I was hoping you would chime in. You are the resident expert.
You do concur with me that learning massage like Esalen has many benefits, such as having the knowledge of how to please a woman. This must give you confidence with women. Do you think the majority would benefit learning such massage ? or just a select romantic few?
There is a school in Quebec that offers a 28 day course to become an Esalen teacher, so I wonder why no Esalen teachers offer workshops in Toronto. Do you think such workshops would be a viable business? Any idea why there are none?
I don't think most guys would need a 28-day course just to learn some basic moves etc. But yes I think many would benefit as I do and why I enjoy nude-reverse so much in Sauga.
The responses I get for zillions of massage gals show how rewarding it is. The "wows" The Gee you really know what you're doing. The I could have you do this all day, typical comments. And I believe its sincere not just to stroke (pardon the pun) my ego. And this is from the about 10-minute routine I do for the "reverse" part of the massage which anyone can learn.
I also get often great response from lap dancers not really doing Esalen (need a table) but the type of caring touch, some brief real muscle massaging backs and necks and most women like the right kind of breast massage - especially pecs. And breast massage is suggested by Sloan-Kettering Cancer Institute for breast cancer (I have a large article somewhere on my sites about it).
I have had lap dancer literally crying in my arms enjoying caring touch (part of Esalen) and often both in Canada and Phoenix "I wish my boyfriend/husband would touch like that." I am not trying to sound like gods gift to women, but my experiences in caring touch intimacy which Esalen is also based on, and the results I get. I have had dancers unpaid just sit in my lap wanting my massage to the point my hands are getting tired, and I'm getting bored

Again the value of learning some very basic good touch skills.
In discussing with massage or lap dance gals especially related to breast massage, they tell me most guys just "grope and grab, or pinch" which turns them off vs. good breast massage. I also seek smaller breasted women (A-C) natural. For me, I love the feeling of full natural breasts hopefully as much as the gals enjoy my liking them

. I don't know what to do with big D's since can't really do the same way or the hardness of implants relative to naturals. I am starting to do pre-trip planning, and my first screening of various nude-reverse places in Sauga is smaller than D and natural (some sites indicate if natural or enhanced). Then I look for reviews for clues as to sensuality and quality touch (ideal is both good real massage and sensual intimacy - which is a lot different from typical rub and tug more typical in the U.S.).
I am told I also have an advantage of very soft hands - have no idea why they are more than most guys, just blessed with I guess. And don't to anything more manual with them then type all day computer... like here
Years ago here I offered to do short intros while in Toronto, but the problem is need a female model, massage table, and place. Sauga is the only time I get to practice since reverse is unhead of in the U.S.
A very nice young Asian guy contacted me here by PM. He rented a hotel room, rented a massage table (not sure where you rent in Toronto) and had a dancer girlfriend as the "model". It was supposed to be for an hour, but we went for 2+ hours and was great. He had kind of a natural talent for good touch intimacy. We mirrored each other on opposite sides of her body at times. He also had some really nice strokes I learned from. The dancer, of course, was like in heaven.
So yes, I think the right minded guy could benefit from leaning some skills if interested in more than just sex and had an interest in intimacy/caring touch which Esalen is based on combined with traditional Swedish working on muscles.
