Anyone got any stories about the brothels/parlours in Cardiff

[PMAC123]

Talking about Ambassador, 1st Choice, Abigails, and Angels mainly - but the old/dead ones too like Bay Massage etc

They are well known for providing pretty shitty service for a low price and are popular with the drunk crowd and stags rather than seasoned punters like you'd find here.

Usually if someone asks me about them I tell them to stay well away and point them to an independent instead.

Regardless, they have been around for many years, and had thousands of girls through their doors. I'm sure many people have been lucky enough to have a great service there. They do seem to be somewhat dying off, which is both deserved and a little sad.

I'm 35 and popped my punting cherry in Ambassador when I was 18 - barely fucked her as I was so blown away by the whole concept and a little nervous. I went with some old friends who were a bit hooligan-ish and one asked for a cup of tea then purposely smashed it in the toilet which just came across mean but I had to chuckle a bit. I'm not sure if this is still the case, but in those days there was an area out the back alley where the girls would go to smoke, but it was absolutely nuts as gangs would be walking up and down the alley all night mugging people and terrorising the girls to the point going for a cigarette there wasn't safe.

I also had a female friend in college who worked there "as a receptionist" and "on the phone", I always had a suspicion that she was doing more than that but could never confirm. She wasn't particularly hot but I would have paid to fuck her for the novelty of looking at her in class afterwards.

I've not been back as far as I can remember but I went to 1st Choice about 10 years ago and had the worst punt of my life - the girl was so loose that I couldn't feel anything, and she seemed genuinely upset and surprised when I mentioned this, to the point I went home feeling awful. I mean actual wizard's sleeve status.

I also find it interesting these places have been opened for decades yet we know next to nothing about who runs them, what girls come and go, or anything really - you just kinda have to knock and wing it. Yet they are in many ways legendary Cardiff establishments.

Anyway, some of you have been around much longer than me and I'm imagining there are probably some funny/crazy/shocking/interesting stories from these places. Anyone got anything?

I remember my first visit was the one on woodville road in its early days when it was called blondies or blondes.
The girl I saw was one of the hottest I’ve ever seen, she had just been outside buying cream cakes for the other girls, I had to wait for her to finish hers while I waited on a massage table in the room.

I only had a wank off her, but she wanked me off all over her tits.
I was too nervous to have a full service there. I went back many times after that but never managed to see her again.

Not long after a member of the Welsh government had a heart attack and died there. I hope he wasn’t with that girl and she gave up from it lol.

Trust the government to ruin our fun

First one I went to was the Woodville road place , can’t remember what it was called as it seemed to change its name a lot . I went to ambassador suite once, same First choice and Bay massage . But easily the best was Angels , have some great memories of that place , going down that back lane on my half day from work . Had some excellent gitls there too , I think I had my first anal experience with a bubbly blonde , I think her name was Jade , real Barbara Windsor type , happy days

The name Barbara Windsor brings back fond memories. I met my first lady of easy virtue almost 70 years ago. I lived with her for two and a half years. She had worked in the Cabaret Club in Bond Street where one of the other ladies was Barbara Windsor. 'nuff said.

Whole, or should it be hole, heartedly agree. Jade, Corel, Mel and were outstanding.

Popped my punting cherry in Oasis Massage just off Albany road, got the number from the echo and rocked up shaking woth fear. I  visited ambassadors a few times with my mates when drunk, and also the one further up towards gabalfa flyover.
Went to bunnies in Swansea pissed up with student mates a few times too.

When I got a proper job and had a few quid spare I booked my first proper escort, Maddison a cockney tourer and the service difference was night and day, I booked Sweet Melanie a week later in the apartments next to the British Gas building and I was hooked,

Side note, does anyone know if the Melanie advertised in Swansea is the Sweet Melanie who was very popular in the early 2000s around cardiff? I'd visit again if she is purely for nostalgia and the fact I remember her as taking very good care of my younger self haha

Ah yes I forgot about Oasis , went there a few times and saw an excellent black girl , her name escapes me at the moment, probably come back to me , didn’t they have a major fire there ?

After the fire it reopened as the Retreat. Run by Lisa/Liz, who also took clients and introduced me to relaxing massage. There was an actual massage table as well as a bed upstairs. Downstairs back room had Jacuzzi bath in the corner with mirrors on the walls. Area Incorporated into the cafe there now, minus bath and mirrors!

I remember a nice local black girl who went by the name of Tia. She was very nice. Is this who you're thinking of?

There was also an establishment at the top of Crwys Rd.
Name completely escapes me! I saw a few nice ladies there, but it went downhill. I believe the owner got sent down for something involving guns?

Was that A1? Found my way there via classified adverts in Western Mail. Don't know about any guns.
