Micros vs AMPs

[Qster]

We all know that if we are looking for more than just a good massage, we may have to look beyond the semi-legit spas.

A survey from an AMP noob (me), which one provides better a better product today (2022) and which one is better value. At one point in time, I was an AMP addict, I frequented Cloud9, Fort Road, Temptation, Aristocrat etc. Then I discovered Micros and never looked back. I frequent Micros, may be even addicted to them. At $240 to $260 an hour for SOPAM with a 20something SP, I like the product and the value. I just haven't been to the AMPs enough lately to have a good comparison. Are the quality of the ladies at AMPs improving? Are they still aunties asking for ridiculous prices making negotiation mandatory (I HATE haggling). Are the service level adequate at AMPs (i.e. no shortchanging of time)? AMP ladies asking for $300+ an hour to start, the constant upsell to 4 hands, the bait-and-switch with young greeter and old providers, the constant rush to get you out the door in 20 min. when you paid for an hour; these are a few things I experienced at AMPS which shifted me to micros.

No need to name specific spas or ladies, just curious if the consensus here is that AMPs are competitive with micros or not.

If you have no idea what an AMP, a micro or SOPAM is, feel free to ask in private.

I flip flop from massage to micro and back.
I like a 1.5 hr massage and with service, $240 is a lot.
Micro for an hour with more complete service and a very casual massage leaves me feeling just as fulfilled when I leave.
And just as light in the wallet.

What is micro?

What is micro?

I also have this question. I hear it mentioned a lot but I’m not sure what it would be or how I would find out about it. Are they the places that run out of private residences instead of commercial spaces?

I think there are pros and cons to each. I have had both poor and great service from both. I find both establishments feature a revolving door of personnel; although, lately I have seen a few of the AMP’s appear to have a few regulars that have been there for a year plus.

I like the anonymity of the AMP, as I can walk in no appointment, no phone number that can be be traced or held on file. Also, if I walk in and don’t see what I like, I can walk out.

I also have found the service providers to range in age. This past year I have noticed a few younger girls at the AMP‘S. What I mean by this is late 20’s to late 30’s and to this old fart, I consider that young.

Unlike as some on this board have stated, I have never been met by a young person, shown to a room, only to be baited by an older person to come in. I have on a couple of occasions had a second person come in and want to join for an up-charge. Now when I go, I tell the woman I’m with that I do not want anyone to join us and this has been respected.

I find the SOPAM to be more prevalent at micros, but I have Had this service many times at the AMP. Micro providers almost always provide bbbj, whereas, this is a hit and miss at AMP, unless you are willing to offer to pay $20 - $60 more.

SOPAM is missing from the sex worker dictionary that I found. My search engine only came up with "Special Olympics Pennsylvania Area M". Might be a local thing. Please DM me or spell it out for all the noobs.

“Standard Operating Procedure @ Asian Micros”
Usually in shower

Here are my own personal definitions (others may see it differently):

AMP = Adult Massage Parlors, a licensed business with a permanent store front with licensed(?) masseuses working out of it, safest from the law.
Incall - A permanent location with (usually) a single permanent licensed(?) escort working out of it, still pretty safe. Visiting escort may operate out of a hotel room. Frequently single to avoid "trafficking" issues; i.e. if two escorts travel together, both can be charged with trafficking.
Micro - A permanent location with transient unlicensed ladies (usually foreign visitors) working out of it, ladies come and go, usually 1-3 at a time at each location. The ladies are all unlicensed transients so your relationships are with the local handlers. Pretty sure they are not legal but the city/police seem to tolerate them as long as nobody complains.

SOPAM - Sackattack already spelled it out, typically start with a shower together where your parts (and hers) are cleaned thoroughly, then bbbj in the shower, then a light massage, then bbbj in bed, then FS finish, then cuddle or more light massage if time.

So it’s like SNAFU, but for Asian Massage Parlors.
Got it.

I stopped going to micros and AMPs a few years ago. the last AMP was Mint Care - and Bella there was awesome.
I even got Greek there once.
Micros - SweetBB and Wonder69 - was a frequent customer. Always remember this night around west mount when the lady was busy and I sat around to wait - watched tv with the booker... and when it was my turn... turned out that the lady had a cast on her foot.

Maybe it's time to get back to the micros and AMPs; HEs just doesn't cut it and I don't like old aunties...

Sweet BB has been on a nice run of some really wonderful ladies

Agreed, currently, Haru@SBB (if available) is a must try.
