I want to clarify my original post, as I see there was unintended ambiguity in it. I never helped Donna wash her car. But this was only because she never asked me to, and if I hadn't of learned that she had already finished, I would have volunteered.
I parked my own car in their parking lot and got out. I had just come from work and I was not sure if I wanted to session or not. What I saw by the side of the building was a barefoot woman wearing a purple dress. She had a bucket. I assumed that she must have been washing her feet in the bucket. I did not see any hose, and I did not associate the car as being part of the scene.
In retrospect, I could have approached her. If I had perceived her as washing the car, I might have. But washing her feet, probably not. I would see that as more of a private act, and I saw that area of the property as being essentially private.
So I decided that I would session with her. So I entered the lobby and the girl who approached me was the one who's turn it was. I explained about the foot washing and the purple dress. They kept sending out additional girls, one at a time. I kept explaining. Finally one of them realized what must have happened, that I had seen Donna when she was washing her car. So they went and got her and she came out, with her high heels on now. What ensued was mind blowing and I want to write an article about it, and about my contacts with her in the years which followed.
The legend which followed from this was of me and Donna, wearing her purple dress, and washing her car.
Today I look at Rub Maps and the RA's seem to keep their names as they move from shop to shop. I don't think they should be saying as much as they do on Rub Maps. I think it could be getting shops closed and getting girls in trouble.
But anyway, back when, they used to always change names. So Donna would go on to have other names. But I could just look in an entertainment newspaper and start calling ad numbers and then I would recite Donna's names, and then I would explain how I had met her in Sunnyvale, and then the RA at the other end of the line would recite about the car washing and the purple dress. Sometimes I would have to speak of the car washing, but the girl on the other end of the line always knew about the purple dress. So this story was being repeated widely for more than a decade.
My reason for telling this here on this thread is to speak to the selections process. Obviously someone went and got Donna and explained that a guy was there who wanted a massage and he had seen you washing your car and he won't accept anybody else.
So in her mind, I would not even be in the lobby if I had not seen her. This probably was the truth. I did not even have any cash and so I had to credit card it, and they charged a premium for this.
But this is why as soon as we got into the massage room, we were in the center of it and melting into each others arms and kissing intensely. No need back her up against a wall or anything like that in this case.
I want to tell more of this, but I will save it for later.
But just to conclude about Donna for now, just as I was able to locate her before by using the telephone and telling the story and letting the other party complete it, I have also learned from multiple independent sources and some f2f observations that Donna has since passed away from leukemia. I continue to be saddened by this, particularly that I was never able to spend more time with her, to offer more of myself to her, to give her more money, and maybe to find some way of knowing her that would be beneficial to both parties. Donna did live a good life. She was more comfortable in the life she was leading and in the role she was serving than I have ever been for myself. Actually I feel this way about many of my RA's from that era, and some more recent ones.
I could not go further with any of them because I was married and because I had my own problems. I did not want to set any of them up as my mistress. I knew that this was a no no because it will always end up with the girl's feelings being badly hurt. This is when it can really bite back, and besides, it is just not how I want to live.
So I would let them make their Girl Friend Auditions. I did appreciate that, and I wanted to be able to accept. But I never did. They will go up to a point for people who are just there looking for what money can buy. But they made it very clear and obvious that they were going beyond this. Sometimes this did include various means of communicating that they did not need to be paid. They still got paid anyway, as it is a show of respect.
So the reason I am mentioning all of this, is that it does relate to all P4P venues. How it is likely to go depends entirely on the sort of rapport you have established with the girl, before you hand her the bulk of the money, and on how she perceives you and what you are there for.
If she sees you as just a guy looking for some sort of "service", to be administered by a generic young female, then it won't be much. But if she has come to understand you some, and if she sees you and she as having some special connection, then there is no limit to how far it might go.
So one of the worst ways is to be presented with girls in sequence, as is sometimes done in AMPs and Lingerie Modeling. You have to reject one before you get to see another. This is obviously most distasteful.
The next worst is to be shown a line up of all those available. If you pick one, she will not really know why you picked her. It is an ambiguous situation at best. You are also forcing them to all get on to their feet and to go through something rather negative.
A better way is if you can just get into their lounging area and see them as they are. Often I have just been able to get in the front door and escort myself into the lounging area. Sometimes I've said the right words to the receptionist and she has let me just stick my head in the door. This is less obtrusive. It is also better if one is just window shopping.
Then there is the issue of how much you can interact with them, besides just looking and then stating a preference. In some places, like South Bay, they don't want there to be any chance of anyone who walks in seeing anything conspicuous.
In San Francisco, I know that they don't care. One place had the selections room at the far back of the unit. So you would be escorted down a long hallway, to the room where the girls were just lounging around.
I told some of this story before. I selected one, girl A. But it turned out that she needed to complete an urgent telephone call. I should have just communicated with her and got some ascent from her, and then waited. But according to protocol girl A was obliged to pass me along to the others. Usually they just would have kept her hidden from view until she was actually available.
Another, girl B, emerged and was right in my face. She was fine, actually younger, and lacking nothing in form or face. Very quickly we were DFKing and the snaps popped open on her uniform dress and she had my clothes off. We somehow got behind a blanket which separated a little cubby hole from the selections room. She got me down on the floor on top of her and it was tab A in slot B and intense DFKing.
When someone had posted before about these "chair forts" and the early days of high mileage in Dallas and Houston, I had an immediate visceral response to it. Now I realize that this was because of this experience in San Francisco of being on the floor with the girl, in a little cubby hole and with only a blanket separating us from the rest of the girls and their lounging room.
This is more how it is done in San Francisco. The sessions start fast and conclude fast, as there is far less interest in plausible deniability. There was nothing lacking or deficient about what this girl B was doing. She was at full throttle from the very start. I think she had volunteered to stand in for A, and so she intended to really deliver. I just wish it had started differently, or that I had picked her, or that I had waited for girl A. Today I would be able to handle it better, and with either girl it would go very well.
Again though, I am explaining this to further show that the selections process is everything!
The best AMP sessions I have had always involved some manner of breaking the selections process open, having it happen outside the confines which had been designed for it.
There was Donna washing her car by the side of the building. There was the Korean girl in San Francisco, showing me her extreme eye makeup through this viewing hatch in the front door, but then being absent when they finally did open the door. She was busy with someone else. So she was obliged to let the others take me, and to stay out of view. But she had screwed them over with her front door games. I insisted on seeing her. So they brought her out and I insisted on waiting. She was already as giddy as a girl could be over what she had done.
I was watching the hallway as I waited. She passed by and did what duty required, spoke to me and tried to pass me along to the others. I was not interested in listening to such talk. I pulled her into the room and held her up against a wall for some gentle but purposeful DFKing. I didn't release her until I had a commitment that she would finish up and be back soon.
Another time was with another Korean girl who was cutting hair at another Sunnyvale AMP. I was just going to cruise them, to window shop. But through the window front I saw her cutting hair. Since no one else was around and she had her back to me, I watched her for quite a while, waiting to get to see her face. When I did, I decided to session. She was wearing this cute pink and white dress which had full skirting which came down almost to her knees, and matching pink high heeled sandals, the kind which have straps to make sure they stay on. She had petticoats under her dress.
When we got into the room I just continued talking to her and getting to know her and I didn't look like someone who wanted any kind of a massage. She didn't like being cornered and moved on, so I sat down. Finally she asked, "Do you want a haircut". I just kept looking at her and turned my head from side to side. I had already explained all about how I had been watching her through the window. She was very concerned about getting caught and she had not yet signed on to the idea that her job description included FS. She was even wearing panty hose. But after I declined the hair cut, her shoulders finally dropped, and what ensued was phenomenal. She had no idea how many of the others from that shop I had already done.
Other times the selection process was broken open just by doing window shopping. I would get in and get to see the girls, and often get a name from the one I wanted, and then explain that I would return. The idea was that I probably was not carrying any money. This was usually so. Then when I did return, the girl would already be giddy with anticipation. She could see that it meant more to me than it does to the guys who come looking for Happy Ending. She could see that it even meant more than it does to most of those looking for FS.
Most of the people who come into these places take what ever girl they get and then do what they are told, clothes off, take shower, lie face down on the table, and wait for the girl to return. Then they try to negotiate with the girl, from the position of lying down naked on the table. Usually they offer them money and generally speak to them as though they are women who sell sex and sexual services for money.
What Donna would say years later about doing the vast majority of the customers was "don't feel anything". Others have described it to me in exactly the same way.
What I regret today was that I was not able to be more available to all of these women, that I did not see them more, pay them more money, and also eventually set it up so that we had some sort of mutually beneficial and off the clock relationship. This really was what so many of them indicated that they wanted. I appreciated this, but I was not in a position to oblige.
I believe that this issue is why some, including some regular TUSCL posters, treat them so badly from the beginning. "I'm not here to buy drinks." "Do you do extras?" "Do you grind the whole time during a lap dance?"
Well yes, if you treat them that way from the beginning, then you aren't going to find your self in the situation of experiencing regret because the girl is indicating in every way she can that she wants an outside relationship, but you are not able to oblige.
So I go into all this to emphasize how important the selections process is. Through it you establish what sort of relationship you intend to have with the girl, why you are there, what you are looking for, how you intend to treat her, and why it is that you are picking her instead of another, and why it is that she might find you interesting to know. All of this can allow her to open herself up more and let it become more intimate.
It is going to be similar in an AMP, a Lingerie Modeling place, or an Adult Entertainment place. You also have to deal with the same issues in the Nevada Wild Wild West styled houses where they offer lineups.
But now some of these Nevada houses are adding strip clubs. And of course the TJ Hong Kong Bar is a strip club. A strip club is the one place where it is designed to work better. In a strip club there need not be any particular structure to it. You can fraternize almost any way you want. You will usually be passing out some money doing this, but it does not need to be much, not at the start. You can interact some with all of the women. You can conceal which one it is you like. You can let a couple of them start competing for your money and attention. There aren't really many rules. At least their needn't be.
Now of course the girls will want to get dances, and get them as quickly as possible. So in some places, they are the ones getting aggressively friendly in order to do this. I do plan on being out to some of these infamous places too.
But often, if the girl wants a dance, she knows that she will have to spend some time talking in order to get it. This is how I have always been able to make it work in San Francisco. But then this is also why I would get there, riding up on the Cal Train and walking for over 1 hour, as the doors were being opened.
You can also give her sitting tips. These she will not have to cut with the house. In some local places I have just handed the girl the full dance amount, just to keep sitting and talking with me. You find ways to make it work. It is the lack of rules and the fact that both parties have the option of being quite forward, that allow it to work so well.
Now of course the best is what Jestrite50 has submitted, around post 23:
tuscl.net
and then Duke69 has gone on to further comment on this:
tuscl.net
This is analogous to the best of what I was able to make happen in AMPs. But a key difference is that in Strip Clubs, there needn't be anything built into it and designed to prevent this. And in the most extreme of Strip Clubs, it is the girls who are this aggressive.
So about how this would pertain to Aphrodite's Lingerie Modeling in Portland, I note that it is the third rated TUSCL, after the Hong Kong Bar and Adelitas. So what could this place have? I suspect that the back room action is better. Though I have no specific information and I am not trying to pin anything on that place, I would suggest that they might offer slower more relaxed sessions and things like MSOG.
But where it will always fall short will be in the front room part, the selections process, as compared to a Strip Club. Even if they do offer a line up, or if they do let you talk to the girls some, or whatever, it is still you partaking in this and hence putting all the girls on the spot and making them jump through hoops. This structure makes for a negative start.
In a Strip Club there really is no protocol. You can just hang and play and see what happens. You never have to reject any of the girls. You don't really ever have to express any absolute preference either. You can just play, and be giving them some money for being there, and it will work out. So what happens in the back room should be far better. But I still fear that most of these places, at least in the US, fall short in the back room part of the offering.
Do others have stories of how they have been able to work the front room selection process and set up something phenomenal, which they would like to share? It could be SC's, AMP's, Lingerie Modeling, Nevada Houses, or anything else like this. Do others have ideas as to how such places could be improved? Does anyone disagree with my premise that SC's have the greatest potential for the best front room selections process?
