If you are going to an independent provider or honestly an AMP, and you want to call or text for some reason, always use a VOIP phone number! Google Number is free! This keeps you safe, and keeps them from threatening you to give them money! IF you get caught, shut the fuck up, and ask for a lawyer, do not talk without a lawyer present! Know your constitutional rights!

Q: How do I find a place?
Use your judgement. There’s no 100% guarantee. Look for the signs; Is it in a weird part of town? Is the name of the place generic? Are the masseuses wearing short dresses when you walk in?
Examples of generic names;
Sun/Zen/Happy/Oriental/Jade/Gold + Spa/Massage
If it’s a legit business, they will usually have more professional sounding names and licensed staff.
Note: You don’t need online resources to find a spot. Sure, it can give you an idea, but almost half of places aren’t listed. Take a drive around town and you’ll likely find some spots. The strip mall you visited for a haircut a million times probably has a massage spot you never noticed. Sometimes it’s more fun to find one on your own.

Q: When is the best time to go?
There is no definitive answer to this. Every parlor is unique in their own way.

Some things to consider are location, services offered and the MT’s themselves.

Some Parlors may have older MT’s that open and bring the younger ones in the evening. Some parlors may be in locations that have heavy foot traffic later in the day and you don’t want the attention. Lunch time crowds or shopping centers can get busy. Some Full Service parlors are busy from open to close. Of course, some of this is not always true.

If you want clean sheets and a fresh MT, then mornings is the best.

Q: I’m nervous and anxious about entering and exiting these types of places, what can I do about it?
If you experience paranoia and are hesitant about entering a parlor/spa be assured that no one is actually watching you and people are caught up in their own business. Enter with confidence like how you go into a grocery store or a barber shop. The only thing to look out for upon entering a spot is possible LE. If you observe a high presence of LE vehicles around the location or even in the parking lot, best avoid the location for the time being. Apart from LE presence, you have nothing to worry about when entering and leaving a spot. Some locations do have a back entrance/exit for more discretion and to help avoid unwanted attention from neighboring businesses/residents. If a back door is available, that is the more discreet option.

Q: How do I pick a masseuse/can I pick a masseuse/see a “line up”?
Usually when it comes to HE spots, you cannot choose a masseuse. The woman that greets you when you come in usually is the one that will be with you in the room, usually. If mamasan comes to greet you, you can always tell her your preferences and what you are looking for, and she may try her best to accomodate your preference. In uncommon cases, when you walk in they may use a good looking woman in the front and once you get to your room an older not as attractive woman may come in. This is a worst case scenario. Another case may be you see an attractive woman in the front to greet you and a different attractive woman may end up being with you in the room. It all depends, these are just a few possible outcomes that will happen. But usually you don’t get to see everyone first or choose, usually you get who greets you in front first. The only way you choose is if you specifically request someone by name.

In FS spots it’s more possible to choose depending on the location.

Q: How do I ask for a HE?
Ask with your body language. When she tells you to get ready for the massage, get completely naked. If she carelessly brushes her legs by your hand, give them a touch. If she starts massaging toward your butt/balls area, arch your ass up or let out a sigh or enjoyment. During the turn, if you showed proper signs, she’ll normally gesture if you want a HE or just start doing it on her own.

Q: How many visits does it take to get a HE?
If you give the proper signs, it should only take one.

Q: Will the masseuses do XYZ?
We don’t know. Every place is different. If she already offered a HE, just ask.

Q: I’m worried about LE/What do I do if caught during a sting operation?
Thousands of men visit these places every day without issue. Many of us in this sub have gone 20-30 times. If you are unlucky to be at a place during a sting, just explain you were getting a massage. There is nothing illegal about getting a massage. Unless they caught you in the act, not much they can do without proof. If they want to further question you, ask for a lawyer. It’s rare that anyone actually gets charges from these places.

Q: Can I get an STD from these places?
Most masseuses frequently practice cleanliness. It is very unlikely to get an STD from just a HE alone and there isn’t much data available to suggest it’s possible. Anything else, proceed at your own risk.
People on this sub are not likely qualified to give medical advice, nor do they know the details of your encounter. Your best bet is to research these things yourself or contact your local health department.

Q: What’s difference between 30/60 minute massages?
30 minutes is standard. 60 is a more dedicated massage experience usually. You can still get a HE from either.

Q: Can I still participate at these places if I’m a bigger guy?
Yes. They don’t care about weight. Mainly money.

Q: I’m a younger guy in my early 20s. How do I avoid getting turned away?
Unfortunately due to experience, some places might turn you away based on age. Main thing you can do is be respectful, and if rejected, find a different spot. Or if you want to give it a shot, you can just tell them you are older than your true age.

Q: Should I bring a condom?
If it’s an FS place, they should provide one.
Some places will let you bring your own.

Q: I found a girl on x dating site/social media offering massage + HE. Is this a scam?
Yes. This is a widespread scam. They’ll ask you for a $5 deposit and then ghost you, since most people don’t care about losing $5. Massages never require any type of deposit.

Q: Is rubmaps legit?
It can be a hit or miss. It can help with direction, but isn’t 100%. Again, you don’t need to rely on internet sources to find a place. If you want to use rubmaps, go for it. If you’re worried about using your credit card, buy a preloaded one from Target.

Q: What is a four hands massage? Is it worth it?
Four hands is when two masseuses give you a massage at once. Whether or not four hands is worth it ultimately depends on your budget because you will pay 2x the room fee and you will spend 2x the tip. If it is worth it to you, it is recommended you go to an amp you’ve already frequented and see a provider you’re familiar with that has provided you good service in the past. Ask for a four hand massage that includes the provider you’re familiar with, this eliminates rolling the dice with two new providers.

Q: What is Nuru?
True nuru will require the provider to rub their naked body against your naked body using massage oil. It’s extremely unlikely a provider in an amp setting will want to cover themselves with oil as it would require them showering immediately afterwards, not to mention that not all amps have showers. It might be more likely to receive a nuru massage from an independent provider that advertises such service. The bottom line is you’ll have to research.

Q: Can women receive Happy Endings?
It’s not at all unheard of but it’s also not common. You may have to explicitly ask for what kind of extra service you’re after. If the provider denies your request it could be because they are not confident with their skills in providing that extra service to a woman, or perhaps they simply do not provide extra services to women. Trial and error will be the only way to find a provider that will accommodate your request but it is possible.

Q: Can I get a second pop?
A second pop is always available if you’re willing to tip more. It’s recommended you ask for a second pop with a provider you are familiar with to avoid paying 2x the tip. If it’s a provider you’re familiar with you can ask for a pop at the start and a pop at the end, and you can usually get away with paying less than 2x the tip.

Q: What is a table shower?
A table shower is essentially a shallow tub at table height in which clients can lay down while being cleansed with soap and water by the provider before the massage. Table showers are not available at every amp, if it is something you’re looking for it is best to call and ask. Depending on the amp, table shower service may be an extra charge - again, inquire in advance.

Q: What happens when it’s time to pop?
She’ll grab some warm oil, rub it all over your goods and may moan softly as she strokes. Here you can ask her to go slow, fast, etc. whatever works for you. As you bust, she should continue to stroke, moan softly and eventually slow down and giggle. Ideally they wipe you up with a paper towel first and with a hot towel second - so that you don’t have dry cum all over your groin. Once complete, she’ll spray some strong ass alcoholic hand sanitizer on her hands to clean up and exit the room, leaving you free to stand up and get dressed

Q: I was satisfied with the masseuse I got, how can I see her again/be a repeat client?
If you enjoyed your time with a particular masseuse, be sure to ask for her name. Often times women at these places use generic names (Yoyo, Coco, Cici, Yumi etc etc). Regardless, still ask her for her name and take note of it. If you want to ensure a future visit with her, ask her for her number, just in case she moves to another location as this may be a common occurence. If you have her number, you have the advantage of scheduling an appointment with her directly instead of asking for her through the business phone line. Sharing individual contact information with a masseuse is not guarenteed. Asking for her individual contact information is only a way to help secure future visits/appointments. If she obliges to your request, all the more power to you.

Last note: This hobby isn’t meant to be cheap. If you are tight on money, this might not be for you. Never go to these places without enough funds for what you want. Doing so is asking for trouble.

Q: So what do I do?

Start by texting the number and ask for a massage.
Don’t ask for nothing else other than a massage. They know why you’re texting.
They’ll ask you what city so they can get you close to one. Then set up your time.
When you’re on your way, text them to let them know.
When you arrive, text again. This is when they give you exact location, such as room number or apartment number.
When you go inside, do the pleasantries. No services should be discussed. Leave the amount on a dresser, undress and get in bed. They will initiate everything. All you need to do is enjoy.
