Vancouver's Tantra contrasted to Seattle's

[Leah C]

After an extensive search here on eforum.xxx, I've concluded that there are some major differences between local Tantra massage practices in Vancouver and Seattle.

In Vancouver, the standard practice seems to be that the masseuse is fully clothed and at best (and rarely) may offer topless at an extra charge, with no touching allowed. Nudity seems extremly rare, and is another added charge. All genital stimulation seems to be strictly by hand.

In Seattle, toplessness is standard and eventual nudity is as well, with at least some (and often quite a bit of) breast and genital touching and even digital penetration of the practitioner being OK. Some (many?) Seattle practitioners will also use their lips, tongue, and/or mouth to stimulate the lingam.

Most Seattle practitioners also offer bath ceremonies or sensuous showers. Seattle practitioners tend to encourage longer sessions as well. There seems to be a greater teaching component in Seattle sessions.

It's interesting that such different traditions have developed in two cities that are only a 2.5 hour dirive apart.

Vancouver prices per hour are lower than down south, but that seems to be the case across the board for all types of erotic services. (The falling US dollar is narrowing that gap.) There are also noticeably more Tantra practitioners in Seattle, but that's probably to be expected since its metro population is roughly twice that of Vancouver's.

Any thoughts about all this? Has anyone had Tantra sessions in both cities?
