It’s true! You don’t have to pay through the nose for good massageor even bad if you’re unlucky. However, getting it for free isn’t quiteas convenient as rolling into a salon, popping your cloths on the chairand laying back for 60 minuets, but the massive savings certainly makeit worthwhile.
But just how do you get free massage? Well its all about the barter.“You rub my back and I’ll rub yours” or so the saying almost goes.Instead of paying £50 per hour plus for professional massage just finda partner to exchange massage with.
If you’re married or in a relationship you don’t need this “how to”article to tell you this is a great option but if you’re single or yourpartner isn’t as enthusiastic about massage as you are than it’s not soeasy to find a regular partner to exchange massage with.
You can’t just call up a bunch of friends and see if anyone isinterested, you might not get any return calls for a while. Not thatmassage is strange but the culture of our society just doesn’t easilyallow for such things.
Fortunately due to the massive networking opportunities that theinternet provides there are a few resources to help you find one ormore partners.
Some look and work like a dating site and cover one or morecountries and others are very basic online groups that use a simplemessage system and are highly localised.
http://groups.yahoo.com and www.craiglist.org area good start as they are free. They often have a few ads or groupsrelated to massage exchange and are always local to a certain city.Just try searching on key phrase “massage exchange + city/town” fromtheir sites.
For other small local groups you can do the same search from googleand see what happening within the first few pages of search results. Iwouldn’t bother looking any further then the first 3 pages of resultsas even if you find some more groups, not many others would have, sothere won’t be many potential partners to exchange with anyway.
The other option is one of the big massage exchange sites.
www.findamassagepartner.com (USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand about 40,000 members)
www.massage-exchange.co.uk (UK about 4,000 members)
These site not only have a lot of members but there infrastructureis comprehensive, however full membership which allow you tocommunicate with potential partners isn’t free, although it is lessexpensive for a year then for most therapists 30 minuet massage.
The big question with all these option is do all the other usersreally want massage or are they looking for something more adult? Wellfrom what I have seen they all have such users, just like dating siteshave those looking for dinner and a movie and those who want to skipboth and move straight to a chap motel these massage exchange groupshave the widest possible spectrum of users looking for the widest rangeof “massage”.
The good thing is that those looking for the more adult optionsreally do only make up a small percentage of all users and it’s notusually too hard to figure them out. The bigger sites have variousoptions to help with this including feedback, abuse reporting and astrict non sexual use policy.
Given all the facts, its worth checking all these options out to getthe most possible partnering options, the time and expense involved canpay itself back many time over once you have found one or more longterm partners.
