KneadingM's Massage Interview
Do you remember your first client ? Tell us something about that first day when you decided to be a Masseur!
I have been giving massages for about 5 years. I always enjoyed the experience of touching someone else's skin. I never hesitated, made excuses, or avoided making the receiver feel uncomfortable. My roommate was involved with giving massages to clients on a website and recommended it as a good way for me to use my already established talent, making guys relax. Room also said, “go for it,” making guys feel great brings enjoyment and you can discuss what client really wants.
What are your hobbies, what do you like to do in your spare time?
I enjoy playing soccer, lifting weights, running, and calesthetis. Play soccer about 4 times a week. It is my experience with soccer that contributes to my interest in massage because I used to get injured. Using the massage gun relieved my muscles which are always swelling.
I also have a normal job besides rent masseur that pays my bills. Besides sports I practice speaking Russian and Spanish in the car.
Some people say that being a Masseur is addictive. Would you miss your Masseur days ?
Yes, I would miss Masseur days because I like the contact of rubbing another’s skin. Pacing someone’s breathing is important at the start of massage for me, the masseur, and client receiving the massage. With proper breath we go into a symbiotic rhythm that centres our day.
Do you consider yourself a successful Masseur?
I am a ballsey masseur because not scared to try new things. When I first started I was not scared of asking and finding guys to practice massage on. Seriously I’ve massages fat guys, skinny guys, muscle steroid guys, purple guys, women with hair, men without hair, and more. I’m also interested in trying alternative styles of massage that are not inline with my timed plan. I watch videos of massage styles introduced on Twitter, YouTube, and other social media, some are new and creative.
Tell us a little about yourself, if you were to pick something what would you like your clients to absolutely know about you?
I’m a skinny athletic guy who goes with the flow and listens to their body
How would you like someone that contacts you for a massage to feel when they leave?
I want them to feel like their money talked, they got what they paid for. Let me know before hand and we can discuss what you are into
What advice would you give to someone who wants to be a Masseur?
You need to be fine doing a massage naked. There will be body contact so don’t freak if your **** touches the guys leg while your doing a massage that requires flexibility. Have your rules and boundaries. Be safe, smart, and remember the client is always right. Negotiate before going into massage. I’m fine with mutual touching if I can stay focused on massage. Be open to taking cash, credit card, Venmo, and PayPal. Practice on. Someone before starting
Why did you become a Masseur?
I enjoy making others feel comfortable. My experience with soccer, running, and lifting, had a massive impact on my legs, I started giving myself leg and foot massages noticing the results. Friends of mine who I played with had the same issues so I experimented the styles of leg massage I did on myself with them.
How long have you been a Masseur and how long do think you'd like to continue?
Been a Masseur for about 4 years. Started with sports based massage for soccer teams. Moved into different styles.
How often do you travel? Do you prefer to travel or are you more of a homebody?
Need me to visit for massage send a message! Will be more able bodied for travel when foot heals.
Like most people I love to travel but also realize that home is as good an option. Like the beach and sun.
