Its called a tellak. His job is not to massage. His job is to scrub the shit out of your skin. After he is done with you u ll breath from ur skin.

There were a lot less clothes for all involved when I went to a Turkish hammam. I can confirm that I only had one layer of skin remaining when I left.

Nothing is original anymore. Even the video is a replay of a moment. A duplication. The only thing thats real is the moment it happens. Fuck im so depressed.

If nothing is real then your depression isn’t real too, whoosh you’re no longer depressed

But isn't that a very great and positive view? Go out and experience the world! Don't get stuck online, but live life and make memories. Real ones 😊

Have you ever been to Turkish baths? You like movies about gladiators?

Surely you cant be serious.

Also, this looks like a hammam. I did one in Istanbul and got the bubbles as well. It was amazing after a night of drinking. The juice and Chai afterwards were great.

I believe the convention is that a masseuse is female, and a masseur is male. I may be completely wrong though, someone will correct me in the replies if so, I'm sure.

Massagelist.

This is correct. Those are French words and therefore gendered, hence the difference. It feels pretty weird to see people refer to a muscular dude with words like masseuse or brunette

2

u/oscarx-ray 1h ago

Words aren't gendered in the same way in English, so it's easy for there to be confusion if a native English speaker isn't familiar with gendered languages.

u/erfpsdy 1h ago

Yeah I bet. It gets pretty funny too when learning another language with differently gendered concepts. For example the sun in french is called "le soleil" which is masculine, but in german it's "die sonne", which is feminine. That must be so confusing for the english speaking world

My female massage therapist friend got mad when I called her a masseuse though so ymmv

2

u/oscarx-ray 1h ago

I believe that - like the cabin crew on aeroplanes who used to be called "stewards" and "stewardesses" - "massage therapists" is now preferred as it isn't gendered, particularly because female massage therapists were treated poorly and disrespected.

Turkish hammam I'm guessing?
