Free Massage
The following story is my contribution to LiLu’s TMI Thursdays. This happened during my trip to India at the beginning of this month.
A gentle knock was heard on our hotel door. My two roomies who had been with me on my India journey were fixing eachother’s hair. Michael, a dynamic gay boy from North Carolina with idealist heart and big ideas, placed the hair straightener down and opened the door. It was the hotel manager, wondering when my flight was so he could arrange a taxicab pick-up three hours in advance.
“How are you?” Michael said, enthusiastically. He has a way with Indian men. Their eyes light up every time he speaks, like he was a famous Bollywood celebrity. “Come in!”
We could tell this was a different country when Michael chats it up with the hotel manager and he’s invited in to our room. Colloquial conversations were exchanged and Michael mentioned how he just wanted to find a place that could do a good massage.
“I do massage,” the hotel manager said. “For you good people, I can do it for free.”
Michael went first and the Indian man placed his fingers on his thighs and legs, pressing and squeezing up and down. It seemed like he only spent all of two minutes when he finished and went on to massage Sharon, a beautiful Laotian girl from California. This time, it seemed he took a bit more time, massaging up and down her thighs, the small of her back and waist, and her buttocks. Concentrating idly on her buttocks, he asked in a soft, husky voice “is this OK?”
Ten minutes later, it was my turn. By this time, I realized he favored Sharon over Michael, and her buttocks over anything else and was a bit hesitant. Was this guy really a masseuse in training or just a bit horny? As I lay down on the bed for my turn, he hovered over me and started to massage my legs. His long nails pinched against my skin as he grabbed my thighs. His breathing became heavier, huskier.
“Is this OK?” I tried to nod yes. But in actuality, I’ve had better massages.
He circled my buttocks again and again. His breathing still laborious. Was it the physical activity and exertion or something else? The situation was rather amusing as he continued to massage my butt, still breathing hard, as he grabbed each check in circular motions.
Michael, bless his heart, noticed what was going on and motioned that we were about to leave. “We kinda have to go now…” The hotel manager, realizing this was his cue that he had exhausted his welcome, slapped my waist and then slapped my butt for good measure. I had my free massage and he had his free grope sesh with foreigners.
Smiling from ear to ear, he thanked us for our time. Sharon mentioned her thanks for a great massage. “Anything for you beautiful women,” he replied.
As he walked out the door, the three of us looked at each other and started laughing. “What just happened?” Michael asked.
“I don’t know but this is going on my blog!” I replied.
“I figured it was fine as long as he didn’t start fingering me,” Sharon joked.

Lol wooooow, sketchy and ew! But at least it wasn’t a one-on-one session, so you weren’t in danger. Just in skeeve-land. Blech!

GOOD POINT! would have been wayyy shadier if I was alone.. and not clothed.. haha. *phew* glad I had my roomies.
I like how molestation is okay unless it goes into fingering.
It’s good that I have some guidelines now.

Eeewww, that guy is too horny! I probably won’t even have him touch me at all. But then again, I’m not really into massages. I’m too ticklish, I start laughing the second the masseuse touch my body.

Although wasn’t there an episode of “Will and Grace” where something similar happened? I’m sure Grace was told that she kept all her tension down there…

That was quite funny. I guess strange things can happen while travelling overseas. You never know who you might meet but this story turned out to be perfect for you. I guess the “free massage” was a sign that it was going to be strange. Nicely written.
