I know I'm a johnny-come-lately to this debate, however.

Keep in mind if you are visiting an establishment that you believe houses the girls overnight, that is a crime in the DMV. It's called a brothel. While they have a room where they lounge during the working hours, I believe you will find 99% of them empty during non-working hours.
[QUOTE=LexLuther;1395770]The girls can be thought of as independent contractors. The only money they get comes from the tips you give them.[/QUOTE]
Most assuredly these girls get a part of the house money. $10 / hour is likely.

This we can agree on.
To All:
In the service industry. 10-20 % tips are normal in America. Most often, in spas (massage, pedicure, manicure, facials, hair) , the tips go from 10-25. Ask your wife how much she tips her stylist. It can go as high as 25. If she is paying $80. 00 for a hair do (that is low in the DMV) , then she is tipping as much as $20. 00. And that isn't for sex.
If you go into an AMP and pay $60-80 for a TS and massage, then expect to at least give the girl $15-20 on the low end just for a good massage. She did, after all, clean you. More than likely smiling while she did it. If she adds a happy ending to the matter, then 20-50% more (that's another $15-40) could easily be added to the tip. So, if you don't want to over tip and aren't interested in return-on-investment, then $30-60 is a minimum tip, in this writer's opinion. If, however, you'd like to get on a provider's good side, bringing a minimum $60. 00 to the table will brighten her day as well as your future with her. It doesn't take much extra to make a reasonable provider want to do more for you.
As a friend of mine here says, always be nice to the ladies.
