Massage Parlor Reports

[QUOTE=Vitamin P]It seems that most all the AMPs in Tampa are owned and/or controlled by a very few people.

Both J-Spa on Gandy and Japanese Spa on Kennedy are owned by the same woman. She is living as commonlaw with the owner of Spa Yokohama. He really controls and calls the shots at all three places.

As far as I know, Nagoya and Oxygen are independently owned and operated.
But I wouldn't be surprised to learn that they too are owned by the small circle.[/QUOTE]

It isn't uncommon for one person to own more than one of the spas. The person who just sold Magic had an intention of owning a spa in the Biloxi, MS area until saner minds convinced her the damage from katrina would take many years to bring the area back to a bustling downtown economy. She also had intentions of buying another spa in either Tampa or Orlando but the economics and constant watchful eye of LE made that idea less and less attractive as the months went by. Whether or not some unknown man or group is pulling the strings on most spas, I do know that women who own spas on their own buy them, get as much income out of them as they want, and then sell them at a profit to another person. Sometimes they use the profit to buy a legit business and other times they go looking for another spa to buy somewhere else. And, sometimes they blow the money on gambling, drinking, or shopping binges.

If I am not mistaken, the Osaka owner also owned a convenience store and a clothing store.

Unlike other businesses, the challenge with an AMP is where to get the "product". That is where the owner must rely on the "network" to maintain a flow of fresh faces.

[QUOTE=Tampahunter]Made a trip up to Ohio last week, tried out an AMP in Warren. Advertisements in Plain Dealer led me there, along with a coupon. Tried a place with a $10 coupon, advertised 5 new young girls. No doubt about that. Pleasant surprise was $50 for hour, $10 off of that. Table shower was fine from an older, maybe 45 mamasan type; "get you nice young girl now." Sue came in dressed in bikini top and short shorts. She was smokin hot. Nice light massage, on flip went right to business. Asked if I like to suck pussy, said yes, and she had me go to town. Never had one go off like this one before. Mouth wasn't like a glazed donut, whole face was. Again, smokin hot and tastes great. After that, awesome CBJ. $120 damage. Highly recommend, PM for name. Seems like they must all be that way since this was my first time in that area and just picked one with a coupon. Don't anyone tell me we're spoiled in Tampa anymore.[/QUOTE]

Great Post.
Warren Ohio. got to love that place.

I had been to several training seminars for Lincoln Electric in Cleveland Ohio.
Stayed at the Eastlake Radisson for lodging.

Even in the December weather still managed to make the 1 hour drive to Warren. Got nicknamed FL guy there.

Mamasan explained that LE was no problem as Warren is so devastated economically that LEO left the AMPS alone.

Economically challenged town, but full of my favorite hobby shops.

I sure do miss the talent and the interest by the girls. Business was slow back then and a 1 hour session usually ended in 1 1/2 hours.

Mamasan invited me into the kitchen the third visit in as many days and we started drinking Korean wine. That wine is potent in more ways than one.

Great time by everyone. Enjoy and be safe WAV.

Used to live around the corner from that Radisson. Lot's of friends who work for Lincoln. You're right though, Warren is so depressed it makesw sense. Just wish the economic hard times would get them to loosen up her in Tampa.

Anyone been to Japanese Spa lately?

Is "Cindy" back from vacation yet?
I miss her bbbj but no one else there is worth the time, money or effort.

Agreed, Jap Spa has been traditionally rub & tug only.
Cindy is an exception for the past year or so.
She's been on vacation for the past month or so but I look forward to her return.

I previously posted a comment about this place which was very favorable. Made a return visit yesterday and was met at the door by Judy, who I met on my last visit there. Paid 60 for half hour and into the shower I went. Received very nice TS with special attention given to my pogo stick. Once back in the room Judy started on the massage then said in a soft voice, " ok, turn over baby ". She reached for the hand cream and then lifted up her top and dropped her shorts. As she was stroking me, I was fingering her with one hand and at the same time guiding her breasts into my mouth with the other hand. After I shot my load she continued stroking me slowly until I was completely limp. She made sure I was happy. After the hot towel, she continued with a massage and then dressed me. Left a 40 tip. Will be back again when I don't have the coin for full service at my favoriye place. As an added bonus, Spa Nagoya is less then 5 minutes from my job.

[QUOTE=Sawsy]I was traveling recently and saw this piece by Garrison Keillor in another city's daily paper.

Thought some of you might also get a kick out of it:

Anyone else wondering if he got the "happy ending"?

Saw this in a recent online article:

[quote]The allegations, in part, focus on CompuCredit's Aspire Visa, a subprime credit card for risky borrowers. The FTC claims that CompuCredit didn't properly disclose that [u]it monitored spending and cut credit lines if consumers used their cards at certain places[/u]. Among them: tire and retreading shops, [b]massage parlors[/b], bars, billiard halls and marriage counseling offices.

"The company touted that cardholders could use their credit cards anywhere," says J. Reilly Dolan, assistant director for financial practices at the FTC. "What they didn't say was that you could be punished for specific kinds of purchases." [/quote]

Anyway, I've used certain purchases in the past to bolster my frequent flyer miles, in more ways than one, but this is something you should take into account before you pull out the plastic at your favorite spa.

Just in town and decided to check out a local R&T. Overall no complaints. Had a masseuse named Yung, who said she was a dancer from Atlanta and had just moved here. $80 for the house and a $60 tip. It was a manual process, with potential for more, but I didn't pursue. Not the best, but by no means the worst. Right about average.

I saw Angel again recently. Both times very good. I got a great massage and H.E. for 150 for a full hour. She's not bad looking, has a decent body, and is nice to talk to. She works in her apt. in south Tampa. It looked clean and safe. There wasn't much tantra in our session, but that's ok. She has ads in Creative Loafing and a web site. I would recommend her to anyone if you like chocolate gals.

I felt like I really need a decent massage so I took a visit to Oxygen.

Had Lucy and was pleasantly surprised. She walked on my back and did everything I've had for legit massages before. The only thing she didn't do was crack my back on purpose.

She's not the most pleasant on the eyes but not the worst. She went straight to town on the flip without saying a word.

Her voice was nice and encouraging and she allowed grouping. I might visit again if I feel I need a good back rub. I would want to see Tina though just to see how it is.

Maybe she was having a bad day. She just seemed angry and I have seen her have a very unprofessional outburst and yelling match with another of the women there.

On a different note, I took a visiting friend from Boston and let him have Tina.
I got Nana. She must be in her 50s. She has been there for a while, but this was my first try with her. She never used the lufa on the TS. Was all hands. I have to admit that it was fun, but the back scrub to those areas that you can't reach is part of the fun too. The massage was ok. Best I can describe it as unorganized. She kept changing sides around the table. HS was surprisingly good. Overall a good experience.

My friend from Boston? He is ready to move to Tampa! lol. Blown away.

Traveling Mongers Beware of this Place in Hudson on HWy 19.

What a fucking Rip OFF! I am so pissed off I can hardly see straight. After a pleasant round of golf and a dinner and beer at Hooters, I'm driving north on Hy 19 and spot a very pleasant sign. Pleasure Spa and Sun Club. Now I am in desparate need of a FIO (female induced orgasm). I stop in and the sign says "Do not enter if nudity and the lifestyle offends you" I think "Alllll Right! I step in and talk to a very pleasant older gentleman who gives me the tour and says you'll be bathed and rubbed by a woman. You'll be nude she'll be nude and she works for tips. OOOOOKKKKK. I know the code. So I pay the. 4 house fee for 1/2 hour, pick a beautiful red head named Angie and she asks me to set the tip on a shelf. 50. 100 dollars it's up to me. OK so I lay 70 dollars, strip and lay on my back. She comes in and starts a lame little sponge bath and a lame ass lotion rub on my chest and legs. No teasing, no touching the boys. I'm asking about 1/2 way through this, aren't you getting nude too? The gentleman said we would both be nude. So off comes her little sash on the bottom and it took further coaxing to get the top off. She does have a fine little body. But she left the g string on. I was sortof pissed. Then she says OK, fronts done, flip over. I said "How about the rest? No HJ? NO BJ? She says no, we don't do that here. You're kidding I say. No she says, so why the range of tips? If I give you more can I talk you into it? Nope. Turn over. So I do and she gets lame on my back and legs. And says you're done, get dressed.

So I'm too pissed to say anything and I just leave. Never again. I did pass a place called dusk to dawn. Does anyone know if this is the same type of rippoff?
