5 Reasons to Love a Chinese Massage

Definitely I must say: I like Chinese massage. Well, I should say I generally like massaging, feeling smooth hands, sometimes feeling a rude elbow rolling on my back or legs, feeling my body completely oiled as a sardin, wow, that's awesome.
So, it doesn't matter the massage, everyone is fantastic. I go on every kind of them: Ayurvedic, Deep, Joint-release, Californian, Stone, Lymphatic, Trager, Shatsu, Tantra and so on. Really, I'm addicted to massage and I went in so many places to have 'em, but at last I must admit I like Chinese massage

I don't want to talk about the technics. Generally they do the Tui-na, that's one of the important part of Chinese Medicine, but I want to talk about their hands, the atmosphere, the pampers.

Life is not only run, stress, work, scream, catharsys and so on. At first, Life is a pamper. Write it on your iPhone's screen

So, this is the top five:
1 The price
At least in Rome, Italy, you can find a Chinese massage well-done with 40 euros for 1 hour. Generally you spend 60 euros or more for a normal massage (nothing special) in an Esthetic center where you stay in a little room beside another one with an old Miss who's having hand care and talking about her life. Thai massage, for example, starts from 80 euros and more.
With just 40 euros you can touch the sky for 1 hour.

2 The chat
Where you are having a massage, inside the room you have smooth lights, soft music, the aromatic smell of a candle, the right climate... and outside you have the city. Traffic, clacson, people that scream, and people who just chat. In your beatitude you are disturbed by the old Miss who explains that her husband doesn't have sex with her for months or years or that there is the crisis and she doesn't have money to pay he bills. Why do people use this time as a Psychotherapy? This is a moment where you must relax your mind. If I want to talk about the crisis I go to a business seminar not a Massage Center.
In Chinese Massage Centers they talk, yes, but they talk in Chinese. So, if you're a Chinese maybe you understand, otherwise you don't understand any words and so your attention can stay with you.
And you don't realise that maybe she is talking about you...

"This is a bit painful"
"Don't worry, I do it for your well"
"What the...?????? Aaaahhhh"




3 Urban Legend: the sex
If we go to the web and we google "Chinese Massage" we find escorts and announces for a massage with "happy ending". What does it mean? The "happy ending" is when at the end of the massage the girl asks you if you like to go over. Yes, on that way.
Generally they mean masturbation but maybe they can accept even sex. You decide the price and if it's ok for her you go to have sex. Basically, it's a negotiation.
Is it true and so common?
Not really. I have been having massage for years and I've never found a masseuse who asked me for a "happy ending". Never. In Chinese or in another language. Well, I generally found ad advice "It's forbidden to ask any kind of sex or we call the Police".
Is the "happy ending" just a Urban Legend for being excited in front of the computer screen? No, it exists because there are a lot of people who ask in forums if it's normal and if he's normal because he has accepted. There are also forums in which people give reviews about some particular masseuses, her skills, what she does, what doesn't and so on, but generally this is the kind of Massage Centers that will close in a while.
Are you looking for sex? My advice is: call an escort (Masseuse or not) but don't think of Sex Massage, don't hope that every woman that touches your body wants to have sex with you. Just let her doing her job in giving you a moment of relax and enjoy the massage.

"Are you stressed? I know the best way to let the stress goes away. How do you wanna pay for it?"
I go to a Massage Center to let my job away, not for developing my negotiations skills...

4 Chineses overwhelm you
If you've had a Tui-na massage you can understand me. You can decide if you wanna a massage soft or hard. Well, if you want to experience the hard one, well, good luck. You could go out from the Centre with a body completely destroyed... I'm joking.
There is a little pain but it's a good pain: 5 minutes later you feel amazingly. Completely relax. But during the Massage you could suffer because the masseuse touches you hardly, with her (or him if you are a girl or a man who likes the man touch) hands, pushing your body with her fingers, her elbows, her knees or feet: yes, feet, because they climb up the table for a little part of the massage. Fantastic.
If you ask it soft, instead, things are different. The whole time is like a little ship on a calm sea during the sunset. You feel her hands moving softly and kindly that you will think: "Oh, I'd like it won't finish".

"Feel how soft is my hand..."
5 Quality
When we say Chinese our mind goes to a lot of products that copy our products but with a worse quality. It's not the common way, of course, but sometimes we see "Made in China" products there are exactly like others made in UK, Italy or elsewhere, even if the quality is not so good (to let the price down). Well, Chinese Massage is not this kind example. Of course there are good masseuses and bad masseuses, but like any other product or service. Maybe it's only been my experience, but I have been massaged by many Chinese masseuse and everytime I found a good quality. And, I repeat for those that are laughing about it, no, I don't mean happy ending. I have never found that situation.
