lol and neither are lawsuits !.... or angry husbands wondering why their wives want to book 30 massages a month with me lol....

Men are victimized in this industry in a big way... youd be suprised what women will try to pull when theyre on the table... :shock:... :)

I know you love "The Breeze Code"

:)
 
Oh... so you just ASSUME that you'd get repeat business.... 8)

LOL, actually, I understand your quandary. It's a hard business for men, some women are weird about guys giving them massages and some men don't want to be "touched" by a guy.

I'm cool with whoever, though I DID have a guy one time that I felt took a LONG time draping during the massage. (sneaking a peek, if you catch my drift), but probably the most eyebrow raising (furrowing?) massage was by Mario, one of the Filipino tailors, on one of the ships I worked on. For my b-day I had him give me a massage in my room (standard on the ships... I'm not silly ;)) because it was only $25 for an hour (hour and a half?). He finished up by rubbing my ****ies for a bit. Now... I've had A LOT of massages and... that was new, but I figured, well... maybe it's how they do it in the Philippines, plus he's as gay as the day is long... so I let it go.

Come to find out... he's married with THREE KIDS!!! :shock:

I think its not the fact that some women are weird about getting massages from men that scares me...Its those wackos that purposely get massages by men and do things or put themselves out there in a way where they could possibly open a lawsuit against the guy...

Yeahh draping is the FIRST thing we learned in school... and its the thing I try to practice the most...fluid draping means a safe and happy customer... :) Im pretty good with it... the only time I have ever exposed someone was at school when I first started...it was my teacher... I dont think she noticed cause I covered her back up reeeal quick but I was still like in shock.. :shock: ...they say...hey if it happens it happens, its the human body, just redrape and go about the massage as if it never happened...

lol and the ****ie massage..yeah they do that in different countries... its actually pretty beneficial to move the breast tissue (via the myofascial sheath ...a fibrous network of interconnected tissues that surrounds your muscles).... but its nothing that you cant do at home... its most definitely taboo... I for one will never do that to anyone but my lady ... That being said...there are some men who go into this profession (waaaaaaaaaaaackos!) who are doing it just so they can touch women (or men..)...

I dont even step foot in that whole realm of thinking...to me its medical-massage. I enjoy being able to identify all the muscles, especially when people ask... so its good stuff :) I try to just bring the higher-level of knowledge vibe to it... to reassure my clients im not here to be a perve. Im here to help you feel better :)

looove it...

Now if someone wants to massage my ****ies (or lack thereof)... go right ahead :) Im a massage whore and will take any bodywork i can get
 
when i was in school i had a customer actually leave a "love stain" on my table! he kept asking me if i was going to massage his head and i already had, so i just reminded him that i had and asked if he wanted me to do a little more work on his head any way. he said yes, so i redid the typical head stuff... i was so naive that i didn't think about the other meaning of head.
when i was doing his back he kept moving too much but in little wiggles so i asked if he was ok. he said he was just ticklish but that i should continue with the massage. i was so shocked when i realized what was on the center of my sheets after he left!! i found out that he called later on and tried to book with me once a week for the rest of my schooling. i told the teacher and the owner of the school and he was banned.

@Ian-i always would choose a man over a woman for a massage...i like the harder pressure that men usually have. it sucks that you have to worry about being sued...esp if you give a good massage!
 
It's funny you say that Krissy, because I find men don't tend to go hard enough even when I say that they can go harder... I think some guys worry that they're gonna "break you," ESPECIALLY the really big guys.
If/when I get Nick to rub my back, he NEVER goes hard enough... I have to tell him to try and break my shoulders... and then it's ALMOST good enough,

i would just tell them i have a high pain tolerance and to do their "worst". then i'd tell them harder or softer... this convo is making me want a massage... :cry:

My best friend is a massage therapist and has been for 10+ years. I would not be suprised. Take comfort in the fact that you are generally bigger and stronger than those who are out of line.

That said your new site is great! My only suggestion is a wider table size. Information is the key to a higher search engine rating and the more information you give the better, like you've done so far. Awesome!

Thank you!!... Only thing is I have no idea how to make the table size bigger...the fact that it looks like that as it is is pretty much luck and trial and error. lol... See... My mom has been saying the opposite though, she told me that its a little too verbose and I should try to cut down on some of the stuff that seems to medical and put it more into lay terms and straight to the point... do you agree?? just curious :) I like the medical sort of feel for some reason but maybe thats cause Im a massage nerd lol

@Krissy...eeeeeeeeeew lol I would have given that dude one of those UFC elbow punches to the side of his head...lol ... see how he likes THAT...

@krissy/kitty... In regards to pressure, I agree... I like the deeper work, but sometimes deepest is not always the best.. my motto is "no pain, more gain" I ususally use my intuition and perception to go as deep as I can as slow as I can (think of sinking your hands into cornstarch and water...if you try too quick you get nowhere but if you slooooow it down... its good stuff :) ).... If your body starts to fight against me(or whatever therapist) by tensing up...then the work is not going to do much good and might actually hurt you or make you feel more sore.

I use a pain scale... 1 are you friggin serious i cant feel that at all... and 10 being if you dont lighten up right away im jumping off your table and will beat you with the bolster....

I like to stay around a 4-6...right about in the middle...

Most of the time when a therapist cant get deep enough they are not using the right "tools" (different ways you can use your (the therapist) body to give the client as much pressure as they need, but not straining your fingers/thumbs and wrists) Have to work for longevity because the usual life of a therapist in this industry if they dont take care of themselves is 3-5 years... That being said I know some who have been in the field for 20 or more...... the key is work smarter, not harder... I make use of elbows, fists, forearms etc... even knees if I need to ... :)

I am definitely not bigger or stronger than alot of dudes I work on (even some of the women lol)... but Im working on that... I have been trying to get into a weightlifting program and stuff to bulk up a bit but its soooooo hard ... I am def a hardgainer...my challenge is I just dont have the appetite most of the time to eat lol...

(dont think im crazy...) but Im never nervous, I can overpower anyone if they try to attack me (again..smarter not harder)... it also helps that I carry a 1.5 ft machete ive sharpened to samauri status (dont believe in guns..im old school)...and I make it well known if someone decide s to get out of line theyre not going to be leaving with all appendages... lets face it... all they have is a sheet in between them and I...

So Im never really nervous about being attacked...for women on the other hand... I always tell my women-therapist-friends that they need to carry some form of protection preferably pepper spray or wasp-spray (the wasp killer stuff...that stuff is WAY worse than pepper spray and it can shoot like 20 ft...with deadly accuracy...way better than pepper spray!)
