herakles and I exchanged earlier this week after a very quick exchange of emails which established that we were both free that afternoon.
As this was our first exchange, we elected to take it in turns to massage sections of each others bodies. He gave me a very soothing massage and he certainly understands how to maintain pressure and flow. He showed empathy and was unrushed and I look forward to exchanging with him again in the very near future.
tyson272 kindly hosted an exchange this evening. He was also kind enough to collect me from a nearby tram stop to save me having to take a long detour. He set up an excellent space for us to exchange and treated me to a very relaxing and sensual massage. He is very muscular yet remarkably gentle when massaging and I confess I was very disappointed when he had to stop as time was marching on and I needed to leave. With the benefit of hindsight, I wish I'd cancelled my dinner invitation and allowed myself more time to be indulged by his capable hands. Let's hope we can do this again when I return to Melbourne.
If it was possible to award 7 stars, I would! trickyfingers is a fantastic guy with unsurpassed knowledge and techniques in a variety of massage approaches. He uses these to deliver an incredible experience for the recepient. It's not just his abilities in terms of physical techniques but also his attention to details with regards to oils, music, temperature and the recepients own desires and needs.
trickyfingers is a generous exchange partner. He shares his knowledge and provides constructive criticism to help you to improve your own routine. I strongly endorse trickyfingers as an exchange partner and urge anyone who is serious about massage to get in touch with him. I travelled 10,000 miles to trade massages with trickyfingers and frankly it was worth it!
May 2011. Well I've kept my word and travelled 10,000 miles again to feel trickyfingers soothing strokes once more. He's moved to the CBD since I last saw him and set up an excellent dedicated massage space in his appartment. It was warm, candles were lit and soothing music was playing to calm all the senses. Using a combination of deep tissue and stretching techniques, he worked my knots and restored balance and harmony to my muscles.
He is a kind, generous and sincere person with a great sense of humour to boot. If you get the chance to exchange with him, you'd be insane to turn it down. He is probably the most skillful masseur I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Until the next time.....
jerhoo and I exchanged recently when he kindly came to visit me at my hotel, as I was doing business in his area. He came across as genial and friendly and suggested that he massaged me first.
It had been a long and hard day for me at work so I gladly accepted his invitation and before long he was relaxing me with long strokes and attending to the various knots in my neck. I hadn't reaalised how tired I was until I began drifting in and out of sleep, aided by jerhoo's expertese. He is far too modest about his true capabilities and whilst he may not be formally trained, he has learned to massage to a very high standard through practice and from receiving massages.
As the session continued, it became clear to jerhoo that I was "in need" of a massage. Very generously, he completed the massage, covered me in a towel to keep warm and quietly suggested that we wait until the next time for me to return the gesture.
I slept like a log. Thank you so much jerhoo for an excellent massage and for being so thoughtful. Next time it will be your turn to get the five star treatment.
Turu is wonderful guy. He's calm, considerate and his own technique is confident and re-assuring. He has an excellent knowledge of Chinese touch therapies and consequently he soon identified and treated the knots in my shoulders. I highly recommend exchanging with Turu and I am looking forward to hooking up with him again very soon.
CyclesofBecoming and I made contact last week and within a very short time arranged an exchange. He arrived on schedule and I was immediately impressed by his calm and agreeable manner. We had a very pleasant exchange. Although CyclesofBecoming lacks formal training; he easily compensates with enthusiasm, energy, and a natural sense of touch and rhythm. He listened to suggestions that I made for improvement and he gave me some valuable feedback too. With continued practise, CyclesofBecoming will become a very accomplished masseur. I look forward to our next exchange.
I exchanged with ME-91104 earlier this week and had a wonderful time from the start. He helped me to unload the massage table and set it up whilst I parked my car. He offered to massag me first so that I could relax after my drive and I accepted the offer. His technique is good, using good pressure and a variety of long strokes working up and down the body. To a large extent his is naturally talanted and the fact that he takes a keen interest in sports means that he has a good awareness of the body and where to focus attention. I'm looking forward to our next exchange in the near future.
I recently exchanged with mrtactile. In the past he has mainly received massages but it was evident from the onset that he has learned much from these. He is utterly in tune with the sense of touch and when he was massaging me, the flow and rhythm were perfect. It's hard to believe that he's not trained to the highest levels. He's also a really lovely person, easy to talk to and enjoyable to be with. Giving mrtactile a massage is a pleasure in itself. He runs regularly and partakes in yoga so he's in great shape. I'm looking forward to our next exchange immensely.
Exchanging with Papageno is a fantastic experience at every level. He’s a very amiable and friendly person with a fit, athletic body that’s a joy to work on. But he is generous too and when it was my turn to receive a massage, he gave me a long and utterly brilliant massage. He combines deep manipulations, which attend to any knots, with long flowing gentle strokes that bring about a wonderful sense of calm in the recipient. He listens to his exchange partners needs and reads their bodies well. He noted my love of reflexology and obliged by finishing the massage at my feet by which time I was wafting through the air on fluffy clouds of pleasure. I highly recommend Papageno for his skills as a practitioner and for his company as a thoroughly wonderful human being.
hardandsoft is a friendly and personable guy. He has a good understanding of basic massage techniques but more importantly he is intuitive and fundementally understands touch.
We exchanged for about 3 hours and learned from each other. hardandsoft uses long gentle strokes to relax the body before applying oil and working more deeply. I particularly liked the slow gentle manipulations he uses for some regions such as the hands. These moves are deeply relaxing and enjoyable.
I am looking forward to our next exchange and would encourage others to do the same.
