Abesha Massage Parlor? 54 Comments

massage parlor

Happy endings included! I was out with the boys when it was mentioned that Abesha girls were offering sensual services for monetary compensation here in no other than Washington DC.

A massage parlor although technically and legally meaning ‘a place where a customer receives therapeutic massage;’ is in tradition and reality synonymous with a brothel or bordello.

You see a massage is a euphemism for sexual favor, the extent of which depending on the provider. In the US prostitution is strictly illegal although available in almost every city, as far as I know. There is the street walker, the escort or the call girl services as in Madam Heidi Fleiss ; Nevada ranches and last but not least and most importantly the massage parlor.

As in most males in the living in the US I have the experience of one form of prostitution or another. I once tagged along to an Asian operated massage parlor with the boys; once the shower and massage was finished, the lady asked if I wanted a happy ending for fifty dollars. Indeed it was although I didn’t like the feeling of paying for sex favors thus I declined.

I also have experience with call girls; although I was offered for the full enchilada I declined expressing my interest in just watching and other services.

Now that you know the background, I was very curious as the abesha services, seeing as though I have lived in the DC area or sometime, I wanted to know who, what and how these girls did their thing. Is it full force prostitution or just a tease? A hand job or no job or any other job?

The day

I had called the number a few times to make an appointing to no avail, seeing that there was many security features. They wanted me to call back in five minutes for a confirmation number and when I called back no one picked up.

I called back a week later and asked for a 6 o’clock appointment, the girl who didn’t sound abesha at all suggested that 6:30 pm would be better. I settled it after I made another phone call after five minutes to get my confirmation number.

So where do I go? Aren’t you going to give me an address? She declined but gave me the exit number from the highway after which I was supposed to call. I did and I was given more directional instructions. Make a right and then go 3 miles and then make a right and call us back.
This time the girl was Abesha, I could tell from her accent and I tried so hard not make it seem as though I was one of her own. I called back and I was told to park in the garage and wait.

About 5 minutes went by and I was given the condo number, and a nice condo it seemed. Obviously they do not have a license to practice, and I was more assured that this was not a legitimate business. Finally as I got out of the elevator an abesha girl in nice tight all Lenin clothing welcomed me and I went in. I could see a kitchen, but the living room was blocked off. It was dark and everything smelled of fancy candles and scents.

The girl who was abesha and older, around mid thirties was very attractive and in shape. Although I thought and I hoped she wasn’t the provider since I thought she reminded me off an aunt type.

She led me to the bedroom, candles and a bed with lots of sheets and pillows, just like a massage parlor, and signs, at least 3 of them white and laminated with black text.

All monetary transactions where donations for entertainment only; and that it was illegal for me to ask for sexual favors.

There was not the exact text but I knew not to say lets do it. Not that I was willing, my plan had been to leave after I saw who the girls were. and since the living room was blocked I could not see. I decided to go for it. She gave me an envelope and a pen, and asked that I insert the money and write “gift” on it. I was also told that they had a two girl special for only 160$; one abesha girl was embarrassing enough I decided, I inserted the money and waited till she came back. She took the envelope and asked that I get comfortable.

Take of my cloth, I kept my boxers on and waited laying on my stomach on the bed. She came back, so she was the provider as well. I could tell she suspected I was abesha so she asked where I was from; I said I am from Greece although my family are of Ethiopian decent. A blatant lie to make sure she thinks I was not in touch with the Ethiopian community.

I was hoping it was her that gave me whatever it was I was there for but since it was I acted very shy, she oiled me up and was on her way to take of my boxers when I said no. She asked if I was shy, and I said very. She kept massaging my whole body excluding parts I wasn’t comfortable with and it was finished. And I left.

I wished I had seen the other girls, or I that I had more nerve let her do what she does.

I am not writing this to suggest anything since I am sure any community will have some body in any business including the sex business. I am just sharing a story, anonymously ofcource.

    $160 for two? They need a consultant. I’ll provide my service :)

    But for a guy writing anonymously, you have to many disclaimers as if your identity is known to selected few and you dont want to tell the entire story as it happened.

    well You said,

    “I wished I had seen the other girls, or I that I had more nerve let her do what she does.”

    For what? So that you can tell every one you know what that girl does???? Why is it that Ethiopian girls have to be shy, not be in this bussiness etc.
    Haven’t you gone back home and seen what the girls do in hotels, bars etc? what makes these girlsdifferent?
    Man I think you have nothing else to do with your time. Get a job! read a book or watch TV…..
    Get a life!

    Confused,

    Sharing a story? Cool. But are we supposed to discuss or learn from this by reading this. There are and has been Abesha prostitutes in the U.S. since the beginning of time.

    I thought that was an old news. Or is it the massage parlor that is fascinating here. Just confused.

    Not to mention the whole ANONYMOUS post thing.

    Whatever.

    besak, why are you guys upset? because the guy shared his story.

    PS please dont post the number in here, since its illegal people might get in trouble. We don’t want our sisters in trouble.

    Instead send the number to our email and then for those that need it I can share.

    Nolawi,

    Why does it have to be that people are upset because they shared their opinions? I am in that group who thinks that this is just a bunch of ‘rubbish’.

    We just think this is an old and boring news, that doesn’t amount to one being upset. We are calling it for what it is

    Anonymous, thanks for sharing. But I feel like something is omitted from the story though. How could a GUY would pass all the troubles as stated above to reach the parlor and have just a regular massage wanting to have something more??? I doubt it.

    I really don’t get the purpose of this post. First of all, the extent you’ve gone to look for “woree’” makes the authenticity of your story quite doubtfull. What world problem were you trying to solve by playing a perverted ‘Inspector Crusoe’? If your post was trying to address the plight of our sisters then kudos. I personally doubt that was your intent… Maybe you were in character when you wasted valuable time out of your life playing a lame version of “to catch a predator”? At least Chris Hansen doesn’t sample the goods – it sounds like you do! It’s really not our business of what you do in your free time – but when you bring your dirty laundry into the public arena, your judgement is game. By your own admission, you’ve had several levels of experience with that industry and I don’t know how that bodes for your character and judgement. My brother, no temporary pleasure is worth your life, and no amateur investigation your freedom. It sounds like I’m more worried about you than the young ladies that are forced to render this tentalizing service (i bet not by choice). The stigma of being branded a “John” by the legal system will cost you dearly… So next time you plan to find out more about the ethiopian aunties, mothers, sisters, daughters unfortunate enough to be working in that industry “ask what you can do for them, and not what they can do for you”. Oh by the way, don’t forget to tell your girlfriend, fiancee’, wife… to go get checked for STD’s – she is cursed with your company. And may I suggest that you setup a charity to educate and save our sisters from such fate? Just don’t ask me to contribute, or serve on the board – I wouldn’t trust your judgement!

    I never pay for love! that’s a fib… maybe in 10 doezen roses!
    I get my massages at Sharper Image! great chairs – want a brochure?

    If I were you and my goal was to see the girls involved so I can gossip and point them out for my boys when i see the girls out, I would have ordered the two girls package and inquired if a three girls package was available.

    Ok, why go to all this trouble and get out of there without doing something. So you see the girls. Then what? You obviously knew that the ‘aunty’ like woman was Ethiopian. I am just trying to understand the importance or relevance of the whole article. Is this supposed to tell us there are shy guys out there that go to all this trouble to find out that there are Ethiopian women in this kind of business? Or do you intend to persue private investigations? or that you are so boared out of your seat that you decided to go look for an Ethiopian massage with a happy ending?

    You know where I lost you?….. when you were given the exit, you drove there and you called and drove for 3 miles……… wiyyyyyyyy ewnetim sira fetehal wedaje.

    It is one post on Bernmos that has no substance or class…… give the man a job……

    Obviously, there is a big and unified resentment of this post due to a lot of reasons. One of them being ‘no substance’.

    We’re not judging this guy for doing what he did, rather his “non sense” post. I came back to this post and i see all this people saying “what the heck?”

    I am dumb founded that some of you including Nolawi seem to think that we should be thankful to this crap. Are you kidding me? You can’t insult our intelligence with a wasteful post such as this one. It might have been a good conversation to have in Starbucks but i just don’t think it is fitting to have it here in Bernos Blog. maybe that’s what we’re trying to relay.

    But then again this is your house, and burning your house is one of the options you have when it’s yours. It will just be an inconvenience for your neighbors to wake up to the sirens of the fire trucks.

    I guess this is an experiment that failed badly. When people care about something they share their concern, and i am convinced that’s what all this people are doing.

    The post was neither educational nor entertaining. We don’t know “Anonymous” to hate on him, we just feel that the post was laughable from top to bottom.

    “Anonymous”, i understand the fact that you thought this was something to share with your Abesha folks and it didn’t work out that way. I am sure you will take it as a learning experience and come back with a better post next time. I am sure of it. Don’t take it too hard is all i am saying, just a tough love.

    What makes it diffrent from some of the posts we have read here. If you look at it the guy is just sharing an experiance. Would it be better if he said .. ”well ,I was sitting in a bar and I met an Ethiopian girl who offered sex for money ” minamin stuff

    a lot of you focus on how he got the story. If he choose to pass his time like this and recount the story ,I see nothing wrong with it.What exactly is the problem here ?-is it the moral of the story or the time he spent in finding it ?

    BRAVO! You deserve a standing ovation for that comment. The #1 problem in our community is judgement. If we don’t look the same, breath, eat, write and f*ck the same then someone will start tossing the stone. They may also be upset he didn’t give them anything for their nightly wet dreams.

    This post is idiotic at best, and defending its content no less moronic! The beauty of it is that Anonymous has the platform to express his views. The content to some is valuable and to others it’s just absolute rubish. I fall in the camp that thinks this post is junk. Tsegure, dissent is not a crime and it is the bloodline for constructive criticism so your #1 problem “judgement” – is very much off base. I’m sure you’ve been to school and when your teacher grades your paper he is judging your work, when your employer evaluates your performance he’s judging you, and when your date dumps you it is based on her/his judgement of you…. So yes, our ethiopian community is no different than others in judging the value of what people bring to the table. And I say Anonymous has brought nothing valuable here. If defending it for the sake of his right to post then that’s one thing – but mediocrity shouldn’t be accepted blindly. You can put all the lipstick you want on this pig – it’s still a pig, myself and a few others recognize that and refuse to kiss it!

    Anonymous, was it all in aid of research purposes?, should you ever need it it is a sort of defence if you wanted to use it, lighter tone aside, as a reader of your story I dont feel that you have expressed your real thoughts about your trip down the massage parlour, now dont get me wrong I dont really want to know if it was just massage you had or dipped into the *extras*, but what impression did your experience make on you beside the obvious of course. I feel you have described events but didnt really say how you felt about it.

    What were your thoughts as you were being led into dark rooms by women you dont know and in and unfamiliar surroundings, maybe not totally safe and maybe on your way to pay for want of a better word *sexual relation with a stranger* or a massage and what did you really feel when your curiosity was satiated and you realise that it was indeed an Ethiopian woman your eyes saw offering you sexual favours for money?., how did you feel then?…did you feel *aha yes I was right or smug, or did you feel something different?..like empathy or sorrow for your sisters abroad being in the flesh business?..did you feel you might be adding to their exploitation by being there yourself?….

    And yes I know the old argument of demand and supply of sex workers and their clients and I know it is a business as old as the wolrd itself I know all that but it is still a bad business of human exploitation and no one who doesnt have to do it does it on their own volition, but yes those are the things I would have liked to know if you felt or thought about…thanks for sharing a private experience, maybe not so private now eh?…

    Anonymous has told us a story. Not all stories or experiences are pleasant or funny or beautiful or moving, but we cant deny the right of others to tell them regardless of content, we can disbelieved it, we can analyse, it we can write commentaries about it, we can refute it and we can critique it. Or, we could ignore it if it is not to our liking. We must not object to the actual telling of the story whatever the merit or content as long as it is not overtly offensive and besides the slightly unusual determined curiosity of Anonymous to find a Ethiopian run massage parlour and Ethiopian sex workers what else is really offensive about the article?. It is written with measured language and not not derogatory in its tone. Maybe superficial about a serious problem that needs more than mere curiosity maybe it lacks depth and real understanding or empathy for the plight of what makes one become a sex worker, than that I dont find it offensive. And I would defend his right to tell it whatever my thoughts about it.

    I read it like he was being weregna and went WAY OUT of his way to find who these girls are….who cares…they living their lives..even if we don’t agree with what they do they are not bothering us…. even paid his hard earned money (so i assume) just to snoop and gossip about it later other wise why would he go just to see who they are. Personally I get nothing out of this article. but to each his own even for weregna perv

    Hello everyone,

    Well, its great to see all of your feedbacks. First I want to say bernos is a place where broaspectrum of ideas and topics are presented and discussed. Now I don’t particularly like this post but there is no need to bash the author. It is an experience/opinion piece and that’s it. There is no more or less substance in this post then in Ethiofused, which by far is one of the most popular posts. Now this post didnt appeal to me but then again there are some of you that didn’t identify with the Obama piece. In short I want to say…eventhough I wish everyone loved every post on bernos that’s simply not going to happen. So please let’s enjoy the posts we like and politely share our disagreemets about the others. I must admit I did learn some things from this post. I didn’t know such places existed in the ET community. So lets use this platform for discussions…such as the plight of these girls, the moral questions that arise from using these venues, or even the legal issues assocated with these parlors…

    Anonymous- I’m not interested to know if more stuff happened but I am puzzled by your desperate need to identify these girls? Why the curiousity?

    To the readers- I got this question from a friend who’s not Ethiopian, “hey did you know there is an Ethiopian human trafficing ring in DC?” he was discussing this article with a friend of his that works for immigration and she told him about this alleged ring. I responded I knew of no such things…but then again maybe I’m wrong? Any thoughts?

    Anon–back off bernos :) :):)

    Meron,

    A thing about the curiosity, can’t he do it just for the hell of it?

    Don’t mean you specifically but there is this obsession with reason in habesha people .Like when I was young and wanted a permission to go out one thing I hated explaining was the ‘Why’ question. Have a tatoo ,people would be like ..Why ?…Travel somewhere …Why ?

    Anyhow I don’t think we need to do everything for a reason.

    Human Trafficking ?….Ofcourse ,there is Human trafficking in DC and in most other places. Specailly if you go with the strict sense of the definition ,It would include people who came through buying DVs or other forms of faking documents.

    Here is the definition. Well , I am sure you can think of Hundreds of Habeshas who came to the US like this.

    ”The recruitment, transportation, transfer, harbouring or receipt of persons, by means of the threat or use of force or other forms of coercion, of abduction, of fraud, of deception, of the abuse of power or of a position of vulnerability or of the giving or receiving of payments or benefits to achieve the consent of a person having control over another person, for the purpose of exploitation”

    LOL,

    I just felt like laughing after i read all the comments, so my comment is “LOL”

    Wanna know what’s funny? I will tell you. I found the comments that are telling those of us who didn’t like this post, “to shut the hell up” in a nice way.

    As much as this knuckle-head had the right to post this “no substance crap”, we have equal right to tell him “it stinks”.

    What was funny? The fact that some of us didn’t like this post and the fact that others didn’t like our comments. If we can’t criticize this “non-existent person”, then do you have any right to tell us what our comment should be? And how thankful we should be? How we should take a lesson that doesn’t exist from it?

    lol. All of that non-sense was so funny.

    And we’re just posting our f***in’ opinion about the damn post. Now what rattles you so bad? Controversial will not be something that would describe best this post.

    Now what’s the matter? Does our opinion not sit well with you? Relax and let us BE. If you liked it so much, i would have read a complete different comment than the one you posted.

    Did you say take the post at face value? At face value i found the post not interesting. Should my opinion cause a problem, so does the post.

    Dr. Ethiopia—yes you have every right to tell him it stinks!!! Lets just do it with some respect since we are not in the person’s shoes. And i think everyone has been for the most part.

    Like it or not the post does bring up talking points. I didn’t know this existed in our community and I wonder why the women resort to this line of work… Maybe I’m too sheltered or have this romantic view of our culture.

    Dr. Ethiopia – I don’t think some people get what we’re trying to say. It doesn’t matter from which angle you look at this article it stinks!!
    …How about we turn the conversation around to focus on the plight of many ethiopian women that leave their homeland for a better life and experience severe injustices in the countries they migrate to. If I recall correctly a few years ago there was a lady that worked as a “serategna” in the mid-east and killed her boss after being abused by him? I know she was sentenced to death and I’m not sure what the final outcome of her case was. I also remember being shocked when an ethiopian was arrested in the Denver area for killing her ethiopian bosses she worked for. I know there is a practice of importing “Mogzits from Ager Be’t” and I always wondered what would happen to these women (that are not educated) after the kids they watch grow-up? What options do they have to survive while being hunted by immigration officials and the many that are ready to take advantage of them. How many of “Anonymous’s” subjects do what they do because they want to, and how many do it because they have no choice?? Anonymous, you’ve been extremely quiet so far. Why not say a few words…? All that massage got your tongue?!

    If I could add MY cents, I’d say- If one has not paid to read the blogs here or anywhere else in the www for that matter, one has no right to complain that one wasn’t amused or whatever it is one hopes to feel after reading RANDOM PEOPLE’S stories, experiences, fantasies, dreams, thoughts etc.. it’s the nature of a public forum folks..
    I personally was slightly surprised to read about “Habesha-Run massage parlors” eventhough I know better than to make assumptions….regardless, its none of my personal business what people do with their free or paid time. But really..how selfish to DEMAND that one learn something new/unique from everything/everyone one encounters? – in a web log or anywhere…

    Meron – I just felt it was the right thing to say to this particular person who thought constructive criticism is bad. Sure, we all can be a little harsh at times. I know i have a lot of harsh critics on my blog, and i respect their views at the end of the day.

    That’s because you never know how much a post moves any one given person. In any case, if i resort to calling the pot a kettle, wouldn’t that be too politically correct? I think it would. And i hate being politically correct, it doesn’t bode well with me.

    I know this – Anonymous, took the time and energy to write this post and i respect that. I am sure he thought we all would find it helpful, or better yet maybe it shocked HIM/HER enough to write about it. I appreciate his effort.

    But when i read a post and i find it helpful, i concede, and when i don’t – i just tell it like it is. And “harsh” is a relative term. What is “harsh” is when people think our comments are unfair and write another comment to criticize our comments.

    And their type of arrogance is an insult to people who “think”.

    whateva… man you didn’t go nowhere. I am surprised they go to all this hassel to get $80 or whatever you paid. That so sad. It is sad to see our sista’s in U.S doing this…That’s really messed up.I felt bad for the ppl in Et and now they have all the opportunites in the world and do this. Why is that? Is it for the money or they just love what they do? I will leave it for the bloggers.

    Dr Ethiopia, you need to relax a bit, you acting as if you are the managing editor of this blog if you don’t like what he wrote shut the fuck up and read something else, at least he took his time to go out and writ about his experience as all writers do, what is your problem?

    Barefoot Emperor – I have a chill pill for kids like you, so if you need any just ask for one, kid. Other than that when it’s past your bed time and you are disgruntled don’t try to pick fights with folks you don’t know.

    When you pick your battles, be smart. And finally, make sure you don’t bring a knife to a gun fight.

    Enough said.

    Dr Ethio I suggest you should take some of your own chill pill n see how you feel, if not I’ve got one for adults like you, if anyone needs one you truely need one, pompous dick.
    ps. you said “don’t try to pick fights with folks you don’t know” did you know the write of the article when you have a go at him? pleazzzzz try to be a bit humble next time, it might suit you and don’t forget some of us might have found his article a bit informative and entertaining.
