When most people think of happy ending massages, they probably imagine a horny young guy bashfully getting jacked off on a massage table in some seedy late-night parlor. And, sure, this may be an accurate picture in some cases. But for one thing, it’s not just men seeking out this particular kind of sexual service.

Yep, plenty of women are into the happy ending fantasy, too. In fact, according to Women’s Health, more and more women today are paying for erotic massages. In a time when dating is seemingly harder than ever and casual sex encounters often leave a lot to be desired, why not get your kicks at your regular massage appointment instead?

Of course, this isn’t a new fantasy. Massage porn has long been a top category on Pornhub, making an appearance in the site’s “End of Year Review” for at least the last four years in a row.

The porn fantasy version aside, what’s it really like to get a happy ending massage as a woman? Do you have to seek it out? What exactly does it involve? And what happens afterwards? To answer all your questions (and ours!), we trawled Reddit for women’s real life stories of happy ending massages.

(Just a note: If you’re turned on by the idea of a happy ending massage, the safest and easiest way to explore that fantasy is to role-play it with a partner you trust.)

13 Happy Ending Massage Stories From Real Women

1. “I was so turned on that I immediately started to orgasm”

“I was recently in a new country for a work trip and I decided to get a massage at a place nearby after work training. A woman came and gave me a menu with prices and I saw ‘massage for women’, so I selected that one. She also asked if I wanted a female or male masseuse, so I said female. Once in the room, the masseuse asked me to take a shower first, which I did, and then asked me to lay facing down. I was fully naked after the shower, and she didn’t put a towel on top of me as they usually do.

She put a lot of oil on and started by massaging my feet, which was nice after days of travel and working. She continued with my legs and back, then started massaging my ass directly and went back and forth across my legs up to my ass. This continued for a bit until she eventually swiped her thumbs across my pussy while massaging up my thighs and ass. At first it was subtle, but eventually her hands were fully rubbing my pussy as she massaged my ass. I had never experienced this, but I was tired and it felt good, so I just [let her] continue.

She then asked me if I’m okay with turning over, so I said yes. She started rubbing my shoulders, ran her hands down my body, and rubbed the front of my thighs, and went back up to graze my tits and nipples. She then put more oil on me and started rubbing my boobs with her hands, which made me start moaning. She went down with her hands to my pussy and started to flick my clit a bit and went back up across my body to my tits to massage my nipples, and at this point I was fully moaning. She even started lightly fingering the entrance to my pussy while feeling up my nipples with her other hand, and I was so turned on that I immediately started to orgasm.

I don’t know if she realised if I came or not but she did slow down a bit but continued to flick my clit a bit after and went harder at it. I felt so sensitive but it felt amazing, so I relaxed and enjoyed it and eventually she made me cum again. I felt weird moaning and cumming during a ‘massage’, but it felt so good that I just leaned into it. She asked me if I finished and I said yes. We made a bit of small talk, then I showered again and quickly left.” — via Reddit

2. “When I walked out, I was on cloud nine”

“I used to date a guy who occasionally went to rub and tugs. I was super intrigued and low key kind of jealous. One time he asked if they would give me a happy ending, but they said no. Why weren’t there places that did this for women?! We deserve to get off like that too. Fast forward to last summer. I did my research and found a place by my house that definitely serviced men. But the question remained: as a woman, would I leave happy too?

Happy is an understatement. The first time I walked out of there, I was on cloud fucking nine. I’ve been back a few times since with a few different providers. I’ve also tried a few different spas, but the one by my house is my favourite. Today I was horny, so I called the massage place. A half hour later, I’m on the table getting oiled up. An hour later, I’m feeling blissful and floating home.” — via Reddit

3. “I felt awkward after”

“I’ve gotten [a happy ending massage] once when I was in my early 30s. I’d been going [to this massage place] for over a year, seeing the same person, and began to insinuate I was open to it, reading the signs. I pretty much asked for it vs being propositioned, so it was unlike the traditional male happy ending.

I built up to it, eventually asking him to rub my thighs a bit higher, then inching my legs open a bit while telling him it felt good, and making little noises to show that I enjoyed it. Finally one day I just said, ‘Do you massage anywhere that you don’t advertise?’, and he said he would take care of me, so I settled in and got a really nice clit massage and finger banging out of it.

Having a really intense orgasm on a massage table isn’t super comfy, and I felt awkward after, but even more awkward when I was tipping him after we finished the massage.” — via Reddit

4. “I probably had 70+ orgasms”

“I went for a tantric yoni massage. It was three hours long and I probably had at least 70+ orgasms. I stroked both his cock and my husband’s cock throughout the massage, too, so that was hot.” — via Reddit

5. “What I really loved was the tension”

“[A dating app match I met] was pretty great with his massage — warm oil, a full body massage. I never had a vulva massage before that (not masturbation, really a massage) and it was so divine. Then at some point he sat naked at the bottom of my ass; I could feel him hard and was so ready to explode. He was massaging my thighs, then inner thighs, with long slow movements, then my labia with circular movements up to the belly. He was avoiding the clitoris — yoni massages always seem to focus on the clitoris, but what I really loved was the tension created by avoiding it; just the whole running around and me feeling like screaming, ‘Just go for it!’. I must have been leaking litres. I’ve never received anything like that!” — via Reddit

6. “I was in disbelief it was happening”

“When I was in my early 20s, I was getting over a relationship and felt like I could really use a good Swedish massage. I was in the middle of a dry spell sexually and honestly was just craving some touch. I wasn’t thinking sexually at all, just [about a] comforting massage. So I booked a one-hour session at a local massage chain.

The massage started, and [the therapist] massaged my back first, down to my butt, then up both my legs. When she massaged my legs, she went all the way up, almost grazing my outer labia. I felt tingles all over and started to get wet, but didn’t think she’d notice. When I flipped over, she massaged my shoulders, arms, stomach to upper pubic area, then legs. The massage on my inner thighs felt amazing and she was getting close to my labia again. I was definitely wet now. She must have seen it soaking through the sheet.

I was on a cloud just enjoying myself, expecting the massage to come to a close soon. As she got closer to my pussy, she asked if I was enjoying the massage. All I could think to say was yes, it was very relaxing. Before I realised what was happening, she was massaging my outer lips. It felt so good; I was speechless and almost in disbelief that it was happening. Soon, my inner lips were being massaged, followed by my clit. Part of me was loving it and another part was embarrassed. I briefly looked up, and she told me just to relax and that she’ll take care of everything. I hesitated for a moment, then a voice in my head was like, lay back and enjoy it.

A few moments later, I said, ‘If you keep doing that, I’m probably going to cum.’ She briefly stopped touching and went to the door which had one of those push-button locks. I saw her lock the door and increase the volume of music, as well as dim the lights. She then lifted the sheet up to my waist so everything below my stomach was fully exposed. She took my legs and spread them wide so they were hanging off the table. She then went right back to my pussy, saying, ‘Go ahead, cum when you are ready.’ She increased the speed, rubbing my clit super fast, and started sliding a finger in and out. I started making gasping noises and got a little nervous that someone could hear. She kept telling me I’ll be fine, [and to] just relax. I was so aroused, I just laid back and spread my legs wide and told her to keep going.

The louder my gasping became, the faster she rubbed my pussy, then I felt two fingers in me. She kept fingering and rubbing my clit fast, and I squeezed her hand as my legs started to tremble. It was an incredible orgasm. The massage came to a close soon after. I was super embarrassed. The therapist asked me how I liked the session—red-faced, I said it was very good thank you. I’ve since had numerous other massages, but never anything else like this ever happened. I have thought about my happy ending many times, and have masturbated to it as well.” — via Reddit

7. “I came not even five minutes in”

“I’ve been looking for a massage parlor for a while that would give me a happy ending; I never found one. Finally, I decided to post on Reddit and seek someone who could give me what I was looking for. After hundreds of messages and DMs, I picked someone—and holy shit, it was the perfect full body massage. His hands [were] gentle yet firm all over my skin. Perfect music and temperature, and warm oil making everything silky and smooth.

The massage lasted around 30-40 minutes without ever actually touching my pussy—just getting dangerously close. By the time he reached my ass, I was gushing wet. He finally started gliding his finger up and down my pussy and rubbing my clit. It felt so amazing. Soon his finger was in my wet pussy, slowly going in and out, while his other finger rubbed over my clit. I was so turned on from all the anticipation that I came not even five minutes into him playing with me. It was the best orgasm, and hands-down one of the greatest sexual experiences of my life. It was fucking amazing.” — via Reddit

8. “It was a lovely sensual experience”

“I didn’t really have a happy ending massage, but the closest thing was a tantric massage that involved an orgasm—[though that] wasn’t the goal of the massage, if that makes sense. I highly recommend it, as it was super relaxing and a lovely sensual experience.” — via Reddit

It was the best orgasm, and hands-down one of the greatest sexual experiences of my life

9. “I definitely wanna go back!”

“I was gifted a free massage by someone and went for it. I did a bit of research on the place, and saw a couple people say they’d had happy endings. I didn’t expect that, or even believe it, but it was on my mind. Fast forward to the massage, I was laying on my front and I had a female masseuse rubbing my back. It felt amazing and I didn't have anything on my mind.

A little later, she asked if I was okay with a chest massage. I wasn't sure what she meant, so I nervously said, ‘Do you mean my boobs?’. She smiled and nodded her head, and I nervously but excitedly said okay. I moved over to my back, she oiled up my boobs and massaged them in the most sensual way. I got horny very quickly and feeling her rub my nipples too got me so close. After a few minutes, I asked her if I could touch myself — I was getting so close just from her touching my boobs that I needed too. She shook her head a bit and said, ‘Would you like me too?’. All I could whimper was, ‘Yes please’. She moved her hands down towards me and it was amazing. I’d never been fingered ‘professionally’ before, but this was amazing. She brought me to the most amazing orgasm I’d ever had. I definitely wanna go back!” — via Reddit

10. “It made me feel tingly in the best way”

“There are some good and bad things with this one experience. Good things were: the massage itself felt so amazing, super relaxing, and just the best first massage I’ve ever had. The erotic part of the massage was mind-blowing — some teasing of the breasts and nipples, and he also teased my clit and pussy, which made me feel all tingly in the best way. He then went down on me and I certainly had the best happy ending!

The bad thing was the sex after — only [because] his ‘thrust game’ consisted of pumping my legs back and forth to move me and it was like an actual workout. I felt that shit in my legs the next day, like I went hard on leg day. If the sex was better it would’ve been a 10/10 experience, but it’s just a 7/10. Despite that, I would still do it again.” — via Reddit

11. “It turned into a two-hour playtime”

“I’ve gone with my husband to a naughty massage place. We both got happy endings, but [the masseuses] were both women. The third time we went, things got crazy. It turned into a two-hour playtime—hands, mouths, and bodies in a sweaty mess. No sex though. It was awesome! Everyone was getting fingered. Hubby had all three of us girls playing with his cock. I went down on one of the girls (I’d never done that before), and had sex with [my husband] with [the masseuses] watching. Wild experience.” — via Reddit

12. “She touched my pussy every chance she could”

“I’d been telling myself I needed to go get a massage and there’s one not too far from where I live, so I decided to go. [Quickly, there’s a few signs that this might] more than I bargained for. As she led me back to where my room was, she interlocked her fingers in mine and said, ‘You’re my first girl’. Then, as I walked into the room, she told me to undress and spanked me as I walked in. I thought nothing of it, and I got undressed, put my clothes in the basket they had, and laid down with a towel over my butt.

After a little bit, this lady walked back in and immediately ripped the towel off me. Most of her work was on my lower back (one of my biggest ‘sweet’ spots), making sure to run her hands on my ass as much as possible, and then along my sides, touching my boobs a lot too. Then she concentrated on my butt and legs, making sure to touch my pussy every chance she could. Soon, she told me to turn over, and she massaged my legs before legit grabbing my pussy and said, ‘Do you like that?’. I nodded, kinda dumbfounded. She asked for a tip, so I told her to get my purse and gave her a decent tip (I’m assuming, this is my first time), and then in went a finger and she started sucking my nipples. She made me cum so fast… and she just kept going till my hour was up.” — via Reddit

13. “I was trying so hard not to moan”

“I’d been to the same massage place several times. The ambiance was lacking, but it was cheap and they took walk-ins. I typically had the same masseuse; she was good, but she wasn’t great about keeping me draped. I have a tiny bit of an exhibitionist streak, so the lack of doors and questionable draping techniques didn’t phase me. I can’t believe I’m admitting this, but I think that is part of what kept me going back.

Anyway, after the first couple of times, I guess she realised that modesty wasn’t an issue, and she wasn’t concerned with keeping me covered. Eventually she got the point of having me lay on my stomach with my legs apart, so she could stand between my feet to massage my feet and calves. My pussy lips were spread and I could feel the cool air between my legs. It made me so horny. I ended up leaving and going straight home to get myself off.

On my fourth or fifth trip, I was laying on my stomach. She kept massaging my ass, hips, and inner thighs. I absolutely love having my ass touched and I usually get off the hardest when my partner is massaging, kissing, or licking my cheeks and asshole, so I was super turned on by her massaging my ass. She was touching parts of me that no one ever sees or touches, other than those that I have sex with. When she finally had me slide up on the table, I knew that I left a wet spot on the sheet and was really hoping she didn’t see it. I guess I was okay with her being up close and personal with my asshole, but her seeing the puddle I left on the table embarrassed me.

I’m not sure if she could tell I was enjoying it, or if she saw that I was super wet, but she kept getting closer and closer to my pussy. Her hand grazed my lips several times. This went on for what seemed like forever. She started putting more pressure on my ass, so my clit was grinding into the table. My whole body was so relaxed and I almost felt like I was floating. I knew at this point it was intentional because she kept on doing this instead of moving on to the next part of my body. She asked if I was still doing okay, and I couldn’t respond because I was trying so hard not to moan. I managed to nod a little.

She started going faster and put more and more pressure and I finally got off. I could feel it all over my body, not just in my pussy. I just laid there and tried to catch my breath without it being super obvious. I still wonder if she could see my pussy and asshole throbbing when I finally got off. She finished massaging my back and shoulders, I got dressed, left her a hefty tip, and left. It was so surreal. When I got in my car, I was literally like, ‘What the fuck just happened?.’” — via Reddit
