Before we start I'll describe myself again as a reminder. I'm a white guy, 6'1, dark hair and at the time I was about 24 or 25 and 75kg.
For the past week I have started up with a bunch of physical activity. I had just re-joined the gym and also started football training (Australian football for clarification). So I'd been very sore for a few days with all that exercise mounting on itself after god knows how long of lack of physical activity thanks to COVID and the Victorian lockdowns.
I got home from work on Friday after 2 especially long days working and just thought "fuck this I need a massage". I have probably never actually said this before, I've had massages before but it's just never really been my thing. The only time I really didn't mind one was this one time I had been to a reflexology place when I was overseas but I wasn't on a lot of money and figured that was probably expensive here anyways. So, I went on Google to try and find a place that looked decent, was open after 6pm and wasn't too far away. I also didn't really want to go to one in a shopping centre because I've seen people there getting massages and I'd rather not have some kind of audience, that just seemed really awkward to me.
After a quick search I found a place nearby that was open. I called up to see if I needed to book in my time, because COVID, they replied it's ok I can just come in no worries. I drove the 10 minutes to get there and was greeted at the door by a very pretty petite Asian girl, I didn't think much of it at first but that just shows how naΓ―ve I really was. She showed me to one of the massage rooms, it all seemed legit so far, it wasn't like one of those places that just has a mattress as a massage table.
When I enter the room she said to just strip and that she'll be back in a minute. I looked around for a towel but didn't see one so I just stripped to my underwear because I didn't want to freak her out or be kicked out of the place for being a pervert. When she comes back she said in broken English "no, no. Strip all." To which my first thought was "huh maybe this place isn't as legit as I thought, or maybe it's just the Asian culture".
