An overseas perspective of AAMPs
Hi Gang, It's been a long while, formerly a long-time contributor but I'm relatively inactive now. I came across this interesting blog discussing the AAMP (and likely the AMP scene applies just the same) phenomenon in America as viewed from overseas. While Martha Coakley would have us believe all women in massage parlors are sex slaves here against their will, this eastern perspective is quite a fascinating read.

A small sample of the article:
[I]If overseas, in China, Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand, it often works like this. Women answer an ad to work in North America, generally for domestic help positions (they are not being "trafficked against their will). At the interview, they're frankly told that it's sex work, and they can chose to do it or not. If they agree, they pay a fee, generally $1000 (all examples in this article are in USD), to arrange transportation, visas, any necessary bribes, and lodging in a North American city. They can either pay their own airfare or the company will buy it for them. If the latter, round trip open-end airfare to North America is charged at $3,000. In Korea, all potential masseuses must take a class in traditional Korean massage before they leave for North America. They will pay for their lodging in North America at the going rate, generally $1500 per month for a clean, modern apartment, the rental of which may be shared by two or three women. They are expected to work off their debt, generally around $4,000, and may not keep any profit until their debts are paid. This is paid off in a surprisingly short amount of time.[/I]

Repeat customers? Profit?
I don't understand why AMPs don't aim for repeat customers, instead they try to shamelessly haggle for unreasonable HE tips. Before the HE. I went to RT in Weymth and it started with a good rub then an overdrawn obvious ploy to butter me up. Ok fine. Then the haggle. Whatever. Thing is they ask for too much while I stay firm with the going rate and it turns into a letdown. I liked the massage and would have kept coming back and back for more. To argue over $10-20 lost sunshne much more than that in the long run seeing I will never come back to haggle with her when I just want to relax and get a full massage. I might just get a massage chair and a flesh light. I've had it. AMPs are too inconsistent and lmps are hard to find in the SS, nothing worth the ride as far as I know.
Thais / Chinese / Korean / Latinas

The Thais charge $70-$ 80 for the hour and expect $ 60 for a HJ. If more is available you will pay more. Most of the time no UTC roaming is allowed. In many cases no roaming of any sort is allowed. Makes you wonder what you might find. Unfortunately they understand that we often compare them to Chinese AMPs which they consider an inferior massage experience in an unruly (smells of Ramen noodles) and unsanitary places where the linens are seldom changed. In my personal experience, some of them would rather not have us clients if we do not pay to their scale.
The Koreans in RI have two modes. FS and Non FS. Pick your preferred style and pay accordingly. 60+140 or 60+40. They usually have showers and saunas and are ruled by a mamasan or papasan. They have their own cost structures. The ladies shuffle in and circle out. Some return from vacation if they have built a lucrative following.
Some Chinese parlors expect a 60/40 tip structure. This is true in some of the old school places which offer limited menus. There are newer places where more may be had on an a la carte basis. In their culture haggling is part of their world. They will haggle in the food markets and clothing stores so why expect them not to haggle in the parlors. There seems to be a wider range of experiences with the ladies in these spas. Many of us will find a place where we will get the best mix of service / relaxation / price / and attentiveness. We become regulars and the expectations are set and the haggling ends.
I have limited experiences with LMPs. Too bad the ones in the S. Shore are gone. But based on what I have read he, there seems to be a SOP for them as well. Less of a massage more of a BP experience. They are pricier but a fuller menu might be available for a shorter time period. A lot of hit and miss experiences here.
I think we should learn the different segments of the market and what their are offering at what price point. Pick the style you want for the moment and simply enjoy.
