Massage Parlor Reports

[Member #6951]

FW continues to be a solid experience. Had my best experience to date. GFE-esque. Excellent shower. Good massage. Left quite happy with my hunger satiated.

After all the Seattle weather we've been having, I decided I wanted to see the Sun. Ruby was my therapist. Taller, slender up top. She gave a great deep tissue massage. It wasn't a flowing, swedish-type of rub, but pressing down into the muscles to loosen them up (sometimes using knees / feet to get deep). I was draped with a thin sheet for the first 20 minutes or so, and she was working through the sheet. She did not use any lotion, and it felt awesome. Nice teasing before the flip, some roaming up top, and a nice slow NoVa finish. I would return.

When I first started visiting AMPs a couple of years ago, I frequented "Mickey" over near Baileys Crossroads a few times. Mickey was my "first. " Great way to ease in. I see there's a new ad for that address on Columbia Pike. Any thoughts on where Mickey has gone and / or what the replacement is like?

Based on JMSuttr's post, I did a quick G-search. I can't verify Mickey is actually still there, but the studio has an active BP advertisement and other review sites have reasonably current reviews. Thank you for sharing the info -- looks interesting. I'll TOFTT and let you know.

Don't know if she's still working but her website is still active. If you make contact and she's still doing massage, please come back to the forum and let us know. Better yet, if you book a session, come back and post a report.

Believe it or not, even though lifestyles (working versus retired) are different, schedules are more or less the same: get up early, go to work, have lunch, finish work, eat dinner, and go to sleep early for work the next day (if it's Sunday through Thursday). Probably affects AMP busy times in much the same way.

BTW, you didn't mention what your former USASG handle was. Care to share it?

Hi.

Long time lurker and old account holder but back with new handle. Since new here now, not requesting sensitive info.

QUICK SUEVEY: In this area, what days of the week and at what time are the "slow" times for the cAMPS?

- I think it varies by city and local, but I hate to go at a busy time and get the rush.
- I do love to go when it is slow and they want to pull you in and keep you.

I sometime go in to check out the lay of the land and say I was passing by, and could I have a card and will call when I have more time. If they are slow and bored, they will try hard to keep you there and then it usually is more fun! So what hours are they slow and on what days? Or, when are they busiest?

Thanks,

Welcome back, DC002. By the way you're surveying locations (NoVA, Charlottesville, Roanoke, Ft. Myers), it looks like you want to get back into the swing of things in a serious way. I'm sure the mongers here will be more than happy to help.

Regarding the CAMPs, I'm not sure there's really any predictable "slow time" or "busiest days", to be honest. It depends as much on the weather as much as it depends on proximity to payday and a host of other factors. The "mood" can strike any given monger at any given time. So, unless there is a common biorhythm we can use to predict those, you're probably best to flip a coin. From my own experience, I've never had difficulty anytime I've gone to pay a visit at the CAMPs. Calling ahead does often help, though. Hope this helps a little bit.

Just out of curiosity, where are you located nowadays? Oh, and what was your old handle?

Hi RR,

Since you asked, and I see you have been helpful in the past, I travel to Florida in the Winters and summers are split between Roanoke (lake) area and and. VA. And need to passing thru Charlottesville to fuel up and break up the long ride!

Example relative the SURVEY: In SW Florida, people get up early, play golf, eat dinner and go to sleep early, which affects AMP busy times I think, . Compared to and. VA which seems to be very different.

Cherio,

IME, busiest times tend to be during lunch hour and also as mongers are heading home from work in the early evening. I've found the slowest times to generally be right after the AMP opens and then again during midafternoon (2-4 pm).

Weekends can be a crapshoot as some places are crazy-busy while others are dead. Many other variables to consider, of course, but I've had pretty decent results using these times as a guideline.

I visited a spot in Chantilly. Think "Robert Paris" where two AMPs are located. I visited the one facing the main road starting with the letter "M".

I had Sara, pretty attractive, mid to late 30's maybe, nice round backside, C cups. 80 for the entrance fee (she provided a really good massage which is a shock coming from a Korean AMP). No TS but if you want to, they have a self-serve shower, which I find is the only drawback to this place. Based on other reviews from other monger websites, this place gets pretty good reviews. They are a bit skittish of uncle LEO as when Sara asked me if I have been here before, I said yes and had to name drop another provider that works there to put her at ease and then she went out of the room to bring in the other provider to verify. She let me feed as if I was a baby and had a really great attitude. OTC and a little UTC (didn't attempt to go below). I got the feeling if she feels a good vibe with you, you can get her digits with subsequent visits.

The general tipping benchmarks have been discussed often in this forum and most of the time you'll see mongers paying 40 for a clothed HJ, 60 if the top comes off or if substantial roaming is allowed and around 80 for oral options (give or receive). Of course, there are variations around these amounts depending on a few other variables, but those are pretty much the going rates.

After years of not going to an AMP, that info was exactly what I came to this site to find out. Plan to pay RTC a visit on my lunch break soon so now I know how much to grab from the ATM. If anyone has advice for that location they would like to share, I would definitely appreciate it. Will post a follow-up after my visit in the next couple weeks.

[JmSuttr]

The first point is true, and not much you can do other than play as straight as possible and hope for the best on limited time.

As for the latter point, far too true. The first two places I visited, I tipped a little more after I fell for the acting, then hoped to earn future 'goodwill' before I knew anything. The first place I eventually revisited three weeks ago. First provider saw me enter and chatted with new provider while I got ready for table shower. Massage was below average, finish was a gloopy lotion avalanche, and the expected tip was far too high. I tipped based on Jim's guidelines and the grief and final act acting isn't worth dealing with. Not planning on returning as my price 'rep' is apparently higher than the service provided.

I suppose the easiest way to sum it up, is our own rep is earned by our actions. It really is a two-way street.

I am to 'drive' respectfully at all times.

I'm guessing a lot of mongers have had experiences that have messed up their relationship with a specific AMP or masseuse. Sometimes it's because of getting a rep for overtipping such that it becomes too expensive to keep visiting. And of course sometimes it's an issue with the MMS or one or more of the masseuses. IME, one classic scenario is when one girl starts to see you as her exclusive client and trying to see any other masseuse brings about an extreme amount of drama. This happens even more often if the client is a nice guy, handsome and a good tipper.

The good news is there are plenty of other AMPs to visit as you learn from your experiences. I don't visit AMPs as often as I did in the past (prefer indies more) but I've always found it useful to have 2 or 3 "go to" places as it kept me from visiting one place too often and getting caught up in any drama. If things at one AMP got to the point where one girl became too possessive, I could then easily visit one of my other spots. If the possessive masseuse gave good service then I would still keep her in my rotation but I always made it a point to never see any of the other girls at that spa. The girls talk constantly among themselves about clients and even if the girl was on vacation or on a day off, it's a 100% certainty that she would find out and then the service level would probably go down (and the drama would go up). If for some reason I had to drop an AMP from my rotation it was good to have the other backup options while I tried out new spas to take its place.

IMHO, it's always good to have some low-cost (relatively speaking) options in your pocket and AMPs are perfect for that. With a little care you can become just enough of a trusted regular at 2-3 places while at the same time sidestepping potential drama situations. And when it comes to tipping protocols we should all read and heed Telcova's recent post (below).

Happy hunting and stay safe.

Was in the area and decided to hit Fran Wellness. It was 7 or so in the evening and was able to see an attendant (Nicole) right away.

Since she was new to me, I went with the 1/2 hr option. The massage itself was average to good. She asked who I've seem before, when was the last time I was there, etc.

Then she started asking how much I tip, I don't like to play that game. I told her depends on the service, 40-60-80 depends on you, maybe she didn't understand but she wouldn't let up.

I got so frustrated I said, OK thank you. And got up: she knew I was ready to bolt. All of a sudden her attitude changed and she and asked me to stay as she reached for JR.

What's a guy to do, so I sat back down on the table and she looked me in the eye while making Mr happy while giving me pecks on the lips.

This got me going and I settled down. After she went to wash her hands and finished with some face / scalp / shoulder massage. It was unnerving for a bit but ended well.

T.

Great example of how to flex the market power that comes with the client's control of the cash side of the cash-service transaction. You did it without being rude and her response was textbook.

Kudos for reminding us all that we don't have to allow ourselves to be price-takers in the hobby marketplace.

P.S. I'm just guessing but I wouldn't be surprised if Nicole opened up even more to you on future visits (if you're so inclined).

[Telcova]

Years ago there was a Spanish chick that worked there, she was way hot.

The link below provides info on the best massage. It was very popular some years ago, but has gone through a couple changes. I haven't patronized in a while, but only for proximity reasons. Good luck and have fun.
