The “hobbyists” in the article sound creepy as f*ck.

the best part about these places is when when they tickle the taint. Has to be the best feeling in the world.

Why are the erotic ones always Asian? Or are there happy endings at massage parlors staffed with other ethnicities as well?

(I know nothing “firsthand” so to speak.)

im just getting into this, perhaps the local pros ohai and stud can enlighten us

Hmm, I don’t know. It’s probably because massage parlors are generally run by Asians, so it is natural that they are the ones that offer “extra services”.

I’m not sure why the massage parlors are run by Asians. Maybe it’s because Asians already have traditional massage. It’s also probably due to branding, as people already associate massage with yellow people. If I offer you “Indian massage”, not sure what you will expect. Probably, you walk into a dark room with 5 guys waiting.

The awkward moment is when you have to explain that you didn’t come there for “that.” I’ve learned to say “not today” as the more elegant way to slide out of that (assuming you want to).

Its true that of those who offered special treatment, very few were unusually good-looking, although I think there was only one who was downright ugly. I can’t say I’ve never been tempted, particularly if they are already halfway started when they ask, but at the end of the day, I think I’m just too cheap. It’s just awkward to negotiate a price in hushed whispers, and then you have no idea if they are any good at it. To nearly double the price of your massage for somone who yanks your junk like they were trying to extract a shovel stuck in the mud… …ugh, that’s got to be the worst experience… …and then you have to ask yourself “I paid for that??” And then, you can’t even complain! What do you say?? “Uh, Mr. Manager, my girl didn’t do my happy ending right, I want my money back!” I’ve come to the conclusion that - aside from the seediness [pun intended] - it’s just not a good risk/reward.

Though I’d imagine with enough cash, you can presumably get whatever race or nationality floats your boat, at least here in NY, and presumably those people will know what they’re doing and how to do it well.

it is true that most of the massage places I’ve seen (straight or seedy) are run by some flavor of Asians, usually Chinese, but sometimes Japanese, and sometimes Thai or Vietnamese. I did use a groupon at one place that was run by this kinda hippie California white surfer zen type, and my masseuse turned out to be Brazilian. When I lived in DC,my here was another place that was run by Western Europeans and also had a talkative Brazilian masseuse. These were all straight-up massages, with no secret extras as far as I could tell.

One place I went to on 14th street asked me as I went in if I wanted male or female, and then Chinese or Russian. I’ve never had a massage from a Russian massage professional, but given my experience with a Russian dentist who must have worked in FSB interrogations, I was a little afraid to choose that.

I just don’t get the appeal of happy endings. I’m pretty sure I can do a better job myself.

^this. Unless what you’re looking for is maximum laziness… :wink:
