Non-Sexual Massage Parlor

Does anybody know of a legit massage parlor in either Medellin or Bogota that offers various types of massage and/or skin/body treatments? I mean the real kind, not a "pud puller" establishment. If so, what can I expect in terms of prices and is a tip typically given at the conclusion of the service? I've always wanted to get one and I intend to treat myself when we visit. Thanks. Your help is appreciated.

Try La Riviera Spas, they have different types of massages and skin/body treatments. In Bogota you can find it in Atlantis and Unicentro Mall.

In Medellin, my wife and some friends say that La Riviera in Oviedo is good.

"I am a citizen of the most beautiful nation on earth. A nation whose laws are harsh yet simple, a nation that never cheats, which is immense and without borders, where life is lived in the present."

How about a decent topless bar... I wouldn't mind going out with friends to a decent topless bar with attactive women from time to time if it wasn't crawling with prostitutes.

Does such a place exist in Cali or anywhere in Colombia?

There doesn't seem to be much of a cultural distinction in Colombia between a woman that dances topless and one that sells her body for sex.

I have always wondered why that is the case. Wouldn't colombianos frequent a place where there were hot dancers but you couldn't buy them out right. Or is it the women that don't see much of a difference between dancing topless and jumping a guys bones for cash?

I really don't think That there exists that distinction here in the US either. Do you really think there are that many strippers out there who wouldn't give it up for the going rate??

Rubiazo I'm sure some would give it up at a highly inflated rate but most would not. Well at least I never had one ask me to buy her let alone pester me the entire night like they do in Cali.

I have to say phoenix has some damn good looking strippers. My ex-wife made on average made about 500-600 hundred dollars on a Friday and Saturday and that was in 1986. Really good looking strippers in the states make so much money that most wouldn't put themselves through the prostitution gig.

Anyway my wife never turned any tricks as far as I know. Every time I went in to check on her she was at work dancing away.

I was just amazed at guys that would pay her $150 bucks an hour just to have her dance and talk to them. I mean these poor slobs would make appoinments with her weeks in advance.

Maybe Colombia just doesn't have the pussy worshipers that we have here in the states. hehehe!!

I would say in Canada on the US on average 98% of strippers give it up, and NOT at any sort of inflated rate. This data comes from years of hanging out with and dating. Not stating anything one way or the other about your wife, except for that if she was a 'juiciosa' she was very rare in the industry.

Rubiazo I don't know what kind of dancers you have been hanging out with but.....the good looking ones in Phoenix make 50 to 70 grand tax free. Most of them have their little boy toys and wouldn't dream of fucking some guy they didn't like.

I personally never bothered with the less attractive ones. They probably do go down for a price but I never had one approch me with an offer. Let alone ask repeatedly. LOL !!

Rubiazo says on Jun 25, 2006, 05:08:

50 to 70 grand? Dude, that's chump change for a dancer. Most of them I know here in NYC want to make about 5 times that! And there's only one way you're gonna do THAT....

For the record I think that 98% number is pretty consistent from country to country, of course, taking into account things like many countries don't even have the concept of 'strip clubs' and those places are basically set up to be brothels.

In Canada back in the 80s we used to have a lot of 'mixed format' clubs where for example the strippers would work till 8pm or so and then the bands would play till closing.

In Bogota they had a lot of places in the southern entertainment districts advertising strippers that would come in and do a set for a normal crowd of people, that is, ones that were there to dance and drink and listen to live music etc and hook up with each other, and not necessarily come just for the stripper. I wonder how all the gf's took that :P I actually think a lot of places use it as a shill to attract male customers (maybe they already have too many female customers by comparison), I was at one place where supposedly the stripper didn't show because she just had her period (but I saw a great mariachi band!!)
