What is a Body to Body Massage?
Typical Western massages offer relaxation by massaging the entire body with the therapist using their hands and elbows. A body to body massage is not a traditional Thai massage, but rather this technique is more of an erotic massage where the Thail girl uses her body, including her thighs and chest (let’s be honest – boobs!) to offer a full body to body tantric experience.
People visit Thai soapy massage parlors for a sensual, intimate experience. While you absorb the skin to skin sensual massage you’ll feel the masseuse slowly rubbing her entire body over you using oils or soaps to help you become aroused.
The Evolution of Soapy Massages
Also called “soapies,” these types of massages are something that grew with Thailand’s tourism boom. These started as a traditional Thai Massage that was therapeutic in nature, but the adult entertainment boom and growth of the famous Bangkok Red Light Districts became to turn them into more of an erotic massage.
Soapy massages started in Bangkok and were open to both locals and tourists. (If you’ve been to Asia, you know that some venues are tourist-facing while others are strictly for locals). As the services matured and customers flocked to get soapy and nuru massages, the popularity of the soapy massage parlour industry boomed.
It’s well known that Thailand is a known hot spot for single male travelers looking for sex as well as anyone looking for an intimate and wild nightlife and adult entertainment destination, and Thai soapy massage parlors were a welcome addition to the huge menu of “adult services” one could find in the country. While they do operate in a grey area since prostitution is illegal here, soapy massages are tolerated when confined to the tourism destinations like Soi Cowboy and Patpong.
Soapy Massage Thailand – What to Expect
Walk through the door to a to an erotic massage parlor in Thailand offering soapy massages can be eye opening on your first visit. There is typically a discreet lobby area where you’ll hear light music in a dark, sensual environment. The ambiance sets the tone for a day of bliss and relaxation.
Once you pass the lobby, you’ll find women tucked behind a glass wall often called the “fishbowl.” They sit and pose on couches in sexy outfits as they flaunt their goods or simply stare you down. While you ogle the goods you are free to grab a drink and relax.
The soapy massage girls wear a badge on their shirt that showcases a combination of their level of experience as well as the price you’ll pay for her time in the private rooms. Expect to pay between 1500 Baht all the way up to 2800 Baht which gets you a 90 – 120 minute time period.
There are soapy massage girls on the sideline as well. These are younger, sexier, more appealing women that will cost you more. These women are the prize here, and it’ll cost you up to 5,000 Baht or even more if you choose to select from this group.
What You’ll Experience in the Soapy Massage
Your first order of business is to select a girl that you think you’ll have a good time with.
Most of the time the mamasan will speak to you and give you a rundown of how things work once you enter the lobby, so have no fear – they are here to make sure you know how a soapy massage parlor works. My guide is simply to prepare you for this to help you know what you are getting into.
My advice is to ask questions and tell her exactly what you want. From the age, looks, and experience, and what her services will cost. Once you are satisfied with your selection and officially choose her for your experience, the mamasan will let her know you selected her and you’ll be prompted to pay.
Once payment is complete you’ll be led to a private room. Once there, the magic can begin to hapen and you can experience a nuru massage parlor in it’s element!
It starts off with a calming bath where you will be bathed with soap. I kind of chuckle when I write this, because it makes me think of the famous “the Royal Penis is Clean” scene from Coming to America, but that’s what you get!
Once you are cleaned up, the body-to-body massage begins. It’s an intimate encounter you have to experience to fully believe. I leave fully relaxed and ready for whatever is next if I’m being honest.
Soapy and Erotic Massage Types
Know in advance that you’ll get a happy ending with either option you choose from the two main options for soapy massages. The main differences in them is price, which is based on experience and technique. Here’s what you’ll need to know about each of the types of soapy massages.
Happy Ending Massages
Happy ending massage parlors exist all over the world and operate out of small massage establishments where one has the inclination it’s not a certified therapist, but rather someone who will massage your body but with the caveat that you will get a happy ending before the session completes.
You’ll find many of these parlors located on Sukhmvit Road in Bangkok. They are more primitive and have a massage bed and an area you can shower in after the session is completed.
Soapy Massage Parlors
This is the better of the two options as soapy massages are a whole new level of seduction and stimulation. You’ll find no shortage of places you can get a soapy massage session in Thailand where you can get a full body massage without the woman using her hands.
This elevated experience varies by destination, but you can expect VIP suites that offer a king bed and even a jacuzzi tub. You’ll have the option of larger rooms for groups and while they cost more, they also have room service and karaoke. I don’t know about you, but I’m here for the nuru and soapy massage, the last thing I want to do is waste time singing!
