Prior to the pandemic, 9 VIP was a really solid option. The women were hot, it was $1.6 standard, and you always got a full hour. I remember Blue from back in early 2020 and she was terrific. Then Covid hit and they closed until August 2020 (4-5 months). When they re-opened, they had extremely strict covid protocols, masks, temperature checks, etc. etc. And the price was raised to $1.7. It still wasn't bad, I remember Seven who had a rocking body from August 2020. But the new protocols took some shine off the place. Other places were better, and I stopped going as often but they still had some nice ladies from time to time. I pretty much stopped going last May because they were still really strict with the masks and most of the other spas had got more relaxed. I went back about 1 month ago and had a lousy time. First, I got the whole discussion on the price increase. Some guys have posted the price did not increase but I was told the standard is now $2.1. The service wasn't that great and it was still mostly masked. I don't think it offers very good value anymore and more importantly it just isn't a fun place. I know everyone has different opinions on covid safety and I don't want to debate that but part of this hobby is having an intimate experience and at least the illusion of a connection and for me the masks ruin it. Maybe it will come back at some time but for now I am staying away for 9 VIP.
