-- Based on my experiences & views -
1.1.- Expect that the '
Off fee.' will be told to you; expect to pay between 300-400.Bh. for an ordinary a go-go dancer. You would be asked to pay more were you to take-out a waiter or a bar-captain. You would be unlikely to be able to take-out one of the major performers - at least
not until after the final performance.
1.2.- Generally buy him a drink, (for which he gets a commission -although some boyz have been known to decline a drink and to accept the cash equivalent instead.), and a further 100.Bh. for just his company. Some bars - SOLID BAR - have, shall we say,
'An half-way house.' where you can be more intimate - but
not full intimacy - with the boi but without taking him out, for which a larger TIP. would be expected. Of course you can gracefully wave-away a boi.
1.3.- Depends upon '
How long.' and
'What he's prepared to do.'.
1.3.1.- Short time & just an hand-job: 500.Bh.;
1.3.2.- Short time & fuller intimacy: 1,000.Bh.;
1.3.3.- All night: at least 1,500.Bh..
-
NB.: A prewarned person would check either with the boi or with the M'san. as to how long and what the boi is prepared to do
before taking him out! Do
not be shy when talking about these matters withy the M'san.. Better to resolve these matters first of all in the bar rather than in your bed-room!
- Some boyz have been known to prefer a short time - and hopefully to remain
fresh - so as to secure a 2nd., (or even a 3rd.), trick that very evening.
- Were you to take him to your accomodation for some distance from his bar then you might be asked for taxi-fare also! Some overnighters are offered a b'fast., too..
2.1.- Most massage parlors have a printed '
Menu.' of services, times and prices.
- Some parlors - like SENSO - have a printed MINIMUM TIPs' policy; other parlors leave it to the customer. There are also the location of the parlor, its general condition, the chemistry and inter-action between the masseur and you to bear in mind and so on and so forth - so many, and often sub-conscious and/or contradictory, influences at work on you, dear customer!
- But let's say for a good and 60 mins'. massage and an hand-job I'd be prepared to pay
not more than 1K.Bh..
--
NB.: There have been many previous postings about TIPs. to boyz, about which nearly everyone has his own thoughts, and sometimes at odds with other respondents!
- The above are merely a tentative guide and are
not graven in stone. Bottom line is that you should remember that while you're dealing with a fellow human-being yet the TIP.
etc.
'Are up to you.'.
