A friend of mine is a trained masseuse and he put an ad in local paper saying that he was available to give a particular form of Chinese massage. He was driven crazy by the number of people (all men!) phoning to ask if he "did extras".
I trained as a reflexologist, and my colleagues in the UK have had to reconsider how and where they advertise (esp. in yellow/golden pages), because of the strange requests they received!
That is weird DeeFox - a friend of mine mentioned to me that he used to use a particular masseuse in the past cos she 'finished him off at the end' - this was in a reputable massage place.
I always thought it was just him bragging - but now that Ive read your post - perhaps some DO offer 'extras'?
Did you say 'enjoyment' General? I must be missing something. On the half a dozen occasions that I've had massage (injuries) I've finishd up really sore. Now, the injuries did get better ........ but I wonder (if I'd not been massaged) the time difference in the cure.They make the connection because for many years they were taught that all forms of enjoyment are sinful.
My definition of a reputable massage place (as mentioned in an earlier post) was not a massage parlour, it was actually a very well known leisure centre, a place where they have tennis courts, snooker tables, football pitches, golf, pitch and putt, badminton, squash, plus bars and food available. Its also a family location as there are a lot of kids activities organised there.
Wasn't suggesting that it was a massage parlour but its clearly not reputable given what was on offer eh? But I see your point...Maybe the guy was all talk??
Recently bought one of those massage tables on internet (€200), did so because I would on occasion give herself a massage but in the absence of a table I'd end banjaxed after it (leaning at strange angles, sitting with ankles under me etc. - I wouldnt be the most dexterous !!). Anyway, I mentioned this to a couple of lunch buddies (who know v. well, mixed gender bunch, always some craic) and of course I expected there'd be a bit of slagging. What surprised me though was just how strong a connection they were making between massage and sex. If I said I'd bought an S&M dungeon (which I dont have) they couldnt have been any more aghast.
Totally sleazy was their view. ....
So do Irish people generally have this view? ...
