What's the story with these places?  I went to one tonight in Atlanta (it was advertized in the adult section of a local freebie paper) and got a decently sensual massage, but no HJ or any genital touching at all.

I've never been to one before, so I didn't really know what to expect, but I thought I'd get more than what I did.  I even asked nicely "is that all" and pushed it a bit to say "Are you sure you don't provide any other services?" and she got semi-offended.

What is typical at these oriental spa places?  Should I just try another one?

I have been wondering about these myself.  There are stories out there similar to yours but then there are great stories going the other way.  I look forward to responses here to maybe sort this out.  There must be a routine you and others are missing if those experienced at this are doin so well.  I have read the web site devoted to AMPs (do not remember address but in earlier string I believe) and am certainly willing to listen to whomever else is willing to contribute.

I believe this is the link you are referring to. Sorry, can't help with the rest. I've never been to one.

I would make at least one return visit and see if they get friendlier. Assuming you are in the right type of place, you just need to crack their code.    

It is sort of a ritual, those who have been there usually pay everything up front, otherwise you have to go through a delay while you negotiate, get the money, and she takes the money to the back at a time you don't want her to leave.

Here is a simple suggestion.
