Is it just my imagination...

...or are there a lot more posts enquiringly about/reviews of massage joints in the South East sections these days.  Used to be it was fairly rare to see posts about anything other than ‘full service’ experiences and providers. 

There seems to be a fair number of members who are clients of this particular sort of punting and who compare notes and focus mainly on this area.  Not knocking it - each to their own although it has never appealed much for a variety of reasons not least the aspect of not knowing what you’ll get in terms of masseuse, services given etc.  Or maybe that’s part of the whole appeal?

massage joints are easier to use when you are not sure of your time. You can walk in for most of them and get a relaxing massage as well as HE, B2B, or full service, depending on your desires. its a lot easier to use them, and not everyone can pop more than once an hour. So massage joints can fill a need for service and ease of use. Many of them have the same girls from week to week, so you know who to ask for too. And they can be a bit cheaper, depending on what you ask for.

Great post    This subject really grinds my gears too. I have absolutely no interest in the 'massage parlour experience' & agree with you in the highlighted bit I quoted from you - if that's your thing crack on, however reading about a worn out old Chinese bird giving a punter an oily hand job with perhaps the possibility of getting her droppy tits out is a tiresome read IMO. Plus the fact that the girls seem to be changed on an almost daily basis - it's not like your reviewing a single WG's profile - turn up one day, get a hand job of Ping-Pong - You return a day later & Old lady Fing-Fong is warming up her mits (Yes I know - casual racism - Please don't get offended masseuse fans & yes I'm sure their not all old - Couldn't give a fuck    )

I think the whole rub & tug set up boarders on the illegal aspect of running a brothel with more than one girl working out of the premises - that's why you get some many massage parlour 'owners' posting on UKP that the services described in a review or post are not on offer - Yeah right !!

Many region boards & review sections are cluttered with posts about these establishments - if I see the words "massage" or 'parlour' in a thread title I don't even bother checking it - It's not my site, I'm happy to be a member, don't think there's a whole lot to be done about it and as you said - some guys enjoy this sort of activity.

Equally I wouldn't be interested in participating or reading about dogging or glory holes - not an interactive sexual activity IMO.

Far be it from me to offer advice to a seasoned punter like yourself Veritas - I guess all we can do is ignore it Sir

Good post/point DrC. My worry is that the apparent increasing number of punters going to massage parlours is actually a reflection of the parlours state of punting in what I call the M27 corridor!
I must admit to using a few massage parlours usually as a last resort when I need to be unloaded and have been unable to find a decent and available WG!

Before anyone says anything about reviews, I don't always bother because of the regular changeover of girls - quality of which as you say DrC is very inconsistent.

A Freudian typo? The parlous state of punting driving us to parlours... 

Are we really talking here about massage shops (mostly Chinese) rather than the classic "massage parlour" where a massage rarely takes place?

It's not the state of punting that drives me to a massage shop, they are quite different experiences for me. At a massage shop you know you're going to get a massage, then likely a HE with anything else not at all guaranteed. A "Full Service" meeting at a massage shop would usually entail less sex for more money than a punt.

[Veritas]

Dr C - I think the aspect that puts me off most is the actual reviews!  Even the positives all too often chronicle a quick rub ‘n’ tug that is short on both conversation and service from a tubby, slightly grumpy middle aged oriental lady.  I’m beginning to wonder if there is actually just the one and she moves round these places doing a day in each.  Posters who get anything more get into a frenzy as if they had found the holy grail and think they must have some special powers as a result.

Fair enough, you might be in a hurry and just fancy a quick HE but in any other circumstance I personally just can’t see the point.  And if I did just want to forgo any social interaction, get told they ‘don’t offer that’ and get no more than a 5 minute hand job from someone who I don’t fancy then I could just start seeing Romanian SPs

Conclusion: not everyone likes the same thing.

Could be a PhD in this.

Brilliant      Is it Ping-Pong or Fing-Fong do you think ?   

Just so you know your not alone in your views on massage parlours as myself & other posters have said 

[Jonestown]

I feel the OP and Dr Connors pain, I cant stand women with gigantic plastic tits and oversized asses, but i have to wade through reams of posts of that ilk to get to the bits i’m interested in, but I guess its just the way things are. Look on the bright side, if it mentions massage in the thread title you can just give it a miss and move on.

[Warm-Hands]

Wow - looks as if I am on my own here in quite liking massage joints. Find some good ones and they are not tired old Chinese women with droopy tits. I could counter with the wham bam thank you ma'am you get from WGs - but that would be as unfair as accusing massage parlours of being old Chinese women giving an oily hand job. Choose your parlour well and you get an outstanding massage and much more.

Yes if you have an hour to spare, only want a HE and identify an establishment with a lithe young masseuse then a massage in a shop can be very rewarding indeed. Usually for the same price you can get a half hour with a WG and having sex for 20+ of those minutes, in multiple positions, with oral guaranteed and a come inside/on tits/body/CIM. But you may also end up with no punt due to double booking, a bait and switch, a grumpy Romanian, etc.

Different strokes for different folks.

I have punted plenty FS in my time and ticked virtually everything on my list and now lost my punting mojo. I do like a good massage and I do like a good handjob so most of my recent punts have been along these lines. I've only been to a few parlours, but part of the thrill was the not knowing what would be offered. I'm even bored with that now 

The trouble is it is difficult to find the perfect combination, so massage threads in the south east do interest me.

Good to hear points of views from different UKP members on this topic - I stand by my post but genuinely appreciate you taking the time to post this - good point & well made.

Cheers

everyone one is looking for something different
i love to find home massage ladies - they work hard to please you so that you will come back -
its always a gamble on the first massage, will she, wont she, how far - but far better for me than the cold full on Adultworld stuff.

Personally I have quite severe clinical insomnia and one of the few things that relaxes me and helps me sleep sometimes is a really good massage with HR at the end.

This is the only site out there where you can actually find out whether or not a place either a) has any extras or b) gives a good massage as well. It's always crap when you spend nearly 100 on these places only to find that they're rubbish. I don't have that much spare cash so it's very useful for me to know upfront. Which is why I also am posting reviews of my experiences on here for others.

Given that the massage place reviews seem quite popular, in terms of view counts, there's clearly a decent audience for them. If it's not for you then just don't read them and move on.

[Veritas]

Well, the large number of massage related posts suggests there is a solid market for it and so fair enough, as per my original post ‘each to their own’.

As to the ‘if You don’t like it, just move on’ advice so kindly offered by several posters, generally I do BUT not being a client of a particular service doesn’t stop most of us reading reviews and threads about it.  One only has to look at the number of people who don’t go for OWO/BB/WS/Anal/whatever who comment in threads about SPs that offer them.  My reasons for not being interested in such services may have been rather frivolously expressed but I still think there are many more posts about massage as a % of all reviews than there used to be..

[Zimbaman]

Interesting post. Massage is something I’ve been getting into recently for a number of reasons I think. As MH says, it’s a different experience. Sometimes I want full service, other times I might prefer the idea of a nice massage with a bonus ending. As any aspect of punting quality varies enormously as does satisfaction. I’ve found more recently though that most of my punts have left me wishing I hadn’t bothered. With a massage at least I’d have got a half decent massage out of it.

I have to admit, I’ve been a bit lax with reviews lately so will attempt to do some over the weekend. I’ll make sure that I mark the FBSM ones clearly though so they can be avoided

[Stiltskin]

Didn't we used to have a separate board for massage threads? Or am I thinking of another forum?

[wildcard50]

I used to think the same thing. Why pay for a hand job when you can get a fit girl to suck and fuck you for the same money.. no brainer really.

However i became disillusioned with full sex punts many years ago and maybe it was my bad choices but found that the often mechanical routine, lack of enthusiasm and absolutely no connection wasnt doing it for me anymore. I cant tell you how many times i left a full-service punt thinking i might as well have had a wank and whilst there were exceptions (some exceptional exceptions) i found that these were far and few between.

Then i went to visit Julie at Allure Massage in Southampton and my world changed. The sensuality, the teasing, the slow build up, the thought of something else may be on offer and the most amazing slow handjob that for me felt better, in my opinion, than an uncovered blowjob or sex.

Starting to explore this new world I discovered other providers through H&E naturist magazine and whilst nothing got as close as Julie's quality i loved the fact i could just lay there and be pampered. Over the years i have met some amazing women that have given amazing services just with thier hands, some i've been able to push the boundaries with, some i wouldn't want to anyway and i would say most have left me feeling much better than the majority of full service punts i've had over the years.

The popularity of massage services and the number of providers have grown substantially over the years and even some full service girls have started to include massage as a service or even switched to a massage only service. The number of massage shops has also increased dramatically and of course with so many girls jumping on the band wagon the chances of a bad service has also increased. So thank you UKP and those who contribute so that we can all choose our punts with far more confidence. This may mean that the 'will they wont they' scenario disappears and for me some of the excitement but the occasional 'blind punt' always takes care of that.

Absolutely agree with this. I seldom come out of a massage punt feeling dissapointed. I usually come out of a full service pint wishing I hadn’t bothered. For me I’ve still had enough good ones that I’ll persevere. For now at least 

And I totally get the will she won’t she thing. Adds a bit of excitement 

[bangstick]

maybe another way of looking at is is as a sign of the times.

When I first started punting, and AW was young - I had choice between AW, %%% and Punterlink amongst others.  In the A3 corridor there were more escorts and brothels than you could trip over, and then all of a sudden - drought.

Then sergei came along with his girls who either were there against their wills or just plain crooks and just ticked every single like in the profile boxes so every one of sergeis crowd suddenly took bareback anal and then swallowed while you weere shagging her ear.  So we don't know who to trust of what's left.

Now that vacuous hole has been filled by rub and tug joints.

Academy escorts - gone.  Guildford Gold - gone.  and that's the two I can remember.  In any town, you could probably load 60 quid in your pocket, flick open the back of the paper and leave a happy man with your sack tightened.  No more.

Now it's easier to get an appointment with my GP sometimes than it is to a) find a decent escort and b) get an appointment.

It's like plumbers - back in the day they were plentiful and cheap - now try finding one and if you do he could almost charge barrister money!

rant over.

If I won the lottery I tell ya, I'd work my way through every listing on AW in my neck of the woods just to provide an hour long appointment TOFTT directory of good and bad, and at this rate, I'll stil have change in my pocket from five grand!  My town used to have over five pages, now it's down to two and 75% of those are EE girls.

I've yet to try a massage punt, but to be honest you've summed up all my full service punts recently.  After my last one, which I posted on this site (I'd just discovered it) I haven't bothered since then - partly because real life just got in the way but also because shit experiences make you wary for the next one- and that's the crime, she could be great but you've a greater chance of overlooking due to shit previous.

It's a shame that the OP in this thread was full of s*it.

I don't do full service with WGs and like everything covered. 
The thought of getting a really good massage and some naughty time is a double bonus.

I read it - the OP was completely full of shit 

Appreciate your open mindedness about going to explore Guy - let us know how you get on.

I still feel the same about massage parlours but I guess It's good to explore all avenues. I'm looking for a BDSM punt myself at the minute
