[quote=camboblowshooter]In Siem Reap, if you walk around evening time and pass all these massage parlors, just gentle chat with the girls outside, tell them quietly what you are looking for, give them card of your hotel and they will come and give you what you want. A 20 dollar bill is doing real wonders here.[/quote]
Nicely put, blowshooter. Discretion for these 'respectable' women is everything. And while any of them will come back to the hotel for a massage, the best looking ones may not always be mesmerised by $20 from the average punter. A lot of them are desperately chasing non-monger tourists to earn a normal living. But with so many massage girls, the alternative options beckon.
$20 is reasonable for full service (sex) and $6 for a straight massage. But I've had many different reactions outside of that. One girl, with whom I had sex with on the premises, was very upset that I tried to pay her for sex and I quickly reassured her that the extra was a tip for the good massage she'd given me first (ie she is not s prostitute in her mind, she just liked me). Another very pretty girl spent a long time saying she wouldn't do anything but a hand job, then caved in at "$100" - which I told her was frankly ridiculous. A lot of them don't have a clue.
I'm just adding these notes in case any newbies might do a bull in a china shop. The Khmers, after all, frequently make a big deal about how massage, 'unlike in [I]Thailand[/I]' is not a front for prostitution. I've not met any massage girls in Siem Reap (in the massage places as opposed to the brothels) who would think of themselves as hookers. It is always an 'exception' which they no doubt erase from their mind soon afterwards so that they have not become fallen women. Suspension of disbelief is the touchstone of such a world.
