Read MoreI just wrote a review for an Asian massage place that I went to in West Hartford (that was actually super awesome!). This place came up in "similar places," which reminded me of a crazy experience I had here last fall.
So, my boyfriend and I had a day off together and were looking for something to do. We both like massages, so we had the brilliant idea of finding a massage place that could accommodate us last minute. Well, this place was down the street from us, and the lady said we could walk in for a couples massage! Sweet!
So, we get here, and its immediately sketchy. There's a language barrier between us and the lady that meets us at the front door. She can't seem to fathom that we BOTH want a massage, and ushers us into a room with one massage bed while constantly miming for us to be quiet. She then says, "wait here," and leaves the room. We hear a door in the back open, then the sound of a car starting up and driving away. What the.....
We sit there debating what's happening for about 10 minutes, when the lady comes back and ushers my boyfriend into the room next to the one we're currently in. In retrospect, this *should* have been a sign something was up, but I think we were both confused and just went with it. 45 minutes go by, and suddenly I hear commotion from the next room- it sounds like my boyfriend arguing, and the lady shushing him. I'm curious, but can't make out what's going on, and am left to wonder in silence.
5 minutes later, she comes into my room, asks me to undress, leaves, comes back, and starts the massage. It was a typical Asian massage- intense, lots of pressure points, pulling, but not bad. She jumped up and straddled my head at one point, which was weird, but whatever. It was a good massage.
The kicker was when the massage was over and I met my boyfriend in the hallway. He had a uncomfortable panicked look on his face, like an asthmatic at a tree pollen convention.
Once we were out on the sidewalk, he let it out- the lady had gotten super aggresive at the end of his massage, trying to grab his junk and jerk him off. What really got my goat is that she tried to do it with me in the next room! Honestly, I almost respect the level of ballsiness with that manuever! I thought it was a ridiculously hilarious experience, but he's still a little traumatized almost a year later. We did end up getting a "real" couples massage at a dope place in Northampton, Mass., but this place was memorable.
So yeah, don't go here for a couple's massage.
