Body to body massage in Amsterdam, at a pace you remember choosing

Where it comes from

Full body contact massage is usually linked with the bathhouse traditions of East Asia, where attendants worked with their whole bodies rather than their hands, and it reached European cities through private practice late in the twentieth century. The oil version given here is the simplest of those forms: no water, no gel and nothing to rinse away afterwards.

The technique

Oil goes on first with the hands; then she uses her forearms and body to lengthen each stroke. Weight is used lightly and increased only if you say it is welcome. Movements are slow and continuous, with contact kept between them, and the rhythm is agreed early. Nothing is sudden. Whatever she decides the session includes, she tells you before it starts.

What to expect

She arrives, sits with you for a few minutes and tells you plainly where her limits are. Then the lamp goes on, the towels go down and the oil is warmed. The session opens with ordinary hand work so that you are settled before anything else begins, and it moves into longer, fuller strokes once the pace is established. In the first part she checks in with you in words, and less often later on. When the time is nearly up she says so, and the closing minutes are as unhurried as the rest.

Who it suits

The guest who knows the format from an earlier decade and wants it without the rush he remembers. Travellers who find hands-only oil work pleasant but distant. Anyone booking a second or third time with the house who wants to go one step beyond the plain oil hour.

What it is good for

A warmer, closer version of the oil hour, still given at the pace this site keeps. Guests describe it as the booking that felt least like a transaction and far more like an evening of their own.

At your address

Body to body massage in Amsterdam, oil based and outcall only, to hotel rooms and apartments across the city centre, from one hour to three.

Length

An hour is 180 euros and ninety minutes 270. Ninety minutes suits this format, because the first part goes on settling in and the second deserves time of its own. Two hours at 360 is chosen by guests who would rather not think about the clock at all.
