    Retirement is Inevitable

    685 1024 Rachael Richards

    After almost a decade in the erotic massage industry I now consider myself semi-retired. I have moved to a touring-only business model. I do not currently have a home base.

    What does semi-retired even mean?

    It means I no longer see clients full time and I only see clients because I want to, not because I need to. I am currently focusing on other endeavors. Although I have considered retiring from this industry entirely, this work is and always has been an outlet for my sensuality and creativity. I enjoy touching others and I am reluctant to withdraw myself completely from something that is frequently a source of pleasure and enjoyment. Instead, I am opting to be ultra-selective about who I meet and when I am available. I am only able to meet a few hours each week. Some weeks or months I have no availability at all.

    Screening, Scheduling, and Marketing

    I love expressing my sensuality, and I find the administrative work of running a business to be joyless and taxing. Unfortunately, administrative work is easily where one spends the bulk of their time and energy in this business. It is this joyless work that I no longer have space for in my life. As a result, I have streamlined administrative tasks to work optimally for me. I recently updated my website and did my last professional photo shoot (February 2021). I will not be putting any additional efforts into marketing myself post 2021.

    I do not have energy to waste following up with emails and inquires that do not meet my strict screening criteria. New inquires without the requested ID selfie go directly to the trash. Emails that do not relate to screening or scheduling are unlikely to receive a response. I work by email only. I do not respond to emails or inquiries Wednesday-Friday. While the vast majority of people I see have known me for some time, I am still open to meeting new people. People who follow my directions carefully and respect my need for safety are the people I most enjoy spending time with. As a result, these are the only people who I am interested in meeting.

    I love what I do but as other passions take hold, my life is heading in a different direction.

    Don’t be Fooled by Imitators- I am The Original Milking Table Massage Artist™

    1024 728 Rachael Richards

    When I started advertising milking table massages and my unique take on edging there was hardly anyone even mentioning edging (aside from some Tantric practitioners) I had never seen anyone offering milking table services at all. That’s not to say that I entirely created the milking table. There was plenty of porn on the internet. I didn’t invent edging either but I did blend them to create a unique offering and a unique experience that I had never seen anywhere. Even the porn I saw related to milking tables was not specifically aimed at edging in any way.

    I created my milking table in 2013 after a long time client of mine told me that I would enjoy it. He put me on to milking table porn and first time I saw it I knew I had to have one. I looked online and found NOWHERE to purchase a milking table so I created my own. I loved it so much that I created my unique edge experiences. If you come across another website with content and verbiage strikingly similar to what you find on this website you can trust that the content originated with me (you can easily track my online presence back a decade). Since I started advertising my unique milking table edging experiences I have had to be vigilant about people who have copied my ads, and even my photos. To this day I will notice a woman asked me for a reference and then a day or a week later that woman is advertising “The Edge with milking table”.

    While I support everyone’s ability to make money and stay safe in whatever business they are in I do think one should be be skeptical of someone who copies the content and ideas of others. I put a lot of time and energy into my website and the content that I put on the Internet. If my description and the verbiage on my website appeals to you I can assure you it’s because it is authentic. Edging is my kink and I believe that that shows through in both my services and my content. As a Stone Top (learn about what this means here), edging others offers me a uniquely satisfying experience. The sights, sounds, and sensations of someone in the throws of an arousal higher than they have ever experienced is an absolute delight to my being. To be with someone as this endorphin rush is coursing through their body thrills me in a way that words are too limiting to describe.

    I encourage everyone to seek out experiences and people that intrigue them. Erotic services are unique in that the individuals offering them are unique. You can take on the same activities with different people and have completely different experiences with each person. When you seek out my milking table edging offerings you are seeking to experience them with their original creator and a true edging fetishist- The Original Milking Table Massage Artist ™ since 2013

    Which Service Should I Choose?

    1024 273 Rachael Richards

    So you’ve stumbled onto my site and aren’t sure which experience is right for you.

    My suggested first-timer session is always Relax on The Edge. It is my favorite, and it makes optimal use of my milking table.

    I do not usually feel comfortable making suggestions for people who I do not know and have never met. I prefer relying on you to know what you like.

    Here are some questions to help you determine which session is best for you:

    Is my milking table your primary interest?*

    YesRelax on The Edge, The Edge

    No– Any Service

    Are you interested in edging?

    YesThe Edge or Relax on The Edge

    NoNude Bodywork

    Are you submissive or curious about BDSM?

    YesBondassage or The Edge

    NoNude Bodywork, The Edge, or Relax on The Edge

    Which offering are you intuitively drawn to?

    Don’t second guess yourself– Choose that service!

    If you are interested in edging but do not have any previous experience with it, I recommend Relax on The Edge or The Edge 1hr. Please refrain from booking a longer edging experience unless you are certain it is for you. Not all bodies enjoy being exposed to high levels of arousal for extended periods of time.

    *Nude Bodywork does not take place on my milking table

    Hope to see you soon!

    What Is Post-Orgasm Torture?

    1024 273 Rachael Richards

    Post-orgasm torture is when stimulation is continued after orgasm. Because the body is in a state of heightened sensitivity after release, the sensations produce by post-orgasm torture are intense, and can even be painful. This often sets up a power dynamic where the receiver is forced to endure something they would normally enjoy, thereby putting the “torturer” in a position of power. Post-orgasm torture is best done when the receiver is bound or otherwise restrained, as they often twitch, kick, thrash, and flail uncontrollably.

    For people who are kinky and like to submit, post-orgasm torture is a natural extension of edging. The body stays in a heightened state of arousal for a long time while edging, and this sensitivity lingers post-orgasm. Imagine wanting to release so badly you’re begging for it, you finally receive the stimulation you’ve been aching for, but then it won’t stop. If this sounds awful to you, that’s why it’s called torture.

    If we’ve met before, you may already be aware of my fondness for post-orgasm torture, even if you are unaware of its moniker. It’s one of the things I love to do simply because the response delights me, and I am often unable to resist the temptation when the opportunity to indulge presents itself. Some people laugh, some people cry, and some people just beg for it to end—it’s that wonderful.

    Interested in being bound, edged, and tortured?

    Be sure to let me know!

    Deposits

    1024 636 Rachael Richards

    I have noticed more and more providers requiring deposits for their time and services.

    You may have noticed this too.

    I was initially quite surprised by this occurrence.

    You may have been too.

    However, providers are constantly dealing with the threat of cancellations. Cancellations have the ability to hurt one’s livelihood, especially when special accommodations or arrangements have been made for the appointment, or when a provider’s time in genuinely limited. This becomes especially important when a provider is traveling or on tour, and when a provider is low volume.

    When a provider is traveling, there are many expenses involved. Plane tickets, incall, advertising- all of the normal expenses of business increase exponentially, specifically when visiting a major metropolitan area such as Philadelphia, New York City, Chicago, or San Francisco. A 1 week trip to New York City can easily cost a provider thousands of dollars upfront. Last minute cancellations can devastate a provider in this situation. As a frequent traveler, I am all too familiar with this situation. Deposits greatly reduce this threat and protect a provider’s financial health. Many providers are no longer touring unless they receive enough deposits to cover their expenses. This is an incredibly smart business decision, as it is an easy way for providers to protect their financial interests while traveling. For many of us, traveling no longer makes sense if we are running the risk of financial loss.

    Please respect a provider’s request for deposits if you would like to see them in your city.

    Another situation that leaves providers vulnerable to cancellations is when they are truly low volume. No matter the reason for one being low volume, if only seeing a handful of clients each week or each month, a few cancellations can easily push one into financial discomfort. That is not to say that higher volume providers are not affected by cancellations. Cancellations can still throw off one’s goals and result in wasted time — nobody likes their time being wasted. Although a heavy client load does allow for a little more financial wiggle room in the face of cancellations, not everybody has the time, energy, desire, or ability to take on a large enough client load to be able to comfortably absorb cancellations. In my experience, most providers do not want to take on a client load that large — I certainly do not.

    You may be worried about losing your deposit in the event the provider cancels the appointment, no-shows you, or otherwise goes missing. If you are concern about this, you probably should not visit with this person.

    Not every provider is able to require deposits. Those who are able to typically have a strong online presence, and have built themselves and their business up with integrity. At this level, it would make no sense for a professional to run off with your deposit. Firstly, it is typically only a fraction of the full rate they will receive upon meeting. Secondly, a provider can easily be slandered for running off with people’s money. The detrimental impact of this on one’s business and livelihood is not worth a couple hundred, (or even thousand) dollars. It takes a lot of hard work and time to build a positive presence and reputation in this work. Your deposit is not worth risking one’s hard-earned reputation.

    If you are not comfortable giving a deposit, then do not give one. Simply move on to another provider. There is nothing wrong with this.

    Deposits allow providers to reduce the financial risks and burdens of cancellations. After a rash of cancellations and a number of life changes, I have decided to require deposits. My availability has been significantly reduced, and without deposits, it will no longer make sense for me to continue in this work.

    Starting January 1, 2018, I will require a (nonrefundable) deposit for all appointments.

    Would You Like a Review?

    1024 512 Rachael Richards

    Reviews are a funny thing (milking table massage reviews included). I understand their usefulness, and I think they help to keep us all safe. However, the “kiss and tell” aspect leaves a lot of us ladies feeling uncomfortable, at best. Even when it’s positive and flattering, It doesn’t feel great to read about your intimate encounters on the internet.

    “Glowing” reviews still leave me a bit vexed.

    Every review written is inherently subjective, and it can create an inappropriate expectation. When someone writes a review, the reader may interpret it in an entirely different way than was intended. Contrary to what you may think, even something as seemingly straightforward as the color “red” means different things to different people. Just imagine how much variation there is in the interpretations of intimate human interactions! People can be in the same room, doing the same thing, and have wildly different experiences.

    What’s more, reviews often fail to account for the more subtle nuances of the experience. Positive reviews rarely mention that the writer was completely transparent about himself during the screening process, or was willing to go above and beyond to make the woman feel comfortable prior to meeting- something that can make a HUGE difference in the quality of time spent together. Or the fact that the gentleman took a shower without being prompted, actually used soap to wash his ass crack, dried off well, and came out of the bathroom fresh and clean. On the flip side, negative reviews rarely mention that the man was bitter throughout the screening process. They NEVER mention that he came in on a hot summer day and “showered” by letting the water hit him but not using any soap and failing to reach his ass, or worse, refused to shower all together.

    Then there are the rough or aggressive men. Men that feel as if they can take liberties with a woman’s body because they are paying. I have actually had a man tell me that he should get to touch me wherever and however he wants because he is paying. Um…no. This same man went on to write me a positive review, but I think it is clear to see how that could have gone very differently.

    If you think you are going to call all the shots because you are paying, please do not contact me- we are not a good match.

    So if you see a review that says a woman doesn’t like kissing, or nipple play, or any specific activity, you should probably check with her to see if that is true. Could just be the case of a rough, aggressive, or smelly man. Or could have just been that day she wasn’t feeling it and wasn’t going to pretend. We like different things, with different people, at different times. Just like everybody else.

    Reviews make women vulnerable. For many, this work is our livelihood. It is not uncommon to be threatened with a “bad review” by someone who is rude, aggressive, or refusing to be screened. The review board that is relied upon most in my area is not accommodating to women who ask for these false reviews to be removed, and women are forced to deal with the ramifications of such vindictiveness.

    More and more women are adopting a “no review” policy. Try not to be put off by this, as many of these women have great websites, and a strong online presence via social media so that you can be assured they are who they say they are. What it really means is that they want to be able to have an experience with you that is uninhibited by preconceived notions, and they refuse to be forced into a vulnerable position.  These are intelligent women who do not want to read about their private encounters on a public forum. If one of them catches your eye, you should not let a lack of reviews deter you.

    Like many women, I put a lot of work into the way I present myself online. I write all my own content, and it is authentic. I take new pictures every 6-9 months, and I post selfies regularly. All of this is easily accessible online. These things show a woman takes what she does seriously, whatever that may be, and should be given much more weight than the subjective experience of another man.

    I am conflicted about reviews. I believe the gentleman I have the best experiences with often do not write reviews, but they do read them. And I understand why, but with a strong online presence and  50+ reviews already, are more really necessary?

    In any event, try asking before you write a review. You may be surprised to find that many women do not them. Especially on a board or forum they are not posting ads on.

    I Am Never Available Now

    1024 603 Rachael Richards

    I understand that life can be unpredictable, and that’s why I never get upset if you have to cancel, even if it is the day of our scheduled meeting. Actually, I always require a same-day confirmation, just in case something comes up, you happen to forget we have an appointment, or you just get cold feet (it happens!). This way, it is easy for me to make other plans for my day without getting upset or being inconvenienced that your life got in the way of our meeting.

    However, expecting me to make myself available with just a couple hours notice? No way. Maybe your day opened up unexpectedly, but I simply don’t have the luxury of sitting around waiting for a phone call or booking form.  If I had to wait around for spur of the moment bookings, my life wouldn’t be very happy or productive, and I would have completely moved on from this business by now.

    I wear many hats- daughter, sister, student, partner, lover, friend, professional… you get the point. My life is full, and this world is just a tiny piece of it. When you see I am traveling, I am not “touring.” My personal life and outside adventures take me to different cities, and I like to meet some friends while there.?

    Occasionally, I can make myself available for a same-day meeting if you let me know in the morning (morning means before noon. That’s actually what morning means). But the truth is, the little bit of free time I have for these extracurricular activities is so limited that it goes quickly. It is not unusual for my schedule to be full days, and occasionally weeks in advance.

    If your schedule is always hectic/last minute, then take the time to get prescreened so that screening is already out of the way when you are able to meet. It is nearly impossible to get screened AND booked last minute.

    Take the time to plan ahead, and I promise I’ll do my best to make our time together unforgettable.

    Bondassage Is Not About Pain

    512 1024 Rachael Richards

    And neither is kink or fetishism.

    For that matter, only a small part of BDSM as a whole is about pain, and I’m not really sure where this widespread perception that kink is all about pain came from. Is that how mainstream media portrays it? I’m way too deeply involved in the kink world to know if this is the case, but if it is- don’t believe everything you see on TV!

    Kink and BDSM have become blanket terms for acts of sexual expression that fall outside the perceived sexual norm. People engage in kinky activities for a variety of reasons, but it’s the desire for connectionintimacy, and pleasure which mostly drives them, not pain.

    So what is Bondassage about then? Watch my bondassage video here. Or, read on…

    No doubt, you’ll get a different answer depending on who you ask, and no two people approach Bondassage the same way. For me, Bondassage is about embodiment and the exploration of physical sensations. Some techniques, such as bondage and sensory deprivation are borrowed from BDSM as tools to enhance pleasure and presence. As a Bondassage practitioner, my desire is for you to completely let go, and allow yourself to be open to new experiences, both physically and mentally, as being bound and surrendering control can have an enormous mental component.

    If you have a huge hang up around being bound or blindfolded, then bondassage is not for you.

    If you’re truly open to new experiences and want to relax while someone else takes control of your pleasure, bondassage can be a wonderful experience.

    If you are still feeling like you are not getting a straight answer as to what bondassage is, that is because each session is different, and truly crafted for the individual. I goal is to read your body, and let your responses dictate where we go next- so don’t be a dead fish!

    In a sense, bondassage is BDSM-lite, which makes it great for people who feel ready to explore kink, but do not know where to start — I love introducing newbies to the dark side!

    For a peek into bondassage, take a look at my video, but remember — it is just a teaser of one possible scenario.

    What Is Edging?

    1024 512 Rachael Richards

    I am frequently asked, “What is Edging?”

    Edging massage is one of my absolute favorite sexual activities, and I am utterly delighted to have discovered how many people are curious about it! There are many ways to explore edging, and it is a great introduction into erotic power dynamics (if that sort of thing appeals to you). For me, edging is all about tracking and controlling the arousal of someone else. Arousal is a potent physiological state, and I obtain a remarkable high when experiencing another person’s slow climb into a state of unprecedented arousal. The increased heart rate, flushed skin, erratic breathing, and ecstatic moans feed my erotic appetite… I could revel in your arousal forever.

    But What IS Edging?

    Edging is a sexual technique sometimes referred to as “peaking,” “orgasm control,” or “surfing.” It involves prolonging a high arousal state, without reaching orgasm. This high arousal is reached by slow bringing one to the “edge” of orgasm, but backing off just prior to release. By skillfully “surfing” near orgasm using this technique, a high arousal is stretched out over an extended period of time. The result is a build-up of powerful sexual sensations, which can induce a highly pleasurable, euphoric state. People often experience changes in perceived consciousness when in this state, reporting feeling of transcending space and time, as if they have fallen into an erotic trance. In addition to this euphoria, when orgasm is finally allowed, the physical experience is exponentially more intense and pleasurable, due largely to the intense physical demands of remaining in a state of high arousal, coupled with the accumulation of sexual tension.

    There are a few commonly seen uses of edging, as orgasm control lends itself quite well to BDSM practices.

    “Tie and tease” is the coupling of edging with bondage. This can be a physically, and psychologically intense experience, as sexual tensions, and frustrations are further exacerbated by the helpless of being in bondage.

    “Tease and denial,” also referred to as “orgasm denial” is essentially edging without any release. Orgasm denial is a great way to establish, and exercise control over someone. The intense arousal and psychological need that can be cultivated with orgasm denial often helps one to enjoy intense feelings of erotic submission, and surrender. Orgasm denial can be taken one step further, into chastity… but that’s a topic for another time.
