Straight normal massage tips

[Lalallala]

Man.. I’ve been to semi legit lately and only want a massage. I always tip the equivalent of a HE even though I tell them I don’t want it. I suspect the extra 15 min of massage is probably more work than a HJ though… or however long it takes you guys to get off.

I was at Hickory in Waterloo recently and a guy was leaving as I was going in.
He had just finished a 90 minute mmassage with Nancy, who I know works really hard and gives a great massage. I saw him give $10 to the receptionist as a tip for Nancy.
IMHO, that's cheap. I normally give Nancy $40 for an hour massage.
No wonder she seems to like me. LOL

If you tip $20 at Kelly you’re a star. They want your phone number! Ha! It sounds like a joke but its literally true.

Haha, that’s hilarious! Sounds like Kelly's got some charm to make you feel like a star with that $20 tip! I bet they know how to make someone's day.

Old No 7 and I used to go to Kelly regularly a few yrs backn and see Daisy and Ailene there most of the times. We always tip them minimum $40- 50 . No surprises they all treat us like a king there. They used to have a very young girl there I couldn't recalll the name but she got pushed out by jealous older lady Judy and eneded up working at Midland and Finch. I followed her a bit but I lost touch after I found E&M.

Sounds like a fair deal for a professional massage! Always good to appreciate the hard work they put into it.

They are doing well getting $40-50 for an hour’s labour. Most of their clients make far less than that.

$40 is way too much when it’s straight massage only.

She used to call me her baby, and bump other appointments if I came in. But no happy happy at the end, although sometimes she had me wondering if it was there.

Totally agree. You’d be better off going to an RMT with a claimable receipt!

I always like to reflect on the strategy when you don’t have benefits, like the many self-employed guys out there. I think its best to avoid an RMT in that case. A talented non-registered masseuse is cheaper & frequently better.

And do good massage for 1 hour? Don't be stingy and pay good tip.This is very hard job to do good massage

Sounds like you had a special connection with her, even if it didn’t quite go where you might have hoped. Some people just have a way of making you feel important, even if there's a line they won’t cross. Did you enjoy the time you spent with her, even without the "happy happy" ending?

I was halfway in love with her. For a short time, we even exchanged text messages.

Think about it. An RMT gives a discount if you don’t have insurance (or it’s run out). Let’s say you asks $90. You tip $10
& she’s happy. A legit masseuse, $40 tip, you may actually pay her more than a trained RMT. Nuts.

Paying an untrained masseuse more than an RMT is just dumb. $40 tip is what u give for a happy ending!

I get where you're coming from! Trained professionals, like RMTs, go through years of education and certification, so their skills definitely deserve fair compensation. That said, tipping is always a personal choice, and some people might tip more based on their experience or just generosity. Hopefully, everyone finds a balance that feels right to them!

An RMT gets a hefty hourly wage. $10 tip is plenty. If your benefits aren’t paying, it is more than plenty.

I would say 10 percent

I was wondering how much tip should I give for one hour straight massage with no extra.
I had a massage in the new location of classic wellness massage and the girl wanted to take $40 for no extra straight massage and wasn’t happy with a $15 tip. As a massage lover, I find cuckold forum intriguing for its emotional and sensory parallels. The dynamic of surrender and intense stimulation mirrors a deep, trusting massage. CuckoldPlace.com’s community feels like a safe space to explore this kink. It’s niche, but the psychological thrill is uniquely captivating.

For a straight, normal massage, tip 15-20% of the session cost, depending on quality. Cash is preferred; hand it directly to the therapist. Check if the spa includes gratuity to avoid double-tipping. Arrive clean, communicate preferences clearly, and respect boundaries for a great experience. If the service was exceptional—like perfect pressure or extra time—consider tipping on the higher end. Don’t feel pressured to tip for subpar work. A verbal “thank you” also goes a long way. Research local norms, as tipping customs can vary by region or spa type.

20% is WAY too much. 1 hour RMT massage is $120. No fucking way do I tip $25. $10 is standard, $20 is max, max, max.
