The answer my Dear is quite simple.
An RMT is more interested in earning $60 per hour rather than $180-$200.
And if you like, I can teach you EVERYTHING you need to know at a very, very reasonable rate.
All kidding aside, it helps to have an actual massage table so that the masseuse can put real strength into their strokes, or if you wish to offer Thai-type massage, a matt or thin mattress on the floor. There are now several places that offer lessons in Thai and oriental massages like Shiatsu, reflexology and Trager. I love 'em all.
Funny thing for me though...is that when I'm receiving a good, tough, massage, it's almost the opposite of an erotic encounter. But I suppose that was something I learned only after my Thai masseuse became annoyed at me "pitching a tent...."
