I signed up a few years ago, suspicious I used a different name. I posted in the Portland area, so got several quick responses. Yes, they homosexual community uses it, obvious. But, there are regular people also, and I did manage a few connections, all of them OK to a couple of them excellent. There is nudity, of course, and sensual touch, of course, no different than meeting someone anywhere and becoming friends. It's worth the effort, just be honest about what you are looking for.
I have been there for over a year. Not that easy to find a compatible person. There are many members listed that have not been there in ages. You MUST buy tokens or membership to be able to reply or send messages. Many members cannot host, that eliminates many potential partners. I rarely got replies to emails I sent. At best 5%. On the bright side its 1000% better than free rub. Free rub is a total waste of time and money

This site is one giant cash grab. With no filtering of messages most women on the site are bombarded with requests from people with no intention of getting a massage. So they turn off messaging and select email only. They also rarely upgrade, according to the website itself. This means you have to purchase the highest tier subscription to have any hope of making contact. As only that level allows replies from free members.
It's not all bad. Search functionality is good. With lots of useful filters. And their are a good number of members on the site overall.

Il nostro sito è in inglese, quindi attrae principalmente paesi di lingua inglese.

Our site is in English so attracts primarily English-speaking countries.
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.
As my title says really,, the benefit does not out weigh the cost,- in my experience.
Maybe they need to look at lowering the cost and increasing membership,,
In 3 years only about 5 massages, a waste of money for me. It could be my fault, but for me no more.
I have contacted numerous individuals over the years as I travel.
Most of the time, I have received little or no response.
I would expect at least a reply that said not interested or not available during that time etc. This is not a fault of the Exchange. Just the caliber of the people who have joined it. I might not renew next time because it has become a waste of time to try to communicate with no responses.
The site forces you in to paying to really get anywhere. If it was a more modest fee I wouldn't mind, but what you pay for what you get doesn't add up to value.
Pros:
1. Can pay by subscription or by contact.
2. If you upload a primary photo, they are very specific that it's a large clear face pic.
Cons:
1. Regarding #2 above, they don't require you to upload a primary photo... so a LOT of blank profiles.
2. I realize there are a LOT of people that probably like knowing they are viewed. To me, it means nothing, a complete waste of time. I view other profiles like I look at new clothes in the store... I pick up a lot, look it over, and put it back on the rack. It doesn't mean I'm shy, coy, or playing hard to get. So sending other people notices that I viewed them is very annoying to me. In addition, receiving notices that others have viewed me, is just as annoying. If sites are going to do this, they should at least allow you to control these outgoing and incoming "viewed" notices.
3. Right after I created a profile but before I uploaded a picture I immediately received an email request by a very goodlooking young guy to upload a picture (I'm gay btw). I now realize and highly suspect it was a FAKE profile and the request was automatically generated by the system. I don't like sites that mess with your feelings and your head.
Regarding #2: Viewed notices can be disabled in member's preferences
Regarding #3: ME creates NO fake accounts. WE NEVER send fake system e-mails. The e-mail you received was from a real member interested in you. It's regrettable that you imagined it was fake. It was real.

MassageExchange.com is a community of bodyworkers, bodywork students, and massage enthusiasts to network, practice, explore new bodywork modalities, and exchange massage and other bodyworks for free. Now with nearly 200,000 members and growing rapidly.
When I first started my massage practice, I'd exchange massages with my fellow classmates frequently. Slowly, however, my massage friends either moved away or left the trade. Sadly, this massage giver was receiving fewer and fewer massages himself.
One day, with a particularly bad back ache, I realized that I had no-one to trade with. Unfortunately, trying to network with others in order to find trading partners proved difficult, time consuming, often even embarrassing, and ultimately unsuccessful.
An idea was born — Why not a massage networking site for those looking for massage exchange partners?
I should mention that we have a generous "Connection Guarantee". See https://www.massageexchange.com/tips/guarantee.asp
