The Long and often slippery road to finding a good Sensual Massage

Written by Colin of Massage 33 

It should come as no surprise that according to the International Spa Association, the number of men and women who have visited Spas in the last five years has grown by 900%. Spas are now socially accepted and of course are extremely enjoyable and Londoners recently admitted that a Spa treatment helped them relax better than a Friday night at the pub and it is massage that is at the top of the list for chosen treatments for men.

The challenges for men and women having a massage.

As every man who has experienced massage knows it can be an encounter of mixed feelings. On the one hand to have your body and muscles worked deep and to feel the intimate touch of another’s hands, male or female, is a wonderfully relaxing therapeutic sensation. On the other hand it can also be an experience fraught with anxiety and tension since with even the most expert hands at work many men become acutely aware of the rumbling sensations of arousal as the body responds and with it the fear of obvious visual detection and subsequent embarrassment.

For women although the signals of arousal are not as obvious this does not mean that as the masseur's fingers work their magic she does not feel the warm sensation of arousal creeping into her loins. The frustration of not having it dealt with is equelly as frustrating for a woman as it is a man and i am sure many a lady client has found herself spending a few minutes longer in the shower after, tending to her needs.

Sensual Massage – more than just a “rub & tug”

Getting a turned on during a regular massage is probably every person's fear, particularly if the treatment is clearly designed only to be therapeutic. The embarrassment is compounded more so if the masseur has not brought up the subject of potential arousal and through their own awkwardness to the subject, leaves it as an unspoken “demon” that hangs in the air throughout the whole proceedings! It is because of this that many men and some women will avoid having massage at all, but increasingly more and more are discovering the availability, pleasure and safety of receiving a Sensual Massage that is designed to include both proper muscle work but allows allows, sometimes even encourages, full arousal often to orgasm.

The internet now gives plenty of opportunity to find a sensual massage, there are loads of directories and advertising web sites promoting both male and female masseurs (mostly for male clients)   but how do you find a masseur who is both trained in massage and comfortable to include intimate erotic touch as part of the treatment and treats you in a professional manner is comfortable premises.

How to spot the “Givers” from the “Takers”

With none of the official massage schools broad minded enough to train practitioners how to give sensual massage, clients are generally reliant on their own initiative when searching the pages and pages of adverts. Often sensual massage will be couched in “Tantric” language which, much to the dismay of true Tantra teachers, has become a byword for erotic massage. Just because it talks of “Lingums” and Yonis  “Wands of Light” and "Erotic Flowers" it does not necessarily mean you will receive a professional massage. So for those men and women who do want to enjoy a sensual massage given by a professional here are a few tips on how to sort the genuine “givers” from the “takers”

12 Tips on how to find a good sensual masseur

1. Has the masseur got their own web site – generally if they have invested effort and money in a web site then they will be more serious about their work. The better the web site the more professional the masseur

2. Ask if the masseur has been trained by a legitimate massage school in either Therapeutic, Swedish or Sports Massage – a tip is to ask if they include Effleurage or Petrissage strokes in the massage, any properly trained masseur will know these correct terms for long flowing strokes and kneading movements.

3. Ask for a full description of what the massage will or won’t include, if they indicate that they do not offer sexual services then they will more than likely be more genuine in their approach.

4. Do they display client testimonials on the web site – Of course it’s easy to make these up but usually the genuine testimonials can be spotted rather than those self written.

5. Beware of discounts – a good sensual masseur does not usually need to give discounts.

6. Don’t go for anything less than 60 min – 75 min or 90 is the usual length of a full body sensual massage. Offering 30 minutes generally means only one thing!

7. Do they have their own massage studio or do they just offer “out calls” – a proper massage can really only be given on a massage bed or possibly a yoga mat, beds are not suitable whether hotel or home and generally implies that the massage will slip quite quickly into something more sexual and then finish as soon as the client reaches orgasm with no discount for reduced time.

8. Look for “talent” not “tit” “creativity not cock”. Don’t get swayed by erotic suggestive pictures of the masseurs, take notice of the more professionally presented masseurs.

9. Look at their operating times – if it’s predominantly a late night service then it will be more “tug” than “rub”

10. If you can when making the enquiry speak to the masseur themselves, a lot can be understood from their level of spoken English and knowledge of their service

11. Go with your “gut” if you don’t feel right don’t book, if you feel iffy on the phone imagine what you will feel like when they have their hands on you.

12. And finally NEVER be afraid to walk away before the massage begins. If the venue, cleanliness and atmosphere make you uncomfortable, even if you have to pay a cancellation fee it’s better to be out of pocket than out of your depth!
