where can i get massage oils in seoul?

I've seen grapeseed oil in import grocery stores like Shinsegae, which is what my massage books recommend. If you want them scented, why not put in a couple drops of essential oils, like the ones for sale in the new furniture shop next to Rocky Mountain Tavern in Itaewon? This way, you could get a product more to your taste, and of better quality, for less cash and less embarassment than going into a sex shop.

Some Body Shops sell it. You could always just use baby oil. Don't most guys have baby oil in hand- I mean, ON hand? =)

Are you offering free massages now as well as the beer and chicken?

Olive oil works just fine if you are desperate.

I haven't tried grapeseed, though I am fmiliar with it. A little slick fo my tastes. Olive oil, ditto. Baby oil? At least use a vegetable base for the sake of your skin. The essential oils poin is dead-on if you're into aromatherapy or just want a better ambiance, but you sould look into the effects of the different scents before you choose.

The best oil I've found for massage is almond oil, if you can find it. Couldn't tell you where to look, though. And not processed, mixed stuff, either. Pure, unadulterated only. Perfect viscosity. it isn't slppery like the others mentins but certainly does not create enough friction to be anything near uncomfortable. Truly perfect.

Http://www.vitaminlife.com/ stocks almond oil and all basic essential oils, plus offers int'l shipping. Essential oils can be imported in quantities of up to six at a time with no red tape. If you want more than that, place multiple orders.
