    Default Tipping for lap dances

    Okay, I admit this is probably a really stupid question. Take it as evidence that some non-tipping is due to ignorance (but not most - any fool knows the dancers are paid with their tips). Anyway, the dancer poll about non-tippers makes me ask: Do dancers expect a tip for a lap dance, beyond the standard rate?

    I don't, but it is always nice !

    Some clubs however take large cuts of the standard dance price so in those clubs tipping after a dance is more likely to be expected. If you are unsure you can always ask the dancer if she gets to keep all of the private dance money. In those cases, the equivalent to what the club takes would probably be greatly appreciated.

    I agree with LL. It's not necessary to tip after a lapdance, but if you get a dance that's really good, the girl is especially fun or whatever, I'd say tip her. It's always a good idea to reward good service with a little extra tip - just like you would tip extra to a waiter or bartender who does an especially good job.

    If you want to tip a girl I would say in most cases, $5 on a single dance is reasonable. However I (and probably most girls) happily accept all tips. Sometimes I get guys who buy a dance from me and they only have $3 left after paying for the dance, and they give me the $3. I feel just as appreciative of that as I do the ones who tip extravagantly, because 1) a tip is a tip and 2) it's always nice when a guy feels I deserve ALL the money left in his pocket. I certainly appreciate that more than the asshole with plenty of money who grudgingly pays for a single dance or tips that single dollar on stage as if it kills him to do so, or acts like he's doing me a huge favor by giving me that ONE dollar or paying for that ONE dance.

    I agree totally. Sometimes, though, I want to look at the guy who tips $2 on a $100 dance and say, "What was the point of that?" But you're right, a tip is a tip. If EVERYONE tipped even just $2 on dances, it would add up fast. Still, though, if you're tipping on a dance and it was good, your girl would probably light up when you hand her $5 bonus at the end!

    Are tips expected?
    No... You learn quickly they don't come as often as you think...

    But are tips appreciated?
    Absolutely! A guy who tips and goes the extra $5 (or whatever) always makes me smile.

    I think there has been maybe one or two times ever that I didnt tip and it was a pretty bad dance. I always tip and many times I double the dance cost at least. If a dancer makes me feel that great, then I want HER to feel great next time she sees me come in. Not too many people outside of the buisness appreciate all the shit that goes with the job and I have been able to get to know enjough of dancers to know this. Talk about preparing for a meeting? imagine for a moment getting up in front of a room full of people and hoping that what you have worked really hard at keeping (ur body) fit, is pleasing to most of the people in the room as u take off your clothes,,,, it must be difficult and tiring at times. Anyway thats my 2 cents. OH Anonymous, I am wondering if you dance anywhere near me?

    I've been known to tip at least $5 extra for a really good set of dances. Rarely, I even give $10 tips if the dances were truly outstanding.

    I just got back from Vegas over the weekend and tipped my fav $20 extra on each set of $100/3 dances.

    She made an extra $45 (2-$100 sets and another fiver on the floor) alone on tips plus the $5 that I tipped at the stage when I first walked in and saw her on stage.

    Tipping is never a requirement, although many dancers you lap with may imply otherwise.

    Basically, it is up to you to decide to tip or not. Personally, if I only get 1-2 dances with a gal, there's a reason. It was a medoicre lap and not worth anything more than face value.

    OTOH, if I am getting 4-5 or more laps with a dancer, there's a reason for that as well. While she is indirectly benefitting by not having to walk the floor in search of new custys, I'll generally tip her depending upon performance (read mileage). Apparently, I'm from the My Blue Heaven school ("I don't believe in tipping, I believe in overtipping") as I will usually tip $20 for every $80 worth of laps I buy. But then, my multi-lap dance partners are worth it.

    Extras (not to be confused with mileage) are another matter. These should be negotiated up front so there is no confusion as to the cost. Have fun, and don't overpay just because...have a reason and a plan.

    Actually extras (which is prostitution ) should never happen in the club, period.

    If a custy needs or wants to buy sex,BJ,HJ etc he should not be seeking those services in a stripclub but rather at a legal brothel or from an escort or a streetwalker. And please practice safe sex , including oral.

    I like tipping the girls that deserve it. I will tip 5 bucks on a 10 dollar dance and if the girl is good or/both has a wonderful personality I will ask for a VIP dance. That's when the real tipping comes out. I will tip 30 bucks on a 75 dollar dance and 50 bucks on a 150 dollar dance. But if the girl has bad communication skills or is in a lousy mood I will deny the dance all together.

    Hey thanks, everyone, for all the advice. I like the idea of tipping for a SERIES of good LDs. I figure, if I like what I'm getting, it's better for both of us if I just spend more money on another dance. Unfortunately, I clearly don't have as much disposaable income as some of the other guys on here.

    The amount I tip usally depends on whats going on in the club. Slow nights I tip more, cause this makes most the girls forget about a bd night. Hopping nights less, because everyone is making money.

    I usually just say its 30 dollars or whatever you'd like to give me...giggle...
    or a minimum of 30 dollars, but i dont try too hard for that but it really makes my night when a guy tips me for a ld even if its only 5 bucks. it shows he understands we dont keep all of that money and he wants to pay me, not the club.

    How different! At my ol' club, every guy was asked for a tip, usually upfront, and usually $10-20 - dances were $20. One or two dancers would ask afterward, such "don't you think that deserves a tip?" One dancer would say "do you perfer to tip before or after the dance?" custy: "why would I tip before?" dancer: "well, the better the tip, the better the dance, but you can wait to see how much you like it first."
    More nights every guy would tip $20/per dance, other nights nobody would tip, was very random, and I almost never asked.
