Richie Dillon sat at the receptionist's desk in the massage office space he shared with Ellen Brooks. They had shared the office space for several years now but they were not really partners. Each of them had his or her own clients, each set the price for the massage and, for many reasons, they tried to schedule their work so that the other tenant was not in the office during the appointment. They could actually have shared the massage room. Alternatively, they could have soundproofed the rooms.
Both Richie and Ellen were comfortable providing whatever extra services their clients might request. It was the extra services that were most likely to produce embarrassing noises that could be heard through the wall. A long, long time ago both Richie and Ellen had graduated massage school and come into the world of massage proud of their ability to address the ills the flesh is prone to. Cramped shoulder muscles were near the top of the list, but the low back was not far behind so to speak, and various manifestations caused by a cramped sciatic nerve were frequent causes for a client to seek a massage.
In very short order both Richie and Ellen came to understand that the primary association with massage in the mind of the average man or woman was sexual. They soon learned that simply telling a new acquaintance that one was a massage therapist was tantamount to admitting that one was a sex worker. In fact, Richie had done advanced studies and he was quite capable of stopping a migraine headache cold, or freeing a jammed neck vertabra without producing the sound of breaking spaghetti. He had picked up those techniques and a good many more at the Upledger Institute in Florida, but he had long since quit putting out brochures for cranial therapy or explaining to clients that he was capable of those semi-medical modalities. The correct brochures would have described his expertise with the classics - the hand job, the blow job and the prostate massage.
You might conclude from this list that the clients who requested sexual services were primarily male but each of those specialties applied equally to both sexes. In the case of a female client the hand job was generally referred to as "fingering", the blow job got the fancy name "cunnilingus" and the prostate massage was not substantially different from G-spot massage. Prostate massage and G-spot massage both address tissues that stem from the same fetal structures and both involve finding and stimulating erectile tissue. Both usually lead to orgasm.
Oddly enough, orgasm was precisely what Richie had on his mind as he sat at his desk - not his own, but that of a female client he had seen a week ago. Her name was Livy and she was suffering from tight neck and shoulders and terminal horniness, her husband having recently walked out. She surprised Richie by asking for sexual services on the first appointment. Men would often ask for precisely what they wanted right after they shook hands. Not so women. Women were often embarrassed to admit that they needed a sexual release. They were concerned that they might turn their desire for a little pleasure into something as unpleasant as a rape. Men never worried about getting a therapist to stop if they were uncomfortable and voiced that discomfort. Women knew that some therapists would stop immediately, but that some, primarily male therapists, could get carried away. The knew that telling the police they had been lying nude on a massage table when they were raped was considered "a likely story." Anyone who had ever tested the police in this way knew better than to try again.
For whatever reason, Livy had quickly realized that Richie was friendly, kind and completely trustworthy. He would never abuse a client, especially a female client, and she concluded that early on in her first massage with Richie. When she told him precisely what she wanted, that was exactly what he did. Not only did that make a big impression on her, but it also allowed her to relax into a colossal orgasm.
Richie had done two massages so far today. Like most of Richie's regular clients, both of his clients today had received extra services. The two massage fees amounted to $180 and tips added up to nearly twice that. He was quite satisfied to take in over $500 for a couple hours work. He assumed that anyone who called now would be scheduling something for another day.
His cell phone rang.
"This is Richie. How can I help you?"
"Hi, Richie. It's Livy. Do you remember me?"
"Of course, Livy." Livy had left a very generous tip. Richie assumed that she would become used to his services - at least he hoped so - and he knew that the tip would settle into something more usual.
"Are you available today?"
"My schedule is clear for the rest of the day. Did you want an afternoon appointment or an evening appointment?"
"Truthfully, Richie, I'm not really comfortable in your neighborhood after dark."
"Yeah" said Richie "I know the area is a little run down, but as far is I know it is very safe here after dark."
"Anyway, this afternoon would be good for me."
"As I say, my schedule is clear for the rest of the day, so name a time."
"Thanks. I could come by around 3 PM. Is that good for you?"
"Fine. See you then, Livy."
It was 1:30 PM. Richie cleaned up the massage room from his last client and went downstairs to the street. At the end of the block was a pizzeria. Richie got a sausage roll and a coke in the pizzeria and relaxed on his massage table until 2:45. Then he went out to the reception desk to wait for Livy.
At ten to three the translucent glass showed a tall slim figure opening the door. It was Livy.
"Hi, Livy!" said Richie.
"Hi, Richie. How are you?"
"I'm fine, Livy. The question is, how are you?"
"You know, my husband walked out a month ago and I'm still trying to reorganize my life. More than that, I'm depressed. Having your spouse walk out on you is a lot like a punch in the gut."
"I do know, Livy. What have you done to try to stabilize?"
"I have been trying to meet someone at on line dating sites."
"Are you sure that's the best way to recover from rejection?"
"It isn't. All dating carries the risk of rejection, but it is the most direct way to get laid."
Richie laughed. "Yeah, I can't deny that. Did you?"
"Did I what?"
"Get laid."
"Yes and no."
Richie laughed again. "You are really funny, Livy. How do you get laid and not get laid?"
"Well" said Livy "You get naked. Your date gets naked and stands in front of you with a hard on. So you say, "Nice item, George. What do you want to do?"
"What did George say?"
"He looked kinda bashful. He looked away and said "Could you give me a blow job?""
"Oh my God" said Richie "Just like that?"
"Just like that" said Livy.
"What did you do" asked Richie.
"I put my clothes back on and told him to get lost. You can't imagine how hurt he looked."
"Next time maybe sit him down before the clothes come off and have him take an IQ test." said Richie.
"I like it, Richie. At least it would slow things down."
"So you might be sexually needy today, right?"
"You hit the nail on the head."
"Okay" said Richie "Let's do this. First, tell me every place your body hurts. Then tell me what your favorite way would be to be taken care of sexually."
"First question is easy" said Livy. "My neck and shoulders hurt like hell. My low back is not so great either. Second question is not so easy. I'm really embarrassed to tell you my sexual fantasies."
"Let me help you, Livy. I will do practically anything of a sexual nature. The only thing I won't do is straight on fucking."
"May I ask why, Richie?"
"Couple of reasons. First, I can't afford to lose my head. I need to manage the time for the massage and I simply don't form emotional attachments with my clients. Moreover, I have a problem with my penis."
"Do you have an STD?"
"Oh no, Livy. I have an oversize penis. It is actually too large for comfort for the average woman."
"Really, Richie? Can I see it?"
"Sure" said Richie, dropping his scrub bottoms to reveal that he went commando.
"Holy Cow!" said Livy "You are right. That is way too big for me. I could deal with long, but that is much too big around."
"I know" said Richie. "Now, since you realize that we don't have a real fit here, you have your choice of practically any other sex act or acts you could think of."
"Do you do oral?"
"Sure, is there anything you wouldn't want me to do orally?"
