Gentlemen, why is it better to go to an independent masseuse than a massage clinic or parlour if you want a real massage of quality?
And their clinical atmosphere doesn't exactly induce relaxation, which is the whole point of going for a massage! After all, think about it: would you rather have a massage somewhere private, quiet, cozy? Or somewhere where you can hear ringing phones and voices of people in a waiting room behind the thin walls of a treatment room? An independent masseuse offers an environment in which you can truly relax, because it's private, quiet, and far homier and cozier than any parlour or clinic will ever be. The clinical element is not there. And that will make a big difference to your relaxation.
Massage clinics and parlours operate opening hours which you have to suit. Independent masseuses often operate hours to suit you! That makes a big difference. And yes, weekends, and sometimes even holidays are possible too.
You'll always have to make the journey to a massage clinic or parlour. And another journey away from it after the massage. Contrastingly, an independent masseuse can come to your home or a location of your choice. This has advantages. One is in saving time, money, and energy on your journeys to and from the massage. Another is that you will be able to stay where you are and relax after the massage. You can just lie there and enjoy feeling like a newborn. You don't have to gather your strength to travel anywhere. After all, what's the point in having a massage that's supposed to relax you if you have sitting in traffic home at the back of your mind even before the massage begins?
Massage at a clinic or parlour will be immensely automatic because the masseuses at clinics massage bodies daily for months or years. But I very much doubt that an independent masseuse will have the same approach. The independent masseuse competes with the clinics and parlours. She will therefore most likely do her utmost to give you a massage like none other. She will want you back, and also probably won't be motivated entirely by money if she operates independently despite the huge competition from clinics and parlours where there can be several masseuses in one place. If the independent masseuse isn't motivated by money as much , the advantage to you is that she won't administer the massage in that terribly automatic and rushed manner. She will make it as enjoyable for you as possible.
A masseuse at a clinic or parlour will have only a few essential oil blends at hand. Firstly due to minimising costs and maximising profits. Secondly due to the fact that the oils have a shelf life. The more oils, the more shelf life there is to watch. An independent masseuse will have a large kit of oils from which she'll make a fresh blend according to the condition she is to treat - even if the condition is simply to relax and enjoy yourself. And independent masseuse will find watching the shelf life of oils easier than staff at clinics where there can be several masseuses.
If you like to combine a good therapeutic massage with sextras, a masseuse at a clinic or bona fide massage parlour [not brothel in disguise] will definitely not give them to you. That's because she'll be scared that you'll spread the word and the reputation of the clinic - if not her job - will suffer.
But I'm positive that many an independent masseuse will happily oblige, even if for extra money. After all, if you can't get sextras for free, better get them for more money than not at all if you want them so much. Since the independent masseuse will want you back, she'll do a lot more than the clinic masseuse to tailor your experience to your utmost satisfaction. But many charge extra for sextras because they're solo and don't get the salaries and the support of the institutional earning power that masseuses in clinics and parlours get. Thus independent masseuses naturally take every opportunity to get more money out of you. That's a fact of living in the world of today.
Beware of this phenomenon! Many men succumb to the tendency to treat independent masseuses as prostitutes as they think that exactly because independent masseuses do whatever they can to earn money, the masseuses will give them sexual services instead of massage or massage for less money. Please respect the status of the independent masseuse and do not haggle the price with her. A masseuse is a masseuse whether she works at an institution or for herself. The skill is the same - massage therapy. Show respect and life will reward you. If you want sex, go to a place where they sell it.
Why would I be writing about this if I hadn't been an independent masseuse for two decades? Would you like to put the points I listed here to the test? Would you like to experience how real independent massage should be done? Let's start a conversation.
