Body Parts missed during massage

[Anna :D]

This is really starting to annoy me now. I do not advertise anywhere for 'full body massage' yet I get requests from not so honourable men for it. The problem is, they seem genuinely surprised that I don't massage the genitals! Since when is there such thing as a genital massage anyway- I think it's more likely to be referred to by another name or two! Please tell me, has anyone been taught how to massage the genitals in college? If so, would love to know about it seeing as it comes across that some people seem to think it should be included to gain a full massage experience If it's so integral, would also love to hear from anyone who has been to a genuine, qualified therapist and received one of these treatments. I'm sick of men expecting this. Arggggggghhhh!

Apparently there is training, called Tantra with a history going back thousands of years, just Google tantric massage training UK.

From what you say it might be worth stating what you don't do in your FAQ's as you don't want any of 'those' requests and you are asked frequently.

I don't think anyone in this thread, including me, has said genitals SHOULD be included in a massage, however the Tantric 'Tradition', remember going back 5000 years, obviously posits they should be.

I guess it's only 'integral' to a Tantric or whatever name you want to give it, massage though .

Certainly massage practitioners in the UK are a very uptight bunch all suffering and moaning about 'dis-honourable men' making their 'yukky' requests!

Can't help you on the last question by the way

Actually that's one of the worse things you can do on a website FAQ page. Search engines just grab all the words without any context, so if a page says 'genitals are not included in massage' but someone searches for 'genital massage' the page will appear in the results, and people often think 'it's in my results, they must do it'.

Can't win can you

I notice adds on Gumtree for massage, many state "not a sexual service" does that mean they are or they come up in searches more often?

Could put :Q. Are there any other services on offer? A. No this is a strictly professional service with NO other services offered beyond those stated on this website.

I assume this is only a rhetorical question regarding genital massage. But since you have asked, you would be interested to know that there is such therapeutic massage. The well known Taoist master - Mantak Chia even teaches this modality in the school of Universal Tao Health centre and is offered by qualified nurses both for males and females. So yes I can confirm that it is taught at a college with a very high esteem all over the world.

Karsai Nei Tsang, also known as Genital Health Massage, has been developed specifically for improving the health of the genitals and the genital area. The Karsai Nei Tsang practitioner uses deep, direct pressure with small circular massage movements to break up and dissolve the sedimentation in the circulatory system, release the toxicity and remove the physical and emotional blockages in the pelvic area. It is also effective in alleviating back pain, improving the body’s alignment, strengthening the pelvic floor muscles and increasing general vitality.


When he was in London a couple of years ago I attended a course with Mantak Chia and he explained that this can be very effective for women with unidentified pelvic pain, vulvodynia, even recurring UTIs.

Decided to google genital massage and was shocked to find clitoral massage,prostrate massage etcetc. it is erotic massage and I am sorry but I don't think that can be achieved with out feeling anything sexual!

Hmmm...Going back to the original point,...

I've just qualified in Holistic Massage, so the aim is basically general stress relief. If there are any problem areas that need proper attention there's no way I can fit a whole body massage into an hour. I've also just gotten my website up and running, and have been concerned about the term Full Body Massage for this reason.
I think I'm going to look at it again and reword it. And of course, remember to discuss this as part of the consultation!

Kevin, you really made me laugh

 

[TokioHotelFangirl]

Fair play, Coolhandluke and Andre7 Though I bet I can guarantee you probably 100% that the men who phone me up are not well versed in the ideologies of tantric or genital health massage I think I agree with Amethystfairy on this one!

 

[Anonstar]

I don't disagree with Amethystfairy, but it also depends on the mindset of the individual and how they perceive the treatment. I doubt, if a woman with sever, chronic vulvar pain would experience genital therapeutic massage as sexual or sensual.

At the same time I have given reflexology or Indian head massage to fully dressed women and sometimes judging by the feedback, they clearly experienced the session as an erotic one.

I'd be even more surprised if a woman with severe, chronic vulvar pain would be that keen on having it massaged!

 

[Indumukhi]

You haven't met my therapist

 

[John Masulonis]

Never mind the 'Full Body' massage; tell me about the 'Extended Full Body' massage! (on your web page - Treatments).
PS When can I book?

 

[ezzzzz]

You may want to look at the book "Heal Pelvic Pain" by Amy Stein. She has a detailed section on genital internal and external massage, albeit refers to it as self massage, to avoid any criticism of impropriety.

Amy Stein is also a contributor to the medical textbook Female Sexual Pain Disorders: Evaluation and Management, and she serves on the board of the International Pelvic Pain Society.

as a runner I would say that along with my upper back glutes are the area that i would most appreciate being massaged. This is partly because they sometimes get stiff or painful and partly because I cant massage them myself - I can have a reasonable go at calves, for example. I have had some surprisingly good work done on them - without direct massage but a massage would work well and feel more connected
I find the idea that the back of my body ends at the waist and starts again half way down my thighs odd and a bit disquieting.
I see the ideal massage therapist as being accepting of bodies, while protecting self and client by keeping to boundaries. I suspect these boundaries will move around a bit according to the cultures and sensitivities of both.

My C&G training for Swedish body massage did not cover the chest or anywhere inbetween the knees and hips.

Hi LV

That's terrible. Still, I'm sure you can work it out. It's just the same moves that you use on other parts of the body. There's plenty of CPD/Post-Grad courses out there.

Hi Longvines have you had training on these areas since?During your training did you think it strange so many muscle groups were missed off?

 

[Gringa_uno]

It happens to us all! You get to the end of a massage then think I could have done that better then you realise you have missed something, its human -and as most of the posts point out -certain areas are not touched for good reason! So for the most part a full body is never a full body!

 

[billybob Thorton]

Aye, and there's the rub

 

[Mummy N Daughter <3]

When receiving an enquiry for a Hawaiian Lomi Lomi massage, a massage that is given fully naked, I have on occasion had a guy ask me "what happens if I get arosed?" with the distinct implication that I should 'finish him off'! naturally...lol

Funny eh?
