Massage Parlor Reports

[QUOTE=HandBanana;2051799]You tipped her for letting you beat your own meat? LMAO! I'd only suggest that if she assisted in some way (ex. Breast / ass play or at least talked dirty to you) if she didn't nothing I don't think I'd give more than my standards for a no extras massage. On the flip side, she may have offered you DIY this time to determine if you're ok to offer other items to in the future.[/QUOTE]I agree with Mr. Banana. Unless the massage was of exceptional quality she gets my normal tip. A high quality legit massage.

Can be had at the spa on Nebel St. In Rockville. .60 for the hour. No extras.

[QUOTE=Theampguy;2051514]Visited a nail salon place off 355 over the weekend and had my first DIY experience. Never thought I would want a DYI at AMPs / Salons but I was in the mood and the provider was attractive. When the standard service was unavailable on the menu, she offered the alternative option which I gladly accepted.

Is there a general rule of thumb on how to tip DIY services? I ended up tipping .35 but not sure if it was too low.

Maybe I should've just tipped myself instead =p.[/QUOTE]20 for belly, 40 for titties, 60 for full facial. Add 20 for lip smacking.

[QUOTE=KingMountain;2052680]20 for belly, 40 for titties, 60 for full facial. Add 20 for lip smacking.[/QUOTE]I've DIY'd and tipped 20 for a thigh massage assist but I wasn't even going to and she practically asked, so it was sort of hot that she was so into it. But if it's just left to your own devices, then it's 20% of the massage full price, which is what I tip on a legit massage.

35 for that is setting unrealistic expectations for the rest of us. Like the other post said, it might get you something next time, but I'm expecting that something will be inflated prices.

I can certainly get behind King's tip scale, though. 20 roaming / assisted diy, 40 nova, 60 nova with extras, 80 brains, 100 FS. Nice and clean, but as always exceptional service requires exceptional consideration.

Got to say it was pretty exciting beating off in front of a woman while she's doing a ST. Not sure if I'd do it often but certainly a good experience.

[QUOTE=Je2010;2030543]I have been getting a lot of pm's from people with under 5 posts and none of them have any reviews. I will not give you any info. I have done my share of trying out places and didn't get any info until I became a SM.

I will not even respond if you have 0 posts. You have given nothing to this community and until you do, don't expext to get any in return. You have to give to get.[/QUOTE]That's right. Because community involvement is what we're all about here. We're all givers here. But only if you've given your share first.

What gets me, and this just happened, is getting a PM from a member, (Not a senior), and requesting a read receipt once the PM is open. Just seems strange. . .

[QUOTE=Theampguy;2054047]There were some assistance and light roaming allowed. Got to say it was pretty exciting beating off in front of a woman while she's doing a ST. Not sure if I'd do it often but certainly a good experience.[/QUOTE]DIY is pretty much DIY, even with a little assistance and roaming. As such, it doesn't merit much of a tip (if any) over the normal 20% for a regular massage.

However, it might pay off on a second visit if you see that same masseuse again. She might recognize you or she might not so make sure she knows you've seen her before. Then, at the beginning of the massage, make it clear that the first time you took care of yourself but this time you would really appreciate it if she took care of you (and of course that you will take care of her when you tip). By mentioning it at the beginning of the massage, she will be thinking about your offer while she massages your back. Try not to let her cover you with a towel, if you can. Say it's too hot or some other excuse. What you're looking for is to get her to start teasing you before the flip. When she has you flip, if she doesn't start the finish on her own, remind her of what you said earlier and see if she will let you place her hand on your sweet spot. It may take some gentle persuasion but just keep at it and hope for success. Then, if you get her full participation and some roaming as well, you can pat yourself on the back for a job well done.

Of course, there's always the chance she won't go for it no matter what you do. In that case, my recommendation is to tip only the 20% for the massage and then never to return. If you make another visit, make sure to come back to the board and report how it went (either way).

P.S. One other thought is that sometimes I've had success asking a girl who won't do a finish if any other girls in the AMP / Salon will. If she says yes, I ask if that girl is available to come finish the session. When that has happened, I tip the first girl for the massage and the second one for the finish. Depending on how the whole session goes, the total tip should come out to a little higher than a regular session / finish with just one girl, but just think of the extra tip as payment for the intel about who to see on future visits.

Good luck and happy hunting!

If you give to the board (reviews, field reports, etc), others should be more willing to give to you.

As far as a read receipt is concerned, I never use them but it is an option available in the inbox. Not sure why it was used in your case but you can easily check on the senior member by clicking on his forum handle and then on "view forum posts." If the member checks out OK, you may feel more comfortable about replying to the post. Use your best judgment, either way.

Looking at your posting history, most are questions, requests for intel and / or non-contributory comments. You will want to reverse that trend if you want to get the full benefit of this forum.

Good luck and happy hunting![/QUOTE]This reminds me... Anybody have any tips regarding the discussion of such things in these places that aren't private rooms (partition walls)? I just whisper as much as possible, but it occurs to me it can still be heard by anyone else there, depending on the setup. Or is it better to just not visit places that don't have private rooms at all? Is it better or worse to try and discuss something with the person at the front desk? I have had success in the partition places, but certainly only nova, no further.

I came here for a massage but I would like you to masturbate my penis too". Just don't see it working.

If you are afraid that somebody may hear you discussing and negotiating because the room is not private, aren't you more afraid they will hear if you get any action?

I keep it quiet, and in fact never negotiate with words. Sign language is always a good friend, especially once they know you are a good customer.

Stay safe,

DP.

But, if you find yourself in a place with partition walls, I would strongly advise against discussing anything with the person at the front desk. Other than the house fee, the transaction is a private one between you and the therapist and you need to keep it that way.

Whispering is one way to communicate and one benefit is you may be able to get close enough to the girl to whisper in her ear, which can help set a nice, intimate mood. The other option is to use hand signals where you indicate what you want (and where you want it) and she will probably respond by holding up fingers signifying how much of a tip she expects. Since her first tip signal is likely to be high, you should be prepared to counter with a signal for how much you're willing to pay.

So you can see why, in light of all the above, it's better to visit places with private rooms.

Good luck, happy hunting and be sure to post some field reports about your experiences.

JmSuttr, All the AMP I have visit in MC is not private room (partition walls and no door).

Please let me know where the place have private room. Thanks.

Maybe some of the local seniors can help you out. If all the MoCo AMPs have partitions vs private rooms, that sucks (and not in a good way). That's certainly not the case in my area.

If no one has any recommendations, then you can try calling around and asking on the phone about private rooms. If that doesn't work then you're stuck with whispering and hand signals, I guess.

JmSuttr, Thanks you info. I am also visit NoVa Chinese AMP too most place have private room.
