The reality of happy ending massage parlours (from someone who's worked in one)

[JenniZinc]

Interesting, I was in Sydney (Australia) earlier this week and in a shopping centre was the usual Asian massage venue. Most of these types are generally legit (no need for tissue paper ) but this particular one was staffed by a rather loud receptionist who wasn't one for much discretion. I could clearly hear the discussion between her and the poor client who was trying to keep things on the down-low, being asked to pay ($70 plus $50 for extra services, and you can't pay by credit card for the extra services because this goes to the girl).

These shopping centres are the heart of a community filled with locals and passer-by's who are sure to know someone that knows someone. I'm guessing he'll be frequenting a more out of the way venue next time!

In my bio I describe myself as being a housewife with a "past". I confess I actually signed up to Literotica after Googling the topic of happy endings for women, and came across a thread that I felt didn't quite do the subject justice.

My past goes back 22 years, when I left a reputable job as a massage therapist and beautician, to join the dark side on ‘the circuit’ (parlour).

Why? Money. If you know what you’re doing and are good at what you do there's plenty to earn. If you're crap, your earnings are in line with that.

In my nine and a bit years I bought an apartment in Melbourne Australia, paid it off in full, and purchased a 20 acre farm with a minimum mortgage. So, I consider myself very good at it.

In Australia it’s not widely known that parlours are usually Asian or Russian (or some other Eastern European) owned. As an Anglo-Saxon white girl I worked on the Russian side. Despite what you may see on TV, I found the Russian bosses to be very fair and reasonable, provided I was flexible.

There’s no straight formula, but the house will usually get 50-75% of the base (what a customer pays when they first enter, and it’s always upfront). Adjusting slightly for inflation, I would earn around $38 of the $75 paid by the customer. Not much for an hour’s work. But I got to keep 100% of the tips, which would be usually $50, sometimes more, but not often.

Obviously the $50 was for the final rub & tug - masturbation. Although I was a qualified masseuse, the ending was pretty much what customers were there for. On the odd occasion where a customer didn’t want to be finished off, or was just there for an actual (God forbid) massage, I was pretty much screwed.

It could get worse. On a quiet period, the house could put a sign out the front for $25 off. Guess who funded that $25 ……. In full! So, if I got a ‘legit’ customer, I could work the full hour for nothing.

It’s usually assumed that we would up our income by offering additional services such as the obvious oral, vaginal or anal. No way - firstly because it was against house rules, and everything was filmed. Bet you didn’t know that!

Why did the house care so much? Motorcycle gangs and other protection rackets tend to leave massage parlours alone. There’s just not enough money in them. Brothels are a different story, and word travels fast. That’s why hidden cameras get installed, simply to keep the girls (and some guys) in line.

If you're reading this and getting nervous about your previous visits, don't be. I can only speak for the parlour I worked in, but in Australia recording without consent is illegal. The business isn't planning to make money by uploading your ejaculation to PornHub

So, then how did this tale of woe become lucrative? It’s simple ….. hours don’t have to be 60 minutes. As a parlour girl, it’s in your interest to dispose of a customer as fast as possible. Sperm is money, and the faster the better.

If I can dispose of a customer in 40 minutes, I’m increased my earning time by a third. Once you get the experience, 30 minutes is possible, even 20. Why would a customer pay for 60 minutes and leave in 20? Remember the purpose behind the visit. Many men sneak out of work, or are in a different city on business. They want to cum, and after it's over they'll make every excuse to get out, even apologising!

The better you get at disposals, the more walk-ins get allocated to you, and you can even negotiate a better fee with the house.

The subject everyone wants to know about, women customers.

As a straight woman I will still always prefer massaging a female body. They’re smaller and smoother. Most women who entered our doors knew we were not a totally reputable venue, but that’s not to say most were there for sexual extras. Many just liked to have a massage without their undies on, and have their breasts massaged. Licensed massage therapists will never do this.

The problem with women customers is that an hour is actually an hour, plus time for small talk, getting prepared and getting dressed again. A woman walks through the door and the masseuses scatter! Taking on a woman customer generally means earning less money.

Did women ever want happy endings? Yes, regularly. Some were lesbian or bi. Some just wanted the empowering (I'm so woke) experience of being touched by another woman …. After which they would run off and tell their friends, producing more income reducing customers.

To women reading this, I’ll frame this in a way that will make sense. If you picture a woman getting a happy ending, you probably think of me stimulating their clitoris with my fingers. Then consider this, when you masturbate do you use your fingers or a vibrator of some type?

The reality is vibrators, yet for some reason the female customer expects that a parlour girl has a magic ability to know a body well enough to produce an orgasm with her fingers. It just doesn’t happen.

Although female customers took the full hour, as I moved into my 40’s, I would get picked less and less by males. I managed to build up a solid base of regular women, but I had to lay down three solid rules.

First was to please respect my time, with an hour starting the second they entered the room and finishing with the door closing.

Second was that if they wanted ‘release’ they would need to bring their own clitoral (not penetrative) vibrator. In those days, cordless vibes didn’t work well, so they would need a smaller magic want style that could be discreet enough to fit in a handbag.

Third rule was that tips applied. I found woman to have a reluctance to paying the extra, with the view that it’s 10 minutes of massage and should be included for free.

By 2010 I had seen enough sperm, pulled apart enough labias and earned enough money to have a new lifestyle on the farm with my partner. No, he’s not a former customer and yes he does know about my previous job.

To happy ending customers, some pieces of advice.

Firstly, don’t always go for the pretty or sexy girls - I describe myself as plain and chubby, but back then I was plain and average. I would get picked last, but had a very good return of clients due to my massage technique.

Next, to males only. We always had 1-2 male masseurs who were there for guys only. Few of them were gay, but this was the only way they could make a living. If you want to be massaged by a male, just say it - nobody’s going to judge you, think you’re gay or whatever. Straight men I know have told me the best orgasms they've had was from a male. I would never have admitted this in my working days

Next, orgasm is a goal, not a right. Sometimes it doesn’t work, male or female. It’s not our fault, we try our best. Think very carefully before causing a vocal scene, it may not be in your interest.

Lastly, wipe your butts. Believe it or not females are the worst offenders, but if you’re having a massage, jump into the toilet, grab some paper and wipe your bottom. Remember, I can see absolutely everything!

Hopefully I haven’t inspired a wave of massage aspirants. It’s well paying but not something I would recommend to my daughter (if I had one)

Since accepting money for illegal sex work is essentially a form of prostitution, you basically only worked as a whore and engaged in criminal activity for 9 plus years. Such a pillar of society........oh yeah, and the seriously slanderous remarks you made about me elsewhere in these forums are LIES.

Interesting - a previous thread showed your comment extremely positive towards the sex work industry and I quote:

"I commend your spirit and appreciate your willingness to be straightforward in telling us like it is without trying to sugarcoat or dodge anything. That's solid and my Respects to you!"

More evidence that you will change your mind depending on the topic and who you're trying to impress (least of all Literotica admin when they deleted your last thread)

In terms of LIES (all CAPS, wow), your post did explain in detail your grooming of your step daughter who had been in your care since the age of 4 - and when she was of college age, your behaviour was perfectly okay, according to you, because she isn't a blood relation. You received almost all negative backlash and your post was deleted. You now seem to have an obsession with me. Hate to tell you that having been in the sex industry for some time, it certainly gives me enough mental strength to call out sleazy creeps that target children.

 

[Rachel7788]

And who doesn't shower before a massage? I shower right before I do anything that might involve nudity or closeness, including doctor appointments, eye exams, dentists. and haircuts. I'm the best smelling client they get all day.

Me too!

I had that exact same reaction.

 

[Vetbod]

You know I've often thought that myself, especially the females that had the vibro treatment - my feeling is that it's just about someone else doing something pleasurable to you.

It’s like sandwiches. Sure, I can make my own, but it tastes better when someone else does it.

Any advice on a table shower if the place has it? I'm considering if I should get a massage with a happy ending.

The venue I worked from didn't have one. A lot of Turkish/Korean baths have them (mostly non-sensual), but the cost of fitting out a standard massage room, to what is essentially a bathroom fully waterproofed would be exorbitant. Plus most premises are leased, not owned.

 

[Eyelevel]

I think I had an opportunity in one years ago. I kept going to the Asian message parlor and getting a full body message. They would be discreet about me getting undressed and in a towel normally but this time the lady stayed in the room and watched me undress. She was about 20 years older than me but nothing was said or offered after that.

Table showers are great. It’s nice to have someone wash and dry your body. I especially like my ass scrubbed

Thanks for your two cents, I was curious to what factors led to some places having them some not. Also like you discussed was the turnover factor: the parlor and the massuese make more money if you turn over the clients quicker. I imagine table showers would slow it down. It does appeal to me to get all sudded up and hosed down by someone else.

Turnover would be a massive factor. That's why most parlours steer away from offering showers - anything that keeps a client longer on the venue is bad for business. I recently had a table shower in Istanbul and didn't find it an enjoyable experience as the table was round and made of marble. I kept slipping to the point of having to grip the sides.

That paints a unique picture in my head, lol!

The new parlor that opened near my house offers them. I went it a month or so back to try it as I’ve never had one. It was amazing,very sensual and suggestive from the beginning. She had me stand nude while she prepped the table then had me lay down on my stomach then on my back.
I was very erect as I turned over and she actively played with my penis as she was cleaning me. I knew I was in the right place and the massage that followed didn’t disappoint. I received the full happy ending as well plus being able to fondle her breasts as she stroked me.

Having read your very specific pointers on going to Happy Ending Massage Parlours, do you have any other suggestions for a man who would is very interested in going for the the first time. I'm setting my expectations very low. My goal is to get a decent message, I get to show a bit of my exhibitionist side and be nude, and if get a hand job great if not oh well...

Enjoy yourself. If the provider puts a towel or sheet over you, innocently pull it off.

Thanks, I'll keep that trick in mind. I know I can pull off the towel, not sure how I can do it innocently. LOL

 

[slightlysubhub]

I also remember they’d ask if I wanted “hard or medium” pressure,I said “soft” and they literally took the towel off me and exposed me as they started the very sensual stuff which led to the handjob and extras. Also leaving a preemptive tip out for them to see usually lets them know I’d like extra

Can I suggest you either don't do it 'innocently' or pretend that it's fallen off. Simply ask the question 'am I okay to take the towel off?' or 'am I okay without underpants? Simply doing either without being prompted can get you thrown out!

You're right, honesty is always the way to go, I don't want to make the masseuse uncomfortable. Even if you don't kicked out trust is easy to lose and hard to get back.

Some parlour workers are very laid back, and others have a hair trigger temper. The trouble is you never know what you're going to get. As a rule, if you know it's a happy ending parlour there's very little you can do to offend when it comes to raising the subject. It's when you're not sure that it's a problem

What is the going tip rate for happy endings?

 

[Felix Squalitas]

Here's a question for "happy ending" specialists who have massaged a lot of women. Having seen dozens, hundreds or maybe thousands of female orgasms, please clarify: Do women--or at least some of them--actually produce ejaculate? (Not urine.) Or is the whole squirting orgasm thing a porno illusion?

I'm not asking out of complete ignorance. I understand that a wet pussy is normal (and a good thing). I'm asking because in a long, very lucky life, I have yet to run across a "squirter." I'm not talking about piss play. Women? Masseuses? I'd love to hear your opinions.

 

[JenniZinc]

What is the going tip rate for happy endings?

Very hard to say as I don't know what part of the world you're in, and also I have been out of the game for a long time. In Australia it's usually a 'cost +' situation, in that you pay the door $X and then pay a tip for the sensual services. The first payment depends on how long the massage is for. The extras were $50 when I was there, sometimes negotiated down to $20, as something was better than nothing. Topless ranged from free to $20, and I stayed away from going fully naked. Again that was in 2010, so you can expect these figures to have risen over the years.

I would agree that the price for "extra's" differs depending on local. Then I had a thought, here in the U.S., the price for extras is commonly discussed in increments of $20 ($20, $40, $60, ... etc.) oddly enough, because ATMs dispense cash in $20 dollar bills.
