Massage Parlor Reports

Long time listener, first time caller.

I went to FY in Arlington today. I used to see Susan in CT and RebeccaBoston but since they are both long gone, I needed to try some new places. I asked for Lisa, based on a previous report here, but she wasn't in today. I drew Anna. Minimum English, pretty good looking, below the shoulder length hair. She asked if I wanted the shower, so I undressed, put on the robe and slippers, and followed her there. The shower was short and perfunctory, with no attention to where I was hoping for some. She dried me off, led me back to the room, and covered me with a towel to start the massage (medium.) Massage was excellent, almost as good as Susan's, but she kept me partly covered with the towel for the duration. As she finished she started the light fingertip massage, and as her leg was next to my hand, I returned the favor. Then she told me to turn over, and put her hand in mine to direct it to where I wanted her to rub. Her technique was quite good, not too hard like Susan, but not as sensuous as Rebecca was. I was allowed to roam outside the clothing with no objection. She slowly brought me along and the finish left me writhing. Nice. She cleaned me up with the hot towels. I dressed, she gave me a hug and I walked out smiling.

$70 house, $30 tip

[QUOTE=Jack Meoff2]First, i wouldn't have asked. I would have went for the roam and let her say no, if she didn't i would not have asked her "whats a good tip" your lucky she didn't reply 2. and a buck for the HE.

Either lay the tip .4 is typical for a HR or leave it at the end after the HE.

You NEVER ask.[/QUOTE]I didn't have the benefit of Jack's good advice, but it seems dead on. In December, I visited Mandala and had a terrific massage from Kit. She's pretty, but not a younger woman. I asked for a sensual, full-body massage. There was no discussion of a tip. The massage was definitely both. Before the flip, I offered some positive reinforcement. After the flip, I had a long massage with one hand teasing and one hand roaming over the rest of my body. She knew what she was doing. When time was running out, Kit finished with a superb ending. I probably should have tried roaming more, but only touched her up and down her back and legs.

Kit said something sweet and started to walk out, I had to stop her and give her. 4 tip. I'm not a fan of raising the prices, but I'm glad I didn't go too low. I definitely plan to go back. (And I got the sense they wanted me to come back as well! ).

One final thought. I do adore the attention I often get undressing and dressing in AMP's. That's was definitely not part of my visit to Mandala.

Been kinda slow with the holidays (you know, the time in Boston between a week before Thanksgiving and mid-February), and I haven't been hobbying much.

I made an appointment with Angel today. When I arrived, Angel was busy with someone else, and Amy wanted me to go with her. Been there, done that, and I wasn't feeling desperate, and I told Amy that I would come back when Angel was available. Amy called for Angel in Chinese, and Angel came out to the lobby and tried to persuade me to stay with Amy. I declined and told Angel that I would come back, but she asked me to wait, then she came out and told me it would be a few minutes. I hope that whoever had to leave wasn't one of you guys. Unless you're an asshole, then I don't care.

Anyway, it was a good massage with lots of rear end work. Release was face down, and I didn't try for second pop after the flip. Facial at end. .6 plus .4 tip. Gave both upon entry ala WD.

I feel the need for a Cuidad Juarez trip soon.

I just wanted to add a comment. I agree with you about Rebecca. She was a gem not only in beauty but in class. I never had a bad visit and she was always smiling. I hope she found happiness in her new life!!!

Stopped going years ago when they raised their prices for the hour session and the woman asked for. 6 for HE. Avg massage, blase attitude.

[QUOTE=Jack Meoff2]Every time you over tip the girls you are not only screwing yourself but the rest of us too by drving up the price![/QUOTE]OK, not to drag out this discussion any more than it has been, but explain to me how my tipping too high is driving up your price? You seem positive in your ability to just leave $.2 or $.3, so why not just do it. If your approach is not to ask and just leave what you feel you should, then you should just do it.

My personal feeling on this topic is that dining out is a bigger tip scam. The server brings the same number of plates whether I order lobster or meatloaf, so why tip based on the meal value. Sorry about this one, but I think it came by as an analogy previously, so I thought I would abuse it a bit.

When I get a massage, I get an hour of someone's attention, so if it is a reasonable massage, that in itself is worth $.2 (unless the door fee is $1). A good happy ending is worth another $.2, at least to me.

As far as asking, I have had the experience twice with a MP (not AMP) provider checking the tip before I left and giving me shit on the way out. It seems some would prefer to get nothing rather than less than they "think" they are worth. Hence, I ask. That kinda crap does not add to my total experience!

Don't read this as mean spirited as it is not intended to be. Just MHO.

Basic free market economics. When you overpay and prices are non static, it inflates the price of goods and services. Isn't that basic? Chicks get into the game thinking, "I wish I could just get $50 every now and again," then a few clowns pay $100 to watch her play with herself and the price suddenly goes through the roof for the basics. Don't overpay when you don't have to, if not for yourself, but for everyone else. Pretty elementary rule of the game. Thanks in advance for changing your ways. ;)

Thanks in advance for changing your ways. ;)[/QUOTE]I think the question Dan was really asking was "How is it your business what he tips"? The same principle applies to everything. Some people tip more or less than 15% in restaurants. Others tip mailmen, doormen, security guards etc. At Christmastime. Some tip hairstylists/barbers, some don't. Some drive a hard bargain when they buy vehicles, some are content to pay darn near sticker price.

All of that affects what others may expect and how they view you for what you choose to give. How you tip may affect the service you get. Your barber may or may not make time to see you on short notice, your doorman may or may not help you with groceries, etc. Your service may vary based upon what others have decided to tip these people in comparison to what you tipped or didn't tip.

I don't give anyone a hard time for what they do or don't pay for, and I don't really care what anyone else thinks about what I give out.

People have made good cases on both sides of this issue, and I encourage them to do what they are comfortable with.

If you tip what you feel is warranted, you don't feel ripped off for tipping too much. You also don't feel bad if they make a stink, you know what they want doesn't work for you and you can move on. Just like shopping for anything else.

After reading for a long time about "don't spoil 'em" and pay what you want, I find the conversations on this board amazingly similar to what went on with OPEC. Thus, rather than debate this back and forth, I suggest we start a new organization called OMAS (Organization of Mongers Amping Services) where we fix the price of tipping. Oh, like OPEC, individuals will certainly "cheat" in the hopes of getting better service, but at least on the outside, it will be a united front. Is there anything illegal about this? (this post is entirely to make one laugh at ourselves).

60 house in 100 tip should be that simple for great FS. That's what it is almost everywhere they have FS AMPs. This nickel and dimming to cop a feel or get a hand job is kids stuff or maybe I'm too jaded. I may just have to spend more time in CA, DC, NJ and PA for what I'm talking about. Too bad most of CT dried up. Man I remember when you could get it all for a .80 in Lowell.

Play safe, stay safe,

TH[/QUOTE]Yup. The HK was special. Well worth the drive. All these other places can't compare. I went to CH last month -very disappointed. Once you've had steak...

Great board here but the cat fighting gets to me. I don't chime in unless I have something good to share. The dribble from some kills the purpose. Just report for others -it's that simple. No crap or half-assed poetry etc. -just info. And forget the "Senior Member" screening. If LE wnats the info they'll get it. Don't kid yourself. I'm sure there are LE "senior members" out here. It's not hard. Some of these senior members feel like they're a member of Congress or something-LOL. Makes me want to keep info to myself when I read. That wasn't Jackson's goal. I was one of the first to report Angel's but.

That was more or less the point I was making. No small group of over-tippers can jack up the "rate" for all. Besides, I don't provide obscene tips. Also, I don't reward providers that expect or dictate what the tip should be or provide second rate performance, I avoid them.

However, could it be that low tippers will drive a couple places or providers outta the biz. Hmmmm. It could happen! JK!

Anyway, a reasonable discussion and some good points made and taken. Now back to our regularly scheduled reporting.

[QUOTE=Meal Soy Hooing]Thus, rather than debate this back and forth, I suggest we start a new organization called OMAS (Organization of Mongers Amping Services) where we fix the price of tipping.[/QUOTE]Has a nice ring to it. I could just picture that meeting. A rather interesting collection of "sheiks" convening as the world eagerly awaits our decision on the value of a HE. Sounds news worthy to me.

Perhaps we could also issue USASG member cards..."don't get a massage without one".

Thanks for lightening this debate up Meal!

Should we start a new section for solely about the discussion of the ''nuances'' to good mongering where discussions can be on matters being discussed such as tipping, critique of generals as opposed to specific reviews.

Be it from an a(a)mp , escort or even strip club experienes?

I saw on the news last night that LE busted an AMP operating out of Wellesley yesterday. I never visited this establishment, but it is still scary. The news reported (Fox25) said they took an "activity log" out of the apartment. What the hell is that? This kind of stuff can really turn someone off hobbying. Nothing is safe.
