What is everyone's view on tipping for escort or massage?
   
 I've ever received from a hobbyist, was a thank you note.    
   
 I'd gone into the restroom to freshen up, and when I came out, he was writing on a small piece of paper.  He finished writing, folded the paper in half, and handed it to me.  I began to open the note, but he asked me to wait until I'd left the room...so, I did.  His message was heartfelt, and the gesture was thoughtful and sincere, making it...my best tip, ever!
This reminds me of something.  I found myself with a last minute cancellation, and reached out to someone new.  She agreed to see me due to having a common friend.  But I could tell that the whole thing made her nervous.  Anyway she ended up dropping by for a great session.   I told her in advance to use valet parking since it would be more comfortable for her.  I threw a measly $5 in the envelope to pay for the valet charge.  I didn't tell her but I woke up the next morning I had a string of e mails from her, with the first one being a huge THANK YOU for that gesture which I thought was trivial.  Funny how the smallest things make a difference some times.

But when I do "tip" (an escort), I just put extra in the envelope. With a masseuse, I might tip if the massage was above and beyond, the happy ending, no matter how wonderful, seldom gets a tip.

The problem with tipping a GFE escort is this: We agree to SHARE sensual and sexual pleasure. If it's good, it's good; if it's bad, it's bad. End of story. If it's really, really, really tremendous, then lucky US. Not how good of her to treat me so well.

If I pay her car fare or parking fee, that's different. That's me being a nice guy. It depends on where and when.

Apparently, because providers see themselves as "shop-owner" professionals, and not as wage earners, most of them take offense if a man tips on top of the donation. So...maybe...if the service wasn't up to snuff or if she wasn't the hottie you thought she'd be, leaving a tip might a polite insult just to offend her a little bit. Just thinking on the keyboard.

is that ONLY time you think? is while you're on the keyboard?

what do you do while you're driving? thinking on the steering wheel?

Once in awhile if I see a provider with a rate that is crazy low and she performs like a provider with rates that are way more, I will tip. However this rarely happens.

When I started doing this (still am a newbie), I tipped. After listening to the voices of reason here, I changed my policy. I don't tip independents. I may see an agency provider soon. If she's good, I'll give her a tip.

One reason I changed my behavior was that, as my repeat providers' rates went up, I was never told that I was grandfathered in. So, what I gave before that included a tip is what I give now just for straight rate. I won't extend the courtesy of tipping if I'm not extended the courtesy of grandfathering. It's a wash, though, as the dollar amounts are the same.

Looks like I'm in the minority here.  I usually leave something at the end of an outcall to help pay for the room charges. I put it in a generic greeting card and write short message in it.  I can't remember what I do at an incall, I've been away from the action for a while.

Why would you leave extra to pay for your own room?

You are 100% correct!  As I said, I've been away from the action for a while. I can't even keep the terms straight! Must be time to jump back in!!

I always tip escorts - same reason I tip drivers, massage therapists and other service professional

In tipping. When I'm at a restaurant or a bar I tip for receiving their services this should be no different unless the provider isn't doing their.job. Tipping gets you better treatment from any escort as well though
