External Link/Members OnlyHave just returned from a visit to The Workshop in Royston - I believe they have another establishment in St Albans. I visited because there were generally good reviews for a pricey b2b massage - the location and communal showers being the only negatives.
However, it appears that they do not offer HR with any of their massages anymore and my masseuse waited until the end of our teasing, £100 session to inform me of this. I accept some responsibility for this expensive mistake - which I will learn from - insomuch as I didn't explicitly confirm HR. I asked for a tantric massage, the same as I can see in all previous reviews - the girl was naked, stroking my balls and moaning suggestively throughout - the website carries all the usual innuendo about eroticism and erogenous touch....
I'm posting in the hope that nobody else makes the same mistake.
Comms were easy - rang up and booked for about 45 mins later - tantric massage, 45 mins @ £100.
Paid in cash, but there is a card machine. Lockers and sauna available - I think they got rid of the hot tub. I saw one other fella in there. I showered and waited what felt like ages to be collected from the showers.
My masseuse introduced herself as what I heard as Sofi, but the rota on the website says Sophia. Eastern European, glasses, curly dark hair mainly toned frame with a bit of a belly - nice pert tits and ass.
She confirms tantric and that it is my first time here (I have visited other providers for a similar service) - she says it will be soft and sensual. The massage was certainly soft - lots of light strokes and tickles. No real b2b - she leans over the side of the massage table a bit. I was allowed to stroke the outside of her pussy and ass, and licked her tits. She's moaning on and off throughout - it's not really a massage but the strokes are turning me on. A few accidental grazes of the old boy and on the turn more of the same, but with more ball play and a lot of rubbing around my pubes, but no direct touch. I'm thinking, this is a big tease, can't wait for her to start stroking. And then she just stops and says "I'm not touching down there" - I ask why not (everything is healthy and well-managed, nothing to put her off!) and she says that the rules changed ages ago. I mentioned the website and recommendations I had seen (last UKP review is Jan this year, I didn't't mention that but can't have changed that recently...) and asked if there really was nothing extra for the £100 price and she said that she was naked and that was it. This was right at the end and I'm covered in oil, so can't really make a fuss. But I am writing to tell you that The Workshop does not offer HR - or is running some sort of scam for first-timers where they choose not to.
I showered and left with really blue balls - out into the punting desert of Cambs - couldn't even find a Rom available for a p&d..
