Description

This article is from the [alt.backrubs] Frequently Asked Questions, posted to alt.backrubs newsgroup. Maintained by Jamie Blustein with numerous contributions by others.

4.5 How much will it cost? Should I tip? Can I get it cheaper?

There are no definite answers to the first two questions. The answers vary by location and culture. The `what.price' file in the archive (see question 5.1.2) contains a record of some of the discussion of these points that has taken place in alt.backrubs.

That file also has suggestions for where to seek less expensive professional massage than usual. Some of that advice is presented here, but is not meant to replace a thoughtful reading of that file. Some MTs will accept trades of good and services in place of money. Some are listed in the exchange file (see question 5.1.1). MTs-in-training often need to practice :) -- local massage schools can often put you in contact with the trainees. Question 3.2 is about where to find people to give (and receive) massage.
