What’s your go-to session length for massage?

[+ 7829V]

Just curious, what’s the minimum / maximum you usually book for massage?

For me, I usually go with 90 minutes. That's my preference. If the provider is new and has no feedback here, I’ll start with 60. A few providers offer 120 minutes and I really enjoy those. There’s only one provider I book for 180 minutes, a full 3 hours. He says he can go longer, but I’ve never pushed past 180.

What about you? What’s your usual preference? 🙂

Minimum 90 minute massage, 2 hours is great.

[DenverDad]

90 mins also.

[Chien Andalou]

I only book an hour the first time. In the past, I have been burned on time or I haven’t loved the experience. So I wait until I know I want to spend the extra time with, and the extra cash on, the provider before making that commitment. I have sometimes asked if the guy had anything booked immediately after our session and extended our time while on the table.

I like 90 - especially for sensual/erotic. But I usually go for one hour the first time. 

[big-n-tall]

90 mins and on the rare occasion offers more than 90... 2 hrs.

[+ JamesB]

For a massage session I prefer 90 minutes.  If it’s my first time with a masseur, I’ll usually start with a 60 minute session to see if we’re a good match. I’ve had a couple that were so underwhelming that I was wishing they would sort me on time. If we are talking massage and play, I prefer 90 min maybe 2 hours, depending on the provider. I think that 60 minutes massage and 30 min play time works rather well for me.

[dcguy20]

90 minutes. I've noticed I can't be on my stomach for more than 45 minutes before I start feeling uncomfortable. 

[jeezifonly]

90m when provider is known, or recommended here. 60m first time if I'm unsure of skills, or want to test for chemistry  before hiring him for full service when both are offered. 

[Whippoorwill]

Along with most of the rest of you, 90 minutes for an erotic massage is my preference. A first time, 60 minutes unless the masseur has a slew of five star reviews for 90 minute massages. 

[mtaabq]

90 mins is the “sweet spot” for me, whether for massage or for “play”. Two hours if there’s a hot tub involved. 

[corndog]

I usually book 90-minutes. That usually ends up being about 60 minutes face down, and I find that much time face down in the face cradle usually causes a stuffy nose and congestion, so I'm relieved to turn over so I can breath again. Am I the only one that has this problem face down?

[simongayx]

Interesting that the consensus is for 90 minutes.   Me too.   In my experience, the massage rarely begins on time, so the actual time on the table is typically less.   And I also prefer a little break in the middle for some water.    

[Whippoorwill]

Like Corndog, I always have a stuffy nose when I turn over.

Haha. Me too... 

I like when I doze off

[Nue2thegame]

Sometimes my nose gets congested but, depending on how things are progressing, it’s more often the congestion in my groin that makes me want to turn over. 

[+ nycman]

90 minutes. 

Which I occasionally regret.

[ChrisTravel]

I prefer 90 min for massage experiences. If it is ultimately not a match or the experience is going poorly, my view is that I can end the session early at any time and pay the provider their full fee for their time (assuming something absolutely egregious didn't occur).

[pubic_assistance]

I am in agreement with @7829V @Chien Andalou @KensingtonHomo @JamesB @jeezifonly &@Whippoorwill 

90 minutes is the sweetspot. But prefer a trial run of 60 minutes as the gentlemen above have mentioned.

Especially if its a mix of therapeutic and erotic massage, 60 minutes can feel rushed. 

The only two hour sessions I've ever booked were with a provider who was also very skilled at "milking/cum control" and always got me to shoot my load three times within two hours. Sadly he moved back to Thailand...and have never found anyone else so skilled at multiple orgasm play.

Nope I have the same congestion problem as well! Seems to be a common thing.

I do 60 mins as a trial run then move onto 90 mins the next usually.

A quick spray before the session. Simple and effective.

Be careful with this stuff, it's a huge relief for opening up your nasal passages, but if you use it more than a day or two in row, it's easy to form a kind of addiction to it (known, I believe, as a rebound effect). At that point you'll suffer from congestion whenever you're not using it, and it's taken me months to ween myself off of it. That said, I now use it occasionally before a massage and as @JamesB said, it helps a lot.

Also known as 4-way.

 

[Becket]

I'm a one hour guy. I enjoy it but find myself getting bored, especially if the provider is spending too much time on areas of my body that don't seem to enjoy massage. Sure, massage my arms a bit, but fifteen minutes there and I'm ready to get up. (BTW, did I ever tell you about the time when I was getting massaged and had a terrible urge to fart? Sorry, just being passive aggressive because I caught a lot of flack here about that. Never mind.)

[Mark_fl]

I'd like a longer first session in order to get comfortable with someone.  I would want to start with a massage and some talking before I'd jump into sexual acts with someone I don't know. 

After that first go around, I think an hour would be fine.

[RugbyBen]

90 minutes is my sweet spot for the most part and has been for years. 

That said I saw a guy for the first time about 18 months ago and booked 2 hours as the rate was so good and ended up having an incredible time. 

So I always book 2 hours with him and have tried it with other guys but thinking I'll go back to 90 minutes with everyone but him.
