View Full Version : General talk The changing tastes of Brisbane punters

The Brisbane 'scene' has changed in the short time I have been punting. It wasn't that long ago that we would go to a shop on the expectation that we 'might' get 'lucky' and be able to pay an asian mumma for a quick HJ in the last few minutes of the massage time.
Now I can go to any number of well known shops, showers ready in each room, get a line-up to select and get a sweet young asian girl who's body has been unburdened by childbirth.
But this also means shop owners are having problems filling shifts with the SYTs that I enjoy.
I've had two recent visits in the past two months to the newer operating model which shops closely resembles a brothel. Everything is a certainty.
I do have a set of high quality girls that I frequent at these shops but the new names on the roster are also worth investigating from time to time.
i've been disappointed to see some of the lower quality of women that fill these other shifts obviously just trading off the reputation of the shop's high performers. For instance consider Acqua which often has a well regarded high performer of Vietnamese heritage. That shop also offers third rung non-performers also of Viet heritage who are definitely doing brand damage by being on the roster. Little Massage House at Indooroopilly seems to have just given up on getting good staff. Possibly they cannot retain staff due to lack of bookings and lack of return customers. Four Seasons has had a good reputation for a long time but according to the reviews even a few girls on their roster are not doing the right things by punters.
So, am I going wrong by circulating within girls at the same shop, if my preferred girl is not available should I be changing shop completely? While I see the issue as being one of supply of good talent as a consumer I want to take some action to access what good talent there is available.
Tips and experiences appreciated.

All up to your individual preferences.
If you like the shop / fits into your schedule, no harm trying different girls within the shop. If they aren't up to your "standard", that's important too, because the good defines the bad.
A friend I know only sees Thai girls, mostly to practise his Thai! Haha. A language lesson with extras, he calls it.
His regular is someone who used to teach Thai (I'm sure she looks good too).
It is always YMMV - I've tried some girls based off what I've read here and didn't experience the same thing. That's fine - nature of the industry and the human experience.

Classic stuff. That's what happened to me at Little Massage House. I went with shop fee+ FS and she was so shit in attitude that I ended up skipping the extras and the last quarter of the booked time. Seems good staff are hard to find.

Try and build yourself a team , I've had same issues.build through consistency always be nice , clean and attentive.Pick the beginners and train them up or let them train you.
You then have options .

Hopefully the sector will mature so those looking for FS can just go get, and those -like myself- who really appreciate a good massage with lots of TT and a happy ending can find that too. I think we're stuck in the middle a lot of the time, with different expectations of the ML and client.

Sadly, the extras culture lives on in Brisbane. Here's hoping that one day, at massage parlours, you can pay a single amount and its all inclusive.

There are a number of places who do this already according to their locanto ads.
I personally like just paying for the massage and then getting a feel for the situation and if she is worth the extra money. So many times u get a hot girl only to find out the thing u were looking forward to is of limits.

first punt this week was also interesting. in the discussion accepting payment for the shop fee she asked what extras I wanted. At that time I still had her pegged as a Vietnamese momma. I committed to a NHJBS only and see what happen. She then continued to whinge and pester. While she was out of the room I took $100 off my suggest offering and left her with just the agreed amount.
I think as punters with still enjoy the allure of the conquest.
BUT not all shops have to do everything. Make their marketing position and have that as the expected standard. Don't have individual girls applying their own 'strategies' that they saw on Reddit

Rant - I am sick of these so called massage shops that you go to and they operate on the premise that extras are the main event and their pathetic massage is an add on, if you're lucky. It's called a massage shop. I know they're not 'professional masseuses' but most used to provide a decent massage, and the anticipation of extras was a bonus. Now it's like walking into a brothel. These girls have become lazy. If they're not going to provide or encourage massages then stop calling yourself a massage shop. Rant over.

This is why i sometimes like going to the shops with older ladies. They tend to still give that "massage is the priority and hope they can talk me into a hj after vibe".
They know they r past it and do their utmost for a return customer.

You are going to the wrong shops. If you go into any of the headline shops on this forum, T5, Star, Aurora and expect a massage then you are missing the point. If you want massage then going to any of the legit Thai massage joints.
Same goes for girl recruitment. The headline shops on this forum, T5, Star, Aurora are stocked with girl that will give you FS without any issue.

You are wrong, plenty of these girls offer good, trained massage and not all of them provide full service, check my review at after report.

I can only go from my personal experience. I've never been turned down for FS at the shops I mentioned.

I agree. If they advertise as a massage shop then you should be able to go there and expect at least a reasonable massage. If they want to operate as a brothel then they should advertise/promote themselves as a brothel.

Hear, hear… well spoken! Like a corner cafe, you visit for the quality of coffee, good customer service, and money well spent - because they are up against the branded cafes. If the first couple of samples taste nice, you return regularly. On the rare occasion and if you flirt well, you might get the cute barista number and sexy time after a date or two. But, it is like walking into the cafe and the barista is demanding sexy time up front and maybe you will get a coffee afterwards that is just ungrounded beans in hot water, no sugar or milk. If you decline, she refunds you for the coffee, and tells you to go to the nearest mall for a real coffee.

So the consensus seems to be that the shops need to be more consistent with their marketing position. Either operate as a brothel or as a massage shop.
Make it obvious and simple for us simple punters.

No incentive to openly advertise as a brothel & lose the pretence of being a massage/relaxation shop.. what brothel charges a $70-$80 "entry " fee..

Yes, for many Guaranteed success is now available in many places.
But for me, I still want some Mystery , and Surprise.
It's Ok to have some idea, but let's allow a little more Creativity and Spontaneity to also come into play.
