Lessons from an AMP veteran
The closing of the Lawrenceburg AMPs was a blow to the local hobby market. The few AMPs that exist now are hyper-cautious, and you may have to visit multiple times just to get a friendly HJ. At that point gentlemen, you might as well hit the singles bars or the online dating sites....your odds are about the same!
I have been going to AMPs since the early 1990s. In 1993 I discovered three great AMPs near the Dayton Mall. Lots of beautiful women for me for about 3 years, until they were closed down. The end of my hobbying career? Not quite. In the mid-1990s, there were a few good AMP-style places that featured hot local women. (Do any of you remember the "Therapeutic Center" down in Northern KY? My toes curl just thinking about it.) Then they were closed down....Ten years ago, Fairfield was the place to go, until another inevitable bust. Then around 2005 we got the Lawrenceburg AMPs, and they lasted for about 3 years....
As a longtime AMP client (and general veteran of the hobby), I have drawn a few conclusions. The following may console you in this current dry spell:
>Massage places will always draw LE attention, because they are so public. None of these establishments will last more than 3 years. However, new ones will arise in place of the ones that were closed down. Count on it.
>The hobby market, like the economy in general, goes through periods of boom and "bust". The cycle goes as follows: There is some very public LE activity (e.g.: the May 2008 closings of the local AMPs and the recent Craigslist crackdowns.) Then for a while things are very quiet, and it takes a lot of effort to find any decent options. Slowly things get better, eventually building to another peak....and finally another bust.
>Right after a "bust" phase, hobbying is often more trouble than it is worth...Note that there aren't a lot of great options on CL or in the AMP market now. Many providers are lying low.
The key, gentlemen, is to save your $$$ for now and wait for things to get better again. I have been through many of these cycles before, and trust me, better days *are* ahead.
