Tipping

[wingman956]

I'm sorry for all the noobie questions and i promise this will be the last before I go out and explore. I am curios on tipping protocol. Is a jackson given for L1? Grant for L2? I'm sure if I ask the masseuse, I am sure to get my eyes poked.

It all depends on the place, the provider, and her willingness to negotiate. Some services can be had for less, but from my experience it’s not common.

If you ask them, they will ALWAYS quote higher than they’ll accept.

I do $60 for L1 if the massage is good too. $40 is just being cheap.

The ones who give a number for L1 generally say 40. I’ll go 60 if I get to explore or see.

L1=40
L1+titty touchy=50or 60

Bush Pilot is spot on. And don’t let Texasian’s misplaced vanity fool you. As Marsellus Wallace famously advised, “That’s just pride fucking with you. Pride only hurts, it never helps.”

40 for L1, even with plenty of NE and SE is neither cheap (for the time and effort - only about 15 minutes of play) nor are you in a setting where you need to impress anyone. Also, while Bush Pilot’s rate for L3 is generally accurate, there are plenty of providers that will readily do L3 for L2 rates, etc. This later is a question of developing a rapport and also being decent company.

Relatedly, (and when I was a newbie I was getting conflicting advice on this) it might be helpful for the OP if you mention your takes on tipping before L+ happens or after. As in leave $40 or more on the table when the massage begins or wait for the negotiation phase (never advisable when nekkid on the table) or afterwards after some +1 has occurred.

For me, I mostly visit either places I've been many times (even if its not the same girl, but I'm recognized when entering or I greet other providers when I see them inside) or I visit known, low-pressure locations. I generally don't knowingly wander into places that are known brothels (for lack of a better term). Just not my thing.

So I haven't left a tip on the table prior to services rendered in years. When I was younger I thought it might let the provider know I was looking for some +1 attention. Don't be shy, either ask once everyone is comfortable, wag your crank in front of her, touch her (gently) on the leg or ass as she moves around the table.

You'll know if she is willing, its not their first day on the job.

Bush_Pilot's suggestion 100%.

I also agree w/ BP. It seems that now they are usually asking for more, but if you hold your ground, they usually say ok.

It more than likely depends on whether you want a return trip without frustrations.

BTW: Asking for more money is not a "tip" ... it's a surcharge for an upgrade.

But "Coco" won't be there next time you stop by so .... a tip to see her again is pissing off money.

[Toolman]

I generally agree with BP, but there are variations on each theme. L1 or L2 does not necessarily imply nekkidness or mutual exploration. If nekkidity and additional play is involved, extra gratitude may be involved.

I agree... unless you have a rapport and a quasi-relationship with her, don't tip first. And don't be afraid to walk out. If she starts negotiating and killing the mood, WALK THE FUCK OUT! plenty of fish in the sea. You'll find one that will fit your needs.

If she is asking too much, say no and ask for the cleanup. She will either agree to something reasonable or you leave and give the 20% legit massage tip. They don’t like getting 8 to 12 bucks.

Absolutley true. They are there to make money. Not lose it due to only keeping the tip and half of the hour fee. It's honestly the only power you have as you're laying there with a hard on doing most of the thinking. I usually only bring in what I'm willing to spend, and leave the rest in another pocket so if there is a need to go and get a few more dollars you can, but you can always pull out your wallet or pocket and say, this is what I got. Most will say OK with that. Not to be cheap, but it only takes a few ppl who feel that a big tip from them gets them preferential treatment and drives up the greed factor for everyone else. I do concur on the 40/60 /100 basis for tipping for provided services. As I travel around the country a bit, I've seen west coast being a few dollars more at times, and Florida being less, and Texas being about the middle based on fee's.
