Tipping at Pro Dungeons?

[cmike361]

Hello all,

I have been occasionally going to fetish houses for sessions in New York, mostly Donatella Den. I was planning to visit the Fetish Fortress on my next visit, but I am curious whether there is a standard expected gratuity? Is it 20% like in the rest of the service industry? I had an awkward encounter once with a woman who said she had a "minimum" tip and it was more than I had in my pocket. Luckily, she was very kind and understanding. Any advice?

The domme that you see is probably getting only half (or maybe even only 40%) of what you paid for the session. So, you should tip generously.
My practice is to give 25% to 50% of the base price of the session. (25% the first time I see a new domme, more in future sessions if she is especially attuned to my erotic interests).
For example, if a commercial dungeon charges me $400 for a two hour session, then I would give a tip of at least $100 and possibly as much as $200.

Seeing an independent Domme is entirely different. They set their own rates and keep it all, so no tip is necessary. But that's not relevant to your question.

I agree that tipping is the norm, but I don't think you necessarily need to go over $50-$60, depending on your financial situation. There was a dungeon on Chicago that the feds ridiculously closed, where the Domme kept all but $50 of the fee for herself. (I checked with three reliable sources, because it seemed too good to be true!) But usually, the house keeps more than that, I think. Fetish fortress is a great place, but in recent years, very few there have been interested in switching - are you going to "ler" at all, and if so, which of the mistresses are down for that?
