This page is for some of the massages and massage instructions that I have around the world.
THAI MASSAGE
PATTAYA AND BANGKOK
DECEMBER 2016
The heading " Thai massage" is a bit misleading as I had a massage in Thailand and not a traditional Thai massage
Walk down most streets in Pattaya and Bangkok and you will hear a high pitched voice saying " massarrrrrge" every ten seconds. When you walk past a massage parlour a young lady will look at you ( but on occasion not even raise their head) and offer you "massarrrrrge" and you will politely respond "no thank you" but then one of her fellow workers (some times sitting next to her) will all so offer you a "massarrrrrge" even though you have already refused one. Walk a few steps further to the next parlour ( sometime immediately next door ) and the same will happen even though they have just seen/heard you refuse the previous offers. You will get used to it. Some people can walk by and not respond but I felt impolite not to say a quick "no thank you.
You will have plenty of choice of which establishment you wish to indulge yourself in as there are massage parlours all over the place , sometimes up to twenty in one street so take your time and have a good look around to see which one you like the look of. I spent a total of eight days in Thailand and I had a massage everyday . Each day I went to a different place but found them all more or less to be the same. A good proportion of the time people (men !!!!!) will go for an hours rub and tug . It is easy to spot which parlours offer this service (and more) ..........all of then. Well maybe not all but most of then. To be sure (if that is what you want) then go for the parlours which have the ladies in short skirts or wearing shorts etc and not the women in traditional Thai attire. The prices ranged from 200 balt to 350 balt. (£4.50/ 5 euro/ $6 - £8/ 9 euro/ $10.7) per hour for an oil massage. (Swedish massage) The prices can differ even in the same street and tend to get cheaper further from the town centre you go.( this can be just one or two streets away ) Of course you can pay more if you use a hotel and resort masseurs. Just in case you are wondering, it tends to be easy to spot a ladyboy so don't worry. (unless that is what you desire) They also tend to be a little bit more pushy for your custom. If in doubt just move on to the next parlour.
When you have made your choice on which establishment you wish to frequent just approach it and you will most likely be greeted by the girls sitting outside. If there is a particular lady you like the look of just gaze in her direction and say "oil massage please" If there are a number of girls sitting outside hang back and have a look and made your choice in your own time and with no hassle. If the price was 300 or 350 balt per hour I would offer 500 and 600 respectively for 2 hours and they always agreed with no quibble. Sometimes its advertised as cheaper for two hours. They say if you want to be sure that you get a good massage always go for the older and not as good looking women as they have to "try" harder. I tried go for someone who was at the very least in their late twenties. The only bad massage I had (in fact I wouldn't even call it a massage) was when I left it to the owner/manageress to choose and was given young attractive lady about 18 to 20 ish. ( but I did have some other masseuse in their early twenties that were perfectly fine.) You will be led in to a backroom where there will a row of mats on the floor. They will draw the curtain around the three sides of your mat ( similar to a hospital cubical ) and they will leave you to undress. I felt safe each place I visited but you do sometimes hear ( scare) stories about your stuff going missing but these are few and far between if you stay in in the main areas of town. All I did was put all my clothes in my bag or in a neat pile against the wall where my head would be so I could keep an eye on them. Once again I will state that I had no concerns or issues. There will be air conditioning and usually a fan but on most occasions I found it to be too cold to the extent it spoilt the massage. Next time I will ask to turn them down instead of enduring it. The masseuse will return and the massage can begin. ( The masseuse will stay dressed) If not already the masseuse will asked you to lie on my front with your arms stretched out above your head not by your side like a western Swedish massage. Each masseuse will have different techniques and some will be better than others but apart from one, all massages were pretty decent. As the massage progresses you will start to relax and she may or may not engage you in conversation. You can of course talk to her but as I was a little deaf at the time the conversation was some what sparse due to the fact I could not hear her half the time.
As the massage progresses they will eventually get to the tops of your legs. At this point they usually start getting a bit more intimate. They will proceed to take the massage strokes very high (and other techniques) in a subtle way to get you aroused. Although I was only here for a massage I would have accepted (and enjoyed) this procedure as part of the massage. Surprisingly this did not happen , or the very little that did occur could be put down to the occasional contact in a massage. You are then ask to turn over. As the massage progresses on your front once again the massage may take a more sensual turn. Sliding up your leg to your stomach brushing their hands against your penis to try and provoke a response from it.
Once again I would have allowed this to continue as all said and done this is a nice sensation but again this did not happen to any major degree to me. Only once did I get a direct " do you want a hand job" hand gesture and that was from a masseuse that took over for 5 minutes from the " bad massage " I had and I simply shook my hand and mouthed " no thank you" and it was not mentioned again. I think I may have had 1 or 2 more "hints" asking would I like a little more but I think I misread what they were asking. Although the parlours I visited did do the "extras" my thinking is that because I had asked for 2 hours instead of the usual 1 hour it may have indicated that I was after a massage and not a rub and tug. I also did not make any response ( any approving noise or opening my legs a little wider etc ) to any intimate massage strokes and when I turned over I was not the slightest erect . Once again during the massage on my front I did not respond to intimate massage, start to get an erection or indicate or guide the massage in that direction. I think if I was there for a "good time" my body language would made it clear what I wanted............... or am I that ugly !!!!!!!
Most of the masseuse offered me a head massage which I did not really want but I accepted as I knew they were struggling to fill the two hours as the normal massage time is an hour but some of the head massages were OK. It ended up that most massage only lasted 90 to 100 minutes but I did not say any thing as I just could not be bothered , plus I enjoyed them and they were only cheap. Next time though, I will ask to have 2 one hour massages together to make up the two hours.
I would always give the girl 1000 balt .(£23, $30, 26 euro) That is for cost of the massage and a tip, as the masseuse make their money from the "extras" that they provide and the tip I gave was about the same as the price of a hand job.
One of the things I regret not doing is having a four hand massage . ( 2 masseuses at the same time) I will rectify this on my next visit to Thailand.
I thoroughly recommend a massage in Thailand, if its a foot massage at the front of the shop or a nude oil massage in the back you will enjoy it and at that price you can not go wrong . If you do opt for some extras, treat the girls with some respect as they do have to put up with YOU. The Thai people are in the main a polite and friendly people.
One day massage workshop
For as long as I can remember I have wanted to have a massage. I knew it would be the sort of thing I would thoroughly enjoy, along with sauna's, Jacuzzi's etc. The whole spa scene . Due to being lethargic on the matter and having to be 100% sure on the etiquette I never got around to it. I have to have the information written down in plain simple English to take any action. For example :- Not " you can wear as much or as little as you are comfortable with during your massage." No, no, no far too vague. It would have to be " you will be completely naked " " you will leave your under wear on" or " you will wear a woolly hat, scarf, gloves and a coat" during your massage. I don't care which one it is as long as I know. I could ask when I arrived for my massage but this is me I am talking about, Talk to a real life person that I have not know for at least half my life, not a chance. When I started going to nude resorts and events I would come across naturist massage's being advertised whilst trawling the internet for nude accommodation . A naturist massage ( a term that I don't like, it's a naked/ nude massage but I won't quibble about semantics.) would alleviate all my reservations. I would be naked full stop, also it has the advantage of my underwear not being on show. I don't like my small being on display, I don't even walk around my own house in my underwear and whilst the rest of the washing is hung on the washing line outside, drying my unmentionables is strictly an indoor activity. I went about the process of finding a suitable masseuse that would give a proper massage at the right price and did not wear stocking and suspenders and finished you off with a happy ending what ever that is. It must mean you don't have to pay at the end, that would make me happy. I came across a masseur in Doncaster that had organised two consecutive weekends of one day workshops. It was not the full massage that I wanted but still it appealed to me and it was a very reasonable price. I often do "have a go" days/ workshops just for the experience even if I'm not interested in the subject. It could have just as easily have been a pottery or falconry taster day if I had stumbled across their advertisement instead. I contacted Simon (the organiser and one of the masseurs ) and booked for the last Sunday and paid up in full. That's that, no going back now that the tight arse has handed money over.
I had enough nude resorts and naked events experience by this time for the erection issue never to raised it's ugly head. ( pun intended.) But this was a little different. In this case there would be bodily contact, I would be sliding my hands over a women's oiled body......... hold that thought....just a bit longer......bit more......O.K. lets carry on. The subject did cross my mind but it soon passed and I did not have any more thoughts about the issue. In passing I mentioned the erection situation to Simon and his reply was a nonchalance " if you get an erection, you get an erection." I did think what would I would do if I did occur, not out of concern but in a inquisitive "what if" way. I came to the conclusion that I was in a tactile, sensory , body accepting environment with experienced adults that had spent many year around the "spa culture" and had most likely seen it all before and they probably wouldn't even raise an eyebrow . So if it did happen ( it most likely would not full on anyway ) I think I would just get on with it............. or possibly run out screaming with embarrassment never to be seen again. As it turned out nothing happen. Not A thing , even despite naked women, hands and oil. Not even a little tingling down there let alone any movement. It didn't even cross my mind.
The day arrived and I set off on the journey to Doncaster. I arrived at Simon's house and I was invited in. Simon, Carol (Simon's wife) and I chatted for a while as we waited for the others to arrive. There was a knock at the door and another one of the participants entered. I recognised David from other nude events we had both attended. Annette the second masseuse arrived making the final piece of the jig saw. Two other people, a mother and daughter should have joined us but they phoned to cancel. A financial blow for Simon but It meant more hands on time for myself and David. Annette, originally from Germany sat with me and and asked me the obligatory questions you should be asked when partaking in any massage treatments such as , Have I any allergies , back pain, high blood pressure, are you pregnant ( I wasn't) etc. Whilst David had his questionnaire Simon and I walked down the back garden to his massage studio. ( parlour does not seem the correct noun in this case.) The studio was a quality garage conversion which included a sauna and shower. We stripped off and spent a few minutes in the sauna until David and Annette entered the "garage." After David and Annette had put on their naturist massage "uniforms" the tuition could commence. There was plenty of room for the four of us and a single massage table but if the other two had turned up ( I think the plan was for two massage tables ) it may have been a little cosy but still feasible. It commenced with David and I in turn having a short massage performed on ourselves. My turn ! I lay on my front and Annette got to work. As soon as her hands made contact with my body I knew that I loved massages and equally as quick it became obvious that Annette knew exactly what she was doing. Contrast to what would be my usual demeanour would be when I was in a close contact situation with a stranger I found that I was totally relaxed which may have contributed to my puzzlement when the focus of the massage was directed to my legs. There was a sensation that for a few seconds I was unable to comprehend. Annette hands seemed to be covering more area than humanly possible even for her expertise. I soon realised that Simon had joined in and was working on my other leg, a four hands massage........."hold on.....there a man touching me aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh. what do I do, ...........wait a minute this isn't too bad." In fact I ended up not phased at all. I was still enjoying the massage despite this new information. I must admit I was very surprised at this revelation. I have never been a touchy -feely person even with women ( apart from intimate relationships and then I can't keep my hands off) I don't even like brushing against people on the seat of a bus or plane. There has to be a gap between us. All too soon the massage was over. I only had the parts done that were exposed whist face down. It would have been nice to have turned over and had the remainder of my body massaged but It was only a quick demonstration and I was here to be taught how to massage not have a massage.
Now down to business. Annette lay on the table and Simon proceeded to demonstrate some massage strokes. He kept it down to 3 "moves" in order keep it simple. That was more than enough for amateurs like ourselves to complete a basic massage. Myself and David would then try to duplicate what we had just witness. When it came to areas like the back, David and I would take turns in practising the techniques but as luck would have it Annette was equipped with two arms and two legs so we both got one each. With this being a nude massage the bottom was included in the procedure . I had expected this but it still felt a little unusual to be touching that area of someone I barely know. After completing a full circuit of Annette's body whist she lay on her front Simon swapped positions and lay on the massage table on his back. I had assumed that the trainees would take turns massaging each other as the professionals guided us but as we had two no shows it was down to Simon and Annette to be the models. Simon had stated that it was a mixed group so I was had expected to practice on both male and female. So there was I, confronted by a naked bloke waiting to be oiled up. I must admit not my favourite situation to be in especially as we men have hairy legs. It ended up not being as horrifying as I had expected. It actually turned out to be perfectly fine. I am not saying I enjoyed the experience but I didn't mind doing it once I had started. As I got into it and began concentrating on what I was doing I completely forgot that I was working on a hairy bloke with his todger staring at me. we proceeded as before but now with Annette as the instructor. After a while we broke for lunch, got dressed and walked to the house.
The four of us returned to the studio and striped off. A few second later we were joined by Carol as she was going to be our victim for the afternoon as David and I attempted to complete a full massage on our own. Simon and Annette would stand in the background ready to assist if needed. Carol whipped her clothes off and joined us in our nakedness. She lay face down on the table. Let the show begin !
Every thing seem to go fine. I more or less remembered all that I had been shown. I had little intervention from Simon so that would indicate I was performing adequately. I Completed the back and shoulders and then glided over Carol's bottom down to her legs. Once again it felt a little strange to touch an intimate area but I was now slightly more accustomed to such procedures. Up and down Carols calf a few times and then I started to her thigh and her inner thigh. At this point Simon intervened as I was being a little too cautious on how far I progressed up the inner part of Carol's thigh for obvious reason. It was only a few centimetres but it made a difference. With nude massages I think there is a little more acceptance than a conventional massage because people will be more body positive and open. It still has it's limits of course. Now that I had "permission " I went the extra mile and it removed any hesitancy that I might have had concerning the rest of the massage. David on the other hand was clearly very nervous about preforming a massage on Carol. On occasions I could see his hands shaking. 1 or 2 times Annette took control of his hands and guided him to be more assertive, adventurous and firm. I do understand what he was going through, only a few years earlier and that would have been me. Luckily I come to the workshop with a pragmatic state of mind. After a short while David relaxed and got into his stride and every thing flowed along smoothly. At some point in the proceedings Annette rubbed some oil on my back and shoulders. What an absolute fabulous sensation it was, heightened by the fact I was completely taken by surprise. I had been concentrating so intensely on preforming the massage I had not realise Annette was positioned behind me. It took me a few second to figure out what was going on. The feeling of the preheated oil being spread all over my back, although only brief was so intense that it is probably the single most memorable part of a memorable day. I only wish that she had continued for a bit longer , maybe for 3 or 4 hours !
I moved to the head of the table so I could work on Carol's chest area. I had been wondering what was the etiquette for the breasts would be. Simon explained that although the breast can be part of the massage it usually occurs after a few repeat visits when the masseur and client had built up a rapport so today I would be circumnavigating Carols boobs. That was a little disappointing, not because I couldn't get my hands on them, ( I am a man after all ) but because I would not be able to experience a complete free flowing massage. I would instead have to concentrate a little harder so not to trespass. As Carol was lying down, like most women her breasts flattened and spread out which made it more difficult to define the boundaries. I proceeded to circle around the aforementioned area. On each revolution I would decrease the circumference until I got what I thought was the limit. Even though this was an intimate part of the body I was now totally relax on working on such areas. I am sure ( hoped ) if I had accidentally strayed a little to far Carol would have been fine with it as she is a veteran of receiving massages.
All too soon the massage was over. I am going to say that we did a decent job for first time amatures. Carol expressed to us that she had enjoyed herself . I certainly did. Carol got dressed and went back to the house. David and I were offered a half price 4 hands massage. David declines because he had a long drive back home and I declined as I had not brought any spare cash with me as I did not expect any extras. (No ! not those extras, keep your mind out of the gutter.) Simon invited me to stay so I could observe Annette giving him a massage. I accepted and as I had already got dressed I decided to stripped off again as I always try to take advantage of the any of the limited social nudity opportunity's I get. Annette got to work, sliding all over the place at pace. Using her hands, forearms, elbow and more, most of which I have seen used before. Then she got her leg over, literally. Usually a leg massage is a massage of the leg. In this instance it was massaging with the leg. Where does she get these moves from........... the kamasutra ? I half expected Annette to pick up a chair and next door's cat and start massaging Simon with those items. I will have to get myself one of those massages someday.
This had been one of the most enjoyable experiences I have ever had. With hind sight I would have attended the Saturday workshop as well. As I did not know what to expect and I had to concentrate intensely on preforming the massage I did not fully experience the tactile and sensory sensation of giving a massage so I would have liked to do another session sometime in the future but unfortunately Simon is not intending to do anymore "open" work shops although he does do workshops for individual couples. Don't get me wrong I still got the "feel" of a massage and it was a fabulous experience.
I have attended other "taster weekends" at massage schools with the intention of completing a full course but they obviously teach the a conventional massage where you keep your underwear on and use towels for modesty. Although they are still very enjoyable as any massage will be they can feel very sterile in comparison to a nude massage. You will feel very much more at ease when giving or receiving a nude massage.
If you have never had a nude massage. Get one. You don't know what you are missing.
​
Vietnam massage and Thai 4 handed massage.
On a visit to Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam I decided to indulge in a massage or 2. As in Thailand they are cheap, you are fully nude and the majority have " happy ending " available, even the ones in or attached to decent hotels or spa. There are plenty of establishments to choose from and it will only take you two minutes to come across one from your hotel if you are in the city centre. Unlike the Thai parlours they use proper massage tables instead of massage mattresses. The massage differ to most Thai oil massage in the fact that they use their legs and forearms more to massage you which is absolutely fabulous. Every massage I had was of a high standard and very enjoyable. My first massage was a two hour affair and she tried to get me to have a one hour 4 handed massage but I declined as I had planed that new experience for Thailand. She tried everything to fill the time, I even got a unexpected hot stone massage which was very nice and something I would probably never have ask for. It was after this massage that I decided it is better to have an hour rather than my usual 2 hour massage as they struggle to fill the time with quality "moves" and it ends up being only about an hour and forty minutes anyway. ( as this one was ) An hour massage is more intense than the two hour option as unlike what I hope for, an hour massage stretched out over two hours, I tended to get an hour massage then some light wait move thrown in to pad out the time.
My theory that sometime they don't get a little bit intimate with the massage as a build up to the offer of a happy ending went out the window as I got the same occurrence with the hour massage. Read my " Thai massage" account to understand what I mean.
On most occasions when I turned over on to my back or after they had finished one leg they would give my willy a little poke so I would open my eyes and they would give the " hand job " motion at which time I would politely decline the offer. Some would just carry on with the massage, other would try to persuade me and I would have to go though the rigmarole of repeatedly declining and answering their questions, " no I am not married, no I'm not gay " and so on. As most unaccompanied men go there for the extras, therefore paying a tip ( the house get the cost of the massage the masseuse make their money from the tips.) I could relieve the situation by informing them I intend to tip them anyway. This is the only part that can spoil the massage. I should really get that sorted out before hand but I never do. If you go to a standard parlour where you keep your underwear on or they are too precise with the towels you would not get this situation but I find that sort of massage too sterile and nowhere near as relaxing or enjoyable. Don't let this put you off as the toing and froing only last a minute or less especially if you let them know you are tipping them anyway.
I ended up having a massage every night ( 4 in total ) and all of the three place I frequented were of a decent standard, clean and well kitted out. I felt safe in all of them.
​
I arrived in Phuket ( Thailand ) and it was the same as Pattaya and Bangkok when it came to getting a massage. ( see Thai massage )
I went for my first massage, which was very good until I declined the offer of the extras at which point she went on about why I didn't want the expanded massage. " are you married", " are you gay" etc. She wasn't trying to give me the hard sell , just curious why I refused the offer when single guy like myself go to such places for that specific reason. I just like to lie there in peace and quiet to enjoy the massage. The next day I tried a different place just down the road from the first. Usually I double the price of the massage for the tip but I chose this place because it was a little cheaper than the rest so for the same outlay the girl received a bigger tip which I prefer .
Jackpot !!!!! A fabulous massage, a very attractive young lady ( not essential but a bonus ) no offer of extras ( even though it was one of those places ) and virtually no conversation between us apart from the odd " are you ok. " At last I could just lie there and enjoy the whole hour from start to finish in peace with no pushy selling midway through. To be fair some masseuses do just carry on without a fuss when I decline their offer. Although I tend to go to different establishments for each massage I decided to go back there for my planned first 4 handed massage. I had regretted not partaking in one on my last trip to Thailand.
I striped off and lay face down and waited for the first lady to return with her accomplice. They arrived and closed the curtain behind them. I have read on other accounts of similar massages that the ladies sometimes take turns performing the massage, which is not a 4 handed massage at all just a normal massage with alternate women. This was not the case in this instant as one of the ladies started on my back and arms and the other work on legs. As so much of my body was being worked on all at once no towel or covering was used which I prefer. As each of them only had to cover 50% of my body this was in effect a condensed 2 hour massage. They executed the massage as I had always hope a 2 hour massages would be performed ( but never got ). Mainly, spending twice as long on the same part of my body as a one hour massage. I would always end up with an one hour massage with bits added on to pad out the time and it being 20 minute shy of 2 hours. I just adore having my legs massaged and I am in heaven when my back is being seduced by slow gliding movements so imagine the bliss as they are both being attended to simultaneously. I turn over and the massage continued. Again one attended to my legs whilst the other worked on a different part of me, a head massage. The lady working on my legs move to my side so she was in a better position to reach my thigh area. After a short period and without warning she proceeded to make my massage " happy ." Usually they give you a little hand gesture or a prod to ascertain if that is what you are after ( and then the negotiations ) but on this occasion it was straight in even though my wand wasn't indicating it was enjoying the massage. A quick wave of the hand to signal that was not what I desired from this massage and she stop with no fuss and no hard sell for extras. I must confess that there was a second or 2 ( maybe 3 ) delay before the rejection of her services, after all it was a pleasant feeling and I am a man and that's where we keep are brains. On the final part of the massage they took an arm and shoulder each. This is how ( I think ) would have preferred the massage to be undertaken. Each of them taking a one side of me and working on the corresponding limb or part of my body at the same time. I could have asked for it to be done this way ( and next time I will ) but with this being my first 4 handed massage I was happy to let things transpire naturally.
Too soon the massage was over. I got dressed and paid for the massage. I tipped the young ladies, about the same as if I had a massage with extras as this is how they make their living. I left the air conditioned salon and entered the hot, humid afternoon Thai sun. I walk back to my hotel for a shower. Even though I was not sticky or greasy from the massage oil I did not want to baste myself as I walked around Phuket. You can of course always have a shower at the salon.
The only thing I can say is get a 4 handed massage. Get a 4 handed massage.
Get a 4 handed massage. Get a 4 handed massage. Get a 4 handed massage. Get a 4 handed massage. Get a 4 handed massage. Get a 4 handed massage. Get a 4 handed massage...…….Got it ?

GLENDA MASSAGE
@ FINCA JOHANNA - SPAIN
JUNE 2019
Glenda is a young lady originally from Venezuela. During the week she works in Malaga offering conventional massages. On Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays she offers naturist massages at the naturist guest house Finca Johanna just outside Malaga. She works from one of the second floor bedrooms in the guest house. The room is clean and is decorated to a high standard with views of the ocean. As you enter the room you will be met with soft music and the arromer of scented candles. The centre of the room is where you will find the professional massage table. As you will staying at the naturist guest you will be already naked so there will no need to prepare, just pop yourself on the table. Glenda is a naturist herself so will perform the massage naked apart from a short sarong type garment around her waist that she wears to be more professional. You can of course discuss how you prefer your massage to be executed but on my first massage with "new" masseuse I generally let them get on with it their way. I found Glenda's style to be very intricate using soft to medium pressure. It was obvious that she is very experienced and she knows her way around a body. With very smooth gliding strokes and precise movements I became relaxed instantly. The oil she uses is heated which has the effect of enhancing the relaxation. There is not much more I can say about the massage itself as it's one of those event that you have to experience for yourself. I can say of all the massages I have received it is at the top end of the scale on every criteria. Eventually all good thing come to end. Glenda will leave you to R.I.P. for a short time and then I usually say it's time to get dressed but on this occasion there is no need as you a resident at a nude resort. I neglected to ask what kind of oil Glenda used so it may be wise to take a shower as you do not want to get basted in the hot Spanish sun whilst nude. ( also no oil in the swimming pool, jacuzzi or bed sheets etc.)
Glenda performs a professional massage service and speaks Spanish and English.
After the massage Glenda ceases to be a masseuse and become a naturist and blends in the rest of the guests.
Glenda is very comfortable with her own body and the bodies of other. She acts in a very professional manner and states that performing massages are her passion not just a job.
A massage at Finca Johanna is a must. I enjoyed it so much I had a second massage at the end of the week, driving some distance to achieve the desired pleasure. I intend to go back to Finca Johanna but the dates will be conditional on Glenda being available.

BEACH MASSAGE
JUNE 2019
One of the things I treat myself to on a "sun" holiday is a massage. If It is a beach massage, nude or other wise all the better. I had already had an unplanned massage at Finca Johanna where a naturist masseuse resides at weekends ( see Glenda massage ) but now I was staying at Casta Natura. 30 minutes east of the resort or 40 minutes west of Malaga is a nude beach "Playa de Cabopino" where I knew I would be able to get a beach massage.
I arrived at the beach around 10am and immediately spotted and was approached by your stereotypical little mature chinese looking woman in a big hat. She asked if I would like a massage which I replied " I'll have one later thank you." I found my spot on the beach and settled down. Over the next hour or so I took a couple of strolls along the beach, each time I would see the aforementioned masseuse performing a massage. Herself and the other 3 or 4 masseuses on the beach must do good daily business. I saw her do at least 5 massages and is was mid week, not in high season and the beach was not that busy. The wind started to pick up and I was constantly having to hold down my beach umbrella and having sand blown into my face. It got to the point where I would have to leave and forsake my massage. As luck would have it as I started to pack up, the couple behind me whom like many others had retreated to the fringes of the dune to escape the wind were also packing up to leave. As soon as they vacated their position I dived in and took up residence. The dunes were an undulating landscape of craters, ridges and bushes that provided shelter from the windy conditions. My crater had the added advantage of being a meter or so lower than the equivalent position on the windware side so therefore giving me almost total wind protection. The disadvantage being I was now unable to see anything. Sometime later I took another stroll along the beach. On my return I saw "my" masseuse giving the male half of the couple next to me a massage. She looked at me and I gave her a nod to indicate " me next."
Some time later she came over and knelt down beside me. She ask me to take down my beach umbrella as it would get in the way. I had a choice of 30 minutes or an hour. I would have chosen the latter but for the fact that I would have basted like a chicken with the combination of the massage oil and a blazing sun . She proceeded to wipe me down with a cloth to remove any sand . The oil she used was not tacky so I assume it was water based. She applied just enough to do the job but not too much to make me greasy . The massage commenced. She worked at a furious pace but it did not feel at all rushed, just thorough. I have previously had two other beach massage ( one nude, one not ) where it was a gazebo and massage table set up. They were 25-30 minute massages which would consist of your legs and back being the only parts tended to. I was expecting the same this time but was surprised when she asked me to turn over and proceeded to massage me again. Every part of me was massaged, I even got a head massage. When I say every part of me was massaged I misspoke. There was one tiny weeny underused part of me that didn't get a look in, have a guess. The massage seemed to be going on a bit too long. It got to the point where I thought she was giving me an hour long massage. Should I say something? She was going at twice the pace as a conventional salon based massage but even so. As I didn't feel I was burning in the sun I let it ride. After it was all over she only charged me for a 30 minute massage but to this day I still believe it was a longer massage, not an hour but greater than the half hour. This was an excellent massage. Firm, precise and expertly executed. If I had more time I would gone back on numerous days. Next time I find myself on that beach I think I will indulge in a 4 handed massage. There is something about a massage on a beach that gives it an "edge" so if you able to receive a beach massage, get one.
