I prefer the table to be able to easily access my massage partners full body and him to touch me while I massage. But, if a bed is the available option I’m great with that as well. The bed does allow easier availability to full body contact.

Wherever however whenever wherever is good for me

I will only do on a table as tried a bed 2 times and did not enjoy it. When on a bed the guy seems to crowd you so I did not enjoy as much.

Best for spine support

anywhere that is comfortable is fine

Anything that’s comfortable

just more comfortable to stand and massage folk on. zero back pain.

For me it’s more comfortable and I feel the therapist can do their best work with ease.

Table for therapeutic. Bed is good for sensual.

I like to give massage since I was a kid to my friends and family then I went to school to learn the techniques and since then I start working as a professional. I only like to exchange with females only. I don’t like men give me massage my body don’t enjoy at all.

Table works the best but a good hard bed can be a good alternative.

Masage table much easier to work on.

or a hard bed. Soft bed sags too much.

A table is easier to work on and around. It's also easier on the back since you don't have to bend over as much as a bed or floor.

Table is perfect but bed, futon or mat with pillows all good.

Easier on the back. A floor mat would be an equal choice

I like body 2 body so a bed or floor mat works great.

A firm base, and easiest agreed stradling capability....And as comfortably natural appropriately_

I have a comfortable electric table that allows for different heights of therapist, save your back from bending over or reaching up too high

Those of us with back and/or knee problems can still give massages.

For a better overall massage.

whether giving or receiving, a massage table is the best.

Table is definitely the easiest. It sits higher than a bed and is easier on your knees than the floor. - NudieInOH

I prefer the table much more sturdier

Or Bed

All the above

I prefer a table. Better for my body in giving. I can move around easily to work on any part of a persons body, and alot of room to stretch.

Table offers the support of the person and is easier for the person giving the massage. Allows the room needed to maneuver around the body

More convenient

anywhere is fine, except maybe the chair.

Receiving is good on any surface. However if I'm giving I prefer a table where I can work standing up.

More hard the surface better the outcome.

If I'm giving a massage, doing it properly is too hard to do in a bed or a futon. A floor mat is okay if I'm doing Eastern modalities, but As a professional I still need to prevent injuries

Bed so body’s can touch especially if both are nude

I like the table. For folks who like the floor for more pressure, More pressure can be applied to the glutes and back by doing a table mount, crawling up the end of the table. Table is much better for long term support of the back and much easier on the wrists.

Easier for full body contact

Massage table

Better to work all the way around the body with

Table, for good hard solid ability to work.

Massage table is best for both client and therapist.. you have the means to address the person without causing undue strain and bad body postures. Massage chair is great for portability and immediate addressing of upper back, neck, shoulders, arms, hands, neck and head. But its poor for getting to the legs and feet as well as lower back. -- Bed is OK but a therapist will definitely feel the impact. Floor mat is OK for Thai massage but not the others as you cause intense strain to your back, neck and hands.

Bed or table or floor mat

...but anything available is fine, or can be creative!

Foot of bed is second choice

A strong stable massage table is preferable as gives masseur full access at a comfortable height avoiding problem of trying to reach over a bedside etc and the oils can be set nearby. Ideally the table is padded with a head rest with face hole so subject has head supported but can breathe easily while face down. A bed or floormat can be used and may be easier for body to body sensous massage. However I am completely at ease to use what ever my host has available and their preference as long as the room is warm before I take my clothes off :-)

Love all options...but the bed. So I can spread my legs properly and be properly massaged

I prefer a bed. So, I can move around on my client, more skin to skin

A good massage table is best. It allows for giving a good massage at various pressure and also allows for easy access for many things. If a table is not available a bed works as well.

But I don’t have a table.

Table is best but bed is ok too.

Chair or floor mat also work

A table is best but if not available a bed will do. For me the floor is too awkward and you end up with poor posture if giving a massage and then need a decent massage yourself!

Happy to use any location for massage that is available.

With my knees and neck issues, definitely a table.

I prefer a table but I am always happy to go with whatever the host has available.

I’m good with everything :)

It really depends on the set up and the persons comfort levels.. on the floor and being on top can apply more pressure and can be an amazing experience being in this position and working your skills.. but can be too intimate especially for a first meet.

Massage table with the right accessories allows for all areas of the body to be easily accessed and gives total fluidity to the masseur so the rhythm isn’t broken and the subject is completely at ease .. I would always go with the flow as all have their merits.. the ideal with a regular subject is to change the setup to add new ideas and be creative

Unfortunately the only way I can give a quality massage is when using a table and it must be set high. It does not really matter when receiving because my lumbar is accessable from any of the above mentioned items.

I prefer being on a massage table but i am not picky.

The table is the easiest way to reach all needed areas.

table is easiest for me to give

Much better access using table. Easier on back too.

I like working on the floor. Better for using my whole body weight for the massage! Hehe

Table as it's access 360, the correct height.

If the table is the right height, it's much easier to do a good massage......and if I'm receiving a massage I like the table better, although a bed can work

Table is best, chair OK

I like a table at the right height for me.

A massage table is ideal.

These old knees don’t do well getting down to the floor or on a bed.

I honestly don’t see how as anyone could prefer any of these alternatives if a table was available regardless.

Massage Table is the best choice for me, since we can adjust the table height for different size exchange partners and it's easy to walk around thd table. 2nd option would be bed, but it's not really ideal for giving a massage. 3rd option is the floor with air an mattress for a nuru massage.

It's much easier using a table especially you can get to all the angles better.

I feel better connected during a massage session when working on the floor.

It seems easier to move around a body on a table for me.

You have many options to connect with the other person.

I do better on bed.

Seems easiest and most accessible to all parts for all methods.
