Covid-19

The members of the fbsm forum have been discussing, what will happen when Government do give the go ahead for the more personal services like, barbershops, nail bars, and hopefully massage shops and massage therapists to start trading again. and what guide lines for them will be issued?. If any guide lines were to be issued covering massage therapists, we doubt if those guide lines will be designed to cover the services that we all enjoy, were the contact with the therapist can be even closer. and then depending on what the government guidelines are, it may or may not be possible to work within those guidelines, in such case we would have to rely on the therapists following protocols that we believe mitigate some if not all of the risks.
In a poll on the fbsm forum 44% of members would not consider going for a massage at the moment, even if it was allowed under government guidelines, due to the uncertain of not knowing the precautions each individual therapist was taking to avoid the spread of Covid-19.

What is required is a Code of best practice for Covid -19 avoidance for Sensual & Tantric Massage therapists, so that it is known that all good therapists are working to the same best practices giving customers more confidence in returning to going for a massage.
We have come up with a Draft copy of a Code of best practice for Covid -19 avoidance for Sensual & Tantric Massage therapists, and the members of the fbsm forum have indicated that they would be more likely to visit a therapist who was working to this guide.

We are now pleased to be able to say, that many therapist have contacted us, to say they will be following as many parts of our code of best practice, as it is possible for them to be able to do so.

Massage therapists re-opening:

List of massage therapists who are open again,or will be doing so shortly. All have made a public statement of re-opening, and most have also given details of their Covid-19 policy or have given support to working within the fbsm forums guide of best practice for covid-19 avoidance.

Forum service provider members  

The forum now has over 100 massage therapists  and agency owners, as members. This often makes it possible not only to make direct appointment with them. But often fbsm forum members are the first to find out about special offers and are also  the first to find out about new therapists.

Massage by Voucher

A big congratulations to one of our forum members who in his amazing thread "Massage by Voucher" has now visited over 200 massage shops around the London area, leaving a review for each one on the forum. but the truly amazing thing is that by signing up to receive special offers from a well know website, he often receives vouchers that allow him to book these shop massage appointments at astonishing discounted prices, and often leaves very happy after such appointments.
 
Map of UK Massage Providers

The fbsm forum Massage Map is being improved so that instead of just showing the locations of massage shops around the UK, will also show the location of massage agencies and also eventually independent massage provider. (for discretion only the town location will be shown for independent providers) These improvements will make the fbsm map an indispensable tool for anyone looking for a massage in a local area.Complete with a direct link to the relevant forum review so as to avoid disappointment.

A Hot Discussion Topic
at the moment is about the rising prices charged by the Chinese massage shops, with some now asking for £50 for an hour!. Luckily forum members know where the VFM shops are, and so still have a happy time at a reasonable price.

Joining The fbsm Forum

One of the questions that I am asked from time to time is, why do I have to pay a fee to use the fbsm forum?. Apart from paying for the forum costs and hosting fees, we have found that by asking for a fee, it prevents internet trolls and those who have no genuine interest in sensual massage from joining the forum, leaving the forum a more secure and enjoyable place for its members. once a fbsm forum member, if you make regular and useful posts you will not be asked for any further annual payments. In order to help new members join the forum, we now have a very discreet adult only E-Voucher payment system allowing a joining fee to be paid in a completely anonymous way, see our payment page for more details.
