Guys (and gals)
I know gals like Rhonda and Yvonne give great massages, but I'm not sure if they are Licensed. I don't think it matters, but how do they compare to someone who is a Licensed Massuse? (besides the obvious)

I believe that both of these ladies are licensed, as are most therapists working out of offices in medical buildings.  It has been a long time since I've seen Yvonne, and not so long since Rhonda.  Both have given me good massages, but once they get to know you, they tend to spend more time on the sensual and less time on the theraputic.  One of the reasons I like to find bona fide massage therapists who provide FBSM is because they generally do give excellent massages and I really enjoy the "surprise" at the end.  Perhaps it is the anticipation or "the hunt", but I will probably always seek out the licensed therapist and pray that she will take the hint at the end.  Let me give an example. Just a couple of weeks ago I visited a very young and naive seeming massage therapist on Park.  She was absolutely gorgeous and had just a hint of Asian ancestry.  I did not get under the covers, so she laid a small handtowel over my privates. She gave a wonderful massage and on the flip I was clearly aroused.  Once she started massaging my belly, I pulled down my towel and she gave me a slightly odd look and pulled it back up.  I orgasmed without her even touching my cock.  I will return because I think that maybe she will indulge me in the future. This is the sort of gem I look for. Anyway, sorry for the diversion, but your post got me thinking.

Massage licensing is under local laws, and varies widely.  I believe that these two practitioners mentioned are HHPs (holistic health pratcitioners), not licensed massage therapists. The rules governing HHPs are more liberally defined here regarding nudity, etc., but this will vary with location.  (Also, none of the licensing laws allow giving money for sexual services, so never mention this...duh.)

Licenses aside, what you are really interested in is what services are available.  Non-sexual massage is usually referred to as "theraputic" massage, and if sexual favors are included, it is called "sensual massage" on the West Coast, and often "body rub" on the East coast.  FBSM = full body sensual massage, intended to imply a happy ending.

I have been getting theraputic massages for years, with occasional forays into the sensual realm (see reviews).  I have had some amazing enounters.  Be cool, not aggressive, let her take charge and accept what she has to offer.  Most gals in this biz really want to please you, and just have a few boundaries that need respecting.  Often if you are cool, and sweet, the only rule ends up being "no penetration", which is fine with me since I hate condoms anyway.

Most licensed (or not licensed) masseuses and HHPs are are theraputic masseuses, and NOT sensual masseuses, and they are NOT interested in giving happy endings.  In fact, the suggestion of this will result in an "ackward moment".  I disagree with the responder who suggests you should pull your towel down and hope to get lucky with a theraputic masseuse.  

If sensual massage is available, it will be advertised (subtly, with the terms above) as such, in the appropriate malls.  Yes, a few sensual masseuses advertise in general venues such the Reader and elsewhere, and it is hard to figure out who they are among the theraputic providers.  That is what this forum is for.

Excepting rip offs, you can pretty much tell by price what kind of massage is going to be available.  Good theraputic massage can be had for $50-100/hr, except at resorts, etc., where sky is limit.  Sensual massage is typically $150-200.

Sensual massage services are pretty thin in SD.  Rhonda, she's great.  True FBSM, and a sweetheart.  If you're a newbie, give her a try.  She had her reviews pulled here, but if you search the board you will find her adored by all.  I've only seen Yvonne once, but she also had a great touch.

Anyone have a link for Rhonda's listing wherever it is? Didn't see any reviews.

how do u contact Rhonda ?

It seems we have a mutual desire to seek out new therapists who will provide the HE.  Let's trade notes.  I've seen the girl on Park, pretty much same experience as you, but I think we might be able to train her.  Email me at [email protected] (I haven't been reviewing in awhile).
