Newbie Question

[pointcharge]

Can you guys tell the standard tip for L1, L2, L3. I don’t normally do AMPs and don’t know the etiquette. Thanks.

[bigmaczach24]

I agree I’m very new to this and I’m very interested in going to my first one and I am wondering which one people would recommend for first time.

That's top secret stuff. You will have to earn the official ECCIE decoder ring to understand the code. LE is one of those you may learn.

its what you negotiate $$ for L3

Read the reviews so you know what to expect and where. Plenty of places are strictly HJ /L1–so realize that from the start. As always, $$$$ talks, but know before you go.

And relax. The quickest way to an unfun time in an AMP is to be nervous. They will think you are LE and trying to concentrate on when to arrrst them and not commit a crime.

Dive on head first and visit a spa. All are tug friendly at minimum. See what you can do with forty bucks. Then come and write a review. Until you do a review, you want get much except smart ass answers. After a review, I’ll get you going. Jade, FAB, Ocean on Nacogdoches, Foot Massage on West Ave are good to start with but any spa will do.

If you are new, I suggest you start by finding one that is L1 only. Two reasons, first you know what to expect, the ladies know the standard rates, and aren't trying to upsell you on options you might not be ready for or know how to handle. They won't be disappointed that you aren't spending more money by selecting more advanced options.

Second, this will help you get over being nervous about the process and if you arrive at the objective a little early because of the excitement, you won't feel like you didn't get your money's worth because you WILL have gotten your money's worth.

Get the hour option (and try a table shower if they offer it) relax and enjoy yourself. Don't worry if it is an older woman, they are generally better masseuses and aren't hoping to upsell you on looks. Worst case if you don't succeed on your first try, you get a good massage and establish yourself for a second visit. Be clean and polite, remember they are looking for regular customers they like, not slobs who treat them like crap. If they are good masseuses they are also hard working women trying to make a living too. Be respectful of boundaries if they tell you they don't allow something, but a pat on the butt or a little squeeze of the leg as you are lying face down, along with a "that feels good" can open doors early. Don't just grab at them or rush to the gold because it takes time to warm up to someone.

Here's a tip, take a $100 bill or two $50s and when they ask for the .6 for the hour they will know you at least have .4 to tip with. Tell them you'll get the change at the end, although they will probably bring it back to you in the room. You can just let it sit on the side table or chair until you finish.

If you strike out the first time tip .1 (unless it is a disaster) so they know you are willing to tip. Get their name and follow up with a second visit within a week or two and ask for them (that will generally get you over the hump). If you have a good experience, pay the .4 and if it is memorable you can throw in a little extra and make it .6.

If you want to have good service, know your provider, pay the going rate, and don't be afraid to tip a little extra if you get very good service. If you are a good customer, the providers will remember you and will be eager to see you return. They generally will also introduce you to the other providers and make it easier to find the services and providers that make the hobby fun. That also helps because there is a fairly high turnover in this business.

Once you are comfortable with the process, satisfied with the results, and think you want to move to more advanced options, then do your research here, understand the pricing schedule, and try some of the L2, L2+ places. Another word of advice, everyone knows the basic pricing for these services, some pride themselves here for being able to get a lower price, but I will tell you, those people stand out and will never get the provider's best service. The providers also share information and you don't want to be known as a cheapskate.

Easy going basic L1s (some of these may offer more to established customers, but their mainstay is L1) depending on the side of town you are on are: Sunflower on Nach, Upstairs on Thousand oaks, Lou's on Broadway, Fab on NW Mil, Good Health on Callaghan, Orange Rose on Fred, and Lemon on 410. Good luck and good hunting! Be sure to leave a review and share your successes and experiences.

Thanks for taking the time to write an information packed post. I can’t disagree with anything you wrote. Great job. It should probably be made into a sticky here.

[MaxonPrice]

yes, this is a great post! Thank you for all of the clear information oneiforu!

[oneiforu]

Ok newbie, were you able to use the information to your advantage? You need to post your encounter to the forum or at least relay your experience here so I know taking the time to write it for you was useful. ��

[tx2for3]

2nd oneiforu, I go 50/50 with smart ads / reasonable answers when a newbie asks questions.....mostly because if you’d simply read reviews—you’d have 95% of the info you need.

When they start doing the light touch around your ass, raise your ass up and spread your legs. Half of them will eat your starfish...LOL

I’ve raised my ass to the ceiling and have yet to get TUMA at a spa. Definitely want to know where.
