Review: Cora Bella

General Details

Lake Merritt in Oakland is an older neighborhood full of ridiculous postwar apartments. You never know what stories are hiding in these buildings. Turns out one of them is Cora.

She's tall, athletic, toned, and all-natural. Every bit of her is taut in a wonderful way. But even better is her soulful and sympathetic attitude. She values making a connection, and every moment of the session was informed by her deep attention to me and to the shared mood we created. Our connection was immediate, either because we naturally get along or because she's truly adept at forging a bond and setting the right mood.

She was also very clear and straightforward about all the business details, checking limits for both of us, setting ground rules for both of us, and so forth. Note: Cora's web site's list of prices and services is a little confusing, and she's said she will revise it. I think TER hobbyists will be happiest with the "cupcake" session, which allows complete mutuality within limits. Discussing this was done in a professional and non-confrontational way and furthered the sense I was in very good hands.

Speaking of hands, Cora is also a licensed CMT and gives one hell of a massage, which is not to be taken lightly. The massage wasn't an afterthought as it so often can be, but a delicious and sensual prelude...
