TCM: Traditional Chinese Massage

[hepmom]

The "Traditional Chinese Massage" brand name has been used for five massage spas in the Toronto area. They seem to be affiliated somewhat. I'm sure many a man with Asian Fever has checked them out. Most of them have websites at this time.

The five are on: Yonge,Bloor,Cumberland, Eglinton and Sheppard.

Should massageplanet.neties avoid these for the more complete and satisfying Tuina experience or are they somehat exquivalent?

I have been to 1020 Eg twice in the past few weeks. Interesting place:

1st visit (Sunny) - very cute, slim, young, chinese girl. Decent massage, no extras though when she asked me if I wanted to flip over, I thought ok here we go (ie standard rub & tug), however Sunny massaged everywhere except Mr. H. When she said time was up I looked at her puzzled and said what about the finish. Sunny looked very surprised, but said I was welcome to finish myself (and she agreed to watch), but then after a few strokes, I encouraged her to "lend a hand" and she did with a little hesitation. I honestly think she had never done this before which made it all the more satisfying (ie forbidden fruit).

2nd visit (Candy) - also young, cute etc, decent massage but no finish despite much encouragement. Finished myself with her watching (somewhat reluctantly).

There is something very special about getting something that is not on the menu, hence my second visit to see if I could increase the mileage. Unfortunately Sunny was not there but I thought what the heck, see if I could get the same result from another girl.

Overall this place is decent if you are just looking for a massage by cute asian girls and quite reasonably priced (1hr for $55 with internet coupon found on massagegirls.ca). But for a straight massage you are better off at Changs or one of the other Tiuna places.

I saw Candy yesterday for the 1st time. I must say that she holds no appeal for me at all. She is kind of cute & skinny, but that's it. I wasn't expecting any help, so I stated taking care of the finish on my own and she said "you do it yourself", I looked at her wanting to say "what do you think I'm doing?"
I touched her arm at one point & she almost screamed "DON'T TOUCH ME!".
It's one of the worst massage experiences I've had. That being said, I have had good experiences with Iwa(or Awa) at the same location.
