having been away from the game for a while, i decided to play again. however, this review brings up a very sensitive point - raids. that was a main reason for retiring. my visit to an amp on astoria blvd made me somewhat nerverous, but i went ahead with my visit (reviewed earlier). this week i decided to try any place in the 160's. i was very surprised to see that some paces were closed by the police while others were open. i felt like a sore thumb. white middle-aged guy walking up and down the block where there are only asians. 2 places let me in, then said no one was available. maybe they thought i was a cop. the spa i stayed in made me nervous. upon giving the house fee she immediately asked me for a tip. never was i asked for a tip when paying the house fee. i stayed, but only afer playing with her braless-babes. anyway, the point is, how can you enjoy your time when the place could be raided?
I have been going to AMPS for 40 years and have always felt secure, safe and enjoyed my time there.
On one occasion I was caught in a raid. There were maybe 5 LE coming through the back door with pomp and noise and authority. There were two LE's with girl's in separate rooms. One excused himself to use the bathroom which signaled his buddies into action.
I was still fully clothed and not in a room yet. I just realized they were all hyped up and crazy so I got super calm, displayed my hands and sat down. They put me in the waiting room, rounded up the girls -- 5 or 6 maybe. They knew the names of the girls they wanted. Probably from one of those AMP boards that you might have heard about where gentlemen of leisure enjoy illustrating in very graphic, minute detail all manner of illicit illegal sexual activity that took place between consenting adults and including the provider's name, country of origin, age, breast size (natural or man-made), pubic hair landscape along with quality of vagina aroma, dreams and aspirations, number of children, married or single... (hello) (LOL)
Anyway, they decided on the culprits. (did not take everybody away.) Asked me for my license and asked me if I was the boss or owner? I guess that would make me the papasan. I said "no" of course. Asked me a lot of questions. I pointed most respectfully to the certificate/license on the wall and stated that I am visiting this fine establishment as I have in the past for the sole purpose of being a recipient of the services to be rendered lawfully sanctioned by the State of New York described on the license. And further stated that to be issued such license one must have attended an accredited school and later passed a State of New York examination. Remained very respectful, matter of fact but also not wimpy. Because it is what it is. I am committing no crime whatsoever.
After the initial hardcore "we the police" and they had their two girls by names, and looked at all ID's, they left me and the remainder girls behind and took the two they wanted away with instructions on where and when and how to retrieve them.
While they had us all sitting in the waiting room, remaining calm, I questioned the officers on what the problem might be and I remained quite sober and respectful and myself and the officer gents exchanged some light humor. I thanked the officers for being so professional and handling the matter with dignity after the initial "scare barge" (which is understandable because they never know what lies behind that door; possibly a coke-head with a gun)
Did not stay with the other girls to receive my massage that day. However, the following day returned and received the massage I needed which was interrupted the prior day by the undercover cops from one of the girls who was arrested the day before. She filled me in on the details. (and possibly the safest AMP on earth. Fat chance of raiding the same AMP on two consecutive days.)
Hey, if that was the worst thing that ever happened to this poor bastard, I would consider myself the "Luckiest man on the face of this earth." Only after Lou Gehrig, of course. (The Iron Horse)
