What advice would you give to someone who wants to be a Masseur?

Being a masseur is not for everyone. Therapeutic massage aren't as personal as the erotic massage.
To do erotic you need to be grounded & strong in your head & in your hart. You need to love yourself for not fall into drugs & alcool.
At 46 y-o i can do it, because I know myself & I know what am doing. I do it because I love it & because I assume it.
If you want to become a masseur, go receive massages before to explore. Also, imagine that the person on your table is the type that dont attract you. Would you be able to please him? Can you see the beautiful side in that person?
If you want to do it only for money, you will not last in that field. You need more then that to go trough. But if this is something that appels you. You could have a lot of fun pleasing other man. This is not only a job, its a devotion.

Why did you become a Masseur?

At the beginning I wanted to start my own busines, & being a good therapist. But after a will it turned out to go more & more into the ***ual contact that I wasn't expecting to happen… surprised, I love it. & now this is my addiction. Im always excited. I hope this passion will keep on burning inside me.

Is extensive training necessary for a Masseur in order to be successful?

To me, being a masseur takes knowledges & training. This is the basic to start. After you add your own personality into it. I had danced, meditated, taught gymnastic, & other stuff that gives me more back-ground for being the masseur I am today. Each of us are different because we all have our pat of life that brings us where we are. I feel complet when I massage. All of my knowledges are on the table.
