To ask what happens when you have a massage? Only something weird (I think) just happened to me.

So, I used to live in Switzerland for work, and a perk of the job was a weekly massage in a fancy spa. Excellent stuff, always went for a Swedish, was always happy.

I've moved to London and been looking for a place near work that can I can pop into as required. Just come back from my first session - had booked for a Swedish, which is the only type I've ever had.

It was nothing like the technique I am used to! In fact, I'm a little weirded out/unsure if what she did to me was normal at all!

So, may I ask - when you get a massage, what type do you get, and what happens (step by step, if you can)?

I've had a Thai massage where the masseuse used her elbows, forearms, feet to apply pressure.

Ive had a Turkish massage where the masseuse sang happy birthday to me (wasn't my birthday), sucked her finger and stuck it in my tummy button. When I sat up I noticed that 9yo dd who was sat in the corner had had her head and face wrapped up in a warm, wet towel by the masseuse!

She got on the bed with me, knelt in between my thighs, and leaned forwards over my back and neck to do it too - never experienced that before.

Feet, and I swear her chin at one bit.

What parts? Elbows, and knees, or tits?

Nah, nothing sexual! I'm well-practiced enough to know that that wouldn't be ok.

She just used... interesting parts of her body (which isn't that unusual, just not part of a Swedish) and also used pressure in a weird way.

What do you mean by 'normal at all'? Are you saying you accidentally ended up in a 'happy ending massage' environment?
