Korea IS a massage parlor. Being a hooker in Korea is referred to as being a "business woman". Not a respected profession, but not disrespected either. You will have an unlimited number of choices, but be forewarned: most of the women their eat a type of salad called "kimchee". The sauce used is garlic based, and somewhat strong for Western palates. ================================================================ Date: Mon, 20 Mar 95 05:11:46 GMT - In Korea, sexual services are clandestine. As a legal - nicety, you cannot buy a woman's sexual services, but - you can rent her room for the night. The prices these - days are more expensive than the US, but the services - are available *anywhere*. Expect to spend $50 to $100 - for a "short-time" and $300 for overnight. Could you kindly tell in detail about the places of those services as many as possible ? I know a place, the name is Chongliangni, I want know some other places, especially want know the biggest place in Seoul. =================================================================== Subject: Seoul, Korea Date: Wed, 23 Aug 1995 00:54:24 UTC Here is a report of a recent trip to Korea. I was there on business and had a few days to prowl. Not speaking the language, nor having a native escort, I'm sure I missed many highlights, but I hope the following will provide some insight for any potenti al sex searchers. I stayed at a deluxe hotel in Seoul. Seoul is an attractive city. It is very clean and has an interesting mix of modern high-tech and 1100 year old tradition. The people are very friendly and accommodating. The hotel disco was crowded with people, and a very high female-to-male ratio. I'm sure there were pro's there, but I'm also sure they were VERY expensive. Also, the environment of the club was aimed at an age group of which this writer only has vague memories. I knew the Asian "code" of the barbershop sign, (Seoul is CRAWLING with them) but had been previously informed that the massage parlors were much nicer. After shopping in the It'aewon district (great post-barter prices on luggage, shoes and suits!) I hailed a cab and asked for a massage parlor. The cabby didn't understand, so he asked a gent on the street to translate (how embarrassing!) The gent asked if I wanted a "service girl" (remember this code word) and told the cabby to take me for a "mess-ah -gee". He understood and took me across town to a lovely looking place. (At this point, I must apologize for not remembering the name of the establishment, but if you go the YMCA, facing the entrance, go to your left to the first street. Make a right and go to the first street on your left. It is about a half a block up on your left, next to the Garden Sauna Hotel....and they're not kidding about the sauna...Seoul is VERY humid) I was greeted at the door by two extremely attractive girls. There were half a dozen pairs of men's shoes at the door, so I assumed they were very busy. If these girls were the left-overs, I can only imagine what the first-draft picks looked like. After donning a pair of shower shoes, I chose the younger of the two and was led to a room. The room was spare with a mat on the floor, a mirror on the wall and a closet in the corner. The girl sat on the floor and pulled out a pad of paper to begin neg otiations. The flat rate for the massage (the room charge) is 36,000W (47US$) The "girlfriend" charge began negotiations at 150US$ (!!) I attempted to get the price down to what I usually pay at US/Korean massage parlors ($60 - 80 including room), but she was insistent on no less than $100. I enjoy female companionship, but I also know when I'm getting ripped off. I thanked her and beat a hasty retreat. (pardon the cliche) I left and walked toward the main street to hail another cab. On the way, I passed several "barbershops" and figured "what the hell" I entered one called "Panda". It (and several other business's) was one or two floors below street level. I was greete d by a cute girl/woman and asked if I wanted a haircut or "mess-ah-gee". I indicated the latter and was directed to a standard barber chair in an alcove of the shop. She gave me a pair of loose fitting shorts to change into and went to get a bucket of hot towels. I hopped up in the chair and she placed a towel over my eyes and washed my feet with cold water. This was a treat considering how hot and sweaty I had gott en in the few blocks I walked. She then indicated that the service would be 50,000W (65UD$). I assumed this would be all-inclusive, and was treated to by far the BEST massage I have ever had in my life! Hot towels layered on my back, an then she climbe d up and walked on it. Fingers, toes, neck and brow....nothing was ignored. She then turned me over and began on my chest. Smiling all the while, she gave my crotch a playful squeeze. I smiled in agreement, and she pulled down my shorts and grabbed a bit of hand cream. (I indicated that I would have preferred a BJ, but I guess AIDS awareness has come to the Orient.) She then gave me what I can only describe as an excellent, professional hand-job. She laid across my chest and licked my nipples while eagerly stroking me. It was as good as a hand-job can be. Afterwards, another hot towel was used. This girl was loving, gentle, and kind. I can't rave enough about her. (and I assume that this is only typical service) She helped me dress and led me back to the entrance. At this point she asked for 80,000W ( 105US$!!) I reminded her that she had indicated 50,000 before, but I guess the "extra service" was extra. A small language problem ensued, but we finally settled on 60,000 (80US$). I was a bit perturbed, but considering the quality of the service and t he fact that I got a KILLER "mess-ah-gee", I'm not going to complain. I will go back. I WILL go back! Happy Hunting! ======================================================================= Date: 28 Oct 1995 15:28:11 -0400 $60 for a Korean hooker??!!?? My god have prices gone up since I was there in 1988 and in the service there in '84-85. Back then It was $10 short time/$20 overnite in GI clubs outside of Seoul (Ouijongbu). Even Short times in Itaewon were about $20, and the "korean" (non-tourist redlight areas) were cheaper. ========================================================================== Subject: a tip on korean prostitutes Date: 16 Dec 1995 21:00:07 GMT How much does it cost to have sex with a korean prostitute once? expensive - modest - the girls you can find at inns 13000won for room(three hour stay) 30000won for the girl (one sex- it will take about 15-20 minutes) cheap - From Seoul ========================================================================== Subject: Korean Update Date: Wed, 24 Jan 1996 20:50:07 UTC Capital Hotel - Seoul KAL Hotel - Sogwipo (Cheju Island) Both have Turkish baths and accept Westerners.
