Last year I went to Thailand and stayed in a suite in the high-end, Conrad hotel. Our amazing room had its own terrace with French doors opening out to the gorgeous Bangkok skyline. The hotel was filled with businessmen staying on the executive level floors and ordering in-room massages. It is the norm to get massages while in Bangkok. I wondered if the wives of these executive businessmen knew that their husbands were getting a massage with a “happy ending”.
Is a massage with a happy ending cheating? A massage is therapeutic; It stimulates the blood and kneads the muscles, and since our bodies are all connected to each of its isolated parts, the happy ending is just an extension of a total body massage, right? Is having a stranger pleasure you sexually, even in the most sterile way, still considered cheating if in a committed relationship?
I have always believed in fairness and equality between the sexes, so I pose the question to all those Bangkok husbands: Would you mind if your wife got a happy ending from “Sven”, the Swedish massage student? Or would that just be harmless, therapeutic stress release? I decided to do a little investigating to test out the subject and see if a girl could even get a happy ending in the massage world. San Francisco has a plethora of massage parlors in the Tenderloin district, and Craigslist.org is teeming with massage ads. So I began a journalistic inquiry into the happy ending massage to see if there was indeed a double standard.
I started my inquisition at a massage parlor on Taylor St. I read that this place offered $60.00 massages and a wink, wink offer for “more massage” for male visitors who want to pay more. I was curious to see if a woman visitor would get the same “wink, wink” offer, so I called up and asked. A woman with a heavy Chinese accent promptly hung up on me. Although I had no intention of actually getting a happy ending massage, I was just getting info for my story, part of me felt a little miffed by the rebuff and I engaged in a renewed determination to find a service where a girl could get a happy ending massage. I dialed a few more massage parlors and after getting denied, referred elsewhere, or hung up on, I decided to try my luck on Craigslist.org instead.
Now, this was a massage wonderland. Almost every kind of massage possible was advertised: Thai, Swedish, deep tissue, afternoon delight, four handed massage, hot oil, body psychotherapy, reflexology, man on man, prostate massage, in room massage, half price massage (the economy is affecting everyone) and many, many, happy Asian massages, but not one, “man on woman” happy massage.
Undeterred, I found a few male masseurs who offered in room massages. Many had websites linked to their Craig’s List ads so I browsed around to select the right guy. After all, if a girl were going to get a happy ending massage, she would want someone who was relatively attractive, right? I scanned the photos of handsome masseurs with their very professional websites and oh, my, I was dazzled. Well- oiled, gleaming muscled, tanned, G-string-wearing, massage therapists who touted their adept, caring hands, were willing to drop everything for in-room service. This is where a girl could get a happy ending massage, I was sure.
One guy, in particular really caught my eye. He was 25, from Brazil, long hair, dashingly handsome and a college student. I dialed his number.
“Uh... Hi. I am looking for a massage?” I asked gingerly.
“Yes”, he replied in his sexy Brazilian accent.
“I am looking for an in room massage,” I nervously continued. “I used to have a masseuse who came over to my house weekly but he left the country and I am looking to replace him. What do you charge?”
"Brazil" wanted to learn more about my needs before he could quote an exact price. I felt a tinge on excitement. I think I may have caught my happy ending fish.
“You see", I explained, "my previous masseuse would give me a full body massage and would follow with a…you know, happy ending.” There was long silence.
“What do you mean?” Brazil asked.
“Well, I mean…Um…Pleasure me… sexually”. Longer silence while I bit my lip.
“Oh, no. I don’t do that,” Brazil explained. “But I can give you nice a face massage.”
A face massage?! Was he kidding? I don’t know how much Brazil has learned about women in his short 25 years of life, but a face massage is not a happy ending. I thanked him politely and we both, uncomfortably, hung up.
There really does appear to be a double standard when it comes to happy endings in the massage world. Apparently men can get a four handed, hot oil, happy ending, including a prostate massage, while a woman gets a facial. Of course, I didn’t really want to do it, but at least wanted to know if I could.
Men have erotic services peddled to them everywhere in San Francisco, and at the drop of a hat. Smiling girls, or boys, depending on their whim, will pleasure them for a price. For women however, it isn’t so easy. I thought San Francisco was a city of equality. I thought women and men shared the same rights, opportunities and options, apparently not in the ‘sex for sale’ business.
So, for all those wives of executive businessmen in Bangkok, I say, put your foot down. I don’t care how sterile and therapeutic the happy ending is, if the wife can’t end her day on a happy note from her, well-oiled, Brazilian, masseur, then her husband shouldn’t either. After all, what is good for the goose is good for the gander.

great article! fantastic that you did the research!
Happy endings lead to sad endings and feelings of guilt and extreme shame. I don't recommend that any married man get one.
I haven't smiled so much in a while. You have quite a sense of humor, and I learned something too.
Great, except that you sounded like a cop...

Actually, as a writer for the spa industry, I'm aware of and know they exist for males and females alike, but calling and asking is akin to saying "Hello, will you please commit a crime with me?" That kind of infomation just won't be shared over the phone.
hilarious to read while here in bangkok.
it is like what a woman might say after reading that book, "hello my big big honey!"
by the way, did she try the legendary *no hands* restaurants?
cheers,
I had a happy ending massage in India, I was offered by the male masseuse on the 3rd massage session. I must admit, I would never normally do such a thing but it seemed the like an opportunity too good to miss. I walked out of there with a huge smile on my face!
Sarah! Do share where you got this, I've been here 6 months now and probably had 2 dozen massages without being offered one. My email is rayoflight2910@gmail.com if you'd care to send me an email with the info.
Thanks :-)
Too funny...we often joke about "happy endings". Great article!
Yeah, I highly agree. No one ever asks for sexual pleasures, especially over the phone. You negotiate that when you're actually there, getting massaged, and it is offered, you dont ask. So you have to do your research on the place first if thats what you're expecting. Silly goose.
There just isn't a demand... Women may want it, but they sure aren't asking for it. There are plenty of attractive young men that would be happy to please a women for free - or an older women for a small charge. I am curious what the women's happy ending includes? Seems like the fingered variety might be kind of lacking... Maybe she should have asked for a tongue massage lol.
Ok... here's the deal. I am a massage junkie, a Cougar and I never pay for massages. I always get them for free and 8 out
off 10 time the masseur will provide the happy ending (oral)
without ever talking about it, or being asked. It is always
up to me how far it will go. For example, if I do not like
the masseur, or am not in the mood, I make it clear, other-
wise he will proceed naturally at the end of the massage. I
find them on CL and my last one was fantastic and my type. I
saw him for months every week and we really hit it off.
Your mistake was the request of something that is illegal
over the phone, which would be the same as asking an escort
if she provides sex, or a masseuse for a hand job. Both are
against the law in Cali. Live and learn..
Well to be honest I am a guy and I have gotten one. You ask during the massage and lying their naked and "awake". Massage parlors won't admit to providing them until you are in the room and already well into the massage. No one who provides sexual services on craigslist will discuss sexual services with callers as it would be too easy for the police to bust them that way
I was in Bangkok in the 5 star hotels. The massage was always above board and no happy ending :( however the parlous were different. I went with my gf and she was always given a happy ending.
"I had a happy ending massage in India, I was offered by the male masseuse on the 3rd massage session. I must admit, I would never normally do such a thing but it seemed the like an opportunity too good to miss. I walked out of there with a huge smile on my face!"
Sarah, could you give details as to what actually happened?
I'm sure there are male therapists that would offer you lovely ladies a "happy ending". I am a massage therapsit and I would do it. We typically don't do things like that because we don't want to get into trouble. If the massage is free then why should it matter.
You asked about sexual services over the phone? These places probably thought you were the police, and doing a poor job at investigating at that.
Sounds like "face massage" is code for an oral happy ending... Just saying.
I will give you a happy ending massage one you will never forget
I will give you a happy ending massage,you are right ladies should have them also
Are you daft? Men can't call around asking for "happy endings", what if it's a sting operation? You don't call and ask if they do a happy ending, you just have to find out by trying to get one. That's how they avoid rubberneckers like you who don't actually want anything but are just trying to find out, for whatever reason, whether they do it.
Such a great article... I liked it ..Thanks for sharing
Try the ambassador hotel, bangkok. Theyve got men coming in for an in room massage. I always stay there and take one, its inexpensive and for an extra tip u can get the men to eat u too..
LOL. You actually thought you could just call and ask?
i will give you a happy ending for free, if you are pretty.o.k.
you're an idiot. the reason they all hung up on you is because of a secret that EVERY man knows. YOU CAN'T SAY WHAT YOU 'REALLY' WANT OVER THE TELEPHONE. this article proves nothing. I know plenty of women that are addicted to their massage therapists.
Happy... end.. ings...
-Mike
You are so cute!
To be fair doesn't mean equality and being able to do exactly the same thing.
Men and women are different, this is nature, not double standard.
All a woman has to do is to go and order up a private in-room massage, be a little flirty during the massage. Then, after the flip, just subtly spread your legs a little and let out some soft moans. The message should be received loud and clear and, if not, just "accidentally" knock the towel off.
I would be happy to give you a happy ending.
in fact, i am giving myself one right now.
Consider the risk factor, Melinda. If a woman touched a man in a way he didn't want, he would simply remove her hand, but if a man did it to a woman she would call the cops and have him put away for a year or two.
Hey melinda, want a happy ending today? cum tonight, i ll give you enema + massage + orgasm for free
Women get it offered to them for free on a daily basis!
So why would they wast money on a happy ending when they would much
rather invest there money on there one millionth pair of shoes,which is
more important to have a stroked ego..And only adds to there peacocking there feathers.
to lure more daily offers of free happy endings!instead of going to a hanky panky massage parlor!
i would fuck the fuck the daylights out of you
I've tried Herprivatepleasures in NYC which was great. Does anyone know of other erotic massage places for women in the city?
LOL you don't ask them over the phone,its a clandestine industry. A happy ending provider is not going to incriminate themselves until they're sure you're not a narc - that is when you're lying naked on a table all hot and bothered, thrusting your loins in the air....
Should someone want a happy ending while in India,mail me at rodmandy@rocketmail.com.I can guide you to the right place.Decent on the beach side.
