Bailey Angelina 110 Report post Posted October 24, 2010 Happy Sunday gentlemen... I was recently doing a shift at a parlour on Bank street. During my session with a client, I noticed a strong and very disgusting cent coming from the oil... To my suprise and upon further inspection, I realized quite quickly that it was CRISCO cooking oil... I also had an elergic reation and spent that evening in EMERG:( I found this very disgusting and classless and I never returned there... After discussing the incident with girlfriends of mine, I became aware that crisco is commonly used In Massage Parlours around Ottawa. Wondering if any clients have been deep fried in Crisco lately and if so please tell me about it.... xoxoxooxox Love Peace and apparently chicken greese.. lol xoxox SKY:butt: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CMJ 14869 Report post Posted October 25, 2010 That is disgusting, however, baby oil is equally as disgusting in my opinion - it is petroleum based... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Megan'sTouch 23875 Report post Posted October 25, 2010 That's disgusting. I user Myo Ther, a professional water-based oil. I like it because your skin absorbs it and I find it's easier to come off in the shower. I'm sorry for your bad experience. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bassnut 178 Report post Posted October 25, 2010 Have not been anywhere that used cooking oil yet ...... thank god ..... a couple places that do use baby oil, that I can live with though not my favorite. The oil at CMJ is great as well as what Megan uses, both are water based for easy clean up and not pefumie smelling for anyone to wonder about for the guy's to worry about that.

Ricco 411 Report post Posted October 25, 2010 Sounds a bit fishy to me. Crisco is vegetable oil. I wouldn't want it spread on my body (olive oil maybe...). I find it doubtful anyone would have an allergic reaction to it as it is really benign. Maybe, maybe if there was a peanut allergy involved, but this whole thing reeks.

Vegetable oil can and do cause allergic reactions. Crisco contains soyabean oil which is likely the offending allergen. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethany Westbrooke 7532 Report post Posted October 25, 2010 I have to say that reading the word Crisco conjured up memories of used Crisco oil scented with a french-fried past... Not a good association for an erotic massage! Sorry to hear that you ended up with such a bad reaction Skymillz, you should add this to the Tips for a Good Experience thread- Always find out what they are rubbing all over your naked body, lol!

mod 135640 Report post Posted October 25, 2010 Etasman is correct, Many people have an allergy to Soy and the normal "crisco" lump of cooking lard is made with Soy but is more like soap then a liquid oil... maybe the liquid oil based one has soy as well.... Crisco also makes other oils... the crisco we all think of is that big while lard block our grandmothers loaded in cookies that left that greasy aftertaste... at least that is what I think of... Crisco makes liquid oils too (Canola, Sunflower, Cotton Seed, and even gave a peanut oil as well) so it would depend on the TYPE of crisco oil being used as other allergens could be the reason. It is not toxic and just as gross as baby oil (Actually it's better then baby oil in my personal opinion as long as you dont have an alergy - food products under go MUCH higher standards then any NON-FOOD product) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tiffany Amber 7031 Report post Posted October 25, 2010 Ive worked at few MP's in Ottawa and alot of them do use Veg oil! It's cheaper for them tp buy that by the gallon, since alot of the girls use it like crazy!! I found out the same way you did SKymills, my arms and breast broke out in little red dots and I was so itchy, I didnt have to go to emerg tho, I ended up using that Gold Bond lotion to stop the itching and before and after every massage I would use alcohol and then wash up very very good with soap and water. I do agree with CMJ, i find baby oil equally disgusting, that also give me a rash, I use Karma Sutra massage oils. It is kind of expensive, $20-25 for 200ml bottle, but it does last, you dont have to use as much as baby oil. I buy it at the Sex stores. Some times if I forget my body lotion at home, Ill even use it after I get out from the shower and Ive never broke out from that. There are different sents and also non-scented.

slurp 7020 Report post Posted October 27, 2010 While I have never knowingly been prepped for the deep fryer, I must say we should not condemn all vegetable oils. Just the other day the cooling fan om my puter's video card was making noise, in fact it stopped altogether and was causing the puter to reboot.Very annoying when viewing a good piece of porn. I took it apart to see what I could do and realized I had no silicone oil (my fave for stuff like that, it's not to oil breasts). I thought about it and had some extra virgin olive oil that may or may not have been near the puter for sexual reasons. Put a drop or two on the fan bearing and it is quiet as a mouse and my puter is no longer rebooting. Just massage a lil extra virgin olive oil into your bearings in a pinch and you too can have a happy ending! :jackoff: 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jude 464 Report post Posted November 4, 2010 i go to Simply Therapy. The only massage store in ottawa. I love massaging with creams. Its better on men bodies since they have dryer and hairyer skin type.There is 2 types from biotone company. One is even organic. I had alot of compliments. But i just use cream for the real massage part. The rest thats another story. I think purer is the product better it is. Olive oil is extremelly good for the skin, but only if its cold press. Its very greasy and this is the problem and it stained. Another recommendation is almond oil. Its a good balance between greesy and dry. It doesnt stained and its very good for the skin and it has almost no scent.. But the problem is the peanut allergies. Most massage place (professionnal) are using massage gels. Its cheaper. But there is alot of petrolatum in there. Posted via Mobile Device Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JuliasUndies 7288 Report post Posted November 4, 2010 99% of the places I have worked for use vegetable oil, this is sooo true and baby oil too like wtf? First off..This stuff is so sticky and stays on the body and baby oil?? This gives me rashes and smells like babies.. Not to mention going for a "release massage" is supposed to be discreet since a lot of Clients have a partner to go home too. And the girls that wear too much perfume as well and sparkly make up..Glitter transfer seems so easy while trying to remove it, not so much. I learned fast to bring in my own oils or lotions, music.. We are always told to tell the Clients it s Mineral oil. Umm Mineral oil isn t that yellow is it?? lol! But really now.. Owners make 40-80 dollars per massage, that's well paid. So why do they have to be so cheap and get vegetable oil? It would make more sense to have the girls bring their own oils than to pay for cheap, allergic ridden crispy fried baby smelling goop. You d a figured by now that there should be some sort of by-laws for products used in a "health" environment and do regular check-ups. Especially since some may contain peanut traces, now they are just asking for trouble. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does anyone else find it strange that someone joined recently and their only post was about this bad experience as if to call out a local massage parlour's business practices? gents and working ladies, if you have allergies, its best to probably bring your own lubes instead of being sent to the hospital for a severe reaction to something that could be found in your common harmless vegetable oil. ....if you had a severe allergy that sent you to the hospital why would you not be cautious and use your own products OP? If you found out that this is a common practice in parlours in Ottawa then why the need to call out on particular Bank street location? Why not just wise up and use you own lube if you have a life-threatening allergy instead of asking everyone if they've had the same experience....just seems a little odd. Yes it is shocking, but if its common practice as you said in places in Ottawa then the lesson you should be trying to give to everyone is to bring their own $5 lube bottle.....and lose the risk of their allergies sending them to to hospital...Not calling out a particular parlour for their classless business practices. (and yes i realize I'm going to get flack for this but I dont see the original post as being helpful or informative...but rather spiteful. The ideal post should probably mention the dangers of not taking your allergies into consideration in the industry.....minus blaming others) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JuliasUndies 7288 Report post Posted November 4, 2010 You girls look into this like pros. :bowdown: There are tonnes of places on bank street so I think she s in the safe zone there, however yes, that could be a spiteful way to start something..Private messaging members perhaps and letting them know their favorite place is..hmm Good point! But..there is something I did notice after browsing through a few posts.. Ever notice how there seems to be the same thread about the same place asking questions back and forth with what seems to be old accounts, but new posters, it really looks like a conversation is going on with one person and a few avatars they have been sitting on. It s obvious! Am I the only one that notices these things? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rodehard 2058 Report post Posted November 4, 2010 (edited) For what it is worth, I know from past experience that if you ask the masseuse, (RMT or not) or MP what kind of oil, gel or powder or otherwise that they are going to use for the massage they will tell you. I have even had masseuses or MP's let me smell the gel, "lubricant" or powder in question and touch it, rub it on my skin etc after it was explained to me what it was. Due to bulk type purchasing, not all of the products used are kept in their original packaging for use in the studio. Most of the better and discrete masseuses or MP's are proud of the products that they use as they feel that it is a reflection of the level and quality of the service being provided. A matter of only the best for their clientele. At that point in time, if the masseuse or MP cannot provide an answer to your satisfaction, its time to use some common sense and think about where you are and determine what you are really there for in the first place!

Guest S***dst*** Report post Posted November 4, 2010 For those keen on expanding their repretoir of oils/lotions..I suggest finding an RMT and making friends with them. They have access (through conventions, and their governing bodies) to all sorts of good stuff! My dear friend lives (and would likely die lol) by one such "oil" she uses from an RMT ordering catalogue. It's made from coconut and is all natural (no chemicals) odourless and actually quite amazing to work with on any body/skin type. The only REAL downside is it needs to be kept at room temperature and sometimes warmed up as it's a bit viscous. Your skin will absorb whatever is put on it..a good rule of thumb to follow when selecting a massage oil..."If you wouldn't put it in your mouth, dont rub it into your skin" (double entendre not intended) remember also not only your client is going to absorb this lotion...the therapist/provider has just as much exposure, if not more, so make sure it works for you aswell.

The only REAL downside is it needs to be kept at room temperature and sometimes warmed up as it's a bit viscous. Well, coconut oils are high in saturated fats, that's why they need to be warmed up. Saturated fats are solid at room temperatures. Unsaturated fats are liquid at room temps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wellie 652 Report post Posted November 4, 2010 Has anyone had experience with grape seed oil?

Annessa 22743 Report post Posted November 5, 2010 all very good points. Especially the one about "if you wouldnt put it in your mouth, dont rub it on your body". My best friend is registered in neuropathology and swears by this, so I agree, if I'm allergic to crisco, I probably would have been exposed to it if I'm in my 20's and know not to rub it all over myself and a client MY main point however in this thread is when I joined as an SP on this board, my first notion was to post an ad........not call out a faulty agency. just sayin..... this posts reminds me of when I used to work for a restaurant review website...and numerous new account were created to give faulty "reviews" as "members" that were really other competing restaurants. No doubt this post beggs for other members to PM them with dirt on who exactly this Bank street locale was. it rubbs me the wrong way. if it were a client posting a bad experience it might have made more sense.....but an SPs first post to the boards? Call me crazy but I think we should wait for a couple reviews on their experiences with said imaginary lady from solid members before this one gets taken seriously. *taps foot...* This should be interesting.... Like I said before, if you have extreme allergies...probably best to think twice before lathering yourself up with an unknown substance and blaming it on the establishment. I always ask before using oils/lubricants on my clients if they have any allergies that they're aware of. I hope (even though I sense this thread was posted in haste) that it is a great eye opener to people that have cosmetic allergies. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
