BACKGROUND AND INFO FOR THOSE CONSIDERING TRYING(you can skip of you just want the good stuff): I've been fantasizing about this for years. It's not that I can't get laid, I'm an attractive man in my mid twenties with a girlfriend, I just wanted to experience what it was like. I wanted to get it out of my system, try it once, but I think I may have developed an addiction… The story begins yesterday: a slow day at work meant I had plenty of time to mess around on the internet. My new job pays well and I finally have enough money to splurge on myself. The idea struck me that now was as good a time as any to finally get my happy ending. So, after after some cruising of backpage, I found a place that I thought looked just like what I was looking for. I thought. I call ahead and go there straight from work, telling my girlfriend I need to work late. I get to the place, an unmarked door above a dry cleaner. I'm buzzed in and the lady asks if I've been there before, I say no. She asks if it's my first massage. I reply "yes." I'm both excited and nervous at this point and it shows. She tells me "massage only." I agree, thinking is standard. They're not going to just say "you want a happy ending" the woman takes me info the room, closes the door and I undress. She is in her late 40s, and not really what I was expecting. After an hour back and leg massage she instructs me my time is over. I look disappointed but she implies next time will be better. I pay and leave, very disapointed. "That was a wash" I think, I just wasted $60. I decided I had my experience, it wasn't what I expected, I tried and failed and that's was it… at least until that night. Unable to sleep, I decide to dig deaper, do some research. Reddit had some great information, and I discovered a nifty web site dedicated to erotic massage parlors:RubMap. They show reviews of places and what they offer. The sheer volume of places within 10 miles of me was astounding. I couldn't believe it. I narrow my search to places within 20 minutes of me and there are hundreds (I live and work north of NYC.) I then narrow my search. I decide if I'm going to do this, I want a place that offers a variety of services. I find a place with a great rating. The free version of the site only shows reviews from a few years ago,and I want to see the recent reviews, so I pay the $15 for a 1 month membership. The reviews are all positive, and I decide this is the place to go. I also did some research on how to go about asking for things, and how to behave. It is important to be confident, don't act nervous, don't ask about anything sexual before the massage starts and never tell them its your first "massage," unless you want to waste $60 on mediocre back rub.
