Secrets is a very large bar and hotel complex nestled right in the heart of Phnom Penh’s hostess bars. There may be no clearer sign of how much the city and even its hostess bar scene has http://www.thefreedictionary.com/free chat developed than the opening of this rather large business right off of the famed Sisowath Quay riverside. Of course Secrets is not to be confused with Le Cyrcee in Phnom Penh which is sometimes referred to as the secret bar. There is nothing very secret about Secrets. It’s a big place in the main tourist part of the city. It has several bright signs outside and the place is advertised on signs, shirts and tuk tuks across the city. From Pattaya to Phnom Penh? While this Secrets has nothing to do with the bar mentioned above the newer Phnom Penh place may very well be related to the Secrets bar in Pattaya. The two businesses share a more or less identical logo. Both also have a hotel as a part of the business. Without knowing anything more than what is visible to the casual onlooker it seems rather obvious that the one Secrets is at least based on the other. secrets cambodia bar in Phnom Penhsecrets cambodia bar in Phnom Penh The Secrets in Pattaya still seems to be going strong so it makes sense that they might have expanded. Especially as the market is obviously growing in Phnom Penh. Meanwhile many in the adult entertainment industry over in Pattaya tell me things have been better. I do know that Secrets in Pattaya was once one of the liveliest bars in the city. Back then the place was full of guys and gals. Many punters seemed to have found their way to place thanks to promotion of one sort or another. Of course word of mouth is the best promotion of all. Secrets had no shortage of that back when the guy managing the place was also active on a popular internet message board. Secrets in Phnom Penh The Secrets under review here is located on Street 136 in Phnom Penh. It is just a block from the riverside. The place is nestled in between several hostess bars. It took over the building of a bleach white hotel that was used as much by short time customers taking ladies out of nearby bars as it was by overnight and long stayers. Back then the rooms were priced accordingly. Under the new Secrets name the rooms cost upwards of fifty dollars and require a full check in procedure even for those who only want to use the rooms for an hour or so. Unfortunately a rise in the prices has not come with any other major upgrade. The basic rooms look pretty much like they did under the old name and management. secrets cambodia bar girlssecrets cambodia bar girls The bar or nightclub on the ground floor however is something else entirely. The place was totally redone to make it one of nicer looking places in town. It is a large place with a big bar in the middle. Several large televisions, specialized lighting and a professional sound system set the mood. There is also plenty of seating around and I imagine more than enough floor space to cut a rug. There are a large number of people on staff too. That includes uniformed and warm greeters who stand out on the street welcoming people inside. Then there are the people working the door inside. Beyond them there is a full bar and wait staff along with all sorts of hostesses. Most seem to be uniformed or wearing themed bits of kit when holidays roll around. Many of the women on staff are quite pretty too. The gals on staff are all attentive and friendly enough. But many seem shy and few are forthcoming. So entering the bar is nothing like going to many of the other hostess bars nearby where many of the women rush over to any new guy who walks in off the street. Instead it just sort of looks like a lot of people are waiting around for something to do. Service and summary Despite all of the obvious outlay on the nightclub which is rather nice I have not seen many men inside of the bar or hotel. Granted I don’t go to the place on a daily basis and stay planted in my seat to observe all that goes on. Nor do I have access to the place’s receipts. But I have been inside enough to note an obvious lack of clientele. Yet there are smaller and much simpler bars nearby that never seem to be short on clients. Real estate agents always bang on about location. And it definitely does matter. But when we are talking about the hospitality industry especially where it intersects with adult entertainment there is much more at play. That helps explains why plain looking strip clubs and sex saunas seemingly in the middle of nowhere in the US and Europe can do brisk business while elaborate go go bars on Walking Street in Pattaya can fail. There is no doubt that the club at Secrets is well done. But that doesn’t seem to be enough to draw in significant numbers of punters. And I think I understand why. I personally think the money spent doing up the bar area could have been better spent redoing the room. At the rate being charged they don’t seem worth it. Especially considering that the noise from the sound system and street below echoes into the rooms until very early in the morning hours. I give a star for effort.

The Bar is an unmarked bar on a Phnom Penh street that is not really known https://www.washingtonpost.com/newssearch/?query=free chat for its nightlife. Or at least not the sort of nightlife that is common covered on this site. There has been a gay bar operating nearby for sometime though I can’t tell you much more about it than the name. Years ago I wrote a fairly extensive overview of the hostess bars in Phnom Penh. In the time since the scene has really ballooned. Today there are a staggering number of hostess bars that extend throughout the city of Phnom Penh. Even the original bar areas like those on Street 136 and Street 51 have expanded in many directions. Today a person can walk for blocks along the riverside and see dozens of bars each with dozens of women out front. In such a situation it may seem like the bars all blend in with each other. It can also appear that the qualities of a bar can change from one day to the next and women come in and out of the place with regularity. In some ways this is all true. But there are still places that stand out from the pack or are otherwise of special interest. The Bar is one of those places. The Bar in Phnom Penh As stated above The Bar is a somewhat secretive place in the heart of Phnom Penh. Many of the businesses I have covered here over the years go out of their way to get noticed. Even those that prefer to stay more under the radar still tend to have signs marking their business. The Bar on the other hand is located before plain glass doors in a nondescript building that doesn’t have as much as a sign. inside the bar phnom penhinside the bar phnom penh This seems to be totally by design. It may even have to do with the clientele which includes a significant number of expats who live in the city full time. It’s not difficult to figure out that such people might not want to be seen entering a bar filled with ladies especially if it is the middle of a red light district. The Bar can be found next to the Saravoan Hotel on Street 178. The only real indication of its presence comes on the occasions when some of the hostesses sit out front. The Bar may not even have a real name for all I know. Since there is no sign there is no real way to know. People who visit the place refer to it as The Bar. So I am just going with that for the purposes of this review. I am sure you can see why the place interests me. Inside The Bar The Bar was started by a former hostess who once could be found working another large bar popular with expats. She opened her own place some time ago and has had no problem bringing in customers. That may be due in large part to the fact that she had no problem recruiting a staff of around ten mostly attractive women either. A few familiar faces are joined by some others I have never seen before. They’re all quite friendly and welcoming though they also tend to be very professional. Of course the profession they are in is a lot different than office work. So although they are good at their jobs they are not a bunch of cold prudes. In fact one of the things that makes this bar stand out is the friendliness and adventurousness the women can display in the right company. The place is no Sofie’s or Cyrcee by any means. But it’s far from being anything like a no touch table dance club in the West. As far as prices goes things are on the high side for a hostess bar. But they’re not so far out of the norm that most would notice. Prices have been going up across the board lately and the market seems able to bear it. Anyone comparing drink prices to countries in Western Europe would still find the place a bargain. There’s no clear and open push for a barfine at The Bar. But that doesn’t mean the ladies never meet with guys outside of the bar. Some of them most certainly do. When it comes to that prices aren’t really out of the normal range either. But things between consenting adults are just that and different parties come to different arrangements. It is as a place to spend some time and have some drinks in a relatively private atmosphere that The Bar comes into its own. For that I give the place three stars. Sky Massage is a large massage parlor located in the Boeung Keng Kang section of Phnom Penh. There are countless massage parlors of all sorts in Phnom Penh. Some are more obvious than others. Some very large complexes exist. I can’t https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/?search=free chat help but think that their shear size helps draws interest. Especially as some offer an entirely different kind of experience than others. In the past I have been intrigued enough to research some large massage centers in the city. At times t has turned out that some large and elaborate massage parlors really did offer nothing more than innocent body rubs. But that is not always the case. Sky Massage is one place where at least some employees seem to be keyed in to the fact that a lot of foreigner visitors like their massages to wind up with a happy ending. So they organize things in a way that makes that more likely to occur. Sky Massage and Sauna Sky Massage and Sauna is located on Street 310. It takes up a rather large building. The place is clearly marked though the entrance through the door on the right side can at times be obscured when the parking area is filled with large vehicles. A local guy working the door and parking lot helps customers into the place. Sky Massage cambodiaSky Massage cambodia Through the door there is a very basic lobby with wooden chairs along both walls. A large and jovial female manager and her assistant work the front desk. There the prices for services are clearly marked in English. An oil massage is $7 USD. Access to a steam room and pools costs $3. A basic massage is available along with that for $3. Customers looking for a more sensual massage would tend towards the oil massage. The people who work the place probably know or at least sense that. I can’t be totally sure but it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure that out. Those who do opt for an oil massage are led up a flight of stairs on the right and into one of several very large private rooms with locking doors. A free bottle of water comes with the massage. Massage and summary The oil massage rooms are sparse and simply adequate. The same could probably be said about the masseuses. There doesn’t seem to be a huge pool of ladies who do the body rubs at Sky. The gals who are there are regulars who have worked for a while. They tend to be middle aged and look it. Oil massages are performed more or less the same way they are in any other massage parlor. At some point however things may take a turn as the ladies seem keen to make a few extra dollars. Happy endings by hand are routinely suggested with a requested tip of twenty dollars. Of course this doesn’t mean that every masseuse will offer the service to every guy who comes in. Or that they won’t ask for more or less. But this seems to be the way things generally progress. Sky Massage is a large but rather plain business with women willing to give guys a hand. The place definitely isn’t a straight forward jack shack like the shuttered Panda Massage used to be. But the masseuses on staff are at least up for offering happy endings to guys who look like they may want them. The masseuses don’t specialize in the service but they’re good at what they do. Overall the place is pretty average. Two-and-a-half stars. Tokyo Barber shop is a relatively high priced barbershop in Phnom Penh. Behind a small storefront on a side street there is a shop staffed by a number of men and women. Everything http://www.bbc.co.uk/search?q=free chat from haircuts to shampooing, manicures, pedicures and full body oil massages are available inside. A casual reader may wonder why a barbershop would be mentioned on a website that purports to cover the commercial sex industry. There are a few reasons. One is that blowjob bars and even brothels often take the appearance of barbershops in Asian countries where sex work is prohibited or otherwise repressed. Another is that certain barbershops in some Asian countries staff attractive women in sexy garb meant to bring in male clientele. And in this specific case at least one source online claims that Tokyo Barber offers happy endings. So I saw it fit to investigate. Tokyo Barbershop and Spa Tokyo Barbershop is located on Street 278 in the relatively upscale area of Boeung Keng Kang. It’s not far from the previously reviewed Filling Station. As mentioned above the front of the shop is a bit small and not indicative of all that goes on inside. There is a main floor filled with barber chairs at the entrance. Behind that there is an area filled with hair washing chairs. Off to the side there is another set of private rooms where the massages take place. tokyo barber shop phnom penhtokyo barber shop phnom penh There is also a VIP section as is common with most local barbershops of this type. For a larger payment customers can have their hair and nails seen to while they lounge in privacy. Nothing more than standard services go on in these VIP rooms though. At least not at Tokyo Barber. Haircuts are done by younger local guys in uniform. There are also many local women on staff. They wear a tight skirt and shirt combo that is somewhat similar to the kits over at the Khmer Angkor Barbershop. Most of the women are quite attractive and friendly. They’re also good at their jobs. There are also one or two women who are on the larger side. Especially by local standards. Those seem to be the only gals who do body massages. Oil massage The main focus here is the massage parlor. As stated one source that claims expertise across Asia has reported that this place does happy endings. I have no idea what this is based on. I also imagine that the owners of the shop and the ladies who do the oil massages would be surprised or even shocked to learn of this claim. Without expending undue effort I can say that this place is a totally mainstream barbershop. They do offer neck, head and even full body massages. The latter are done with oil on a mostly exposed body as is normal. But there isn’t even the slightest hint of any kind of erotic service being done here. It really is that straight forward. In summary, it’s not sensual If anything this should serve as a good demonstration or even warning that you shouldn’t believe everything you read on the internet. Of course many similar examples abound. But in this case the reporting is just so far from the truth that I am left scratching my head. I can only guess that some people are now just writing random nonsense about places they have never even been. I don’t know what else could lead to this. As I have repeated many times I write only for the entertainment of the readers. And I don’t and can’t take any responsibility for anyone other than myself. I still do my best to be accurate in my reporting if only because I know no other way. Tokyo Barber is just a barbershop. Nothing more or less. They offer regular massages in private rooms that go no further than normal body rubs. There’s nothing adult oriented about the place. At most they have some pretty ladies on staff. I guess that’s better than nothing. But there’s simply nothing else to report. I started covering the live sex cam scene nearly ten years ago. As a part and parcel of the commercial sex business it clearly deserves attention. Camming has become so well known and mainstream that the word itself is now listed in dictionaries and encyclopedias. So these days more people probably https://en.search.wordpress.com/?src=organic&q=free chat interact with cam models than other kind of sex workers. As has often been the case in recent history the adult entertainment industry paved the way. When the internet became widely available several websites were set up with voyeur cams. Now internet connected closed circuit TV is a norm of every day life. Then as technology improved several webcam sites popped up. Now “live streaming” is a mainstream outlet used by everyone from major news organizations to guys who play video games in front of an audience. Camming is where it’s at. That explains why even Thai go go bars have gotten in on the game and started doing live streams of their own. Technology and live video has clearly connected the world. Yet some lines have also been blurred in the process. While I am all for an interconnected globe where we can meet each other I can also appreciate different characteristics, practices and individual characteristics in people. That can be wide ranging or narrow in scope depending on the https://naughtyfriendgirl.com/blog situation. Think globally, act locally For example, I am a big fan of Asian sex cams. While I try to be objective in my overall reporting I make no secret of that. Yet there are times when I would like to get more specific than just “Asian”. If I want to practice my Korean or just want to see some sweet thing mutter sweet nothing in Thai while I am stuck in some puritanical wasteland I would love the opportunity to find women from those particular regions. asian cam model in red lingerieasian cam model in red lingerie Cam sites typically only let viewers narrow down the models by general region. So a site might have a “European” channel, an “African” channel and an “Asian” channel. This can help somewhat. I say somewhat for two reasons. One is that Asia is a huge continent that spans Russian to Taiwan with everything in between. Another is that a significant number of the models who show up in those channels are not actually Asian! That’s where Lemoncams comes in. This site allows you to narrow down cam models by country. They actually have a fully functioning and interactive map. When you tap on a particular spot the map shows you the name of the country and the number of models broadcasting from it. This is a fantastic idea! I only wish I had discovered it sooner. It makes browsing Asian sex cams a breeze. An appreciation for Asian sex cams As an intrepid world traveler and global sex industry researcher I have a particular interest in interacting with women from all over the world. That includes ladies from well known and popular countries like Thailand but also those off the beaten path. My dauntless efforts have taken me to the edge of the known world and back. It was often in the margins that I found the most interesting people. Imagine being able to dial right in to a lovely lady from Malaysia who is willing to show you her beautiful breasts over the internet for a few tokens of appreciation. Well you actually don’t have to imagine it anymore. This is now as easy as tapping a few buttons thanks to the combination of modern technology and modern minds. Asian sex cams have really opened up! There was a time when the mere idea of talking to someone live over a video screen was a sci-fi fantasy. I still remember seeing it on television shows like Star Trek and the Jetsons back when such an idea was relegated to the realm of pure fantasy. Now it is a part of everyday life. This must be how people born during the rise of the telephone or moving pictures must feel. Out with the old, in with the new! The same can be said of the newer technology itself. When internet video first burst https://naughtyfriendgirl.com/ on the scene we were all amazed. I saw a short low resolution porn clip on my computer screen in the late 1990’s and felt like I was rediscovering sex videos. Looking back at the video now would be laughable. Going back to the old model of watch cam models probably would be too. Things keep changing. Sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. I guess it is all subjective. But I don’t know a man alive who wouldn’t want to be able to immediately access naked women from any country on earth without even leaving their bedroom. |
