External Link/Members OnlyOn one of the rare occasions I have to be footloose and fancy-free these days, I thought I'd try the Oriental Massage Parlour on George St. in Reading, which I have visited once or twice before. It was mid-afternoon on a Monday, but the middle-aged Chinese minder said they were fully booked and, indeed, there were two or three lads in the waiting room, so I had to try another day. The following Saturday, there was no problem and no waiting.
The place is quite a small converted house, with a waiting room on the ground floor and two or three bedrooms upstairs. (There may be another room downstairs, but as the waiting room is pretty well open to the street, I try not to hang around there.) I was welcomed by a slight pretty mid-twenties chinese girl, called Suki, if I caught the name right. She led me up the tight spiral staircase and asked me to take my shoes off at the top of the stairs (I wished I'd remembered that detail - I'll go in slip-ons next time).
The deal was £45 for a one hour massage plus £45 for B2B and HR. I got a good straight massage for about 30 minutes ending. The only annoyance was that the minder knocked on the door part way through to tell her about something. After some credit card swipes, she stripped for the B2B (keeping her mask on). She was a pretty good tease and I was definitely ready to be relieved after 15 minutes or so. Quite often these days, I don't find the HR quite stimulating enough and have to finish off for myself, but her technique was excellent and she brought me to a very satisfying conclusion. There was a good shower in the corner of the room and she was very attentive about drying me down after my shower.
Overall, I'd give this a positive, although not super-special. £90 may seem a bit pricey, but I think I'd be prepared to pay the same on another occasion.
