Does the type of massage you’re getting really matter to you if we are all looking for the happy ending?  There are various types of massages out there: Swedish massage, Thai massage, Shiatsu massage, Tui Na massage, Javanese massage, Tantric massage etc.  Each has it’s own function and techniques.  Do guys really request a specific type?  I guess if you get a session that is at least one hour or more, the type of massage matters.  But if it’s just half hour, I don’t see the point of the requesting something specific.  So here’s the a brief run down for each different type:

Thai massage: Generally this massage is done on a mat or firm mattress on the floor. The recipient is made to practice yoga-like positions during the course of the massage. Nearly every recipient find Thai massages very relaxing and refreshing.

Shiatsu massage : Shiatsu hails from the Japanese words shi, meaning finger, and atsu, meaning pressure.  It uses thumb pressure, palms, and fingers, and works along the energy meridians in the body with the same meridians as acupressure.

Tui Na Massage: Tui na is actually a form of Chinese manipulative therapy and it was developed more than 5000 years ago. Acupuncture, Chinese herbals and other health therapies are often used in combination with this Asian Massage.  In this massage technique, pressure is applied at certain key points of the body. It employs a series of pressing, tapping and kneading with the therapist's palms, fingertips, knuckles or certain implements that are said to remove blockages along the meridians of the body.

Javanese massage: In this technique all parts of the therapist's hand (knuckles, palms and fingers) are used to knead and massage the muscles. The whole procedure is facilitated by using massage oil. Javanese massage is very useful in relieving tension, alleviating back pain and healing of fractures.

Swedish massage: This massage is a vigorous system of treatment designed to energized the body by stimulating circulation.  Five basic strokes, all flowing toward the hear, are used to manipulate the soft tissue of the body.  Therapists use a combination of kneading, rolling, vibrational, percussive and tapping movements, with the application of oil, to reduce friction on the skin.  

Nuru massage: Erotic massage technique called also Body Slide, both participants are naked. The name comes from Nuru massage oil (Nuru = slippery in japanese) , an odorless and tasteless gel derived from seaweed leaves
