My friends got me a gift certificate for my birthday and I made my appointment today. I'm so excited!

I hope I don't like it too much though, they are too expensive!

  • HAHA! I'm so prudish, I hate massages by strange people! :o
    I remember when I went to Sri Lanka, we all somehow got roped into having massages at this botanical garden. I was like 'fine... erm, okay' and then they said we all had to take our tops off! I was like 'WTF! NO WAY'! Anyway, it was apparently quite uncommon for the westerners to be bothered by this and the Sri lankans found it hilarious. :rolleyes:

    Your friends give you thoughtful gifts by the way. Have a good time. ;):)

    of course you have to! that is funny. sort of like thinking you can get waxed with your clothes on ;)

    the 1st time it was wierd and I felt uncomfortable, but after reaping the benefits I got used to it. It's a profession - you need to take the intimacy out of it. In the beginning I only used to go to women, but now I am the opposite and will only go to a man. I have a lot of neck and back pain and like the deep tissue massages - men typically do that better than the women. if you like light pressure, you are better off going to a female IMO.

    Yes but the Sri Lankan guys were all stood around watching!

    It'll be fine though, GreenTea. Like 'edvedder' said, you have to forget about the intimacy thing. It's just someones job after all.
  • Just to get you in the mood!

    I just get jumpy when people try to touch me. I accidentally kicked the doctor once!

    I keep wanting to take a pic of this massage parlor on the Upper East Side. The sign out front reads 45 minute massage: Women $45
    Men:$55

    I don't know about the rest of you, but an extra Hamilton seems more than reasonable. ;)

    So did I! And it wasn't accidently! (I was very little then though).

    No seriously, you'll probably think it's great once you get used to it. :)

    You'll love it GTD! :) Even if it is a stranger.

    I thought I'd freak out, but the gal was too good at her job. It was really relaxing and definitely something I'd recommend. You get over being shy real quick. Although I doubt I'd be wanting one the way MCKB described. :eek:
    NOPE!!!

  • AWESOME!


    there is nothing like getting a full massage by a professional! i've had two full-body massages that lasted an hour? i think...and were utterly fantastic! during our busy season, we get one 15 minute massage a week courtesy of the firm, and yes...fully clothed. :p massages are great!

    hubby got me a GC for valentines' day, and i too plan on saving it until after tax season, but i soooooo look forward to it! :D those weekly 15 minute back massages are brillaint though, probably my fave busy season perk.


    btw - i don't know where you people get your massages, but male or female....no massuese has seen my ta-tas. they are quite good at being very discreet. sure, once you take the robe off and are under the towel, all that's left is you, a giant towel and your panties, but none the less.....all the massauese have been very respectful/careful.....so no issues there.



    bottomline.......ENJOY!
    tis the *BEST* pampering gift there is!
    i especially love a facial and massage combo...and all of you get your minds out of the gutter right now! ;)
    Stay with me...

    I am myself like you somehow

    well as I said, I don't plan on getting more! I can't afford another expensive luxury!

    hehe! :D Yeah, I confess, I've only had the one!
    Not like I can just zip out and have one every other week. But they're nice every now and then. :) haha! I just realized it will be 5 years since my last! :D

    true. i guess that just happens outside the country to poor MCKB :D

    believe me, i tired to find different words/combo for that, but couldn't. that's what it IS. a facial...and then a full body massage. and, uttelry fantastic!


    btw - i am a VERY ticklish person, and ZERO issue during a massage. i think such professionals just know how to *touch* people properly to NOT trigger such things. hell, even getting a pedicure with the min-foot massage...no issue! these people know what they're doing! :p

    i've got my 15 minute massage this thursday....5:15 PM....love it! i think i'll plan on the big indulgence april 19th. :D


    true. i guess that just happens outside the country to poor MCKB :D




    see, i thought some of you were agreeing that it happens, that you get over it, etc. i mean, i get what you mean about the intimacy...but absolutely, just b/c they are touching your body does NOT mean they *see* anything, and certainly there is no feelings of intimacy, etc. although sure, whenever i get a massage from a woman i always joke that 'is it wrong to feel so good after being touched by a woman'.......:d but that's all in fun! it DOES feel so good.......b/c you're getting a MASSAGE! :cool:

    I love them TOO!!! I haven't been for ages but yep down to a towel and me knickers and I am set. In that setting I am quite comfy as it a professional so I can just relax.

    I LOVE, LOVE a foot massage but that has to be from someone I know :eek: cuz I like them so much ;)

    Enjoy, GTD. I think if you save your receipt you can save it for tax purposes.. at least here you can as long as they are professional so if you like them a lot you can always say for health reasons

    you'll like it enough to treat yourself when you want & can afford.

    I personally love getting them. I make a point of getting a few a year so I save for them. love it!!!!!
    believe it or not, we don't "need" anything. that is only the spoiled brat in us trying to fill some temporary solution to an emptyness that does not exist.
