Hi Bushseeker, I like your thread topic, however I have a sneaky suspicion that you might be a full service man, and I think generally, men either are, or they aren't. A lot of the gents we see a PT don't want full service. They all have their own individual circumstances and reasons for coming in, but I'd say one thing they have in common is the desire to relax and be looked after for a while without any pressure.
I haven't worked anywhere else in the industry other than at PT, so I'm certainly not in a position to compare intimate massage with full service, nor am I going to attempt to (consider that a disclaimer in case you think my opinion is wrong
)
I feel that there aren't many situations in life where its ok to just lie there, relax an receive. In sexual situations there is almost always an aspect of giving and receiving. Also I don't feel it's terribly common to become aroused in a totally relaxed state. Often it can be energetic, and sometimes unfortunately there can be an aspect of "racing to the finish line".
What I love is how giving and caring massage is. The client gets to lie there and have their whole body pampered. They don't have to do a thing. As they become aroused they often do want to be involved in the giving aspect, because we are so programmed to do so. I'll be the first to admit that I find it really hard to just receive, so I understand how it feels, but even the best of givers need to be looked after sometimes. I think a lot of men feel a significant part of their sexual prowess is tied up in how well they can pleasure a woman. This is great for women! But it doesn't help men accept the vulnerability of laying there, not being allowed to give, and having to just relax. Those who manage it are often transported to a deliciously heightened state and I love it!
I enjoy the intimacy without having to worry about the sex part. There's no particular pressure to perform in any way, as the massage is about a whole body experience. Ooh, and I nearly forgot to mention the thrill of the tease! That's a really important aspect to me.
I get that what we do at PT is a bit different from other rnt places, so I apologise if this is in no way of any help. I just figured I might be able to contribute in the absence of many replies.
