B. C. Talent Rich at AMPs
Kazoo brothers,
If you seek extras, as well as an above average massage, consider B. C. RN.
W / No AMP here offering much, the short drive can pay off big.
Read the last 3 pages or so of B. C. Massage forum for all the info needed.
There are 3-4 Top providers there that'll give you the works for 2 Bennies all in.
IMO- Worth the drive & can always call ahead at either spa there, for poss appt info.
Doubt that YMMV, based on experiences.
JJ / Jimmy.
Appropriate tipping question in Kalamazoo
I am curious what others have to say.
In my experience, Sherry at Beautiful Life on Portage St gives the best massage period but nothing / nada extra. Other than she is a tease and cute, its diy or nothing. I have no interest in diy, but occasionally just a great back massage is good. My insurance covers medical / sports type with a $10 copay so there's that. But what is an appropriate tip for Sherry if you do not indulge in the DIY option?
I have found that matching the door fee in roses is considered generous at Lotus and sage.
TLC 60 roses get he and 120 roses usually whatever else.
It still boggles my brain that so many DIY places can support all these providers. I must be missing something.
Not really different than

Not unless the DIY is done by a strip tease with her massaging you all around it topless and being sensual, etc. I've never expected that, nor gotten it. I guess I'd tip her a discounted amount. Encourage her along in that direction, but there's more to be had if ya want to go further type of thing.
Otherwise, what's to be expected in DIY, is not to tip them any differently than if you didn't try to bait them with i'll-do-it-myself-then, and do. Whether you stroked it a bit and warned her you'll DIY to see if she'll bite or asked to do DIY and she let you, or you didn't even go down that route at all, the tip should be the same.
So in this case, IMO, if the massage was nice, tip $20 for HHR, $30 for HHR. Basically 50% of door price. Same goes for said gal having outrageous price for a mere HJ and you go DIY route for a reasonable price and she doesn't really lower it. If the massage was really great, she's really great, and it was something you were looking for in and of itself, I'd add $5. If the massage / massage experience really sucked and she was just looking for money for a straight up massage? More like $15, $20 respectively.
Kalamazoo Relaxation Endures
I Googled "Kalamazoo Relaxation" to see if that place was still in business. I thought surely by now they would've had to at least offer HEs (in which case I might become a client) or have gone out of business (though apparently there's a whole market for DIY places in Kalamazoo, which I'll never understand, and to my knowledge, Kalamazoo Relaxation isn't even DIY and would be offended by the suggestion). However, I guess I'm wrong (happens more than I like to admit) in my assumptions about Kalamazoo Relaxation's staying power, because they have 2 websites and an active FB page and no reports that I've heard of anything more being offered than just a massage and maybe some flirtation. What even made me think of them though is because I recently made an overnight trip to Detroit and was exploring options over there and came across a whole chain of these type of bikini massage places that get guys hopes up but don't deliver more than a massage. They're called Tropical Touch and are even a franchise. Maybe I'm missing something. I realize there is an actual market for real, legit massage places. I even visit them occasionally myself. But in those situations, where I know nothing more than massage is going to happen, I generally don't want some hot chick in a bikini getting me worked up only to let me down. Do some guys just enjoy the tease without the actual satisfaction? Maybe it's for guys who want to get massaged by a hot woman, but who don't want to cheat on their wives / girlfriends / SOs. Who knows? (not me clearly).
