not referring specifically to "YOU" the OP  
   
 "YOU" as in anyone reading this post or anyone who wants to know more about Nuru Massage.  
   
 Well I guess I am just ahead of my time  
 I was doing Tantra before anyone knew it was called Tantra , and I was doing "Nuru Massage"  
 before anyone called it Nuru  
 Too bad I wasn't creative enough to bottle it up and give it a name LOL LOL LOL  
   
 So is a "Nuru Massage" considered Nuru because of the Nuru gel or because of the technique and results ??  
   
 My vote goes to the technique and results .  
 Let me explain - The technique of what today is called  "Nuru" I have known by the name -  
 "Thai Massage"  
   
 While that may not be the original type of what is called "Thai Massage", it was the nickname given to this type of technique. ( erotic , naked body to body full massage that incorporated true massage healing and sensual massage )  
 This was very popular in Thailand in the 90's ...... or maybe before that , but that is when I was in Asia.  
 I learned about this the old fashion way .......... in person, while I was living in Asia ( Japan , Thailand , India and Hong-Kong )  
   
 Back in those days no one had internet or an Iphone ...... I know hard to believe LOL LOL  
 There was no google to find out info about anything .  
 One traveled around the world with nothing but a book called - Lonely Planet. ( there was a book for each country )  
 The book gave some guide to start a journey , but once you got to a country you were on your own  
 to discover and learn about things that no one wrote about or maybe never even seen before.  
   
 I traveled to remote places where there were no highways , no cars , no paved roads , no hotels ,  
 no buildings . Some places didn't even have electricity.  
 Some places you had to travel to in a row boat , hiking miles before you found other humans.  
 Which in a way was very cool . You got to discover new things on your own.  
 Experience things first hand. See things that maybe no one else saw before.  
   
 So in 2010 a new craze started to catch on around the Western World of something that has been done for thousands of years in the Eastern World.  
 The Western World always seem to be a bit behind when it comes to stuff like that and sex ........ well better late then never  
 And now fast forward we have the Nuru Massage .........still kicking myself for not bottling up that idea LOL LOL LOL  
   
 The Nuru gel starts out cool to the touch of the skin and warms up as the massage goes on.  
 The gel is thicker and glides better ( feels slippery and smooth ) then regular massage oil/lotion.  
   
 I have found a gel that meets these criteria's to create The CindySpice nuru massage ........  
 which I really call a Thai Massage . Well I didn't invent this massage , so who am I to give it my name  
   
 Why don't I use the "Nuru Gel" and just call it a "Nuru Massage" ??  
 Well first off TRUE Nuru conditions requires a specially heated room , preferably a steam room.  
 Since Vegas weather is hot and DRY ....... not exactly something that is possible to do , unless you have a spa type room.  
   
 Real Nuru gel is slippery , clear , non toxic , water based massage gel made from Nori seaweed.  
 It is very hard to find and it takes about 20 minutes to prepare.  
 Chemical alternatives to Nori Seaweed under different brand names such as Nuru and Numa are commonly found.  
 They contain negligible amount of seaweed , a very high proportion of water and some chemicals added to mimic the consistency of the original Nori Gel.  
   
 People who have used commercial nuru gel found it drying or too sticky and didn't enjoy it on the skin.......... combine that with Las Vegas dry weather ....... yeah not exactly what a nuru massage should be.  
   
 I never tried using nuru gel ( real or commercial ) this is feedback that I got from people who have used it.  
   
 The gel I use isn't oil or lotion ....... it is a gel.  
 As I mentioned it meets criteria's of the feel of REAL nuru gel , but it isn't made from seaweed.  
 It doesn't require any special room temperature , conditions or preparation .  
 It fits into my sessions with out leaving a mess or need for any special mattress.  
   
 Sorry I am not exactly answering your question. The fact that you said in your post REAL GEL......  
 I assume you understand more about this then most people do.  
 BUT , I wanted to provide a PSA to help the public here get a little more info regarding your request and knowledge of Nuru.  
 Also to let people know Nuru massage , doesn't have to include Nuru Seaweed gel ......  
 unless that type of gel is what they want for that type of massage technique.  
   
 This concludes The Spice PSA of the day
