I've only regularly mongered in WA state and a handful of times in other states, so take this post with a grain of salt. This is my experience and what I've seen to work best.

1) When selecting an amp, go to RM and look up the place. I don't pay for a membership (I have in the past) but being able to see the AMP listed and/or having a TON of reviews (usually 35 IMO), it gives me a good idea of the success rate of getting some love.

2) Not all places that are rated "non-erotic" are actually not erotic. I've found that those places at least half the time do offer services, and are far better at them than others.

3) Building a relationship / continuous business with an AMP or a specific provider will get you far better results than just walking in off the street. But, nothing can beat the "what am I in store for?" Feeling.

4) When paying house fee for the massage, if asked up front, make sure the masseuse discretely knows and can see that you have extra bills to cover the tip.

5) Never ever ever straight up ask for an service like a hand job from a provider. You can do things to show that you're enjoying the teasing and it become a "mutual agreement" that you're gonna get nutted. Whenever a provider during a massage / after the flip asks if I want ____ for X "dollars", I immediately decline. Any proposition that includes a sexual act the transfer of money is seen as soliciting a prostitute. For FS places, it's a little bit different but I've only gone to one FS place and it's just not my thing.

6) Wash (and shave if so inclined) your ass and balls.

7) if you have any doubt that your balls and butt smell, ask for either a table shower or ask if they have a normal shower. You will get far more exploratory grazes when your shit don't stink.

8) If you find a place that checks off all of or most of the things you're looking for, protect it IMO. Don't ruin a great thing by telling the world how you got jerked off at this place and only for $60.

9) Sometimes the most legit looking ones are the kinkiest with superb massage skills.

10) Have fun, stay safe, be aware of the situation to protect everyone involved.

Bonus tip: if there's any non-asian person working the front counter or giving you a massage, it's most likely a bust.

Happy mongering folks.
