Goinghomesoon Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Etiquette question here about paying for massages. I just assumed male masseuses here were gay based on the ones I knew back home. But my usual massage guy is getting pretty hands on in the chest area. Am I supposed to tip? I'm guessing yes but I didn't really ask for the added extra.

Phil Conners Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 I think the usual rule of thumb is "tip if you enjoyed it" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdnvic Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Ah... the old "I'm gay so it's safe to let me massage your chest" routine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leisurely Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 why is this in the ladies department? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
November Rain Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 why is this in the ladies department? I'm guessing the OP has a touch of dyslexia and can't tell the difference between the words "ladies" and "gay" when choosing subforums in which to post his query.

Jai Dee Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 why is this in the ladies department? Just hazarding a guess from the OP's posting style, I'd say she is female. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
November Rain Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 (edited) why is this in the ladies department? Just hazarding a guess from the OP's posting style, I'd say she is female. Oh, OK, got it now! I can be very dim, sometimes. I was wondering why a chest massage was such a big deal. Sorry! Edit - If you didn't ask for it, OP, don't pay extra for it. Sounds like it might be as much for the masseurs enjoyment as for yours. Are you comfortable with it? If so, carry on, but don't tip more unless you requested it. If not, make it absolutely clear that you're not comfortable with it and tell them to stop. Edited June 5, 2007 by November Rain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goinghomesoon Posted June 5, 2007 Author Share Posted June 5, 2007 Oops, sorry for the confusion, yes I'm female. Not used to flashing my chesty bits around though and it did freak me out a bit. Maybe I should charge HIM if he wants to look and touch I think I'm getting my sense of humour back about the whole thing now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 GHS, This sounds like inappropriate behavior to me. Most Thai women would not have a therapeutic massage from a man unless he were blind or elderly. The fact that you accept a male masseur plus the stereotypes about farang women may have led him to think you were open to something else. Do all us farang women here a favor and put a stop to it in such a way that he (and his boss if applicable) know this was out of bounds behavior....

paulsmithson Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 some touch even more- male or female massage is neungan. Oce had an old woman massage my balls ans complemented me on not getting a hard on as she did it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goinghomesoon Posted June 16, 2007 Author Share Posted June 16, 2007 (edited) He's a good masseuse, I like mine deep tissue brutal and he happily obliges. To be fair he works hard for his 85 baht cut of the 250 baht fee. He now realises I'm going to be a long term customer and is behaving appropriately.
