Clicked on this Vlog on YouTube during one of the casual browsing session. It was about Thai Massage and the Malayalee guy who made this, explained all aspects of Thai massage – good enough to clear the dubious and twisted thoughts we Keralites think about a massage in Thailand.
It’s true that Thailand and massage are now talked in the same breath. Also, most holiday seekers from Kerala are going to Thailand with only one intention – a happy ending massage or something on those lines. After all, we need a place to download all the \ repressed or suppressed or bottled emotions or even closeted thoughts. Where else, but to these freedom lands of the east.
I have never been to Thailand, but I have been to Thai Massage. My first experience was in Bombay when my Boss took all of us for a feel good leg massage. After this massage experience in B’day I got inducted to the relaxing world of getting a massage.
Sucker for Massage
I know many who are not the massage type. They said they get ticklish when someone touches their body or they are not comfortable when someone touches their body.
But I’m not that type. I feel good when I get a good head scrub or a feet massage. However, in Trivandrum or other places in Kerala, massage are not seen in good light. Especially when a lady does the massage.
Also, all the Ayurveda places in Kerala doesn’t offer cross massage. Why can’t the traditional Ayurveda places offer a choice? If a lady likes to get a Abhyanga or Shiro abhyanga or Marma therapy from a trained man, then give her an option. But, we know most men, given a chance would divert from massage to something else. Well, NOT ALL! We can train masseurs to be professional and the customers too should keep their word, unless it’s okay for both!
What’s the big deal! After all, we are descendants who are from the land of Kamasutra and Tantra and all those pleasurable Apsaras. Forget about our old civilization – we are neither here nor there! Completely screwed with our own version of morality, culture and values.
