Massage Parlor Reports

[QUOTE=Jersjay;3581498]Now it all makes sense. Thanks for the explanation.[/QUOTE]I understand and thank you. Be well.

I frequently work hours helping at a couple of local spas and hope I am not being taken advantage of as what I've heard a few proprietors refer to as a "big brother. " I am usually paid with 2 and sometimes only 1 massage a month.

I saw a tab for sexual addiction here but I look for it now. I am going to counselling for this and I was told I would benefit from attending a 12 step program to clean up my act. I do not look for pros out there and only pay for massages when I can; so very little action. The addiction is the inordinate amount of time thinking about what to do. Too much porn now; or even spending maybe too much time here and receiving little if any feedback.

I was married for decades to a cheating wife I forgave and am overly frustrated by encountering possible partners who have no interest in considering a long term relationship at our age (60-68). Been there done that is the usual reply. Never mind the fact the others don't want to even, "fool around" just a little. An average dude here with multiple problems in this area who recently picked up a new med, which may or may not be helping, to ease the consternation. Would like to hear from anyone else in this situation. Thanks and be well.

[QUOTE=Pzenm50;3577450]I do get around to Spas in area including Hand and Stone and Echo. I have arthritis and occasionally do light refurbishing work which leaves me in some discomfort. Stopped in the little cabin in the woods on the corner there near the pond on Rt. 73.

The greeting included the current fee info which the lady said was $70. Being a bit higher than average I asked why and was politely told there was no further information. The therapist closed the door on me. Would it be worth a trip back to see if the therapy here is any better and worth the extra $?

Thanks for whatever you can share and take it easy.[/QUOTE]This is my go-to place when I have the money to spend. I remember they raised the rate from $60 to $70 probably a year ago or maybe a little longer. What can you do. I like the place, it's clean and I feel comfortable there. The girls are usually very pleasant and attentive. Rarely had a bad experience there.

When I need something on the cheaper side I go to Tai Chi in Pine Hill.

After a bit of disappointment at Tai Chi when my usual therapist was busy and I did not go with her partner, I left and thought of another place to visit. The cabin on the lake at Rt. 73 came to mind but I got a call from a friend and helped him with some errands as he depends on me in various ways, After a positive report on the 73 Spa here I could take a quick ride there tomorrow and meet the new workers. Perhaps the extra $10 dollars house fee is worth it; as we say, you get what you pay for. I will relate my experience here if I do go but have been resisting becoming addicted to these places as it gets rather costly to say the least and after a day or so that empty feeling comes on pretty strong again. Be well.

Hi folks,

I enjoyed a fine experience with Judy at Tai Chi in Clementon today. She is one of the most joyful and cheerful therapists I know. The showers are marvelous, the massage is about as thorough as could be. I was so sore from yard work and other activities; Judy relieved all my pain and I left feeling like a king. I highly recommend this establishment; you will not be disappointed. Enjoy and be well.

Hey guys,

One of the therapists I have done a lot of work for is waiting to open her store (as she refers to spa.) She is having significant difficulties with the township and therefore is traveling what I refer to as the circuit of locations plying her services. This ranges from and. Why. To Delaware and points between so far. I wonder when she will finally settle down and open her business.

It would be disappointing if she is not able to comply with county regs. There are other places nearby but maybe opening a new spa is getting more difficult. All this after paying a significant township fee for the brief 2 page application process and approval!

In the meantime we wait to see and I stay frustrated not only because she is not nearby but I have strong feelings for her and she is too young for me in the first place. What to do? A few more posts from others would make for a more interesting experience; so come on folks what do you have to say. ?

Saw a young dude exiting a Hand and Stone with a very pleased look about him. I wondered if any of these "Legit places" ever offer any extras at all. ?

I recently learned of a new business that handles approximately 20+ customers a day. At the average $65 per customer this comes out to $390 K for just 300 days! No wonder there are so many of these operations opening; they are cash cows! Some owners I have spoken with, own or partner with 3 or more outlets.

If 3 therapist handled 7 jobs a day they would gross $84 K in 300 days, based on $40 per individual tip. I do not know if these workers receive any salary or only tips. Of course unless they have set up IRAs of some sort they would have to save much to really last into the future. If our dollars have the purchasing power I hear they do in some of the homelands of these therapists, they perhaps they are significantly better off for having worked here for what ever amount of time.

Well folks, just some fodder for thought. Seems contributions to this site for this area are slowing down from a few a month to less. I am considering dropping out for varied reasons and regret so few utilize this forum more regularly. What do you think?

Is very difficult any more in NJ, specifically an AMP. County and township reg have gone over the edge. I know this because I used to own one.

The town required state license and town business license. Inspected almost every month. Required fingerprinting of owner and workers every year.

Most often the women would sleep at spa. Town during inspections would look for sleep wear, blankets, pillows etc. Often gave out $250 tickets.

For illegal zoning infractions. Town required state I'd's or green cards and passports if not US citizens.

I sold the spa after 2 years of hassles.

I think it is a conspiracy and I might not be joking, by the commercial Hand and Stone type businesses, to run private entrepreneurs out! Regret you had so much difficulty and hope you did not lose too much $$. Thanks for response; be well and enjoy.

[QUOTE=Pzenm50;3597357]Saw a young dude exiting a Hand and Stone with a very pleased look about him. I wondered if any of these "Legit places" ever offer any extras at all. ?[/QUOTE]Yes I was wondering the same. I've had girls come really close to the sensitive areas but nothing more.

[QUOTE=Msaunders6969;3606881]Yes I was wondering the same. I've had girls come really close to the sensitive areas but nothing more.[/QUOTE]Thanks for your response. Well that is about it for Hand and Stone I figure.

I stopped in at Rt. 38 Accu last month and was greeted by a very nice therapist who showed me around this interesting place with the décor of an 1800 style old west saloon. Brought a friend there recently and the woman who greeted us at back door might as well have been breathing fire. I mean if looks could kill with daggers from her eyes we would have bled out then and there. She had hair colored a odd blond and a pile of make-up. Maybe it was not a good day for her.

I mentioned this was not the best way to greet potential customers and she simply moaned Ga Buy Ga Buy Ga Buy. !

What the hey. ?

My friend purchased this spa months ago and is looking forward to opening soon. She is currently in Columbus making the circuit as I say trying to earn enough $$$ to make rent on her place. Lumberton is making it nearly impossible for her to work there. I am hoping the situation will improve for her and all who are in this trade. Some legalization issues must be addressed and solved so honest people can do what most of them want to do without harassment from varied sectors of the community which is often so hypocritical it is ridiculous. What do you think. ?
