The opposite of outcall massage in Shanghai is shanghai incall massage, massage performed at a fixed location like a massage studio or spa. As a general rule, if a therapist offers incall and outcall treatments, the rates will be higher, because outcall involves more work for the therapist. In some cases, Shanghai massage therapists will offer only outcall massage, keeping their overhead costs low, and they may be able to offer competitive rates when compared with incall massage in Shanghai.
Because massage therapy is unfortunately sometimes confused with the sex industry, so most Shanghai female massage therapists (masseuse)who offer Shanghai outcall massage are generally cautious and very clear with their clients. When a client calls to make an appointment, the therapist will ask how long the client wants the session to go, and what kind of massage he or she desires. The therapist will also specify rates, and he or she may also remind the client that sexual services are not offered. In some cases, a Shanghai massage therapist will only offer outcall massage at home to trusted clients, or to clients who have been recommended by other therapists.
You can typically find listings for massage therapists in Shanghai who offer outcall in the phone book, and if the therapist's listing does not specify, you can call and ask. If you know that you will be traveling and you would like to receive a massage in your hotel, feel free to contact me for recommendations or ask to have a massage appointment set up for you. Also, listings can also be found through professional associations of Shanghai massage therapists; these come with the added benefit of ensuring a basic level of training and professional development which must be maintained by massage therapists who wish to join such organizations.
Massage etiquette for Shanghai outcall massage is much the same as etiquette for incall massage, with a few additions. Take the time to clear the site where you will receive your massage, leaving ample room for the therapist to set up a table and work. You should also encourage children, pets, and housemates to entertain themselves elsewhere for the duration of your massage. Make sure to give your Shanghai massage therapist clear directions to the site, and if you have locked gates or entries, leave them unlocked or meet the massage therapist to unlock them. If you have household staff or you are receiving a massage at a hotel, alert the staff to the fact you are expecting a massage therapist.
