| « Body Washers Korean Style | First Massage: Barron's Barber Shop Bangkok » |
Generally, I have been very disappointed with massage parlors in Manila, Philippines. My first visit for a body rub was inside a Pasay Hotel - I think it was Grand Boulevard Hotel - called Skyline. It was a fishbowl setup on the *th floor of a large 3 star hotel. Massage girls looked attractive and their parlor was featured as the best massage in the Philippines in magazines like FHM and on local boards. After 10 minutes into the session I was asked by my masseuse if she could stop massaging me. Her wrists were already hurting. Hahaha!!! Well, I was here for something else to be honest, but you can imagine my disappointment. What a messed up work ethic.

Follow up:
So we started some foreplay and while we were at it she asked for more money. Bad trip. I was even more disappointed and wanted to leave. Suddenly, she became very friendly, but my first Manila massage experience was wasted, already. I tried the place 2 more times with different girls, but disappointments again. Online boards were talking about Ongpin Street massage parlors in Binondo a lot. That's Manila's Chinatown just north of Pasig River. Pretty clean part of the city and relatively safe. Most parlors here are very big and dedicated to local customers. Prices were around 1500 Piso all inclusive with more attractive or new girls being priced a couple of hundred Piso higher.
Barcelona Massage Binondo
Barcelona was one of the largest and most famous fishbowl massage places. Massages were acceptable, but not outstanding. They used the cheapest oil and kept it in the fridge until they started to use it. Not a sensual experience to get a body rub with freezing cold babyoil. Those shops around Plaza Sta. Cruz were more upscale brothels for locals who wanted to use lounges and look at fishbowl girls while hiding behind windows. They looked more like conspirative meeting places for questionable business than health spas . The massage and sex were very mechanical with seasoned working horse therapists who would hardly ever smile. They were not unfriendly, but not accommodating either, indifferent would be the expression to specify their mood properly. I have met lot of girls in the Philippines from bars, datings sites, beer houses and cams. All of them were smiling and funny, but not girls from Binondo brothels. I came here 3 times, but my disappointment about Manila massage sex was so overwhelming that I never bothered to try again.
Next Stop: Pasay
Some time later I was recommended Korean style massages in Pasay's Core Town. I will write about the best Asian handjobs that I received in my next massage sex diary post. It was an unexpected treat.
