On 6/6/22 I had a Tantric massage by Shade. It's an 1.5 hour massage, but Shade isn't a clock watcher, so massage was at least 10 minutes longer. This was my first time for a Tantric massage. This massage was amazing!! Shade uses multiple modalities (various different massage techniques); many I have never experienced before. Shade makes sure you are comfortable throughout the massage. He is a kind and chill fellow and easily puts you at ease. Appreciated this as it was my first time with Shade and a Tantric massage. Shade confirmed he does regular deep tissue or a lighter massage if that is your choice. Please book Shade for you massage needs. You will be happy you did. Note: This was outcall so "ambient" is N/A.

I recently received the Taos massage from ShadesMassage. This is the gentler of the two Tantra massages. I've always responded well to loving, gentle touches and this massage was perfect for anyone like me. I'd rather not reveal too many details of the process. This was my first of this kind of massage and not knowing what comes next added to its pleasure, and yes, also to its eroticism. Taos Massage won't appeal to everyone because little pressure is applied throughout. I am used to having deeper massages and this one is very different by comparison. It's focus is more on sharing positive, healing energies than in forcing muscles to relax through applied pressure, so some clients may find it disappointing, but give it a chance. The best way I can describe how it feels is like spending an hour in a hot tub with the water jets gently brushing your skin, relaxing you in all the right places; except this massage adds a sharing of positive energy that takes it beyond the physical pleasures. You walk away thinking and feeling more positive, and that feeling lingers for days. I'm trying to not put too much emphasis on the erotic aspect of this massage because it's subjective how erotic it will feel to people. For me, it felt very erotic, at times borderline orgasmic. I will continue to have deeper massages, but I now plan to also include more Taos massages from ShadesMassage. He is an amazing masseur, ***y beyond belief, and I highly recommend him for whatever kind of massage you're seeking.

Note: This session was an out call. So my rating of the "ambience" is what I tried to provide and not any responsibility of the masseur.
This is a very good, very beautiful person. He began our, in his words prior to the session, "erotic tantra" time with the Hindi word and greeting, "Namaste," which means (translated as well as these things can be): "I bow to the divine in you." And to that, I replied the same. Yet, with the exception of perhaps 10 minutes (?) of our session, he was utterly closed off to whatever divinity there might be in me, and simply set about his session, doing his routine, his back to me often as not, shoving my limbs to where he wanted them to be, and almost scrupulously keeping himself from relating to me as the person I am.
I'm perfectly willing to accept that he might just not like or care for the person I am...but I'd at least have wanted him to give that person I am a chance before closing off to him (me). It was a strange experience for me to find someone who was much warmer in email than in person. Some of it may be shyness. Some may be that indefinable "lack of chemistry."
Not surprisingly, there was nothing tantric (save some deep breathing I tried to remember to do at times, yet without guidance or coaching) and nothing erotic (occasional rubbing of traditional hot spots and some body-lying-upon-body for moments here and there, but no connection of person to person). This wouldn't have been such an issue if I had not first flagged this very concern (wanting to be regarded as a person and not just a body to work a technique on) explicitly ahead of our session.
He put in the time. I paid him his money. Maybe there's something we can both learn from this. My expectations should not have been so high. I make no assumptions but should likely make allowances for his reactions to things like my age, weight, facial hair, etc. Look, I absolutely know when someone is closed off from offering me true presence.
Others may well find that spark-ling session with this admittedly remarkable man. That did not happen for me.

Not even sure how to begin responding to that one.
This client admits his psychological expectations were high and that he was looking for something beyond the massage that I had no intention of providing, nor was promised. I don't feel I did anything that would diminish his individuality in anyway. If anything, I feel I went out of my way to attempt to make him feel valued and appreciated as a person. He decided to reveal that he warned me he was seeking such a connection in a private e-mail prior to us meeting. I need to say that actually made me nervous about meeting him as I could tell he might have had negative experiences in the past. I did not want to replicate them. Maybe that came off a little in my delivery. Apparently, what he was needing was not something I could provide.
In my defense, I provided exactly what I have been trained to do, nothing more or less in the time period that was requested. The descriptions he uses are exactly how the massage is to be performed (I occasionally have move a client's limbs so that I don't lose my balance and crush them, and and I did give guidance at the beginning of the massage concerning deep breathing).
I have since spoken to him about these remarks in his review to see if we could sort anything out as no one has ever complained about this particular massage I provided (and I have done dozens of them over a several year period) and he only conveys a demanding psychological need for connection that goes beyond any massage I could provide. I never tried to be "closed off," but when you meet someone for the first time, it can come off that way at times.
I am writing this reply not to put down anyone down, but to illustrate my willingness to learn and improve my massage experiences. No one should feel the way this client did after an appointment with me. However, I am only human and an instant connection with someone is not an automatic guarantee and the lack of one is not the fault of the massage or masseur IMO
