Welcome to world of lady pimps and their young bait. There was a time when lodges were genuinely cheap resting places. They still are; but they are now notorious for sex escapades. With Kampala Capital City Authority KCCA not willing to share its pavements, coupled with police raids and the unforgiving cold nights, prostitution seems to have found the most amenable unguent: private massage.
Just a dial away, commercial sex can now find you within the comfort of your own walls; masseuses β if they insist β a phone call away. My fact-finding mission started with a call to a couple of numbers that used to advertise in the print media. On face value, the numbers seem to be of different massage entities, but they all are from the same pimp. Once she agrees, she gives you the phone number of the girl operating closest to your area.
The types of massages offered are normal massage β that go for Shs 50, A normal massage goes for between Shs 15, and Shs 25, I will not do erotic at that price. How can she agree to that small fee; is she the one going to work on you? Does she know what we go through? According to Jody, the prostitutes β sorry, masseuses β are paid a monthly salary and depending on the generosity of their clients, earn extra through tips.
They are given a maximum of an hour to complete each massage. It is one thing to read about our girls being held captive in foreign lands by foreign pimps and totally another to be held captive within your own country by a fellow citizen and fellow woman. In case you were wondering, going by the quality of the normal massage, I was not interested in what the erotic one would unleash.
Unknown to the customers, however, the girls keep all contact details of their clients by telephone number and location. For all we know, she could be part of the state spy network; those were simply too many men for one young lady to give all tribes of massages. Whereas for the other massage types Jody pretended to Felix that sex was never part of the package, the intentions were clear for the erotic massage β sex is the nerve ending of this excuse of a massage.
