Massage Parlor Reports

[Pilatus65]

The feedback I have gotten centers around a general change in the type and level of enforcement. License checks are now a significant part of enforcement, (vs prostitution stings). The ability to obtain licenses is much harder these days with more schools closing down. And, finally, the new Federal Administration has taken a significantly more aggressive stance with respect to immigration enforcement. So the penalty for messing up is very steep. As a result, people are much more cautious. Take that one step further and it means your odds of getting extras has declined. So perhaps you are less likely to go for a massage. I guess the other trend. Asking for tips up front. Might be the result of supply and demand. If they know you have fewer alternatives, they might be more inclined to get greedy. And, if business is slow, perhaps they try to maximize the cash from the customers that do appear.

If true, would not the appropriate responsive business strategy be to exhibit licenses, when they exist, on the walls in the lobby as evidence of the bona fides of the establishment? It would seem that the business with the most licenses, prominently displayed / advertised would be less susceptible to harassment or license checks / enforcement, and thus, be in a competitively more advantageous position in the market.

Yes I hear a lot of spa don't want to hire unlicensed massage therapist so not a lot of young ones out their except older ones. Sign of the times?

Heard from a few popular providers in the city that it's been real slow. I've been doing my fair share. Anyone know why it's been slow? Thanks.

In a big market like Chicago there are probably a few reasons;.

Competition from other providers.

Varying prices for services.

Sometimes guys aren't available when a provider is around.

Depending on what a provider is willing to do or not do.

Chicago is a buyer's market. Us guys can pick and choose what provider to play with.

Married guys have to spend time with their wives and kids.

These girls can't expect a constant flow of business on a given day. Back in the day a provider could make decent money doing this. These days not so much.

In general the scene sucks with some exceptions but they are few. I'm waiting for a turn around.

Hello, a bit of a newbie to the forum but not to the scene. I'm into Full service places and was wondering if anyone could give me any insight to any places that offer for reasonable prices. (I. E. , $100- $150).

The ones I've come accross so far is CL in rockford, Honey and temptations in Miller. Don't no of any parlors.

If this is not the right for forum for this, please forgive.

Well, if you were at CL in Rockford, the only way you got FS for the quoted price is if you took a half hour visit. An hour (my usual) is. 70 plus the tip for 'services rendered'. ELB, across the street from CL, is another such shop with identical services available for the same price. There are other place in that general area, but prices are higher and in the case of AMP's, you (usually) won't get FS on a first visit. Geneva has a dependable option, but again, slightly out of your price range. Check some of the out-of-Chicago threads for more information.

Did a search on the phone number in the ad; went to the other site. Didn't say specifically, but sounds exactly like an experience I had many years ago (Much younger and Much stupider!) at the Girls! Girls! Girls! Place on North Ave. In Glen Ellyn. Total rip.

Don't walk. Run far far away.

The only thing good about Girls Girls Girls is the song by Motel Crue.

I've seen this girl post a lot and I'm wondering if anyone has some info? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance and if you want to PM me that's fine.

Oh and I'm sorry I always blow up witha bunch of posts/questions and then go dark. It's not often enough that the girl travels.

As long as the old mamason remembers you, you will have a happy time.

I have only seen Jeannie. The light colored hair. Very sweet. Dry massage and finish. Enjoyable. She helps me on with my socks and stuff after.

Looks like she was still posting on Friday. Does anyone know anything more in terms of if she did indeed move?

James.

Do you know the new location? Pm me if you'd like. Thanks!

James.

Lily's great, she's just super nice. (Definitely not a happy ending experience though!) She's a very good professional masseuse, her place is super clean and nice. She usually advertises $50, sometimes $60. (She seems happy with 60 out-the-door). So she winds up being around the same price as Daiva in the same building once you factor in a Daiva tip. (But Daiva is kind of grumpy and unfriendly and her basement studio tends to be freezing cold.) I've gone to Daiva a coupla times when I was in the area and needed my bad back worked on, and Lily wasn't available. I had thought maybe they were related, or friends, both being Lithuanian and running a massage business out of the same building. But they don't even talk.

Thank you, Man.

I usually pay a lot of tips.

Still, total is like $70-85 even after $25-30 tips.

She can charge me $60 since I will pay $20 tips.

(It matches total $80.)

Let me not stingy all the time.

These people have mortgages to pay.

Besides, they chose legit massage though they know they can make more money.

For the same reasons, I will go to foot massages for a while.

($30 everywhere)
