Being an avid reader of this discussion board, I've noticed that there are several posters that have mentioned taking part in other entertainment avenues, such as massage parlors and escorts.
I personally think I get more enjoyment (bang for the buck) by going to strip clubs (and especially OTCing), than I would get going to a massage parlor, or enlisting the services of an escort.
Admittedly, I've never been to a legitimate massage parlor (not the type that is really a front for a full service brothel), but unless the massages are like the asian massages that I've seen vidoes of (where the girl gets naked, oils both you and her up, then climbs aboard to rub herself all over you), I don't think I would get as much enjoyment from a massage. Is there even two-way touching? I don't even have much of an idea of the usual pricing structure, so I guess I can't say that much about it, one way or another.
I HAVE had several escorts in my "career", and although I've definitely enjoyed myself, I don't think it's as much fun as playing with the dancer of my choice. There are several negatives with an escort. In my experiences, I've picked the girls on-line from pics, which was definitely a fun process in itself, but in at least one instance, it was NOT the girl that I picked who showed up, and though still f$#kable, was a little disappointing. Also, due to paranoia about being caught in a potential sting operation or being robbed, it's a bit on the scary side. The escorts that I've had also are efforting to make the "transaction" as quick as possible, a definite negative. I have a hard time worrying about what/who she was with before me, which is a turnoff. Then there's money... though maybe cheaper than some of the marathon (all nighters, etc.) OTCs that have had, it's still pretty expensive when you consider that it's for one hour. Usually, anything extra (multiple acts) will cost you more money, too. Out of the half-dozen-ish escorts that I've experienced, only one was a true GFE, and memories of Amanda (Houston) still can keep me warm on cold nights.
IMO, spending a lot of time with a dancer, especially in an OTC rendezvous, seems to be more worthwhile, and returns the most enjoyment. Personally, an hour with a hot girl (an escort) is no where near long enough, and just leaves me frustrated and wanting/needing more. Where as a marathon session with a dancer is more relaxed; no need to watch the clock (at least not as much), and tends to be far more of a GFE. I'm already familiar with the girl before hand, so I'm not wondering if she's going to pull out a badge. I don't have to worry about who she was with just before me, 'cause I'm the only one. No surprises about what she looks like. In my experiences, I'm not having to pay extra money for multiple acts (having sex multiple times, taking pics, oral play, etc.).
Does anyone have any thoughts? I assume most of us here are going to be pro-club / dancer, but I know at least one of you (was it FONDL?) prefers the masseuse.


I've tried just about everything, and for me none of them, including OTC, can compare to a night at a strip club. With most other "avenues", I've known after just one experience that it wasn't anything I wanted to repeat. They had very little of the spontaneous fun that comes with even a mediocre time with a bunch of strippers, all acting like bad girls.
However, I know I'm not the same as you, Doug. And I know that you definitely are allowed to touch at most massage parlors, so that might be right up your alley.
