Yes and No. Depending on the facility. Different strokes for different folks. In my experience when visiting these places is the table shower is included in the hourly fee. But I have came across a few who charge a minimal fee for the service. It's usually $ 10 to $ 20. May be best to shower before arriving.

In my area (S.ILL.) the TS seems to be separate from the massage time. The last time that I was at the AMP that I frequented the most they charged me for the TS and I haven't been back. I found a place a bit closer and the mamasan and providers automatically take you to the shower...I guess you could decline, but why? It is a nice way to start and it feels really good, also shows them that you are (probably) not LE, esp. if you walk to and from the shower room without wrapping a towel around you.

My view on a table shower is when you receive a table shower you essentially are laying in another man's body oils, shit, sweat and whatever else the previous dude brought in. 99% of the girls won't properly clean the table after each customer let alone on a daily basis.

I used to help my old girl friend run a shop and I made her scrub the shower stall daily.

I have laid on a few table shower bed and it smelled like an old gym locker. Took a shower just the other day and the Korean chick gave me her personal body scrub pad and soap, she said the ones she uses on customers wasn't that clean.

Sooo......we love to have our tools scrubbed and cleaned by a hot chick but we should wonder how clean the environment is?

Sorry for raining on anyone's parade!! I love a nice long table shower as well. I have received a lot of HJ on the table and wondered if she got all the jisum washed down after she dries me off?

Korean shops seem a lot cleaner.

Whenever I have gotten a TS the provider has always washed down the table before she comes and gets me, (well, a few times I stood there and watched her soap it up and rinse it off before I got on)and after taking me back to the massage room they will let me finish drying off and get situated on the table while they go rinse down the table, again.

Rock, I hate to yank your chains and disappoint you but I would think after 25 yrs of renting pussy your perception wouldn't be skewed. I surmise your ability to differentiate what Mt. Everest is merely attempting to convey. It's not a matter of frequenting a place of high echelon. It's a matter of sanitary and hygiene. I'll be the first to admit TS can be fun, but are they sterilized and besmirched to scrub our sphincters in? What fossil is the ROCK sipping Kool-Aid under?

all the ts i have had they have washed down the table with soap and water with me standing there

Thanks for all of your comments, but the answer to my main question seems to be that a "Free Table Shower" is not free, because it is part of the 30 or 60 minute charge you are paying for.
A "Free Table Shower" should be the extra 10 or 15 minutes it takes, before, or after, the time you are paying for the massage, or whatever.

Webguy...At my current favorite AMP the TS is not part of the massage time (maybe IF you are considered to be a regular customer?). I always get a TS and the quickest session I have had (getting out of my car, stripping, TS, massage, etras, getting dressed, and returning to my car) has been in the general area of 75 to 90 minutes. I have asked if I could have 90 minutes for a massage session and they haven't done it yet.

I agree with Rock....never had a concern about it as I see them clean it. Besides, how much do you know about the people handling your food at a restaurant?

Germaphobia is running rampant now days from the Oprahization of society. In short, quit acting like a Jewish mother and enjoy yourselves.
