Body to body massage in an airport hotel room

Body to body massage is full contact oil work in which she uses her body as well as her hands, with nothing to rinse away afterwards. That makes it a useful middle ground in an airport hotel: warmer and closer than ordinary oil work, but without the gel and shower that nuru needs. It suits a compact room, because it asks for no more space than a bed, and it suits an evening that has to end in sleep, because once she leaves there is nothing to clean. The oil is the same warm oil used in sensual massage, and the pace is similarly slow. The difference is the breadth of contact, which spreads warmth across the whole body at once and suits a traveller who has spent the day cold in a cabin and on a moving walkway.

Where it comes from

The format grew out of oil massage in the cities of South East Asia, where therapists began using their forearms and body weight to spread warmth over a wider area. It has since become a familiar booking in European cities. The technique is simple; what makes it distinct is the breadth of contact rather than any special equipment.

The technique

Warm oil is applied generously, first with the hands and then with the forearms. She uses her body weight to glide across the back and legs, keeping pressure broad and even. Movements are long and connected. She keeps the skin warm by reapplying oil before it runs dry, so the glide never catches.

What to expect

She arrives, sets up the room with the lamp and the heating, lays her towels across the bed and states her limits before starting. The session begins as an oil massage, with hands on the back and legs, and gradually widens as she brings her forearms and body into the strokes. The contact is broad and warm and never hurried. Conversation fades quickly. When the time is up she leaves the room tidy, and the oil can stay on the skin until morning.

Who it suits

The guest in a compact room who wants more than oil work but has no shower to spare. The traveller who is cold after the flight. Anyone who wants to fall asleep soon after she leaves. It is a good second booking for someone who has tried sensual massage and liked it.

Benefits

Warmth reaches the whole body at once, which suits a guest who is cold as well as tired after a long flight. The closeness of the contact is calming in a way that hands alone are not. Because there is nothing to clean up, sleep can follow directly.

Length

An hour makes a full session of it. Ninety minutes lets the pace stay unhurried. Two hours belongs to an evening when the room is the only place you plan to be.
