what is the going rate for a half hour massage and 1 hour massage ? I get so many no shows . Maybe my prices are too high.

On the lady, the location, the quality, the perks. I've only booked one-hour sessions, and it's always been for $160-180.

Thank you !

As you said, it depends on several things especially the services offered with the massage and the overall quality of the service.  From what I've seen, the range for 1 hour FBSM starts in the low 100s and goes over 200; about the highest I've seen is 250 and that's getting into or at least close to FS territory.  

Prices are one thing and no shows are another.   I'm just a massage guy, and I think the prices have raised quite a bit in the last few months.  Seems not too long ago an hour was $140-$160.  Now it seems an hour is $180-$200, but there are still some very good ones who do an hour for $170.  Doesn't help that many new girls with no experience or reviews are asking the higher prices and providing less service.  Some don't even do nude for that price, which I find quite frustrating.

I should clarify that I have only ever paid for a massage with HJ. I would expect to pay $200 at least for more intimate acts.

...depends on what you mean by more intimate acts. (BJ? FS?)  I've had some GREAT sessions with HJ that included nude, exchange, and lots of sensuality for more.  Had some sessions with HJ and nude but the session wasn't really sensual.  So, to me, it's the entire experience not just a checklist.  But I understand what you mean....

Thank you !

I personally charge a variety of rates for massages but they include different things.  

Thank you so much ! I really appreciate you!

....that bargin basement pricing brings in bargin basement clientele. I don't think lowering your rate will reduce your incidence of NCNSs, it might even have the opposite effect by drawing in a less desirable client base.  
Buying a month of VIP would be a cheap way to research other providers rates and see how your's compare.

I was talking about BJs, mostly. I also know some ladies charge extra for mutual touch, nude body to body, and DATY. Then again, sometimes those come along with the regular price. It's a YMMV thing.

Typically if a hobbyist knows your rate he isn't going to make an appointment to begin with if he think it is too high.

If no HE is involved, it's pretty easy to get an excellent massage from an LMT in the Twin Cities for $60-70 per hour.  My favorite therapist charges $70/hour and discounts are available if you commit to regular sessions.
