Never visited an AMP.
Have the questions though of seeing another customer in the parlor that you don't want to see SURPRISE!
and the security of your personal items- extra money cell phone and credit cards when you are in session.

although I do know of one old time place where men still wait in the front in full view of each other.  I only go there during very slow times, like weekend afternoons.

As for your valuables, don't bring anything like you wallet, etc. to the place.  Lock those up in the car.

I remember one place that had lockers and keys, but that is an exception.

Put as much cash as you are willing to spend in your pocket, and that's it.

Almost every AMP I've ever been to makes a concerted effort to avoid having clients see each other. They literally hold you in the room or shower area until 'the coast is clear'.  Once in awhile you do see another guy moving thru the hallway, guided by his masseuse. But it's rare, and most guys will avoid any eye contact anyway (they don't want to be recognized any more then you do!).

The one exception was up in Toronto, where there was a waiting room with 3 or 4 other guys, all looking at magazines or the TV - kind of like a Doctor's office. It was a little strange, but it was the same both nights I went. I can only think that maybe Canadians are less hung up on going to MPs then we are. Plus the girls were knockouts, which might attest to it's popularity.

As far as security, I have never had a problem. Many places have lockers that have locks, and you keep the key with you.  If you're going to a place for the 1st time it might be wise to leave behind everything but your keys & money needed for the house fee & tip.  But I have literally gone to a MP with a wallet loaded with cash and never had anything taken.  I think they know the word would spread quickly if they were stealing from you.

Of course you can avoid all these worries by finding an Indie in your area.

Hmm...
I live in the city and get around by taxi's.
Can leave them in office but thats a pain making me have to go back  afterwards.
Need keys though.

Most girls seem to go out of their way to make sure that you do not run into another customer. It doesn't bother me, but I guess it helps add to the fantasy that you are the only one.

I only take my cash and keys. What else do you need. That being said, at any AMP that I frequent I trust the girls with any thing that I may bring in. I do carry some items that should never be left unattended and always lock them up in my car. I have never noticed any of my things being moved. If you go to a place that is very busy, I would be more concerned with another customer robbing me than a spa girl.

Just see Indies.
Most don't request tips and that way you know where your things are at all times and the chances of running into another gentleman are very very rare.

Another great thing about Indies is
you don't have to through the mamasen
to get the girl you want
We're all ready and waiting for you.
In Canada they view massage parlors way differently I'm guessing that if its behind closed doors its not problem.

I agree with that 100%!  I much, much prefer indies, and in fact I will be spending some quality time with one of my favs next week - we're going to a resort together!

But it's hard to find indies outside of the big cities. AMPS are so common now, I have even seen them in some small rural towns! If you travel around the hinterlands as I do they are often the only option.

I totally agree.  Indies are my first option always!  I have had the best time with them by far, and will always seek them out.  But they can be hard to find outside the major metro areas.  So that is when I go to an AMP. They can be found in small towns around the country. And in my biz I go to a lot of small towns in addition to the big cities.

I have to say that Canada rocks! Much healthier attitude about sex.  I have had some awesome times with our neighbors to the north. I think that MPs are quasi-legal in Ontario. Basically it seems that as long as there is no FS going on they are left alone, at least in the Toronto area.  Last time I was up there, about 4 years ago, there were dozens of MPs out near the airport, where I was staying. And every one I went to offered a variety of girls, not just asians.

That was the one time I didn't bother looking for an indie - it was just so easy to go to an MP.

don't give a cut of HER/YOUR money to a madame or pimp.

I'm originally from there and worked at a few AMP's.
I agree people are a bit nicer
