Massage Parlor Reports

[QUOTE=GripNSip;4043731]Last evening I dreamt of this place on 320 maple Ave E in Vienna. It appears I lost this gamble but I figured I'd report anyway. This place seems to change it names frequently (as many AMPs tend to do) Currently going by the name "I spa" I asked for a 30 min massage and the girl begged me for an hour. Told her I sort of stopped by on a whim since traffic was bad and just needed 30 to kill. Skinny middle aged Chinese provider. Mediocre looks but a nice body. Massage surprisingly started out pretty good, I asked for hard but about 10 min in she switched to soft touch which I took as a promising sign. She went right for playful light touching around the thighs and ass going in to entice the areas between my legs. But she never asked me to flip. Strange. Then she told me I had 8 min left, so I took that as a sign that maybe I'd have to be the one to initiate. So I turned over and casually lead her over to where I wanted the massage. She stopped came back with some oil and asked me to finish myself. I said no thanks, I can jerk off for free at home. Sadly she said no and it was 5 more minutes of light touch and tease and then times up. Now here's the thing I don't get. How do you spend 20 minutes doing a soft touch and tease of the area, go out of your way to turn on the switch and then not have the decency to help turn it off? Seems a bit rude. She asked for tip, I was feeling generous and left. 1.

Maybe I just struck out but I touched on this last week, I don't know how some places like these stay in business on mediocre massages alone. I saw another individual walking in after me and left shaking my head at the disappointment in store for him.[/QUOTE]A couple years ago at Blue in Annandale there wasn't even any talent working that day that I could tell. Just the Mama and she gave the massage. They were fairly new at the time so I am guessing they must have only had like one lady working there and maybe it was her day off. As for your question of how they stay in business. Just like you, you gave them a try. I am sure that happens on a daily basis. The Average guy probably don't even know about intel boards such as this to warn them. Hope you have a better experience on your next adventure.

[QUOTE=JustAsk9;4044269]Thank you. I'll search their names here. If you have any links could you pm them to me? I'll do some digging in the mean time LOL.[/QUOTE][URL]https://nova.bedpage.com/backpage/TherapeuticMassage/authentic-thai-body-oil-massage-by-reya-zwj/6229104[/URL]

Okay, so I admit to becoming curious about the Korean AMPs in Annandale, given the recent reports within this forum. So I decided to dive in and try something other than my preferred Thai indies.

My previous experience with the Koreans was a decent massage followed by a lackluster, standard NOVA. In other words, nothing to write home (or forum) about. Perhaps this time would be different. . . .

I chose Barnie Therapy, located in a quiet professional office park off of Backlick Road between Annandale and Springfield. I called in advance to "reserve" a time because I discovered the advertised phone number is a land line, so no texting accepted. I showered, shaved, and had some blue toast to ensure nothing about me could be used as a pretext for lousy service.

I was greeted by "Lee" a thirty- or forty-something fit therapist in white jean shorts and a white blouse. After pleasantries and questions as to how I came to Barnie (I saw your ad on the internet), I paid the house fee (. 8 per hour) and accepted the offer of a table shower. It was pretty good, although the shower is located next to the front door. I had to bite my tongue to keep from laughing when I saw Lee shed her sandals and put on knee-high rubber boots to perform the bathing ritual. Water was warm and all parts were thoroughly cleansed with a teasing hint of what could follow.

The therapy room was clean and spacious, with a table toward one wall. There was a clock and a video display of the facility's security cameras (4) on a small table close to the massage table. I hopped on, face down, and Lee asked how I like my massage. I said I preferred deep tissue. She then asked if I wanted her to walk on my back. I replied "Hell, yes!" Boy, was I pleasantly surprised! There was a single bar hanging from the ceiling which allowed her to maintain her balance while she applied pressure from her body weight and from her toes and heels. My calves, hamstrings, buttocks, back, and shoulders got hammered. I became totally relaxed. When it was time to flip (25 minutes into the hour) I did as requested. Junior was very relaxed from the shower and back side massage. Lee started caressing my chest and Junior slowly and lightly. I thought this was a great sign for a great HE.

But it was not to be.

All of a sudden, Lee goes into standard jackhammer NOVA mode and Junior was not responding. I could tell Lee was becoming increasingly frustrated. She jumped up on the table and straddled my body while increasing the jackhammering, allowing me to fondle her legs, butt, and goonyah but no free roaming within the shorts. I was not enjoying the experience and had to concentrate on ending the misery. When the eruption eventually happened, Lee hopped off, toweled me off and complained her arm and shoulder hurt from working too hard. There was 20 minutes left on the clock. She accused me of being drunk. I told her I was not, but that I had been at a bar earlier in the day to watch football. I tipped her for standard NOVA (. 4) and a little extra for the outstanding backside massage (. 2) and left. No kiss, no hug, no water.

So, I am a little butt hurt. I know in this world it is always YMMMV, but I was surprised at this session's difference between a great massage and lousy ending. Usually at AMPs it is mediocre massage followed by an okay ending. Has any other member experienced such a strange balance? Given the reports coming out of Barnie, was this an anomaly, was Lee having an off night, or what? I know am pushing the envelope of middle age, but have never ever been a "Two Pump Secure" customer, and I have never had any provider ever complain about having to work too hard to reach Happy Land -- by hand, mouth, or whatever.

I would appreciate any comments.

[QUOTE=DoctorDoctor;4044340]Good question.

Some folks are satisfied without the special surprise that comes with a happy Meal.[/QUOTE]Heh. Good point. All I'm saying is if I'm not going to get a toy in my happy meal I want my burger to at least be cooked all the way thru.

The search continues.

-- Vaughn.[/QUOTE]I've been a few times, and it's good but my sessions haven't been nearly as good as the first few reports on the place made it out to be. But YMMV is always key. And my 2 cents on it is the fact that there's just one girl working there. It was to my knowledge a very new AMP at the time so the lucky individual may have been treated to a first customer special to incentivize him to become a regular. She wasn't expecting the trample of stampeding mongers to follow suit. My first visit was constantly interrupted by doorbells and I can see she was in over her head. So I think it's just a case of burnout. I agree with ya tho;same experience happened to me where she went full blown jackhammer and expected me to stand up to the abuse as she pounded on my rig. Had to tell her to take it slow an ease up and eventually I was able to blow off some steam but if I know they are rushing to get me out the door it always kills my mood. But also keep in mind with many of the ladies you need to develop a rapport. I'm not saying things will change if you become a regular, but they might?

That flips for the after show.

Your service was pretty standard for taking one for the team. The only thing I find odd is preparation for your visit. If it's an escort I'll call and since I know what she will look like put some effort before visit. The nice thing about massage is you can decide in the middle of the day its time and show up. Favorites want me to call but usually they are ready or at most 15 minute wait.

Expectations management is key to having a wonderful time in this hobby. Oh and do your research. Share your experiences. It's always something to write the forum about. Some guys here would be happy with the visit you had. To each his own. By helping each other out we can direct each other to the experience we are looking for.

[QUOTE=Start2;4043808]Believe it or not, some people pay for Self Service. See below: {quoting me}
As the post above tributes, people do keep them in business. The rest of us, thank you for taking one for the team. We'll scratch it off of our list.[/QUOTE]Sorry for the misunderstanding, perhaps by not being more explicit. But none of the PV places which were discussed in that thread and for which I offered a qualified recommendation, have ever required or even suggested self-service of me. If they did, I would not recommend or patronize them. Rather, you can expect at least the NoVA standard and will sometimes receive more than that.

Not that there is anything wrong with paying for self-service. If that is your thing, I have heard of a lot weirder things. My sole objections are to the implication that this is all that ST / them / BG offer. (Ok, and a little bit, to the implication that regarding myself, but who cares about that?

-- Vaughn.[/QUOTE]A 40-minute session and a very mechanical NOVA finish would have resulted in a 20 or 30 tip from me. I do not tolerate a rush job.

An 80 house fee is already kind of high. I can get a 50-minute massage from a CMT for 80.

Of course, if you give a 20 tip, you can expect push back. Some girls will make a big scene and tell all of the other girls to come out and look at this cheap guy. She might try to shame you, but I don't care.

Apparently, she thinks that she can make more money by giving 40-minute sessions and not worrying about repeat customers. She might be right. But, if we start tipping 20, she she might get the message that rushing and providing poor service is really not going benefit her in the long run.

They will rush you out really quick.

Was feeling in need of a pick-me-up yesterday so I made an appointment at ST.

Upon arrival, MMS sent in Lisaa good-looking 35-40 y / o lady wearing heels and an LBD that really accentuated her assets.

She collected the house fee of .6 for hh and I laid down for the massage. After 20 min of light-medium pressure on my back and legs, I went for the flip and off came her dress.

We got right down to business and settled on a figure (another .6) for an excellent NOVA finish.

I'll definitely be hitting ST up again, as Lisa says she's in town until the end of next month.

[QUOTE=RChambers;4029427]Thanks RustyMuffler, TopSpinner, Lucretius (and anyone I've failed to mention) for taking the time to respond and giving some excellent advice.

I'm actually on the "good side of the river" and pass by GB regularly. FS is readily available, and most guys just go for that. I posted here though, since what I'm looking for is a bit more niche and with NOVA menus being as limited as they are, I thought maybe folks' knowledge here might be more targeted, out of necessity.

Also, the ladies in GB seem to rotate in and out more often than NOVA ladies, who seem to me more steady and somewhat longer term. I suppose the expanded menu is tough on the ladies. Variety is great, but it's also nice to have regulars..[/QUOTE]Thank you for this review and the other members / mongers who gave kk the positive nod.

Knowing that I was going to be in NOVA on business I RTFF the week prior to understand the lay of the land.

I had almost decided not to roll the dice because my assessment was the services in this area were offered by old providers with rush / bad attitudes at inflated prices.

I found kk's contact info and after having a few beers I decided to reach out.

She responded quickly unfortunately telling me she was busy but her friend was available.

At this point, I had never met kk so cherry or kk it was really the same difference.

Contacted cherry and made an appointment to see her after my crab feast at Captain Pells.

Cherry is an older Thai woman. Her age didn't bother me because she was attractive.

When I arrived she immediately used hand gestures to communicate, I sensed there was another session going on in the office complex where she works.

After disrobing in the comfortable massage room, I asked her for a shower and she directed me to it.

The solo pre shower was a first for me.

What cherry delivered was a very enjoyable hour. She gave me a very solid full body massage and a nice ST / PM standard finish.

After, I was offered another opportunity to shower which I declined.

When I left I handed her cash for the house and tip, prior to this point the only mention of money was in the appointment setting text conversation where she told me the cost for the massage. I left her the tip that I would leave my neighborhood masseuse who provides similar service and when she counted it she gave me.

Overall, the fees are 15% higher then up north. Good thing I heading home.

Be safe-enjoy.

An acquaintance told me he went to ST yesterday around noon to discuss music.

Met with: Sharron for an hour long discussion (formerly called Channel, second time he's seen her).

Face 6/7 (but for some reason very hot he says).

Bust: 10+ oh my God he said.

Ass: 9+.

Tummy: 9.

Build: soft athletic.

Age: he thinks 30 ish but he's not sure.

Favorite music: he says she likes all music but her taste is more expensive than most (4 out the door cringe / embarrassing / totally worth it).

He says he's also seen Lisa who's a little older, very hot, open to all music but nowhere near as skilled YMMV He says Lisas discussion cost is on par with what you'd expect for the whole discography south of DC. He says he's been to ST 5 times in 4 months and it's always been fantastic. However at that cost he's now considering playing craps instead.

My experience is when I engage, get to know the other person, on a human level, the sessions are enjoyable.

P.S. I told her I learned of Barnie from this site, she laughed. OMG!
