after years living in LA, i moved back to Brasil. one day a few months back, a friend told me that we'd go to a massage parlour. i assumed (naively, i reckon haha) that we were going to a more legitimate place since i was complaining about being really tired
we go to a residential area in São Paulo and until then, no biggie. we enter the place (which is basically a reformed house) and there's a lot of guys waiting at the lobby and then i hear that there's gonna be a presentation of the masseuses. oh boy haha
i found out the "hard" (pun intended haha) way that "casa de massagem" (massage house, in Portuguese) is pretty much a place to get yourself a happy ending. not sure if this is the same all around Brasil, but here in São Paulo, there are many such establishments that have websites on the net. there, you'll find the masseuse section and you'll see photos of women with their faces covered/masked and wearing lingerie (or at times showing nudity)
anyway, the ladies are brought out to the lobby and meet each of the potential guests. you pick the one you'd like and are whisked into a room for your happy ending. there isn't any real massaging done here; junior gets all of the attention haha
depending on the neighbourhood, you'll end up paying R$150 (about US $75) towards R$300 (aboout US $150) for an hour's romp. unlike the Asian joints in LA, where you pay the $60 "entrance fee" and then get to enter, you just enter the location, receive the "service" and pay whatever price that's being asked by the house afterwards
the one i went (and now frequent lol) is the R$150 version. the location itself is in a decent part of town; the insides need some freshening up but hey... you're not there for the décor! each room has a queen-size bed with a bathroom. "four-hand massages" (two-girl shag) are available at most of the establishments. they give a free courtesy drink (water, soda, beer) and also have a separate bar where you can purchase other drinks and snacks
now, for the main bit...
after you choose your lovely masseuse and enter the room, you get undressed and take a shower. the masseuse will take a quick shower after you're done. then, it's fun time. each masseuse definitely have their characteristics and you're not gonna always get one that's "enthusiastic"; from my experience at this particular house, i've found the lighter-skinned girls (white) usually are the most uptight. the more willing ones are usually the morena (brown/black) girls or the ones with obvious physical qualities (big boobs etc)
a typical "session" will have FK, BBBJ followed by the main event (which is covered). if you so incline, DATY is ok. again, what experience you may get depends on the girl servicing you
for me, paying about US $75 for all of this is quite a bargain hehe
