“It can be good if you are careful”

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.

“Not as great as it seems”

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

I am a straight guy and due to the internet being full of guys more than ladies it is difficult to find ladies to work on or exchange with. I have been receiving massage for 20 + years and performing massage myself for around 5 years now. I love the contacts you can find and connections you can make. All the issues make the good ones that more special when you do find them. I have 6 ladies I exchange with now and have become friends, plus a number of customers. Lovely to know and make new friends.
I am Lovenatural73 on there.
Take care all

Massage Exchange is a great site to match up with other massage enthusiast. I still go for my regular spa massage treatments with my professional masseuse or masseur when my schedule permits. Yet, over the past twelve years this site has been a valuable experience assisting in facilitating meeting civilized really nice males, females and couples.

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.

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!

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!

Tip for consumers:
You can start for FREE! Some folks consider this site expensive, but it pays for itself (if you work it) with a handful of FREE massages.

I have used massageexchange.com for close to 6 years, in both New York and California. I have found it to be a convenient and expedient way to find like-minded enthusiasts of reciprocal massage and sensual touch.

Simply put, you can look at people's profiles, their self-assessed skill level, and their experience level, and choose whether or not to contact them for a massage. On the other end of that same equation, you can be the recipient of a request for a massage exchange from a member who has been intrigued by your profile, and you can choose, based on their profile, whether or not to accept the offer of an exchange.

The typical exchange occurs in one of the two people's homes, and the typical flow is one person receives a massage, and the other administers it. Then the situations are reversed. Of course, the dynamic is malleable and can be modified as circumstances dictate.

I probably set up an exchange on this site about once a month at most. Nevertheless it has almost always been a positive experience. Conversations are held via email onsite as to what expectations are, what expertise levels are sought, what the balance of sensual and therapeutic touch will be. By the time the massage begins, each person has a pretty good idea of what to expect and how the next hour or so will transpire.

There are many people on the site who have been active for quite some time, and that is perhaps the best testament that it works well for those who use it. The only way to know if it works for you is to give it a try. You may be surprised how satisfying it can be, and the your own expertise in administering massages will increase significantly with every new exchange you experience.

After reading other reviews, I would add to this review that the free service is nearly worthless. I'd encourage anyone to give the site a trial run on the paid subscription level so that you can truly enjoy the benefits of mutual massage. The free service will only frustrate your efforts and probably turn you away from what is a very handy tool for discretely finding local people to enjoy both sensual and therapeutic touch with.

Been a member of Massage Exchange for a while now. It's a wonderful platform to meet other likeminded individuals who enjoy giving and receiving massages. I have learned so many new massage modalities from others. Highly recommended.

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 been a member of the website for approximately five years. During that time I have conversed with and met many individuals regarding massage exchanges. Like all social media sites; one must do your own "due diligence" regarding the person with whom you are corresponding. Effective communication is the key - along with having a DETAILED profile. Members with just a few sentences in their profile are usually not a good contact. My membership has permitted me to make some nice friends with whom we trade on a regular basis. This is so much cheaper than hiring professionals. A lot of "amateur" massage enthusiasts are pretty good at an exchange. TELL the person what you want: "more pressure", "slow down". Give it a try... after a couple of trades, the membership fee pays for itself.

I have been a member of this site for over 4 years, and have met many genuinely lovely people from here, who are all interested in the same thing. Meeting up to exchange a relaxing massage.

It's a safe space that allows you to get in touch with like minded people.

Would recommend it. 5 stars

After only a day on this site, I exchanged a massage with a professional massage therapist and it was awesome. Well worth the membership fee. Its free to join but to answer emails there is a fee, so in order get the best use of the site, pay the fee. I am super happy with MassageExchange.

I am a fairly new member and have been anonymously communicating with massage professionals and enthusiasts around the world. Locally I am communicating with ME members in my area and setting up free massage exchange dates. The search function is efficient and locates your filtered preferences of partners by city and distance radius. Perfect site for travelers looking to exchange in various locations. The site is monitored for fraudulent posters which are promptly removed. There is a free membership option, but only paying members can communicate with all members. Although it does take some time and effort to find the right massage partners, it is rewarding and worth the membership fee. It is also a very good excuse to get fit and loose weight. Happy ME gold member Stressbuster56.

The site is a little expensive for what you get, but the folks that I've met over the years have been friendly and the experiences are mostly good. It is a good way to meet friends for a massage exchange, and it does a good job of vetting.

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.

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.

Gain trust and grow your business with customer reviews.

From the business

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.

Business History

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?
