No more handjobs?

Sort of an offshoot of this thread in the Spa Section:

http://www.utopiaguide.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=20227

It used to be, at the Harmony and various other clubs, the handjob was the staple of relief, and other "extras" were fewer and further in between. Then, more and more spots became "more open". For a lot of guys, that was great, since that's what they wanted. But for a different group of guys, that really is what they were after. Girls who only wanted to give HJ's were "phased out" of a lot of places, and (from what I can see) an awful lot of the girls who remain, only want to give more, and really don't have much "HJ skill" even if you can convince them to give you that service.


Another part of this issue is that as a result, there's a whole group of girls who used to enter these venues "knowing" they the weren't going to be "whores" because "I only give handjobs". It's not clear how much of an impact the constricting of this conduit has cut down on the inflow of a certain type of "dancer" into "higher service activities".

At the same time, a number of "non-undergrund" spots, which are much more "HJ oriented" (and where extras can sometimes be had, but that aspect is UG/UTR) seem to be flourishing. Out on LI, it appears that the average $ per shift at such places, for the majority of girls, is exceeding the $ at the UG spots where much "higher mileage" is de rigeur.

And at a number of the UG spots, there appears to be a shift away from a certain group of guys who always used to be regulars back in the "Golden Days of Handjobs" (yeah, no one ever called it that. It was the "Golden Age of Lapdance Places"... but i hope my emphasis makes my point). I think that, just as much as there were always girls who wanted to think that they weren't hookers because all they gave was handjobs, there are/were a group og guys who didn't consider themselves Johns because all they got was HJ's.

Before I go off even more and totally bore everyone (too late?), I'll note that on more than a few occassions I let "dancers" know that I'd rather have DFK and a HJ than a CBJ. I think the ability to get girls who are good at both those activities, or even willing to try, have greatly diminished in the recent past.

I saw the same phenomenon in Houston AMPs. It used to be that anything above rub and tug had to be searched out. Now everyone seems to do full service and the quality of hj's (and massage) has come down dramatically.

The whole cursory (and these days, terrible) massage got to be so annoying that towards the end I generally skipped it. Some workers refused to let me, though.

Yes, it's obvious

I used to drop in over at the Harmony often, then Tina's, then FStop, then you know where.

I stopped going when the girls would treat me like dirt if I only wanted a lap dance. Even a BJ wasn't enough for these greedy ho's. If I didn't cum after 30 seconds of disinterested sucking they'd get angry.

Heck if I could come that easily I'd beat off and save the money.

PS: And don't get me wrong, I have all the sympathy in the world for these girls, but when they treat you like an ATM all bets are off.

totally agree

Nice thread. AFAIK there is a place for quality GFE where GF means not-a-ho.

I used to love HeavenlyExit when it was an upscale HJ establishment. Saw some real talent there and rarely dropped a cnote on a visit.

On one AMP stop in NY last week I got a menu. Well pronounced, clear and too loud for my liking: " $$ hj $$ bj $$ fs what you want?" She seemed nice, but a bit odd.

I actually paused for too long, cause I was caught off guard. I knew it was a mistake, but asked for the HR experience.

"what you no like me? Fck you, go find old lady for hj. You want old lady? I get you owner; she do hj". This btch was raw, and I left.

it was an amp, which used to mean massage not hos. Times they have a changed.

HBreakrs in Bloomfield - same deal. Lap dance? Sure. only to find it aint a lap dance anymore - it's a hard sell for a hj/bj behind aflimsy curtain with some dude watching from the corner. The hj sukked, so I can only imagine how bad the bj would have been.

LI HJ

It seems that a certain class of UG worker are making significantly more money in LI compared to NYC UG venues. They are simpy going where the money is.

Well, that's part of my point: that it seems like it's not even as if they are makin significantly more money doing more than HJ's. the LI girls are actually making MORE just doing HJ's. that's one of the biggest reasons i founf the whole topic to be "interesting" in the first place (I always think market anomalies tend to be interesting topics for discsussion, and understanding what causes them usually leads to a much better understanding of the market in general)

It would help if we had some actual rates so we could see if these girls were simply busier at the mainly HJ joints you speak of, or whether guys were "overpaying" for HJ's, or what.

I mean, i could easily see why a girl could make more money at a HJ spot if she was getting $40 a HJ as opposed to waiting all night for some guy to decide he's willing to fork over $100 to fuck her.

Supply and Demand in LI

Supply in LI is low
Demand is High.
Therefore, Price is High

Maybe they took massage classes?

My thinking is that many of these young ladies realized that if what a lot of guys wanted was just a handjob, they could probably make more, see less guys and just have to give a 30 or 60 minute massage. Christ, have you seen how many more 'FBSM' adds vs. FS ads there are on Craigslist? It's almost like everyone is trying to shy away from doing FS is they know that a guy would be just as happy w/ a 30 minute back rub and a slow R&T afterwards.

a) I'm not sure this is accurate period

b) You'd have to "normalize" for repeat ads. if the $180 HJ girls are doing no business so they sit at hope all day long posting multpiple ads (which is closer to "fact" than supposition), and the FS girls are getting business and therefore posting less, it doesn't really lead you to the same conclusion, does it?

c) What's interesting is that what you are seeing more and more of (well, I think it has plateaued, but there was a recent "bump") is massage girls who are offering what they refer to as "quickie massages", but are obviously just HJ's (How can you give a massage and a HJ in 15 minutes? For that matter, how can you do it in 30?).

It might be because supply is low, it certainly isn't because demand is high (relative to Manhattan? you're kidding, right?). What the biggest difference is "public acess": In NYC everything is "underground", and even if you know where someplace is, you might not be able to get in, while in LI, the places have ads all over, billboards, neons lights.... they're like fucking Casinos.

There were several LI peep HJ girls at the party last night, and I can GUARANTEE they were doing more than HJ's. Often what they do is venue specific and not really limited by what they're actually willing and able to do. I'm fairly certain that they made more money in Midtown Manhattan than they'll ever make in a night in Bumfuck, Suffolk County.

There we at least 2 that I saw at the Wednesday night Gobble Party. One who currently works there and another girl who recently left C.B. and came back to the UG scene.

Did either have any comments on how much they were making in various venues?

The going rate at the HJ joints out on LI is $50.

I didn't talk to either about their price structure but if you remember our conversation at the spot last wednesday night. The young lady sitting on the couch between us made refrence to how much she earned on a Saturday or Sunday night.

Are you talking about the Club Babylon type places?
