Pre-AW I used to punt quite a lot in parlours and in the better ones the girls felt safe and secure and many were quite enthusiastic. I think one of the problems is that nowadays parlours can attract quite a lazy type of punter and consequently the girls also get quite lazy and work unenthusiastically through a set routine.
After a long break from parlours I visited one out of desperation as there was nothing looking good on AW. I was ready to walk if I didn't find the girls attractive, but the one I was shown was young, slim and pretty. She was obviously a little pissed off at the rough way her previous client had treated her and was quite pleased to find that I requested a GFE. No massage, lots of kissing and touching and then slow sensual oral both ways followed by sex for as long as I could make it last. She was so responsive that she was more than a little embarrassed.
I asked her afterwards why she didn't go independent. Her response was that as a young mum, she only wanted to work a couple of days a week, so it was uneconomical to rent a flat, but she didn't want to have clients in her home. She also couldn't get her head around AW, so it was much easier and more convenient for her to let the parlour cover that side of things and that it was also safer than working on her own. So there are some gems to be found in the parlour scene, who can be as good as the indies, although I do recognise that I was lucky and won't be hurrying back to find another, although I will certainly return to visit this one some time.
As for agencies, I cannot entertain outcalls and their cut is even greater than that of the parlour owners, so for the majority of my punts it has to be indies.
