[QUOTE=RChangDatyKing;6266746]This is just my 2 cents and what's worked for me.
When I hear or think of Legit massage I'm considering one at a chiropractor's office or even at Massage Envy. Legit at an AMP is where the shop is mainly doing therapeutic massages with maybe some glazing and you'll leave with blue balls. I say mainly because there's at least 1 or 2 girls out of the 5 working at that AMP is offering HE to their regulars and the others are mostly giving therapeutic massages with some intentional teasing. Places like Angel Massage in Mira Mesa and Sakura is a good example of mainly legit massages. They are great and a lot cheaper than going to Massage Envy and no membership is needed.
Tips: back 10 plus years ago when nonFS AMPs charged $40 hour for a massage it was simple. When a girl did HEs, it was $40 to the house and $40 tips and everyone was happy. For me if I liked the girls and know I would see them again I would tip $50 or $60 dollars for a HE massage. This was also pre COVID and the $40/$40 was acceptable almost at any nonFS AMPs for a massage and HE. Post COVID and prices are now at $60/ hour at nonFS spas, I generally tip $40 for an ONLY legit massage. Massage with HE, I will tip the same as the HF so $60/$60. Again if I like the girls or if they are playful, and hint that more maybe available beyond a HE at subsequent visits then I might tip $70 at a first visit. Then usually at a 2nd visit menu might open and more is allowed, lots of mutual touch, clothes come off, then my tip can be $80 on up. If the girls are hot and I truly like them and will see them regularly I'll tip $100 and that has been a standard and I am getting full access without any discussions of tip on all subsequent visits. These are ones I call UTRs. Again with these girls there are trusts, comfort and chemistry that has been developed and may require lots of repeat visits.[/QUOTE]Excellent guide. The only thing I'll add is that most legit massage ladies at AMP will allow (or occasionally even encourage) self-service if you don't want to leave with blue balls, and some will ramp up the teasing while you are doing it.
You said you tip $40 for legit massage. There is certainly nothing wrong with that, but I think $25 or $30 will get no complaints. If you try tipping less than $20 they tend to get pretty angry at you and sometimes the front desk will even tell you that you have to tip at least $20.
