Thank you for asking, Biggie. For me, sensual massage is not an "adult entertainment" service, but a fun and relaxing means of creating relaxation, relieving pain and managing stress, in a professional manner. Herce, my title of "Stress Buster".

A very basic translation of sensual massage is that it caters to all your senses: A greeting with a smile and a welcome hug, answering all your questions before the session starts, a warm room, nice atmosphere, a comfortable massage table with fresh sheets, soft music, candle light, gentle fragrance in the room, and different levels of touch, and the touch of someone who truely cares about your welfare and comfort are all important factors to create an experience for All the senses.

2. Was there one particular thing, instance, event, that made you decide to take the path of including sensuality in your massage therapy?

Actually, yes, several issues over time. I originally came across an instructional sensual massage video from the Playboy Channel in the early 80’s. I was intrigued with the techniques, and found a (very) willing practice partner, who over the course of 20 years, has helped me tremendously perfecting the techniques.

3. One of my favorite special massages you provide is the super-stress buster - combining the sensual and relaxation/therapeutic aspects of massage into one. How did you come up with this idea and how has it been received?

This is an awesome combination I created to maximize relaxation, stress relief, and sensual contact. I actually describe all these parts on my website under the "Super Stress Buster" link on the services page. Over 50% of my male clients choose the SuperStressBustter session as their requested session, some of them every time, others mix the sessions between the 60-minute, 90-minute and SSB.

4. You offer G-spot and prostate massage, now I know this is NOT something they teach in Massage Certification 101! So where did you learn the skills to properly massage these erotic and sensitive areas?

You are absolutely correct. About five years ago, one of my clients brought up that subject, and after I could not find any valid instructions on the how-to , I asked him to teach me. Then I saw one of the videos from the Sinclair Institute, that taught all the techniques with proper explanations, and it all made sense.

5. Since you accept both male and female clients, what are the differences in feedback and input you get and give during a massage, between the two sexes?

I have been working with couples for several years now, most times it is the man who makes the initial inquiry. From my training and personal observations, it is very important for me to hear from the ladies also. A personal call or e-mail, to make sure we understand the boundaries, and taboos. I spend several e-mails back and forth with all parties to make sure we are all on the same page, so when they actually come in for the session, we can relax ad enjoy the touch and each other’s company, with pleasure, and without reservations or negative influences.

I have received many inquries from women interested in sensual massage, but most of them fizzled out before the appointment ever occurred. Some interest, some curiosity, but no commitment to try it. Not all women are comfortable with receiving intimate touch from another woman. I respect that. I am surprised how many women don’t have any idea what the G-spot is or what sensations it can create.

I can actually do the same techniques for both men and women, except minor differences, but the responses are virtually the same. The relaxing stretches, the goosebumps, the uuhs and aahs, the smiles, making sure that we have consent.

6. In our talks together, you seem to have so much desire to expand your massage horizons. Can you let us in on some of these?

Oh, boy, that is a major question, I am glad you brought it up. I am working on a major expansion of my business, to turn it into a real wellness and stress management center. I am interested in hyrdotheray, which is the use of hot and cold water to increase circulation, and to heal a number of disorders and fight stress. I have had the teachings and techniques of Sebastian Kneipp around me all my life, and I am scheduled to attend a major workshop in Germany soon. Hopefully, I will be able to integrate these new techniques into my new building. The new facility will have several treatment rooms with hydro-spas for individual treatments with herbal salts or oils, and massage, and a huge hottub in the center of the building, more for public use. Wouldn’t it be cool to have a place to go after work, get in the shower, sit in the hottub 15-20 minutes, get a great massage, sip some herbal tea and relax, before you go home and deal wiith family, homework, chores, etc.......

7. You caused quite a stir on Avenue-X.Net with your spicy erotica. Where do you get the ideas for this and can we expect more?

That was funny...I thought I was posting on the women’s board with a response to a provider’s question, so I got into some detail, but basically only summarized the experience. I did not realize this until the fiollowing day, when I received over ten inquires " where is the rest of the story, the good stuff". So, it took me a few days to put the event into a story format.

I have actually been writing erotic, or at least romantic, stories for about ten years. The first one came to me like in a flash while relaxing in my tub, it was just a glimpse, but I sat down and started writing, I wrote until my daughter came home from school and interrupted my flow of thought. I was at page 17 at the time. It took me three weeks to finish it, because I had to bring myself back into the story not to lose the flow.

I had a bunch of stories, most of them in medieval settings with knights and castles and ladies in distress, on an old computer, but they were lost a few years ago. I did not write anything for a few years, until the "Nehalennia" story I posted on my website. I wrote that story as non-erotic adventure about a sailor meeting a real goddess, then re-wrote an alternative ending with erotic references, but it did not fit the story content, so I left it the way I originally wrote it. The most recent strories since January have dealt with the realm of knights and magicians, so in order to write it properly, I had to do research about armor, and the use of magic potions and spells.

I have a few ideas for my next story, but I will not give that away yet1 I have to do some research first.!!!..

8. Does your German heritage influence your style and services in any way?

Definitely. Growing up in a strict catholic family, as the oldest of six, I had to fight for a lot of things that my younger brothers and sisters had a much easier time with. I was a bit "rebellious", at times, to achieve the things that were important to me. My job training and time with a bank taught me a lot about taking care of the customer in front of you. With the language skills acquired in high school, I became the liaison for many international transactions, that was so cool! And being branch manager of several small bank branches at the age of 24, oh my god, that is so much more significant for me today than it was then. I was just dong my job the best way I knew how. Learn a new skill, practice a lot, stick with it, get good at it until you can teach it to others. Never give up!

The other major influence in my life and philosophy is being a "True Gemini", the kaleidoscope of skills, the serious and funny, the playful and business-like, but mostly, I see the good side of life, always strive for the positive, the light, the laughter.

9. While we here at Avenue-X know your dedication to the art of massage, can you tell us what other interests or hobbies you have?

Aside from my re-discovered passion for erotic fiction, I have been redecorating my home, I have been an avid player of games like Dungeons and Dragons for 20 years, and computer games like Diablo. I think my favorite time to relax is a Saturday morning, when the house is quiet, to play an online adventure for 2 hours, solve quests, get treasures, and trying to stay alive. I have also recently started making bead necklaces for myself and friends, and collecting real renaissance clothes and jewelry. I used to collect all kinds of stuff, plates, mugs, wall decorations, but my taste and my values have changed over the past few years, maybe I will look into investing into some original art work and furniture. My favorite way to relax is with a bot tub with bubble bath or herbal salts, and sit and soak, just letting my body absorb the heat and relax.

Thanks, Gem!
