Body to body massage in Amsterdam in a room you are both living out of

Where it comes from

Contact work of this kind moved into western outcall practice from Japanese and Thai bathhouse formats, losing the bath and keeping the contact. What made it travel was the absence of equipment. A format that needs only oil, towels and a warm room is a format that can be carried to a guest, and the guests who wanted it turned out overwhelmingly to be people in rooms rather than people willing to go to premises.

The technique

Oiled full contact, with the therapist's forearms, body and weight taking over from the hands as the session opens out. Pressure comes from distribution rather than from force, and the strokes stay long. The absence of gel changes the feel: oil grips slightly where gel slides, so the work is warmer and less slippery, and it stays controllable on a bed rather than needing a flat surface on the floor. Two therapists in a room keep to a shared tempo so both sessions end within a minute or two of each other.

What to expect

The room needs nothing beyond warmth and a bed. Towels go down, oil is warmed, and the session opens with ordinary hands on work before the contact widens out. That progression is deliberate: the format does not start where it finishes. With one therapist and two guests, she moves between you and the transitions are hers to manage. Each therapist names her limits at the start of the visit in her own words, and they hold to the end of it regardless of what else is agreed in the room. Oil is used generously, so the towels do the work the bathroom would otherwise have to. It finishes at the booked hour and, unlike the gel formats, it finishes with nobody needing to stand in a shower first.

Who it suits

A second evening, once the two of you know the room. A couple who want more contact than a hands only session and less production than a gel one. Any night followed by a morning that matters. It suits an ordinary double bed. It does not suit a guest who came specifically for the weight and slide of gel, which is nuru and is on its own page, and it does not suit a room where the bed is against a wall if two therapists are booked.

What it is good for

It gives most of what couples want from a contact format without any of the logistics. No shower has to be usable, no floor has to be clear, and the morning is not affected. For a room the two of you saw for the first time that afternoon, that is worth a great deal, and it is why this is the format most often suggested when a couple asks for something more than oil work but has an early flight at the end of the trip.

At your address

Body to body massage for a couple in central Amsterdam, oil and full contact with no gel and nothing to rinse, outcall to a hotel room or apartment across the centre.

Length

It is taken for an hour, ninety minutes or two hours; a therapist each doubles the couple figure at every one of those lengths, and a single guest pays half of it. Ninety minutes suits it better than sixty, because the opening stretch of hands on work is part of the format rather than a preamble to be rushed.
