Relax Massage -- not the vibe I got
I stopped in tonight just to see what the hoopla was about. Rubmaps had all these amazing reviews on the place. I walk in. A petite girl was on her cellphone blaring her music. I asked her about the pricing and she couldn't understand a word I was saying. She just kept repeating, "massage? I kept repeating, "pricing". I was just checking it out to see and then all of a sudden a slightly older asian lady came out and started doing the something. I said, "thank you for your time" and left. I looked back and the older lady was speaking to the younger girl in an angry manner. Well, maybe if I understood what the hell was going on I might have gone further, but based on this review I think I'll pass and try another place out. Also the Backpage ad that was on there is gone. I'm sure the photos of the girls were stock photos from somewhere anyway.
Anyone have a serious recommendation for around the GR area? I haven't stopped in a Esquire yet on Burton and thought I'd check it out since it's one of the few I haven't stopped in yet.
[QUOTE=MrCruzer;2686476]After reading a review of Relax Spa on 28th, that included a detailed account of FS with DATY and lots of satisfaction, I decided to check it out myself. I am not an overtly experienced massage enthusiast, but the review of Relax was so effusive and complimentary, I needed to check it out. I entered the joint, with no sign and an ominous purple light, and saw a gaggle of various Chinese women of different ages. I glanced into a room off to the side and see a fat Italian man sitting in a room looking like an extra in the Sopranos (confusing). I asked if they took credit cards and they did. A younger, somewhat unrefined young woman led me to the room. She had a fit body and was cute. We discussed price and she asked me to pay ahead of the massage. I asked about tip and she said $45 for 30 minutes and $40 for nude massage. I was stupid and paid upfront. I got undressed and laid on the table. She whispered something unidentifiable to me and left the room. A few minutes later after some shouting in Chinese a woman enters the room and begins rubbing me with a towel on my back (never a good sign). I gently caress her leg and feel a silky yoga pant only to find it was a different girl. Older. Late 40's. Not the girl I met at the door. The massage was awful, but I continued to caress her and see if it would get better. After a firm ass grab, she flips me over and I ask if she would get nude. Her English was almost non-existent and it was a struggle to communicate. I went back and forth with her explaining I had already tipped for what I thought was a nude massage, and she kept debating me. Her lack of English and weird behavior kept reiterating the fact that I was paying to have some sex-traffic victim, rub my joint for a few seconds of bliss. It was one of the most non-sexual experiences I have ever had, and a few times I actually almost got up and left. She ended up giving me an awkward, forced, not-sexy handy and let me roam in one of the most shitty ways possible. I left feeling mildly disgusting, guilty and generally shitty about the whole exchange. I am an adult and realize that this industry and those in it are not on top of the world so to speak, but having to see how rough the trade is, laying naked on a table is a real boner buster. I am a fit, 30 something dude with a high sex drive so I enjoy the occasional massage, but when the experience is as bad as the one I received at Relax, it makes me think I need to readjust my priorities.
Avoid. Hard.
Sorry about your bad experience. These bad experiences seem to occur more often when service is pre-paid. I think providers attitudes goes to, well I've been paid how fast can I get through this session, from I'd better do a good job so I get tipped well and he will return. I personally never tip til the end, and seem to get closer to my full time and a decent MS and HE as a result.[/QUOTE]
