Massage > Massage For You

Outlined here is what you have to do and what you may expect when you go for a Massage

Massage is an intimate personal service, when you go for a massage you could go to a private house, a city clinic, or have a therapist come to your home.
It should be clean, relaxing and private. The therapist should be well presented, treat you well and have a friendly manner without fuss. You may be massaged on a table, a bed or on the floor depending on the massage method. Everything must be fresh, clean and warm (the optimal temperature about 25 degrees). The atmosphere calm, perhaps with relaxing music.

We all like to be fondled and made a fuss of. If warmth, comfort, cleanliness and privacy accompany this, you can relax and enjoy the sheer physical pleasure of the massage and the euphoric state of mind it induces.

The reason you are going for a massage is because you want to feel good. Perhaps it is to break down built up tensions, or to soothe aching muscles, but generally it is because you like to be given some intimate personal attention. You may only want to have on part of your body treated, ie feet, facial or back... do ask for what you want.

It is beneficial to shower before your treatment either before you leave home or at the clinic if it has the facilities. If you are comfortable it is better to be naked, or if shy, leave your nickers on. The therapist will generally cover you with a towel.

Remember to tell of any health problems the you may have for both yours and the therapists protection.

You may prefer a very vigorous massage or be soothed with soft techniques. At no time should massage be unpleasant or painful although in therapy for very tense or strained muscles you may find the treatment causes some discomfort but should not exceed your tolerance level and you need to be able to relax into this form of treatment for it to be effective. The therapist although often intuitive is not a mind reader, you must ask for your needs and desires in your treatment.

You may be left to have a short rest after massage treatment. This aids further relaxation. After the treatment do drink plenty of water.

Massage Time
The time taken to perform a massage can be anything from a 10 minute neck and shoulder release to 2 or 3 hours of bliss.

The Massage Medium
An organic soft non-sticky oil without odour which spreads easily and washes off without trouble is to be preferred. Oils such as sweet almond, avocado, grapeseed, rosehip, canola and others are suitable. Fragrance can be added with essential oils which are often used to assist relaxation and help heal your body.

SEX
If this is all you want you are better served by going to a massage parlour or brothel. However some therapists include sexual therapy as a part of a therapy for sexual healing ie, to treat sexual dysfunction. Massage due to it's sensual nature can be interpreted as sexual, you may feel aroused during treatment, however this is okay, we are sexual beings and your your therapist will not have any judgement or take advantage of your vulnerability. To allow yourself to be open with your sexual feeling often allows deeper healing on other levels.

Massage in your HomeWhen you make your booking you need to specify your requirements to the therapist as to the type of massage and the length of time. You must have your room warm as once oil is applied, your body will cool down. We recommend a room temperature of about 25 degrees. You may be treated on a bed, or a blanket on the floor, or the therapist may bring a massage table to set up, which ever, you will also need to check that you will not be unduly disturbed. (Take the phone off the hook)

Fees
In New Zealand there are some beneficiaries and gifted amateurs who will offer treatments from as little as NZ$15.00 per hour. However qualified therapists charge anything from NZ$30.00 to over $100.00 per hour depending on their level of expertise.
In The USA, a good massage can be as much as US$200.00 per hour.
