I never really understood the point of Massage Parlor... Those peoples working there are most than not just regular girls with no special skills in massage or diploma etc. If you want a real massage, there is places for that wich don't involve sexuality. Then if you want sex, you can call an agency...
The only point i see to massage parlors are for lowballers... peoples satisfied with just a "happy finish" and that want to keep it under 120$ or such...
Honestly i feel you get much more mileage for your money seeing a GFE escort... rather than paying "a la carte"
As for newspaper ads... as someone said yeah we are in 2017... who needs that lol
This thread originated as a lamenting of the massage scene in Montreal, and I refer to Bushleague's points which are well articulated.
I will add however :eyebrows:
Could be seasonal, or cyclical, but everything evolves, whether we want it to or not. For those, like me, that have been active in the MP ecosystem here in Montreal for a long time, >15 years, perhaps it once felt more open, untamed and that held a particularly strong allure. Or maybe we were just younger, naive and more easily impressed. I agree that there are more crappy parlours that employ crappy attendants "with no special skills". There is a reason for this proliferation and that reason is, essentially, us. If we pay for that shit then expect to see more of the same. I wouldn't go so far as to label anyone "lowballers". If they get what they want at the price they want then who is to judge?? $220 for an incall with a stunning sex-bomb is a great thing! $100 for a massage and finish is also a great thing!
Your
definition of 'mileage' may also vary. It's all about expectations. Don't heave your own upon all others who read this forum.
As for this forum, yes, lately it bemoans the swindlers, the bait-and-switch, the rancid hygiene, the clock-watchers, the mechanical finishers . . .and so on. Doesn't mean the industry's gone to shit, just the reporting of it. I for one don't mind at all hearing about the places to avoid. Reviews here (and PMs) have saved me small fortunes. Please also understand, that this board (with the same handful of advertisers, and the same repetitive reviews of the standard top 20 SPs) does not in any way represent the vast ocean of what is actually available. MERB is a narrow window on the scene, not meant to be the "users manual" for hobbying, but a place to convene, respectfully
share and maybe/hopefully influence the direction this community takes going forward.
