Naked massage in Amsterdam with the curtains where you want them

Where it comes from

Draping is the modern invention here, not nakedness. Bathing and oiling cultures from the Mediterranean to Japan worked on undraped bodies as a matter of course, and the sheet arrived with the professionalisation of therapeutic massage in the twentieth century, when clinics needed a visible convention that separated treatment from everything else. That was a reasonable thing for a clinic to want. In a private room booked by an adult it is a convention rather than a requirement, and the format simply sets it aside.

The technique

Oil, warmth and continuity govern it, exactly as they govern any oil session. She applies oil generously and reapplies through the hour rather than once at the start. Long flat strokes with palm and forearm along the back and legs, pressure agreed in the first minutes and held after that. The practical difference the format makes is reach: she can work a whole limb in one pass instead of two, and the hour therefore has fewer seams in it. Nothing about the pressure, the pace or the sequence is different from a draped session.

What to expect

She lays her towels down and the session starts on the back, which is where every oil format starts, for the good reason that a back is an easy place to begin from. Work runs long and flat along the back and legs, with one hand in contact through every transition. The absence of draping means she can work the whole length of a limb without stopping to rearrange anything, so the line of the hour is longer and less interrupted than a clinical session can manage. Her limits are set out at the start in her own words and they stand until she leaves. Nothing is expected of you beyond lying still and saying if the pressure is wrong.

Who it suits

The guest who finds the towel ritual more awkward than its absence. Anyone who has had a good massage ruined by ten minutes of adjusting a sheet. People who are warm sleepers, since there is nothing over you. It is not the format for a cold room, and it is not the one to pick if a degree of ceremony is part of what you wanted from the afternoon.

Benefits

People settle faster. That is the whole of it, and it is more valuable than it sounds: the first ten minutes of a massage are usually spent getting over the first ten minutes, and this format simply skips them. The technical benefit is continuity, since nothing interrupts a stroke. Booked at two in the afternoon, with light in the room, it also removes the slight theatre that darkness adds, which some guests very much prefer.

At your address

Naked massage in a hotel room or apartment in central Amsterdam, booked for a late morning or an afternoon, outcall only, sixty or ninety minutes.

Length

Sixty minutes is a complete booking at 180 euros. Ninety at 270 is the length where continuity really shows, because nothing has to be cut short. Two hours works and tends to become a mixed session with slower passages in the middle. It appears inside longer blocks as one part of an afternoon rather than the whole of it.
