lavocalist was verbally and bodily responsive to the massage that he was provided. It made it very easy to know where on his body to stay longer before moving onto a next section of his body. What was most enjoyed during our time together was the amount of mutual touch he provided while he was being massaged. He was constantly in-touch and connecting.
At 6’2”, lavocalist was able to easily move around and lean into and cover my entire body while giving me a massage. Providing a massage atop of a bed is the norm and comes easy for me since I do not own a massage table. While I enjoyed the massage lavocalist provided, he stated he struggled continuing to provide me with a massage, and would prefer bringing his table the next time and provide me my next massage atop the massage table. I look forward to then to see if it will feel different on the receiving end. Just the opposite, he said he enjoyed receiving one on the bed. lavocalist was very communicative throughout our correspondence prior to the exchange as well as once he arrived and during it. It does not take long before you get a sense that he is a spiritual, kind hearted and good person. Due to the connection that occurred, it is hoped that we are able to use what time is left before he moves to another city within the state later this year. Thank you again, lavocalist. - cdune |

| In addition to my earlier review of my awesome exchange with cdune, I wanted to add that this was my first attempt at using a bed vs a table. I personally felt that I could not provide the very best massage for cdune that I could have with a table. I look forward to bringing my own table along with me next time in order to demonstrate my formal training (at Cortiva Massage Institute) techniques… the difference in height (cdune: 5’-5” vs my 6’-2”) makes it much easier using a table. The great thing about most portable massage tables is that they are easy to adjust the height to accommodate the therapist’s height.
Also, I am anxious about starting a new chapter in my life in In northeastern Florida. As much as I have loved living in the Tampa Bay Area, I’ll only be 3 hours away and still plan on visiting occasionally. I’m also looking forward to meeting new Massage Exchange partners in/around the Jacksonville area. |

Initial correspondence between Pianoman4042 and me prior to us both being in Atlanta a few months back led us to eventually realize it would be on different dates. Since then, correspondence continued between us and recently led to us finally crossing paths. Really glad that our perseverance continued for the exchange was most pleasant and memorable.
Pianoman4042 definitely knows the body. He has this incredible ability to read the human body. Examples include through touching my body he was able to read that I am left-handed, identify parts of my body that were stress free, and parts that were stressed (i.e., the bottom area of my right foot). In general, Pianoman4042 tended to apply firm pressure during the massage he gave me, yet could quickly assess my limitation to receive such and readily backed down. Not being one who enjoys deep tissue, I was thankful he could readily accommodate my preference. If your own preference is firm-pressure massage, then Pianoman4042 is definitely the bodywork person for you. He also incorporated some nice stretching techniques to a couple of parts of the body (arms, legs). The moments of light touch were exceptionally pleasant as Pianoman4042 has a nice touch. A friendship easily evolved while in the company of one another. Definitely hope that this first time was the first of many exchanges between us. Speaking of exchanges, I look forward to next time so that I can reciprocate a more dedicated session for him for the touch that I provided was more in-the-moment and relaxing oriented. Thank you again my friend for all that you did to make this session happen. |

What a pleasant and relaxing exchange I had with stanley97035.
Throughout the massage stanley97035 provided, he would use both hands at the same time, making for a larger, dedicated coverage area. What made this technique all the more special was the softness of stanley97035’s hands. He excelled at the use of soft touch. There were moments my body would actually tingle from ecstasy. stanley97035 was also at-one with and attentive to my body the entire duration of the massage he provided. If you are looking for someone who is deep-tissue oriented, you may want to look for someone else. But, if you are looking for someone who gives an incredibly tender and relaxing massage, look no further for stanley97035 is The Man. While I thoroughly enjoyed physically giving stanley97035 a massage, it would have been beneficial if there had been responsiveness on his part throughout the massage. Not until the end of both massages and just prior to his leaving did I learn just how much he enjoyed the massage. Verbal feedback and/or body responsiveness would have prompted me to stay longer on those parts of the body so he could have enjoyed that part of the massage all the more. (This might be food for thought for us all as receivers.) With the hope there will be a next time where I can ensure that occurs. Thanks again, stanley97035. |

My exchange with nowintown was an unexpected pleasure.
Communication on the front side of the exchange was just the right amount on the part of both nowintown and myself. nowintown even texted as he left his home as well as when he was thirty minutes out, even texting of his arrival once he was in the driveway. Having driven for a couple of hours, nowintown asked if he could receive first, which always only seems the right thing to do in such a given situation. And being that I enjoy giving a massage as much as I do receiving one, it was a non-issue. While in person nowintown appears shorter in statue than his stated height, he has a nice physique - more muscular than average in build - which is all the more apparent while massaging him. In addition, he has naturally smooth skin. Both aspects contributed to making it a pleasure to provide him a full-body massage. One slight thing that stopped it from being ideal was it was difficult to get a read from him if he was enjoying the massage, as he quietly and motionlessly laid there, causing me a need to ask him on several occasions how he was doing. The unexpected part of the exchange occurred when nowintown provided me my massage. I have never experienced such energy come from another massage partner. Energy radiated from him as he touched my body, particularly from his finger tips. For example, while nowintown massaged my backside, a couple of times, the upper part of my body came up from the bed top due to the amount of energy coming from his hands and (creatively and pleasantly utilized) chin. Another incredible aspect of the massage was I never had a sense of where he was going to massage next. Definitely was not traditional body work - working from top of body to the feet, or vice versa - making the massage all the more invigorating and pleasurable. All in all, the massage was total bliss and the best I have ever received. Upon the conclusion of both of our massages, we each expressed the utmost pleasure with the massage that we received. Getting together again for another exchange seems very likely, and something I look forward to very much. Thank you again, nowintown. - cdune |

(Unsure as to exactly when, but at a minimum) twelve years ago whoopsstillupnotsleeping and I first met for our first and only massage exchange. The massage he provided remains the all-time best therapeutic massage I have ever received until this past Wednesday when Whoops… was in the area once again and we met again for massage.
What stands out most about Whoops…’s massage is his effective use of Lomi Lomi techniques, which included long, seamless and sweeping strokes of his hands, forearms and elbows that readily glided from one part of my body to another. Such movements caused me to feel as if my body was continuously being addressed and cared for. A second element that Whoops… effectively administered was working on my back as I lie on my back side. He was able to amazingly maneuver his hands underneath my back and easily work those areas. I have yet to meet another body worker do so so well. The icing on the cake to all of this was how focused on and attentive to my body Whoops… was the entire time of the massage. It is hoped that a next time will not entail such a lapse of time. Yet, should another time not ever occur, I will have been privileged with two exceptional massages and exchanges. Thank you again, Whoops… cdune |

It was encouraging to read wildtiger’s review of our exchange. While I knew he preferred a firmer, deep-tissue massage, giving such a massage does not come natural for me. I am glad that he was able to appreciate other innate qualities in the massage I give - attentiveness, unhurried, genuineness, etc.
Giving wildtiger a massage was easy as well as enjoyable for he has a naturally toned physique - particularly in his arms, thighs and calves areas. Additionally, his skin is soft and smooth, a pleasure to massage. wildtiger’s temperament also made it easy to give him a massage. There were moments while providing him a massage he gently responded with mutual touch. A nice connection genuinely and naturally developed and evolved between us as the exchange progressed - a rarity in massage exchanges these days. The massage wildtiger gave was more technical than mine is. Once in his hands, you soon learn he is very knowledgeable of the the body’s muscle groups - location, direction they run within the body. Too, he enlightened me to such as he massaged me. Both a nice person and great masseur, wildtiger is an outstanding choice for a massage partner. - cdune |

Connecting with raymome was one of those rare can-you-meet-today exchanges that easily fell into place and culminated into a most pleasant exchange and experience. Through initial conversation prior to beginning the exchange, we learned that we both genuinely enjoyed giving a massage as much as we enjoy receiving one - probably more so; and the exchange played out as such.
raymome provided a great massage that was all-consuming - i.e., strong wide-ranging hand sweeps, long even strokes using either his hands or elbows, use of his full body. As he had stated such, he appeared to truly enjoy giving. I likewise enjoyed providing him a massage. His is thick bodied, particularly in his neck, back, and thighs areas, these areas being larger in size and more solid than most guys; making for a good body to hone your skills on. Would very much welcome exchanging with him again. - cdune |

SYNC has a nice physique to massage. It is easy to find and connect with the muscles in his arms and legs when massaging him. In addition, his skin is smooth and creamy to the touch, extremely smooth after applying oil to it. Great for massaging a body.
SYNC exhibits a great deal of passion when he speaks about massage and touch. During the massage he gave, he frequently used parts of his body other than his fingers and hands, i.e., side of his arm, knee, leg, entire body. His soft touch felt particularly wonderful and pleasurable. It seem naturally executed the times he used it. All in all, SYNC put a lot of himself both physically and spiritually into giving a massage. |

Ongoing contact on Hunter101’s part occurred for many months prior to his arrival to the area, making us feel familiar with one another before finally meeting in person for massage.
My massage by Hunter101 was much more enjoyable than I was expecting it to be due to how Hunter101 would describe and downplay his skill set. He utilized soft touch much of the time, during which time it was easy to get lost in the moment. What is oftentimes non-memorable, upward massaging each side of my body is an example of such. So was his use of both hands working in symmetry of the upper back. What needs to be added is the massage was traditional and therapeutic in nature, making it all the more pleasant. If you are looking for such a massage, Hunter101 is highly recommended. Thanks again, Hunter101. - cdune |

I was able to do a massage exchange with Dion123 while I was in Dallas. Our communication leading up to the exchange made it where we felt very comfortable with one another from the get-go.
Dion123’s style is traditional in nature. His touch is soft and continuously attentive, and the massage naturally flows, making for a most pleasant experience. It was easy to get lost in the moment during the massage. In addition, Dion123 is a pleasant and genuinely nice individual; it is easy to be in his company. A second exchange was discussed, but in the end, did not occur. Must say that I was disappointed for I would have very much enjoyed a like experience. Thanks again, Dion123. - cdune |
