Massage Parlor Reports

[QUOTE=JeezLizard; 1690191]Went by VIP the other day, rang doorbell and a friendly but very old lady pops up to the side window, asks me if I've been before (I said no) , and said pricing is. 8 for 40 mins but I have to come back in 30 or 40 mins because she has a customer.

I didn't return that day.

I hope this was the mamasan and not representative of the age range of ladies inside?

Anyway, did I do the wrong thing saying I had not been before or is it really typical for them to tell you to come back later? This was like midday on a weekday.[/QUOTE]Surely someone could answer these questions?

[QUOTE=JeezLizard;1692655]Surely someone could answer these questions?[/QUOTE]Reply yes that you've been there before. If they ask when say it's been a long time. Also, it's 45 minutes for $80.

[QUOTE=Ncchillen;1693057]Reply yes that you've been there before. If they ask when say it's been a long time. Also, it's 45 minutes for $80.[/QUOTE]Thanks for the response. Guess that's where I went wrong. So they don't even open the door if you say you've never been? Also is the old one typical of what I see inside or does it get better?

[QUOTE=JeezLizard;1692655]Surely someone could answer these questions?[/QUOTE]There is a seperate Thread for the VIP which will answer all your questions in detail.

[QUOTE=Jimjim77;1693257]There is a seperate Thread for the VIP which will answer all your questions in detail.[/QUOTE]Thanks for the info and sorry for overlooking that. My resolution is set at 1200 vertical, so with the browser maximized those bottom threads were not visible (and the blue border that coincidentally lined the bottom made it look like bottom of page.

[QUOTE=Dl6969; 1683862]FS at VIP, really? I've been 4-5 times over the last year and while I've always left happy I've never been given even a hint that FS was a possibility.

Any advise on what to say / ask or how best to approach the FS topic? Thanks in advance![/QUOTE]Thanks to the advise of a wise senior member I was able to order off the full menu during my visit today to VIP. Anna took incredible care of me and for sure I'll be smiling all weekend 8).

[QUOTE=Jamescl;1691119]I saw some mixed reviews, but most of the recent comments said happiness would be found at Sofia's place of business on Maynard in Cary. Having only one night in town and a few minutes for research (evening opened up unexpectedly) , I should've been more skeptical. Last guest of the night, opted for 4 hands, as I always wanted to try that. Really lousy rub, nothing to it at all. Not squeamish about half-hearted draping, though, or inner thighs and full glutes, but nothing more than a slight tease of a dream. Have to make your own dreams come true. Was I missing something from people's comments?[/QUOTE]Based on the same recent reviews I stopped by to see Sofia a couple day ago. I called ahead and asked for an appt w / Sofia. Upon arrival Sofia greeted me very sweetly and lead me to the room. I got comfortable and when she returned she informed me that she had somebody else to massage me and that she would take care of me next time. The gal I drew was not much to look at but gave an incredible massage. Lots of attention to my butt and inner thighs, w / many "incidental" brushes of my boys and even some nice contact w / the soldier. But in the end I didn't leave happy. Sofia said as I was leaving that she'd take good care of me next time and gave me a little kiss, but considering my experience it's unlikely that I'll return.

[QUOTE=Pmondore;1686671]I'll never understand the self-service massage coupled with the full service table shower format. Too bad as it is a good location.[/QUOTE]Same experience for me at Salon Studio in Cary. Jennifer who unfortunately is no longer there would always take very good care of me during the TS. My guess is places like this prefer to provide that service during the TS for easy cleanup. Plus the TS area tends to be a bit more private in my experiences.

[QUOTE=JoelB; 1670708]I've gotten a massage from Lucy at Yucca. Trying to figure out if I should see Sophie at Maynard or Genny.

How do Sophie and Genny compare to Lucy in the following areas:

1. Quality of massage. Looking for a good, deep massage.

2. Quality of sensual massage.

3. Attractiveness.

Thanks for any info you can share.[/QUOTE]I didn't end up having any luck w / Sofia when I stopped by earlier this week. And I haven't seen Genny yet (tho I do intend to soon) so can't comment there. However I'm very curious about your experiences w / Lucy as I've been considering giving that place a try. Specifically wrt her attractiveness and the likelihood of leaving happy?

Thanks

This made me laugh. Last Friday I just wanted a decent massage so I went to one of the Raleigh Chinese massage places where I had been before once upon a time seeking the elusive HE but never finding it. Skipped the TS because I was short on time and since I'd given up on anything beyond massage didn't see the point in paying .20 more for that since I was clean.

Randomly got a younger (probably late 20's early 30's) girl. When told to undress and get on the table I just left the drape towel on a nearby chair. She was nice and vaguely flirty which I more or less ignored. She complimented me a few times on my body ("nice body, you go to gym"- which I do but I'm not all that) and proceeded with a 7/10 massage. It was later in the day so I think she was using some different techniques than usual to save her strength for the day. More elbows and long rubs than the usual deep pressure. But it was pretty good. A lot of "close but not there" rubs on the inner thighs and plenty of glut work. She asked "is ok" many times and I complemented her on her work and made the perfunctory moans when appropriate.

The flip came with about 15 mins left in the session. She oiled me up pretty well and then jokingly engaged in a little nipple play- "ah nice" she says. She did drape me but I discarded it and showed her I was quite happy. She oiled around the target but not on it but was so flirty and smiley I figured "what the hell" and guided her hands to the right spot. She acted insincerely surprised and said "you been here before?" and I told her probably 5 times over the last two years. She has only been at this location for about 5 months. Then the "you tip good?" and asking me for my suggestion. .40 was not enough so we went to .70 after thumbs up suggestions. Very specific about cash tip.

The remaining 10 minutes were pleasant but nothing extraordinary. Just some good hand work with limited roaming available. Did manage to get to a nipple but only after insisting it might speed things along.

Also whispered "you keep between us, ok?" Um, ok. So I'm going to respect that agreement for the time being. Sorry guys.

So the lesson learned is when you least expect it, you might get it. I'm not certain the price justifies the service but that's your call. The one hour basic massage was .70 I also suspect this may be a "side matter" where the extras are not reported or know by the management.

This post has been on the BP board two times now. I am quite sure it is from one of the local Chinese MPs. I also think I may know which establishment posted it, not sure. I totally understand why they are posting this message. I have probably been to every establishment in the area multiple times. I choose not to post explicit details simply because the Chinese places are legit massage establishments. This does not mean you can not leave happy. I can say that 99% of the time I do leave happy and also get a great massage. Like I said I do not post much about what happens and with whom; however, I glady exhange tidbits with a few "trusted" members by PM.

I have previously posted that the management of these establishments monitor these sites. If they find out a gal is giving extras she has a "high probability of getting fired". If not getting fired she will certainly be told that "she better be very careful" AND if she's caught she will get terminated. They do not want to become like the Korean AMPs accross the USA."pay to play establishments". So they will not get themselves entrapped in a potential sting. In my visits to these establishments I also have never been quoted "a price" to get "special additional services". That seldom happens. You simply tip what you feel is appropriate like any other service. I can also tell you that a bunch of you guys are "really cheap". If you tip well the therapist will want to see you all the time. In many cases level of service will improve too.

If you come on 'strong" and start asking for extras you can expect a big NO or 'sorry I can not do that". On one of my most recent visits I was told by one of my therapists that a customer immediately (when she walked in the massage room) asked her for a happy ending and how much! She told him No. He walked out. She also told me a guy immediatley started grabbing her ass and legs. She told him to cool it. He did not stop. She told him to leave! Here's the funny part I have seen her 3 times and had completely different experiences.

As usual Asianflu is right on target. I have had very similar experiences and although I have not been to all the local AMPs, I have been to many of them. These girls have real massage skills, are usually good people, and are just trying to make a living and have a better life. Treat them nice and develop a relationship and you will do fine.

Not only that, as JimJim77 said there are really some nice gals trying just trying to better themselves. They are also willing to engage in conversation (and most really enjoy trying to improve their English skills). I know one gal I met after she'd been here only 5 months. She knew minimal English. She's now here nearly one year and there's a significant improvement in both comprehension and communication. BTW I probably should have said I have visited nearly all MPs rather than all of them-I exaggerated just a bit! I think I may have missed two of them.
