Real Life

What Happened the First Time I Walked into a British “Massage Parlour”?

It was a harsh reality check that failed to meet my expectations.

There’s a first time for everything. And sometimes, curiosity gets the better of us. Or, in my case, my libido…

“Massage Parlours” in the UK

In case you didn’t know, many massage parlours in the UK are actually brothels.

Although prostitution itself is legal in Great Britain, running a brothel is illegal. So, technically, these “massage parlours” are breaking the law. Sometimes they do get raided and shut down. But many times, the police turn a blind eye because it’s better than the women being out on the streets on their own.

And also, prostitution is one of the oldest professions in the world. So, shutting down brothels is a bit like whack-a-mole. Others will soon pop up elsewhere. Where there’s demand for a service, there is always someone to meet that demand. And last I heard, heterosexual men aren’t going to stop wanting to have sex with women anytime soon.

The first time I walked into one

For a few years, I had kept noticing a couple of these “massage parlours” on the main road into the city. I knew what they were, and I was curious what it would be like to go on one of them.

One day, I finally got the courage to go in. It wasn’t quite as nice as I’d imagined it would be. And the woman’s manner wasn’t quite as delightful as I’d hoped.

It was also darker than I wanted it to be. They had the lights dim to make it relaxing. But for me, it made it harder to get a good look at her.

The act itself didn’t quite go as planned, which I described in more detail here:

I Lost My Virginity to a Prostitute

It was an anti-climax that ruined my fantasy of sexual intercourse. But I’m glad I did it, and it wasn’t the last time.

The apprehension is at least half the fun

If you’ve never been into a brothel, walking into one for the first time is a nerve-wracking experience. So is the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth time. Every time is at least a bit scary.

But that’s a big part of the fun.

Even after visiting parlours on and off for years, the first time visiting a new one was always terrifying. But in a good way.

I remember walking around the block many times, trying to pluck up the courage to go in. And sometimes that’s the most exciting part.

It’s about not knowing what’s going to happen. It’s about stepping into the unknown.

And even if the act itself sometimes doesn’t live up to expectations, the excitement leading up to it is always there. And that’s what sticks with me the most.
