So I'm in Richmond, Va. on business and I'm in the mood for a massage and, at a minimum, standard release.  Only a few options in the first place but I settle on a location.  I enter, pay the fee and on my stomach.  Provider had good massage skills; brushed the boys and gave helluva glut massage which had me anticipating the flip.  
 
On the flip more teashing than massage then, are you ready, As she sees my member filling with blood she asks... "which hand would I like her to spray the oil?"  Huh!?!?  She notes that she can't but I can.  WTF!?!?    
 
Aaaahhhhh, my response was no thanks and settled in for her to complete the regular massage (with no extras); dressed and left.  Has this what the AMP world has come to...at least in smaller locals!?!?  WOW!  I was more amused than pissed and got a good laugh outta that one.............LMAO!!  

I've also noticed more AMPs at several locations acorss the country shying away from overtly offering HE.  Has someone sent a memo to the AMP world to curtail HE activities and/or make the HE portion of the massage a covert operation

Up in Canada of all places in a small town in Quebec, in fact.  
I ordered up a 2 hour session and was even earned by the madam it was DIY, but the price was right ($100), so I figured what the heck, and went ahead.  

The gal was not bad looking, sort of built like the proverbial brick shithouse, and I got a decent 45 minute massage. Then on the flip she handed me the bottle of lotion and I jerked off to watching her rub one out. I sort of liked it for the novelty if nothing else, but then it got better.  

Then it got more interesting.  

We chatted a bit and I tossed off a line, not thinking it would be taken too seriously, that I wish I could massage her. Well, she said she would like that too and before you know it, I was seated on her very ample and oily butt giving her a very sexy massage. I even thought about asking her to flip over and getting some DATY action as well as P2P action but I didn't want to overplay my hand. So I ended up coming on her ass crack and feeling like quite the lucky guy.  

To top it off, she finished out the last half hour with more decent massaging.  

I tossed her another 50 when we parted. She was one happy gal.  

This was back in the late '90s.  

So give it a shot. As Chuck Berry sang:  Goes to show you never can tell.

...the DIY capital of the world IMO.  
Over 100 AMPs but so many are full of "we don't do that here" or "I get in trouble" shit.

There are even "body rub" girls who get double or even triple the AMP rate and those girls generally don't know how to massage at all and some of them are making guys DIY. Not as much as at AMPs but it's really unbelievable.

The AMP situation has driven many "massage lovers" to the escorts where we trade the massage for the sex at 3-5 times the price. Very sad...

I found that the average escort delivers a better massage than most AMP places.

In fact, I found one escort who insisted that she had no idea how to give a massage but agreed to let me show her how by having me massage her.  Afterwards she gave a very credible (7 on a 1 to 10 scale) massage afterwards.  She delivered on the rest of the FS GFE session also.

I ought to go into the massage instruction business.

Its something so sexy about rubbing on someones member trying to make them explode.

I went to one in Richmond that got busted so they started offereing self service so they wouldn't get in trouble.

....were shy and completely unaware of how to please another woman. I did it, but I didn't like it. I could have stayed home and done that and saved the $40!

The funniest/creepiest result was a young cute masseuse who asked me to pleasure myself so that she could "learn". Well I started going at it and she hopped onto the table and leaned over with her face about 3 inches away from the honey pot. You'd think that it would have been sexy as hell......nope. She had a look of complete fascination and confusion that somehow managed to kill the sexual mood completely.

It seems (in Minnesota, at least) that there's a cartel of AMPs which are "legitimate" massage places. I have one AMP that I go to because the massage is absolutely outstanding! But there's another one I go to that gives me a happy ending. In both places the girls stay dressed the entire time. Seems to mostly be Chinese AMPs. If you can find a Korean AMP, it's more like I remember.

AMP in LA where the lady said she can't touch me, but I could touch myself.  I made her get real close and then rubbed one out while fondling her breasts.  Depressing.  Of course, never went back.  There are SO MANY places in LA where a BBBJ or HEHJ is performed without question that I cannot imagine frequenting a parlor where the standard is self-service.  As Lady Lopaw said, "I can do that at home" and use the $$ for a nice bottle of wine.....  Absurd.
