L'Abandon, 6698 Christophe-Colomb,(514) 270-9494

Tried l'Abandon (based on the eforum.xxx link at the end of this post) but was deeply disappointed.

Receptionnist was a guy (turnoff). Appointment with Rachel, booked 1hr. massage for $50. Figured an extra $20 would guarantee a release.

Not the case. Took a shower, lay on the table and Rachel came in and rattled off 4 options. The first was a nude massage ($20 extra), the second (nude + touch =$40), the third included a HJ ($60), 4th was a thai ($80).

Having already paid $50 to the male receptionist, I did not want to dish out another $60. If I have to pay $110 for a message, might as well get an escort for a little more. My max is in the $75 range and I try and stick to it.

So I told Rachel that I did not bring more than $20 extra as I only wanted a massage with simple release and no other extras. She told me it was impossible. I told her I could get this elsewhere for that price. She countered with: "Where, at Russian joints or Chinese places: they're all run by pimps. A girl here at least is allowed to keep all the money she makes on extras, but nothing from the money paid to the receptionist." So of course, she pushed for the $60-80 extras to no end, how good a job she would do, etc. etc.

It was quite a turnoff for me to have to argue this and really lost the mood of being massaged. I honestly did not have any other money on me. Rachel suggested I could pay by interac. Right on, I'm going to pay with an interac card at a shady massage parlour.
We kept hitting a wall so she finally said she would talk to the male deceptionist about it to see if something could be done but told me I could not get my money back (although I never did ask for a reimbursement). She left the room.

I had assured her I didn't want her to do any work for free. And I kept my word as I got off the table and dressed. I had a lot of time to dress, she never came back. So I exited the room, walked across the reception area where there was no one and simply left. This was the most expensive shower I ever had.

A word of caution: my experience does not mean the place is no good. It only means that if you are not planning to spend $100 ++, the place is nothing more than an expensive ssjs. If money is no object, then it might be for you. For the $50 I paid, never got to see Rachel's body, only her face which is average (looks nicer on the website).

In the future, it would be appreciated if more attention were paid to pricing including release as I doubt anyone would want to pay $110 for a ssjs, which unfortunately I had no way of knowing based on the positive reviews here:

I have been reading eforum.xxx for a couple of day (just found it !), and I thought I'd share my FIRST massage experience, which was at Abandon.

Being my first time, I had NO idea what to expect. I though the 50$ price for an hour included the massage, the handjob or some sort of sexual add-on (silly me !)

So when I got there I was kinda caught off guard, having only 70$.

Finally, after negociation with Jessica (advertised at 5'4", 105 lbs, 34D, more like 5'4", 115-120 lbs, 34C Silicon). She is a very nice blonde, with good body. She looks about 30-35 years old. Her good manners and smile make her very sexy.

I settled for a simple massage for half an hour. Yeah she gave me the same line as the other, I only get the extra money, etc etc.
So in I go after parting with 40$ for the entrance and 20$ to Jessica for a massage.

I have to say she is very good at massage. She took courses in massotherapy and it shows.
My huge surprise came (!) at the end, when she said to me that she found me very cute, and that I was gonna get a lot more than what I had payed for. She ended up giving me a thaï massage, and a VERY nice handjob.
I consider myself lucky that I was her kind of man, because by reading boards I understand that YMMV. But I am very polite, respectful, and am lucky enough to have a muscular body that women seem to enjoy.

So Jessica is a definite thumbs up for me.

Daphné, a girl who used to work there, once told me that Belinda is the boss girlfriend and that one day he got mad at her because she gave a BJ to a customer.

Good luck and enjoy yourself.

Has anyone noticed the new girl Josiane on their web site? She looks familiar. I wonder if she's the same Josiane that worked at Monaco and Club Santé? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

What Bob Crane told about me like maybe i'm a MP owner or have a girl friend work etc etc ... not truth. I had my own experience. Like a lot of you I like asian ladies. More since I'm working in Asia and try to get those traditionnal massage in Thailand, Vietnam etc etc.

Those place massage is inside the culture and normal to get a massage. I got some fantastic massage and feel free and confortable after, that without any sex.

For sure I try the Thai massage in Bangkok, nothing in comparaison with thai massage in Montréal. I will like to find a place like in Thailand or in Japan.

I can understand those ladies. The value of a 20 $ it's important for them, specially because they cannot speak any word in english or in french. They have no choice to accept. Their dream suppose to be truth but hard to get.

We are not mère Thérésa but we must to try to be in their place.

Hope I still not offend any body
