Re: L18h5

Hi guys, newbie here.

Been reading through all the posts and FAQ first before posting so that I don't ask stupid questions.

Back in September/October 2010, there were quite a few posts by people at the sticky thread for this sub-forum (“Help for Newbies / Blur Blokes / Lazy Bros - Questions and Answers” http://www.sammyboyforum.com/showthread.php?t=12845) stating that L1805’s OKT Peter was posting fake FRs here and that his service is actually quite bad.

Is this still the case? How long should we consider such poor feedback to be still valid for? After all, it has been 4 years since the posts.

Btw, how long do OKTs usually work at their brothels? Do they quit their jobs after a while and shift around like other jobs, or is it a more long-term type of a deal?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Re: L18h5

The last time there was an FR on house 1805, was probably the last time I myself wrote an FR about a month ago.

So time for me to contribute one.


MENG LU 1805


This girl arrived some time in May if I am not wrong and I had her at good old 2831A.

It was one of those days when I was looking for a new cute SYT with nice boobs, but did not have any specific targets in mind.

So went down to 2831A ask willie if he has any ideas. He made a few calls and then said he will get me this relatively new girl called Meng Lu to come.

When she arrived from 1805 some 10 minutes later, I was very happy to see her. Really this was what I needed to release myself... a young pretty but slightly tanned girl with nice boobs... her boobs looks very nice in her low cut dress and I hoped they would look as good when she stripped.... she signed in the book smiled at me, took my hand and up we go...

Once in the room, I helped her to strip and wow, a nice pair of firm boobs which are around B or C cup came out... Shiok ah.... could not get enough of her body and started to lick her boobs there and then...

Meng lu looks so young and cute to me and have not had one like this in a while... as earlier batches quite disappointing.... I would describe her as a mix between departed Tian Tian 1654a and Jin Jin WH1612 in terms of looks... yeah, it is really hot for me and one of my favourite types...

Personality wise she is quiet and submissive like Miao Miao 1654a that type... I like..

In the bathroom she inserted my dick in between her legs and rubbed it up and down round and round... I had to stop her because it made me feel like shooting...

Then she bend down for a nice BBBJ.... really good.

Onto the bed action... she did all the necessary routine but one thing I must note about this girl is that she is very obedient and submissive.... she will obey your commands.... for example at AR I wanted her to do it for a longer time, and she spend 10 minute slowly do AR until I can't tahan...

Her BBBJ also VERY GOOD.... she is the type that will use your HARD dick head to drag against the inside of her cheek till it pops out of her mouth with a sound, like those porn movies.... SONG AH! and she does it for a long time... really service your dick well

Service wise, I give this girl an 8/10. Exceeds my basic requirements.

Her body is very curvy and I love looking at it in the mirror, especially during doggy and when we're both kneeling but our bodies upright and facing the mirror... love to grip her boobs and shake them as I thrust into her....

Only not so good thing is this girl is not so willing to French, takes time to get to know her and warm her up to this. Minus half mark for this, but other than that her service and GFE very strong.

So overall 7.5 for her.

The other good thing is when I call her from other houses, usually no queue and she can come almost immediately. Heng ah!

Talking about 1805, wonder if there are July newbies that joined or started work? Haven't gone there for a while, anyone knows?

Re: L18h5

Went to this house the other day. Friday evening after work. 5-6 girls sitting around. One just walking out for dinner (I guess). Asked for her and that was OK.

Name I got was "Be Be" but couldn't find a girl with that name in the thread so not sure. Tall, slim, hourglass figure (small waist, c cup boobs nice round ass). She is 22 if I remember correctly.

I the room undressed and chat bit. Nice smooth body. Lightly hairy pussy. Nice boobs. all good and hoping for a good time.

Shower SOP. Nothing special. She seems to be a bit quiet/shy. Try to kiss but she pulls back.

After shower proceed to bed. Bit catbath limited to nipples and chest but not very exciting and just for a minute. I try to touch her pussy but she keeps it far away from me. So just admire it a bit in all the mirrors.

Proceed with covered (?) BJ which was surprising. My buddy was in the mood but that changed quickly; very uninspired CBJ with lots of very very fake moaning that annoyed me

After just a minute it seems she's trying to make me come. Pulling my dick in front of her open mouth. Useless because capped so why "aim" for mouth. Still very fake moaning Dick getting soft. So uninspired...

Ask her to stop after 2 minutes or so. Bored and getting soft. Again try gently to kiss but she pulls back. Try to touch pussy but she pulls back. Getting bored quite quickly like this.

Tell her to proceed with the action. Try cowgirl first. But rhythm is just totally off. Feel like a bunch a teenagers not knowing how to fuck. Change to missionary so I can manage myself. Nice pussy, tight as well but still those fake moans....

Just enjoy myself for a few minutes and try not to think about her. Focus on her nice and tight pussy and shoot my load after a while. She's sexy and quite pretty. Just not really into it (or me).

After the action some massage (squeezing my arms a bit) and another quick shower. In and out in 30 minutes. Won't be back.

Thumbs up Money (1805)

I just realised tat I had forgotten to share my fr in sbf on Money (1805)...she is by no means a newbie, prolly been ard for many months now, but think still worth sharing for Samsters who may hv missed out on trying her, especially wif all the newbies cumming in recently....Money is not tat strong on sex svc but when it cums to chio syt looks n stylish classy fashion sense plus high gfe I sld think she is worth a punt at $150...

Money (1805)....23yr old mm fm Hunan...quite fair, pretty chio kawaii feminine syt...lovely eyes, mascara eyelashes look nice n sexy...smallish V shape face wif a cute sexy mole on the lower right side of her face below her lips...soft kissable lips, nice smell!:...oh lordie this mm is ooh so young, pretty, sweet, feminine n adorable that she evokes a 'damsel in distress' demeanour, i wanna protect her n eat her up as well!!...Overall I wld say she is one of the most pretty chio kawaii oh so syts in GL at the mo (even when comparing her to the recent newbies)!...

She is on the petite side, abt 158cm ht, slim shapely legs...fresh slim tight bod, smooth skin...has a tribal tattoo on her upper right arm, kinda like the one that Jolin Tsai has...B- cup boobs perky, wif raisin droplet brownish tits...small perky juicy ass...pussy well trimmed, lovely looking pinkish oyster...has previous ktv experience. ..

Overall sex svc is ok but gfe is excellent!...exudes v natural oh so sweet n adorable young feminine vibes...v sensual - she wore an attractive girly feminine tight fitting small dress (which she got me to unzip!) n a lovely girly feminine light pink bra n panty brief ensemble(which I helped to remove!) tat played off seductively agst her skin tone n texture plus her looks n bod!!...at times shy n coy...blushes n giggles...soft spoken n gentle...soft sensual moans when high...xiao niao yi ren!...passionate n sensual frenching....naturally spontaneous...damn bloody shiok!!...also strikes me as genuine...!

Shower: no action, just a scrub ...Bed action: i felt so comfortable wif this beautiful young sweetie n sensed her sexual coyness that i immediately took control...flipped her over, pinned her down, vgd bod n pussy feel...looked deep into her lovely eyes n softly slowly kissed her lips, she opened her mouth n our tongues melted, me then caressed her face, our bods tight together wif her hands n arms locked in embrace...pure bliss!!...

Then i played, licked n sucked on her boobs/tits which got a nice response fm her wif soft moans, her hands caressing me face!...licked her bod all over which got her squirming n moaning...

Following tat I climbed up n placed me throbbing hard cock in her lovely sweet mouth, at the same time gently fingering her clit n pussy...great reaction as she squirmed n gasped while licking n sucking me cock!...her bbbj is not bad but lacks suction...still v shiok to see her saliva foam running down me cock while she stroked, sucked n licked wif shy sensual eyecontact!...lick n suck of me balls n lick of me perineum nice...no ar.....standing bbbj while she kneeled on the bed was damn bloody nice as she looked so sweet n submissive lovingly sucking me cock, great side mirrors view of her face n bod as well!..

Fj vgd as she is quite tight n totally let herself go naturally to enjoy....arms/hands all over each others bods...soft moans, eyes rolling...super shiok passionate sensual frenching...enjoyed doing it in numerous positions: standing n flip(as she is light n petite); doggie becuz of her small perky ass sexy sweet, plus she reached back to caress n squeeze me balls!; misch v close tight bod feel her legs closed ard me cock n balls, our cheeks touching; foldable chair wif her ass on the edge of the bed, her legs wrapped ard me ass, arms/hands embracing me tightly; asian cowgal piak piak piak, she worked it, at times bending down to lick me nipples, at other times frenchie till i shot me load...she still on top of me, me cock still in her, hugging closely, frenchie, panting, gasping n then sighing in pleasure, this continued for quite some time wif her pussy hugging me satisfied cock, felt so warm n close to her, damn bloody shiok!!:...ended wif her lying in me arms...cuddle, french, chit chat...v nice!...

Overall had a v enjoyable time wif this Money...ooh so sweet, pretty, young n adorable mm who exudes v strong natural gfe n feminine feel...definite gem just for her looks, high fashion dress style plus strong gfe...

#Standard caveat applies.... Think it is impt for pple reading FRs/recommendations to always try n bear in mind tat based on human nature variables factor the experience each punter gets fm the mm shall prolly/possibly not be the same...heck even the same punter may not get a similar experience on rtf...the mm is human afterall, wif feelings, emotions, mood swings, prejudice/bias, health issues etc - this is the collective human nature variables factor tat i am talking abt, a fundamental std caveat whenever one reads an FR./recommendation

I agree with you man. That's why some gems it is good to share as soon as possible. And support with RTF and FR plus maybe some added mentions through the actress thread, ranking thread, etc.

Beyond publicity needed for genuinely good gems, think AV needs to clean up the streetwalkers flooding the lorongs. Saw some young Ang mos looking and speaking like mark zuckerberg sitting at the coffeeshops chatting up 50 year old aunties

Nothing wrong with that if it's their thing but would be better if some of these guys, especially locals, could be channelled towards the legal houses I guess.

Re: Biz is getting real tough in GL

Generally 1805 biz quite bad now...becuz quite afew other houses hv newbies n Peter still waiting for his newbies to arrive...

also like I said abv, generally GL150 biz seems to hv dropped, most houses seeing a dip in takings n mms leaving, even newbies leaving after just 1-2 mths becuz no biz...quite sad...n eventually this shall hv an adverse impact for regular punters as well becuz word is getting back to prc tat GL is no longer a gd place to earn $$$...so the quality of newbies cumming in shall not be tat good to mediocre to really cmi....u can actually see the effect already wif the general average quality of newbies in GL now compared to earlier batches....

Anyways back to 1805...think now only Money (1805) n Ferrari (1805) n YiFei (1805) worth a bonk for newbies n rtf for others...these mms r still quality stock in their own ways n can hold their own even wif the latest newbie stocks...
