I've been wondering this for about 6 months now. Sorry if this has been covered before but i just spent a couple hours searching the boards and couldn't find the answer.

Awhile ago i had a date scheduled which included some outdoor activities, but when the time came the weather was really bad and neither one of us wanted to brave it. So we ordered some Chinese, i kinda learned how to eat with chop sticks(what a mess that was!) and we ended up having a really enjoyable evening.

Anyway, since we had the extra time together, i attempted to give her a massage. It's just been one of things that i always wanted to do to a woman.

Nothing deep, just a light one. I have no training of any type and i had never attempted to that before so i'm sure my performance was marginal at best, but i gave it the old college try and spent almost the next hour doing it.

She seemed to enjoy it, and personally, i found it to be a great turn on and lead in to the festivities of the evening. There has been one other time after that when i would have liked to do it again on a smaller scale due to the time constraints. However it was my first visit with this lady and it seems that on first visits the general answer i get when i ask damn near anything is always "yes, i'd like that". For some reason it seems that truely honest answers don't come until you've seen someone more then once.

So my question is this. On average, do you ladies enjoy a client trying to give you a massage, even though it's most likely going to be half-assed? Or is something like best left to the professionals in your opinion and i'm wasting my time evening attempting it?

I love to give massage, and have been told I am quite good at it.  However, to me it has depended on the appointment whether it was appropriate or not.  Some providers are more sraight down to business, and some are more comfortable taking their time and being worked up some.  I one time gave a woman a massage that was so sensual that she was literally dripping by the time I was finished.  

I am curious how the ladies feel.

I'm a competitive athlete, and train 2 hours a day, so a deep tissue one is always greatly appreciated.  But the lighter, more sensual ones land a close second!  Touch is a wonderful sensation, and I can't see how any lady wouldn't love receiving a massge.

no b/c it puts me in a position of vulernability and I'm no longer in control. That makes me uncomfortable. Chances are he wouldn't try to harm me but ya know never trust anyone. I have let a couple well know regulars massage me b/c they really wanted to and I figured I probably should b/c I know them so well but I couldnt enjoy it b/c I kept thinking how easy it would be for him to put me in a hold and rape me. I'm stricly massage only.

I like them. If you are good. If you are bad, it feels awful. I don't like the light touch, but I really don't like the gropy nerve pinching stuff either. I usually see a professional because I don't want to feel like I need to preform afterwards. I just want to relax, and let go. If its understood that that is the case, its fine. Usually this works well on an overnight appt., when time is not a constraint.

that my manhood is squarely between her butt cheeks.  While she's getting a massage, I am too!  Plus, I get points for being so unselfish.  She thinks it's for her but it's really for me. Ah men, we're all dogs, aren't we!

But, yes, if I've seen him before and we've become comfortable. In the meantime, foot massages always work well and never get turned down!

Yes!

And it makes no difference to me whether it's light, deep, amateur or experienced...the touch of someone's hands when you're both naked is sensual and erotic.

it's not a tease. That means someone trying to get you in the mood (which I already am )for something else and it lasts only one minute. I think when a gentlemen wants to give me a massage, it's so thoughtful because, after all, it's their dime and time. It's not necessary, but I certainly enjoy it and it relaxes me even more.

Thank you for asking. That was a great post.

Hugs,

Yes,
relaxation and excitement at the same time creates a wonderful dynamic!  As someone else mentioned, this is better for the longer sessions, or I worry about whether the gentleman is having as nice a time as I am... and I love to return the gift as well.

I think it's sweet and generous to offer and really cool that you truly enjoy it.  Knowing that, I could relax and receive but if I was hesitant it would only be because I'f feel a little guilty.  (Like, "hey that's MY job.")

Like you, I love giving massages and often wish I had hours and hours to do just that.

YES,YES,YES!!! Even a bad one is good to me

When a gent asks what he can do to please me, I WILL always want a massage. I think it is sweet,kind and does turn me on. Hugs,Devin

Love it... I am sorry but who cares if it professional... the fact someone is caressing you allllll oooovvveeerrr.... hmmmmmm, who in thier right mind wouldn't enjoy that? Besides it truly can't be that bad and even if it was the thought behind it is so genuine that you could melt more than some tight muscles... such a sweetheart you are...
