Dodgy Massage in Palolem

I just want to warn people especially the females that there is a very dodgy massuss down in Palolem. I dont need to go into the details but just imagin wandering hands and making you take clothes off that you dont need to! (funnily enough the men dont!)

It is behind the Hi Tide & Coco beach huts, there is a sign on the beach adertising it called Ayurevedic massage.

i just wanted to warn ya'll.

I think they are all dodgy ! i would never have a massage in Goa . Most of the time all they do is no more than rub in coconut oil and then charge 400rs + to do it.

Very true. These massages are something female tourists should stay away from.

For the purpose of clarifying the thread title, are we talking a masseur or a masseuse here?

My wife and I were just on the beach in Palolem watching these seedy characters walking around with some Himalaya oil asking if both men and women wanted massages. Watched this guy rubbing a woman for AT LEAST 2 hours!!! Not doing a damm thing technically right, but J.H.Christ!!! The lady (tourist) was just laying there absorbing it all (mmm..that feels good) and the man...well, he was rubbing up her bathing suit, under her top etc. You get the picture. Come on ladies...no self-respecting Inidan woman would let some random man come up and rub them...please.

Kind of a The public gets what the public wants situation, wouldn't you say.

I'm still wondering what to do with the title. I guess changing it to "massage" would solve it, but take a step back and see how that would reflect on the business (and how are we to know if that one particular place is any good or not).

Um, folks, if you're gonna let someone touch you up, just make a little sure you know what you're doing, I guess. Wouldn't you at home?

Well said asicola. And they should all be told to keep their bikini tops on when they are sunbathing as well.
I stopped a tourist policeman once and complained about the women with their tops off, he said it is illegal but the tourist minister wasnt bothered about it. Next day the were fining people for smoking normal cigarettes on the beach !

It does make sense doesn't it. Smoking can kill but a topless woman will at the maximum cause only a neck strain and maybe a stubbed toe
