Sensual?

[justaguy]

I hope this is answerable. What exactly does 'sensual' mean? If I'm looking for the happy ending, will I get it with sensual or should it specify erotic? Thanks.

depends on who you ask. some view sensual as light touch massage. some view sensual as a hand release. those that are certified definition of erotic or sensual might be different that a person that's amateur, normally in sensual a release isn't the goal where in erotic it is the goal. imo oral or anal penetration isn't part of any kind of massage and those who offer it should call it what it is escorting. best thing is ask the masseur what their definition of sensual is.

 

here are the definitions according to a large massage web site.

 

Sensual:

 

This massage is designed to use touch for an emotionally pleasing response. Strokes are typically light or moderate, and are not intended to be physically therapeutic. Typically, an atmosphere of relaxation is set through the use of candles and music. The gay massage therapist is often unclothed as well as the client. Unlike Erotic Gay Massage, Sensual Male Massage may not specify climax as a goal. Instead, it is intended to indulge the client and make him feel special. Sensual massage for man is widely offered by untrained practitioners where full-body contact is utilized. The only structured, trademarked variety of Sensual Male Massage is Body Electric. This variety of sensual massage for man is intended to promote positive self-image, and help to reattach a wholesome view of sexual energy within the body. Sensual massage should be discussed prior to the Sensual Male Massage.

 

 

Erotic Massage :

 

Erotic Massage is a combination of a sensual male massage and relaxing bodywork. Not to be mistaken for Sex, Male Erotic Massage can be integrated with any number of legitimate massage techniques or a light body-rub that includes a sexual release by hand. Generally both the Massage Therapist and Client are nude during this experience. Each Massage Therapist has different ‘rules’ on Erotic Massage guidelines so it is important to talk to the therapist about the experience before coming to any conclusions.

Thanks. It seems to be a tricky area. Is it okay simply to ask if release is part of the definition or do I need to skirt the issue?

[josephga]

Don't ask if it comes with a release because its illegal for a masseur to say yes. when A client asked me if it came with a release my answer was its full body hand contact only draw your own conclusions, lol You could ask them if the massage is full body? they will know you mean release. in most cases

[josephga]

oh if you want them nude too ask don't assume. If you have the urge to touch them in return ask permissions. if they say yes then fine but if they say no then drop it dont push

[justaguy]

Thanks. Your insight is much appreciated.

In my experience (5 years), these definitions are all over the place. Sometimes, masseurs who say "sensual" give highly erotic massages, with mutual touching and caressing. Some masseurs who say "erotic" don't even like to take their shorts off, and you may NOT touch them, at least not in the places you'd like to.

The best thing is to be up front about what you like and what you want when you inquire or arrange a massage on the phone.

I've been disappointed, and I've been pleasantly surprised. You win some and you lose some, is all I can say. Reviews on these sites must be taken with a large grain of salt, but some reviews state what the masseur does, and what areas he massages. I can rely on these factual comments much more than I can rely on subjective judgments, like "This was the best massage I ever had." Well, maybe it was, but just what did that reviewer expect and what does he like?

With masseurs, what you get is very hard to predict with someone you've never seen before -- or sometimes, even with someone you have seen before. My guess is that a masseur is much more governed by the moment, his mood, and the chemistry with the client in determining how far he goes (whereas escorts, in theory at least, are promising a certain level of service just by advertising as escorts).

 

Recent case in point: I had high expectations for a masseur I found on CL after discovering that he also advertised as an escort on RB; moreover, his phone conversation insinuated a lot. In person he was all business, talked about how much he disliked doing massage ("do you know what some of these guys look like?"), told me he didn't like having his nipples touched, and generally gave off very cold vibes. His massage wasn't bad, so I relaxed, enjoyed that, and ignored his personality. When he flipped me onto my back, I naturally grabbed for him (involuntary reflex ). He got hard instantly, yelping "now you can do my nipples -- harder! harder!" through his heavy breathing. We both had very happy endings; the table was a mess to clean up.

 

I don't think any of this was planned on his part -- I'm sure he does have a fairly sour attitude towards what he does (and I won't see him again), but got horny and took advantage of the moment.

My situation is just the opposite. A couple of week ago I booked a massage simply because my muscles were killing me and a massage sounded like just what the doctor ordered. I wasn't concerned about the erotic part. It was an outstanding legit massage. When he asked if I wanted to go further, I was so relaxed I said sure. It produced a very strong and very happy happy ending. Unfortunately he's NYC based (why does NYC have all the really good guys?) so I'm looking.

care to share?

 

justaguy...care to share the skilled NYC masseur!!?!?

Yeah there is always that fine line between sensual and erotic. The previous poster summed it up nicely on what this difference are.

 

Personally 95% of my massage are strictly therapeutic and with guys. That remaining 5% I will say do enter the other categories, and most of those were just unintentional added bonus's. I have always had the mindset when I go for a massage that its just purely for that, and if such bonus's happen it because their was mutual consent or it happened and was thrown in (if it starts and you cool with it would you say no???)

 

Most masseurs are really good at reading there customer, and yes it is awkward to ask for the extra stress release. Just do you best to make the subtle gestures, innuendos, and read the masseur. You will know if he will be going that direction.... and if he obvious does sensual or erotic then yes... that extra stress relief is coming 4/5 time

[justaguy]

I really like your approach. A good massage is one of life's great luxuries. If, as you say, their a bonus that comes with the luxury, so much the better, but I think it will be less frustrating to focus on getting a good massage. Thanks.
