Nobody seemed to think that there was anything unusual about this picture, and customers simply walked around the impromptu massage setup. When I mentioned that I would like a massage also, everyone in the store erupted with appreciative laughter.
Today I went to a restaurant for dinner. There were no customers inside, but an unusual scenario was happening. One of the restaurant cooks was lying face down on one of the wooden benches in the dining area, and the other cook (both female) was standing on her co-worker's thighs and was walking up and down her legs and buttocks while clinging to the curtain next to her to keep her precarious balance.
When I walked in on this scene, all the employees broke out into heart-felt laughter. I told them to go right on doing their massage, which they did. The restaurant manager was right there and did not take any issue with his employee's extracurricular activities. Imagine such a scene in an American restaurant!
I have seen similar scenes countless times in Thailand. In all my travels I have never seen any country where spontaneous massage was happening as naturally and frequently as in Thailand. Thai Massage therapists set up shop anywhere: on the beach, on the sidewalk in the middle of busy markets, on rickety wooden platforms during festivals. And there are established massage shops all over the place where you can get a one hour session for $5.
On the higher end there are lots of fabulous spas with gorgeous decors and beautiful settings. There is no valid excuse to not treat yourself to lots of bodywork in Thailand.
Massage in Thailand is often a very public and social activity. Since Thai Massage is done fully dressed, there is no need for private massage rooms. Many times people will gather around a massage session-in-progress, chat, eat and watch. Nobody thinks that there is anything strange about that.
This easy availability of massage is one of the most enjoyable aspects of visiting Thailand. Thai Massage is not considered a luxury like in the West. It is often seen as a necessity to maintain good health, and as one of the good things in life that many Thais treats themselves to on a regular basis.
Here is an interesting tip: Use your Thailand trip as a spa adventure and cultural experience. Sample many different massage places, spas, and individual therapists. Since the cost of massage is so much lower than in the western world, affordability is not an issue. Besides experiencing all the treatments, it is also a great way to get to know the Thai people, hear their life stories, and even make friends.
Therapists in Thailand are generally very happy to talk to you, and many speak some English. You can learn a lot about Thailand, its culture and way of living by paying $5.- for a one hour massage with a therapist who speaks some English.
The female body has numerous erogenous zones, or hot spots that when sexually stimulated can give her amazing orgasms. Today in Female Sexual Anatomy 101 we'll learn about the C-spot, the G-spot and the A-spot. Oh, and even the U-Spot.
The C-spot (Also known as the Fabulous Clitoris)
The clitoris is the number one hot spot on the female pleasure zone and 70% of women get off from clitoral stimulation. The only organ designed solely for pleasure, this small sensitive glans is located just under where the top of the inner vaginal lips meet.
The clitoris has over 8000 sensitive nerve endings, which is more than any other part of the human body, including the male penis. For this reason, it can be extremely sensitive until a woman is completely aroused, so start with foreplay first on other areas of the body--the lips, the breasts, the vulva--before attacking the clitoris.
While some women want and need direct stimulation of the clitoris, for other women this can be uncomfortable and even painful. So again, start slow, use lots of lube, and circle your way around the clitoris before touching the sensitive glans directly.
Many women find the top right hand side of the clitoris is very sensitive so try this spot using a lubricated finger, tongue or vibrator to stimulate her. If her clitoris was a clock, the hot spot would be at 10:30pm. Try focusing on different time zones around her little clock and watch her body language as she responds. Or ask her to tell you which area feels best to her.
Nerves from the clitoris travel through the vagina, the bladder and urethra, passing along any sensations produced in that area. This means that clitoral orgasms are closely related to G spot orgasms, even though they feel much different.
The G Spot (or Infamous G Spot)
The infamous G-spot, or Grafenberg Spot, (also known as the Female Prostate) is talked about a lot, but for most women it remains elusive. It is an extremely sensitive area on the front wall inside the vaginal canal approximately one to two inches up, near the bladder. It was first described it as "an erotic zone located on the anterior wall of the vagina along the course of the urethra that would swell during sexual stimulation."
That seems easy enough, so why it is so hard to find? The G spot is often elusive because in its sexually "un-stimulated" state it doesn't feel pleasure and it very small. But once aroused, the G spot will begin to swell with fluid, and a wrinkly, prune-like tissue (the urethral sponge) will make itself noticeable to touch. It will also start to feel pleasurable to be touched.
Like most forms of sexual arousal, it is better to warm her up first with foreplay, then trying to search for the G spot right away. Once your lover is aroused, you can then insert two fingers, or a G spot dildo in her vagina to stimulate the G spot. And, clitoral stimulation before and during G spot arousal works to get the G spot excited as well.
To stimulate the G spot with your fingers make sure they are well lubricated and your nails are trimmed short (or use a glove and lots of lube). Insert your fingers 1"-2" inside the vagina and feel for the puffy, wrinkly sponge-like spot just blow her pelvis. The G spot will feel somewhat like the roof of your mouth when feeling it with your tongue, whereas the surrounding tissue will feel like the insides of your cheeks, very smooth. There you've found it.
Start by using a "come hither" motion with your fingers to gently massage the G spot, and add firm pressure when she begins thrusting her hips towards you. The G spot craves firm pressure and thrusting when it is very aroused. A firm, curved dildo or vibrator made for G spot pleasure will also work well for this technique.
When a woman is ready to orgasm via G spot stimulation she may ejaculate so be prepared. Absorbent towels are good to have handy. The force of the orgasm may also push your fingers or any toy out of the vagina as well.
The U-Spot. What is it?
The U-Spot is a very small ridge of sensitive tissue that is found on either side of the urethral opening and above it. This area is highly erotic for some women when caressed lightly with a finger, tongue or soft vibrator. The U-spot is highly sensitive, so be very careful when stimulating it and use plenty of lube. And, like any form of sexual stimulation, ask your partner what feels good and try varying speed, pressure and type of stimulation.
Also note, because this area is connected to the urethral (and the female prostate gland), stimulating it may make the woman feel like she needs to urinate. If that is not a sensation she wants to feel, you may want to look at this site avoid this area. However, together with G spot stimulation, pleasuring the U-spot can be very erotic and help coax the ejaculate out when she is about to orgasm.
Bonus Hot Spot- The A-Spot
The A-spot is a sensitive patch of tissue at the very end of the vaginal tube above the cervix and below the bladder. Also known as the 'female degenerated prostate', direct stimulation of this area can produce "violent orgasmic contractions". Believe me, you will know when you hit it.
Pressure on this area produces rapid lubrication of the vagina, even in women who are not normally sexually responsive. This spot can only be hit during vagina intercourse, or with a long slightly curved dildo. The best position for hitting this spot via sex is doggie style.
So, now you know all three (actually four) of the most sensitive sexual parts of the female body and how to stimulate them. Just image if there was a hot spot for every letter in the alphabet? Who knows, maybe there is.
