Something old, something new, something borrowed, something Blue
Found myself in the Tysons Corner area late last week and decided to drive up to the old Tyco Road industrial complex, where once was located the legendary Young's Therapy in the free-wheeling '90's. My first choice was G&G Wellness, in the very back. I hadn't called ahead to book an appointment, so when I got there I was told "[I]Everyone busy. Maybe you come back one hour[/I]. " Since I didn't have the time to wait that long, I opted to check out [RED][b]Enliven Therapy[/b][/RED], which is nearby in the same complex. Guess who answered the door? [B]Blue[/B], who now goes by Lily at this place. For those who remember her, she normally works at Swan on Leesburg Pike near Columbia Pike. At any rate, she was helping out at Enliven this day.
Door fee was. 8 for the hour, and she took me to a room further back. It's been a while since I've visited this AMP but, based on recollections from previous visits (over 5 years ago! I noticed that they've done some interior work which makes the place a bit brighter on the inside and also gives it a more modern appearance as opposed to the "standard AMP" look of hastily assembled walls, doors, etc.
The TS was a good soapy affair but, unfortunately, not like the Soapland affairs of SE Asia.
Afterwards, Blue / Lily takes me back to the room and proceeds to administer a very good massage, which included some nice back-walking. Anyone who knows Blue knows that most of her approximately 105 pounds resides at the top of her torso. She's still as trim and fit as she ever was, although she's now sporting a second tattoo (below a pierced navel) to compliment the small tramp stamp on her lower back. She's also able to carry on a good conversation, if that appeals to you, but she's not an excessive talker. On the flip, she administered a decent HJ. All in all, a satisfying visit but not overly so. She says that her nipples are "[I]too sensitive[/I], " but the visual aspect of a trim 50-something gal with a generous, natural rack is still a sight to behold.
Will I return for another visit? Probably not. There are just better options available, but Enliven (with Blue) can do in a pinch. However, YMMV.
[B][u]EXTERIOR[/u][/B]
- [B]Accessibility:[/B] Enliven is located on the first floor of the front side of the last row of buildings at the back of the Tyco Road industrial complex. From Leesburg Pike, heading away from Rote 123, it is an easy right-hand turn (before the Dulles Access Road turnoff) onto Tyco Road and then a left-hand turn into the complex about a quarter-mile later.
- [B]Parking:[/B] Parking is plentiful, even during the daytime. At best, you might have to walk about 50 paces. At nighttime, the area will be sufficiently well-lit, and there's not likely to be any unsavory characters hanging about to cause trouble. If anything, it'll more likely be akin to a ghost town.
- [B]Entrance:[/B] The exterior door (full-length smoked glass and similar windows) leads into a very small foyer with a reception window. In the foyer, there is another door with a doorbell button. One isn't entirely hidden from the outside, but one also doesn't immediately stand out once in the foyer.
[B][u]INTERIOR[/u][/B]
- [B]Cleanliness:[/B] The inside has a more modern appearance, but still shows a bit of the age of this office park in spite of the fairly recent upgrades within. Otherwise, everything was clean, fresh, and well-kept.
- [B]Shower Room:[/B] The shower room was better than standard fare and clean, with no aromas of mildew. The table itself was clean and in good condition.
- [B]Water Temperature:[/B] The TS water was the right temperature: neither too hot nor too cold.
- [B]Sauna:[/B] This place might have a sauna, but I didn't notice one.
- [B]Air Temperature:[/B] The air was conditioned, with a slightly damp chill, but not too cold.
- [B]Bathroom:[/B] This room was generally clean and well-kept, without any lingering odors or odd smells, and was in good repair.
- [B]Sheets/Towels:[/B] Sheets and towels appeared fresh and new. In the rooms there are small units that look like mini-refrigerators, and these hold hot moist towels and facecloths. They're hot but not scalding. At the end of the session, the old sheets and towels were removed from the room table and taken to the laundry. They weren't "recycled ".
- [B]Therapy Room:[/B] The rooms all had doors, which were kept slightly ajar during most of the session. The walls go from floor to ceiling; I could hear slight muffled conversations from the adjoining room, but nothing distinct. The room was standard fare, containing a massage table, nightstand, chair, mirror, and wall hooks to hang your clothes. The massage table was of more than adequate length / width and had a hole & cushion for the head.
- [B]Final Amenities:[/B] The therapist used the hot, moist washcloths to wipe away the massage oil, and she brought a small bottle of cold water before I departed. In the interior foyer, the ubiquitous bowl of candy was situated near the entry / exit.
[B][u]SERVICE[/u][/B]
- [B]Time:[/B] I opted for, and received, a full hour. Fee = . 8.
- [B]Therapist:[/B] My therapist this time was [B]Blue[/B], who now goes by [B]Lily[/B]. She is in her mid-50's. There was at least one other therapist on staff that day, and she also appeared to be in her late-40's or early-50's. All therapists were dressed presentably but not exotically.
- [B]Session:[/B] The massage was of moderate-to-strong pressure and very acceptable. Coverage was mostly complete, although I could have used more work on the calves and backs of the thighs. Otherwise, she hit most of the muscle groups well. She also did some back-walking, which was very satisfying. The finish was HJ, in which she straddled me 69 style, with some brief nursing due to her sensitivity.
[B][u]OVERALL:[/u][/B] As I said before, there are better options in the NoVa area (and even in the Tysons area, IMO), so I'll rank this AMP as mid-range overall. It's clean, accessible, and has good overall quality metrics, so it will be good as a backup when nothing else is accessible.
Please send a PM if you have any questions. Priority replies go to members (Senior or Regular alike) who have a solid record of contributing useful posts. If your posting history is one of simply asking for info or just chiming in with "[I]I agree[/I]" type replies that don't add much, you might still get a reply but on a lower priority than other members will receive. That's just the way it works sometimes. In any case, stay safe, be careful, and have fun. And, when in Rome, do as the Romans do (or did).

Comment on the Older Koreans in the AMPs
A few months ago, I went to an AMP in College Park and the solo girl was a chubby Korean lady in her late 40's. I was not attracted to her at all but since I was there, I decided to get the HJ release which was very business like. This is not meant to be a review but just a commentary on the current state of AMPs in the DMV. In the old days, I went to the AMPs in DC and there was a good selection of young attractive Korean girls doing FS for $ tip on top of the house fee. Now, most of the AMPs in DC are closed and my experience and some of the reports seem to indicate older Korean ladies working at the AMPs. Very different scene now and not very pretty at that.
I had mentioned in another post the emergence of private Korean agencies offering FS in condos but you have to be screened with references and some are so busy that they no longer even accept new clients. Every time I visit these agencies, they have young attractive slim Korean ladies who provide very good service. It makes me wonder whether the young Korean ladies are now opting to work at these Korean agencies as opposed to the AMPs due to the higher pay and screening.
Since my disappointing visit to the AMP in College Park, I have not been back to an AMP again but I have been visiting the Korean agencies more often.
