Hi all, newbie here.

Just a quick question. So if TER reviews are showing $200 prices for incalls, what's the standard tip amount I put on top of that? Just asking so I don't over/undertip and inflate the market.

Thanks!

Tipping is such a nice thing to do, especially when you enjoy yourself, but it's up to your descretion only and considered a wonderful "extra" special thing to do
There is no right or wrong amount, it's what you feel comfortable with, and how much you enjoyed your stay with the provider you picked to be with..
such a sweet thing to do...good guy!

and, unlike restaurants, there is no rule of thumb.  I have had clients tip 10%, 20% and even a few who tipped me an amount equal to the donation.  

If you enjoyed yourself and wish to tip, I'd tip the amount you feel comfortable with and not worry about what others are doing.  Because there is no "hard and fast" rule.

Have fun and enjoy your erotic adventures.

Here is an excerpt from a previous post of mine on the subject of tipping. Of course most of this applies to independent ladies, but you can do with it as you choose with respect to KMP experiences:  

As I have said over and over again on these boards, why would anyone ever tip a provider?? This is not like a restaurant, where waiters and waitresses are receiving below market wages because it is expected they will receive tips from customers to make up the salary differences. I presume providers are charging rates that will cover their overhead (i.e. hotel room, travel expense and bills) and of course they are entitled to a profit for personal expenditures. They don’t need extra money to cover losses in wages; presumably the fee paid by the gentleman is more than sufficient. If the money they receive is not enough, than the lady should charge more to make it work. A gentleman has to presume that the rate they are being charged is enough for the lady to make it all work.  

I have also heard the argument that providers don’t charge gentleman for their time to get ready for the date (i.e. going to get their hair and nails done, etc.) Okay, the next time your attorney gives you a bill for 10 hours @ 500 per hour, tell him, hey listen, I know you did an extra two hours of pre-research that you are not billing me for, so here's an extra $1,000. Right, it's not happening.

Also, I am tired of the argument that you will get better service the next time if you tip. The service is all due to the ladies personality. If she is sweet and friendly, a true GFE, than you will receive that type of service every time, whether you tip or not. What is an extra $50-$100 going to do for you next time???? How much better can the lady be if she is already a GFE???

Now you are going to tell me tipping is a nice gesture, showing that you appreciate her service. It is, but I'll tell you how really to show you appreciate her service: Come back for another visit, and shell out more money at her current hourly rate. The biggest compliment you can EVER give to a provider is that you repeat and see her again. This is the biggest tip of all.

I always tip at a KMP, unless the service is poor, which is rare.
$30 to $50 is normally what I leave.

don't count on the listed rate on her TER profile. Anything written on a ladies profile is submitted by the first reviewer and sometimes never changes without a problem report. You may  have a very bad first date if you short change her.

A tip is wonderful and greatly appreciated but I feel another visit with me to be the best tip of all. You are letting me know how much you enjoyed my company by comming back to see me.

I take a $25 VS gift card and a set of candles.  That always seems to please the ladies.

Right on swim, I usually take candy, cookies, a nice bottle of wine, or on very special occasions a gift certificate is always nice, particularly if you see the lady regularly.

beverages, candles, music, etc.  If I go to her incall, I will bring a bottle of wine (unless she doesn't drink wine), some candles, or something that I know she will enjoy.  Flowers are a no no; two hard to hide.  Remember, discretion.

no flowers, i would think that is a nice gesture.  When you say "Flowers are a no no; too hard to hide.  Remember, discretion"  I am assuming you mean providers that are doing it behind there partners back??  Just curious I was thinking of bringing flowers if I were to visit.

is always a must.  I take my gift in a WalMart bag.  Everyone goes to WalMart and no one gives the bag a second glance.  

However, if a lady is touring, a candle set might not be practical for her, so maybe a couple of small ones.  Once, on a double date with a local provider and a touring one, the local girl asked me not to bring the candles for the visiting girl as they might pose a problem with packing.  As it was just before Valentine's Day, I got each of them a heart-shaped box of chocolates, which they absolutely loved.  

Sometimes you have to adapt, but I always take the gifts.  I don't get wine as I am not much of a wine drinker and I don't always know if the lady is either.

to change the level of service on subsequent visits.  I tip because I'm ridiculously generous, and really for no other reason..

Sigh. It's a failing, particularly these days...

I have yet to find one these lovely ladies who did not appreciate flowers.

vase full of flowers late at night, it might attract some unwanted attention.
