A short term arrangment in Hong Kong Part I
I've never had a long term arrangement but I've had several relationships with escorts that went beyond the typical encounter of an hour or two. Each one was unique in terms of how long it lasted, how much I paid (or didn't pay) and what activities we enjoyed together beyond the realm of sex. Here's a story of one such short term "arrangement."
Hong Kong is a crowded, confusing and chaotic city. It is also beautiful, dynamic and fascinating. It's one of my favorite cities. Including my 2016 five-day stopover in Hong Kong, I have been there twice and I would gladly return.
Though modern-day communist Mandarins in Beijing now exercise ultimate authority over the city and there is no real political freedom for the residents, a visitor to Hong Kong can still feel like he is in a relatively free place. Police presence is minimal, commerce proceeds all day and night at a lively pace and some bars stay open all night (I don't think there is a legally required closing time).
Another realm of life in Hong Kong where a significant degree of liberty has always flourished is the sex business. Prostitution is legal in Hong, though there are restrictions on soliciting, "living off the avails" and brothels. Based on the current legal regime, tradition and the tolerance limits of the authorities and the public, these days there are three main kinds of venues where a gentleman can satisfy his feelings of lust in the city known as "the pearl of the Orient." These are: massage parlors that offer both happy endings and full service; the walk-up apartment buildings full of one-woman brothels and the "nightclubs" (what I would call "takeout" bars) located mainly in the Wan Chai district of Hong Kong Island.
Thanks to the very helpful reports posted on ISG by both residents and visitors (
Un grand Merci a vous!), I arrived in Hong Kong armed with excellent intelligence about the local scene. I decided to focus my efforts on
the bars of Wan Chai, a location made famous by the book and movie
"The World of Suzie Wong." On my previous trip to Hong Kong in 1998, I had visited this district and found that it was an enjoyable place for a single man to pass the time. However, due to various circumstances, I never took advantage of any of the ladies who plied their trade there. I was determined that on my return to Hong Kong, I would do so.
I landed in Hong Kong's very modern and efficient airport in mid-morning and rode the express train into the city. I jumped in a taxi at the Hong Kong station and after a short ride I was dropped off at my hotel, the
OZO Wesley, a comfortable mid-range hotel that is a short walk from the Wan Chai "nightclub" district. I got settled in my room and went out for a walk and to a late lunch. By late afternoon I was tired from my trip and walking around so I wasn't sure whether I would go out the first night. But it was Friday and I knew that I would have to go out to at least scout out the scene. So after resting a bit and getting some dinner I headed out. However, I didn't want to have a late night because I had planned some things for Saturday. I wasn't intent on bringing anyone back to the hotel that first night but I was open to the possibility.
In all there are about a dozen takeout nightclubs in a compact two by three block area. Sprinkled among these clubs are some regular bars and clubs that cater to a regular crowd of guys and girls not involved in the sex business. Even the business of the takeout nightclubs doesn't seem to depend solely on the presence of working girls. I think the working girls and their potential clients take over certain clubs at most times but not always. According to what I have read and seen, it's an ever-changing scene.
According to some guys who have frequented these clubs over a long time, the Wan Chai nightclub scene has been in decline for a long time. Maybe so. It's true that clubs have come and gone over the years and the area does seem to be becoming more gentrified, but my impression was that the scene is still thriving. It might be better or worse depending on the time of year, the day of the week and lots of other factors, but on the nights that I visited the clubs, there seemed to be no shortage of either working girls or potential clients.
Most of the clubs have certain features in common, such as a basement location, a dark interior, a big bar, a small dance floor and a Filipino rock cover band whose musicians and female singer may or may not be talented. Some clubs are dominated by girls from a certain ethnic groups such as Filipinas, Vietnamese, Thais, Chinese or Indonesians. Some clubs may have a mix of girls from two or more groups. A lot of the potential clients are Western men but there are Asians too.
My first stop was the current incarnation of the famous Neptune Club, Neptune III (
http://neptune3disco.com/) If I recall correctly, I visited the original Neptune (also Joe Banana's) on my previous visit. I also stopped in to Escape and New Makati. On entering each club I was not asked to pay a cover charge or told that there was a drink minimum. I purchased bottled water in two of the three clubs but nothing in New Makati. I talked briefly with a few girls in each of the clubs but things never progressed to the point of negotiating a deal. As it turned out, I was just too tired from my travels and I decided that the wise course of action was to use the first night as a scouting trip and make a tactical retreat back to my nearby hotel room to get a good night's sleep.
Nevertheless I decided that I liked the Wan Chai nightclub business model. As in a German FKK, you can spend time scoping out the scene, chatting with girls and trying to find one that pleases you in looks and personality. All the girls speak English to one degree or another, at least enough to negotiate a business deal. As a group, the Filipina girls are easily the most fluent English speakers and other than them it depends on the individual girl. Unlike the girls in a German FKK, the girls are of course wearing clothes, usually something sexy but tasteful. They don't necessarily look like working girls, just girls out on the town for the evening.
I spent the next day exploring the city and doing a little shopping. If you're interested in watches, you should visit Hong Kong because it is the world retail capital of watches-not fake ones but the real thing. No other city has so many watch stores offering such a variety of brands, type and price levels. But I got back to my hotel in mid afternoon and relaxed for a while in preparation for another evening in Wan Chai.
I had some plans for the next day so I didn't want to spend much time in the bars that night. I wanted to find a woman who suited my tastes and take her back to the hotel at a reasonable hour.
I decided to head first to a recommended club that I had not checked out the night before,
Hong Kong Cafe.
I was feeling more rested than the previous night so I was determined that I would do my best to find a lady to take back to my hotel. I sat down by myself at on corner of the bar away from the band and ordered my usual bottle of water. I sat there for a short time watching the passing parade of girls but none of them really caught my eye. I was looking in the direction of the band and I didn't notice at first that someone had sat down to my right. I turned to look at who was there and I saw a woman with a very attractive face wearing a tight fitting long dress with a plunging neckline that revealed her ample cleavage. She had long beautiful black hair with golden brown highlights. Her makeup was expertly applied and nicely highlighted her attractive features. She was obviously older than many of the girls in the bar, but I loved her look right away-a beautiful, voluptuous Asian MILF.
I smiled at her and introduced myself. She called herself "Bee" and told me she was from Thailand, a fact that I had already guessed by her look. We chatted for a few minutes and I offered to buy her a drink. She ordered some mixed drink and I noticed the bartender marked down something on a sheet of paper. As I had read, part of the game in these bars is for the ladies to get guys to buy them a drink. I didn't mind because the drink cost about only about HK$80 (about US$10). I wanted to get to know her and show my interest in her so buying her a drink only seemed fair. If you're going to go to these clubs, you have to play by the rules.
I hadn't entered the club looking for a certain type of woman but as soon as I found Bee, I knew that she was the one that I wanted to take back to my hotel. Bee told me she was 37 and later when I got to know her better she confessed that she was really 42. I didn't care-I was attracted to her and I thought her maturity could be an asset. And I can't resist a women with a pretty face and ample cleavage no matter what her age. If she has the right look and she is also closer in age to me then her maturity is usually an asset because there is a better chance that I will connect with her on more than just a sexual level.
I wanted to make it an early night and it was already past 10PM so I suggested that we talk business. Bee's English is good but not perfect so she apparently wasn't sure of my intentions. She responded to my suggestion that we "talk business" by asking me if I understood clearly what she was doing here that night. Hmm, did I look so naive to her that I didn't understand the nature of the business being carried on in the Hong Kong Cafe? I found her response endearing and a possible indication that she was not a full-time pro. It turned out she really wasn't-at least I don't think so, but I don't know for sure. As she later explained, she was on a two-week trip from her native Thailand to HK . I assumed that her mission was to make some easy money (significantly more than she could make in Thailand as a working girl of her age) and spend some of it in the shopping mecca of Hong Kong.
Anyway, once we both understood clearly what our intentions were, I offered her HK$1000 (US$130) to go back to my room with me. She countered with $1500 (US$195) and I proposed that I could pay that much if she would stay with me at least two hours. She agreed and so we headed out. It was a short walk to my hotel but in hindsight maybe we should have taken a cab because she was wearing a pretty silky looking dress and heels that weren't at all suited to negotiating the busy sidewalks and streets of Wan Chai. But it was a pleasure to walk such a sexy, well dressed woman back to my hotel. It was also nice to be in a place where we didn't attract stares from disapproving strangers. In that part of Hong Kong, we were a perfectly normal couple.
Once back at my room Dee proceeded to confirm the good feelings that I had felt about her when I first met her. She has all the good traits that make Thai women among the most desirable in the world. She has a sweet, gentle easy-going personality but she became a tigress once we became intimate with each other. She kissed enthusiastically, made love energetically and gave me a nice massage after we had expended our sexual energy. After the massage she lay next to me and we talked for quite a while and got to know each other. Her English was good enough that we could have a nice conversation. She stayed well beyond our agreed upon two hour date and I finally had to reluctantly suggest that it was time for me to get some sleep, since I had some plans for the next day.
She said that she would like to see me again and I felt the same towards her. We exchanged contact info on WhatsApp and I asked her about the possibility of an overnight stay. She said she would be happy to do so. I wasn't sure what to offer her but I had the feeling that she found my hotel room, bed and company to be preferable to whatever temporary living arrangements she had during her sojourn in Hong Kong. I proposed HK$2000 (about $260 US) and she said OK. The price was a bargain compared to what I had just paid her for about 3 hours of her time. She probably would have stayed over that night but I needed to get up early the next morning. We agreed to get in touch with each other on the day after tomorrow.
For my part, every minute I spend with this younger woman is a joy to me. That I can share my good fortune with her to improve her quality of life just makes it even better.
