Massage

I have a totally amazing husband!  He surprised me with a couples massage on Saturday and it was lovely :o)  I have a question to ask you...do you mind if you have a male masseuse?  Do you have a preference?[Poll]

Re: Massage

  • I don't have a preference. I have had massages from both. I can take my clothes off for either. lol Devil

  • I put "female" although I'm probably "no preference" - I had my first male masseuse a few weeks ago.  He just wasn't as subtle about moving from one area to another - it was like there was a checklist in his head

    __ Left shoulder (check)

    __ Left upper back (check)

    __ Right shoulder (check)

    __ Right shoulder

    So instead of moving gradually from one body part to another it was a bit choppy, and less relaxing.  I'm not sure if that's because he was a guy, because certainly not all female masseurs are equal either...

  • As long as the massage is good, I don't care.

    When I was in Jordan, I was staying at a fancy pants resort, so I booked a massage. They asked me at least 3 times when I booked if I was ok with having a male massage therapist, because he was the only one available, and then reminded me again when I checked in.  I just wanted to say, "yeah, it's cool- I'm a heathen."

  • I only asked because afterwards I felt very uncomfortable.  I saw him in the hallway afterwards and I felt so awkward.  I could not even look at him.  Oh and turning over...so awkward for me!  I would have much prefered a female, but everyone is different.

  • I always thought I'd be uncomfortable with a male masseuse, but last summer I was booked with a male when getting a massage at a spa on vacation.  It was the 2nd best massage I've ever had.  It didn't hurt matters that he was hot.  And Latin.

  • Lance and I always go to the same place for our couples massages and I always get the male massage therapist. BUT I am pretty sure that he is more of a fem than I am, so it is pretty much the equivalent of having a female. But I don't care as long as it is good, and I am VERY hard to massage because being a massage therapist myself I am so judgey.

  • I said no preference, but I may actually prefer female.  Sometimes I think males think they're applying too much pressure and are nervous to do so, whereas, in my experience, girls aren't worried about applying more pressure when I ask.
  • I have only had one professional massage (a hot stone one, it was amazing!) and I had a female masseuse, so I did not vote.

    But, I don't think I would mind if I had a male, as long as the massage was good, and he wasn't making inappropriate comments (he can only think those!! LOL)

  • I'm embarrassed to say that I've never had a professional massage.  My MIL got me a gift certificate to a spa for my bridal shower last August that I still haven't used.  I was thinking about using it for a massage soon.  Guess I should get on that!
