Paramount Therapy at The Paramount Centre, 11-12/108 Bourke Street, Melbourne CBD is a top-floor shop in a busy centre with several massage shops a couple of seconds’ walk apart. The therapists call out from their doorways, so you’ll get a cheeky welcome before you’ve decided where to go. The massage ranges from basic to properly good, and the erotic massage extras are HJ-based, with a slow, teasing build when you ask for it.
Communication and customer interaction
- Walk-ins are the norm, and therapists will invite you into their shop as you pass. Some therapists also take bookings on WhatsApp, and a few work only certain days of the week, so ask when you book.
- Therapists ask how you’d like the massage, so say soft, firm or slow at the start.
- Extras come up after the flip, with the usual menu of HJ, nude HJ and body slide. Ask what else is on offer, since the menu isn’t always listed in full.
- English is workable, and the atmosphere is friendly and a little cheeky.
Location, access, atmosphere and cleanliness
- The shop is on an upper floor of the Paramount Centre on Bourke Street. The ground floor is very busy, so most punters take the escalator to the top floor, where it’s much quieter.
- There are around six massage shops in the centre, all close together, so it’s easy to compare options on the spot.
- Rooms are curtained cubicles, so keep your voice down.
- It’s clean and tidy, and the shop is easy to slip in and out of at lunchtime.
Therapists
- Asian therapists, mostly in their 30s and 40s, presentable and cheeky, with several dressing in short skirts or tight tops.
- Looks and builds vary from slim to curvy, and the more mature therapists often bring plenty of confidence.
- Some therapists are in on set days, so a favourite may not be there every day.
Service and massage quality
- The massage ranges from basic to decent. Some therapists are better with oil, so ask for an oil massage if you’d like more from it.
- Teasing comes quickly if you ask for slow and soft, with light touches along the thighs. Others get straight to the extras with little teasing.
- Extras include HJ, nude HJ and body slide.
- HJ technique ranges from slow, teasing and well built to brisk when time is short, so say what pace you’d like.
Pricing and extras
- Massage prices start from 30 minutes for $65 and an hour around $95.
- HJ is $50 and nude HJ is $100, and body slide is also on the menu.
- Prices are set by each therapist, so agree the total and what’s included before you start.
Session flow and timing
- The massage runs 30 to 40 minutes on a longer booking, then you flip and the extras follow.
- On a short booking, the flip can come with only 15 minutes left, so say early if you’d like more time on the extras, or book longer.
- Clean-up follows the finish, and some therapists don’t rush you out.
Overall customer experience
- A handy, easy stop for a lunchtime visit in the heart of the CBD, with a friendly welcome and a short walk to compare other shops.
- The massage isn’t the main drawcard, and results depend on the therapist, so choose by the welcome you get and ask for what you’d like.
- Punters say a longer booking makes the session feel less rushed.
Quotes
- “Walked up to the place on the top floor, always find it funny the way the girls here call out to you like in Thailand. Liked the look of the woman working here so asked for a 40 minute massage.”
- “She asked how I wanted it, and I said reasonably firm, and she started the massage. After a while she asked if I’d like an oil massage and she was much better at that.”
- “I flipped and she massaged my front for a while, then asked if I’d like any extras. Offered HJ for $50 and NHJ for $100. I didn’t ask if anything else was available.”
- “I was in the city and thought I would see what was on offer at the Paramount Centre. It was very busy on the ground floor, so tried my luck on the upper floors.”
- “Started with a full-body relaxation massage (about 30-40 mins). She kept checking the pressure etc. Massage was overall okay. She took her time with back massage and flip happened with around 15 minutes left.”
- “So read about her in reviews and wanted to try myself. Connected via whatsapp and booked her.”
