at the end of the day. Yes, the sure things are nice and we all have our secret providers we don't share, but we can't help but crave variety. Of course we all think our experience will be different and so on, but in this case I felt I just threw money out the door period. I can always make light of it, even if it didn't go as expected, but sometimes, even the old-timers have to vent.

Thanks for listening![/QUOTE]
