How do i learn to give good massages?

[Ted]

I am very interested in the body and muscles, i want to learn where all the best pressure points are and everything for giving massages ( yea im a novice, dont know the correct terms) I would like to know what im doing rather than just doing it freestyle ( yes it still feels good but i want to be more professional) i don't want to do this for a job necessarily and cant pay for any training right now. What i want to know if anyone here has done any sort of online thing or learned from a book on how to give proper massages. also are there any formal places i could go to practice it? maybe get massages in return( i need one! )

There are actually classes you can take that will teach you.. you do have to pay though but you will end up getting a certificate in the end which will allow you to work in massage therapy. Those classes are usually found in asthetic schools and you have to do your research well because some of them are scams.. be weary of schools that are just starting out and new in the area.. find a school with a good repuation, good teachers and reviews that you can look at. Your gf will be very lucky haha i wish all guys took classes on massage therapy.. why is i talways us girls doing it for u guys?
