Follow-Up Oasis Gainesville Haymarket
[QUOTE=Maxx0;2959898]In reading and searching the forum, I have seen where this location generally offers a good massage, no he. I gave it a shot, walked in, requested 1 hour massage, was shown to private room, paid. 6 up front, seemed clean with all fresh table coverings, the name 'sarah' was given, she is a (subjective) 5/10 on looks and body, 6/10 on massage skills. Based on my limited experience, left happy. Lotion is stated as premium which is possible, but I have my doubts. I requested deep tissue, she delivered a descent back, legs, neck, shoulder massage, hot towel wipe down felt good, a bit of light finger pass teasing, flipped and more light finger pass teasing, some over the clothing roaming permitted, grand finale, . 4 tip, left smiling. I first stopped into the Thai place a few doors down, but they were booked and comparatively expensive.

Back in town for a bit and revisited Oasis and was almost, but not in the end, let down. There was two gals, neither one a knockout, but nice enough. In my view, I drew the better looking Sofia (Sophia? She asked if I wanted 4-hands, told her no, just her, she smiled and led me back, all standard stuff, sporadic communication throughout, a bit of teasing, the lower back over gluteus and upper thigh muscles forearm glide was very nice with bladed hand passing tease. Her hard (which I requested) massage is pretty good. Somewhere in the back-and-forth talk closing on the hour mark she talked me into changing from the. 6 one hour to $ for 90-min massage, which is okay as I did need more time on the table. She flipped me with about 15 minutes to go, at about 10 minutes to go she said you need at least 2 more hours and laughed, so I said well I think you have missed one important area and removed all covering grabbing 'spike', she said oh no, we don't do that, trouble, but she did not cover me back up so I asked her if not here maybe somewhere later, and she responded with a questioning comment "you no trouble right", and after a bit of talk got the oil and lubed 'spike' to a he, tipped her. 40, left at ease and happy. I guess this place is a definite YMMV and may even take a bit of convincing that you are not 'trouble' - safe travels and happy events / maxx0.
AMP house fee price competition?
Maybe it's just me but I've been noticing more places featuring a house fee of 60 instead of 70 or 80. The links below are just a few of the ones I've seen recently. I understand the Angel Therapy ad says it's a temporary promotion but it'll be interesting to see whether any price increase sticks if business drops off as a result. I generally prefer indies but even some of them have told me business has been rather slow. Not sure what's going on (Economy? Election?) but for whatever reason it seems to be a good time for clients.

Full disclosure, I haven't visited any of these places recently so I can't personally vouch for the availability or quality of extra services. But I did visit the older version of Forever, when it was known as Evergreen, and always had a satisfying session.
More market pricing observations
[QUOTE=Hariending;3130481]I tried Angel Therapy again on Friday. Coco was busy the times I wanted so tried the other girl, Kim. Typical K parlor experience. Nothing to complain. The special price. 6 is good for her plus. 4 for tip.
I actually believe Coco is a. 8 material. They may be just trying to bring customer to see her so that they will come back for her. The place looks new, clean and for the special rate it is definitely a visit worth.
I heard there is another young girl but could not get to see her.
I also tried Euto in Reston. Grace. Good massage, and provider did not give me a HE feel. So I was ok leaving with. 6 house fee and. 2 tip. When in mood for a good massage, please try The back walking was very good. She also use knee to crack your back. Very good feeling.
One of my friends told me that Fairfax has 220 plus spas. No wonder prices going down the way it is. Good for us. It is important for us to help each other to find the cream so we all get even better deals.
Peace.[/QUOTE]There are at least two indie FBSM providers who have recently started offering discounts when they've been operating for years without them. One is Bonita in Springfield and the other is Jane in Tysons.

Bonita went from not offering discounts (for her FBSM sessions) to offering them on weekday mornings and more recently she's started offering them even on weekends. Today her 60 min sessions were $70 before noon and now they're at $75 until 4 pm. Jane's pricing has been rock-steady for years at 140/ hr with no shorter sessions offered. While her hr session is still the same she's now offering 45 and 30 min options. For anyone who has had the pleasure of visiting Jane, you know she takes pride in her massage skills and it's quite a change for her to offer anything less than one hr.
Even though this is the MP forum, here's another current example (from the escort section) of possible price pressures in the market:

Again, the point of this post is to draw attention to the bigger picture, not to discuss the pros and cons of Bonita, Jane or one particular Asian crapshoot place. If, as I think is the case, the hobby marketplace has become a little soft, then it should make clients more confident that they can be price-makers and not just price-takers.
