Title: Do I need to take a professional course to learn sensual massage?
Post by: Budaqueen on 26 March 2016, 08:45:16 am
I'm a newbie and I'd like to offer sensual massage as a service.  Do I need to be professionally trained, and if so, can you reccomend a course in London? Or can I get away with my own free form massage?

I learned loads by taking a taster day course at the local college. Enough to understand the basic strokes, and make ahalf decent back and buttocks routine. Massage is tiring and I only do it when specifically asked.

One downside is distinct frustration when anyone who doesn't know what they are doing, and many do fancy themselves as good masseurs, gives me one which is light and swirly - I'd rather not have one!

I have trained in massages but I wanted a massage off the boyfriend so I made him watch the 1 hour video on youtube for swedish massages and tbf it was fine he just couldn't locate egsact muscle groups but *shrugs* often times I don't give clients the full on professional massage because that'd take at least 30 mins. I'm trying to turn them on too, unless they specifically ask to ease their muscles, if you are talking about nuru body to body massages.... I found that if you are honest about your skill level when offering it that a lot of people are willing to be test subjects, I ask that they buy the gel at ?15-?25 a bottle for the added set up and clean away job, The first booking I had for that I told him, i've never done it before so it should be interesting, we had a laugh trying and each client on from there with nuru was fine as long as you keep a straight face when your slipping all over the place & keep sexy haha. I guess it's personal prefrence, I have to disagree, i've had low quality massages from boyfriend & all kinds of massages as I go weekly and a massage is a massage like pizza is pizza. (some would disagree but you can gain basic skill level on your own). Put a bit of gumption into your strokes and most appreciate the relax.

I think if you're going to put up standard prossie ads including massage as a service then just winging it would be fine provided you're reasonably competent (and the YouTube video mentioned above probably wouldn't hurt :)).

If you're going to advertise as a masseuse though - sensual or otherwise - then I think you need to be a masseuse. One of the main things punters who go for this are paying for is the massage, and they'll rightly expect it to be a proper one when they can get a professional massage at a spa for half the price. I don't offer massage, but I'm sure you'd have no trouble finding a short course with a bit of Googling.

It's not always a good idea, especially when starting to offer "everything".  Guys may see it as "oh she's ticked all the boxes, she's probably master of none". IMO best to start off with a few of the basics and building up with experience.

When I was whoring I asked guys if they wanted "a back rub" as I'm certainly no masseuse even if I was told they found it soothing, relaxing and I had a soft touch.

I did my Diploma in Swedish Massage (DSM)  a few years ago did a practical exam written exam and answered questions. So im trained - worked in a spa and also work for myself still do proper massage, but expanded into sensual, id say that non pro and pro is def different, but if you are up front and let them know then you would be ok. just as long as you let them know one way or another.

sensual isn't the same as a pro massage though so if doing sensual you can self learn. lots of teasing moves , gentle and you have to follow a plan as if your all over the place it doesn't work. I tend to use lomi lomi and infuse sensual elements into that - gradual strokes of the sack from behind medium pressure along his crack and over his anus - try to cover long sweeping strokes.

You need to know how to wank, its an art watch klixen or felluchia, its about the tease. and the build up. the guys love it.
