A hobby buddy clued me into SP, which he visited frequently two years ago. I had my first visit recently, which is intentionally a kind of screening session for new clients. I already knew it was important to be especially well behaved and that I would be set up with a girl who would (1) not necessarily be among the hottest available and (2) would be cautious and report her impressions back to management. Once I had passed, I'd be given the codes to unlock the website phoos, schedules and client reviews.
And that's how it played out. My girl's photos (Ariel - tanned, brunette spinner, pretty grey eyes) looked sizzling and while she was very attractive (8 or 8.5) the reality was less than the model type I'd hoped for. But she was well within the range of the $350-$400/hr. mid-20s FS ladies you would see at Aphrodite Companions. She was a sweet girl, quite pleasant to converse with but obviously much more reserved than she would be on a repeat visit. As the session progressed after my shower, it became clear that an AMP type session (without the strange disappearing act) would be the minimum and that greater engagement was YMMV based on my responses and interests, our chemistry and tips. Yet she would not state explicitly how much for what, at least not during the screening session.
So basically I got a full mutual nude massage with lots of mutual roaming, LFK, DATO (vag was off limits due to the time of the month), some uncovered oral cock play (not a BJ but sort of a head/tongue bathing with kissing), two HJs to forceful completion and lots of dirty talk. Overall, it was much better than an AMP session because she was so pretty and personable and, surprisingly, intimate. Technically, I've had better HJs from AMP girls, who seem to excel in stroke variation, intensity and duration. But it was cleary more rewarding than any AMP experience I've had and was worth the $250/hr rate plus my generous $100 tip. (And yes, I've gotten 9-level, two round FS performance from my personal favorite and quite hot Brazilian/Lebanese Jessica for $250/hr, so the SpellBound service/cost ratio does look odd to those who have not visited. But this girl was mildly hotter than Jessica, had her hands and mouth virtually all over me, I felt up pretty much whatever I wanted and the denial of FS created heightened sexual tension which made the experience strangely satisfying, kinda like getting to first or second base on a first date.) Also, at the end it was quite clear that she wanted me to visit her again and that my experience would be more engaging and rewarding on subsequent visits, without at all promising FS or anything specific.
When I checked the website I was blown away at the sheer beauty of the regular girls, who in their photos average over a 9 in appearance, which is exactly what I was looking for from this establishment. It has been proven in the market that the prettiest SpellBound girls can, if they wish, go on to become ful service providers at or above $600/hr. I saw one of them over a year ago - Juliana/Jules, who is pure physical perfection (an absolute 10).
My buddy told me after the fact that one approach he used with success was to lay out the base rate and the tip up front so the girl knows exactly what she's working with and can adapt her performance accordingly. Having visited SB and reviewed the photos of all the girls, I finally understand why most clients are hesitant to provide too much detail to non-clients (i.e., the curious lurkers). The purpose is to keep the place from either being perceived as, or operated as, a brothel, and to maintain the extremely high quality of available ladies. It also helps keep out cheap guys with an AMP or low end ho mentality which supports the girls in making their own personal decisions on comfort and boundaries. That means it tends to maximize my ability to see gorgeous ladies and become as intimate as we mutually desire without the whole hobby world knowing exactly what happened or why YMMV is tolerable at FS pricing but without necessarily actual FS.
So Spellbound is the real deal. Somewhat exclusive, mysterious and exciting. And full of super hot model type ladies who enjoy play and are selectively game for more action than you may read here or on TER.
I wil definitely repeat.
