Im I insane or is it OK to "Walk on the Wild Side"

ello, ello? where was this beautiful massage that you so gracefully indulged in? i'm certainly intrigued!

01/10/2006 Tina L. says:

I gather from your question that you aprove?
In any case he came to my apt with his table and oil

01/11/2006 Liza P. says:

Tina - sounds a bit odd, but I think it's great! I've never been to someone like this, however one of my dear good friend's roomamate is a Tantric teacher, who sort of works along the same lines. The feedback from her clients has been overwhelmingly terrific! She laughs about it, and calls her work "Tickling the Kundalini."

To answer your question: this kind of practice is slightly outside of conventional social norms, but completely awesome for anyone with any meditation/yoga/buddhist tendencies. If this teaches you anything about Tantra, you'll be in great shape!

01/11/2006 Tina L. says:

Liza Thank you so much for your support.
I am actually after my second session and loved it even more then the first.

01/12/2006 Diana B. says:

Sounds like (complicit) sexual abuse.

01/12/2006 Liza P. says:

Diana - from a laymen's viewpoint, I guess you can almost look at that as prostitution [the masseuse of course] , but not AT ALL sexual abuse [unless I am unclear about who is abusing whom]. It's difficult to find mass acceptance of alternative healing and relaxation therapies, which seems to be why Tina is even asking this question. Tantra in particular is great for some people - it can literally re-invigirate and revive people who have otherwise become listless and energy-drained.

I'm not saying that it's for everyone, but I hope that we can all be open-minded enough to withhold judgement, and maybe go so far as to learn more [even if it is to confirm that this is definitely not the thing for you!]

I see nothing wrong with feeling good, and clearly there was no abuse involved, since you yourself prompted the happy ending.

Personally, I'm concerned that a woman would invite a strange man into her apartment, especially for such an intimate session, with you in such a vulnerable position. It sounds like an episode of  "Law & Order" waiting to happen.

01/13/2006 Liza P. says:

GG - good point...

Tina - how did you find this guy?

01/13/2006 Tina L. says:

Diana I definitely disagree though I am not sure Who you are suggesting abused who?
Liz and GG I met Mark through a warm referral from a close friend who know a couple other people that have seen Mark, Also not being completely naive I made sure my neighbor was in the apt when m arrived and that it was clear that she was waiting for me next door.
I have to admit this has been a confusing experience for me and it took me until after the second session to fully realize what a powerful medium touch is. During the second session I laughed and I cried and I felt quite liberated emotionally. Though both times I saw Mark it was an extremely sensual experience it was much more of an emotional one. I definitely categorize the experience as a sensual and not a sexual one.
Though M and I spoke very little before the session, there was an amazing sense of safety and comfort relayed through his touch and a unique feeling of familiarity created completely through touch. I found the whole experience to be exhilarating and therapeutic on many different levels. The emotional release and relief that I experienced after climaxing was NOT like anything I have experienced in my relationships with men or women and I do not consider it "sex" per say. I definitely would not consider what mark did prostitution.
Again I want to thank you all there is something wonderful about this medium of debate.
Tina

An experience so intensely satisfying on that many different levels is rare. I think you should enjoy it without question.

07/13/2006 Judy W. says:

hi, I would experience the wonder of a massage like this and wonder if you would not mind passing along the referral.  Does anyone have any information to pass along about this?
I know this was a couple of months back but any information would be greatly appreciated.

07/13/2006 Arlyne B. says:

Okay, Tina, call me cynical, but I couldn't help noticing that you haven't written a single review (your page is dated January 2006), you don't have any Yelp friends, and this titillating talk thread seems to be your first communication.  Why would you ask such personal advice of people you've had no knowledge of about a situation that you, yourself, label as a "Walk on the Wild Side"?  Unless, of course, it never happened.  I just can't help being a tad suspicious.

07/14/2006 Adrian B. says:

seconding Arlyne B.'s suspicions, sounds like the first couple of paragraphs of one of those Penthouse Forum 'letters'

07/14/2006 Jessica "President of Awesome" A. says:

This talk thread is from January. In my head are the words "beating" "dead" and "horse".

07/14/2006 Orlando E. says:

lol... now thats funny! lol

07/14/2006 Arlyne B. says:

Jessica, I never thought to look at the date!  I'll keep that in mind when a talk thread is resurrected after many months.

07/14/2006 Judy W. says:

I was merely commenting on a thread I read from a few months ago.  I myself am a new member and I did not start the thread.  Merely trying to see if the thread starter would respond.  Yes maybe I am beating a dead horse but if I do not try then will I ever get a response.  I am Judy W if you read the post correctly, not Tina.  If you also read my last sentence you will see I mentioned that this thread was started a few months ago.  I am new here and if I did something wrong then I apologize .

07/14/2006 Orlando E. says:

judy, nothing wrong was done by you here. I think the comment was made towards the originator. There are a few threads started by people that are not looking forward to actually yelp but to either promote "services" or to just get plain opinions. So, yelp to your hearts content! If i knew more about the subject, i would post it.. hey, i would look for it myself but i let my gf take care of those massages ;-)
