Shamelessmack in Thailand and around

April 2009:

I’m going to have a hard time rating this one, I thought to myself halfway through the session. As proper massages go, this is far from what it should be. Yet I am enjoying every moment of this immensely, which can only mean he’s doing something right. Very right!

Once again, I had ordered a two-hour scrub+massage session at Candle T Spa, a place where I have never, and I mean never, been disappointed.

I selected Yod from the photo album, in which there were 19 boys featured, of which 10 were said to be available. There was something about the smile that had me smitten, though the body was nothing outstanding.

He began the massage well enough, with some warm-up presses through a warm towel, followed by medium firm effleurage and other standard Swedish strokes. Like many in Candle T Spa, he applied long strokes, e.g. starting from the back of the thigh, sweeping up to the shoulder blades and back down again.

But when he got to the (back of) legs, I noticed that the pressure had lightened considerably. Hand strokes were also interspersed with finger teasing – to very sensual effect – and it wasn’t long before the occasional brushing of the groin and scrotum became devoted attention to these parts.

After the turnover, there was more of the same, eventually becoming a focussed chuckwow. I also noticed that by then, his T-shirt had come off, though his traditional-style baggy pants were still on.

A chuckwow would spoil everything, I decided. There’s no subtlety in it. So I told him I didn’t want to come; instead he should continue to play my entire body like a harp. OK, I didn’t quite say it like that, because he wouldn’t have understood, but he got my message and gave me many minutes more of sheer bliss.

Technical standard of the massage: 7/10. Sensuality rating 9/10.

Yod, 25, was about 167 cm tall, 63 kg he said (but he looked more than 60 kg to me), and an S1. He had a sweet smile, and was handsomely (foolishly, madly) tipped despiteit being a no-sex session.

Candle T Spa does not have a salubrious location. I mean, it’s in a parking garage, for goodness sake. Once inside the shop however, everything is cool and peaceful. The world is shut out, the service always excellent.

I don’t know if all the rooms are the same, or if I got a special room because I ordered a scrub+massage, but the one assigned to me had an ensuite shower, spotlessly clean, with a good flow of hot water. The massage itself was done on a raised bed with a face-well. Lighting in the room was placed correctly (low) and subdued with appropriate shading.

With a scrub+massage, I showered three times, and each time was given a fresh towel. Few places compare.
