As I always say to the newbies:
"Watch for trends..."
While you can't take one review at face value if 4 out of 5 reviews are positive, ODDS ARE you'll have a good time. If 4 out of 5 reviews are negative, you're risking your money.
WRT YMMV, I've had every combination of possible experiences:
1.) MPA was consistent from session one.
2.) MPA started off hot then the sessions slowly declined.
3.) MPA started off cool, then things progressed as we got to know each other.
My observation is that number 3 is the most prevelant, especially with many of the shy Asian MPA's. It takes many several sessions to warm up physically and even emotionally. Alot of clients go in guns blazing to the first session and are disappointed because of high expectations.
It's finding that balance of respecting the MPA's limits with having the confidence to ask for what you want. That balance only comes with experience.
Anyway, I'm glad you're having fun and look forward to the rest of your reviews
