Anatomy of a Massage Parlor with Happy Ending
The ancient art of massage is appreciated by everyone, and a good relaxing massage is undoubtedly the ideal remedy against physical and mental stress. It’s a moment of carefree relaxation, a space where time flows peacefully while we let a person—more or less a stranger—take full care of our naked body. Of course, there are also strictly therapeutic massages or those focused on specific parts of the body, and ones done with clothes on while they press certain points (like Kenshiro, but without making you explode ^^)But since here we are talking about “Happy Ending Massage” we will consider only those types of massages and treatments that focus on relaxation, in which there is direct physical contact between the client and the masseuse(Yes, masseuse, not masseur, because if you haven’t noticed, we’re on TravelsForMen and male masseurs don’t interest us; but if you really want the other point of view, feel free to visit a site like cosmopolitan.com — and best of luck to your neurons)).
What is meant by happy ending?
In theory, it is possible to reach the infamous Happy Ending in any type of massage center and with any masseuse, whether it’s a luxury hotel spa, a fully equipped beauty center, the most low-end neighborhood massage parlor made in China, or even one of the many private practitioners working from an apartment. The possibility of an “alternative” ending is not a fantasy but rather a matter of opportunity and circumstances, which we will discuss later. For now, it’s important to say that there are various types of Happy Endings:
- The Manual Ending, known as a Handjob in English, Lingam for the tantra aficionados, but you can also call it a “jerk off” or whatever term is used in your area. The basic Happy Ending, a timeless classic that has nothing to envy from other methods when performed skillfully.
- The Ending with the Mouth, Blowjob, blowjob, and many other more or less colorful synonyms. It’s often an upgrade from the manual finale, with which it’s closely connected (unless you find a virtuoso of fellatio who can do everything without using her hands, but when it comes to masseuses, that’s a rarity).
- The All-Inclusive Finish or Full Service, basically full sexual intercourse, is very common in so-called Erotic Massage or “Teen Massage” establishments, as well as Soapy and Nuru Massage parlors in Asian countries such as Thailand and Japan. It’s much less common elsewhere, although Slovenia, for example, has several “special massage parlors” that offer this service, as do some Chinese massage parlors in Italy, Germany, and other neighboring countries.
- Besides the three classic types mentioned above, the Happy Ending can be practically of any kind—from the simple rubbing of the practitioner’s intimate parts against those of the client in a body-to-body massage, to a juicy TitsJob (or “Spagnola,” as it’s called in Italy), all the way to the more fetish footjob, or FootJob as it’s known. Naturally, it also depends a lot on the type of venue and masseuse you’re dealing with, as there are many, often very different from each other.
What are massages with Happy Ending?
The Chinese Massage Parlor: In Italy, as in many other European and Western countries, the infamous Chinese massage parlors offer a good compromise between discretion, relaxation, and naughty fun at budget-friendly prices. You’ll usually see only men entering these establishments, and they’re easily recognizable by the typical images and the word “Massage” plastered all over their shop windows. Others are more discreet and rely on advertisements and word of mouth among customers. In these cases, you might find nothing more than an illuminated “OPEN” sign or an inconspicuous doorbell beside the entrance to what looks like an abandoned commercial property. Most of these places offer various types of relaxing massages. Some also have a “Body-to-Body” option on their price list, meaning a massage performed by the masseuse using her own body against the customer’s. This generally includes a Happy Ending, which may be performed manually or in other ways. Obviously, there are no hard-and-fast rules, but when the masseuse is rubbing her thong-clad body against your naked skin, just about anything is possible. In some cases, it’s simply a matter of price. In others, the house rules will be explained to you before the massage begins. However, when Body-to-Body massage is available, there’s a good chance that paying a little extra will allow you to finish with a proper ride. If in doubt, just ask (and bring your own condoms, for obvious reasons).
– Makeshift or Apartment-Based Massage Parlors: This category includes all those cases in which one or more masseuses work from home, where they’ve set up a room specifically for massages. It may sound strange, but there are far more businesses of this kind than you might imagine (and in this case, we’re talking about those operating in Italy). Not to be confused with the so-called “Lofts,” meaning prostitutes who work from apartments, these more or less amateur masseuses generally offer massages with a Happy Ending, with considerable variations in both prices and services. You might come across a professional masseuse who, for a higher price than you’d pay for a good standard massage at a wellness center, offers the “magic finish” (usually a handjob). Alternatively, you might find a former Loft girl who’s reinvented herself as a masseuse. In this case, the massage is often little more than an excuse to attract customers, and there’s a good chance that Full Service will be available. Or you might simply encounter a girl who wants to make some extra money without fully crossing the line into outright prostitution. In this case, you’ll almost certainly get a handjob and perhaps a blowjob, but things are unlikely to go any further. Some so-called “unofficial Chinese massage parlors” also fall into this category. These typically have just one masseuse, or two at most, and often operate out of apartments where the women may also be living temporarily before moving their business to more suitable, dedicated premises.
– The Beauty Center: A more or less spacious venue divided into separate rooms, with one or more professionals offering body care services—ranging from manicures to tanning beds, waxing to exotic skin treatments, and last but not least, massages. Unlike the infamous Chinese massage parlors, the clientele here is predominantly female. However, beauty and self-care treatments are now widely accepted for men too, so for those looking to create an opportunity, there’s no real downside.
If it’s your first time entering a beauty center, just take a look at the services offered and avoid coming across as shady. That said, for various reasons, some of these establishments don’t always welcome male clients with open arms (which, if the roles were reversed, would be called gender discrimination—but when it’s women doing it, apparently it’s fine). So it’s always a good idea to ask whether massages are performed on male clients at that particular center, and more importantly, by whom—because I assume getting massaged by a strapping young man isn’t part of the plan for most people reading this.
Of course, in these places, the final outcome of a Happy Ending is not at all obvious; in fact, it is very difficult to achieve if the center is serious, but over time, as you become a regular client, if the person massaging you finds you pleasant and likable, and you “accidentally” end up with an annoying erection every time, it’s likely that sooner or later you’ll get your reward. Still, it’s always a gamble and there’s no guarantee it will happen—but maybe you’ll find someone who isn’t prudish and actually enjoys doing it.(not suitable for beginners, the hurried, and those without at least a good presence).
– The Wellness Center: Somewhere between a spa and a beauty center, these places offer a wide variety of treatments, including massages—from therapeutic ones for muscle pain to anti-cellulite treatments, all the way to relaxing massages, which are generally the type sought by those hoping for a Happy Ending. Many wellness centers, despite being professional and unsuspecting, offer a wide range of possibilities. Usually, you learn about these details through word of mouth, but if there’s no information available, you just have to try for yourself. You’ll definitely get a clearer idea of the situation and can decide whether it’s worth pursuing or not.
Sometimes the offer is quite explicit; other times, it’s up to you to gauge whether the possibility exists. You can tell by the masseuse’s attitude—whether she “accidentally” lingers around intimate areas, how she reacts to your erection if it happens during the massage, and so on. If the center is reputable and caters to both female and male clients, but you notice positive signals, just come back a couple of times to see how things develop—because it’s unlikely you’ll get a Happy Ending if they don’t know you.
If most clients are male, there’s usually a reason, and it’s likely the masseuse herself will let you know that an extra service can be arranged if you find yourself with a hard-on during the massage. Unfortunately, there are no guarantees, but that’s part of the game and makes things more intriguing. At worst, you’ll have enjoyed a good relaxing massage—possibly delivered by a beautiful girl.
– The Spa: A type of wellness center where water is the central element, typically including saunas and, of course, massages. Many spas are located directly within hotels, ranging from mid-range to luxury, such as those in ski resorts in the Alps, where you often find heated pools that are partly indoors and partly outdoors in the snow. These places are often visited by couples, but there are also many families on vacation. It’s harder to find groups of friends or singles, although exceptions do exist.
Regarding massages, you can book various types. So, if you choose a relaxing massage, you might spend a couple of hours with a young masseuse skillfully working every part of your body in an atmosphere of complete relaxation and absolute privacy. In such a situation, I challenge anyone not to end up with an overwhelming erection when the lady starts massaging your thighs, abdomen, and groin area while you’re wearing nothing but a scanty paper thong. At that point, she will have to deal with that rigid thing causing the sorry little towel covering your intimate area to lift up, and that’s when you can start to gauge if there’s room for an extra treatment in exchange for a generous tip—and with the absolute rule not to talk about it with anyone.
If the masseuse completely ignores the situation and stays professional—meaning she doesn’t acknowledge it in any way and carefully avoids any contact with your erect member—it’s best to quietly enjoy the massage until the end. But if, on the other hand, she starts to give knowing looks or flirty smiles, or makes fleeting touches and brushes that could easily be avoided, then it might be worth throwing out some hints or making suggestive jokes to see if there’s a chance for a special treatment (which usually won’t go beyond a manual Happy Ending).
Of course, reaching this outcome is quite difficult, and if successful, the additional fee won’t be cheap. But for the braver, big-spending massage enthusiasts, it’s an experience worth trying. Difficult and not for everyone—but not impossible. (Personally, it happened to me only once at a hotel spa in Trentino, and I think the girl was quite intrigued by the transgressive idea of giving pleasure to a man while his (my) partner was getting a massage from her colleague in the next room. In fact, before the Happy Ending, no specific price was mentioned—only the possibility of a tip, which ended up being quite generous since the girl was just barely in her twenties and very attractive.)
Thai Massage Parlors: In Thailand, the art of massage is widespread, with various types of massage parlors to suit every taste and budget. So, leaving aside traditional Thai massage, which is very vigorous and sometimes almost painful and, despite its therapeutic benefits, has very little to do with the word “relaxation,” let’s take a look at the most common types of massage parlors in the Land of Smiles and what they have to offer.
– Thai Massage Shop: The classic basic massage parlor where the workers—varying widely in age and looks—stand outside the entrance, all dressed in the shop’s uniform, continuously calling out to passersby. These places are visible from the outside because there’s always a window facing the street, through which you can see the main room where foot massages and massages on various parts of the body are performed—but not full body massages. For those, you’ll be taken to the “hidden” part of the shop, where massage beds are usually separated by partitions or curtains.
After the masseuse has worked on you for a while, the offer of an extra service—or the “special,” as the Happy Ending is often called in these places—will be made. The advantage here is that the massages are decent and cheap. In fact, it’s easy to get a massage plus a manual Happy Ending for about 800 Baht (around 20 euros or a little more).
– Erotic Massage: This type of massage parlor caters almost exclusively to male customers looking to combine the relaxation of a massage with a Happy Ending. Depending on the price, this may involve a classic handjob or blowjob, with all the possible variations, or even full sexual intercourse if this option is included in the price list, which is fairly common but not always guaranteed. As in other establishments of this kind, customers choose the type of service and its duration from the various available options. They then select a masseuse from the girls currently available, who may line up in front of the customer or appear on a tablet with their photos and names. There’s no fixed rule, as it all depends on how the establishment is organized. In many cases, it’s also possible to book an appointment in advance, choosing exactly what you want through the establishment’s LINE contact or website. Generally, the girls are well trained, and the massage itself provides a pleasant prelude to, and accompaniment throughout, the experience leading up to the “grand finale“.
– Teen Massage: As the name suggests, here you’ll generally find young girls in their early twenties or slightly older (up to around 30, keeping in mind that Thai and Asian women in general tend to look younger to our eyes than they really are). This can basically be considered a variant of the “Erotic Massage” centers, but usually with fewer options for different types of massages. The experience is even more focused on the Happy Ending rather than the massage itself.
You’ll rarely find a truly professional massage in these places; sometimes the massage part is reduced to basic movements and little more than caresses aimed at increasing arousal. But obviously, the reason you’d choose this kind of massage center is what comes after the massage, so that’s expected.
-Soapy Massage: The crown jewel of Happy Ending massages in Thailand, establishments offering this type of service are generally well maintained and feature comfortable, spacious rooms equipped with at least a bathtub and a special bed or inflatable mattress where the massage and everything else take place. Essentially, a Soapy Massage begins with a bath, during which the masseuse pampers you and helps you relax. You then move to the massage bed, where, completely naked, she massages you using her entire body, gracefully sliding over yours on a layer of soap suds and giving you some incredible sensations. All this continues until the logical conclusion, which can take various forms: from simply rubbing her body and vulva against your penis (for the more sensitive gentlemen) to full sexual intercourse (if available), should you have greater stamina or prefer a different kind of finish. But those are just details. The experience as a whole is something special, and you really have to try it to fully understand it. The process of choosing a masseuse is the same as at other establishments, but prices are slightly higher than at other types of massage parlors. However, the difference is justified by the service offered and the generally higher standard of the facilities compared to a typical Erotic Massage parlor.
-Nuru Massage: Similar to Soapy Massage but originally from Japan, the main difference lies in the Nuru itself (meaning slippery or smooth in Japanese), a seaweed-based gel that is spread all over the body, allowing the masseuse to glide over her client’s body like an eel. Nuru Massage is now also offered by non-specialized massage parlors, but it’s often included on their price lists simply to attract customers. So, if you’re looking for this particular experience, it’s best to visit one of the few specialized establishments that exclusively offer this type of service. But how exactly does this treatment work? Simple. It starts with a shower, usually together with the masseuse. Then you both move, completely naked, onto a special mattress, where she spreads the gel all over your body before beginning to slide all over you with skillful movements, creating that unique combination of excitement and relaxation that makes this practice so special. Eventually, you reach the desired Happy Ending, which, as with other types of massage, can take various forms depending on the house rules or the service you choose. This is another rather unusual experience that’s worth trying at least once if you get the opportunity. Obviously, Nuru Massage isn’t exclusive to Thailand, but apart from Japan, it’s probably one of the best places to find establishments that have become genuinely specialized in this practice.
How much does a massage with a Happy Ending cost?
A legitimate question that is hard to answer definitively. The options are so many and varied that it’s impossible to pinpoint an exact range, but if we want to give a general guideline regarding the most common average prices in the categories just mentioned, we can say that the price range usually swings from about 70 to 100 Euros (or the equivalent in foreign currency), up to around 150 Euros charged on average by those practicing tantra and in various borderline beauty centers, and even 200 Euros or more if you manage to get it in a more “serious” establishment where the base massage already costs more, plus the appropriate reward for the practitioner who takes all the risks involved. You can spend more or less, but within this range you’ll find a bit of everything.
In conclusion, there are countless types of massage parlors around the world, but as I’ve already mentioned, we don’t deal in hearsay here, so I won’t discuss anything we haven’t personally tried. These are the basics and the most common services you can find pretty much everywhere, along with a few categories specific to the massage capital of the world, Thailand, which also happens to be one of our favorite destinations.
Now that you know more, go and get a massage in peace while waiting for a pleasant Happy Ending.
