5.0 out of 5 stars Instructional and professional, June 20, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Massage Your Mate [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is an excellent instruction video done by a licensed professional massage therapist. Massage involves touching, but this video is non-sexual. It is difficult to understand why someone would buy a massage video if they are offended by touching. I saw nothing offensive here. It is strictly professional.

5.0 out of 5 stars Massage Your Mate, November 13, 2004

This review is from: Massage Your Mate (DVD)

I have been a Certified Massage Therapist for over 10 years, and I bought this video to help my husband learn some massage techniques to use on me. As far as some of the other reviews are concerned, I'm glad I didn't listen to the negative ones. I'm not sure what some of the reviewers were watching, but if there was sexual content they were NOT watching this video. This video is 100% family friendly- no inappropriate draping (the people receiving massage were partially clothed and covered with a towel), no massage of the erogenous zones, and no sensual/sexual content or language whatsoever. Information was thoughtfully presented, and it was very clear about explaining what techniques should not be used unless by a professional. This is not the best video to try to work along with as a guide while massaging, but otherwise everything was very easy to follow and learn. Swedish and Shiatsu techniques were covered, which is a nice combination. Instruction is given based on giving a massage on the floor that will be comfortable for both massage partners- you do not need a massage table to give the massage taught in the video. I am confient that almost anyone could use this video to learn to give a relaxing, enjoyable massage.
