Sorry I didn't see this before. They only quote regular rates for a massage. $80 for an hour. Less for a 1/2 hour. They ask you to shower which I think is strange so I declined and told them I showered before I came there which was true. Maybe there was some kind of shower service I missed out on? Anyway, I tipped another $80 but it wasn't negotiated or asked for. Maybe $50 would have been enough? I don't know but I've paid $125 for a massage at Massage Envy with no HE of course and tipped $20 so $160 for a damn good massage with a HE seemed pretty reasonable. I wasn't bold enough to ask for anything more than that and don't know if it's on the menu but I'll assume the right amount of money could buy more.
I've only gone there twice and the place is shut down now. I'm not looking for another one. The atmosphere there is very sketchy and of course it is illegal so there is that. Every once in a while I read where two or three of these Asian spa type businesses in town get busted the same day so their must be some kind of underground where people know where to find them and the cops allow it to a point until they decide to crack down. This one place I went to has been there for a few decades and always manages to not get busted so they must have the proper connections with the law. This is all my speculation.
It just doesn't seem to me like something that should be illegal when it's just a few extra minutes of an otherwise legal hands-on body service. But yeah, I get it, no woman wants their husband sneaking off for HJs in one of those places. I wouldn't want my wife, if I was married, going to a spa to get fingered either. If I was getting it at home there is no way I'd go there.
I know there are a few women here who always chime in loudly that men with great sex lives at home will still seek it outside the home just for variety but I doubt that's a universal truth. More the rare exception. Us men are pretty lazy when it comes to that. And cheap. When I was married and satisfied I would never have taken that step, even out of curiosity and I had opportunities. Not even during dry spells that I knew were temporary. If I thought the situation was hopeless and a sexless marriage was my only future, then I'd be highly tempted, even motivated but paying for HJs can't be anything but a very short-term relief. There is no future in it. There needs to be a more permanent change in circumstances. Just my opinion.
