China is a huge country that is teaming with commercial sex services. While I have reported on the special administrative regions of Macau and Hong Kong for years I only started reporting on the Chinese mainland this year.

While there are erotic establishments all over China the repressive climate that exists in the country forces most of them to operate below the radar. There was a time when cities like Dongguan were lined with sex saunas that could even outshine the Macau saunas. A wave of crack downs has more or less put an end to that.

Today adult entertainment venues in China can be even be tricky for locals who speak the language to find thanks to the use of general locations and passwords intended to throw off the authorities. For foreigners who do not speak Mandarin things are much more difficult.

Entrance to the totally foreigner-friendly Chinese sauna I reviewed here a few months ago requires customers to contact a manager for directions to a nondescript office building where they must say a secret word to a plain clothed lookout.

Because of the difficulties and hassles involved many foreigners rely on bars known to attract freelance working women and escorts to serve their needs. One of the most prominent collections of escorts working with foreigners can be found on the Shanghai Nightlife Blog.

One set of escorts on the site is found on an “escort agencies” page. The other is found on an “independent escorts” page. A few of these escorts like the Filipina featured seem to be genuinely independent since they list their own contact information. I don’t know if the same is true for all of the others since appointments are arranged with them all through an English speaking contact named Judy. Her contact info is listed for the mast majority of the women on the independent escort page.

This is why I’ve decided to group the “independent escorts” as a whole for the purposes of this review. Whatever their level of relation and connection they are all at least dispatched through the same person.

Customers contact this contact person through phone calls or emails. They can also make contact through the use of smartphone apps like Wechat which leads to the quickest responses. Customers can select one of the available women listed on the website and try for a booking. The ladies do get booked pretty regularly and even when they are not the size and amount of traffic in Shanghai can make it so they’re not available for a few hours so customers have the best chance at making an appointment by doing so in advance of the actual time they want to have a session.

Prices vary from one lady to the next and according to the length of session. An average short session runs between 1300 Yuan ($198-$365 USD). Deeply discounted sessions are advertised on the website with regularity though customers do not find out until their actual sessions that appointments made under these cheaper arrangements may not include all services listed. For example a woman listed as being an expert in backdoor entry may only offer regular full service to a customer who books her on the cheap. To their credit the Shanghai Nightlife independent escort webpage says “There is no 100% guarantee, that all the options will be available for all the clients at any time!”

Once customers make contact with the booking person they can arrange their meetings. Contact is sometimes returned immediately though at other times it can take a while. In any situation the contact is usually straight to the point. There is little in the way of cheerfulness or the kind of warm customer service one might expect in Asia to be found. To book a session customers must give their names and locations. They may also be asked other questions like their nationality and skin color to make sure they don’t run afoul of the requirements of the women they are booking time with. As careful readers will note some of the women on the site have notes in their profile saying things like “no blacks and no Indians.”

When the women arrive for their booked sessions the contact person lets the customer know through the phone. The women are usually punctual to the point of even showing up early.

The ladies speak varying levels of English with some being nearly fluent and others barely being able to construct a sentence. The latter group use body language and occasionally phone apps to communicate.

The aforementioned website has pictures of each of the women on staff that it claims are “100% confirmed accurate.” In some cases that seems to be true. In others not so much. At least two of the women who work through the website are significantly larger than their pictures may suggest. It is common for photographs of adult entertainment workers to be edited all around the world but a large women advertising with a heavily touched up photo taken at an angle that makes her look like an average sized Chinese woman could easily leave a customer feeling duped.

At least the photographs are of the people they claim to be. There is no use of photographs lifted off of the internet. Some are totally clear and honest. A lot of the women are very attractive. Many others are average or a little above. None seem to be unattractive. One may wonder why so many of the women are bold enough to openly show their faces on the website. There may be little threat to them due to their methods of work. I can only speculate.

Sessions typically go as one would expect. Full service is the norm with oral services also being regularly provided. Things can of course go any way as adults interacting can have different results depending on the exact situation. I can only speak in generalities. At least one of women working through the website only offers handjob happy endings though she is clear about that up front and her prices reflect her lesser services.

The women by and large seem to be enthusiastic about their work. Some are true experts with the skills to pay the bills while others look like they’re in it all for fun and some extra spending money. None appear to be out to rip off or short their customers as the mainly positive reviews in the comments section of the women’s pages suggest.

Few of the women seem to be clock watchers either. This shows a sort of customer based orientation that is lacking elsewhere.

After sessions conclude customers pay their service providers the rates they agreed on before booking. Tipping is not expected or required though some of the women may ask for a little extra money if they feel they can get it. For what it’s worth locals usually don’t tip escorts or anyone else. Foreigners are free to do what they want and no one can fault a woman for trying to make as much as she can but this is worth noting.

This independent escorts operation has a wide variety of women who are relatively easy for customers to book sessions with. Prices are not out of line for a city the size of Shanghai either. Considering all of this and the above I give it two-and-a-half-stars.

The score may be higher if the outfit was located in some sexual desert. On the other hand if this operation was located somewhere like Germany or Thailand where adult services are readily available it would undoubtedly score lower.

Rockit Reports draws in hundreds of thousands of viewers per month. Some are return readers but others find their way here by following links or search engine results. Since this website covers such a vast variety of locations and venues readers can find it while looking for any of a number of things.

South Korea has long been one of the most popular topics here. The website was banned throughout much of South Korea a few years ago without warning but people continue to seek out Rockit Reports for information. Those in country or who are otherwise looking for country specific details can refer to Rokit Reports but everyone else can come here where the country will continue to be covered in detail.

Jinju Massage is a popular massage parlor in the Gangnam section of Seoul. It is a much more thorough place than other nearby massage parlors like Belle and Cool which have been reviewed here in the past.

Unlike many of the adult oriented establishments in South Korea this place is totally friendly to foreigners even when they cannot speak the local language. The shop has signs in multiple languages and the people on staff can all speak at least a little English.

Jinju Massage is located right out in the open though it could conceivably be easy to miss since it is situated on a side street and only a block away from another massage parlor with a similar exterior. The main landmark in the area is the Hotel Dynasty Seoul which is just around the corner from the place under review here.

Most customers probably travel to Jinju Massage with the aid of Seoul’s popular mass transit system. Stops like Gangnam, Sinnonhyeon, Nonhyeon and Eonju are all in walking distance.

Once they arrive at the well-marked black glass front customers enter and remove their shoes. They place their footwear in one of the available lockers and take the key before heading up a small step and over to the front counter where they book their sessions.

The young men who work the front desk at Jinju are friendly enough and capable of speaking at least enough English to deal with foreign customers. Locals are much more common but as stated the management warmly welcomes people from around the world who are able to understand and follow the way things work.

A single session at Jinju Massage costs 130,000 Won ($110 USD). The fee is paid up front. Once it is settled customers can walk down a hallway and into a changing room where they will find a male attendant. This attendant seems to watch television more than anything else though he is helpful in directing customers when needed.

Things are pretty self explanatory. Customers find an available locker and put their clothes and other belongings inside. Then they take the key and keep it with them. After that they walk into the large communal shower room where they are expected to clean their bodies and brush their teeth. They can also partake in the available tubs if they want to soak.

Once they are down wetting themselves down customers head back toward the lockers and grab a towel to dry off with. Then they can pick up one of the available pairs of robes and shorts before notifying the attendant that they are ready for their session to begin.

At this point customers are led down a long maze of seemingly endless hallways until they reach one of the available rooms. There they wait until the first of two female attendants shows up to take care of them.

The first attendants are made up of a team of women in their forties who are professionally trained in the art of the massage. While they are not supermodels by any means they are generally attractive. They wear short skirts and polo shirts and are generally friendly even though few can speak any English. They are certainly skilled in body rubs too and that is what matters most when it comes to their positions.

These attendants give customers thorough rub downs that last close to an hour. They are purely therapeutic until the end. At that point a second attendant arrives to provide a happy ending. In order to get the customers ready for these second wave gals the original body rub girls work on the lower bits. Once the customers are fully and visibily engaged the body rub women leave so that the session can continue.

The second attendants are generally very attractive. Most of them cannot speak much English either but they know their jobs well. They are mainly in their twenties and shapely with sexy lingerie making them look even better. Each person has their own way of doing things but in a typical session the second gal will drop her top and give her customer a bit of access. Then she’ll preform a bit of oral before finishing everything off with a lubed up round of hand service.

Once customers complete the secondary attendants clean them up before leading them back down the labyrinth of halls to the locker room. There customers can clean up again with the showers or simply put their gear back on and leave.

Jinju Massage is a well functioning and clean massage parlor with a competent staff that knows what they are doing. I think the place deserves four stars mainly because of the level and involvement given in comparison to other nearby places like the above mentioned Cool and Belle. Probably the biggest drawback is the cost which is around what good jack shacks in the middle of New York charge though it must be remembered that Seoul is one of the largest cities on earth.

Like a Playboy mansion for everyone.

While the recent news about the Brexit has stunned people around the world and possibly even put the very existence of a unified Europe into question the spirit of international cooperation is still alive in Austria where the Wellcum outfit invites guys from around the world to visit and get their freak on all under one roof. If that sort of thing can’t lead to world peace and a brotherhood of man perhaps nothing will.

Wellcum Wellnesshotel & Erotik is a full service FKK club sauna and hotel located in Hohenthurn which is situated among the Carinthian mountains right on the Italian border. The Gewerbegebiet Hohenthurn Industrial Park is also nearby which is no doubt a great draw for guys doing business in the area.

I would guess that most people reach the club by car which is not difficult to do even for those unfamiliar with the area. Punching the official mailing address of the club into a GPS doesn’t seem to work but it is just as easy to put in the name of the aforementioned industrial park. That leads one right to the doors of Wellcum.

Those unwilling or unable to drive themselves to Wellcum aren’t unable to visit. Local taxis are knowledgeable and can guide passengers to the club without issue. Austria is commonly described as an expensive place but that’s always a question of comparability. Austrian taxis don’t charge that much more than New York City’s famous yellow cabs but they are infinitely nicer.

Most FKK clubs in Europe have a similar set up. Guys pay an entrance fee and get access to the facilities where they can meet with women who offer sexual services for money. The women pay the club to enter and negotiate with customers on their own. They are thus considered self employed and are free to come and go as they please. In Austria as in Germany prostitution is totally legal under this arrangement. Wellcum operates on the same model though it is unique in some ways.

Those are some peaks!

The Wellcum club is one of the nicer places around. It has great clean facilities that include an outdoor pool. It also offers better than average food and things like translation for major sporting events such as Euro 2016.

The club is also set up to handle private parties and even extends special deals to those who throw them. In addition there are live shows, theme days and events like the club’s “Arabian Nights” that help make things more exciting.

Another thing that sets Wellcum apart from some of the other FKK clubs in Europe is that it has its own hotel facilities. Guys who visit the sauna can stay right on the grounds in nice rooms that cost only 119 Euros ($132 USD) per night. This is a pretty competitive rate considering that the same amount of money barely gets one a small two star hotel room in the most of Austria and this place has gorgeous women right on premises.

Entrance to Wellcum costs 85 Euro ($94 USD) and includes full use of the facilities, unlimited non-alcoholic drinks and more. Unlike some places the club lets customers use towels, slippers and robes for free. What’s undoubtedly most important in the minds of most men it also offers access to around one hundred women from around Europe who are good looking and up for fun. The women ask for typical rates in exchange for their services which are reasonable and lower than what less attractive women typically ask for in places like the United States where the sale of sex is for some reason forbidden.

Wellcum Wellnesshotel & Erotik goes out of its way to open up to customers from around the globe. Its website has English, German and Italian versions that explain things and give a very good and honest idea of what the place is like. That’s refreshing in times like this.

Wellcum Wellnesshotel & Erotik, Flussstraße 1, 9601 Hohenthurn, Austria. Spa and club open Sunday through Wednesday noon until 1:30 AM. Thursday through Saturday noon until 3:00 AM.Hotel open 24 hours. Phone: (+43) 4255-20002 Website: http://wellcum.at/

Over a year ago I reported that I had finally completed the task of reviewing every single blowjob bar in Bangkok. Today I must report that I was incorrect in that assertion. No new suck shops have popped up in the time since I published my report but it turns out that I did miss one of the originals.

I have long been aware of Rose Bar. In fact I even mentioned it in the list of long gone BJ bars that appeared on this site in April of 2015. For some reason I simply couldn’t find the place in Patpong even though I searched quite a few times. It turns out that it is still right were it was years ago when I first visited but so many other brightly advertised shops and a mess of “night market” street vendors have popped up that the sign for the place was no longer obvious to me.

It’s also possible that I am losing my vision or even my mind with age but I much prefer to blame others for my shortcomings than to take responsibility for them myself. Perhaps I would do well in some official capacity. In my defense I can say that there has been little to no mention of Rose Bar anywhere on the internet over the last few years. It doesn’t even appear on the various lists of blowjob bars in Thailand that are floating around. In any event the place is still operating and thus deserving of a review.

Rose Bar is a dumpy old bar located on the second floor of a building on Patpong 2. It is only steps away from the previously reviewed Kangaroo Club which makes it even more amazing that I didn’t come across the place again after visiting long before this website was even thought up.

The entrance to the Rose Bar is at street level next to a busy little shoe store called “68.” A man sits in a staircase and rings a bell letting the women in Rose Bar know when a customer is making the climb up. I guess this man and his bell may also be intended to alert the women in the bar of impending danger were such a thing arise as well.

Once customers finish their ascent they are confronted with the place which is pretty shabby and dimly lit but not unnecessarily disgusting or out of the order for the area or the industry.

On the right side of the room there is an old bar that is stocked up with drinks of all kinds. On the left wall there are two rows of blue seats or seats that appear to be blue due to the lighting. They are stationed near tables that have roses permanently decorating them.

There are usually only three or four women on staff. One is a slightly thick but warm and bubbly lass who took over the bar at some point in the past. Unlike the managers of other places around town who stopped slurping man stick when they rose to the ranks of ownership this babe still puts in work whenever she is given the chance. The other women are a mix of the slightly older and slightly larger but they are perhaps even more friendly. The years have been kind to them in terms of shaping them into people who seem to be genuinely happy even if they are not bombshell babes.

There’s absolutely no pressure at the Rose Bar. Things are laid back and stress free. At the same time customers who want to sample in the kinds of services that have made the place famous have to do no more than ask for it. The rate is 800 Baht ($23 USD) per session which can take place right out in the bar or in a small private room off to the side. The women are happy to work alone or in pairs. They are also fine with going on with their business as sessions go on as is the ladyboy bartender who seems to be a little on the shy side.

The women who work the bar have clearly put their time in. They are all skilled and willing to work through none are in the ranks of the best blowers of all time. Steady and sufficient would be the way to describe the way most of the sessions go down. The biggest draw is the atmosphere and attitudes of the women which must be why customers keep coming back. At least I think they do sometimes. The bar is usually as quiet as a ghost town even on weekend nights.

As one of the original bars of its kind in Bangkok its almost amazing to see that the Rose Bar is still in business. That’s even more true since the place has to deal with things like the night market, constant competition and the hot sands of the hour glass. Some credit has to be given to the bar for even staying open. Since the service is up to par and the women are friendly it only seems fair to give the place an average score of two-and-a-half-stars. It seems strange that a place like Som’s across town would only score a half star higher since it’s a much nicer place but that’s the way the cookie has crumbled.

FKK Artemis in Berlin is probably the largest and most visible of all the sex saunas in German’s capital city. Artemis made international headlines a few weeks ago when the place was raided by authorities for alleged tax violations along with other charges. As reported on this site there may have been ideological motivations behind the raid even though the sale and purchase of sex remains legal in Germany. In any event Artemis is still open and operating just as it always has which makes it an obvious subject for review here at Rockit Reports.

The place is totally open to foreigners and has visitors from around the world. Most customers seem to be from around Europe but people from much further also show up with regularity.

Artemis is housed in a large and fairly obvious building in a well traveled part of town. Most people could probably find it on their own with a little help from a map but nearly every taxi in town knows it by name. That’s really no surprise. Artemis advertises on a number of taxis in a similar manner to the the mostly sexless and expensive strip clubs in New York’s Manhattan.

Customers enter Artemis by passing through the parking lot and into the main doors. Once inside they are faced with a front desk usually manned by an attractive lady. Up a flight of stairs to the left one sees a loft that contains the wallet lockers and more often than not some nude ladies standing around waiting for customers to pay them.

When guys approach the front desk they are usually asked if they speak German and if it is their first time at the club. The front desk workers like the rest of the people working in Artemis can speak a variety of languages with all being able to converse very well in English. Customers who say it is their first time are given the run down on the place while repeat customers are simply asked to fork over the 80 Euro ($89 USD) entry fee.

The entry fee gives customers access to the entire facilities along with unlimited free non-alcoholic drinks at the bar and food in the dining area. Unlike FKK Mainhattan in Frankfurt there is no extra charge for robes at Artemis. They are included in the entrance fee along with unlimited clean towels and slippers.

Once customers pay the entrance fee they are given a wrist band to wear while inside. They then walk up the stairs and straight into the large locker room. Women are prohibited from entering this area but there are usually at least a few guys inside. To the left there is a large shower area and some toilets and to the right there are several rows of slim lockers. Customers find an available locker and put their things inside. Then they change into a towel and slippers in their size and head over to the showers to wash off. Next they put on a robe. Then they retrieve their money and head over to the smaller lockers just outside. They find a locker here and place their money inside. After having a session they return to this mini locker to retrieve payment for their service provide after which they are expected to shower again before reentering the main public areas.

Artemis is a pretty large place. The locker room floor also houses the main lounge which is filled with a long round bar and countless seats all around. A raised level in the back has plenty of couches and there are more all around the room. At the far end there are even stripper stages and some beds which allow for public play but these don’t seem to be used much. Beyond that there is a door that leads to a medium sized dining area where food is served. Another door leads to an outdoor patio and a pool of decent size.

Down the stairs just outside of the locker room there are some semi-private rooms and a lounge with another indoor pool. There is a bar at the back end and lots of soft seats around with books and magazines to read. I have been told that is meant to be a relaxing area for guys so no women are allowed inside. In reality some of the more aggressive women do come inside from time to time. There is a gym too.

Also downstairs is the “keno” or public theater which gets a fair amount of use. There are elevated row seats in front of a large screen that plays porn around the clock. Some guys start sessions here with women and some like to receive oral sex here to completion. The action is out in public but a little dark. Most people pay little attention to what others are doing but some guys do seem to like to watch. Guys looking to play in the theater usually ask women for it before agreeing to a session. Some others just sit there and wait. Women pass through all the time and ask guys there if they want some company. Most of the women will at least start their play in the theater. Many will go all the way there. A few refuse it all together.

Climbing the stairs from the locker room floor leads to halls filled with private rooms that are used for sexual services. They are pretty plain but surprisingly clean considering what goes on and how often they are used. They are nothing like the filthy beds one finds in some Southeast Asian massage parlors where some of the bedding looks as if it has been around as long as the local strongmen.

There are dozens of women working at Artemis at any given time. Some days it seems like there are a hundred. Women from all over the world are represented with Romanians and Moldovans being the most common. A few women from places like Turkey, Poland, Hungary and even the Dominican Republic also show up with regularity. Some women have one Asian or African parent and one European parent. In my view they are some of the most attractive.

The women at Artemis walk around nude with only the occasional piece of sexy lingerie and high heels to accent their bodies. Most sit in the main lounge though they can be found throughout the facilities. Some hang around the stair cases and as mentioned many move through the theater quite a lot looking for fresh meat.

The majority of the women at Artemis will gently approach guys to see if they are interested in a session. Some wait to be approached. Almost all will accept offers for sessions though there are a few who are picky. Usually this mean that they insist on working with a friend or something like that. This is pretty rare however and frankly not that big of a deal.

The women who work at Artemis ask for 60 Euros ($67 USD) per session. This typically includes a blowjob and condom covered sex. Some will do more or less. The women who will do things like take facials usually ask for an additional 50 Euros ($56 USD). Those who will do anal usually want an extra 100.

Although the pricing scheme may seem a little cold the women aren’t all that mechanical. Most are very skilled in their job and go out of their way to get guys off. Some even seem to enjoy it. There are a few who are clearly looking to get money the quickest way they can but they are not the majority. The place has a lot of return customers and guys know who performs and who doesn’t. Women who put in no effort aren’t likely to last long.

Artemis has one of the biggest varieties of women on staff of any German sex club. It is impossible then to make a judgement on overall looks with any certainty. Different people have different ideas and there are all sorts of ladies working the place at any given time. I can say that most of the women would be considered attractive but most men. Different styles and sizes are around but there aren’t many overweight or overage ladies. Bodies typically look good with few saggy stomachs or breasts. A handful of women have fake breasts and a couple have gone for the full plastic Barbie look. It’s hard to believe any red blooded guy wouldn’t see plenty of women they would like to fuck on a visit.

Artemis isn’t all roses. Especially when it comes to smell. It seems that most of the customers and nearly all of the women at Artemis smoke cigarettes. The ventilation system in place is not able to handle this so the entire place stinks of smoke. Years ago I may not even have noticed this but today when smoking has been eliminated from most public places around the world it definitely stands out. Surprisingly the women don’t really smell of smoke. Either that or they do and its simply impossible to notice since everything else does too.

Another issue is that the club is so well known and central that it can get crowded at times. Even then there are many available women and space to play however. It doesn’t seem to get as rowdy as FKK Oase does either.

All considered Artemis is a good example of a European FKK club with plenty of women on staff who are eager to work and make money. I give it four stars.

While I’ve covered the massive commercial sex scene in Japan on this website for more than a year, I haven’t been able to write as many reports as I’d like to on all the fun going down in the land of the rising sun. One issue is the lack of shops that accept foreigner customers. Finding one that not only accepts but openly welcomes gaijin in plain English then is pretty unique.

Tokyo Style is exactly such a delivery health facility operating out of Tokyo, Japan. With a detailed website in the best English the ownership could muster, it’s clear that the people at Tokyo Style are glad to call you a client.

There’s no full service on offer, but that’s par for the course for this kind of operation (even when the clientele is Japanese). The sale of vaginal sex is technically illegal in Japan and thus only available through exempted soaplands and some other venues that operate in the margins.

No worries at Tokyo Style though, where everything appears to be on the up and up. The services include body wash, aroma oil massage, testicle massage, mutual nipple fondling and suckling, and either a handjob or blowjob finish. The masseuses provide the services either topless and in a g string or totally nude, depending on the course you choose. The course you select also determines whether you’ll end in a hand or a pie hole.

There are a few more variables too. Some of the therapists at Tokyo Style will provide the blowjob with a rubber. Others will take your fun bits into their mouth au natural. You can also get a body slide with the more expensive course. Don’t worry if you can’t keep up. There’s an illustrated guide on the website that shows you how things go.

Choices determine the price, but nothing is too unreasonable. Seventy-five minutes of the standard course gets you jacked off by a babe in nothing but a string panty for 27000 Yen, which amounts to about 262 US dollars. A same amount of time in the Deluxe Course gets you sucked off by a nubile Nippon nude for 35000 Yen, or about 339 US. You can increase the time spent with your service provider in either course with a little additional dough.

The pricing at Tokyo Style is clear and upfront, which means no bait and switch. The therapists are even equipped with mobile credit card machines, and so they can swipe your MasterCard right in the room, just before they make your master hard.

Another positive feature is their availability. They have long hours and can travel to all 23 wards of Tokyo. So whether you want to see a provider at your home or a love hotel you should have no problem making an appointment.

One of the most important things at a place like Tokyo Style is the staff, and it certainly appears like they deliver the goods in that department.

One thing that makes Tokyo Style stand out to me is the rating system listed for each member of the staff. A few shops in Japan have something similar, but it is often meaningless. Beyond a 1-5 score for things like head massage abilities, at Tokyo Style they actually rate the English skills of each service provider. That can be a big help for guys who are big on conversing but don’t speak any Nihongo.

Tokyo Style is open every day from 2:00 PM to 4:00 AM. They accept booking through their website at http://www.tokyostyle-delivery.jp as well as by phone and even Skype.

The city of Frankfurt is the financial capital of Germany. It draws in people from all around the world to live, work and study. As the increasing number of foreigners at places like FKK Oase and Mainhattan show it also draws people who want to play.

The buying and selling of sex in Germany is totally legal and open. It only makes sense then that a lot of the people who spend time in Germany get involved in this in some way. The FKK clubs are open to women with permission to work in the EU. This usually means they have citizenship or residency in an EU country. Most were born in the EU but women do show up who are married to EU citizens or otherwise migrated to the EU. For whatever reason this doesn’t include many Asian women.

Asian women in Europe tend to work in Asian oriented business like Asia Studio Wien in Austria. There are lots of similar places throughout Germany. I will review some on this site starting today with Japan Miss in Frankfurt.

Japan Miss is located in a large residential apartment like space in the middle of Frankfurt. It could be difficult for someone to find it if they had no idea where they were but it’s not out of the way. The area and exterior do more to hide it than the location.

Customers enter the building that houses Japan Miss by ringing the corresponding buzzer which is clearly marked. When the people inside press the release customers can go up the stairs to the first large door which is opened to greet them.

Once inside customers are welcomed by an older Chinese mamasan who can only speak a bit of English. She arranged a line up of the available women. There are usually around six or seven women on staff. The women are all from China. Most can speak Mandarin, German and at least a bit of English. Some are nearly fluent in the latter.

The women tend to range from average to moderately attractive by what would generally be described as Chinese standards. Some are a little larger than most women in China perhaps as a result of the food and culture of Germany. One or two could even be described as large by European standards. Some others have the typical thin or shapely bodies too. The women are mainly in their twenties with more than a few in Germany to study. Some may have come to study and stayed in the country for various other reasons. Others may have totally different histories.

When the women line up for customers to chose they are dressed in lacy and revealing lingerie that gives an honest view of their bodies. This shows a tendency toward honesty that many places unfortunately do not have. Internationally things like airbrushed and even totally fake photos and the dreaded “bait and switch” are all too common. In Germany they seem to be fairly rare which in all likelihood is related to laws that allow the world’s oldest profession to operate in the light of day rather than being forced into the shadows and organized by unscrupulous characters.

Once a customer selects a woman he is asked to select a session time. The house rate is 100 Euros ($111 USD) for 30 minutes and 150 Euros ($167 USD) for one hour. As with the rest of Germany tipping is neither asked for or expected.

Once customers have announced their plans they pay the house fee to the mamasan then head to one of many large bedrooms. These quarters have an antique look and feel but are big and clean. Each comes with a large bed and all sorts of fetish equipment such as straps and whips. Apparently these items are optional and only used on request. The rooms are gently lit and have the feel of a boudoir or brothel out of some fictional tale. It is totally real.

Once customers have a room they are instructed to take off their clothes and slip into a provided towel. From there they walk back through the lobby into the bathroom area where they are expected to wash off in the shower. The shower is the sort one might see in a nice home and comes packed with all sorts of soaps and conditioners. Although the shower and the lobby are public places customers rarely cross paths as management does its best to keep everything quite and organized.

Once customers shower they head back to their room and wait for their service provider. In a minute or so the service provider arrives and determines how things will go. The service providers at Japan Miss are skilled conversationalists but they are also happy to get right down to business. I imagine they don’t mind much if a customer wants to get into fetish play either. Sessions tend to follow a format of oral followed by covered full service but there is no set script. No matter what a timer is set and followed. There is no clock watching but when the timer rings the session is over.

The women at Japan Miss are generally skilled in the erotic arts but none seem to be up to the level of the top performers at the FKK clubs. Of course I do not know the ins and outs of the skills of every woman working at Japan Miss but this is how things appear.

I don’t know how many customers visit places like Japan Miss for performance in any event. If I had to guess I would say more go there for the experience or the company. Again I could be wrong.

In any event the women who work at Japan Miss do know their jobs and perform them well. That’s why the place stays in business and continues to draw in new and repeat customers. Service providers who can’t deliver don’t last long.

After sessions finish customers have the option of heading back to the shower to clean up again or simply getting back into their clothes and heading out the door. Things are brought to a close pretty quickly and the place seems to be eager to get on to the next customer.

Japan Miss is a good example of what “Asian houses” are like in much of Germany. The name is misleading in that the place is staffed entirely by Chinese women but that’s common throughout the industry and even when it comes to things like restaurants. A lot of “Japanese steakhouses” in the middle of the US have never employed a Japanese person or served a Japanese customers. This is the world we live in. Other than the name Japan Miss delivers what they promise with no surprises or shortcuts. I give the place three stars.

With my recent review of the infamous Rose Bar published a few weeks ago I can now finally and definitely say that I have reviewed all of the many blowjob bars in the city of Bangkok. A little further south in Pattaya however there are countless suck shops that have still not been covered here.

While I have reported on several of the knob polishing pubs in Pattaya over the years there remain many more scattered throughout town. While I scramble to get them all covered and still report on the rest of the world new places open left and right. I haven’t yet published a report on the Pirate Club that opened several months ago next to the 007 Club and a new shop has already opened next door!

I hope to remedy this lack of proper coverage in the next few months by publishing several reports on Pattaya. While some think Pattaya is old hat others continue to read and comment on the reports I publish on the city by the bay. My only real goal is to entertain but there is no way to make everyone happy. At best I can satisfy some of the people some of the time. As long as I’m satisfied with my work things will continue.

Excite Club is a small pub located on Soi Excite which is near Soi Bukhao in Pattaya. The place is very easy to find but just as easy to miss. With the opaque front doors closed I doubt many strangers would wander in off the street. In fact I doubt many strangers would even walk up the street. Most people new to Pattaya seem to stick to the same beaten path that leads down the beach and into Walking Street. At least if the crowds are anything to go by.

When I say the club is small I mean it. A single set of blacked out sliding glass doors makes up the entire front facade. Inside there is a small bar with a few stools to the left and another small row of stools to the right. In the back there is a small booth that can quickly be made private. This booth contains a bench and allow for private activities to go down.

While Excite Club offers the same sort of on premise activities that other bars in its category sell it also has a regular hang out sort of feeling commonly associated with beer bars and gentlemen’s clubs like Club M. What I mean is that it is not only a blow and go kind of place. While it certainly could be that for some visitors others probably come just to hang around with some women and kick back drinks.

Drinks at Excite go for the same prices they do at other small bars around town. Suction services go for a mere 500 Baht though an additional bar fee of 300 Baht is required. This brings the total price to 800 Baht ($23 USD) which is in line with most other shops around town like Bliss Lounge.

I first visited Excite after receiving a tip from some guys who frequent the up and coming blow row that houses places like the aforementioned 007, Pirate and the original Club 4. When I showed up I was shocked by the level of talent. Out of the seven women who were working five looked spectacular considering their line of work.

As it turns out the women who work at Excite don’t only look good in their tight little uniforms. They are genuinely attractive. And they are also very skilled in their trade of choice. Or perhaps I should put the word “were” in front of these statements. The first time I visited Excite I was blown away. The second time I visited a few weeks later I was blown off.

It could be that some sort of private party or reunion was going on but during my second pass I watched as a set of older much less attractive women hovered between a few guys getting drunk at their bar and their phones. The atmosphere was completely cold and unwelcoming and a huge change from the original party atmosphere staffed by hot young women that I witnessed early on. Such a change in such a short period is amazing but hardly unheard of in Thailand.

Excite Club is one of many private clubs that have popped up in Pattaya in recent years. Despite it’s small size it appears to have the potential to be one of the more popular and lucrative though that would all depend on how the place is run.

If I only had my first try to go by I would most likely have given Excite four stars or more. The additional knowledge and experience I picked up leads me to give the place three-and-a-half stars though it’s tough to give a score to a place that can change so much from one day to the next. I gave Club 4 a near perfect four-and-a-half star review but later the place changed ownership and its mode of operation after it was hit in a raid that lead to no charges or arrests. That’s how things can go. Just yesterday I was informed that a star performer from 007 is now working at Excite. Perhaps things will change again.

While mainland China has made international headlines with crackdowns on the sex industry both the sale and the purchase of sexual services remain legal in the Special Administrative Region of Hong Kong. The “one country, two systems” deal isn’t only about the economy.

Hong Kong regulations apparently do prohibit things like pimping which in practice means that most legal prostitution is done through outcall escorting or women working one to a room. The latter setups are known as “walk ups” and typically consist of small apartments which single women use to host clients. The one woman brothels are sometimes scattered around but more often than not they are concentrated in particular areas of even buildings. Some of the women who work in isolated apartments require customers to book appointments through online portals such as the 141 website. Women who work in areas with lots of brothel apartments grouped together typically accept walk in clients.

The Fuji Building on Hong Kong island’s Lockhart Road is home to one of the largest and most well known concentration of walk up one-woman brothers in Hong Kong though you wouldn’t necessarily be able to know that by simply passing by. Unlike the brightly light streets of Wan Chai the Fuji Building is an unassuming tower that masterfully blends in with all of the other commercial and residential buildings that surround it.

The Fuji Building is easy to find by its address even though it doesn’t look anything like a redlight district from the inside. Customers pass through a small entrance door before entering a lobby lined with white marble. Next they walk up a small flight of stairs which lead to two elevators. The building looks fairly typically except for the small signs on the wall which warn that filming the inside of the building and uploading the video to Youtube is unethical.

The elevators are small and more often than not crowded. The discomfort of traveling in these little lifts is exasperated by the incredibly loud music that is played inside of them. Thankfully the boxes move up and down at fairly fast speeds except when people are boarding or disembarking on every other floor.

The Fuji Building has 22 floors. The top 18 are used by working women. Some customers use experience or online reviews to guide them to a particular room but others who are just browsing ride up to the 22nd floor and then take the stairs down until they find a woman to their liking.

Most rooms in the upper floors house working women. Each room has a unique number and these are used by guys who compare notes online. When women are busy with customers or other things they usually hang a small wooden sign on their door that indicates that they are busy. The doors are usually decorated with something like Christmas lights or other signage. When the Christmas lights are illuminated that usually means the woman inside is available but it’s not a sure thing. Guys are expected to ring the bells next to the doors. Knocking is considered to be rude.

Some women in the Fuji Building look at cameras to see who is outside when they hear the door bell ring. If for whatever reason they don’t like what they see they don’t open the door. Others slightly open then quickly close the door to indicate disinterest. Most of the women will however open up for most guys if they are available.

When women do open up they quickly invite guys in to get things rolling. Most are from China and speak little English because most of the clients are local and frankly not very interested in conversation in any event. Typical prices are 500 HKD ($65 USD) for a quick session that includes uncovered oral followed by condom covered intercourse. Some charge a little more or less. Payment is discussed up front but usually delivered after services are rendered.

Guys are expected to shower in the room before the fun starts. Then they head to the bed for the service. The women can be mechanical in their ways which makes sense considering the venue but most are surprisingly eager and willing to do different things. After guys finish they can either get dressed and leave or take another shower before packing up. The women deliver what they promise and aren’t exactly clock watchers but it is clear that they want to maximize their time.

The majority of women are from China. Some are from Hong Kong. A few are from places like the Philippines, Thailand and even Russia. Most of the women are in their twenties and range from attractive to very attractive. Many wear sexy lingerie or even costumes that resemble French maids and such. Some women are older and those women tend to be among the most adventurous. Some of these older gals are even skilled in all sorts of fetish work and games but it would difficult for someone who didn’t speak their language to get involved in that.

Most women start working around 3:00 PM and close up shop around 1:00 AM. There can be some variation. Women come and go all day long as do guys looking for fun. The place never gets uncomfortably crowded but it can get busy at time.

The Fuji Building has a totally mainstream and natural feel to it despite the activities that go on in its walls. This shows that sex work does not have to be relegated to the shadows where it can be burdened with all sorts of dishonesty and even outright danger. Hong Kong has a fairly sensible policy in place that allows places like this to thrive though of course it could be improved. Laws requiring women to work alone are meant to combat organized rings but could theoretically also put women in danger. At least sex work isn’t forbidden. Meanwhile supposedly democratic countries with legally enshrined rights of all sorts continue to lock up adults for consensual activities which is coincidentally the same thing that happens under some of the most authoritarian regimes on earth.

Chiang Mai brings in its fair share of tourists but the numbers are nothing like what is seen in Bangkok and Pattaya. Chiang Mai is the forth biggest city in the country but it is a little off the beaten path with access usually requiring a flight from another city in Thailand. Tourism is apparently growing in Chiang Mai but as anyone who has visited the Sunday night “walking street” festivals can tell you most of it comes in the form of group tours from China that travel in a quite different manner than the old Western model of singles and small groups of family and friends “doing their own thing.”

Chiang Mai is thus considered “off the beaten path” by more than a few falang that live or play in Thailand but the truth is that it is a pretty major population center with its fair share of adult entertainment.

I first started reporting on the sex industry in Chiang Mai a few months ago. There is still a lot to go over including a good number of soapy massage parlors that operate in the same manner as similar businesses in other Thai cities.

Celebrities is one of the soapy massage parlors in Chiang Mai and probably the most obvious. That doesn’t mean it is the most popular or even well known but the place is situated right downtown near a whole host of other mainstream businesses that people use with some frequency.

Celebrities is houses in a large pink building with a sign outside that could be a little more obvious. A breezeway passes through the building for cars that wish to enter. People coming on foot simply walk through the breezeway and enter through the door on the right. Another door across the way is locked.

Inside customers are confronted with a lobby area and a fishbowl type of display. The women working at Celebrities sit on bleacher style seats behind a large glass window while customers sit in comfortable yet worn seats on the other side. A number of friendly but at times pushy male managers also work the floor. Some can speak a little English. Their job is to help customers make a choice. They are friendly but can also be pushy. They don’t seem to like guys who look without making a selection much but that only makes sense. Ultimately it is the name of the game and something they know happens from time to time.

Customers select from the available women by indicating the badge number of the women they are interested in to a manager. Once this is done the manager notifies the woman or women in question and walks the customer over to the front desk where the bill is settled. The women who sit on the right side of the bleachers charge 1400 Baht ($40 USD) per session while the women on the left charge 1700 Baht ($49 USD). This is all inclusive and tips are not expected or asked for though I imagine that the women on staff would certainly be open to accepting them.

Once customers pay they are guided to one of several private rooms. The rooms are very large though not glamorous by any means. The quarters are better than what a lot of the regular oily massage parlors around the country use but they are nothing like what one sees at The Lord and similar high end soapies.

The rooms have large square tubs near the door and beds along the walls. They also have flat screen televisions though these show only regular Thai programming. There is no porn. Some of the walls are a little worn and things like missing fixtures aren’t uncommon. Still everything functions including the women.

The ladies that work at Celebrities are hardly the most friendly bunch in the world. They do their jobs and are okay with customer service but it is not out of the norm to see several with grumpy dispositions. This doesn’t seem to take away from the level of service much but it is easy to imagine that guys dreaming of “the land of smiles” could be disappointed by a woman performing a soapy massage with a scowl.

There seem to be between one and two dozen women on staff during business hours. They are mainly Thai women in their 20’s. A few are large by Thai standards but most are fairly fit and attractive. Few if any can speak English but all know how to use physical communication to get through sessions with people who are not Thai. The shop is open to foreigners and it seems as though men from other Asian countries are among the most common customers.

Celebrities sessions go as they usually do at soapies. The women wash up the customers in the bath then get nude and join them for a little more intimate cleaning and fun. After that they dry off and head to the bed where covered full service is delivered. Oral is often available but it is not guaranteed. This is the norm in many places that are more used to serving Thai and Asian customers than westerners.

After the action on the bed ends a shorter wash up session is had and customers are dried, dressed and guided out the door. The women aren’t clock watchers and even the angry looking lasses seem eager to please but when the time is up things do draw to a close.

Celebrities is a good example of a Chiang Mai soapy massage parlor. There are several others in town and I plan to review them all in the future. Most are similar in terms of the buildings and conditions of rooms but they do have other variances. Considering Celebrities as one place among many that doesn’t necessarily stand out I think it deserves an average score of two-and-a-half stars.

As regular readers of this website along with anyone who has ever traveled to cities like Bangkok and Pattaya would know the country of Thailand is known around the world for its large and vivacious sex industry. Even many of the more modern countries such as those in Europe which have fully legalized open prostitution can’t hold a match to Thailand’s infamous adult nightlife in terms of scope or variety (though Japan certainly gives the place a run for its money).

Despite this reality there are those who like to turn their head and pretend that no such thing exists. Lately they seem to be partnering up with those who know what exists but want for whatever reason to shut it all down or at least go through the motions.

In the past I have written about periods of repression in particular red light and other adult areas. For the most part these seemed to be temporary and limited to specific places. At least they were not tied to any nationwide organized plan to shut down sex work once and for all. As far as I know there is still no such plan though the words and actions of many in positions of power do seem to suggest that there are more than a few shot callers in the land of smiles who like to see sex work eliminated all together.

Channel NewsAsia of Singapore recently published a report claiming that Thailand is in the midst of a war against the sex industry in Thailand. At least that what’s the title suggests. Reading a little further into the article reveals something else. Nonetheless many people living in country seem to be convinced that there is a concerted effort to at least limit if not eliminate sex work. At least two different people sent me links to this article over the last few hours and others including some who have lived in Thailand for years have otherwise suggested to me that they think major changes are in the works.

As the report indicates the minister of tourism has come out publicly against sex work which is aimed at foreign men. According to the article Tourism Minister Kobkarn Wattanavrangkul said that
“Tourists don’t come to Thailand for such a thing. They come here for our beautiful culture”. She went on to say, “We want Thailand to be about quality tourism. We want the sex industry gone”.

One is left to wonder who exactly the “we” she refers to entails but suffice to say the tens of thousands of sex workers who make a living in the industry are probably not among them. I wouldn’t imagine the owners of bars and massage parlors would be included either. Those in official positions who collect unofficial taxes would also probably not be behind such a campaign. Fortunately for all of them no such official campaign seems to exist.

Raids do seem to have picked up recently especially in Bangkok though as far as I know most led to nothing more than check ups. The large Nataree soapy massage parlor was closed down with the help of a Western religious-based organization that claims the place was involved in human trafficking. At least one report also claimed that at least one under aged woman was found on the premises. Since this all leads to good publicity and more donations for said organization one can wonder if the claims made are true. By their own admission said organization is totally opposed to sex work even when it is engaged in by adult women who enter the trade by their own choice. There is also the question of what exactly “human trafficking” entails since it seems to be used for anyone who to travels to engage in sex work even though it is rarely if ever used to describe people who migrate to engage in other forms of work which are often lower paid and statistically more dangerous.

One may also wonder why so little time has been spent reporting that most of the raids looking for immigrant workers and underage girls have led to nothing. The majority of places which have been raided apparently did not employ either. As far as I can tell even the anti sex work outfit from abroad only claims that such a thing occurred in one place. This would suggest that perhaps such things aren’t as common as a lot the opponents of sex work like to claim.

No feeling person is in favor of the exploitation of other human beings. Unfortunately this is not the kind of thing that is decided by some open and democratic process where those who are against such things simply pull a lever and eliminate them for all times. All sorts of things have gone into the creation of the society we find ourselves in today. That must be kept in mind if any kind of serious decisions or actions can ever be made. For my part I simply observe and study and report my findings here for the entertainment of the reader. I make no recommendations or suggestions to anyone but I can’t help but point out glaring contradictions and hypocrisy once in a while.

Many of those quoted in the NewsAsia report mention that it is economic circumstances which drive most women into the sex industry. That is probably true of any industry. How many Thai women would volunteer to work at the local 7 Eleven shop for no pay? This is obviously not limited to Thailand. The Independent recently ran a report claiming that female students are turning to prostitution to deal with rising tuition costs in England. I would guess that most sex workers around the world are in it for the money. A few may actually be looking for sex too. Swingers clubs and the like have quite a few members in a lot of major cities around the world and people even pay to join them!

To its credit the NewsAsia report also mentions that country’s large sex industry is “largely catering to Thai men”. Perhaps this is a truth too obvious to cover up when talking to an Asian audience. That’s especially true in Singapore where prostitution is legal and regulated and large red light district like Geylang are visited by thousands of local men. The question then becomes whether this aspect of the industry is being targeted. I think the answer is no for various reasons that include the need to keep people calm at home while simultaneously placating whinging spectators from abroad.

In all truth I don’t think that any aspect of the industry is really being targeted in a widespread and organized way. According to the article in question police say there is no link between the tourism minister’s desire to rid the country of sex work and the rash of recent raids. That sounds right to me.

When all is said and done some places have been visited. Some places have been warned. One or two places have even been shut down. There has been a clear shift by people with resources to attract a new type of family tourism to Thailand which includes promoting Pattaya as a real getaway destination. I don’t know how many people would visit that city for the beaches alone but apparently some think it can be done. Or at least that’s what they are saying. In the meantime over a hundred thousand women and countless other men and ladyboys continue to make a living by providing sexual services to local and foreign men in exchange for money.

Club K5 is an adult hangout that is a sort of hybrid mix of strip club and sauna. It is not exactly like the various “FKK” saunas that can be found around Europe and indeed even in the city of Prague. As well it is not exactly like the strip clubs that double as brothels that can also be found around Europe again including within Prague itself.

Apparently the sale of sexual services is permitted in the Czech Republic which would explain why it goes on so openly with places like K5 advertising online and even out in public. On the other hand there is a sort of confusion and even a repressive atmosphere that leads to places like the previously reviewed Mazlive Studentky operating in partial secrecy and as I will describe in a future post even “inspections” carried out by huge groups of fully armed law enforcement officers of above ground and fully licensed places that operate in full view of society.

Prague is not the most crowded or complicated city in the world by any means but its winding streets and various numbered districts can make navigation a little confusing for the uninitiated. Even under those conditions K5 is incredibly easy to find. It is located on Korunní in Prague 2 just steps away from the street car and the famous Church of Saint Ludmila.

There is a large sign that says “K5” attached to the exterior of the building that houses the club on the corner. Just up from that is a door that leads inside. Once customers enter they find a large lobby like room with a staircase and antique looking elevator. Before they can really enter the place a large security guard emerges seemingly from nowhere to greet them. Well perhaps greet is not the right term but I don’t think it could properly called a confrontation either. It is a sort of announcement that the club is under control without explicitly saying so.

The security guard seems to pat down some locals and select foreigners but guides most others to the elevator without much of an issue. He also presses the button inside the door in case the customers are incapable of finding the round circle.

Once the elevator doors open customers are met by one of the floor managers. Many hail from other areas with one of the most upfront being from Italy. The managers can typically speak several languages including which makes sense considering their work.

While return visitors can simply enter the club the managers explain the way things work to new visitors. This can seem unnecessary or even annoying in some places but at K5 it is probably justified by the way things are set up. The managers give tours of the facilities that allow customers to make an informed decision about the sort of service they want to pursue.

As the managers are keen to explain there are two ways to enjoy the club. The first is to pay a 500 Czech Koruna ($20.50 USD) entry fee which gives the customer access to a bar area that looks like a strip club where women lounge around and sometimes dance along with a relaxation room complete with beach chairs. The other is to pay 2400 Czech Koruna ($99 USD) to chose from the available ladies to have an immediate thirty-minute session in one of the private rooms.

Customers who pay to enter the club can also get full service sessions at various rates depending on the time period. Costs are not much different than what guys who walk in off the street for a quicky pay. Once in the room and showered the women who work at K5 are fairly straight forward and offer the usual European brothel style oral and standard full service. As is the case in most of the Czech Republic the oral sex is performed with a condom unless the customer pays an extra fee to remove it. Other extras such as facial finishes and anal when available also come at a premium. Tips are generally not asked for or expected outside of the fees associated with special services.

Customers can either select their service providers from an informal line up or walk around the club or by selecting one from a portfolio of photos. Those who opt to enter the club and hang around can actually invite the woman over for a drink before deciding to go into a private room. Obviously this costs money but the rates are not much more than the regular drinks at the bar.

The women who offer full service at K5 tend to be of average looks at best. Of course beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I can only write from my own experience and view though after traveling the world endlessly for years I do think that I have some sort of a basis for making an objective observation. The average age is in the mid to late twenties with a few being a little older and few if any being nineteen or twenty. Most are European with Czech women being in the majority but other countries as far away as Brazil are also represented.

Most times there are a little more than a dozen women working the club. According to the management there can be up to forty women working during the highest periods but I have no idea whether this is the truth or hopeful marketing that aims to get customers back in the club at a later date.

The rooms at K5 are clean and in some cases rather unique. They can even be down right impressive considering the aged classic style building they are housed in with some being fully mirrored or decorated with sky lights and heart-shaped beds. Ultimately though this is probably not a reason for most people to visit the place.

As is the case with most saunas customers receive a numbered wrist band when they enter the club. This occurs whether they enter the place officially or simply opt for a quick session. When customers exit they return this wrist band to the front desk and pay their tabs. European women who like the bar tenders in the mainstream bar around the corner are often more attractive than the K5 club’s full service providers run the modern cash register which accepts cash and most major bank and credit cards.

Club K5 Relax is a good example of an above ground and straight forward brothel in the Czech Republic. The place obviously has high aspirations as indicated by its various options and thought out theme rooms. The prices reflect the idea that the place is a high end entertainment zone in the middle of one of Europe’s most visited city. On the other hand the place has a bit of an underutilized and at times even empty feel which makes the rates seem higher than they should be especially considering that places like Showplace DaVinci and some large saunas are only a short walk away. I give it a below average score of one-and-a-half stars.

Club K5. Korunni 5, 120 00 – Prague 2, Czech Republic. Open seven days a week from 6:00 PM to 5:00 AM. Phone: +420 224-250505 Website: http://www.k5relax.cz/en/ Map on website.

Latino night at Goldentime.

Goldentime is the most well known of all of the FKK style sex saunas in Austria and possibly even Western Europe. Nestled in plain sight in the city of Vienna the club is too large and well advertised for most people to miss.

While Goldentime is easily accessible by both foot and public transportation I would imagine that most people reach it by vehicle. Plenty of locals and others from around Europe drive themselves as evidenced by the large parking lot which is normally filled with automobiles and taxis bring in many more. Most cab drivers know the place by name and even those who didn’t wouldn’t have a hard time locating the building decorated externally as it is by large pictures of partially nude European women in sexy poses.

Once customers enter the club they come to a sort of open lobby with a desk at its center. Above the desk large flat screen televisions show a video loop featuring thousands of mostly blond European women who look like supermodels. Behind the desk sits one of several attendants.

The people who work behind the scenes at Goldentime are multilingual. All can speak the local version of German and will typically start with this though most can and will quickly switch into English or any other language they are capable of speaking if they realize they are dealing with a foreigner.

The front desk workers are all fluent in English which is probably a requirement of their work and not out of the norm in Austria in any case. A lot of guys from Austria and Germany do visit the club but a fare share of others from places as far away as Canada and Japan also stop through on a normal basis. Regular customers simply pay the 90 Euro ($99 USD) entrance fee at the desk and walk in. First timers get a rundown of the way the place works. Those who have been to FKK clubs around Europe will already know the deal.

Guys get a wrist band with a locker key when they enter. They put their street clothes inside and shower in the large locker room before putting on the provided robe and slippers and heading out into the even larger lounge area. There they can find a buffet with free food and a bar that serves an unlimited supply of free non-alcoholic drinks. The entrance fee also gives access to the rest the facilities which include things like comfortable chairs to lay around in. The main draw of course is the women.

Dozens of women can be found working at Goldentime on any given day. Most are Romanians and Moldovans in their twenties who are normally attractive. A few come from other countries. A real European variety can be found at Goldentime with women from places like Hungary and Bulgaria often making appearances. Women from other parts of the world are rarer. Women come to the club to sell sexual services. They pay the club a fee to enter then negotiate with customers for sex. In practice there is an understanding that a session of uncovered oral and full sex goes for 60 Euro ($66 USD) with extras like an ejaculation on the face finish going for thirty more. The club simply provides a meeting place for these women to meet interested men and rooms for them to get busy in. The club doesn’t take a cut of what the women make from the sale of sex. This is all permitted under local law which is much more rational than the rules in some other places that make it legal to give away sex for free but illegal to sell it.

As previously described the lounge area at Goldentime is large. In fact it is probably one of the largest lounges that can be found in any FKK club. This gives a lot of room and reduces chance for the kind of crowding that can be found at popular places like Artemis in Berlin but it can also make the place look a little dead in the early hours. For those solely seeking to meet women this can be a good thing. Those looking for the kind of party atmosphere that can sometimes be found at clubs like Oase in Frankfurt on the other hand may be disappointed. I would expect that most guys visit these kinds of places for the women though and I don’t imagine that most would be disappointed in that regard.

Most FKK clubs have at least one cinema area where porn movies are played in front of some assortment of bench seats or beds. These kinos as they are locally known are the main places where public action takes place. Some women have no problem playing the kinos but others aren’t enthusiastic or refuse the activity outright. At places like Oase most of the women are up for public fun. At places like Mainhattan in Frankfurt only a few are. There is a cinema room at Goldentime but few of the women are into using it.

All are into the private rooms however which are large and clean. They contain big beds with clean linens that leave customers with little to complain about. There are also enough around that guys are never left waiting for a place to go which unfortunately can happen at other similar places during the busiest times.

Goldentime is good in that regard. As mentioned above the locker room is even large and well thought out. Instead of the strangely shaped doors with wider tops than bottoms that can hit unsuspecting guys in the head the lockers at Goldentime have normal straight doors. The showers are also large and always kept clean by the staff. The same goes for pretty much everything else in the club too. There is a high standard.

It may seem odd to spend much time talking about facilities and surroundings but after all that is what customers are really paying for when they plop down the price of admission at any FKK club. Besides there is a huge variance with any large group of women that makes it near impossible to talk conclusively about the staff. The women at any FKK aren’t necessarily any different than the women at any other FKK. Many even move back and forth between clubs. Since the women are all independent there is not much clubs can even do to influence them besides baring the most egregious rule breakers. That’s rare though with most FKK clubs being very safe and laid back places where everyone seems able to hold it together.

All in all Goldentime is a good example of what a FKK club in Western Europe is like. It is a little more expensive than most of the other clubs in the region but as they say Vienna is an expensive city. With little to set it apart from other FKK saunas besides from its large and well kept interior I give the place a slightly above average score of three stars.

Goldentime. Karl-Gunsam-Gasse 1, 1110 Vienna, Austria. Open seven days a week from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Phone: +43 (0) 19699090. Website: http://www.goldentime.at/en/club-wien Map on website.

The new Carre Blanc.

I have been covering blowjob bars on this website site it first launched nearly four years ago. One reason for that is that I think the places are totally unique and interesting yet unknown by most of the world. Another reason is that there always seems to be something to write about.

As I’ve pointed out in past posts there are various types of blowjob bars around. Japan probably has the most. Vietnam is also home to many though they tend to be more like blowjob barber shops or blowjob cafes than bars. The latter theme seems to have caught on and spread around the world with last month’s announcement that a blowjob espresso bar will soon open in Switzerland. There are places where guys can pay to get blown in a partially public setting in countries like South Korea and the Philippines but they are very limited at this point. What remains is a few private blowjob shops and a handful of bars where guys occasionally get a hummer.

Thailand is probably home to the most traditional blowjob bars if such a thing even exists. The typically model is that of a regularly pub except that there is a staff of women on hand who offer oral services to customers for a set fee. In the original BJ bars women did the act right out in the open while anyone else around continued to enjoy their drinks. That isn’t as common as it used to be. Only a few places still specialize in such activities. Other places offer it but often only with reluctance. The places where is practiced most tend toward an out-of-the-way private “gentlemen’s club” setup.

I have been writing about Thai blowjob bars specifically since the beginning. I thought I had finally reviewed all of the BJ bars operating in Bangkok last year before realizing that the infamous Rose’s was still around. It appears there may be one or two more old haunts in Bangkok worth seeking out but for the most part it seems that I have the capital city suck shops out of the way. That doesn’t mean that there is nothing else to cover. Pattaya is filled with shops including many that I have yet to write about and more are opening all the time. Plus the existing bars in Bangkok continue to generate news.

I wrote quite a few updates about the Thai suck shop scene last year. I’ve been trying to cover a wide variety of venues and subjects since but so much news has emerged over the last weeks that I feel I must once again pen a piece about the pickle polishing pubs in the land of smiles.

The world famous Dr BJ’s Salon in the Sukhumvit section of Bangkok suddenly closed down as reported by Stickboy Bangkok. Apparently some Thai people found their way to a story published about the place on Vice a while back and started an uproar on social media. When I first saw that piece in Vice I wondered if it would cause problems. It turns out that it did though later than I may have imagined. It also turns out that I was probably right when I wondered allowed if the shop had been given some kind of warning to shut down rather than running into much worse problems from the powers that be. Some sort of mass email went out not long ago saying that the bar was simply rebranded after a shareholder reorganization. I don’t have the whole scoop. I just know that the bar closed at least for a short while. Not long after the entire shop was gutted another place called Wood Bar with the same mode of operation and even staff opened in the exact same location though its website is much more discreet. I’ll try to review it soon. The Dr BJ’s Nuru shop across the street was also closed but a place called Chrome Bar has opened in its place offering the same services.

Another bar a little further down Sukhumvit has variously been reported as open and closed. The Japanese pinsaro-like Bit Style has been through at least one closure and restart before and conflicting reports have been received over the last few weeks. I don’t have any special details or inside information. I just know what I’ve been told. As I write this the place does seem to be open and operating again even though the website hasn’t been updated in months.

Down in Pattaya a lot more has been going on. In my review of The Pump Station published back in 2013 I described how far the once great venue had fallen. It turns out that management finally took notice. The place has been totally redone and improved though it looks and works a lot more like a regular old girlie bar than a vacuum mouth venue now. Rumor has it that the same old services are still available upstairs though obviously that will have to be verified.

The previously reviewed Carre Blanc has relocated. The old shop has been closed and the venue is located right next to Club 4, 007 and the yet-to-be-reviewed Pirate. When 007 first opened next to Club 4 I wrote that the area was turning into a venerable “blow row”. Little did I know what was to come. There are now four slurp shops lined up in this little out of the way area. Most seem to have some sort of French involvement though they are all open to the general public. Punters really have their pick at the moment tough it is easy to wonder if there is a such thing as too much. At some point the supply may outpace the demand though I can’t be sure. As long as there are red blooded men in Pattaya I’m sure these kinds of places will have customers. Conspicuousness is another issue. Perhaps the concentration of similar businesses could draw attention from someone unwanted. Of course it is just as possible that the shops are located where they are for a reason!’

That’s what I know for now so that’s all I can tell you at least until the next bulletin blows in. Stay tuned.

The many sex saunas of Macau have been covered in detail on Rockit Reports for years. Over the last two years however coverage of the subject has been more limited. There are only so many saunas in Macau though truth be told I have not come near covering them all. Trying to write about various parts of the world all at once is always a tough thing to do especially when considerations of time and resources come into play.

Beverly Sauna is one of the bigger and more well-known saunas in Macau although a lot of English-speaking people seem to overlook it. The sauna is located on the second floor of the Beverly Plaza Hotel which itself is a rather large place that most familiar with Macau know.

Customers access the sauna by going past a desk and up a flight of stairs. That leads to a clear walkway ending in the typical changing room set up. The lockers are electronic which is probably of little importance to most visitors since they ultimately work just like the regular key hole stows spaces in other saunas around the island. Customer put their clothes into an assigned locker and wrap themselves up in a towel before moving on to the wash room.

The washroom is a fairly typical set up. It has several shower stalls that customers are expected to use when they first enter. They are open though no one spends any time looking at the guys using them. There are also some pools containing water of various temperatures. A lot of saunas have these sorts of pools but they rarely seem to be in use. At Beverly the pools are regularly used for skinny dipping sessions. Perhaps this because Beverly has so many Chinese customers.

Behind the pools there are a few private shower stalls with frosted glass doors. These rooms are staffed by Vietnamese women dressed in lingerie or bikinis. The women are happy to give customers a soapy table shower with the price being tacked right on to their tabs. The women range in looks with a few being very attractive. The services are mainly limited to the customers being washed head to toe with warm water and soap but at times things can get a little more adventurous. Some of the women even make themselves available for full service sessions inside at a higher than normal price.

After customers are done with the wash room they head into a small changing area. This part of the sauna is staffed by Filipino guys. I hate to be a sexist but I have to say that the sight of a few guys from the Philippines isn’t nearly as nice as the sight of the kinds of attractive women from Indonesia and other parts of Asia that some other saunas hire for the same work. In any event the Filipinos guys take wet towels and hand customers neon green robes and short shorts that look like they come straight out of the early-1990’s and slippers that they are expected to wear inside. Although the gear can look a little ridiculous it is what everyone wears so no odd looks are given. It should be noted that the robes and shorts are of a higher than normal quality which may explain why they look so old. Perhaps they have been in service since before the handover.

Just past the changing room stands the lounge. It is no better or worse than most other sauna lounges in Macau even the place does have some age. The room is lined with nice big lounge chairs that are rarely filled. In one part of the room there are standard tables that allow customers to enjoy restaurant-style seating. Flat screen televisions are mounted on the ceilings.

Beverly is like all other saunas in offering free food as a part of the package. While some places only go through the motions Beverly excels. The sauna’s menu is quite a bit bigger than most others and the flowered shirt wearing staff is incredibly attentive. There are some items on the menu that may appear odd to westerners but that is simply a case of the business catering to its clientele. There are many foods common to the west on the menu as well. A few items carry extra charges but they are reasonable. For example a shot of espresso costs just 10 Macanese Pataca ($1.25 USD).

Like other saunas Beverly staffs a range of people to do different tasks. At Beverly there are women wearing different outfits to indicate their area of expertise. Women wearing red shirts and black pants do foot massages. Women wearing pink shirts and black skirts work on the upper half of the body. This means they do things like ear cleaning and shoulder massages. The women wearing white shirts and short white skirts do “inner thigh” massages.

Unlike some other saunas where handies can be given right in the lounge that sort of hand work is limited to private rooms at Beverly. The rates are on par with other saunas as the service is just as good but there aren’t many white skirted women around and those who are on staff can get quite busy.

The women working the floor at Beverly range in looks but most are moderately attractive. Some are outright beautiful. Most are friendly though the sauna allows the women to carry their phones while they work which inevitably leads to some of the ladies on staff spending more time staring at their screens than working or looking for customers. This is not common in most of the competing saunas.

As previously noted Beverly mainly works with Chinese customers though the place to seems to be open to anyone who can afford the service. A floor manager who looks like a character out of Reservoir Dogs roams around looking for things to do. He seems to a friendly fellow who is constant communication with customers and the women on staff without ever appearing to be rude. Of course I cannot speak Cantonese and I have no special insight into what really goes on so what do I know?

All in all Beverly operates like most other saunas though there are some things that set it apart. One is the hours of operation. Most saunas are open around the clock or at least allow customers to sleep overnight if they require it. Beverly also caters to customers but takes things a little further but opening at full steam early in the day and even offering customers a breakfast menu.

The lineup procedure at Beverly is also unique. Normally saunas either organize periodic lineups of the women available for full service or allow customers to request a lineup in front of their seat whenever they are ready. When customers want a full service session at Beverly they are guided up a set of stairs to an area which can be accessed by guys coming in from the street. This is probably convenient for people who want full service without spending hours at the sauna though it is a bit odd to have freshly washed guys in short shorts and robes standing next to others in their street gear who just wandered in from a casino.

The women who offer full service at Beverly represent a wide range of looks. The club claims a staff of women from mainland China along with others from South Korea, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore and Russia. In all likelihood many of these women are not from the countries claimed though it is notable that Chinese women are in the minority and Vietnamese women are totally absent from the list. Some of the women are only moderately attractive though at least a few are absolutely gorgeous.

The women claimed to be from exotic countries ask more for a session than others though the prices are not out of the ordinary for the area. The women claiming Japan for example ask 1949 MOP ($244 USD). As is usual there are all sorts of discounts and deals available which can be incredibly complicated. Usually a guy who pays for a few floor services and at least one round of full service does not have to pay an admission fee.

The rooms where the full service sessions take place are just around the corner from the line up room. They quarters are large but done in Korean or Japanese style with the mattresses right on the floor. Most other saunas use the kinds of elevated beds common in the West. The rooms show signs of wear and tear but they aren’t horrible by any means. The rooms do have modern flat screen televisions that show at least two channels of Japanese porn. The rooms also have large full showers though they don’t contain anything special like the frog leg licking tables at Emperor.

Each woman has their own way of doing things but there are no real reports of amazing performances coming out of Beverly with any regularity. The women do their jobs and focus on the parts that are involved so most have nothing to complain about but things can have a routine element to them especially for repeat customers who no longer are shocked that places like these even exist in the first place.

Beverly is a long standing sauna with a loyal following. It has a few unique ways of operating that set it apart from the competition but these do not necessarily make it any better in the eyes of customers. It is simply another option among many. I give the place an average score of two-and-a-half stars though if it was located somewhere else in the world where such saunas don’t exist it would probably deserve a much higher rating.

Candy at NYC Jackpot looks sweet.

One of the first posts published on Rockit Reports when this website went online way back in 2012 was about Korean massage parlors in the United States that offer full service happy ending to punters with a bit of money to throw around. Writing anything of that nature requires the use of generalities. Obviously not every massage shop that is owned or staffed by Koreans offers those kinds of services. There are however a specific subset of places that do. There is no way for me to know which is which though I can find out the same sort of publicly available info that anyone else with a bit of time and resources can dig up.

For the last four years I have been publishing lists of Korean massage parlors in New York for the edification of readers. I have never tried to find out what went on inside of the places on the list. Similarly I have never suggested that anyone visit the places on these lists. In fact I have never suggested that anyone do anything or go anywhere. I definitely would never suggest that anyone do anything illegal even when I find certain laws to be totally ridiculous. I simply write so that people like you will have something to read. Many seem interested in this topic which is reason enough for me to cover it.

Earlier this year quite a few Korean owned massage parlors were raided by law enforcement agencies and closed. I reported on these events soon after they happened. I do not know if there is any truth to the charges that have been brought against people in relation to these raids but I do know that I take most government claims with a very healthy dose of salt. I have had some long and serious talks with people involved in the trade who have told me things that contradict a lot of what is claimed in the media and court filings. Whatever the case may be there are still lots of Korean places open for business in New York along with all kinds of other outfits owned by Americans, Chinese and people from various other countries.

It is not clear whether people working in raided facilities will be successfully prosecuted for offenses related to sex work. What is clear is that the world’s oldest profession will not be laid to rest through the actions of a few agencies. For better or worse the all mighty dollar continues to reign supreme in the United States as in the rest of the world.

What follows is a list of massage parlors currently operating in Manhattan that seem to be Korean owned and operated. As astute readers who have paid attention to my continual assertions that this website is for entertainment only know I have no special information or insight into what goes on at these places or how they are run. Even if I did I probably wouldn’t spill the beans here where people who for whatever reason hate adult entertainment can easily access it.

If this list appears to be smaller that those of previous years give a thought to the kind of climate that is hanging over New York City at the moment. That can explain more than I could ever hope to through a simple article here.

Pink 31 is a newcomer to the list. Located in midtown Manhattan the shop boasts a staff of five who from their photos all seem to be incredibly attractive. The shop’s website claims to feature “100% real pics” which would be a totally novel idea. Most pictures used on sites like these are airbrushed almost beyond recognition even when the women who feature in them are truly gorgeous. Pink 31’s phone number is 212-683-8200.

Private Hottie is another new midtown shop. Located on East 31st Street the place maintains a very simple website though it does contain pictures of some great looking gals. This place also claims to use totally real untouched photos and it appears they may be telling the truth about that too. Private Hottie’s phone number is 646-552-3769.

Sweet Spa 29 is one more new shop. At least it is new to me. I haven’t seen this website prior to 2016. I’m sure I would have remembered coming across it as it is filled with very sexy pictures of some incredibly built Asian women. As the name would suggest the shop is located on East 29th Street in Manhattan. Its phone number is 646-752-7757.

Heidi at Asian Honey Bunny also looks delicious.

NYC Jackpot is yet another new shop that is appearing on the list for the first time this year. It has a simple website that reminds me a lot of the days of old. The women on the website on the other hand don’t look old at all even though one on the list has been in the game for nearly a decade. The whole group of four appears to be very good looking. The shop doesn’t publicly list its location but rather asks potential clients to make contact by phone to book an appointment in advance. NYC’s Jackpot’s phone number is 917-330-3524.

Honey Girl on the West Side shows two women on its homepage. Both have been photographed very well even though one appears to be deep into middle age. Even though the website is a little out of the ordinary it does have pizazz. The advertised availability of table showers means it is most likely not all that different from the competition. Honey Girl’s phone number is 212-586-8887.

The website for Sally’s Spa is very similar looking though it contains pictures of numerous women. Some of them are unbelievably attractive. The shop claims to use untouched photos and actually seems to be telling the truth. That’s almost unheard of. Sally Spa’s number is 212-564-0552.

Silk Tigers on West 38th Street either has the same owners or the same web designers as Sally’s. Their website also contains raw photos that honestly do seem to be unedited. That makes the looks of the women pictures even more amazing. They all look totally incredible. The shop’s phone number is 212-382-1888.

Seoul Desire is another new shop appearing here for the first time. I only recently became aware of this place’s existence though it does seem to have a following. I’m not sure how Seoul Desire operates. The website only shows one woman on staff. I do have to admit she looks great in the many photos of her on the site though it is rare to see just one gal. It is even more out of the ordinary to see a shop without a phone number. The only contact information the place lists is an email address.

It may be that the model is changing. At least one website has appeared under the name Diva that promotes a single Korean escort working out of Midtown East. The photos displayed on the site follow the style typical of Korean massage parlor advertising though in almost all cases parlors employ more than one woman at a time. The rates are about double those of traditional Korean massage parlors too.

Asian Honey Bunny is the last shop to make the list this year. It too is making a first appearance which means that none of the shops listed last year are still around even if some of the same people are still working under other names and labels. Asian Honey Bunny just barely made the list. While it obviously has some Korean women on staff I’m not sure if it fits into the mold of the Korean massage parlor. Some of the women working at Asian Honey Bunny don’t seem to be Korean and some of the outer appearances are a lot different than what I am used to seeing. The shop’s website even advertises for women to apply for jobs in English. Whatever the place may be Asian Honey Bunny’s phone number is 631-805-8497.

That’s all I have. It may not be exclusive but its what I know. Surely things will change by next year when the 2017 incarnation rolls around. Perhaps there won’t even be a list at all. Things continue to change even as they ultimately stay the same.

Over the years I have spent a lot of time covering the famous seaside city of Pattaya. I still haven’t written up even half of what I know what I know about the area and its various businesses but I do have to use at least some of my time to cover other places around the world. This helps expand both the depth and the readership of this site.

Pattaya is known around the world for its adult entertainment scene even though it is increasingly being promoted as a sort of family fun destination especially in countries like Russia and China where people might not know of its primary reputation.

Whatever the case may be Pattaya is still a large city lined from one side to the other with adult entertainment establishments. Some are so large and obvious that they have become tourist attractions. Some of the large soapy massage parlors are even visited by actual tour buses filled with Chinese tourists.

Perhaps this is a part of the sales package back in China. For all I know there could even be posters up in Chinese travel agencies telling guys to bring their wives and kids for the beach and “Ripley’s Believe It Or Not” museum while they unwind with a nice nude 21-year-old girl from Chiang Rai in a bubble bath.

That may sound unbelievable but remember that there are shops in Hong Kong decorated with posters of sexy Asian women that sell tour packages that include discounted ferry tickets and full service sessions with Vietnamese women in the Macau saunas.

In any event the large soapy massage centers of Pattaya are hard to miss and thus deserve to be reviewed here on Rockit Reports.

Rasputin is one of the largest soapy massage complexes in Pattaya and probably even the world. The structure that houses the business would be nearly impossible to miss for anyone heading down Pattaya’s Second Road or as they say in Thai “Pattaya Sai Song” unless they were distracted by the wild activities of the nearby Soi 6 strip.

Coming from Second Road customers enter the complex by passing through a large parking lot. If they are coming from the Beach Road they simply head up the small alley and turn toward the doors.

Once inside customers approach a front desk staffed by at least one Thai woman. There is no reason for customers to stop at the desk but first time visitors don’t seem to know that. The woman is constantly telling customers to continue inside.

Beyond the front desk the building branches off in different directions. To the right there is a bar area that looks a lot like a nightclub though during most hours it is basically dead. To the left there are several seats of different styles that point toward the “fishbowl” where the service providers sit. In the same direction there is also a full service restaurant that is oddly right in the eye line of both the service providers and the punters who are looking at them.

In most places the fishbowls are surrounded by walls of glass. This is where the name comes from. Supposedly the rooms look like fishbowls. At Rasputin the area is separated by there is no glass to be found. Instead the place where the glass would be is simply open air.

Customers who are looking to party or have a bite to eat can obviously head to the area that meets their needs though most who enter head right to one of the aforementioned seats to have a look at the available ladies. The fishbowl at Rasputin is rather large and extremely well lit. Unlike some of the soapy massage parlors around that have large seating areas but few women there are actually a lot of women working at Rasputin at most times.

Beyond the dozens of ladies in the fishbowl there are also a bevy of “models” who sit in a circle on large red plush couches. All of the women wear numbered badges that are also color coded. The colors indicate the pricing group they are in. The women in the fishbowl are organized into three separate groups. The middle group charges 2500 Baht per session ($72 USD). The models charge even more. Obviously things like drinks and meals can further add to the bill.

Once customers have found a service provider of their liking they flag down one of the floor managers to indicate their choice. The managers can all speak at least basic English that is satisfactory enough to explain the prices and rules. At least one of the managers is either an Arab or an interested looking Thai guy who able to speak the Arabic language fluently to the many Arabic speaking customers who visit.

Once plans for sessions are finalized managers direct customers to a counter to pay while they let the service provider know she has been selected. The service providers then emerge from side doors and join their customers in the voyage to the upstairs rooms. Although the seating and bars areas are huge the rooms are what fills up the Rasputin building most.

The rooms at Rasputin are so large and well appointed that I can confidentially say they are among the best to be found at any soapy massage parlor in Thailand and they put most of the places in Bangkok and Chiang Mai to shame. Still many of the rooms suffer from water damage that is becoming more visible by the day. If this is not addressed soon it won’t be long before Rasputin’s rooms look like those of the most worn out soapies in Bangkok. I doubt this would do much to deter clientele however since most guys visit for the women rather than the big beds or flat screen televisions displaying uncensored Japanese pornography on the walls.

The women represent a full spectrum of the kinds of looks available in Thailand. Women who work at Rasputin come from all over the country. Most are in their twenties but a handful may be in their early thirties. It is always difficult to make a judgment on looks. Different people find different things attractive and when there are dozens of women working there is always variation. I would say that most of the women at Rasputin are generally attractive with some looking a little better or worse. One things is for sure and that is that the women often look a lot different up close than they do at a distance under bright white lights. That explains why regular customers can often be seen pacing up and down the floor trying to get a close look before making a selection.

Although most of the clients are foreigners the majority of the women who work at Rasputin speak limited English if they speak the language at all. They are still able to direct and control sessions however thanks to the use of sounds and gestures that anyone with a brain can understand.

The sessions at Rasputin follow the typical soapy routine. Customers undress and relax while the service providers prepare a bubble bath. Customers then enter the bath with the service providers who wash them sometimes throwing some oral or other erotic action into the mix. That is followed by a soapy slide on a big inflatable mat. Next customers are rinsed and dried before heading to the bed. They are soon joined by the service providers who perform oral without a rubber followed by covered full service. This leads to another shorter bath and the end of the session.

Different service providers can have their own way of doing things but most at Rasputin follow the script pretty closely. This is different from some soapies where more than a few of the women don’t want anything to do with inflatable mats or soapy slides.

All in all Rasputin is one of the biggest and most luxurious of the soapy massage parlors in Pattaya. Surprisingly it has not been too tainted by the number of foreigners who visit as the women still put in a solid work effort even though tips are neither expected or required. The women also seem to be in generally good spirits once outside of the bright lights of the fishbowl which can not be said for every other place running on a similar business model. I give it three stars.

The sex industry looms large throughout Southeast Asia especially in the minds of westerners. Poon hounds and moral warriors alike can come to see the place as one big brothel. Among all of the countries in the area Cambodia may have the biggest reputation of as a home to all things vice. A big part of that undoubtedly a result of news stories covering illegal and underground outfits that attracted criminals and predators from around the world in the aftermath of the infamous civil war but there is more to the picture. More than a few have commented online and in print on areas like the streets lined with girlie bars near the riverside in Phnom Penh.

There are larger and more obvious adult oriented shops in Japan, South Korea, Thailand and the Philippines but for whatever reason people seem to be less effected by those venues. Apparently there is a sketchy sort of mist hovering over the land of Cambodia that gives a lot of foreigners the idea that sex is for sale in every nook and cranny. This seems to result from a combination of hype and an inability to understand the local language and culture. In a lot of ways it reminds me of Japan where flashy neon signs can give people the idea that all sorts of fun abounds.

A few years ago a commentor on this site mentioned that he came across numerous flashy signs in Tokyo that he thought were related to sex. They listed amounts of time next to prices. When he saw one hour for 2000 Yen he thought he had discovered a pinsaro. Then another and another. Eventually he realized that he was looking at signs for parking garages.

There are a lot of pinsaros in Japan and there a lot of shops selling sexual services in Cambodia too. But that doesn’t mean that every single venue is in the skin trade. People with some sort of worldliness and experience which I would like to think would describe a lot of readers of this website already know this.

The River Palace Hotel and Spa sits just north of Wat Phnom in Phnom Penh. The creation of the hotel was apparently a large local attempt at creating a luxurious hotel near the heart of the city. In actual fact the place is suitable but not really special in any way. Its size is not matched by the level of staff. Visiting the place one can easily find parking areas with missing security guards and empty halls and desks. Of course there are some people working the hotel and they are courteous enough but they are nothing like the staff at a place like the New World Makati in Manila or the Grand Park City Hall in Singapore.

That makes sense considering the location and the rates involved. A room at the River Palace in Phnom Penh costs just $32 USD per night. That’s a might lower than what you would pay at the aforementioned hotels.

Obviously this is not a review of the hotel as a place to spend a night. Rather it is a review of the “spa” element of the establishment which is open to everyone including those who are not staying at the hotel.

The River Palace is easily found on the riverside road just beyond the Japanese friendship bridge. It would be difficult to miss with a large sign in English. The spa section can be a little more difficult to find. It is accessible by passing through the hotel lobby and heading right but it also has its own entrance to the right of the main entrance.

Customers entering the spa lobby find a cavernous by mostly empty room. There is a small desk where the receptionist sits along with a cooler containing a number of drinks. The receptionist can speak basic English and is able to explain and book sessions even if the pricing system is elaborate and confusing.

A one hour oil massage using the best lubricant in house costs $26 USD. Some sort of ten dollar fee is than added to that for some reason. From the new total of $36 a $20 discount is offered. So the total ends up being $16. Why they don’t just start out by saying that a one hour oil massage costs $16 is anyone’s guess. Perhaps they need to find something for the receptionist to do beyond staring at her phone for eight hours a day.

At $16 massages at the River Palace cost more than they do at most other places around town. In low end massage shacks body rubs can cost as little as $2.50. In some of the better spas they are $10. I guess the large and somewhat elaborate structure has to be paid for somehow. Massages can be paid for after the fact.

Once selecting a type of massage customers are taken up a flight of marble stairs to one of many very large massage rooms. These rooms are among the biggest and cleanest to be found anywhere in the world. They are also outfitted with central air which is a big step up over the box air conditioners that are usually used in local massage establishments.

Customers are not given a choice of masseuses at River Palace though surely if they had the name of someone who they had used before in mind they would be able to make a request. In any even the women who work at the River Palace are mainly very attractive gals in their early twenties. They wear totally professional uniforms that suggest that no funny business is available.

Customers may have to wait quite some time after entering the massage room and changing before they see a masseuse. I do not know why that is. This is one of many questions that a visit to the River Palace gives rise to.

Once masseuses do arrive it is all down to business. The massages are well done and professional and the women who provide them are warm and kind but there is nothing special to be found. That means that the massages themselves are not particularly mind blowing even though they are quite good. It also means that no sort of sensual services are available at all.

In this the River Palace Spa joins the ranks of many other massage parlors around town including the previously reviewed Orange. Of course there are places that do offer sensual services. This is just not one of them.

Once massage sessions at the River Palace conclude customers are able to utilize a large and clean shower room to remove any oil on their body. This is a nice touch that a lot of places lack. Even when places around town do have shower rooms they are often very shabby.

Once customers finish cleaning up they can head back down the marble stairs and to the front desk where they can settle up their tabs and tip their masseuse who waits to big them a found adieu.

The River Palace has its share of idiosyncrasies but it is a decent option for a legitimate massage in clean and well appointed quarters. It even has a high score on TripAdvisor. Such a thing is not always so easy to find in Phnom Penh. Since this is website is focused on the adult industries I give the place one star.

One of two entrances.

Sun Massage is one of several massage parlors operating in the Unseo section of Incheon in South Korea. Unlike a lot of the anma adult oriented massage facilities in Seoul and the rest of South Korea Sun is open to foreigners. This isn’t necessarily obvious since the only has signs in Korean.

I’m not an expert on the geography and organization of South Korea but it seems that Unseo was designed as a sort of transit town for people visiting the airport. Although it is right next to the airport Unseo is usually pretty empty. That may seem surprising but I think I understand it. The Incheon international Airport is almost like a city in and of itself containing everything from a hotel to an ice skating rink and movie theater. It is unlikely that many people would wander into the nearby area looking for the same.

Don’t get me wrong. The area is not a ghost town. It is just not as busy as one might expect. Koreans make up a bulk of the people around. There are also some Chinese tourists who seem to come in group tours. Other foreigners are pretty rare though there must be someone around keeping the massage parlors in business.

Sun is on the third floor of a building housing multiple businesses. It is located just a few blocks from the Unseo train station which directly connects with the airport just two stops away. Signs for the business are bright pink and can easily be seen. They could possibly be missed in the mix of all of the other signs around though they tend to stand out thanks to the color.

Customers can enter the building that houses Sun massage freely. It is open around the clock. A large flight of somewhat worn out stairs leads up the third floor. It is lined with plenty of signs pointing to Sun.

The glass door entrance to Sun is marked with another sign in Korean. Just inside there is a nice lobby that looks something that would be seen in a spa. A desk near the door has a credit card payment center and a notebook with 150,000 Won ($135 USD) written on it. This is the price of a standard full service session.

The women who do the massages at Sun also work the front desk. They can speak a few words of English necessary to get through their sessions with foreign customers but that’s about where there knowledge of the language ends. There are a few women on staff. They tend to be in their thirties and fairly attractive for their ages with very nice bodies. I’m sure most have children but if so it isn’t very obvious.

Once customers pay the fee for a session at the front desk they are led to one of the nearby massage rooms. These are in noticeably worse condition than the aforementioned lobby though it is unlikely that anyone is visiting for the facilities. In any event they get little use.

Once in the massage room customers take their clothes off and place them on a provided hanger. The hanger is then placed in a recessed locker in the wall. Customers are provided a pair of shorts and slippers to put on.

Once a customers change into the provided lounge wear a masseuse appears wearing an attractive and colorful dress. She leads customers down a winding set of hallways to what looks like a dead end. There some Dragnet type action leads to another hall lined with massage rooms and a shower.

The tiled shower room is large and filled with the standard wash table and shower head along with a variety of soaps and other items. Once customers enter they strip and lay down on the wash table. The masseuse also takes it all off in order not to get wet.

The routine at Sun Massage is something like a half-assed version of what goes down in adult oriented Korean massage parlors in the United States. Masseuses use a soapy puff ball to quickly wash down the customer’s backside. Then they wash the front. The customer than flips over once again for a brief *soapy style body-to-body massage.

Once this is done the masseuse rinses off the customer and then cleans herself. Following this the full service begins right there on the table. This is the norm in the area. In the minds of management this probably makes things easier since the table is behind closed doors and there is no need to walk back and forth.

Once the service is complete customers are instructed to clean themselves before heading back to the massage room to change back into their regular clothes. There they are provided with a glass of ice water before departing.

At any place with more than one person on staff there will be differences in service. Even with one person there can be differences depending on the customer and the situation. While the previously reviewed Cool Massage nearby has a few women on staff who appear to be quite passionate about their work at Sun service tends toward the quick and mechanical. If the women aren’t clock watchers that’s only because the sessions don’t have any set time limit. I’m sure Korean clients get a better and more thorough treatment but then again Korean guys have access to countless superior shops throughout South Korea so it would surprising if they go to places like Sun in great numbers at all.

Sun is a fair example of a foreigner friendly full service massage parlor near the Seoul airport. It operates like most others around with just a bit of variation. I give it two stars.

I first reviewed Mitu Massage in Bangkok in September, 2015. That review which was published almost exactly one year ago was viewed by many people. Many also left comments and questions which demonstrated a real interest in the place.

When the review went online the Mitu shop had a variety of massage options available. Some readers had trouble understanding the system by simply looking at the company’s website. A few were able to get their questions answered by either contacting or visiting the shop in person. Others continued to look to me for information.

As I have stated many times here this website is published purely for entertainment purposes. I am not an individual consultant for men who travel the world. While that might not be a bad job it isn’t mine. Still I do try to report accurately to the best of my abilities. At times that requires serious investigation.

I have reported on the adult industry around the world. Most establishments get a single review if I am even able to cover them at all. Time and energy have to be factored in with a general editorial outlook to decide what gets published on this website. I do my best to cover an ever widening scope of locations and types of businesses in hopes of keeping things interesting. Still there are times when a particular place deserves extra focus. That has been the case with only a handful of establishments so far. Now I will add Mitu Massage to the list.

Mitu Massage has always been an interesting place. Although it is located in a part of Bangkok filled with oily massage parlors it really sets itself apart. Besides having a highly diligent and courteous multilingual manager and staff the shop also offers a wide variety of services. The amount of services has even been confusing to some people in the past. I think that has been mostly remedied as things have settled down and come into focus.

The mainstay of Mitu Massage is the Japanese-style massage which I have reviewed in the past. A former “hip service” has been discontinued. Other services have been added that actually make a lot of sense when seriously considered. One is the “sideline massage” which is performed by part timers. The other is “no hands massage” service which consists of a very customer oriented and attentive procedure that I will cover today with a review on service provider Marni.

The No Hands Massage set of services can be accessed via Mitu’s massage’s main massage center on Sukhumvit Soi 33. Customers can either enter the ground floor door which is purpose built or climb a flight of stairs to the second floor entrance. That leads to a large lobby and waiting room that serves as a sort of hub for the Mitu Massage orbit.

No Hand Massage is meant to be a service that is totally focused on the customers. While the Japanese massage is also very customer service oriented the no hand service is supposed to be something like an erotic maid service with the customer playing the master of the house. The No Hands Massage is staffed by women who require further training in the view of the management though that can be hard to tell since many of the ladies working there demonstrate an expert level of service. The women working the no hands circuit also offer services that some of the other women working at Mitu may not. For example I am told that all of the women doing no hands massage allow customers to finish in their mouths without a cover.

The No Hands Massage service is priced a lot like other services available through Mitu. A seventy minute session costs 3000 Baht ($86 USD). Longer sessions are available for slightly more money. There are also options available such as an upgrade to a VIP room though at the moment the shop is running a promotion that includes a free VIP room.

Mitu runs a ranking system like many places in Japan. Customers can either check the website or ask the management for the current ratings. The current leader of the back is Marni.

Marni is a medium brown skinned gal who came to the world of massage after tiring of the karaoke game. She has the sort of face that one might expect for her role in the industry. It is decorated with the typical cosmetics and things like accented eyelashes. She breaks away from the rest of the pack with her figure and the level of service she provides.

Marni is taller than average. She has a slim and fit body. She sports a pair of silicone filled fun bags that are very large for a Thai gal. These are not of the bolt on variety however. She seems to have had the facilities to carry the things on her chest already so no stretching of the skin was required.

As many ass men will no doubt appreciate Marni’s bottom remains totally natural and untouched. This is for good reason. She carries what can honestly be described as one of the best posteriors to be seen in the city of Bangkok today. This is not totally obvious when she is walking around upright but certain angles really bring it into view.

There are all sorts of women in the adult entertainment industry. Some are looking for money and nothing else. Some are looking for fun. Some enjoy their work and some do it just to bring home an income. Some even detest it. Most are some combination of the above. Things are rarely black and white.

I have no way to know what Marni’s motivations are for doing this kind of work. I can simply report that she really aims to please. She is the type of provider that goes out of her way to make sure her customers are pleased.

Marni really excels when it comes to the art of the body to body slide. These nuru nuru slides have grown in popularity around the world over the last few years. This is likely due in some part to the spread of Japanese porn thanks to the internet. In my opinion the reason the act is so popular in porn is that it looks better than it feels. After the initial novelty wears off many men find the sliding of things like breasts on the back to be little more than a comfortable bit of bathing.

Some women are able to forge ahead however. For the most part this is limited to the best soaplands of Japan. Once in a while a star performer will also appear elsewhere. Marni is one such lady. Her body to body slide is top notch and probably the best available in Thailand today.

The rest of her services are also above par. She really puts in the work and that’s undoubtedly why she is rated number one by visitors of the No Hands Massage section at Mitu Massage. I give her four-and-a-half stars.
