Again, with the help of this forum I had planned to hit Lions Spa on my second night (which turned out to be my first night due to my flight delay). I figured I'd want an early night, a relaxing start, you get the idea.

On Thursday around 8PM I took a taxi from Parque Kennedy to Lions Spa at 2024 Arenales. The taxi knew the address but not the spa. The trip was s/6 one way, and I didn't have him wait since it's not a scary neighborhood and there were plenty of taxis passing by.

Once in the doors you walk up some stairs and there is a check-in counter. They take your valuables (including camera and phone) and lock them in a locker and give you a set of keys. i wasn't charged an entry fee. You go into a changing room where your key works a larger locker for your clothes. You strip, put on a towel and enter the spa.

The facilities seemed nice enough. There were dry and wet saunas, showers, places to sit and relax, etc. I took advantage of the saunas, relaxed for a bit, took a shower and headed into the bar area. I was unaware, but it seems on some nights around 8-9pm there is a 'show'. The girls were all in the bar at this time and not really available immediately. They did some dances, stripped down (some got naked, others topless, and some kept their tops on).

I had a beer which was s/8. You pay at the end since your wallet is locked up, they keep track of you by your key number.

At the end of the show, they drew numbers. The winner got first choice of girls. They drew about 10 numbers and of course I didn't win, so by the end of the show many of the hottest girls were taken.

I was thinking about cutting my losses when a nice-looking girl walked by so I flagged her down. This is not like strip clubs in the US or elsewhere--I found you had to mostly wave the girls down if you wanted to chat. They won't always just come up to you automatically.

This would be a good time to point out that I have relatively high standards for women. If a girl has a belly or breast implants she's automatically a 1 in my book. I know that sounds harsh, but I do have high standards. My favorite is thin, tall model-types but I knew I wouldn't find that in Peru. I also like thin spinners or, despite my username, thin girls with large natural breasts. But to be in the 9-10 range for me you pretty much need to be Olga Kurlyenko or Keira Knightley.

So, the girl I was chatting with, whose name I forget, was a solid 6. She was thin, firm, had a cute face though a bit too much makeup, and nice natural tits.

She asked for s/200 and settled for s/150 for massage and servicio. She told me to head upstairs to her room number and wait.

To go upstairs it's necessary to leave through the changing room, go up one flight of stairs and find the room number. Once I was there I took off my towel and made myself comfortable on her massage table. She arrived shortly and had a great attitude. She practiced some english but mostly spoke spanish.

She proceeded to give me a very thorough and good massage. It was just what I needed. After the flip she massaged my front then did the nice transition from massage to, well, servicio. Decent covered BJ, then multiple positions. Not sure if bbbj was on the menu but I prefer covered for safety. There was some dfk and I would rate the sex as decent, but not mind-blowing.

Afterwards I returned to the spa, took another shower, got dressed and headed to the front desk. I considered staying for another girl, but I was still tired from the night before, and I wasn't sure if I was going to get ripped off when I went to pay. I didn't. The total was s/158, for the girl and the one beer. No entrada and definitely no gringo upcharge. There was a 5% fee for paying with a credit card, which I did.

I went downstairs and caught a s/6 taxi back to parque kennedy.

For the heck of it I walked up and down calle de pizza a few times. I saw a few streetwalkers, who weren't shy and were whistling and staring. None were even remotely doable, although it was hard to get a good look without them pouncing.

While I would have gladly used the services of a pizza alley girl, I did hear a story from a friend I made in Peru who didn't know about my hobby but was just mentioning a random story. He knew a fat american guy who liked the chicas. He picked up two young girls from pizza alley and had some drinks with them. Next thing he knew he was passed out in the street and the girls took everything...his wallet, watch, wedding ring. So while I don't get overly paranoid, it's best to watch yourself. The story came from a trustworthy source who had no reason to make it up.

The absolute best thing -- for me -- is paying a girl AND getting frequent flyer miles!

This is a really good read and good guide so far, thanks for taking the time to write.
