If you have never had a Nuru massage in Bangkok, the part most websites skip over is also the part most guys actually want to know:
What happens after the shower?
First, proper Nuru massage is not just an oil massage with a fancier name.
After the shower, you normally move onto a waterproof mattress or air mattress rather than a regular massage table. The masseuse prepares a large amount of slippery Nuru gel, usually warmed first, and applies it generously to both bodies.
And this is where Nuru becomes completely different from a normal massage.
Instead of mainly working with her hands, she uses much more of her body.
Arms, chest, stomach, thighs and legs can all become part of the massage as she slides over you from head to toe.
That full body-to-body contact is the whole point.
If somebody puts a little oil on you, rubs your back for twenty minutes and calls it “Nuru,” you did not really get the experience most guys are looking for.
The gel matters too.
Proper Nuru gel is much thicker and more slippery than massage oil. That allows long continuous movements that simply don't work the same way with ordinary oil.
A good session doesn't feel like:
massage...massage...massage...happy ending...finished.
The body-to-body massage is the main event.
That is also why choosing the right masseuse matters so much. Technique makes a big difference. One girl may really know how to use her whole body and keep the movement continuous. Another may basically give you an oil massage on a slippery mattress.
Same package name. Completely different experience.
Then there is the question everybody eventually asks:
Does Nuru massage in Bangkok include a happy ending?
Often it does at erotic massage venues, but don't assume every package at every parlor means exactly the same thing.
Some venues include the happy ending within the advertised Nuru package. Others have different levels of service or leave certain details between you and the masseuse.
Ask before the session starts.
Not because you need a ten-minute negotiation.
Just know what you booked.
Another thing first-timers sometimes don't realize is how much gel is involved. A proper session can get extremely slippery. That is why the mattress, shower and wet-room setup matter. When the session is over, you normally shower again because you will have gel everywhere.
Fortunately, Nuru gel is water-soluble, so it rinses off much more easily than heavy massage oil.
One last point: don't confuse Nuru massage with Soapy massage.
Both involve a lot of body contact, but they are different experiences.
Nuru is built around slippery gel and body-to-body gliding on a mattress.
Soapy massage traditionally revolves around soap, washing and a different style of body massage.
So when you see a Bangkok massage parlor advertising “Nuru,” I would ask one very simple question:
Are they actually doing proper gel body-to-body massage, or are they using the word Nuru to sell an ordinary erotic oil massage?
For guys who have tried several Nuru massage parlors in Bangkok:
What separates a genuinely good Nuru session from an average one?
Is it technique, amount of body-to-body contact, the masseuse's attitude, the amount of time spent on the actual Nuru massage — or something else?
After the shower, you normally do not climb onto a regular massage table.
At proper Nuru massage places in Bangkok, you usually move onto a waterproof mattress or padded floor setup designed for the gel.
The masseuse then prepares the Nuru gel, often warming it first.
That is the point where the session changes completely from a normal massage.
Once the gel goes on, the massage becomes much more body-to-body and much less about hands working individual muscles.
The first surprise for a lot of guys is how much gel they actually use.
It is not a few drops like massage oil.
A proper Nuru session uses enough gel to make both bodies extremely slippery, because the whole idea is continuous sliding contact.
Usually the masseuse applies it to herself as well as you.
That is why the shower comes first.
You are basically starting clean so the body-to-body part can begin properly without oil, sweat or clothes getting in the way.
After the gel is applied, the massage usually starts with slower full-body contact rather than immediately jumping to the ending.
That part matters.
The better sessions build gradually.
There may be back massage, chest-to-back contact, then more body-to-body sliding as the session develops.
That is why a proper Nuru massage feels different from a normal happy ending massage.
The happy ending may be part of the session, but it should not be the only thing happening after the shower.
Another thing that happens after the shower is a lot more repositioning than in a normal massage.
You may start face down, then turn over later.
The masseuse may move around you rather than staying at one end of the mattress.
That is part of what makes Nuru feel more interactive.
It is also why proper space matters.
If somebody is trying to perform Nuru massage in a tiny room on a narrow standard massage bed, the experience is never going to be the same.
And after the main body-to-body part is finished, there is usually another shower.
That is not optional in practice.
You will have Nuru gel over most of your body, and although it is water-soluble, you still need to rinse it off properly.
So the full sequence is usually something like:
shower → gel → body-to-body massage → happy ending if included → second shower.
That is probably the simplest answer to “what really happens after the shower?”
The details vary by Bangkok Nuru massage parlor, but the basic sequence is usually very similar.
