Starting with erotic massage: the gentlest way in

For anyone who wants to begin but is not yet sure full sex work suits them. What massage work involves, what you need, and how to set your limits.

Not everyone considering this wants to offer everything straight away. Erotic massage is how many people begin: less far, more clearly bounded, and you decide entirely where it stops.

What it involves

A full-body relaxation massage that ends erotically — usually an hour, usually with oil. That is the variant asked for everywhere. There are also more specific forms such as body-to-body, nuru and tantra, but those need an equipped room and more experience. Do not start there.

What you need

  • A quiet room with a shower nearby. A massage table is nice but not required — many people start on a firm mattress on the floor.
  • Oil, towels, clean sheets. Not a large outlay in total.
  • An hour per booking. Half-hours barely work for massage: half the time goes on building up.

Your limits are easier to set here

That is the real advantage. In massage it is entirely normal to say beforehand what is and is not touched, and a good masseuse asks anyway. Put it in your profile too: only tick massage with happy ending if you offer it, and leave the rest if you only massage.

Anyone who starts pushing during the booking is someone you stop with. That is not an exception but the ground rule.

What you can charge

Massage rates generally sit a little below escort rates, but the bookings are calmer and overrun less often. Look at the city page for your own municipality to see what is normal before picking a figure.
