London TCM rates

[sparkus]

Not wanting to stir a hornets' nest or give ideas, but some of the stuff I am hearing even from TCM regulars is peturbing.

These women clearly swap notes and claims of routine commanding of 80 for topless HE not uncommon (a semi-regular said she won't budge on 100 for b2b now). You only need to read the reviews on here to see a pattern emerging.

My regulars have their rate card and I can't say fairer than that and don't but these days I am wary about trying new places/women because of these silly prices (and as said in other thread, there's nothing more criminal than blue balls and a fastened bra).

I get the feeling whole high street TCM trade has become overheated and the shops themselves are expecting a big crack down by the authorities, in which case maybe and the girls are trying to max out their take before the curtain comes down. Not that it will stay down for long, it never has in the past.

I still think the TCM shops are much better VFM vs independents.
Most of these EE are over 120 for b2b easily. £80-100 just for HE

[Titti Tatti]

Agree. A year ago 20/ 40 seemed to be the standard, now it's 30/50 if you are lucky and b2b needs more clarification. Her idea can be you can feel my top half while I stand at the side with my tights on.

Not in my experience, though in most cases I've only ever gone following a review on here to ones with fixed prices.

It's amazing how at shops like Zen, ORBS or Living Health you can get prolonged RO and facials for 40 whereas some neighbouring shops demand 50 just for a topless wank.

What amazes me is they really seem to have lost their way. They seem to have forgotten about wanting you to return. So grab as much as they can in that one visit.
People must be paying it, which doesn’t help.

Although, I am sure, if anyone is like me it’s difficult sometimes to hold your ground, when your cock is in their hand / mouth etc.

Surely much of it is what the market will support? If punters are happy to pay for overpriced HE, then why wouldn't girls try their luck? I went to Elements in Baker Street a couple of years ago and after the £45/hr massage fee, this hot EE girl said £100 for B2B. My jaw hit the floor in my head. She must've thought I was a tourist. I politely declined saying "I only pay £50 in here, so maybe only massage today". Bit of silence for a while then we finally agreed on £60. I told her I'm only paying more since she's pretty LOL. Even at £105 all in, I thought it was pricey for what I got (B2B, touching, HE).
If punters don't challenge ridiculous pricing, then it won't change. To compound it, the good value operations will cotton on and raise their own prices. Then we'd be in the shit.

Yes, this is a very fair point. A bloke surely is at his weakest when he's been given a blowjob.

I think this is the essence of chinese commerce.

[sparkus]

The problem is there's no economic theorem which applies here, it's purely arbitrary. In the same shop I have had free FS (after a few visits and her HE was better tbh) yet another demanded 40 to suck one exposed tit through a doctor's coat.

That's the one. Lulu does love it all over her face and chest.

100% agree on that.
I queried the fact that an SP had her knickers on during the "naked b2b" we had agreed on. She said she was naked. I asked if she was born wearing pants. Cue much "I don't understand" and language problems.

I find that the places that offer B2B better value then TCM’s. U get b2b with HE for £80 in the hour. Ok not all are great and some go up to £100 but the look of the girls seem to be breed then the pot luck of TCM.

Now if you want a proper massage as well as the extras then I can see why it would be worthwhile.

One kept hers on and when I queried it said it was to be on the safe side as her period had just finished

Part of the problem is the merry go round of the girls. Once a punter has coughed up at one venue they believe they can charge the same wherever they work.
I travel around a fair bit and the issue is not confined to London. As a result I have become assertive as I am not in the position to play the long game.
When I am asked "Have you been here before?" I always reply "several times". If asked whom I have seen before I just say that it is not polite to talk about other staff. Even if it is a first visit.
If they ask if I have had a massage before then it is a yes, lots.
If extras are discussed and stupid money is requested I just give a price and she can decide. I will not pay tourist prices. If the girl gets grumpy because I won't give in to her demands and the massage descends into a silent prodding session then I have walked and asked for some money back.
