A while back, I decided I wanted to find an understanding massage provider with skillful hands, body knowledge and willingness to emphasize tickling in a massage session. I've visited a few dommes in the past, and although they were wonderful, their fees are unrealistically high for repeat visits. The domme thing is a different dynamic altogether; this is more basic and simple; but nonetheless a fantasy that plays deeply for me.
I had asked around TMF and no one had any suggestions; but I kept looking around and made some inquiries in my area (DC-Northern Virginia USA), and eventually found what I was looking for. There have been a few amusing hits and misses, but I've been fortunate to find two independent pro therapists willing to cater to this interest, and have had some absolutely erotic and delightful sessions with them once in while.
There is no bondage in these scenarios, but it works because the fantasy of being naked on a massage table being skillfully tickled from ears to toes by a professional masseuse is very real for me. Built into this is an element of trust, submission to someone with "playful expertise," so to speak; and non-judgmental compassion on the part of the provider ....all of which make these sessions very healthy. The two providers I've enjoyed most have very clearly enjoyed their sessions with me, and it's an extra pleasure and turn-on when I perceive them laughing and genuinely enjoying the whole thing as I submit to their skillful fingertips.
For whatever reason, the two best turned out to be Asian; one is Chinese and I believe the other is also. I don't have a thing for Eastern women per se, but there is an aspect of extra attentiveness and respect that both individuals convey, which enhances the experience vividly. I have a keen sense it is important for them to know that I respect their humanity and skills, not merely as someone coming in for sexual/sensual gratification, but for a genuine experience of what they can offer toward health and wholeness. (Also to be clear, I don't see them together; and they are not affiliated at all).
In initial contact I made it clear that I don't seek nudity on their part, "roaming" or anything out of bounds. And I don't come into these transactions asking for or expecting a "happy ending"; thankfully that has naturally been offered in a healthy way --- except for one or two times when I was so intensely aroused by the relentless tickling going on around my backside, legs and feet that I orgasmed without being touched in the traditional spot at all. (That was amazing)
The sessions generally go for an hour; the first part incorporates traditional massage to knead away tension; I find that it relaxes and sensitizes my entire body in preparation for the tickling. Basically I go for an experience of submission to sensation and laughter that takes me out of my thoughts and head, into the present moment. . . most people here know about this.
Anyway, just wanted to share a report on the "progress" I made in this direction since putting out the inquiry a while back.
P.S. I would like to address one other bit in advance, in case anyone doubts the integrity of a professional certified / licensed masseuse offering such services. Economic realities have had an influence on many trained professional providers to expand their range of service. Many who had only offered strictly "therapeutic" services in the past are more open to including sensual services now; it's a matter of privacy, integrity and their own personal boundaries every step of the way. On the flip side of that coin, there are plenty of so-called "therapists" on Craigslist and Backpage offering all manner of gratification services up to outright prostitution. I guess I'm some kind of mutant who finds that to be a turn-off. Even more so since my fantasy involves being tickled by a kind, professional (okay, and pretty female) bodyworker.
P.S. I'll tell you what: it's *great* to find a masseuse who genuinely likes to tickle a client. The next fantasy frontier is to find one who would love to have the client tickle HER on the table in return. Getting some delicious payback on her beautiful oiled bare feet is one I can keep dreaming about (hee-hee) . . .
