Massage Parlor Reports

[QUOTE=HeavenKnows;4407247]This place is strictly legit. Just a good massage in a more relaxed setting. No hint of up sells. More like Chinese women looking for possible suitors. I went there for several years and got great massages but never more.

HK.[/QUOTE]I took the plunge. I don't live far and have constant lower back pain, so I figured, why not?

It's just what everyone else said. Legit massage. The older masseuse (whose name I could not understand) was a bit flirty, but maybe that's because I'm almost their age at this point.

They do a really good job on the upper legs if you have sciatica (back pain that shoots down into the legs). And I'll also say I found it a lot more pleasant and pleasurable than the professional physical therapists / masseuses who leave you feeling bruised.

This comment really spoke to me, LOL. Being very much acquainted with both Clyde's and Silk since the 1980's (when Silk was Rainbow Spa, and before it became 21 Therapy) the quality of service for both is still right on par. After a long hiatus from the hobby, I was surprised that the current Silk experience is almost identical to the old Rainbow. While neither restaurant nor AMP is necessarily a 5-star experience, each provides good and predictable service.

[QUOTE=GingerMan;4350453]I stopped in there right after opening one weekend morning not long ago, and the doorbell rang and rang. Busy as all get-out.

To make an analogy, if you know Howard County, Silk reminds me of the restaurant, Clyde's.

Both have been in the same location for over three decades, both offer consistent good service and product. And both charge a bit more than what you would pay elsewhere for similar product. But I keep going back to both for the reasons above. And where other businesses come and go, Silk and Clyde's just keep trucking.[/QUOTE]

I had no idea RL had backdoor. Thanks guys. I generally don't give af who sees me walk in somewhere but always good to make them feel like you've been there. Is there a bell there too or is it a knock knock?

[QUOTE=Hans3;4421059]I completely agree. RL is my favorite place these days, with good service and moderate tips. Like you said, the key seems to be to become a regular who is known for treating them well. My theory is that using the back door is a good idea too. I like it because it is more private, and it also shows that you know your way around.[/QUOTE]Haven't been to RL in years, what's the house fee there these days?

[QUOTE=Swifty53;4440100]Haven't been to RL in years, what's the house fee there these days?[/QUOTE]House fee is $70 for one hour. The last gal I saw was happy with a $60 tip for untranslated French to completion, but don't count on receiving more than a basic HE until you've been there a few times.

I'm kind of done with AMPs. It's not just the poor service and possible trafficking issues, but the fact that I often don't even get a decent massage out of it. With chronic pain issues and a stressful life at home and work, it's nice to actually get something therapeutic along with the ending. When I lived in other cities south of here, I was able to find licensed massage therapists that stayed under the radar. Been having much less luck in this area. I'd be willing to trade info if anyone has any therapists they go to.

Probably best to go through PM (that way it stays under the radar).

[QUOTE=JThoma13;4406538]Anybody have any luck at this place? I went there today and everything about the set up screamed that extras were available. However, while I got a good massage, that was the end of it. There was some playfulness that made me think that there might be something if I went back but I'm not sure.[/QUOTE]I went once and had a guy. Very bad massage. I think it's just legit.

Dropped by silk yesterday around lunch time. Called before hand to see of Sofia was working. Mama confirmed she was. Pulled up and mama didn't recognize me. It's been awhile but still kinda broke my heart LOL. Paid. 6 for 30. Anyways got in the room and shortly after Sofia walks in. Iswear she's built like a goddess. She also didn't recognize me until ishe saw one of my tattoos. Then things turned for the better. Iswear every visit with her gets better. She did try to upsell me this time. Saying $ for full b2 b. I sweet talked her into just dropping up top. Left happy. . 6 tip.

Went to Wellness Foot Massage, my go to legit place.

Sounded like another monger was there and having more success but I could be wrong. The staff there are usually older and not that attractive.

I had Nancy, she was probably in her 40's or 50's. She had nice assets up top though. Self finish was offered but I was just there to get some knots out.

YMMV.

Went there looking for Cici, also drew Nancy. Gave one of the worst massages ever. Zero method, just random touching. Flip was the standard happy ending. It was going to be my 8th massage with Cici, but I was told she went to New York. We don't appreciate what we have until it's gone. Cici was consistently the best massage out of all my AMP experiences. I even suffered through one bad one when she was suffering from a cold and was sniffling the whole time. It was not relaxing to feel sorry for her. But, these poor women have it pretty bad compared to our situation, so it's never really relaxing realizing they are in these places 24 hours a day and probably never get a break, not even when they are sick.

This was my last visit to a parlor. I'm sick and tired of the games and disappointments, sick of flipping the coin and see what happens. My last five massages at three different locations were all duds. Time to give up this hobby and find something new to keep my interest.

Good luck everyone. Wish me luck keeping my word. There are better ways to spend my time.

Back in Maryland, RL was my first stop. I only get here twice a year. I was not disappointed, great shower all areas were cleaned. Decent massage and I enjoyed all of the extras. I wish I could get there more often.

A gem here is the rare exception. The norm here is ladies that should be mamasans, if they were younger and better looking.

There is a younger provider there now named Bong Lee. Average level massage but she made it worth my time. As always YMMV as she's pretty inexperienced.
