Hello, a friend and I recently visited this spa on a recent trip to AZ (chosen based on the favorable reviews listed here and the fair ones on another site). I'm not new to the world of AMP's but it has been a while (18 years or so since I last visited one...marriage will do that to you :-) ), in the past frequented the old Miko Spa in Ohio).

At first, things looked hopeful. The masseuse was an attractive, slim asian woman around 30 to 35 of age. I paid via card, but left the tip field blank, telling the lady I'll tip later. Upon disrobing, I layed on the table (nude) and received a decent massage. During the massage, I had my eyes closed as I was quite relaxed. On the flip they remained closed and I told her it was relaxing. She did not touch or massage the area near my manhood. After a half hour, she told me "all done" and proceeded to leave the room. I was shocked!! I hinted that I was looking for a bit more, but she said seemed to become a bit flustered and then left. I remained there nude and she returned, where I again tipped her and she left (hinting again). Not at all what I was expecting.

So...where did we go wrong? My friend wondered if since we came in together, she thought we may have been LE. I'm wondering if my keeping my eyes closed and not attempting to touch her misled her into what I was hoping for. Was it perhaps just mis-communication about the tip (her English wasn't very good)? Either way, a bit of a let down and quite different from my prior experience.

So, turning to the wisdom of the group...was it our approach that went astray or was she spooked? (My friend likewise received no extra...).

Before I start, allow me to make the disclaimer that I am no expert, but based on my experiences, your guesses are pretty dead on.

A couple of fellas going together to a shop isn't a deal breaker, but it certainly would raise the hackles on your average nervous RA, especially if there are other red flags waving.

Entrapment is a constant worry, so your provider wouldn't make any effort unless you make your intentions clear. I'd read a few more reviews and get a feel for what guys do and don't to make sure their wants are being understood. Every guy has his own methods, but lying flat with your eyes shut is probably not one of them. I favor a big smile and a flirty hug walking in the door. Being friendly doesn't hurt anybody and sets the right tone. Complimenting an RA's figure, hair, conditioning, etc. is all good with no downside. Talking about other shops in the area, even if I'm BS'ing also opens the door to leading conversations.

As far as the tip goes, Cash is King in this world. Consider that if the girl isn't the owner, she has to wait on her boss to get around to giving her the cash. Is that likely to happen? Maybe, but my guess is she'd rather have the loot in hand - especially when she's risking arrest. I only paid with a card once, very early on in my mongering career. The place gets busted with a NFL player in it the next day. Somewhere, my name is in an evidence box... Lesson learned: The less of a trail you leave, the better off you are.

Hope that helps. Be careful out there.
