Massage exchange review
July 17, 2015

At the beginning it was a wonderful site but then they took away some free items and made it harder and worse to get in touch with people. Now the site is full of people not really wanting to exchange at all.

We're pretty busy always adding new features, usually free. We're not aware of any free items we've taken away. We certainly are always looking for ways to make it easier to connect. We've contacted the author asking them what items they believe we've taken away and to clarify. We're received no reply after 10 days.

I think it would have better reviews if they made their money on advertising and less on the actual users. They are offering a free service, so paying $$$ for a free service to the user doesn't make sense. Even if they wanted to charge just the men on the site, I think people would be more happier with the product. The site is and looks very professional, but I believe people would have a better outcome if they made it free for all and just advertise to make their money. It is a quality site, so I am sure they can make decent money with advertising. I paid for 6 months so wish me luck.

Very Expensive Site
September 30, 2017

Very expensive site for what you get. Many times you receive emails and after you reply your reply is unread because the massage exchange site wants more money. I will not be renewing my subscription after it expires. I would not recommend the massage exchange wedsite to anyone.

A subscription is all that's necessary to communicate. The comment about "wanting more money" makes no sense since there's nothing else needed beyond a subscription. Member should contact our support staff to receive assistance.

Have been a paying Gold member for 3yrs now. I enjoy because it connects me w/ like-minded MT's in my area... If you just go w/ any body for an exchange, however, it is REALLY a crap-shoot as to what yer gonna get, more often than not it'll NOT be a good experience. Being fully trained & licensed, here, I've learned to look@ the "Experience" section of profiles & whether or not someone has attended school or rcv'd training. Those folk are more bankable to a good experience!

Our company has never created fake account and we never will. We also have a rigourous fake account detection. Non-replies can mean: (1) They have read your profile and there is no interest, (2) They don't like your photo, (3) You have no photo, (4) You're too far away to be practical, etc.

Better than nothing
July 17, 2015

I have had some good massage exchanges here but some have been a bust. Not many guys in my area who are interested in exchanging and/or in whom I am interested in massaging.

I've been a member for many years and met wonderful people on this site, some have become lasting friends. While there is so much more to us than bodies, the care and nurture of our bodies is super important to overall health--the basis of it as I see it. Massage Exchange helps this healing interaction to happen. Being able to host yields the greatest satisfaction in my experience.

I found MassageExchange almost 10 years ago with the hope of finding other massage enthusiasts to help improve my skills and to find a community who desire to learn and grow in the art of massage. In the process, friendships can be formed that transcend country borders.

The review feature allows each party the ability to constructively critique one another's ability and where work can be focused. I've even been able to attend massage clinics teaching hands-on techniques in many different modalities.

I would recommend MassageExchange to anyone who is serious about improving the health and well-being of others. And the wonder it does for yourself as well.

I have met some of the most wonderful people through massageexchange.com
I am constantly in awe of the level of friendliness and expertise exhibited and shared by total strangers. This is truly a community of amazing people who believe in and live the massage lifestyle. Whether you are 40, 50, 60, 70 or 80, consider joining this group -- I believe we have discovered the fountain of youth!

A good experience overall
July 18, 2015

I've been a member of MassageExchange for the past 10 years. I haven't always been active but when I have I've met some great people and exchanged many massages. Like any site it takes an effort to make contact and the time to meet. The user interface is intuitive and provides helpful email based notifications. There are a number of users that are not active so you don't always get your emails read or responded to. I have a passion for massage and plan to get my certification later this year. I've learned from several of the members and have established a few long time friendships.

Pretty good site
July 17, 2015

It takes a while to meet people, but I have had some pretty good massage experiences on ME, through perseverance and a dose of good luck. The site is very rarely down and if you are really serious about massage, the cost for gold membership is quite reasonable, IMHO. I think those who go on the freebie plan which limits communication with prospective contacts, get frustrated and quit. Spend a little money so you can really have a conversation with someone and have a great time.

Massageexchange.com: a great, helpful site
July 18, 2015

I have met and exchanged massages with well over two dozen people I have met through massageexchange.com, both locally and as I traveled. The site is helpful, respectful and protective of its members. While any site, one needs to be cautious about whom you meet, I have found primarily good, down to earth, genuine people here--very few flakes to deal with. I have tried several other sites designed to help people meet for massage exchanges, etc. and this is the only one that I actually had luck with, met real people, enjoyed myself but felt fairly safe too. I would highly recommend this site for those into meeting others for learning and exchanging massage.

Great for all Massage Enthusiast
July 19, 2015

This site is great for those who enjoy massage. I usually average at least one massage exchange a week. I have learned that everyone has their own techniques when giving massages and have learned several that I now incorporate into my own massages. Sometimes you need to be proactive in contacting people and coordinating schedules but patience is usually rewarded. Some are better than others but all have been good. No bad experiences and have met some really nice and interesting people. I have found that it is important to be fairly specific in your profile. Some do use this site as a "hook up" site but be clear with your boundaries and it is not a problem.

Exchange with dedicated guys
July 23, 2015

Each exchange I've had has been a great experience. I've learned from each man even when they did not have professional training. It takes some time to get used to how the site works but overall it's been good. Still run into guys who never respond to first email contacts for some reason. I always respond even when I don't want to pursue an exchange with a particular man.

Here you get to list who you are, what you're looking for, and connecting. Of course the free members can only connect with gold members, but you can start free and upgrade later. I do wish the site allowed you to see the color of the member before you email them, because if you're anything other than gold, black members can't read it, and if you're silver, you can only communicate with silver and gold. So to save time and effort, I'd like to be able to see the color of the star of the member. Beyond that, the site is amazing. Classified by location you set, you can exchange with people all over the world. Great for traveling and looking for a massage. The experiences have been incredible. Take the adventure... enjoy the journey!

Reach out and touch someone!
July 18, 2015

We have been members for over 2 years and we have had mostly positive experiences. Massage Exchange has allowed us to receive and exchange massage sessions with others who enjoy similar experiences and no money exchanges hands. Massages can be expensive; but this allows members to enjoy therapeutic or exciting sessions, learn new techniques, and meet some great people along the way.

Awesome website, rubbish members
July 18, 2015

This website is amazing! The idea of connecting people for unpaid massages cannot be matched. Unfortunately people found another use of this website as finding a partner for mutual touch, even sexual activities. And hence more than 90% of the members are males, gay people are among them more than you think. I personally meet +100 males and 4 females in just a few months of my subscription and got great massages but not many good enough to make it up for the bad ones that I got. Suddenly, most of the male members from here are looking to meet another male and experience mutual touching or sex related activities which spoils the meaning of a massage. Also a lot of lying about the age and weight, even fake pictures or very old.

Great massage exchange site!. Update
July 17, 2015

I have been using massage exchange for a few years. Its given me an opportunity to meet other excellent masseurs and enthusiasts. The site is user friendly, affordable, and the customer service team values member opinions. I always recommend massage exchange whenever I get the chance... My update 8/17/20 - I have been a member on Massage Exchange for several years now. I still rate the site 5 stars. This site is a place where massage therapists and enthusiasts can talk and agree to meet in a safe environment for a massage. If people don't answer your message, it's because they are busy, no longer active, can't respond, do not wish to exchange or the profile is fake. I have met some great people and become friends with many. ME is for everyone, all shapes, sizes and colors. Good luck with your search and stay safe if you are looking for a massage partner during the pandemic, many people are not exchanging at this time.

Great experience
July 17, 2015

It's been great experience so far. I've met a lot of good men of the same interests and also managed to learn new techniques. I've made a couple of good mates on the site and regularly exchanges with them.
I highly recommend this website to everyone who enjoys giving and receiving massages.
