Anecdotal but I dropped by Tiffany's on a Friday night a few weeks ago at like 2am...they were busy and there were only two girls available despite a larger roster advertised.

I've heard it's because of covid going crazy and inflation/xmas. Will be interesting what happens in Jan.
Two holes massage tables, caucasian/multi-nationality ladies, showers in every room, clothes off start of the session, some girls are also much more experienced and experts at using the two hole table - Bodyrotic offers some different services i.e. striptease, they have themed rooms such as the 'fantasy room'.
In fact, Bodyrotic was my first ever experience in RnT and I stayed fairly loyal to them for many years (they have had some absolute stunners who've given brilliant service over the years - from the days when they were in Five Dock to these days located in Camperdown)... but then I discovered one girl named Ariana, Eurasian stunner - she's apparently got Vietnamese, Italian and Australian bloodlines. Asian girls never did it for me, until I met her, and then I 'got it' so to speak.
Then I started looking for other options to see more Asian girls so came across 227 Broadway and Sydney Baby Massage after reading these forums. Thats also when I became much more service focused rather than worrying about the facilities and atmosphere (more on this later). :smile:
While I will still visit Ariana (she only occasionally does shifts now and quickly gets booked out) + Suki (another mixed Japanese hottie) + Jordana (Mediterranean stunner), I'm only likely to visit Bodyrotic once a quarter (if at all - and only likely if my other regular options have run dry).
Bodyrotic = $280 for 1 hour. Other places are over $300p/h now and over priced both for facilities and the quality of girls on offer.
Upmarket Bath House Crows Nest (?) = I know they are on the cheaper side ($200p/h or so), but haven't been there in a long time and haven't had any reliable intel on the girls and service level.
In conclusion - I'm not fussed on facilities and atmosphere, as long as the place is clean and if the rooms have wall mirrors + two hole tables that is an added bonus. Service is where it is at for me. Bodyrotic, I think, is still fair value across all facets (but opinion may vary for most punters), and Bath House may also be the same, but every other higher end RnT now seems to be over the $300p/h mark and I don't think the facilities, quality of girls and quality of service matches up to the price.
I was going to give it a rest with you, I rang the shop, you are total bullshit and they certainly know you and it's not good..I'll leave it there, make your own judgement Sibon has a big problem, if you believe this guy maybe you might wanna buy the Harbour Bridge...I guarantee you are not welcome there or Artarmon, if you have actually been there......Merry Christmas
coincidently i was also thinking about this
went to a regular MP one thats normally just HE offered but the massage lady offered CBJ and for $10 less than her usual quote "just for you"
Definitely agree with OP, popped into a shop two weeks ago, around 1:30pm? I was her first punter, had good rapport, instantly offered CBJ and even FS, even though she said she never usually did (no showers on premises). Super reasonable rate too.
Of course, I took it up, but still, there's been a squeeze in some areas. I think it also depends on the area you'll be going too; the CBD and surrounds probably already have less people than usual going in with flexible working arrangements, and now with inflation, it's hyper competitive out there.
I Guess with time it will get better. But prices will definitely go up when everything will be settled
Some known shops updating their WeChat moments with "Book fast, almost fully booked!" but when you ask for availability they will respond with the closest hour.
Inflation is ripping a hole in people's wallets and many RNT shops are doing "bait & switch" tactics with with fake pics or heavily Photoshopped old pics. One shop even recycles names and photos of MLs who no longer work there.
What I dislike about most ML these days is that even with 3 pineapples they don't let you explore their body. I'd rather go to an FS shop where the WL would rather the customer spend more time exploring her body to pass the hour.
I’ve been a customer at Lisa’s RnT joint at shop 19, 369 Victoria St Chatswood for 10 years. It’s upstairs at the Asian village next to Chase. I remember about 5-years ago, she had 4 girls on, plus herself and was busy all day, 7-days a week. Then Covid hit and business died. Since reopening, over the past 18-months she has struggled to find staff and even closed on Wednesdays. She’s open 7-days now, but is personally forced to be back on the tools as she can’t find anyone to work there as business is so slow. The girls she does find won’t clear $200 a day. Her long timer, the very naughty Linda has left for good and she was her money maker. She’s also jacked up the price to $80, and punters are just staying away. I’d be surprised if she lasts much longer.
Her staff all did HJ, but she would never do it herself.
Yes agree. Lisa is in her 50s and provides no extras. The other girl Anna is a real old boiler in her 60s and does do HJ and BBBJ if you’re desperate. Plus the $80 massage price is a mental block for punters.
She needs to recruit young Thai chicks, lower the price to $70 and give the girls free reign for extras. Plus advertise heavily on WeChat as you say plus these forums. Unfortunately, Lisa would be clueless on these things and the shop is dying a slow death
I called into a legit place the other day. Its my goto when I need a real massage. The ML said times are getting quite bad with so few customers they are contacting their regulars who have been seen for a while and they say they just cant afford it.
She told me that an earlier customer offered her $50 for a nude handy and she was tempted, but she was going to stay straight.
Yes I heard the same from the MLs. Not enough customers coming through the door. I guess too many shops around and some MLs jacking up their prices for extras that many guys can't afford to spread themselves around when they have other expenses and families to take care of. Tough times are coming!
Same sort of experiences for me lately too, all the shops I visit have plenty of girls available whenever I enquire and a few times I have been running over 30 mins early and of course the girl I booked is still free. Asked a few mamasans about it and they said it is very slow at the moment. Had a discount offered to me at 3 shops recently so I added it to the girls tip.
Good to see I can get in to see my favs at short notice but I would hate to see the shops start to fold one by one.
Hopefully it starts to pick up after the New Year.
It's more like when you jack up the extras. It becomes almost comparable to FS. 65 bucks for the 1 hour massage then trying to charge you $100-150 for full service, bbbj etc. You might as well go to a FS shop. At least those shops have showers, comfortable beds and a lot more foreplay.
Fucking on a massage bed is the worst man. Feels like me or the girl will fall off any minute.
It's something I never understood with businesses it's called a death spiral and I've seen it in other businesses as well. When they aren't doing as well, they tend to jack up the prices to compensate which in turn lowers the number of customers even more and the spiral goes on and on.
Look at Netflix for an example. Lost subscribers and decides to up the price.
A lot refuse to learn from history. Basically nothing is new, no matter great the new technology, in general its all happenned before.
I walked into a shop the other day, and the lass behind the register asked as I was leaving what was wrong as I hadn't bought anything (I am fairly regular there). I actually asked her for what I wanted, and she said oh sorry thy are now in a different place and proceeded to show me. Yes I bought what I wanted then and then saw something else I could use and got that as well. So whats the lesson ? Entice you regulars and treat them well, be reasonable and don't overcharge and they jus might spend the extra they were not intending to.
I see a lot of "older" ladies doing relatively ok, but their younger counterparts are starting to struggle because they know best (LOL). yeah right !!
Business is booming.
Girls are busy. Shops are making huge profits. New talent is always arriving. Punters are always willing to pay.
Vice ALWAYS does huge business.
The thing is how long can you hold not being service. Eventually the needs will come first then the brain will think of the price later.
