Flame me all you want, but the reality is that you (and I) all have an addiction. You can rationalize it as a "hobby," but that just makes you feel better about your addiction. Stamp collecting is a hobby. What you and I are engaged in is an addiction. Given the fact that we cannot control this impulse, I try not to let the financial impact devastate my family and our ability to pay our bills. I will continue to frequent the establishments where the masseuse and I both agree that the tip is fair.

Oh, I think you are completely wrong. This is definately a hobby. A hobby is something you do for relaxation and or pleasure, and this accomplishes both. I'm sure if you look in the dictionary the definition will be similar. Much like your definition of hobby being stamp collecting, this hobby is collecting experiences. Also, collecting things that interest you can be addicting, such as stamps, coins, collectibles and yes, even experiences like we "collect" here.

I TOFFT at Red Dragon in Medford recently. There is some on-street 1-hour and 2-hour parking near there, but can be pretty hard to find. The mamasan suggested I part at the nearby CVS or in a bank's parking lot.

I drew Lulu, a 40-50 slim provider, A- cups. Massage was mediocre, focused mostly on the back. Not arms, legs, or glutes. The back "massage" was cut short by the phone and she returned after answering the call with a hot towel. One tiny hot towel then flip. Some gentle rubbing on the torso with no teasing or hint of any extras. After guiding her hands to where I wanted, she finished it off pretty mechanically, all the while saying that they don't normally do this there. Minimal OTC roaming.

Will not repeat. Total damage. 6+.4

You're welcome.

Your problem is more w / being cheap. If you don't have the funds, then don't go.

Thank you for your professional advice. In fact, I DO recognize my problem and I AM getting help. Recognizing the problem is the first step in fixing it. It sucks looking back over the years and realizing I have spent thousands of dollars for HJ's. I am trying my best to limit my visits. This is a tough addiction to break. If you doubt me, see how long you can go without a HJ at a MP. Then tell me that it's a "hobby" rather than an addiction.

I always pay the standard tip for a one hour session and would tip more for a 90 minute session if the session was very good and the house fees for 60 and 90 minute sessions were the same.

I've had several providers tell me that time is money and they expect a tip accordingly for longer sessions. Then again, I've had numerous times where the provider went way over time and when I tried to tip more was told no, not necessary. If owner is provider and the house is higher than usual, I don't tip at all as there is that old adage that you never tip the owner but in certain cases where I see the owner, and the house is standard, I always tip well as the experience is excellent (and somehow gets better every time, if that is possible).

Point is, tipping is relative to circumstance; there are some basic guidelines one should follow in fairness to the provider but beyond that its a personal matter. That said, common sense will tell you that if you cheap out, don't expect to have fun a second time.

JMHO.

Ummm. Obviously though you and the masseuse DIDN'T agree on what was a FAIR tip.

You decided what you wanted to pay. And that WASN'T agreeable to her.

So, save more, frequent less. Pay what is appropriate.

Maybe you need help. Call Dr. Phil. Better yet, buy some porn and DIY, problem solved for your case of cheapitis.

Just because you don't post telling people to do I search or basically post of no value, anyone can do that and put up a 100.

Also I'm sure it must also be how many years you have been a member I am sure I have been a member much longer than most

So you mean like your 25 substance free posts big bluey.

A friend who has had long experience as a Hobbyist tells me that though he'd never pay a less than standard tip for 1/2 hour service, he does pay extra when he has engaged in a 90 minute session. I've always felt that since I'm already a generous tipper, I don't need to pay a larger tip for the extra :30 minutes as I'm already paying a 50% additional House fee for that.

What say you?

No carpool but the MBTA commuter rail stops in providence and it's only about a 10-15 min walk to 1spa. It is $7. 75 (seven dollars & seventy five cents) each way.

Probably a strange request / idea, but is there an OS carpool? I can think of many reasons why this would be a bad idea, but thought I would ask.

To answer your question, I believe 25 posts is the magic number to become senior. I believe a mod reviews your post history before you're actually made senior, but 25 is the "number" part of the equation.

I went to Jasmine this morning and got "Cindy." Probably late 30's, looks like the wash woman, small chest. I took the half hour massage, which based on past experience and experience at other places, should cost $40. She asked for $50, which should have tipped me off that it was all about the money. I said thank you anyway, and started to put my shoes back on to leave. She ran out to talk with someone else in Chinese, than came back and said "Ok, Ok." I gave her the $40, got undressed and hopped on the table. She came in, draped me with a towel, and gave me a very good, but hard massage. A few times I had to tell her to lighten up. When she did my neck, I thought she was going to sever my spinal cord, and when she did my back I thought she was going to crush a rib. Anyway, massage was very good once she lightened up. About 20 minutes in, she took the towel off and started the tease. Very nice tease. Very light in just the right spots. She then had me flip, and provided the HE. Very good technique. She got the hot towel, cleaned me up, and then I got up and got dressed. She was changing the towels on the table, and then just stood there watching me get dressed. She didn't say a word, but just kept standing there watching. She was making me nervous. When I finally finished getting dressed, I gave her a $20 tip for the half hour massage, which is what I normally give. Not only did she not say thank you, she said,"More. I do." and then she gave the universal sign for a HE. I said that was my normal tip. She said no, she needs more. This went back and forth a bit, until finally I told her that was it and I was leaving. She actually moved to block me from exiting. I finally got by her, but was so turned off by this ending that I will not go back there.

I think they are concerned with LEO there. For your first time, you should try going to a place where you can't miss in Rhode Island.
