Amy

Well reviewed and much discussed venue, thought it would serve I as my first review.

Given my first review, I will bore you with some context and background. skip the next whole next para if you don't care.

Done bit o punting over the years, but took a long break, and this forum has been a recent and welcome discovery. I'd basically come to the realisation that purely 'escort' based punting experiences were 99% deeply underwhelming - girls disappoint on looks or service, costs are high for any semblance of quality or reliability. And always moving on to the next one, hoping 'that will be the one'. I just came to the honest realisation that it didn't do it for me. Then I discovered the 'tantric massage' world - and realised that is a move in the right direction. Less overtly sexual, but more enjoyable experience overall, and the orgasm at the end a much more satisfying. I was drawn to the likes of Karma Tantric and similar and felt it was upgrade to previous experiences. Still..a few things I didn't love: 1) those places are expensive 2) the girls frequently draw a line just above where I'd really like in terms of services - I don't actually want FS, but I do want hands to be able to roam to the absolute full extent, 3) The girls were 'ok' pretty, but photos have inevitable had some work. And the girls are slightly older and 'fuller' than I really want. Not saying fat, but my pure preference is very slim. And finally 4, I do actually like a 'proper' massage as the prelude. So, moving in the right direction, but knowing/hoping there is something better. Always suspecting there must be independents who tick all the boxes, but massive risk of uncertainty on the outcome. So thank to all people who make this forum what it is! So, why then go to a walk in? Firstly, reviews here on the place are good, prices fine for what I was after (except not quite on this occasion - to be explained) and what I was actually hoping for was to see the girl before committing, or even better be able to pick a girl.

Actual Review:

Wednesday late afternoon early evening. Walk in - Mamasan at the desk - £50 for 45 mins. I was half hoping to see the girl beforehand, or even better pick one from a bunch - but I didn't want to rock the boat on this occasion and the layout of the place was alien to me initially. The front desk is right by the entrance and the stairs down very close to that. there is a somewhat open view to a back room where the girls seem to chill between sessions but you can't see much from that vantage. Next time I might ask to peep in there and see who's who!

In the event, I was tent down those crazy steep stairs with a room number to go in, and reconciled to a bit of pot luck.

Assuming the girl will turn up in 5 mins or so - I was a little fresh under the pits so thought I'd have a shower before - towel waiting on the table. So, in I pop, start the shower, and the shower head ejects itself and the hose is just spraying everywhere! Anyway, got it under control, all fine. Get out and dry, smallish towel but smelled clean. I get a gentle knock on the door, and I said I'm just drying off - not intending her not to come in, but just to let her know what's going on. In the event, she takes that (oddly) as a signal to go away and come back - which she duly does.

At this point, I am lying on the bed, and I've put the towel over my arse. Which at a place like this is silly, but whatever! She comes in and turns out I am lying the wrong way on the bed - the sheet was covering the whole at the other end and I just assumed it might be one without a face hole. So I get up and go the right way round, having explained the shower is destroyed, and basically looking like a complete amateur  :D

Ask the girl's name - it is Amy. Aha, I think...I'm pretty sure I've read about an Amy on this very forum, and that boded well. Face, a bit meh, body hard to tell. I honestly couldn't work out if she was young or old. She was wearing a slightly comedic black and white cleaning-lady outfit that didn't show her figure one way or the other.

So, we start, and towel comedy continues. Maybe the towel is not normally 'in play' at this stage of proceedings, but having started with it on my arse, it then gets moved to various parts of my body not in any way protecting modesty - not like it was cold in the room, so a slightly amusing prop. Amy's English is really not great, which is fine but led to a bit of miscommunication.

Massage itself is proper. Firm, and really working areas and getting knots out. very happy with that. Tempted to let my hands roam, knowing it is fine in a place like this, but I really don't want to be presumptive first time in a place, first time with a girl. So I behave myself.

The turn... Amy asks if I have been here before. Now, I can hear you all shouting at me; 'yes, many times' is the correct response!!. Call me old fashioned, but I just tell the truth whenever possible. So I say, 'first time in this place' but I then say ' I have ready many good reviews' - trying very much to make it clear that I know what goes down in a place like this. Unfortunately, all my slightly strange behaviour (to her eyes) and everything that has led to this point has led Amy to the conclusion I am an innocent here for a legit massage so she says 'just a massage today' - not in the sense of of apparently trying to upsell anything - more as a confirmatory. So I obviously enquire what else is available. This where her not great English doesn't help - and who knows - maybe she's suddenly freaking out that I'm a cop or something. What I am after is B2B and I say as much - actually using that acronym and she looks at me blankly. so I clarify with 'Body to Body' and she chuckles once she twigs what I was saying. And I offer £60. And again, language is proving a barrier but she basically says words to the effect - maybe just a HJ for this time and see how you get on - like I need to start out in the kiddy pool before being allowed with grown ups! Either that or she just didn't want to get naked with me. I think that was not it - I'm friendly and relaxed and not unpleasant to look at (not that that even matters - but even if she was picky, I'm not a massive turn-off). I suspect from her perspective my behaviour just did not fit typical punter pattern so maybe she is just wary or confused!

Anyway...I am certainly not going to be pushy or rude- I take what is offered and she does a good job with the sensual stuff, takes good instruction. At this point, I feel like I am least entitled to put my hand on her bum as she is jacking me off - and she's fine with that. All fine on that front - good technique to conclusion. But I am frustrated at myself - she should be naked, me copping a nice feel - but she's not even topless. But totally on me for us to have ended up in a slightly confusing mess! She cleans the oil off me, and I get dressed and pay her. I ask how much I owe her, she having downgraded my B2B to HJ, but she has anchored to the £60 - and I'm not going to be a dick about it on this occasion.

So a slightly comedic outing. Having got the first 'massage shop walk-in' in the bag, I'll be more confident and clear next time! Some will wonder how this is not neutral or negative, but given previous favourable reviews, I'm taking responsibility for the sub-par components.

Sounds like a rum deal for you and this time of the year too.

With this place I've always gone and asked who's working that day, they say names and I say "Oh, not seen her before", usually by this point the girls who are free just present themselves.  Sometimes the receptionist shouts them,

In terms of the HJ, I don't think it's rude or pushy when laid back and it's commenced IF the language barrier has prevented it from being discussed to lightly pull at the front of the top and gesture what you want.  Invariably negotiations commence (not ideal) and the top is either removed or stays on.  I've occasionally had "You should have said you wanted topless earlier" but I've never had anyone offended or refuse much, largely as I say because you're more gesturing what you want rather than actually removing her top.

Thanks for first review  :drinks:

Never mention reviews, doing so means that the girls are on guard about threats of bad reviews and bargaining for more than what's on the menu, just lumps you in the wrong pool of pervert.

Being overly coy usually gets the girls over-quoting or avoiding much beyond a tug, setting your negotiations back unnecessarily.

Always afffirm you've been before, perhaps more than a few months back. Quote a reasonable offer for service, within what intel, that you don't divulge, says has been accepted before.  No need to insult with a lowball but also no need to suggest stupid money over the odds because you pecker hasn't touched a woman since the war.  If the girl demands too much just say "thanks but nevermind, please continue with massage" let her stew. Worse comes to worst you either have to go elsewhere for satisfaction or if you are a regular there and mamasan values you, you can try a different girl, assuming you're not frequenting a bunch of mercs you should've binned long ago.

Similar to what Sparkus suggests a light raising of the hem of a skirt or top along with "please" is enough to convey preference without offence. I might precede this with caressing over clothes of rump, back, side boob or full chebbage depending on lass being receptive.

I'm thinking really hard but I can't recall a single time I've been rebuffed doing that, it's either been "You need to pay more" or "Why didn't you say so!"

One time (in bandcamp etc) earlier in my FBSM career I had my hand pushed away from a clothed cheb during a HJ then bizarrely after I'd cum she gave me OWO (and told me to keep that to myself, shop owner doesn't approve etc.)

Great review for a first time but sorry about your experience with Amy. No doubt this has accelerated you up the learning curve !

I have been bitten a number of times and it is both frustrating and a waste of money. So I now always ask to see the masseuse before I
pay my massage fee and at the outset of the session, before getting undressed, ask the masseuse if she provides the extra services I want and agree the price.
If the answer is "no" then I walk back to reception and ask for my massage fee to be refunded. This approach almost always works if you have done the
necessary research on this site as to what is most likely to be  on offer.

Better luck next time !
