What does B2B mean in massage?
Body-to-body massage, also known as B2B massage, is an intimate and sensual form of massage that involves the use of not just hands, but the entire body to provide relaxation and pleasure. During a massage, certain body areas are typically avoided to prevent discomfort or potential injury. These include direct manipulation of the spine, the front of the neck, and any visibly injured or inflamed areas.No worries, your therapist can easily work over the sheet to get to these pesky problem areas. Groin & pelvic pain can stick around for quite some time, so I would always suggest at least three or more sessions of massage to make a difference.The groin area isn’t just “one spot. It includes a group of muscles like the adductors, pectineus, and gracilis that connect your pelvis to your thighs. Massage therapists often treat these muscles in athletes and active individuals, especially those recovering from strain or injury.But what about more sensitive or overlooked regions like the groin? Can a massage therapist legally and ethically treat that area? In certain cases, yes, but with professional boundaries, client consent, and specific therapeutic reasons.A full-body massage doesn’t have to include your sensitive areas. You can say which parts of your body you don’t want to be touched. A full-body massage usually includes your arms, legs, hands and feet, your neck and back, your stomach and buttocks.

Wear as much or as little clothing as you’d like during the massage. When it’s time for your appointment, feel free to take off some, all, or none of your clothing.

Is a 45 minute massage worth it?
So if you really want specific work AND full body relaxation, it may be worth considering a 90-min session. General relaxation can be achieved in a 60-min session, but if you just want general relaxation in half of the body (front/back or upper/lower) then a 45-min appointment can also work. In general, one hour is an appropriate length for a relaxing full body massage. It allows for a few minutes spent on each area of the body, but in 60 minutes it is unlikely we can address an area where you have specific pain and still perform a thorough full body massage.
