    I've only ever had "legit" massages in a spa. Some of those have been really hot though, because the masseuse was really attractive.

    @LaptopGremlin

    Have you ever had a massage that ended up eliciting a physical response, perhaps unintended?

    I'm just glad I'm not his GP.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    You see, that's a part of the problem with society right there.

    We are man.

    You think just cause a dude is health care professional, he's not subject to the same desires and needs as any other swinging phallus?

    That lurid creepy looking dude hung outside the chip shop late Saturday night?
    A university professor of cardiac surgery and hospital consultant?

    What do they have in common?

    Yeah - they both like to get their rocks off - and are basically looking to do it, all of the time.

    What you must understand is, any high level professional, inside the hours of his business, knows to implement a professional level of control on their desires.


    Yes, I do practice in the area.
    No, I have never compromised professionalism, nor do I have the slightest fear I ever would.
    Yes, females have made passes and sexual gestures toward me during business hours.
    And so long as I'm on the clock - this is simply a no go area for me.

    Outside of business hours?

    I'm just like every other slime ball, walking up the high street with a creepy smile, leering at hotties, in nightclubs, hooking up with college girls etc.

    And yes, in massage parlors, trying to get sticky.

    I'm a man, I like to get my rocks off - and I'll never apologize for that.
    But don't make the mistake of thinking that impacts my ability to conduct and behave myself like a consummate professional during times when it's appropriate.

    @LaptopGremlin

    Yes, plenty of times.

    In fact, that's the primary reason I attend massage parlors - see if my game is up to par/try to seduce the masseuse, basically.

    It's always a good time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,834 ✭✭✭Captain Flaps


    Best massage I ever had was in the Imperial Hotel in Cork. Got chatting to the masseuse, the usual bull**** until she mentioned that she was a cage fighter and was doing physical therapy training. She noticed I have bad muscle problems and knots in my shoulders and upper back so after a bit of back and forth and exploratory probing we went from the usual luxury hotel spa experience to this woman basically beating the **** out of my upper back for an hour. My partner was disappointed with her therapist (bit ineffectual, just gently swishing hands around) but mine was bloody marvelous and I felt like superman for days afterwards.

    Yeah - they both like to get their rocks off - and are basically looking to do it, all of the time.

    I've said before, I live in the Benelux region. Mixed, nude saunas are quite common here and I attend every few months, as do most people I know. I've often done sessions such as Rasul, where you sit/stand in a sauna and rub yourself with clay, in a group, for anything up to 30 minutes. There are 13 saunas in total in the complex that I go to, all full of naked people being splashed with water from a Eucalyptus branch in 80 degree heat, rubbing themselves with salt in a Turkish bath, many strange and wonderful things, all naked- clothing is just not hygienic in such a setting. Nobody considers it to be sexual.

    Your above comment is not normal, just as expecting a massage therapist to find you attractive and give you a handjob is not normal. If you are even having thoughts like this about your clients you are a risk and the only responsible thing for you to do is to take action to mitigate that risk.

    lol - hold up here for one hot minute.

    The, "Benelux" region, hmm?
    A quick google search and the official language is dutch - seems to be primarily a dutch/Belgian region.

    So, if I understand you correctly - you're claiming that region is a, "get naked, but not sexual", kind of deal?

    lol - that area is perv central.
    The Dutch endorse hooking, encourage it even.
    There's probably more pervs per capita there than anywhere else in the world.

    They understand the human requisite to get sticky, and thus have not only endorsed it, but regulate it. Government over sight to ensure everything goes down efficiently, and with a base code of conduct (something many other governments insist on turning a blind eye to).
    Depravity is a part of their culture.

    Bad example to use as a means to demonstrate that "forward thinking" = "sexual deprivation".

    If your argument is "getting naked, does not = sexual", then going to the swimming pool, the beach etc, also not sexual; which it's not.
    But it's not, because there's the conscious implementation of correct behavior to facilitate an environment as such.

    If anything, you're reinforcing the overall point I'm making.
    Just cause we exhibit restraint and correct behavior in one environment, doesn't mean we can't act more so on our carnal impulses in another.
    You dig??

    You think when some dudes leave the bath house, they don't go home and shoot into a kleenex over the thought of some 20 year old breasteses being splashed with mineral water that they saw in living color a few minutes earlier?

    lol

    What's not normal here, my sweet - is your attitude.

    You see, I know chicks like to get sweaty also. Now, they typically don't show it, cause the ugly reality is - most men simply aren't hot enough to elicit that.

    What is this about thoughts of my clients?
    Some chick comes in and gets her kit off and maneuvers herself suggestively about the table?
    What exactly do you think I'm gonna do?

    Endanger my license and ability to practice and my income, over something that's simply unethical?

    Restraint, and cognizance - it inhibits these thoughts, in these situations.

    And then somehow using that as a means to tell me I'm not "normal" for having sexual feelings outside of that setting?
    And then actually insinuating I may even potentially be a danger - simply because I'm a man and my "gear" functions with normal frequency??

    n6mZstZ.gif

    ......

    This initiated as me asking what you felt the benefits of pregnancy massage were, and specifically what techniques were used, and the form of therapist carried it out, physio, massage etc?

    A point I'm still interested in.
    But don't try and turn it around into some kind of feminist repressive regime of self validation, hmm?


    And PS - yes I'll try and seduce a regular masseuse if the feelings are right (and try to get her to give me much more than just a handjob).
    Makes me a red blooded male - and there's nothing more "normal" than that.
    Sorry if it gets you rustled...... but we are man.

    Oh dear, you had to Google the Benelux region? We speak Dutch, Flemish, French and German officially here- English is also a widely used language. In the Netherlands, prostitution is legal and as well regulated as it can be- which means that despite regulation, trafficking and coercion is still a feature and every precaution needs to be taken in order to stamp it out completely. Keeping accounts, paying taxes and having regular, mandatory health checks makes it safer- doesn't that sound a bit boring and normal? I have the utmost respect for sex workers, both male and female. There are probably some who provide massage services as well as sexual services, both separately and together, but make no mistake- if you receive a hand job during an appointment for a massage, that is sex work.

    get sticky

    get sweaty

    my "gear"

    The irony of anyone who uses those terms in place of ejaculation, orgasm, intercouse, penetration and penis/ vagina or whatever multitude of terms we have accusing me of sexual repression- delicious!! I'd rather interact normally with people I have a sexual attraction to rather than
    gets her kit off and maneuvers herself suggestively about the table
    in order to
    seduce a regular masseuse

    I have no problem with seeing, talking about, or doing sex. Nudity is not sex. Saunas are not sex. Massages are not sex.
    simply because I'm a man

    Women can be creeps and slimeballs too, although I would suspect that you tend towards the pick up artist side of things which is definitely the making of a lesser man

    I have had lots of massages.
    Both here in Ireland, and outside also, and by men, and by women also.

    They have all been 'legit' places, so no extras asked or offered.
    To be honest , it doesn't matter to me if its a woman or a man doing the rubbing, I just like a nice relaxing massage, eyes closed, and let the oils work.

    Funniest was while on hols in Bulgaria, went to place for massage, it was like a roman bath, men and women in there together, all just wearing those paper underwear things … it was a hot mud massage! It was divine !! amazing feeling....
    One guy was on the table , and when the girl got him to turn over, his member just popped out of the paper underwear... the masseuse just popped it back in for him !
    Everyone just laughed …. That was probably the best massage I ever had !

  • Registered Users Posts: 1,850 ✭✭✭Lillyfae


    Fully qualified massage therapist here, so yes.

    If I paraphrase the lovely Princess Consuela we kind of DO have an AMA...
    How does one become a fully qualified massage therapist?
    One studies and earns a qualification in holistic massage.

    lol - clearly you've never been to the YMCA.
    Massages are not sex.

    This is like a culmination of the former two in that, it's nudity and hotness/sweaty'ness - plus physical contact.

    Pure conjecture.
    There's no statistics or large scale trials to either confirm or deny this.


    PS - do you think your friendly local university graduated male physiotherapist who treats males and females in a professional setting day in day out, doesn't like to get a rub down and some hand "relief" from time to time also?
    Cause you know - we are man.

    I'm just gonna go on record here as saying, I would LOVE if there were more places that offered this at a reasonable price, in professional manner.

    But alas - the majority of outlets opt for the easier/more profitable/stickier option.

    Female here,I had a couple of massages done by girls in hotel spas that were fine, the gentle generic kind of stuff. But on a trip to Ennis I treated myself to a deep tissue massage, my body was in bits with aches and pains. I specifically requested a guy as I have quite a high pain threshold and am kind of bendy.
    The premises weren't the prettiest and I did have a bit of a panic thinking is this a happy ending kind of place.
    He was completely professional and I can safely say it was the best massage experience I've ever had, if you ever have aches/pains and have never had yourself a deep tissue massage you have no idea what you're missing out onðŸ‘ðŸ‘


  • Registered Users Posts: 26 petr1


    Na, never been to.

    To fugly/self conscious/hairy/ etc

    Would love to though.

    Foam roller is my masseuse. My legs usually have a yellow tinge (bruises) on them.
