Medika, Classic, Skorpion
prelude.
i wish i was an asian rain, with photos of girls with see*m dripping down their faces. i wish i was a dorman, busy with my friday (and thursday!) follies. i wishi was more like all of you, my distinguished betters on this forum. however, unfortunately, i'm easily distracted by out-of-the-way experiences and i lack that get-down-to-business attitude. i like roaming around my personal game of gta: jakarta armageddon and am not focused on leveling up.
i visited medika, classic spa and scorpion recently. here follows a field report.
i: medika.
the other afternoon, with or nothing or little to do and a few rupiah in my pocket, i thought i would venture to mal ciputra to see if it could rival mal atrium. it did not, unfortunately. i saw no likely candidates, although i don't think many bules venture there. ymmv. however, i received many, many smiles that i could have followed up on from the spgs working at the toko toko and department stores. (in comparison to other malls in the scbd).
around jam pulang, just after maghrib, i ventured to medika, the club behind mal ciputra. there was supposed to be sexy dancing there. i took the long way, on foot, along jl daan mogot, as opposed to the back way from ciputra. there's also short cut you can take from the mall before the big gate closes at 10 pm i read on an indonesian forum that women assembled on jl. daan mogot at rush hour and could be taken to the short-time hotels that were a little further to the west. i saw no one, save jakarta's teeming masses, eager to catch their mikrolets and bis kota for the voyage home, and i was not eager to stand there and wait.
walking down jl. daan mogot 1, i reached medika and checked my bag with the black-clad burly ambonese and betawi security guards. i saw a sign that said dangdut, second floor.
hey, i thought, i missed that the first few times i was here. i now had a mission. i entered.
the club was dark and the music was blaring. i heard before that there was dancing at 6 pm 8 p. m, and 10 pm but there was no one there and no signs that a show had just ended.
where's the dangdut, i asked. second floor, a mami replied. she directed me to the stairs on the left.
before i reached the stairway i found a huge fishbowl. one i had not seen before. full of 30 or so girls. each had one redeeming trait. a huge bosom, or a sexy ass, for example. which was complimented by a fatal flaw. bad teeth or a less-than-pretty face. ces't la vie. i know that its about rp 350,000 all-in for those girls. their quality is just biasa, and i would rather go to classic or travel for that amount.
then, another surprise: next to the fishbowl was a large room full of tables where you could sit with girls and buy them drinks. i never saw this before. this room makes the club huge. forgive me, i was probably addled with lust and alcohol on my last trip here.
anyway, i made it to the second floor. the lights were on, the band was setting up. no girls. no singers. two indonesian fellows. customers, like me. just entered, too. we came, we saw, we left. the mami there said dangdut would start at 10 pm
another time, mami. another time.
ii: classic spa.
i went to classic spa the next day. i was not in the mood for a rp 400,000 three-way on the second floor. just a massage plus plus. i have had two or three such massages there before. maybe i could negotiate a little bit more this time. not fj or bj or whatever. just something more erotic. maybe topless from the start, or with more frisky touching.
i got my little number tag (no. 1!) at the front desk. i went to my locker and changed into the shorts provided. the lads took my shoes to be shined. (i tipped them rp 20,000 later). i showered, changed again, went into the hot pool, steam room and sauna for about 45 minutes. i showered again, asked one of the lads for a robe and went into the bar / lounge off of the sauna area.
the bar is the gateway to the massage area. it's dark, not noisy or smokey, with many comfortable chairs and a lot of privacy. the girls sit in a sofa area along one wall about 7 meters away. they are well lit. it's possible to sit and look at the television and make a measured decision about the girls.
i hear that these girls are rp 800,000, but have never tried them. these are not the massage ladies, but full-service ladies. some look pretty, most of them look tired. maybe these are girls from the first floor club on a break; maybe it's overflow seating.
i walked straight back and to the right to the front desk for massages. there are three or four attendants there. one handles the scheduling, two handle the paperwork, i think. the scheduler was a tall, friendly betawi girl. i asked for a hard massage and she said, ok, number 35, she's very good.
bagus sekali, i thought in indonesian, ordered a drink and sat down to wait.
the betawi cewek then took me to the private rooms.
we passed a second area of ceweks, waiting waiting waiting.
i was escorted to tiny room. it's larger if you request a lulur (scrub) or the two-girl special (both of which are rp 450,000 for two sessions), but i requested a massage biasa.
there's a shower and a raised area for the massage in the room. it's a clean, well-lighted place, but no radio or television. fortunately, the music blaring from the first-floor club was enough to cut the silence.
i stripped, wrapped myself in a towel and lay down. several minutes later my massage girl walked in: 18 years old, east javanese. holy crap! a gadis hitam manis with smooth skin and a sweet face. she said she had been working there for three weeks and was obviously a bit uneasy, although she was not shy.
i shelved my plans for the super-erotic massage as to not freak her out. her massage was great. number 35 had strong hands.
she did something that i don't know how it worked. i was on my back. i think her hand was wrapped in a towel. she applied pressure to my ass several times with her knuckles. along my legs and then putting pressure right there, on the prostate. wow. awesome.
she took her time, sometimes sliding her hand along the inside of my leg up to my cock. but not touching it. almost, but no. she kept adjusting the towels as she did the massage. when she did my legs, it would cover half my ass. when she did my front, the towel would just cover my cock (until my erection knocked it aside). yes! this is what i wanted!
eventually, i went for a third session (rp 95,000) for "special massage". she asked for rp 300,000. i said no thanks, thinking that i could be on the second-floor in 15 minutes and pay rp 270,000. she immediately dropped to rp 200,000. it was still too much, but what the hell. the massage girl was sweet and beautiful. as she took control i undid her shirt and bra to see her small, firm light brown breasts and soft skin with dime-sized dark nipples.
after finishing things up, number 35 let her hair down. she was pretty. next time i think i will negotiate at the start: hair down, sexy massage, play with little man, topless. i think it is better to be direct up front.
i cleaned up, showered again and left. we agreed on her tip, which was added to my bill as i left. the attendants up front asked me if the massage girl and i had agreed to rp 200,000. i said yes. i was glad they checked with me.
i gave my "paid" card to the guard and walked out of the hotel.
and then i remembered dangdut.
oh yeah, my original mission.
iii permata / skorpion.
the hotel permata, which has a stuffed tiger in the lobby, is just steps away from classic. it also has club skorpion for "dank dhut". dank dhut, not dangdhut. ha! i arrived at 10 pm just as the club got underway. there were about 30 girls, a nine-member band, one or two mamis, an emcee, waitresses and a few customers.
it's run down. think lone star as opposed to asmoro on jl. blora. i ordered a beer and sat down. the emcee had a blazer thrown over a tee-shirt (style!) and was happy to talk to me (in indonesian (. after we spoke, he took to the stage and made a long speech welcoming everyone to the club, thanking me for arriving, told everyone about the fake job and fake background information i gave him, spoke a little about the songs and the band.
the girls then came on to sing, three at a time. after singing, the girls all came through the crowd (which was growing) , shaking hands with everyone in a friendly way. welcome, mister, they would say. some spoke a few words of english, most spoke only indonesian. one girl, a little older and chunkier sang a javanese-style dank dhut song.
intrigued, i invited her to have a drink with me.
the woman was nonie. 32, from yogyakarta but living in jakarta with her adik. she claimed that she and the girls rotated between three clubs: skorpion, some place in ancol and puri mega near jl pramuka in jakarta timur. most of the girls were janda, either widowed or divorced. some had children, some had none. nonie said that no one was paid a salary and that they relied on tips. i am not sure if i believe that, but it makes sense, given how anxious they were to sit for a drink.
the ladies' drinks, by the way, were the same price as my drink. there was no hidden charge. i bought a few dancers drinks and they were happy to have a hand on their leg and to flirt. i got a light kiss once.
i was ready to go home after a few beers. the emcee came over and asked if i had gotten the nomor hape from all the girls. wow. i forgot, but next time i will. i imagine that a nice, generous guy could make arrangements to see the girls during the day (they work from 10 pm to 3 am). a more intent man could probably make arrangements to meet directly after work. you'd need some indonesian language skills. the girls said they were hesitant to talk to me before they know i could speak indonesian. if you don't speak indonesian, i am sure you could dance with the girls and have fun in the dark. although nothing too nakal.
i walked over to jl peconogan and had some food. it's a culinary hotspot, you know. my free tip to you all. then i was full and tired, so i went home and slept.
