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 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.

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.
