I don't get on the bed/table until after she enters. I prefer to greet her properly, first, then get on the table.
For a first session with an MPA, we generally start with a massage. I think MPA's like to size you up and engage in some conversation during a massage, first. If we clicked on the first session, then on a repeat session, she might suggest skipping the massage (love that!).
I personally think skipping the massage on a first session with an MPA is a bit too forceful.
If a first session is going well, I often ask to massage her, too. So starting with a massage is a good way for me to suggest that we switch to me massaging her.
Question for OP: What's the best way to suggest skipping the massage without sound like a perv? When I've ever skipped the massage, she has always suggested it, and I naturally oblige.
