I started out mostly by visiting MPs, and still go to them on occasion, so I have a soft spot in my heart for them.

I have found some wonderful providers at MPs with whom I've spent many, many years and also still enjoy a lovely massage and HJ, which are underrated and very affordable.

There are down sides and risks with them too, but overall I've always loved MPs.

Well, for Pete's sake! What took ya so long!

Oops, sorry about that. Still getting my bearing from being on the P&R board too long, and having my mind on issues like birth certificates!

Just joking! I will be perusing this board for good tips and advice.

Thanks for being our moderator!

I also got my hobby start in massage parlors, most notably

on Broadway in San Diego during the 70's. Got to see a separate board for these dens of pleasure.

I didn't get my start at massage parlors, but lately have used a couple in a nearby city.  I reside in a city that is not provider friendly, and there are virtually no advertisements for them in my area.  Because of the lack of travel in my schedule I decided to give them a try.  It has been an okay experience, but I have found it is as expensive if not more, and the service is not quite as good.  The other drawback is she has to be somewhat quiet, and the table isn't near as comfortable as a bed.  I will still use them on occasion, but I do prefer the comforts of a hotel.
