And not to start the tipping debate.
[QUOTE=Rattfink; 1450322]I got dressed. We had some pleasant conversation. I duped her the requisite 40 and we said our goodbyes.
Overall, I give Penny the seal of approval.[/QUOTE]So you had a nice time, pleased with her massage and other skills, got her dress off with nude roaming and gave her 40?
Its no wonder there's a lot of complaining about MA AMPs. Why should these girls make the effort. Even if shorted on time which seems to happen more often than not in MA, you still had a nice time and she was probably expecting a little more.
I wouldn't get your hopes up about seeing that dress come off if you visit again.

The Massage Studios at 40 Harrison, Chinatown
Over the past several years, I have gone to Aiko in CT, who is a middle-aged Malay / Chinese lady who gives a good massage and fine finish. I don't quite know why, but lately she has encouraged me to go to other places. Specific ones. Mind you, I am clean, well dressed, polite and friendly, pay her asking price, tip the going rate, so I don't know why she would discourage me from coming. But after a couple of these suggestions, perhaps I should take a hint, so I did.
A side to Aiko fans: has she made suggestions of other masseuses to you too?
One was "Kathy" who she said was a friend of hers working on Harrison in CT, and she gave the phone number, but oddly, told me not to say she sent me. Well, Kathy works in the cluster of several massage studios at 40 Harrison, second floor, specifically 2A, at Fong Massage. I reported a couple years back on going to Diva (2D) , where the masseuse was most reluctant to provide a finish, but eventually did so.
Kathy is a great therapeutic masseuse. Near the end, I politely asked about extras. She was not offended, but made it clear she does not offer that. I paid $70 for a superb clean-only massage that I really needed, and she went overtime because she thought I needed more (I did) , so I gave her a tip for that. Fong is her "shifu" (master) and she also gives massage, also therapeutic only.
Oh, and when I mentioned Aiko, Kathy didn't seem to know her. Puzzling.
I believe that studios 2A through 2E are all massage parlors. For sure 2A is clean only, and unless Diva (2D) has changed, it is clean only as well. I don't know about the others.
Would I go back? Sure, if I really needed a very good therapeutic massage and didn't mind not getting a finish.
Not to continue that debate, but

ND[/QUOTE]Sure, these ladies have certain expectations, whether or not they suggest an amount upfront. I visited a new AMP recently and found myself a little embarrassed that for the tip I only had 30. The lady had offered UTC up top and OTC below the waist. The UTC was limited, I couldn't slip the boobies out but had to pull the blouse away to catch a glimpse of them. I wanted to give her 40 and when I handed over the 30 she grimaced a little and I felt bad about not having the extra 10 (I thought I'd brought in 2 twenties for the tip). Now, a lady who removes her dress but keeps her thong on, if I offer 60 on top of a half-hour house fee of 50, I've just handed over 110 for a half-hour topless massage. I would sure appreciate the dress being removed, but that's only 10 or 15 less for a full, nude 3-course session with some of Boston's better FS providers. Where does it end? If she removes the thong and offers full nude roaming, and I stay for a full hour, I'm out of pocket 150 for the HE. I think we can agree that 40 is the expected minimum tip for good service, but if I'm expected to tip 80 for an HR, and that's on top of the house fee, I'd prefer to be getting more than just the HE. Yes, I can think of a few AMP's where the service was so expert that I went ahead and tipped 60 or 80 to the lady (Bonan in Medford was one place) , but that was for the level of attention and service, not just for an extra bit of nudity and touching. (At Bonan the mamasan once entered the room and turned the appointment into a four-handed massage, and both she and the masseuse were totally nude and allowing unrestricted roaming, so yeah, I gave up the Jacksons without a second thought, and without being asked for any tip at all at that point.) So that's my 2 cents on it. Adobe
