As the name suggests, Thai Massage originated in Thailand. While there is no historical evidence yet as to how and why this ancient body work morphed into a sensual massage in that region, there is no denying its reputation. Even in the news, you only hear about people going for Thai Massage for naughty reasons. I sometimes massage people for 2 or 3 hours. Does it have to be sexual to be that long of a massage?
When I took my first training in , I remember the teasing that followed. See, my first introduction to Thai Massage was with a warm, caring and elegant man named Dr. Blake Martin from York University, and he instructed with such a high level of professionalism and grace that these jokes felt demeaning to my experience and intentions.
Yes, he talked about the sexualization of Thai Massage, but warned against it. The call was from a business man visiting the city. We talked about a price and made a reservation and then the conversation turned:. I knew exactly where he was going with this and I needed to shut it down.
I would also like to add that I was dealing with an increasingly sick feeling in my stomach⦠even over the phone, I felt violated. He was asking me if one of my staff would be willing to offer him some sort of sexual release and he thought that this was perfectly acceptable..?
The sad part is that although I know I handled it properly-in fact, I handled it with a tact and strength that any woman would feel proud of-I still felt violated. I still felt cheap and dirty. Yes, it does.
