I am a straight guy and due to the internet being full of guys more than ladies it is difficult to find ladies to work on or exchange with. I have been receiving massage for 20 + years and performing massage myself for around 5 years now. I love the contacts you can find and connections you can make. All the issues make the good ones that more special when you do find them. I have 6 ladies I exchange with now and have become friends, plus a number of customers. Lovely to know and make new friends.
I am Lovenatural73 on there.
Take care all
The idea of the site is great. However, even if you pay a huge ransom non-paid users cannot contact you. They do not know if you are a member. The only thing is paying all that money you allow the user to write back.
Hosting is usually an issue so finding your time and their time to match takes time. The site makes it difficult to exchange personal information. The site also makes it seem that others on the site are not real. So many times responses are not made in the first place.
There was a site determined to be human trafficking by Trump when they came down on backpage. That was Zenbrisa. The same users as M-E but on a free site was awesome. I miss massage. I wish they would bring that back. Z was international. On business in the UK I found a local that came to my hotel.
I have been a member of the website for approximately five years. During that time I have conversed with and met many individuals regarding massage exchanges. Like all social media sites; one must do your own "due diligence" regarding the person with whom you are corresponding. Effective communication is the key - along with having a DETAILED profile. Members with just a few sentences in their profile are usually not a good contact. My membership has permitted me to make some nice friends with whom we trade on a regular basis. This is so much cheaper than hiring professionals. A lot of "amateur" massage enthusiasts are pretty good at an exchange. TELL the person what you want: "more pressure", "slow down". Give it a try... after a couple of trades, the membership fee pays for itself.
I have been a member for a month and no partners for exchange as most of the ads months old and only one potential partner and she is 70 miles away and not available. Maybe some areas with more interest but not in Lansing, Michigan area

Ken from MassageExchange replied to my review. Several falsehoods in his reply. First off being just outside Philadelphia does not make my location some far away land or in the boonies as he suggested. He said I had not been a member and that is accurate, BUT as I was trying to find reviews of providers in my area, none were coming up. Only individuals thousands of miles away were noted except for a very few out of state. Like I said, when I contact them, they were perplexed on why that was. Makes two of us.
Patiently spoke to this person on the phone for about 20 minutes. His sole concern was that the people *near him*, apparently a remote location, had no reviews. No, we were not baffled; it's quite normal. I pointed to the over 10,000 positive reviews around the world (https://www.massageexchange.com/reviews/view.asp), but he didn't want that, he wanted to see reviews for members in his city. So he decided for some bizarre reason that we were fake. Hardly. The person has never been a participating member of our site - he's never contacted anyone! His review is unfair and unfounded.
At the beginning it was a wonderful site but then they took away some free items and made it harder and worse to get in touch with people. Now the site is full of people not really wanting to exchange at all.
We're pretty busy always adding new features, usually free. We're not aware of any free items we've taken away. We certainly are always looking for ways to make it easier to connect. We've contacted the author asking them what items they believe we've taken away and to clarify. We're received no reply after 10 days.
I think it would have better reviews if they made their money on advertising and less on the actual users. They are offering a free service, so paying $$$ for a free service to the user doesn't make sense. Even if they wanted to charge just the men on the site, I think people would be more happier with the product. The site is and looks very professional, but I believe people would have a better outcome if they made it free for all and just advertise to make their money. It is a quality site, so I am sure they can make decent money with advertising. I paid for 6 months so wish me luck.
I have contacted numerous individuals over the years as I travel.
Most of the time, I have received little or no response.
I would expect at least a reply that said not interested or not available during that time etc. This is not a fault of the Exchange. Just the caliber of the people who have joined it. I might not renew next time because it has become a waste of time to try to communicate with no responses.
Very expensive site for what you get. Many times you receive emails and after you reply your reply is unread because the massage exchange site wants more money. I will not be renewing my subscription after it expires. I would not recommend the massage exchange wedsite to anyone.
A subscription is all that's necessary to communicate. The comment about "wanting more money" makes no sense since there's nothing else needed beyond a subscription. Member should contact our support staff to receive assistance.
Made multiple contacts, never got 1 reply. Probably bogus profiles. Contacted site admin. Came back with very snide, unprofessional remarks. Don't waste your time and money.

Business History
One day, with a particularly bad back ache, I realized that I had no-one to trade with. Unfortunately, trying to network with others in order to find trading partners proved difficult, time consuming, often even embarrassing, and ultimately unsuccessful.
An idea was born — Why not a massage networking site for those looking for massage exchange partners?

The member may have a misunderstanding. We have two subscription levels, Silver and Gold. Silver requires that both parties to be subscribers to communicate while Gold does not. It's the member's choice which they prefer - Save money (Silver) and communicate with fellow subscribers only or spend a bit more (Gold) to communicate with the freebies too. Member claims it's difficult to exchange information but it is not. Just write whatever you wish to in an e-mail to a fellow member.
