Massage Business Related Questions

[percival]

This is the first in a series of shameless polls designed to help me build my massage business. As a reward for helping me out (hey, this is market research, after all), I promise everybody who answers any of the polls a thirty-minute massage, no matter when we meet and no matter how experienced I will be at that time.

In this question, I'd like to ask you about the ideas, feelings, preconceptions, expectations you associate with certain phrases.
Feel free to answer in the comments if the poll space (255 chars) is not sufficient. You can answer in sentences or phrases. Please feel free to be honest; associations such as "wanker", "free sex", or "rubbish" are just as valuable as "pure bliss", "competence", and "relief".

Just a clarification on why I answered the way I did to the deep-tissue massage question, which was probably one of the odder answers you will get:

Years ago I had a deep-tissue massage in trade for doing someone's astrological chart. I was very tense at the time and my masseur remarked that massaging my shoulders was like popping bubble wrap as I had so many knots! It did hurt at the time but it felt good afterwards...
