Wanting to put to rest any further speculation about the precise nature of the Tantric Massage service offered by
Spa Bangkok in Silom Soin 3 (Soi Pipat), I went to find out for myself last weekend. Following is my unbiased report.
Spa Bangkok is located in Akarak Building, a rather dilapidated three-story building in Silom Soi 3 (Soi Pipat). The building is located approximately 500 metres into the Soi on the left-hand side. There is a “Spa Bangkok” sign out the front which is easy to spot.
One enters from street level via a flight of stairs. Continue from the top of the stairs to the back of the building and go up another flight of stairs, do a u-turn at the top, and Spa Bangkok is located on the right. I arrived at around 4PM. I had booked ahead as they say on their website that it is advisable to do so, particularly for the tantric massage. I booked by sending them an email via their website (details at the bottom of this post).
The reception area is quite small. Counter at one end and a sofa for waiting customers opposite. There are eight massage rooms in all, three downstairs and five upstairs. There is a small but nicely appointed changing area with eight lockers on the middle floor.
The receptionist, who also happened to be the guy who performed my massage, asked me if I knew what the tantric massage was. I said yes and that I had read the information on the website. I was asked to take a seat on the sofa and was given a glass of iced water. I was also asked to complete a questionnaire which, as well as asking you your age, included the following questions (
verbatim thanks to my trusty iPhone):
1. What best describes your penis? (a) circumcised (cut) or (b) uncircumcised (uncut)
2. If you are uncircumcised (uncut), how is your foreskin? (a) can be retracted or (b) can’t be retracted.
There is a note which sates that “if foreskin can’t be retracted, the tantric massage cannot be given”
3. Do you have any known diseases? (Please specify)
4. Do you have problem with penile erection? Yes or no.
5. Do you have premature ejaculation? Yes or no.
6. Have you ever had a tantric massage before? Yes or No
In addition to the questionnaire, you are also given a laminated A4 sheet of paper explaining the various “techniques” that make up the tantric massage. The tantric massage is comprised of 30 "techniques", each performed in order from 1 to 30. Each technique is given a name and explained in somewhat amusing detail.
Here is a small sample of some of the techniques used during the massage.
Anointing with Oil – Start by oiling the genital area and the corridor up to the heart.
Belly Circles – The hand does full palm circles on the abdomen.
Core Vibrations – Vibrate the perineum with the heel of palm and fist.
Nipple Circles – Men’s nipples can be awakened as places of exquisite pleasure.
Ring Balls – Circle the scrotum with thumb and index finger between the balls and the body.
Juicer – Pull the skin down towards the base of the penis and juice the head.
Fire – While penis is straight up rub with different speeds between the palms.
Carpe Diem – Stroke the penis toward the heart and at the same time tug the balls toward the feet.
After reading this you might imagine that I was even more fascinated about what was about to happen.
I was escorted to the change room where I removed my clothes and put on a robe (quite a short one - looked rather sexy with my long legs). With fresh fluffy white towel in hand I was then taken to the lower floor and asked to shower. Once done, I went into the massage room, removed my robe and got onto the massage table.
The room is quite basic. Dark wood and a standard massage table. A chair on which to place one's robe and towel. One lays on one's back only for this massage so no need for a face well. A pillow is placed under your head for comfort.
When the therapist entered he dimmed the lights and placed a cool face towel across my eyes. He then proceeded to gently touch my naked body with his hands, sweeping his fingers very gently along my torso, my shoulders, touching my nipples, and gently brushing my pubic hair and testicles. I must say that I found this gentle touching very erotic and quite loving - if that makes any sense.
Then the massage began following the 30 tantirc techniques. Before he started he said asked me to tell him if I was about to come so he could slow down and/or adjust his movements accordingly. During the 45 minute session I had to tell him five times that I was about to ejaculate. The feelings were very intense. Each time, he adjusted his rhythm and technique so that I did not ejaculate.
As you might imagine, I was finding it hard to cope by the end. My whole body felt like it was tingling. It was quite an extraordinary feeling.
He then announced that he was ready to perform the last technique and what followed I shall leave to your imagination. I left feeling very relaxed, indeed. I understand that there are two therapists qualified to perform the tantric massage. I did not ask the name of the one that did mine but I believe that he was straight as at one point early on during general chit chat he mentioned his wife and child.
At no time was there any sexual contact with the masseur. That is not the aim of this massage.
Overall, I found the experience very satisfying and I will definitely be back again for another tantric massage at some juncture. He suggests every 10 days to awaken the sexual chakras and to help with premature ejaculation – which I have had a problem with at times. He did comment that he thought my control was not bad at all and that my premature ejaculation problem was not substantial. However, I did not tell him that I usually only have that issue when fucking. I cannot seem to last very long at all - which makes me a rather lousy top. Obviously, I need to practice more. I wonder if a cock ring or something similar might help? But, I digress.
I asked about other massages and they seem to have the standard fare, as well as a sensual body massage – which states a “service fee” for the masseur of THB 1,000. One can imagine what this might be for, no doubt. Also, I can confirm that all massage therapists are male – one of whom arrived for work while I was waiting on the sofa. He was very cute, indeed!
Tantric massage is not cheap - if one compares it with the standard THB450 oil massage etc.. It is THB 1,200 for 45 minutes –
but the catch it that it is only available to members. I believe that temporary 5-day memberships are available (not sure how much) but I purchased a yearly membership for THB 2,500. More details are available on their website.
